Chasing giant pink snails

Art Basel is almost here!!!!

For those of you who are not familiar with Art Basel, it is the largest art fair in the world.

It started in Basel, Switzerland (therefore the name) and it’s been coming to Miami in December since 2002.

I can honestly say that Art Basel is my favorite time of the year in Miami.

The whole beach gets taken over by the best artists, art collectors, art dealers in the world.

This year, to kick off the start of Art Basel, there will be 45 huge snails slowly (at a snail’s pace) making South Beach their home from November 18 2010 until January 2010.

The pink snails are part of the global sensation known as the REgeneration Art Project, the Miami Beach snails will be the series latest and first US-based installation.

The art series is designed to inspire a community-wide conversation about the importance of recycling and its environmental impact, while leaving a potent artistic trace on the Miami Beach community.

Lily and I have been riding around town for the past 2 days chasing down these giant pink snails.

And we love them!!!

Thank you Art Basel! :)

(Please vote for us here. Thank you!)

P.S.- Have a great weekend everyone!! We are going to chase some more snails. ;)

    Olá!!!

    Gostei muito das fotografias, a Lily está linda! Já tenho muitas saudades dela. As fotos dos caracois estão um espectáculo! Tentei votar montes de vezes e não vi os votos subirem… algo está errado.

    Beijinhos do Avô Ricardo
