‘I’m looking forward to the many exciting cultural initiatives happening in the Miami Design District. I make up for it with lunches and dinners at Sylvanos or Mmmm in Wynwood.’Ĭraig Robins is the original co-founder of Design Miami, CEO of property company DACRA and a linchpin of Miami’s burgeoning Design District. It’s an intense week and I survive it with Cuban coffee from Valero gas station on 23rd Street Miami Beach, and mornings at the gym. He’s the recipient of this year’s Design Visionary Award and as such gets to curate his own stand, which will be clad in leather and features his prolific chair collection. ‘I’m looking forward to seeing Peter Marino’s booth at Design Miami. Jerome Sans has curated One Way, a show of works by Peter Marino at the Bass Museum and runs Perfect Crossovers, a Beijing-based cultural consultancy Another great meeting point for art world players is the excellent and very much under-the-radar Escopazzo - I’m always pleasantly surprised by the people I encounter dining there.’ I’ll do this over warm shrimp salad in our new restaurant Verde. ‘I predict that the Rubell Family Collection’s 20th anniversary exhibition will be a stunner but one of the things I really look forward to is catching up with friends and colleagues from around the globe. Thom Collins is director of the Perez Art Museum, Miami The store’s owners, Roma and Erika Cohen, always have their pulse on artists and designers who work in fresh and experimental ways.’ It will be an interactive environment combining art, retail and music. I am also looking forward to Daniel Arsham's basketball-inspired installation Airball at Alchemist on level 5 of the Lincoln Road car park. As the fair has evolved and brought tremendous international attention to Miami over the past decade, it is fitting that it also recognises evolving local talents. ‘I am very eager to see the work of Emmett Moore at Miami gallery Diet, which will be included within the fair for the first time. Rene Gonzales is a Miami-based architect who is shaping the city’s skyline with his shimmering glass high rises It’s an amazing space and location, and this year their exhibition Beneath The Surface brings together works from a generation of artists who are redefining post-war art movements.’ This year I’ll be heading straight to the De La Cruz Collection. I love exploring, connecting with new people and discovering new designers to work with. ‘Over the past decade Design Miami has grown into an unmissible showcase of creativity and commerce. It consists of ‘frozen’ crystals and creates the illusion of melting ice

Nadja Swarovski has commissioned Chicago-based architect Jeanne Gang to create an installation within the Design Miami exhibition tent. It'll be great to see all the characters and artists that come together to be interviewed by him.’

Twenty-six pieces from artists from 13 countries will be on show. Beyond the fairs, I'm really looking forward to the Peter Marino show at the Bass Museum and the sculpture in Collins Park. It’s a great curatorial platform, and this year, Buenos Aires-based gallery Slyzmud has been selected. ‘I always look forward to Art Basel’s Kabinet program.
