Cool Hunting
Scion's fourth installment of their Installation Art Tour , entitled "It's A Beautiful World," arrives in Miami for Art Basel on 7 December 2007. The opening reception for the public will take place from 7-10pm at The Raleigh Hotel Penthouse on South Beach. Included in the installation are the likes of Mel Kadel (pictured above), Jeff Soto (pictured below), Mike Giant, David Choe, Ron English and a whole slew of others—all street art's finest.
Six of this year's artists designed custom balloons, each eight-feet in diameter, which will fly over the grounds of the Raleigh Hotel. (See our video from last year for the Friends With You balloon parade they sponsored) Also on display, custom-designed Scion art cars from Dalek, Sage Vaughn, and Ron English should be fun eye-candy.
For more information go to Scion.
