Art Basel Miami Beach: Spectacular spectacular, Part...
Denise Brown elaborates on why artists just love causing a scene at Miami Art Basel. "Producing something that actually can’t be sold probably interests some artists and for others it’s just about having people look at you and being noticed."

Art Basel Miami Beach: Spectacular spectacular, Part...
Denise Brown talks to t5m at Art Basel Miami Beach about making a spectacle of her work. "I think the idea of doing something spectacular here is something that probably interests a lot of artists because there is a sense that your work becomes commodified here - it’s kind of a shopping mall experience." According to Brown, it is this commercial sense of the event that urges fellow artists on to do something that little bit different - a feature that will make them stand out from the arty crowd. "It’s empowering for the artist and it creates a different dynamic to actually looking at work in the art fair."

Affordable Art in 2008
Continuing with our art coverage this autumn, we went down to Battersea Park to get the low down on the preview evening of the the Affordable Art Fair. Aptly named 'affordable' because you will not find a single piece over £3,000, and even then you'll probably find a lot selling for less, it means you’ll be hard pushed not to find something within your price bracket. For those who are looking for the next Banksy be sure to check out the Recent Graduates' Exhibition to gaze at a diverse spectrum of talent springing up from the UK's art schools. We interviewed gallery owners Rebecca Hossack and Alison Honour, The Fine Art Partnership gallerist Rebecca Eames, and artist-in-residence Charlotte Hardy. We also speculated the future of art as investment with Will Ramsay, the founder of the Affordable Art Fair. Tiffany Fairey of PhotoVoice talks about being the beneficiary charity for the preview night of the fair. We also mingled with the collectors and guests, asking them whether they thought art was a luxury or a necessity.
