WYNWOOD DISTRICT:
ART BASEL MIAMI BEACH
DECEMBER 6-9, 2007
SPINELLO GALLERY and BLACKBOOKS in association with LANDSEA VENTURES and SABOTAZ is proud to present PRIMARY FLIGHT – Miami’s first street level, site specific, mural Installation throughout the Wynwood Art District. The exhibition features over 25 of today’s most respected graffiti artists local and abroad, curated by Books IIII, Anthony Spinello, and Lynn Yohana Howard. Maps outlining the street installation will be available to download online: www.primaryflight.com. Graffiti has long left the streets, having become embraced by some of the world’s greatest collections and museums. Primary Flight’s soul purpose is to provide street artists with concrete outdoor wall space where they have free reign to install their art as they see fit – back into graffiti’s original environment – to be viewed in what is arguably its most appealing format.
