I first became aware of Dawoud Bey at the end of 2018, in Miami Beach, when I was out there working on this fun #MiamiArtWeek2018 content. I remember it was a real the-rain-has-passed kinda Sunday afternoon on Indian Beach Park, where the PULSE Miami Beach art fair had set up shop for its 14th edition. […]

David steered the recent renovation and expansion of The Bass, a Miami Beach Art Deco landmark museum that opened on South Beach in 1964 that I quite seldom visited during the time that I lived in South Florida.
