Art director, curator, and Los Angeles Nomadic Division (LAND) founder Shamim Momin (Oprah declares her as one of "10 Women on the Rise") is holding court at "The Island"—an actual islet just a short boat ride away from the Mondrian hotel in Biscayne Bay that she's helped convert into an installation.

I'll sleep when I'm dead! Tonight, Basel is going to be a whirlwind of parties. The virtual who's who of art, fashion, and the international night scene are here to make the rounds in Miami to see and be seen. All in the name of art, of course, ahem.

Well guys, I don't want to make you sad/jealous, but this weekend if you go to any of these events and exhibitions I am telling you about, you won't see me. I'll be taking my talent to South Beach, it's Art Basel and I wouldn't miss it for the world. Even if it does mean next week I will be telling you about my horror TSA pat down situation because I am afraid of those machines. Enough about me, here's the low down on the art scene this week.

Alexandra Richards DJ'd last night at the Soho launch of Realm Boutique, and she had some interesting news to relate on her smoking, art, and appearance in French Playboy. More»

A replica of Max Fish, the veteran Ludlow Street bar, recently made an appearance at Art Basel in Miami. And because you can't throw a venti skim latte in this town without hitting a New Yorker bitching about gentrification, the Post saw it as cause for alarm. More»

Art Basel powers on despite tired feet and hangovers galore because it's all in the name of Art! Here's what went down, who went where and what clothes came off over the weekend. More»

Then she threw a phone at him. Just kidding. The couple, along with the ever-bloated Val Kilmer, took a break from all the art for Aby Rosen, Peter Brant and Alberto Mugrabi's dinner at the W in South Beach. Make sure to check out our (incredibly thorough) Art Basel party coverage, and check back on Monday for all the weekend's events!
