While the total number of art fairs at Art Basel this year is down, it seems as though the party is still on. It won't be until it's all said and done that we really know how the current economic crisis, as they're still calling it, will affect one of the coolest, yet completely dispensable art fairs in the world today.

One show you can't miss: Aaron Bondaroff's IT AIN'T FAIR. New York City's Downtown Don brings his expansive community of artists, musicians, and weirdos to Miami Beach.

The second exhibition in Bondaroff and Al Moran's groundbreaking O.H.W.O.W. space in the "West of Wynwood" district, this watershed project gets celebrated curators Tim Barber, Kathy Grayson, Andreas Melas, Dan Nadel, Pablo de la Barra, Nicola Vassell, and Terence Koh to activate their various teams of artists in a huge multimedia exhibition featuring painting, sculpture, video and performance from artists all over the world with a focus on downtown Manhattan.

Over thirty artists will contribute to this exhibition, including a curated outdoor film series and a nightclub in the adjoining space that will include performances by The Gossip, A.R.E. Weapons, and JD Samson, among others. A hub of art activity, O.H.W.O.W. will be the first and last place you go each night of this year's Art Basel Miami. Some of the featured artists at IT AIN'T FAIR include Brandon Herman, Slava Mogutin, Kembra Pfahler, Brad Phillips, Esther Planas, Shinique Smith, Solange Umutoni, Jaimie Warren, plus many more.
