Apparently, there's actually art at Basel

Basel_pulse_h

Two noteworthy items from that little event going on now in Miami: beat.wave, the first, is an 11-foot arch (above) by German architect Jurgen Mayer H. It marks the entrance to the Pulse art fair and was created through an intriguing collaboration: The designer sent a 3-D model to several contractors, essentially daring them to figure out how to build it. The result is (ahem) the greenest structure in South Florida today.

Also, the long-awaited Sound issue of Visionaire will be released tonight at—you guessed it—a Basel party. Consisting of five 12-inch records with art by Cindy Sherman, Raymond Pettibon, and Mario Sorrenti, the issue has sonic contributions from U2, Animal Collective, and Linda Evangelista, who remixes her infamous "I don't get out of bed for less than $10,000 a day" quote into a deliciously attitudinal piece of ambient electro. And yes, that's a good thing.
