InList returns to Miami for the 4th installment of its Art Basel anniversary party in celebration of “Miami’s Godfather of Wynwood” Moishe Mana’s birthday on Tuesday, December 4 at the Old RC Cola Plant in Wynwood. Slated to be the biggest kick-off party thus far, the exclusive fete will be emceed by *NSYNC’s Lance Bass, headlined by Grammy award-winning Cedric Gervais, along with performances by the eclectic Sonic Butterfly, and will feature an immersion into the world of “Royal Racer” by the latest works of renowned Artist Miguel Paredes. InList’s Art Basel anniversary party brings together their affluent and celebrity membership for one hell of a night, making it one of the most sought-after tickets to attend.

Upon arrival, guests will be whisked into the fast-paced world of “Royal Racer” with 40 retro comic-book visuals created by Paredes, an Urban Realist who combines cutting-edge techniques of street art, pop art and Japanese animation to create his own genre of trend-forward pieces. Those with a need-for-speed will get their fix from CT Robotics & SBPC Systems as they team up with Transmedia Studios to create a one-of-a-kind, high-speed, drone race above-head for a full immersion experience of art, music, celebrities, and racing.

INSTALLATIONS:

Suzy Kellems Dominik's INVISIBLE — Following her I Can Feel 12-foot neon sculpture of a vagina that poetically objectified the female orgasm last year, Suzy Kellems Dominik's forthcoming exhibition, INVISIBLE, presents an ongoing examination of the female form through a series of soft-sculpture totems illuminated by a white-neon caption rendered in the artist’s handwriting stating: “for without feet, one cannot escape.” A monumental sculptural installation that surrealistically presents the female body and investigates the social and cultural implications of beauty and age.

It will be installed in the lobby. Free access, non-ticketed from Monday, December 3rd to Sunday, December 9th. On Wednesday, December 5th at 12 PM, there will be an all-female panel discussion inside of the lobby bar to further explore contemporary artistic modes of storytelling, oral history and autobiography as antidote for and vindication of the female condition. Viewer participation is encouraged. Take part in the story by following the artist on Instagram at @suzykellemsdominik and tagging #SuzyKellemsDominik.
