Gucci Ghost takes over Nautilus by Arlo ON SOUTH BEACH for Miami Art Week and it is “EVERYTHING!”

Miami, Florida, 25th Nov 2021, ZEXPRWIRE, As the international art world once again descends upon Miami Beach, all eyes will be on the blue-chip group exhibition “Commercial A. F.” curated by Trever Andrews a.k.a. Gucci Ghost and Valeray Francisco. Nautilus by Arlo has set the stage for an immersive installation throughout the property debuting on Wednesday, December 1^st, and running through Sunday, December 5^th, 2022.

Gucci Ghost will be taking over every element of the hotel, from the art deco property’s entryway to a fantastic over-the-pool interactive display. Casper the Friendly Ghost will lead guests to unexpected whimsy as they explore deeper into Gucci Ghost’s world. As part of the installation, Gucci Ghost has curated a group of artists showing their range of artworks exploring the concept of commercialism. Each artist engages with the idea that the acquisition or ownership of goods reflects status and self-identity. The artworks also investigate or criticize this idea in a variety of ways – featuring consumable goods, sites of consumption, the acquisition of goods, or advertising imagery in each piece.

Art categories will include advertising and brands, 1970-present, single object, popular culture, Kitsch, contemporary conceptualism, contemporary re-creations, humor, figurative sculpture, and typologies. VIPs will be invited to the “Gucci Ghost Studio,” a private hotel suite where collectors can purchase original pieces of art that are unique amongst Gucci Ghost’s repertoire of work.

The exhibiting artists will include Ron English, Lucia Hierro, Kosuke Kawamura, HDIJIworld –
