I did art basel several years ago. I was there for the art. I don’t think it’s worth it for game.
Actually I don’t think it’s really worth it for the art either unless you’re in that profession/scene. Or maybe there to outfit a new home or office.
Even then, there are enough galleries and art shows around the world not to make the special trip. I more enjoyed some of the native art shows during a summer spent in Sante Fe.
That said, Art Basel and the simultaneous shows do have world class contemporary art. Just be realistic.
It’s an older, intellectual crowd. I saw a pair of young girls at one of the parties who were obviously trying to find rich guys. I think one was a tranny.
I didn’t go to any of the beach parties which are a bit more clubby and fun. I talked with a few attractive girls who mentioned they’d be going. Seemed like an all around competitive and pretentious environment to be rolling solo.
I assume there are lots of private insuite parties. That’s really where it’s at. Being a hot young girl would be enough to get invites.
Not sure how a guy would get invited unless you know the host or tag along with a group. Even then I’m not sure you’d receive a warm welcome. Most of the art scene guys are 50+ and would probably be annoyed by your presence.
Unless you’re really into art I’d say skip it. Spend your money and time on a trip to South America. You could ball out there for a few months on that much.
