There are so many great shows going on around town with people who love art and have passion for it, who are not here to make a quick buck or show how cool they are by being seen in the scene, that you could go the entire week without running into a single pretentious wannabe. I'm really happy that the organizers of Art Basel decided to bring their fair to our city because it gives us the chance to enjoy all the excitement for the week at the outlying events and exhibitions.
