Description

Eikón (i-kone): an image, statue, representation As the concept of art changes with modern influences and media, we bring attention to the most important art form—the human. Art, as a diverse range of human activity that involves the expression of creative and imaginative talent, very often receives more attention than its originating source. Through Eikón, we seek to immerse guests in a visual experience that draws attention to the woman form, also highlighting concepts of the diversity of the woman existence, experience, struggles, and triumphs beyond the confines of society’s collective understanding. In joining forces with women designers and artists who align with our vision, guests can expect a unique Art Basel experience that fuses elements of fashion, art and humanitarianism in one space. Every year, Miami serves as host to Artists and galleries from around the world as they showcase their best work to the United States and its visitors. The Wonder Woman Initiative seeks to push beyond barriers in bringing re-definitions and a wholistic understanding to the idea of art and the artist. Guests will enjoy live art installations, runway show presentations, musical/dance performances, Guest Speakers, and an awards ceremony. Showcasing designers include I AM EIDO, Sexy Sweats, VIP Queen Collection by Jennifer Nicole Lee, Mrs. Kays, and Trèf le Designs.
