There's art aplenty inside the Miami Art Museum: the Objects of Value exhibition exploring how society assigns worth; the maze-like Chantal Akerman video installation and Yinke Shonibare's joyous A Flying Machine for Every Man, Woman and Child, featuring bright Victorian- inspired sculptures of bicyle-powered flying machines invoking the potential of flight, the promise of immigration and the magic of Miami. Thursday night, the thousands at MAM's Art Basel party were also treated to art outside on the plaza in the form of an 84-foot-long Macy's parade balloon by artist Jeff Koons, titled Silver Rabbit Balloon. Unfortunately, the rabbit was making a one-night stand; it's more delicate than it looks, and winds can cause more havoc than a mob of crazed Art Basel goers.
