The MADE team also stopped by the Jonathan Mannion exhibition in Miami last week.
Jonathan Mannion, NYC based photographer, director, designer and artist, who has photographed some of the biggest names in the hip hop world such as The Notorious B.I.G., Outkast and Jay-Z, came down to Miami during Art Basel and exhibited a selection of some of his classic photographs from through out his career. During the opening night of the three day exhibition at AE District in Miami, which also featured a live performance by up and coming rapper ASAP Rocky and a DJ set by Clark Kent, Jonathan showed them around his exhibition and talked to them about his craft.
Thankfully they caught it all on video for you to check out as well.

“The 2011 installment of this annual group show, now in its fourth year, takes on a thematic focus: materialism. The exhibition features work by over twenty artists, including: Daniel Arsham, Justin Beal, Anna Betbeze, Ashley Bickerton, Scott Campbell, Peter Coffin, Dan Colen, N. Dash, Sam Falls, Michael Genovese, Luis Gispert, Angel Otero, José Parlá, Sara Rahbar, Ryan Reggiani, Bert Rodriguez, Amanda Ross-Ho, Aurel Schmidt, David Benjamin Sherry, Lucien Smith, Agathe Snow, Jessica Stockholder, Nick van Woert, and Aaron Young, including a special, live performance by New York-based artist Michael David Quattlebaum, Jr., during the opening reception.”
The video gives a nice review of the show and also includes interviews with some of the artists shown. The exhibition runs until this coming Sunday, so make sure to pass by.
