Swizz Beatz had an important message for the crowd at the Surf Lodge’s pop-up in Miami on Thursday night.
The musician and producer was tapped by ArtNews to guest-edit its “Deciders” issue, which got an Art Basel welcome during a poolside dinner and after party.
“What we did in this issue was we opened it all the way up to decision makers and deciders and everybody in this room,” said a purple-suited Swizz during dinner. The “room” in this case was proverbial, with guests including Olivia Culpo, Rosario Dawso, and art adviser Lisa Schiff. “It’s about to be 2020. Sky’s not the limit, it’s just the view. Everyone in this room can change anything that we don’t like by understanding the power we have as an entire community. And I’m just happy to be a small piece of it.”
After dinner Swizz took the stage alongside DJ Cassidy for the late-night after party. Schiff got a birthday shout-out from Cassidy onstage; her environmental initiative, One All Every, had also been a highlight of the event. The eco-friendly sunglasses, a collaboration with artist Ugo Rondinone, served as a dinner table centerpiece.
Schiff started the company after learning more about the environmental landscape through her work
