Fly on the wall

Scope Art Fair in Miami opens today and some of my artworks are being shown! I'm so excited and I want desperately to be a fly on the wall and watch everything. But I can only sit home and try to IMAGINE what's going on. Strange thing, this fair, it takes place in a hotel..and galleries rent rooms and set up artworks in them(!).Takes place at the same time as ArtBasel Miami which is supposedly a big-name$ fair.
So the idea is that people will go to both and hopefully find Scope-artists so much more 'affordable'. heh. Well, who knows. It's my first time being involved in these things...I'm sooo curious!!
Anyone want to go set up a webcam for me over there? thanks.
I don't want to BE there...just..watch.;)How great would that be, I wouldn't even have to go through social-anxiety bouts.I could watch it like...a movie..every now and then...from the comfort of home..virtually wander the hotel ghost-style...see people's reactions to my work, etc.
Right now I feel like the short person in a crowd when the show has just started. UGH!!!LEMME SEE!!

ooh, his paintings are beautiful! Love the swimming and underwater mouse...well, I pretty much like all of them. Intrigued by what is said he will present there- with LIVE mice?hmmm. are these his pets?

as far as i know he uses dead mice for his paintings, i saw few in his studio, but i don't know if he's done something different now.

!!!???
in all the paintings I saw, the mice looked pretty alive- swimming and such...I can't imagine how/why they would be dead..???I thought he worked from photos, like you do..

but for Scope, I saw a project mentioned where it seems he has some sort of a thing going on between his paintings and real live mice in tubes..no pics, just a description on his site.
