“Art Basel week has become an entire season of its own for all of us immersed in Miami’s cultural community, as the visual arts continue to take center stage, a major driving force for the city’s economy, its identity and its very future,” said Dr. Jordana Pomeroy, director of the Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum FIU. “This year, our museum presents a bold program of exhibitions and events that enrich our destination during Art Basel week and beyond, including our signature event Breakfast in the Park, celebrating its 12th year. We are also featuring Walls of Color: The Murals of Hans Hofmann plus exhibitions by four artists based in Miami - Carlos Estevez, Carola Bravo, Rufina Santana and Ramon Espantaleon,” adds Dr. Jordana Pomeroy.

Known for her large-scale, architectural sculptures and site-specific installations, Alice Aycock’s sculptures and public works can be found in collections and sites across the country and around the world, including the National Gallery of Art, the San Francisco Public Library, the Brooklyn Museum, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Whitney Museum of American Art, Los Angeles County Museum, and the Louis Vuitton Foundation.

Art Basel's Breakfast in the Park at the Frost Art Museum FIU draws hundreds of art enthusiasts, patrons, collectors, gallery owners and artists from around the world.

Each year, a noted sculptor is invited to speak.

Aycock has created installations at the San Francisco Art Institute, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, and in museums throughout Israel, Germany, The Netherlands, Italy, Switzerland and Japan.

She has exhibited at the Venice Biennale, Documenta VI and VIII in Germany and the Whitney Biennial.

Over the decades, Aycock has drawn inspiration for her massive works from the environment, physics, machinery, psychoanalysis, and computer programming. Other sources of inspiration include amusement parks and science fiction.

Alice Aycock has earned a reputation for grappling with conceptual, scientific, and philosophical questions in a stunningly inventive sculptural language.

A member of New York's avant-garde downtown scene in the 1970s, Aycock was drawn to the Land Art movement from early on, making site-specific works from earth, wood, stone, and other natural materials that were influenced by phenomenology. Aycock is represented by the Fredric Snitzer Gallery in Miami, which has generously loaned one of her sculptures to the Frost Art Museum during Art Basel week for Breakfast in the Park 2015.

The Presenting Partner for this year's Breakfast in the Park is West Kendall Baptist Hospital. The event is co-sponsored by Bacardi and InterContinental at Doral Miami.
