Danzas official logistics partner of Art Basel Miami Beach 2001

As sponsor of the "Art Positions" sector, Danzas will also play a prominent part in the new art exhibition in Miami Beach

Basel, Switzerland (September 6, 2001) -- Danzas has been appointed exclusive logistics partner of Art Basel Miami Beach, an exhibition being held for the first time from December 13 to 16, 2001. Danzas will handle transportation of all stand and decoration material for the show. Following a whole year of preparation, this material will leave the Basel exhibition center in big ocean freight containers at mid-October and start its journey to the Convention Center in Miami Beach. After the freight is unloaded there, the empty containers will be set up along the fabulous beach in Miami Beach's Collins Park and transformed into a veritable art village. Danzas will place this mobile exhibition space at the disposal of about twenty young, up-and-coming gallery owners as a highly original exhibition platform for the show's "Art Positions" sector. This sector is being sponsored by the Danzas Group.

Danzas' engagement at Art Basel Miami Beach is hardly accidental. In fact, there are a number of astounding parallels between Danzas and Art Basel Miami Beach: deep roots in the city of Basel, a global orientation, and the desire of Art Basel to gain a stronger foothold in North America with this new Florida exhibition. All of which makes the selection of the shipping containers as exhibition pavilion and symbolic meeting place of the two enterprises absolutely ideal.

As the official logistics partner of Art Basel Miami Beach, Danzas gains yet another opportunity to demonstrate its ability to deal with the complexities of exhibition logistics, something it has been doing for years. By tailoring its services precisely to the particular needs of the organizers and exhibitors as well as to the local situation, Danzas has earned a very strong reputation in this field. The company has served as the regular logistics partner of countless exhibition organizations in Europe and the entire world for the past forty years.
