Maybe it’s a reflection of the current economic black cloud — with the construction of ubiquitous luxury buildings coming to a near inevitable halt — but what I can best describe as “construction-chic art” events are all the rage. During Frieze, White Cube threw an infamously wild party at an under-construction Georgian town house in Soho; now Joseph Cayre’s Midtown Miami development is the venue for an exhibition project taking place this week.
