Ba·sel [bah-zuhl] verb: To visit and enjoy the Art Basel event creatively, knowledgeably and efficiently.
Baseling is an acquired skill arising from the instant culture that has enveloped Miami Beach and the downtown Art District. There is much to see and do at Art Basel -- perhaps too much -- and the prospect can be daunting without proper guidance.
Enter Twitter.
Tweeters from around the globe are sharing inside Art Basel information with the hashtag #HowToBasel. And here is an assortment of useful tweets for eager new Baselites. Or, perhaps, "Baseleers" (relevant tweet below).
Happy Baseling.
