Kohn Compound

I think I found my new favorite mural (humungous mural of a very realistic bikini wearing women eating chinese with what looks like an octopus wearing goggles attempting to remove her top)… hopefully it’s one of the permanent art works.
I was very surprised this compound has not been reviewed yet. I saw an Art Basel event advertisement and I asked one of the girls at Panther Coffee about the location. She recommended to check it out and so glad we took the advice. The property is huge (over 30,000 square feet) and I later learned that it is often used for various special events. The property is reminiscent of the Wynwood Walls property in that it too has an open space with plenty of huge canvas’ to paint, except this one has way more paved area and larger buildings to improve. Wynwood Walls does have more charm (as it is very clean, has grassy areas and is associated with the eateries attached); while Kohn Compound lacks that cleanliness and seems a bit disorganized. Some of the walls have been dedicated as permanent fixtures but I wasn’t able to figure out which those were. To be honest, a few pieces should be painted over as they aren’t the most impressive works.
During Art Basel they were a «satellite event host» with 20 musical acts and DJs and continuously painting new murals (as noted on their banner advertisement) and tagged the event as «A Fusion of Art & Music». I was there and there was plenty of murals being worked on and a couple of vendors in large walk-​in tractor trailers (like a mobile retail clothing store). There were a couple of food vendors (one cart vendor and one food truck) and there was a make-​shift small stage set-​up but what was lacking was me wondering where was the music that was advertised. If the musical acts and DJs are only performing at a specific time then the advertisement should reflect that (the advertisement said noon to 11pm but nada.
ABOUT THE KOHN COMPOUND (as quoted from the Kohn Commercial Real Estate website)
«As an unparalleled street-​level art complex and event space located in the heart of Wynwood’s Arts and Café District, the Kohn Compound hosts one of Art Basel Miami’s premier Events. Josh Kohn created the Kohn Compound to act as a creative outlet for fast-​rising local artists to work in tandem with world-​renowned artists to feature mural and sculptural masterpieces that use large open-​air walls as their artistic canvas. What would otherwise be plain white walls now offers artists a creative platform to openly express their inner inspirations as works of art for all to enjoy! The Kohn Compound’s featured artists can be viewed over 30,000 sq. ft., making the Kohn Compound the „World’s largest street level mural installation“ as described by Juxtapoz magazine.»
Overall I was impressed by the works of art here but unimpressed by the lack of art basel participation.
