As the newest addition to Miami Art Week 2018, The Urban Art Fair brings street artists on the bleeding edge of urban art to Miami Beach in a pop-up gallery space on South Beach. Making its Miami debut at Urban Art Fair is, The Private Jet Experience by Matty (The Most Famous Artist) Mo's new company, SelfieCircus.

"Probably the most Instagram-ready piece of interactive art made for the self(ie)-obsessed generation, 'The Private Jet Experience' is a full-sized reproduction of part of the interior of a Gulfstream G3 private jet," show partner and producer, Olivia Ormos said. "It allows guests to take a selfie and show their social media friends their life as a fantasy. And, it's exciting that the Urban Art Fair gets to be part of that, by way of such a unique and interactive experience."

SelfieCircus creates modular experiences meant to travel the globe, entertain people in physical spaces, and be shared online. The Private Jet Experience installation will travel across country from L.A. and be reconstructed on site at the Urban Art Fair, making its art world debut before touring through 30 more cities in 2019. Matty Mo himself will be releasing a Limited Edition Print on December 6, which he'll be signing at the Urban Art Fair.

"It's an honor to be back in Miami and to have been asked to be part of the inaugural Urban Art Fair," Mo said. "With The Private Jet Experience, we are breaking new ground in art and blurring the lines between fact and fantasy. We don't take selfies, we make selfies. It is an artistic process that we all practice. And, that's what we want the people of Miami, and those watching online, to experience."
