Art Basel Miami Beach 2014 is in full swing, and one fair that we typically keep our eyes on is SCOPE. This year, SCOPE asked Swizz Beatz, who is a known art connoisseur (and the originator of the #artlife hashtag), to curate an exhibition for them. The result is a mix of work spread throughout the fair, signaled by a black wall, a TV screen, and a man wearing sunglasses next to the piece. On the TV screens, Swizz talks to viewers about why he chose these artists for the project he's calling "The Dean Collection," and the attendants nearby are there to answer additional questions about the work, as well. 

Browse all of the pieces Swizz curated for SCOPE below and read our interview with him, where he discusses starting his own gallery and being compared to Basquiat.
