Alexis Hubshman: It was the early 90s, and I had recently graduated from Bard College after spending a year studying architecture at the Glasgow School of Art. Amanda Lauren: Can you tell me more about how Scope has evolved since its inception? Alexis Hubshman: Our first iteration, a year before Scope Miami, took place at the Gershwin Hotel. With over 87 shows presented in Switzerland, Los Angeles, London, New York, Miami, Pampelone, and the first art fair in the Hamptons, Scope has remained true to its mandate: a unique platform for all participants, galleries, sponsors, and partners to think out of the box and flex creatively in a way they couldn't elsewhere.
