Thousands of images of timeless masterpieces were destroyed at the Opening Reception, of The Art of Destruction, during Wynwood’s Second Saturday ArtWalk. But sadly, these were Picasso’s, Warhol’s, Cindy Sherman’s, DaVinci’s, you know, artists from “away”. No one local. We can’t have that. No. No. No.
At “BYOB Night” – Bring Your Own Britto” to destroy, there will be a massacre of local art glitterati from 5 to 7 p.m., when folks such as MoCA director Bonnie Clearwater, art dealer Fredric Snitzer, and local artist Hernan Bas also will get their mugs torn to pieces in the shredder towers.
Don’t get so upset. It’s all in fun. The whole point of the Art of Destruction installation is to have participants make new art from old art. So why not make art by shredding the images of local artists themselves? And while we’re at it, why not the local king makers and collectors too? Certainly they’re not above being made into art. Attendees are invited to bring their own images of Britto – and other artists, art collectors, art writers, and critics to shred.

Reception for the artist: December 2nd, 7-10pm
Locust Projects, 155 NE 38th Street #100, Miami FL 33137
Hours during Art Basel: Tuesday, November 30 – Saturday December 4, 9am-4pm
Locust Projects is pleased to announce Out of the Box, a new initiative that will increase exposure to contemporary art by sponsoring projects in public locations throughout Miami. The program will launch with the Billboard Project in December 2010, for which internationally renowned artist Liam Gillick has be commissioned to produce artwork for billboards and bus shelters surrounding Miami’s Design District and Miami Beach.
Gillick examines how the built world carries traces of social, economic, and political systems through a broad range of disciplines including object-based installations and published texts. Conceived specifically for Miami, La aparente union del cielo y la tierra (The apparent junction of earth and sky), 2010 presents a series of abstracted works in which Gillick invokes the horizon, a space where viewers can reflect and discuss how the built environment structures and patterns everyday lives.
Out of the Box is funded by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation’s Knight Arts Challenge, a $40 million initiative to bring South Florida together through the arts.
2010 marked Locust Projects’ 12-year anniversary. Locust Projects is a not-for-profit exhibition space founded by three Miami artists in 1998 in order to provide contemporary visual artists the freedom to experiment with new ideas and methods without the limitations of conventional exhibition spaces. Artists are encouraged to create site-specific installations as an extension of their representative work, and Locust Projects offers them a vibrant Miami experience to develop their ideas. Locust Projects is committed to offering an approachable and inviting venue for the Miami and international art community to experience the work and meet the artists.
Born in Aylesbury, England in 1964, Liam Gillick studied at Goldsmiths College at the University of London. Gillick’s diverse body of work includes sculpture, installation, photography, video, writing, and numerous public projects. Solo exhibitions include The Wood Way, Whitechapel Gallery, London, 2002; A short text on the possibility of creating an economy of equivalence, Palais de Tokyo, 2005; and the retrospective project Three Perspectives and a short scenario, Witte de With, Rotterdam, Kunsthalle Zürich, and Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, 2008-2010. Gillick was nominated for the Turner Prize in 2002 and the Vincent Award at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam in 2008. Many public commissions and projects include the Home Office in London (2005) and the Dynamica Building in Guadalajara, Mexico (2009). Gillick was selected to represent Germany for the 53rd Venice Biennale in 2009. A major exhibition of his work opened at the Kunst und Ausstellungshalle der Bundesrepublik Deutschland in April 2010. His work is featured in many museum collections including Tate Modern, London; Centre Pompidou, Paris; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York.
Locust Projects’ exhibitions and programming are made possible with the support from: Andy Warhol Foundation; Galt & Skye Mikesell; Hannibal Cox Jr. Foundation; The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation; Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs, the Cultural Affairs Council, the Mayor, and the Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners.

GREG PITTS
www.blackjacksonpollock.com
Born to a single parent family, Greg Pitts started out life at a disadvantage. Growing up without a father figure made life less than ideal. He did not meet his father until the age of 12. As a young teen, he exhibited artistic capabilities, however the lack of understanding and from his family lead to discouragement. He continued to strive to express himself artistically. He purchased his first camera on lay-a-way from a camera store in his hometown of Lima, Ohio.
His artistic eye and fashion sense while a senior in high school lead to him was offered admission to a prestigious fashion design school, but because of stereotypical attitudes, students at school would call him a nerd and at home no one would assist him in the application process, stating that that kind of stuff is for sissies. Discouraged, he graduated without any formal plans. Later, he joined the Army in order to provide for his soon to be born son.
Despite a difficult start in life, he continued to express his artistic side.
Greg Pitts abstract artwork has been compared to that of abstract impressionist artist Jackson Pollock. He was the featured artist of the month for February 2009 with Elements of Art and has been exhibited at Etra Fine Art Gallery and Ornare both in Miami, FL.

More about Mourlot
The Atelier Mourlot, founded in 1852, was a lithographic print shop located in Paris, France.
The Atelier Mourlot became involved in the printing of illustrated books as well as high quality
posters for the French National Museums and major foreign institutions. By 1937, Mourlot had established its reputation as the largest printer of lithographs.
Under his patronage, many major twentieth century artists visited the shop and worked there to create original graphic works of art. The list of artists who worked at the Atelier Mourlot is extensive: Picasso, Matisse, Braque, Miró, Chagall, Léger, Dubuffet, Calder, Le Corbusier and
many more…
Although today the lithographic presses lie dormant and the stones are cold, the history of the
collaboration between Mourlot and these masters lives on the graphic works that remains.

Oscar-nominated actress and singer to perform exclusive set with special guest appearance by Aerosmith’s lead guitarist for Dolphins vs. Bears pre-game concert.
Limited tickets are available to the Dolphins-Bears game on Thursday, November 18th, that includes the pre-game Tailgate concert featuring Juliette Lewis and Joe Perry, on the Land Shark Tailgate Stage at the AT&T Grand Plaza. Fans should visit www.MiamiDolphins.com or call 1-888-FINS-TIX (1-888-346-7849) to purchase tickets.
The Miami Dolphins announced today that Academy Award-nominated Hollywood actress and recording artist, JULIETTE LEWIS, will perform with a special guest appearance by co-founding member, principal co-songwriter, lead guitarist and co-producer of Aerosmith, JOE PERRY, at the Land Shark Tailgate Stage on the AT&T Grand Plaza at Sun Life Stadium on Thursday, November 18th, prior to the Dolphins-Bears game presented by Wachovia. The exclusive pre-game Tailgate concert will begin at 7:00 p.m.
Following the release of two highly acclaimed albums with her band, The Licks, Juliette Lewis released her debut solo album Terra Incognita last fall. Produced by Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, Grammy Award winning leader of Mars Volta, her vocal performances on the album showcase a remarkably dynamic range going from haunting to soulful and roaring. Lewis wrote most of the 11 tracks with long time friend and musician Chris Watson and recorded the album in between both of her and Omar’s tours at the end of 2008. The record was mixed by the legendary Rich Cosey (NIN, Muse, Foo Fighters). After performing a number of songs from her solo album, Juliette will be joined by special guest guitar legend from Aerosmith, Joe Perry, to perform two additional songs together live on-stage.
“I’m looking forward to performing on the Land Shark Tailgate Stage for South Florida’s biggest party,†said Lewis. “Over the years, I’ve traveled around the country and overseas to perform at numerous concert venues and clubs, but rarely do I get to perform for such a major sporting event in front of an audience with such a passion for their home team. I’ve always been a big sports fan, so I’m looking forward to performing at Sun Life Stadium and seeing the Miami Dolphins in action.â€
After spending six years focusing on her music, Juliette Lewis recently made her return to the screen in four major film projects. She is currently receiving rave reviews from critics and audiences alike in “Conviction,†in which she appears alongside Hilary Swank and Sam Rockwell. She also co-stars in director Todd Phillips’ new film, “Due Date,†out this month, with Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis. Most recently Lewis appeared in “Whip It,†co-starring Ellen Page, Kristen Wiig and Jimmy Fallon, and “The Switch†with Jennifer Aniston and Jason Bateman.
Having previously attracted artists such as Jimmy Buffett, Carmit Bachar of the Pussycat Dolls, Latin Grammy Award-winning artists Jesse & Joy for Hispanic Heritage Month 2009, American Idol winner, Kris Allen, Michael Jackson’s lead guitarist, Orianthi, 2009 CMA Musician of the Year, Mac McAnally, multi-platinum artists Cheap Trick, Texan rocker, Alejandro Escovedo, legendary rock icon, Bret Michaels, The Darling Stilettos with Matt Sorum and Dave Navarro and Ilo Ferreira with Grammy Award-winning R&B legend Howard Hewett, the Land Shark Tailgate Stage on the AT&T Grand Plaza at Sun Life Stadium has become a much anticipated part of the Dolphins’ home-game experience.
The home game entertainment at Sun Life Stadium is produced by Game Day Entertainment LLC, by executive producer David Saltz.

Winter Music Conference 3/8-12/11
Winter Music Conference
March 8 – 12, 2011
Miami Beach Convention Center
Miami Beach, FL
Winter Music Conference Announces 2011 Dates
Winter Music Conference’s 26th annual program will take place March 8 – 12, 2011 at the Miami Beach Convention Center and other venues throughout Miami Beach and the greater Miami area. Last year WMC attracted 3,763 registered music industry participants from 70 countries and over 100,000 event participants who took part in five non-stop concentrated days of seminars, workshops, exhibits and performances.
Over its 26-year history WMC has become known by industry insiders, audiophiles and fans alike as the pre-eminent date for merchandisers and manufacturers launching new music, technology and trends in the music business. According to Billboard Magazine’s April 3, 2010 issue, “WMC demonstrates (that) dance music retains a powerful allure among brands looking to connect with young, engaged consumers.â€
During WMC, more than 500 annual industry gatherings and performance events boast one of the most sought after aggregations of legendary and emerging artists to be found in the world. WMC’s drawing power for assembling innovative music professionals and launching effective global campaigns is demonstrated year after year with career-launching performances and new releases by artists that have historically included Lady Gaga (WMC 2008), Rihanna (WMC 2006), the Black Eyed Peas (WMC 2009) and featured appearances in 2010 by artists like Deadmau5 and Grammy winner David Guetta, amongst hundreds of others. Of his appearance during WMC 2010, The Black Eyed Peas’ Will.I.Am told MTV News “I think it’s important to come out to WMC to test out the new beats you’ve been making — rockin’ the crowds, learning from the crowdsâ€.
For 2011 WMC will continue to roll out new initiatives as part of its development plan bolstering the ‘WMC Experience’. Unlike previous events the conference has hosted at hotels such as the Fontainebleau and most recently the Eden Roc, this year will offer nearly unlimited opportunities for expansion and growth with its move to the Miami Beach Convention Center in the midst of South Beach. Organizers say “for many years WMC has been challenged to configure its rapidly developing program into limited meeting space.†This year we are able to offer the best of all worlds – enormous room for expansion of the industry program at one of the best locations in South Beach with easy access to the top venues, restaurants and beaches. We are also able to offer our delegates a diverse range of official WMC hotels from the historically luxurious Raleigh and Albion hotels to the plush new Grand Beach Hotel to the business-budget-minded South Beach Courtyard. Virtually every class of service, location and amenity at a price point to fit any budget are offered. WMC is widely known as one of the highest hotel occupancy generating events of the year in the South Florida area – so book your hotel stay early.
Currently the WMC industry badge is being offered at a promotional Early Registration rate of $275 (over 40% off the walk up rate) until November 30th, which includes access to all official WMC events across the conference dates. Marketing opportunities are currently discounted by 30% through December 10, 2010.

In 1998, Nikki Beach introduced the world to the ultimate beach club concept bringing dining, fashion, art, music and entertainment together. As quoted by the London Observer as “The Sexiest Place on Earthâ€, over a decade later, Nikki Beach continues to make its mark in the world’s hottest addresses and trendsetting locales, recently claiming the #1 spot in Travel Channel’s World’s Sexiest Beach Bars. The Nikki Beach concept has transcended its international venues and grown into a global lifestyle company with a seasonal clothing line; a sun care and fragrance line; Marketing and Public Relations Divisions; Global Sponsorships and Special Events; Nikki Beach Music; Nikki Beach Beauty; a VIP and Concierge program; and a Hotel and Resorts Division with 10 new locations to open starting in 2012.
KEVA by Keva J was launched in 2005 in Miami by the then recent college graduate Keva Johnson. Driven by the essential idea of aesthetically pleasing but functional garments her designs feature cutting-edge swimwear and cover ups. With the focus on taking the fashion world by storm, the company relocated to the nation’s fashion capital – New York City. Since then, the unique designs have graced the pages of high fashion magazines such as Elle, Lucky, Zink and California Apparel News, just to name a few. Catching the eyes of BET producers, KEVA by Keva J was a featured designer on the 2010 edition of BET’s Rip the Runway. This was followed by one of the designs being worn by none other than hip hop princess Nicki Minaj in her debut music video “Massive Attack.†The designs have taken on trend-setter status by being acknowledged by celebrity socialites Kim and Kourtney Kardashian and being featured in the promotional advertisement for E Network’s Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami. Having earned the title “Bikini Guru†by Ellegirl.com, KEVA by Keva J recently launched its 3rd line “Pretty in Pinkâ€, which was a tribute to the fashion icon Barbie, during Miami Swim Week. This line has received rave reviews and will definitely be the “must have†swimsuits for summer 2011!

All nine artists – who have different career backgrounds – represent a variety of nationalities from the Americas, Europe and the Middle East. Nevertheless, their wide-ranging work shares common themes that depict human figure, still life and nature achieved with an impeccable technique that creates works full of color and dynamism which ultimately symbolize the celebration of life. Carlos Augusto Pereira, art instructor and mentor, has through his teachings and guidance played a fundamental role in the stability and evolution of the group.
On Thursday November 18th, from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m., ART 9 will open its studio doors to the public to present an attractive selection of the artists’ paintings in an evening hosted by its members who will be available to introduce and discuss their exhibits. The event will include the curatorial participation of Mariavelia Savino, a renowned international art curator. The community is invited to attend this free and exciting event during which complimentary refreshments will be served.

The FREE concert will feature the renowned talent of the Nicole Henry Ensemble, Felipe Lamoglia’s New Directions in Afro-Cuban Beats and Silvano Monasterios and the Fourth World Ensemble, provided by KCC Productions.
Named 2004’s “Best New Artist” by HMV/Japan Jazz Awards, Nicole Henry delivers a beautiful and distinctive voice, mesmerizing audiences and leaving them wanting more. She has a gentle, powerful voice that aims for the emotional center, Nicole has amassed international acclaim, traveling the world bringing her beautiful voice and joie de vivre to thousands of lucky listeners. She has performed at jazz festivals and at such renowned venues as the Rainbow Room with the Cab Calloway Orchestra, Lincoln Center with the Juilliard Jazz Octet and more. Nicole’s range made her a logical choice to sing the National at the American Airlines Arena for the NBA, the FedEx Orange Bowl, and the Sony-Ericsson tennis tournament. She has been named by the Miami New Times as Miami’s “Best Local Solo Musician†and “Best Local Jazz Artist.†She has recorded three albums: The Nearness of You, Teach me Tonight, and her latest, The Very Thought of You…
Pianist-composer Silvano Monasterios was voted “New Artist of the Year (1998)†at the Hennessy Cognac Jazz Search in New York City. He released his first CD that year, Roads Not Taken, which received outstanding reviews in the U.S. and Latin America. In 2006 Silvano formed The Fourth World Ensemble as a further expression of his musical vision. This group showcases his brilliant compositions played by a team of highly inventive players, including the acclaimed Troy Roberts on saxophone. Last summer, they released his latest CD, Fostered, which features all original compositions, including “Avilaâ€, which won DownBeat Magazine’s “College Original Song Outstanding Performance†award (2005), the same year he also won their “Best Jazz Instrumental Soloist Awardâ€. Silvano also composed, performed & co-produced two songs, including the title track, of the 2008 GRAMMY-nominated album The Magician by Sammy Figueroa & His Latin Jazz Explosion. This wonderful CD has been nominated as “Best Latin Jazz Album of the Year”. In 2009 Miami New Times named Silvano “Best Jazz Musician in Miamiâ€.
Felipe Lamoglia is a saxophonist, composer, and arranger, born in Holguin, Cuba. After moving to the United States in 1999, he started playing locally with great artists such as the late Celia Cruz, and also began performing regularly with GRAMMY Award-winner Arturo Sandoval in 2001. He has performed all over the world and participated in some of the most important Jazz festivals in America and Europe where he shared the stage with Herbie Hancock, Michael Brecker, Wynton Marsalis, Eldar, Marcus Miller and others. In 2006 he arranged and played on Ignacio Berroa’s new album Codes, also released by Blue Note Records and nominated for a GRAMMY. Recently Felipe worked as a producer in Arturo Sandoval’s album Rumba Palace, contributing arrangements and compositions, which won a GRAMMY in 2008. By the end of 2007 his first solo album, Dimensions, was released. This project incorporates his Afro-Cuban roots with strong influences of Jazz and Brazilian music. Says Felipe: “I really hope that everyone who in one way or another has followed and supported my music through all these years can enjoy this album and receive my sincere thanks through all my music.”
KCC Productions specializes in providing clients with highly talented, quality jazz artists for concerts, private parties, corporate and special events, festivals, trade shows and fund-raisers. After partnering with highly respected music professional Rafael Solano in 2009, KCC Productions has been bringing the Jazz culture back into South Florida with an array of artists.

Ecco Lounge Earns A Few New Fans!
Ecco Lounge
168 SE 1st St # 1A-2, Upstairs
Miami, FL
Website.
By Talmage Thornhill
There’s a new night life venue on the Miami scene, and it made quite an impression on this young woman.
Enter the venue from a downtown Miami street where a bouncer shows you through a small lobby and to a large stairway leading up and into the night’s adventure. Scope the room and note Ecco Lounge is small, though not cramped and feels quite comfortable. The drinks are strong and almost cheap by this sobe girl’s standards. The bartenders and other staff do their job competently and with a smile. On the night of my visit, the music was outstanding so props to the events staff for booking awesome electronic music talents Kate Simko and local Sebastian Cariaga.
The set up of the room lends itself to drinking, dancing and relaxing. The DJ booth is slightly raised and in front of a window facing the dance area and bar behind it. To one side are couches if you prefer to relax and on the other is what I like to call the Washroom VIP. Yes, technically it is just a bathroom, but it’s freakin great! Lovely decor, quite clean, ample stalls, sinks, and supplies, and an adorable seating area. Guys, don’t get suspicious about your girl’s party habits if she lingers too long in the ladies’ room. She’s probably just chatting up her friends in a quiet environment.
My only disappointment is that smoking is allowed inside, but such is the status quo in Florida so my gripe would probably be more useful were it correctly directed to our fair state’s public health department, but I digress.
I hope Ecco Lounge continues to book DJs and plan unique events, because it is quite possibly perfect for my current after dark desires. Volume, lighting, staff, drinks, and even temperature were all on point. Now when was the last time you could say that about a night life venue?

Beats & Compas, hip-hop-Flamenco, is the production of Paco and Celia Fonta, (www.siempreflamenco.com). For this project they’re collaborating with choreographer, Charles Williams, songwriter / vocalist, Derin Young (dei 7 free range music www.nonradiomusic.com) and Grammy Nominated pop and house music Producer and DJ, Richie Jones, to weave, blur and blend an intricate performance of classic flamenco and modern hip-hop street — to the same beats and compas.
Compas is the traditional beat of flamenco and its defining feature. Beats are at the heart of hip-hop culture, and dance is the common experience to both cultures. Hip-hop dancer, Charles Williams, and flamenco dancer, Celia Fonta, unite their creative energies and delve into unknown territory. Williams will confront the flamenco compas and dance to its rhythms and melodies, while Fonta will look for inspiration in modern hip-hop beats. Music for the performance is composed by flamenco singer and guitarist, Paco Fonta, and songwriter / vocalist, Derin Young of dei 7. Beats by Producer and DJ, Richie Jones, accompaniment by percussionist, Romulo Bernal and bassist, Daniel Stable.
Beats & Compas, hip-hop Flamenco, will revolutionize the way you experience either of these musical genres.

Crafting their groove-heavy sonic bouillabaisse from a range of both like and disparate influences, the South Florida-based outfit, Cypress, does what it sets out do, night after night—wet the appetite of its steadily-growing fanbase. With high-quality, “roots-based†songmanship as their vehicle, the collective compose poignant homegrown tunes, steeped in real life experiences, which echo from deep within the soul of this eclectic, uniquely-talented band of singer-songwriters. www.wearecypress.com
Four years into playing the South Florida reggae circuit, The Resolvers have begun evolving on every front. Adding a full horn section and multiple female harmonizers, the new 11-piece outfit captures the essence of the classic big-band reggae sound: natural acoustic percussion, deep bass grooves, worldly drum rhythms, tasty vintage keyboards and bluesy guitar licks accented by timely horn blasts, all while being blended with modern song craftsmanship to create their own familiar yet original take on world music. The Resolvers are rooted by a core of five dedicated musicians including Dean Fishback (veteran keyboardist who has played with Inner Circle, Sugar Minot and Mikey Dread) and front man Ojay Smith (son of Jamaican legend Ernie Smith). The Resolvers believe music is a basic human right; much like shelter, food and water, it should be available to all so several tracks are available for free on their website. www.theresolvers.com

If ever there was a band to come out of the gate swinging, it is the Short Straw Pickers. Whereas most bands have their debut in a bar or at a party with 15-20 of their friends, the Pickers had their unforgettable first performance at the 200+ seat concert hall at Lynn University to a packed house. Jack has fronted the very popular local band Cypress for the past 3 years, developing a loyal following and a solid reputation as a gifted songwriter; Corey shares leadership roles in South Florida’s premiere Dead tribute band Crazy Fingers; Carl has played with numerous projects and is highly regarded in South Florida as one of the best fiddle players to grace the area. When these guys got together, backed by the solid young rhythm section of Jeff on bass and Joel on drums (both on scholarship at Lynn University), the magic was obvious. Micah filled out the final aspect of the sound on Dobro and Banjo, giving the pickers a sound that is at once familiar, yet unique and original. They come to every show in shirt and tie, with professional attitudes, and great respect for the craft, for fellow musicians, and with a thirst for making music for as many people as they can get in front of. www.theshortstrawpickers.com

Aquaphonics is a uniquely funky electro-soul indie band that is quickly gaining steam in their native South Florida.

Be a part of history when London and Miami officially swap nights! London’s nightlife scene explodes onto the Wynwood Arts District for one night only, so make sure you’re there!
Today, SMIRNOFF announces that on November 27, 2010, Miami will receive the best of London’s nightlife culture as part of The Smirnoff Nightlife Exchange Project – a one-of-a-kind global experience in which 14 countries pair up to exchange crates containing the best of each country’s nightlife. In turn, London will receive the best of Miami’s homegrown nightlife.
Continuing on a mission to inspire and enable unique experiences, the Smirnoff Nightlife Exchange Project has uncovered the best of global nightlife, and will now celebrate the outcome when two very different cultures collide to create something extraordinary. A community of more than 125,000 people from across the country submitted suggestions for what best characterizes nightlife in the U.S – from fashion trends and musical styles to locally inspired cocktails – via Facebook (www.facebook.com/ smirnoffus). Once all of the suggestions were in, DJ Irie, the U.S. curator and Miami Nightlife expert, selected the ones that best represented Miami’s vibrant and varied nightlife. These ingredients will now be packed into a crate for London to experience when the world swaps nights in an epic finale on November 27th.
It can now be revealed that London can look forward to experiencing a full-on Miami experience,, including a headline performance by Pharrell. The event will bring to life a Miami super club where attendees will have the chance to sip cocktails in a luxury bed bar, dance on the beach and experience laser shows, carnival entertainment and Havana bars that will take their breath away.
“I’m incredibly excited to see the best of Miami’s nightlife come alive for the people of London to enjoy responsibly. After some extraordinary suggestions on what makes the U.S. and Miami’s nightlife truly unique, the event on November 27th promises to be a one-of-a-kind experience. London, get ready,†said DJ Irie.
What can we expect to land in Miami? Having conducted a similar search for the best of their nightlife, rallying ideas from the public on best-loved music, favorite cocktails and upcoming local talent, London’s nightlife will be taking over downtown Miami on November 27th. Fans can expect to sample a taste of London via hot global DJ’s inside, an urban festival meets cool Britannia feel outside, and a unique British twist on the classic Smirnoff Mule cocktail.
To further involve the global community SMIRNOFF has created a new collaborative music platform Beat of the World, launching soon – involved and help create an exclusive track that will be played at the finale events on November 27th 2010. to allow people from the 14 participating countries to get
Available free online on Smirnoff’s YouTube channel (http://www.youtube.com/smirnoff), the Beat of the World application enables fans to create their own music videos and share with friends with no formal musical or editing skills required. All of the user submissions from around the world will be collected together and excerpts will be used to create the global track – remixed to the melody of ’Thunderbird’ by The Golden Filter– which will be showcased at each of the 14 events on November 27th.

November 13th – December 21, 2010
Fredric Snitzer Gallery is pleased to announce Jon Pylypchuk’s solo exhibition, Old Drunk Paintings and Other Works of Fine Art, from November 13th to December 21, 2010.
An Opening reception for the artist will be on Saturday, November 13th, 7-10 pm.
Jon Pylypchuk explores social themes such as violence, illness, poverty, and loss. Working with low-cost and found materials such as fake fur, wood, scrap metal, electric lightbulbs …and polyurethane foam, Pylypchuk reinterprets the collage and bricolage practices derived from Art Brut, with winks to Disney and Goya.
Pylypchuk has long made a world of anthropomorphized animals stuffed and suffering a multitude of mishaps. These unfortunate beasts reveal stories of dispossession and neglect, exhibiting a world-weariness that is somewhat comical. Pylypchuk’s audiences are outsiders in the realms he fabricates, excluded from the secrets kept and the games played, yet privy to the way in which these created worlds reflect their own, however brutish and disturbing this reflection may be.
“One of the most enjoyable and unsettling aspects of walking through this exhibit is experiencing the alienation effect triggered by the scale of each work. The pieces are hung from floor to ceiling, towering above or meeting the viewer at eye level. They impose their presence upon the gallery space, diminishing those who stand in their midst by violently returning their gaze.” Megan Stewart, Montreal Arts Uncovered
Born in Winnipeg, Canada in 1972, Pylypchuk lives and works in Los Angeles. He studied at the University of Manitoba School of Art, where he co-founded the collective known as the Royal Art Lodge in 1996. Two years later, he moved to Los Angeles, receiving his MFA from UCLA in 2001. Capturing international attention, Pylypchuk’s work has been exhibited extensively in the United States, Europe and Asia. At present, Pylypchuk is in a solo exhibition at the Musee d’art contemporain de Montreal until January 4, 2011.
Pylypchuk’s work is in the collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; the Museum of Modern Art, New York and the Whitney Museum of American Art.

In his own words:
With that you’re probably wondering, “What the heck is N!?”, or possibly, “Who is this N! person?”.
You see, some folks believe I am a graffiti artist or a stencil artist because of the tools and techniques I employ, but graffiti is a pretty vague term and stencils are simply mark-making tools. Granted, I’ll admit to creating quite a bit of stencil graffiti in my time on the planet but that’s only a small part of the picture. Somewhere in the process I became more interested in using the tools of the trade (spray paint, caps, stencils, attitude) to make something more visually pleasing.”So it’s pop art?” Well, I do veil my subversive tendencies in the veneer of tiki imagery and thereby gain the ability to comment on it. And it’s certainly as pretty as it is confrontational, but it’s basically an exercise in culture jamming and as such is social commentary.
I can take any image or symbol (or symbolic image for that matter), re-contextualize it, and ultimately liberate it. By ingesting the wash of pop cultural debris and regurgitating it back to the masses I’m able to point out the humor in it, address it’s shortcomings, or simply allow the viewer to reflect on their own relationship with it.
I defy common perceptions of what spray paint is “supposed” to look like and have a loads of fun playing with the results. Quite frankly, I like things that way. I simply refer to it as “urban folk art” and I really hope you enjoy it.

Enrique MartÃnez Celaya: Selected Work / Obra Selecta 1992-2010
Gary Nader fine art
62 NE 27th Street, Miami, Florida 33137
Saturday, November 13th, 7:00pm-9:00pm (PREVIEW)
Gary Nader fine art is pleased to announce its upcoming exhibition, Enrique MartÃnez Celaya: Selected Work/Obra Selecta 1992-2010, a broad survey of work by Cuban-born artist, Enrique MartÃnez Celaya, dating from the 1990s to the present day. Unique to a gallery setting in its comprehensive range of work, the exhibition will offer a rich and chronological compendium of significant paintings, sculptures, and drawings from all of his major projects.
MartÃnez Celaya’s works in a space of mystery where literature, philosophy, religion and art inform his search for meaning and his explorations of memory and the human condition. His paintings, sculptures, photographs and works on paper, as well as his ambitious installations at venues such as the Berlin Philharmonic, engage with personal life experience and delve into a territory where longing and austerity coalesce.
Enrique MartÃnez Celaya (b. Cuba 1964) began his art training as an apprentice to an academic painter. He studied Applied Physics at Cornell University and pursued a Ph.D. in Quantum Electronics at the University of California, Berkeley. He left the doctoral program at Berkeley to make art, receiving a Master of Fine Arts from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 1994. MartÃnez Celaya’s studio and imprint in Miami, Whale & Star, functions as a contemplative and educational environment concerned with the role art has in life, spirit and community. He has exhibited at major institutions such as the Miami Art Museum, Florida, and his artwork is in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, among others. He has also exhibited widely in America and Europe.

Born in 1948 and now in his third decade as a professional performing artist, E continues to nurture his passion for the Blues. Growing up in New York, he discovered his purpose at the age of 13, when he was drawn to the sounds of Acoustic Blues, and got his first harmonica when he discovered Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee. In the 70s, 80s and 90s, he developed his singer/songwriting talents, as well as an aptitude for playing other instruments beautifully… His specialty was the blues harp. He established himself as a ground-breaking harmonica player, and became a percussionist with Hodges, James and Smith (back in the early 70s) as well as a studio musician with Bolic Sound Studios, playing behind Ike and Tina Turner. He also played percussions on Sussex Records with Bobbi Hall behind Bill Withers in 1971 through 1974. In the 80s, he moved to Chicago where he played with the likes of John Prine, Jo Mapes, and Joseph Jarman.
While family and other commitments would interrupt his career, E always returned to his roots in blues, and 2000 saw the release of his second album, “The First Time Out”, an extraordinary recording that was an eclectic mix of ten original compositions comprising Blues, R&B, Jazz, Delta and Gospel. In 2002, E hit his stride, adding his exceptional harmonica skills and powerful vocals to the mix. He delivers charismatic, compelling, and passionate performances that are charged with emotion and filled with his authentic signature style. Always experimenting with new sounds, he sometimes makes bold, daring renditions of obscure tunes of legendary icons such as Robert Johnson, Howlin’ Wolf, Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker, adding his unique spin to them.
2006 was a creative year for E, what with three albums released and building his own record label, Black Owl Music. While his albums showcase the sensual range of his vocals and the use of his voice as an incredibly multi-faceted instrument, it is his haunting harp signature style that captivates and inspires his audience. “Mississippi Reminiscence” is the most personal of his work, and “Five Long Years: A Tribute To Carey Bell” has been hailed as sheer unadulterated blues.

Mushy Widmaier, is a prodigy of Haitian music, born and raised in Port-au Prince. He was completely mesmerized by the black and white suite, the array of tones, timbre’s and notes of the piano during his childhood. It was to become his favorite instrument, and he learned it well.
He is now considered one of the top 10 piano players in the Caribbean, one of its most exceptional masters. The 80’s brought recognition to Mushy and his brother Joel for having infected the Haitian music scene with a highly innovative style known today as the “The School of the New Generationâ€. Their group, Zekle, became synonymous with a modern jazz sound which includes soft oxygen-like singing, strong melodies, energetic arrangement, meaningful lyrics, keyboard pads and strings elements placed beneath the rhythm section. Mushy also has 150 plus commercial jingles and advertising spots to his credit.
His music has been used to promote the wares of fortune 500 companies such as Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Prestige Beer and the major banks in Haiti. Mushy Widmaier is a true scholar, and the very definition of a Renaissance musician. His evolution has led him to the following conclusion;
“Haitian Music is song, classical, roots, dance, contemporary, traditional, jazz and all musical genres originated from the Haitian soul. This variety constitutes the opera of our history.†Mushy

Saturday, November 20 at 8:00 pm at the Wold Performing Arts Center at Lynn University in Boca Raton
Sunday, November 21 at 4:00 pm at First Presbyterian Church of Pompano Beach.
Franz Josef Haydn’s The Creation is considered by many to be the composer’s masterpiece. South Florida audiences will have an opportunity to hear this glorious oratorio in three performances by the Master Chorale of South Florida, accompanied by The Miami Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Joshua Habermann.
The concerts will take place on Friday, November 19, at 8:00 pm at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in Miami; Saturday, November 20 at 8:00 pm at the Wold Performing Arts Center at Lynn University in Boca Raton; and Sunday, November 21 at 4:00 pm at First Presbyterian Church of Pompano Beach.

The Creation, written and sung in English, celebrates the creation of the world as described in the Book of Genesis. It was written for four-part chorus and large classical orchestra with soprano, tenor and bass soloists in the role of angels, as well as an incidental alto solo in the finale.
The orchestra often plays alone, notably in the episodes of “tone-painting”: the appearance of the sun, the creation of various beasts, and above all in the overture, the famous depiction of the Chaos before the creation.

Zero Emissions; Zero Noise; Zero Pollution
Go Green! Just plug it in, and charge it!
Commissioner Marc Sarnoff to Host Event at City Hall to Put the Spotlight on “Green†Electric Vehicles: Saturday, November 13
Public Invited To Test-Ride Electric Bicycles and Motorcycles
FREE TEST RIDES: Anyone age 18 or over may take a test-ride on one of the many electric bicycles or motorcycles on display. Some motorcycle models will require a valid driver’s license. Zero Emissions; Zero Noise; Zero Pollution
Refreshments will be served, and we encourage those who want to learn more about electric transportation to come out and have a ride.
In conjunction with the City of Miami’s ongoing programs to encourage businesses and residents to “go green.â€
Wildly popular in Europe and Asia, electric transportation is finally taking hold in the U.S. No longer limited to two-wheeled electric bicycles, the choices now include scooters, tricycles, folding bikes, remote-controlled skateboards and even motorcycles.
About Electric Bicycles:
§ Just plug it in and charge it! An electric bicycle has an electric helper motor powered by a rechargeable battery and a method of control to offer either totally motorized cycling or a mix of pedal and motor power, known as pedal-assist
§ Eco-Friendly, emitting zero carbon emissions and virtually noiseless. It’s the perfect solution for alternative commuting.
§ Commute for miles without breaking a sweat – Ride as if the wind is always at your back
§ Health Benefits – For baby boomers who experience joint pain – especially in the knees – the “pedal-assist†of electric bicycles ease the discomfort and provide the benefits of exercise, without the pain.
§ No driver’s license, no vehicle registration required, no gas, no sweat!
For those who seek the thrill of a motorcycle, the Zero provides a practical, fun and environmentally-friendly alternative – without the pollution, without the noise, without the carbon emissions.
The Zero motorcycle will produce less than 1/8 of the CO2 pollution per mile as a gas powered motorcycle. It also will produce 1/100th of smog causing nitrous oxides. With a range of 60 miles per charge, it costs about one cent per mile to operate; the gas equivalent of 455 miles per gallon.

The Base Paint Tents exhibited at FIU during various events to commemorate the anniversary of the earthquake in Haiti
Monday, January 10 – Saturday, January 15, 2011
FIU’s Modesto A. Maidique Campus
The Base Paint Tents is a project of ten tents being transformed into ten works of art by artists from around the world. The tents will ultimately function as multi-purpose classrooms in earthquake-ravaged Haiti for the children of Atlet Peyi Dayiti in Port-au-Prince. At almost a year after the devastating earthquake, this exhibition is a call for attention to the reality of a country that tries to carry on with life as usual, still amid ruins and tent towns.
There are important interview, coverage, and photo opportunities around the corner that may interest you for any stories you’re working on for the week of Art Basel:
The painting of the tents is currently taking place at Iron Side, a multi-purpose warehouse in Little Haiti (in Miami’s newly named Industrial Business District) located at 7600 Northeast 4th Court, Miami, FL 33138.
· Antuan, Artistic Director & Curator of The Base Paint Tents (www.antuanstudio.com)
· Paulina Montes, Executive Director of Fundación Manos Del Sur (www.manosdelsur.org)
· Iliana Levy, Program & Outreach Director of Step by Step Foundation (www.stepbystepfoundation.com)
The tents will ultimately function as multi-purpose classrooms in earthquake-ravaged Haiti on the property of a foundation called L’Athletique d’Haiti. They will function as shelters where more than three hundred children are able to receive education in a positive and safe environment.
The project was conceived as a collaboration of international artists and nonprofit organizations to support the reconstruction of education in Haiti through art. The distinctive elements include creation and exhibition of the tents at a series of locations and then finally setting-up the finished tents in Haiti.
The tents are 20x15x13 feet and were custom made by Armbruster Company, America’s oldest tentmaker. The paint and material for the tents were carefully chosen as they must be able to withstand the extreme weather of Haiti. The tent layout, personally designed by Antuan, is specifically constructed in order to allow for maximum durability, water and wind resistance, paintability, security, and ventilation. The painted exteriors of the tents will brighten the interior of the classrooms when the sun shines through. The tents will dually function as an art installation and iconic representation of educational progress for children in Haiti, as they will be visible flying to and from the international airport.
An international group of artists from across the Caribbean and Latin America have gathered in order to collaborate and create the tents; the artists, using the tents as their canvases will communicate their interpretations and perspectives of Haiti’s political, social, and environmental history.
The twelve international artists come from seven different countries: Haiti, Dominican Republic, Spain, Argentina, Cuba, Puerto Rico and the USA. Their artwork conveys a strong narrative about Haiti’s current challenges and explores different themes, such as the history of Haiti, its economy, folklore, religious beliefs, traditions, ecology, recreation, and the environment. The artists are: Antuan and Elba Luis Lugo, Pedro Barbeito, Jose Bedia, Edouard Duval-Carrie, Jose Garcia Cordero, Nicolas Leiva, Leonel Matheu, Ruben Millares and Antonia Wright, Gean Moreno, and Damian Sarno,.
The project’s art exhibit is also a fundraising event. Guests will have the opportunity to participate in the project by giving donations at different levels of sponsorship. The higher level will sponsor each complete tent and other levels will assist in arranging the tents with school items such as desks, chairs, supplies, and more. For more information please contact Paulina Montes at Paulina.Montes@manosdelsur.org or 305.860.6529.

Karen Peterson and Dancers performing Buoyant Dreams 12/11/10
Karen Peterson and Dancers, a non-profit mixed ability dance troupe, will be performing Buoyant Dreams.
Byron Carlyle Theatre
500 71st Street, in Miami Beach
Dec. 11th at 4 and 8 p.m.
The production was created by four well established female artists, who joined forces to create a two-part performance that will ignite the senses with visual and musical artistry.
Buoyant Dreams, choreographed by Karen Peterson, is danced by able and disabled dancers, who explore how they relate to each other through dance and I Will Catch You is a contemporary dancework, choreographed by Joanne Barrett and performed to live jazz by The Wendy Pedersen Jazz Trio.
Visual artist, Maria Lino and Peterson collaborated to create Buoyant Dreams, which uses projected images of the disabled dancers in and out of water as an interactive backdrop to the mixed-ability performance. The dancers and images mirror each other creating a visually stunning and emotionally charged experience for audience members.
Lino had been working on a series about water for about three years when she approached Peterson about an interdisciplinary collaboration related to buoyancy and freedom of the human body in water.
“I explored and documented the possibilities of buoyancy and movement in water of dancers with physical challenges and how they relate to fully-abled dancers in such environments through video and digital media. I experimented with images of varying scale, angles, details and compositions, interweaving them with the choreography of Karen Peterson, creating a closely knitted performance of both disciplines,†said Lino, who won the Cintas Foundation Award in 1975-76 and 1976-77 .
The other half of the performance, titled I Will Catch You will be danced to live music by The Wendy Pedersen Jazz Trio’s newest work, Boy Meets Girl, and choreographed by Barrett , who has been teaching dance for over 24 years and was acknowledged as best dancer of the year by Time Out London.
Barrett’s works will be performed in an intimate setting reminiscent of a smoky jazz lounge, where the audience is meant to feel as if they are part of the performance. And though most of the performance is choreographed, she has created moments where dancers improvise to scatting by singer, Pedersen, or to one of the trio’s instruments – piano, bass and drums.
One of the pieces in I Will Catch You will be performed with the pianist, who will be in the house, close to the audience.
“I am excited about the collaboration and the opportunity to create feeling and imagery based dance structures and dance outbursts to improvised solos by jazz musicians,†said Barrett, who focuses on connecting with space, energy and emotions through precise sculpted movements.
Proceeds from this event will go to Karen Peterson and Dancers, a non-profit mixed ability dance troupe established in 1990. A graduate of The Boston Conservatory, Peterson has received numerous choreographic fellowship awards from Division of Cultural Affairs, Department of State and the Miami-Dade Department of Cultural Affairs.
The troupe promotes dance as a multi-cultural and inclusive art form and does extensive community and world outreach through workshops, video lecture demonstrations and performances. The troupe has traveled to places, such as, Trebinje, Bosnia , the VSA International Showcase in Washington D.C. and the Ruth Eckerd Murray Hall in Clearwater.
This season marks 21 years since Petersen founded the mixed-ability troupe and she is optimistic about the group’s future and its many possibilities.
“With able-bodied dancers you have a hundred choices. With disabled dancers there are limitations, but it is these limitations that challenge me and inspire the creative solutions that help us evolve each year,†said Peterson.
Peterson will be holding auditions for dancers in the beginning of next year. For more detailed information call 305-298-5879.
There will be two performances of Buoyant Dreams and I Will Catch You at 4 and 8 p.m. Dec. 11 in the Byron Carlyle Theatre, 500 71st St. There will an after party and fundraiser at the The New Hotel, which is walking distance from the theatre. Tickets are $15 – 25. VIP seating and admission to the after party will be available to $25 ticket holders. Tickets are available at 305-298-5879, at the window in the Byron or Colony Theatres or at www.ticketmaster.com or call Ticketmaster at 866-448-7849.

Miami Dade College’s (MDC) Cultura del Lobo Performance Series celebrates its 20th season with some of the foremost artistic voices from the Americas, such as Culture Clash, an ensemble of comedians, playwrights and actors who together create an outrageous brand of “performance collage†using satire, vaudeville, mime, and spoken word to offer a fresh examination of cultures in flux.
Cultura del Lobo will present Culture Clash in AmeriCCA: Real People, Real Stories on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 12 – 13, at 8 p.m. at MDC’s Wolfson Campus Auditorium in downtown. In addition to the performances, the group will be in residence for one week conducting workshops for MDC students.
For more than two decades, Culture Clash has practiced the art of theatrical-social anthropology by digging deep into America’s culture. Richard Montoya, Ric Salinas and Herbert Siguenza create memorable comedic sketches, which are adapted from real interviews with people who live radically diverse lives across the U.S., including Miami, San Diego, San Francisco, and New York. The Los Angeles-based troupe has made its mission to examine the story of America through a particularly Chicano world-view. Each member came up through the traditions of biting social satire, politcally and socially active theatre, and deft physical comedy. In addition, they were influenced by the progressive work of the United Farmworkers Union, led by Cesar Chavez, as well as legendary comedians Lenny Bruce, Charlie Chaplin, Richard Pryor, and the famous Mexican comic Cantinflas. In its early years, Culture Clash focused primarily on the Latino and Chicano experience of the West Coast. Ten years after their founding, the group accepted a commission to return to Miami and create a play based on interviews with local residents from all backgrounds, which became the critically-acclaimed Radio Mambo. That experience sparked what would become their signature theatrical style: community-based plays that used raucous comedy and a gimlet eye to address pressing political and social issues. After their success with Radio Mambo, the group explored more cities, traveling around the country to meet more inhabitants and chronicle their lives, grafting original plays such as Anthems, Nuyorican Stories, Bordertown, and Mission Magic Mystery Tour, among others.
Culture Clash, agrupación participante de la Serie de Presentaciones Escénicas Cultura del Lobo del Miami Dade College, resalta la diversidad en los Estados Unidos
La aclamada Serie de Presentaciones Escénicas Cultura del Lobo del Miami Dade College (MDC) celebra su 20ma temporada con algunas de las principales voces artÃsticas de las Américas, como Culture Clash, una agrupación de comediantes, dramaturgos y actores, que crean una marca distintiva de “collage interpretativo†con sátiras, vodevil, mÃmica y oralidades para ofrecer un examen actual de las culturas en interacción.
Cultura del Lobo presentará Culture Clash in AmeriCCA: Real People, Real Stories, el viernes y sábado 12 y 13 de noviembre, a las 8 p.m. en el Auditorio del Campus Wolfson del MDC, renovado recientemente. Además de sus presentaciones, el ensemble ofrecerá talleres para alumnos del MDC como grupo en residencia.
Durante más de dos décadas, Culture Clash ha puesto en práctica el arte de la antropologÃa teatral-social profundizando en la cultura de los Estados Unidos. Richard Montoya, Ric Salinas y Herbert Sigüenza crean memorables piezas cómicas breves, adaptadas de entrevistas reales con personas que llevan adelante vidas radicalmente diversas en varias ciudades estadounidenses como Miami, San Diego, San Francisco, y Nueva York.
La misión de la troupe radicada en Los Angeles es examinar la historia de los Estados Unidos mediante una visión del mundo particularmente chicana. Cada miembro surgió con las tradiciones de la aguda sátira social, el teatro polÃtica y socialmente activo, y la hábil comedia fÃsica. Además, están permeados por la influencia del trabajo progresista del sindicato United Farmworkers Union, liderado por César Chávez, asà como comediantes legendarios como Lenny Bruce, Charlie Chaplin, Richard Pryor, y el famoso actor mexicano Mario Moreno “Cantinflasâ€.
En sus primeros años de existencia, Culture Clash se enfocó fundamentalmente en la experiencia hispana y chicana de la Costa Oeste. Diez años después de su fundación, el grupo aceptó el encargo de regresar a Miami y crear una obra basada en entrevistas con residentes de la ciudad de todas las procedencias, lo que se convirtió en Radio Mambo, que gozó de la aprobación de público y crÃtica. De esa experiencia surgió lo que se transformarÃa en su estilo teatral distintivo: obras comunitarias que hacen uso de la comedia estridente y de una gran agudeza para tratar acuciantes temas polÃticos y sociales.
Luego de su éxito con Radio Mambo, el grupo exploró otras ciudades en un viaje por todo el paÃs para conocer más habitantes y narrar sus vidas, creando obras originales como Anthems, Nuyorican Stories, Bordertown y Mission Magic Mystery Tour, entre otras.

Accent Alternative Art Space Presents Havana a Capital’s Punishment Reflections 11/20/10
Accent Alternative Art Space Presents: Havana, a Capital’s Punishment Reflections by ten artists on the body and soul of one of the world’s greatest cities.
Opening Reception: Friday, November 12, 2010 from 7 to 10:00 p.m.
Bird Road Art Walk Opening: Saturday, November 20, 2010 from 7 to 10 p.m.
Exhibit Dates: November 12 to December 30, 2010 By appointment.
4841 SW 75th Avenue Miami, Florida 33155
Accentmarketing’s project art space will showcase works by ten artists exploring the cultural mythology inspired by the city of Havana. The exhibit deeply reflects the personal relationship these local artists have to a place that is a spiritual touchstone for the Cuban exile community.
Miami artists Gustavo Acosta, Alejandro Aguilera, Jose Bedia, Esteban Blanco, Arturo Cuenca, Ana Albertina Delgado, Ruben Torres Llorca, Alonso Mateo, Ciro Quintana and Victoria Montoro Zamorano contributed to this extraordinary selection of voices, some quiet and poignant, some with the immediacy of a scream; but all echoing their deeply-seated connection to the capital of their native country.
“Some [artists] lived in Havana until recently; some have not seen the place for fifty years,†said exhibit curator Silvia Dorfsman. “It’s amazing to see the power of these works, like spirits called forth from some collective consciousness.â€
The exhibit includes works on canvas, sculpture, photography and mixed media. Some images document the passing of architectural treasures in heart-rending detail; others couch in metaphors and allegories the human side of Havana. The collection comes together in an eclectic and vulnerable visual tale of a place remembered, not with the mind, but with the heart.
Coral-Gables based Accentmarketing, continues to support its non-profit passion project by contributing the energy and creativity of its talented staff. Each gallery show is a collective effort sponsored by the agency, whose team has demonstrated their commitment to freethinking expression within the community in areas such as painting, graphic design, creative writing and music.
Accent Alternative Art Space continues to showcase all forms of art. Local artists are welcome to become fans of its Facebook page and begin an artistic discussion on Miami’s alternative art scene by posting their art and vision on facebook.com/accentART. Additionally, artists who post their work may qualify to have their pieces featured in the gallery.
A truly motivated group dedicated to the idea that art can transform a community, Accentmarketing is committed to furthering Miami’s artistic culture by giving the heart and soul of the community’s creative scene a chance to make their work known.
Accent Alternative Art Space is located at 4841 SW 75th Avenue Miami, Florida 33155 and is open by appointment.
Accent Alternative Art Space is a not-for-profit art initiative by advertising agency Accentmarketing. This creative piece of real estate launched in 2010 is dedicated to non-commercially driven artwork by emerging and mid-career artists. Essentially, AAAS wants to develop ideas that are outside of the mainstream scope of Miami commercial art galleries while harnessing local talent and culture.

Rafael Soriano: Some Thoughts on His Painting
Presented by Dr. Alejandro Anreus
Reception: 8-10 PM at Lowe Art Museum
Cocktails by Bacardi
$10 Admission; Free for Lowe Members
Cuban-born painter Rafael Soriano is one of the major Latin American artists of his generation. Soriano broke with regional and folkloric themes which once dominated Cuban art in the mid-twenties. Soriano first mastered geometric abstraction as a style in the 1950’s, but by the late 1960’s had defined his signature approach to painting. His work embodies a style best described as ‘Oneiric Luminism’ combining a purely abstract form of light, form space and shadow with an interest in poetic and metaphysical impulses.
Rafael Soriano: Other Worlds Within, a Sixty Year Retrospective will be on view at the University of Miami Lowe Art Museum from January 29 – March 27, 2011. A preview lecture and reception will be held on January 28 from 7-10 pm. The lecture will be given by Dr. Alejandro Anreus.
Born in 1920 in the town of Cidra in the province of Matanzas, Rafael Soriano manifested an early inclination for painting. After completing seven years of study at Havana’s prestigious Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes San Alejandro, he graduated in 1943 as Professor of Painting, Drawing and Sculpture. He then returned to Matanzas where he taught visual arts for close to two decades. He was one of the founders, and later Director, of the Escuela de Bellas Artes de Matanzas, the most important art school in Cuba outside of Havana.
In 1962 Soriano went into exile, settling in Miami with his wife Milagros and his daughter Hortensia. He worked as a graphic designer and occasionally taught, first at the Catholic Welfare Bureau, and later at the Cuban Cultural Program of the University of Miami.
Soriano’s works are included in major public collections, among them: Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes/Havana, Zimmerli Museum/Rutgers U, Denver Art Museum, Archer Huntington Gallery/U of Texas — Austin, Lowe Art Museum/ U of Miami, Museum of Art/Fort Lauderdale, Museum of the Americas/OAS–Washington DC, GalerÃa Arte Moderno/Santo Domingo, Zea Museum of Art/MedellÃn.
The exhibition is organized by the Lowe Art Museum and curated by Jesus Rosado. Sponsorship is provided by MBF Healthcare Partners.
The Lowe Art Museum is located at the University of Miami at 1301 Stanford Drive, Coral Gables. Gallery and Museum Store hours: Tuesday-Saturday: 10-4; Sunday: 12-4; Monday: Closed. Regular Admission (not including special events) is $10; $5 for Seniors and Non-UM Students; Free for Lowe Art Museum Members, University of Miami students, faculty and staff, and children under 12. For more information, call (305) 284-3535 or visit www.lowemuseum.org.
The University of Miami’s mission is to educate and nurture students, to create knowledge, and to provide service to our community and beyond. Committed to excellence and proud of our diversity of our University family, we strive to develop future leaders of our nation and the world. www.miami.edu.

Pauline’s fine art watercolor ‘solo’ show of tropical plants, birds & butterflies
Original artwork, prints & cards for sale – part of the proceeds go to TAS
Artist
Pauline Goldsmith has worked in the global bio-pharmaceutical industry for over thirty-eight years, either in Europe or the United States. She now runs her own Consulting Company, Goldsmith Consulting, in Coconut Grove providing business strategy and project management skills to small to medium-sized companies. She originates from the United Kingdom, but arrived in the United States twenty two years ago and has never looked back since. Her homes have been made in Philadelphia, Boston and Miami. In her move to South Florida she found her spiritual home in the tropics. She is active in many positions in the local community, in theater, visual arts and botanical arenas.. Her love of watercolors and botanical art are now a consuming part of her life.
Artists Statement
“My deep love of South Florida’s lush tropical vegetation has encouraged me to use watercolors to translate their exquisite beauty to paper, so that it can be shared with everyone wherever they may live. In my attempts over the last few years to render the likeness of these plants into a visual art, I have become mesmerized by their subtle transformations in the ever changing tropical lights and water reflections. In botanical art the use of watercolors applied with very small brushes and a dry technique can be challenging and very frustrating, but at the same time the resulting fine details and depth of color are both rewarding and therapeutic.â€

AFH MIAMI 2nd Annual Fundraiser:
Retrosp[ACTIVE] 2.0
Sponsored by 42Below Vodka
Architecture and design in Miami is often associated with luxury, glamour, and glitz , yet for the past two years, a movement to bring sustainable design to the “not so glitzy†areas of the community has emerged through the active volunteerism of Architecture for Humanity – Miami Chapter’s 700+ network of architects and designers. On Friday, November 19, 7-11pm at downtown Miami’s Loft 168, Architecture for Humanity Miami (AFH Miami) will be celebrating the progress of this movement by hosting an extended happy hour sponsored by 42Below Vodka. The event is themed “Retrosp[ACTIVE] 2.0†: a celebration in retrospect of AFH Miami’s engagement with less-advantaged communities locally and beyond through the power of sustainable design.
Guests will have a great start to the weekend at this event, complete with the invoking live sounds of guest DJs Sela Vee and Aramis, a 42Below Vodka OPEN BAR, plus Grolsch beer along with tantalizing appetizers conceptualized by Raaga Cart. All this and more will take place at Loft 168 (above ECCO Pizzateca & Lounge), located in the heart of downtown Miami at 168 SE 1st street.
Entrance to “Retrosp[ACTIVE] 2.0 †includes drinks and food and only $20 with RSVP at AFH Miami’s Retrosp[ACTIVE] event website by November 18th or $25 at the door . All proceeds will benefit Architecture for Humanity Miami’s projects, both located in Miami and Haiti.
Architecture for Humanity and our Miami Chapter
Founded by Cameron Sinclair and Kate Stohr in 1999, Architecture for Humanity (AfH) is a 501(c)(3) charitable international organization that seeks architectural solutions to humanitarian crisis and brings professional design services to communities in need.
By establishing the Miami Chapter of Architecture for Humanity, our partners, who work with under-served communities, are empowered to build a more sustainable future for our Greater Miami. For AfH, sustainability is about more than building “greenâ€. We think about how a building will affect the environment, how it will improve the lives and livelihoods of its occupants and those residing in close proximity, and its impact on future generations, including its vulnerability to disaster.
For more information, please contact Jennifer Siqueira at Jennifer@afhmiami.org.
