CLOSING RECEPTION
Saturday, March 30, 7PM

Free with museum admission

This group exhibition builds on the work: Temporary Autonomous Zones (TAZ) by Hakim Bey (Peter Lamborn Wilson). The project is curated by Richard Haden.

TAZ “alludes to creating temporary spaces that elude formal structures of control…thus creating the foundation for authenticity and spontaneity”. Richard Haden proposes to articulate the exhibition through TAZ and the ways in which it has to do with recreating an “intentional community” (IC) which relates to how past communities purposefully organized in various forms as collectives, to succeed as small villages or townships, guilds, radical groups, et cetera, that eventually gave way to controlling socio-economic structures, which eventually led to the loss of authentic empowerment.

Orchestra Miami invites you to experience the biblical story of Noah and his ark, as it come alive in Benjamin Britten’s Noye’s Fludde, an opera for the whole family. Based on the Chester Miracle Plays, Britten’s piece combines the voices of the students from Orchestra Miami’s Liberty City Sings Performance Project and the African Heritage Cultural Arts Center, with the talents of students from the South Florida Youth Symphony, the Sunrise School of Miami Orchestra and many others performing alongside the professional musicians from Orchestra Miami, to present a pageant of biblical proportions!

Noye’s Fludde features two of Miami’s most esteemed professional opera singers, alongside a cast of students from area public schools. Bass-baritone Lloyd Reshard, Jr. stars as Noye, and soprano Jouvanca Jean-Baptiste dazzles in the comic role of Mrs. Noye. Noye’s sons and wives are sung by Luis Lafaurie, Alejandra Gonzalez, Michael Gil, Ybriana Rodriguez and Amanda Lopez- all 6th graders at the Miami Arts Studio @ Zelda Glazer Middle School and Elysabeth Bengochea, a 5th grader at South Miami Arts Magnet K-8 School. The “Gossips” and the Animals of the Ark will be sung by students from the Liberty City Sings Performance Program and the African Heritage Cultural Arts Center. The production will be directed by renowned theater director Michael Yawney and conducted by Orchestra Miami’s Artistic Director Elaine Rinaldi, with costume design by Marina Pareja and set design by Ainex Carmona. The performance is being presented in association with the Miami Children’s Initiative, the African Heritage Cultural Arts Center with major sponsorship by the Center for Social Change and the State of Florida, Department of State, Division of Cultural Affairs and the Florida Council on Arts and Culture.
The Performances will be held on Saturday, May 30th at 4:00 & 7:00 PM at Miami Northwestern Senior High School, 1100 NW 71 Street, Miami, FL 33150. Advance Purchase Tickets are $20 Adults; $15 Seniors ($25/$20 at the door) and can be purchased through Orchestra Miami’s website at www.orchestramiami.org or by calling Brown Paper Tickets at 1-800-838-3006.

KCC Productions presents Jazz at MOCA featuring Vivian Sessoms

“A Powerhouse” (Quincy Jones)

Vivacious, vibrant, vigorous – all adjectives that describe the voice and performance of Vivian Sessoms. On Friday, April 24, you can experience this for yourself between 8 and 9:30 PM at North Miami’s Museum of Contemporary Art (“MOCA”) in a free performance of her special take on jazz and soul. Vivian, born and raised in Harlem, New York, was born with a love of music instilled in her as the daughter of two prominent musicians and niece of Nacy Wilson. Her mother was a former jingle and session singer, her father, a well-known flautist and percussionist who worked with James Brown and several other well-known musicians throughout his career.

Vivian began classically training her voice at the age of nine, and it wasn’t long before she was so well versed in her craft that she won a scholarship to the highly acclaimed Amas | Eubie Blake Repertory Company headed by the late Rosetta Lenoire. This was where she began training in theatre, dance and music, which eventually led her to a successful run in radio and television voiceovers. In fact, you’ve probably heard her, she was the soothing sound of a soprano in commercials that convinced you to purchase such products as Campbells Soup, Coke, Hershey’s and many more.

As a performer, Vivian has sung with many of the worlds most recognized artists: Stevie Wonder, Chris Botti, Cher, Christina Aguilera, Diddy, P!nk, Chaka Khan, Ke$ha, Rob Thomas, Patti Labelle, Patti Austin, Sinead O’Connor and numerous others. As a writer, Vivian has worked with just as many artists, including Ryuichi Sakamoto, Towa Tei, Lalah Hathaway, Amel Larrieux, Junior Vazquez and David Morales.

In 2007, Vivian and partner Chris Parks released their debut CD entitled “Sunny One Day,” to critical acclaim. Billboard magazine referred to Vivian’s voice as “clear and exquisite”, Uptown magazine called her voice “powerful”, and Urban Network magazine called Sunny One Day “an impressive debut so polished and effortless sounding, it’s as if it bonds to your DNA and defies you to stop playing it”.

Vivian is currently putting the finishing touches on a follow up cd, her first jazz effort, entitled “Heart,” due out this summer.

Backing Vivian will be a stellar trio of Martin Bejerano, piano, Eric England, bass & Rodolfo Zuniga, drums. MOCA is located at 770 NE 125th Street in North Miami. For more information visit mocanomi.org or call 305-893-6211.

During your FREE drop-in consultation, find out more about scalp micro-pigmentation and see if it’s right for you! Come in to speak with a practitioner about the treatment, get price quotes and set up a treatment plan.

About Scalp Micro-Pigmentation (SMP):
SMP was developed as both a cosmetic procedure for men suffering with all types of hair loss, and as a medical procedure to help conceal scars, burns and birthmarks, as well as the full spectrum of alopecia strains. During a SMP procedure, a blend of specialized pigments is deposited into the dermal layer of the skin on the scalp. Using a highly sophisticated combination of angles, penetration depths, deposit sizes and pigment shades, these deposits create an extremely realistic illusion of real shaven hair on the scalp.

About HIS Hair:
HIS Hair Clinic is an internationally recognized, specialist hair loss treatment clinic, with prominent locations in major urban centers around the world. Each clinic complies with (and exceeds) all core professional standards of effective treatments, cleanliness and health and safety. We are always opening new clinics further afield, to enable even greater access to our unique SMP® treatment for hair loss.

Much has been said and reviewed by auto enthusiasts leading to the public in in a frenzy until now. The perfectly timed arrival for the holiday season has made this weekend’s unveiling a “December to Remember”.

“For us at Lexus of North Miami it makes a big difference to actually have the car available for clients to see, touch and feel so, naturally we have a motive for celebration. Everyone has been waiting for the new arrivals and the public response has been so overwhelming, we are having a hard time keeping them in the showroom for the unveiling” – says Yoni Edery GM, Lexus of North Miami

The RC350 is a culmination of styling and performance that is a huge hit with consumers and boasts 306-HP, 3.5-liter V6 with an 8 speed automatic that routes power to the rear wheels wile a 6 speed automatic serves duty with optional all-wheel drive. Those seeking extra power should check out the RC F and test out for themselves just how much G-force they feel.

The introduction of the 2015 NX has a unique appeal that Lexus has wanted to target for some time with the right luxury crossover that will bare its name. The styling aggressively highlights its sharp creases and oversized spindle grille but keeps its luxury with the interiors and its conforming seats. It’s an all new crossover just for the cool kids and an all new 2.0 liter turbo four and six speed standard. The F Sport version boasts a sport-tuned engine with 6 speed transmissions and paddle shifters.

We were happy to partner with Elita Realty as our sponsors and to welcome the new arrivals in a celebration where VIP guests enjoyed drinks by Zacapa Rum and bites by Spuntino Catering. You can find out more about the new models by coming into Lexus of North Miami and taking them for a test drive, visit us at www.lexusofnorthmiami.com or call us at 1.888.653.4160.

Lique Miami-A Refreshing New Waterfront Dining By Betty Alvarez

Photo 1-001

I arrived to this quaint restaurant in North Miami which I have only heard about, Lique. This waterfront dining spot is owned by restauranteurs Peter Cumplido and Alex Podolhy who are also behind Fort Lauderdale’s Sweet Nectar. This soon-to-be hot spot has Executive Chef Renalto Medeiros at the helm and I was about to embark on a never-before breathtaking dining experience in a chilly night but that did not stop me.

When I entered the restaurant I realized that I have been here before when it was Rouge Waterfront Dining where everything was red. But this time around, the restaurant is transformed into what it seems an enchanted garden with luxurious white decor furniture, greenery all over, the contemporary pieces that was all over. The decor is truly spectacularly very fresh and inviting. We sat down to our table to begin our journey.

Our dining experience was by candlelight. A nice touch for a romantic experience if you are dining with a loved one. In my case, I was dining with one of my best friends so that did not happen. LOL! I ordered a nice Pinot Grigio and she ordered a nice fruity tall glass drink that our waiter recommended. I was jealous as her glass was bigger than mine! When we were hended our menu it was unique as it was a wood platform wit the menu attached and the logo of the restaurant on the back. It was great as everything was on one page.

Appetizers and small plates is what we suggested therefore it did not disappoint. First serving was the Truffle Big Eye Tuna Carpaccio. I wanted something healthy but nice to start therefore the Tuna was a nice healthy alternative. What a delight! The truffle made the Tuna stand out as all my taste buds sky-rockted. It gave it a distinct flavor. Then came the Bone Marrow-a plate of 4 big oxtail bones filled with shredded beef with toasted bread besides each bone. A true delight to savor.

If the Bone Marrow is too much for you, the Beef Cheek Toast would be more appropriate as it has the same shredded beef on top of a toasted bread. Another real treat is the Escargot Tortellini. A plate of 4 tortellini smothered with creamy sauce with bits of bacon was the utmost satisfaction that we got. It was my first time in a long time that I tried escargot but it actually tasted like beef. Tasty and delicious!

Deconstructed Apple Pie-001

Lastly, we just had to have dessert therefore our waiter suggested the apple pie but this was not any ordinary apple pie. This was a Desconstructed Apple Pie. The pie was served with 4 fluffy pastries on one side, cinnamon ice cream in one jar and the apple filling in another jar. One had to place all of these items in the plate. It was delish and proved that by this time we were completely full.

Other than the plates we tried, the mediterranean-style cuisine also had more selections of tapas, raw seafood, and a sushi bar. One can sit at the dock area gazing as the marine boats pass by and enjoying a nice night out under the stars. A suitable place to dine with a loved one and/or with friends. A true gem!

Cocktail Reception
Introduction by The Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami Director, Babacar M’Bow

IRREVERSIBLE is delighted to announce the 2014 Featured Magazine Competition Winners Congratulations!
Richard Herzog, Taylor Pilote, Natalie Dunham, Judy Gelles, Bear Kirkpatrick, Ira Upin, Anna Olsson, Randy Burman, Jaber AlAzmeh, Oscar Fuentes

As the state’s only large format magazine competition, for our 3rd consecutive year IRREVERSIBLE has introduced the work of thousands – local, estate, national and international artists – working in all media: emerging, mid-career, and established artists. Our annual Featured Artists Competition reinforces Irreversible commitment to artists, provides professional exhibition opportunities for emerging artists, and reveals a provocative and aggressive glimpse – through artists’ eyes – of the state-of-the-art today through paintings, sculpture, photographs, video and installations. The results of the Featured Artists contest were based on the judge’s extensive experience and knowledge of works that engage audiences with contemporary visual art, creative thinking, and most importantly; an educational component inspiring future generations. The presentation and technical merits of each entry were extremely important, as well as the quality of the work and the information provided in the application.

There is no doubt an artist grows by leaps and bounds when he or she puts artwork in the public eye for feedback, and that is what this art competitions is all about. History, patronage, commissions, and incredible opportunities have all been prizes afforded to winners of major art competitions. Big part of my dream is that IRREVERSIBLE Projects, Exhibitions And The Magazine further the reach and spectrum of opportunities available for an artist of any experience level and medium.

Art students from 15 Miami-Dade Schools who created sculptures from junk bicycles will compete this Saturday for the prize of “Best Recycling Project” in a charity benefit contest hosted by Gran Fondo Italia.

Circo Massimo Entertainment (CME), with the help of the City of Miami Beach, collected junk bicycles from the streets and gave them to 15 schools of the Miami-Dade district, selected by ODLI, Inc.

Students have disassembled, attached, painted and glued parts of the bikes to create a unique piece of art, as a free expression of kids’ creativity.

Artworks will be available to purchase at auction with 100% of the proceeds to benefit the MCH Foundation (Miami Children’s Health Foundation).

The three winning artworks will be on display in the “History of Italian Cycling” exhibit at the Coral Gables Museum, from Oct. 28th to Nov. 7th, and all the fifteen artworks will be at the EXPO of the 2014 GRAN FONDO ITALIA in the weekend of Nov. 8th & 9th in Coconut Grove, at 2500, Pan American Drive.

Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami
‎770 Northeast 125th Street
Miami, FL 33161

This visual story is one that has not yet been told. Not because there is no storyteller to tell it, but because it exists only in fragments each assuming its own autonomous existence removed from the constraints of mainstream history.

THIRD SPACE Inventing the Possible is the story of visual artists who defy their otherness and enter the realm of 21st century aesthetics not only to lay their historic claim on it, but also to challenge the framework which defines and polices its boundaries. This exhibition engages Miami artists in their articulations of the lines of continuities. What comes out is that we do not cease to be related simply because separated by race, nationality or color.

The Martin Bejerano Quartet, wiith Dave Fernandez on sax, Josh Allen on bass, and Ben Falle on drums, will perform at the Museum of Contemporary Art Friday, July 25, from 8 to 9:15 PM.

Winner of third place in the prestigious 1999 Great American Jazz Piano Competition, Martin moved to New York City in the summer of 2000 to pursue a career in jazz. In less than a year, he was asked to join the quartet of legendary jazz drummer Roy Haynes, earning a Grammy nomination in 2004 for Best Instrumental Jazz Album. In January 2002, Martin also joined internationally acclaimed guitarist Russell Malone’s quartet, and continues to tour and record with both these groups. Martin has performed most of the major jazz festivals, clubs and venues around the world with such jazz luminaries as the Christian McBride Band, Kenny Garrett, Roy Hargrove, Adam Nussbaum, Lonnie Plaxico Group, Ignacio Berroa, Mingus Big Band, Arturo Sandoval, and even traded choruses with the legendary Chick Corea. Martin’s career as a solo artist has also begun to blossom with his debut CD as a leader, Evolution/Revolution released in 2007 to high critical praise. Martin has performed with his group at Dizzy’s Club Coca Cola, Arturo Sandoval’s Jazz Club, The Kitano, The Jazz Gallery, and was recently awarded the prestigious New Jazz Works composer/ensemble grant from Chamber Music of America. Currently Martin spends his time between Miami and New York City, and holds teaching positions at the University of Miami and Broward College.

The concert is free for all ages. MOCA is located at 770 NE 125th St in North Miami. Visit mocanomi.org for more details.

Honoring Women in Media, a Roundtable to Celebrate Women’s History Month 3/29/14

FIU Biscayne Bay Campus

North Miami, FL 33181
Bayview Ballroom (Wolf University Center, Room 221)
Cost: $15; $10 for SFBJA members; free for FIU students.

The South Florida Black Journalists Association (SFBJA) and FIU’s chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ) will honor seven key women who have influenced the media and communications. “Women in Media,’’ a roundtable, will be held on Saturday, March 29, 2014, at 3 p.m. at the FIU Biscayne Bay Campus, 3000 NE 151 Street, North Miami, FL 33181 in the Bayview Ballroom (Wolf University Center, Room 221). The honorees, who will share how they have navigated through the industry, include:
Trina Robinson, NBC6 Investigative Anchor;
Carolyn Guniss, managing editor for the South Florida Times;
Suzan McDowell, owner, president, and CEO of Circle of One Marketing;
Yvette N. Harris, founder and lifestyle strategist for Harris Public Relations;
Traci Cloyd, on air personality for WHQT-FM Hot105;
Julia Yarbough, author, media relations specialist for Julia Yarbough Media Group; and
Trenae Floyd, public affairs coordinator for Miami-Dade Commissioner Barbara J. Jordan.

“These are women who have spent their careers delivering news or otherwise facilitating the storytelling process. While many are household names, they often toil without receiving the full amount of recognition they deserve. These women have been “leaning in” well before the best-selling book generated today’s buzzword about women and leadership, ” states SFBJA President Terrence Shepherd.

Each woman was chosen for her distinguished career accomplishments and contributions to the South Florida media landscape. Suzette Maylor will moderate the panel.

MIAMI, FL The Color Mob 5K hits Miami on Saturday, July 27, 2013 and will transform a horde of runners and walkers into a living work of abstract art. Colored cornstarch will be hurled at entrants as they make their way through the course in this fun run, and there will be live music and a beer garden to greet 5K participants when they cross the finish line as newly minted color abstractions that would make Jackson Pollock proud.

In the Color Mob 5K, it’s suggested participants wear white to fully maximize the effect of passing through these vivid Technicolor clouds. Costumes are always welcomed too. The colored corn starch used to “paint” the 5K-ers may take more than one wash to get out of clothing, though, so it goes without saying that no one should show up wearing their Sunday best. Color Mob 5K is open to all ages, with children under age 2 getting in for free. Registration for this colorful event opens at 11am, with racers leaving the start in waves every 5 minutes between 12 and 2pm at Oleta River State Park. A full afternoon at the park followed by live music, a beer garden, and food makes for a fun and unique experience for families, groups, couples and individuals.

While strollers are certainly welcomed, pets will have to stay at home, no matter how adorable they would look covered in bright powder. And for the more serious racers, there’s no reason to bring your custom timing chips because the point of this 5K isn’t to set any personal bests (and it will not be timed); the point is to get blasted with clouds of color and come out the other side of the course looking like the exterior of a hippy bus. Registration is non-refundable but is transferable. So what are you waiting for? Get signed up and get colorful. For more information or to register visit http://www.colormob5k.com/miami.

2013 Asian Pacific American Heritage Month Celebration Citizenship Clinic and Health Fair 5/11/13

2013 Asian Pacific American Heritage Month Celebration – Citizenship Clinic & Health Fair
2013-0511-flyer-ceMay 11, 2013, 11 am – 3 pm
NANAY Community Center
659 NE 125 Street
North Miami, FL
 
The Asian American Federation of Florida (AAFF), NANAY, Florida Chinese Federation, Florida Department of Health – Miami-Dade County, Florida Immigrant Coalition (FLIC), GOPIO-FL, Miami-Dade County’s Office of Community Advocacy, NAAPAC-FL, OCA South Florida Chapter, Thai-American Association of South Florida, United Chinese Association of Florida, and World Kwong Tung Community Association – Miami Chapter cordially invite you to the 2013 Asian Pacific American Heritage Month (APAHM) Celebration through a Citizenship Clinic and Health Fair. 
 
The coalition aims to build leadership embracing cultural values and promote inclusion of Asian Pacific American communities to celebrate the diversity of Florida’s population, and to foster civic engagement through U.S. citizenship.
 
The Citizenship Clinic is offering FREE ASSISTANCE to eligible individuals to complete the US naturalization application.
 
According to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), there are about 8 million eligible green card holders who haven’t chosen to become U.S. citizens yet.  Nearly 3 million Asian-American and Pacific Islanders are eligible or will be eligible soon; but only 276,000 of them were naturalized two years ago, the latest figures available.
 
If you are eligible to apply for citizenship, you will meet with a trained volunteer to fill out Form N-400 and assist with any additional requirements to complete your application.  For eligible low-income permanent residents, they may receive fee waiver for their application.
 
"South Florida has more than a quarter (over 125,000) of the Asian American Pacific Islander population in Florida," states Winnie Tang, AAFF President. "Yet, many of its residents aren’t citizens due to language barriers and the high cost of citizenship. Even fewer of them are part of the voting electorate.”
 
“We want to foster civic engagement of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders by encouraging them to become naturalized, and there is no better time than this May in celebration of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month,” continues Tang.  “The drive is part of a statewide effort to sign on Asian and Pacific Islander immigrants as U.S. citizens.”
 
AAFF will host a series of Citizenship Clinics in South Florida.  Here are workshop dates:  May 11at NANAY Community Center – Miami-Dade County, May 25 at Hope Lutheran Church – Manatee County, June 15 at Chinese Baptist Church of Miami – Miami-Dade County, and July 13 at Coral Springs Chinese Cultural Center – Broward County.
 
“We will help citizens-to-be fill out forms and will explain the U.S. citizenship process in their native language,” says Joy Bruce, MD, NANAY President.  “Due to the high cost of citizenship, the free workshop is designed to help green card holders determine their eligibility for citizenship.  FLIC trained volunteers will help people complete their naturalization application and determine whether they are eligible for various waivers.”
 
In addition to the Citizenship Clinic, in partnership with Florida Department of Health -  Miami-Dade County, a mini Health Fair will provide basic health screening and HIV & STD screening to encourage healthier living in the Asian American community and community-at-large.
 
For more information, please contact Winnie Tang, AAFF President, at call 305-753-8791, Dr. Joy Bruce, NANAY President, at 305-951-5552, or FLIC hotline at 1-888-541-2826.  You may visit FLIC website to learn more about the Citizenship Clinic via www.FLNewAmericans.org.

The song is instantly recognizable. Hava Nagila (The Movie) which opens the Miami Jewish Film Festival on Saturday, January 26, is a toe-tapping, hand clapping romp through the history, mystery and meaning of a ubiquitous party song that has its roots in the shtetls of Eastern Europe, and has found a cultural re-boot with recordings by Harry Belefonte, Elvis and Connie Francis. Marking its’ sweet 16th year, the ten-day festival brings award-winning national and international dramas, thought-provoking documentaries about cultural diversity and racism, and endearing stories that explore friendship, trust and the art of forgiveness. Special events include Miami’s largest Hora dance on Monday, Jan. 21.

Tickets are $75 per person

James Bond turns 50 and it has sparked a fevered pitch around the world and no one is immune! Not even her Royal Highness, Queen Elizabeth. As we can all remember, this year’s Olympics opening ceremony was all about James Bond escorting the Queen of England out of a helicopter and parachuting into the stadium. Here in the US, we are also catching the fever with the welcomed release of the newest addition to the best selling movie franchise in history with “Sky Fall”. Countless events throughout all the major cities are slated to bring the fever to an all time high.

The Dezer Collection will do it like no one else in the world can!

The Dezer Collection’s James Bond Experience on November 9, 2012 at 7pm, will welcome die-hard fans to a reception filled with an endless flow of “Shaken Not Stirred” martinis by Russian Standard and served with a KGB smile from the Russian Standard girls. Delectable, globetrotting canapés will be spied and served by Celebrity Chef Adrianne Calvo.

Caviar treats reminiscent of black market treats will be sampled as a few privileged guests get to walk among the largest collection of James Bond cars and memorabilia, including the original “Golden Gun”.

All the spies in attendance will be able to view the trailer as they enjoy the reception, only to be kidnapped and shuttled to an undisclosed private theater to walk the red carpet, take pictures with the latest addition to the Bond Exhibit and watch the new premier of the “Skyfall” movie.
All those present will be the first witnesses to the unveiling of the new additions.

The James Bond series wouldn’t have been the same without the cars, guns and gadgets utilized on-screen by the beloved secret agent. Constituting one of the largest collections of James Bond props and vehicles in the world, the Dezer Collection’s James Bond exhibition is valued at over $15 million and includes a fascinating array of automobiles, motorcycles, submarines, airplanes, helicopters, boats, and snow mobiles. The collection is the largest James Bond Exhibit and home to the “Golden Gun” itself, a T-55 Soviet tank featured in the 1995 Bond film GoldenEye, a BD-5 Microjet, six Aston Martins, and many more.

The Dezer Collection is an automotive collection spanning a century of cars from Ford Model “T” to the latest in Hollywood cars. “Hollywood Cars of the Stars” showcases some of Hollywood’s most celebrated films and television shows of all time.

Don’t miss out on the action by purchasing tickets to the “James Bond Experience” before they sell out!

Graffiti Artist Futura Visits South Florida

Last Friday, Graffiti Artist Futura visited the North Miami Total Wine store. Futura started creating his graffiti art in the New York City subways of the 1970’s. His popularity grew to the point where he was touring with Punk Rockers The Clash, performing live graffiti backdrops as the band played. “So why was he in a liquor store in South Florida?” Excellent question, and the answer might not be what you thought.

Futura recently collaborated with Hennessy Cognacs to design a limited edition bottle for their VS product. I’m not really a graffiti aficionado, but the art is really colorful and interesting. Hennessy arranged a short bottle signing and tasting at Total Wine, and I was given an invitation to attend. You didn’t need an invite, but it was a nice touch.

I arrived early as prompted, with my cousin-in-law. We were first in line, too, typical. Hennessy didn’t just have a table and pen for this guy either. There were at least 4 or 5 models, a DJ, some decorations, some swag, velvet ropes to assist this giant bodyguard in protecting Futura (you know how rowdy Total Wine customers can be).

Anyway, I took a bunch of pictures, had Futura sign my bottle, a gift box and my newly acquired Hennessy cap. He was a soft-spoken guy, appreciative of fans coming down to support him and gracious and patient with the photographers. So I guess I can cross off “meet famous graffiti artist” from my bucket list. How about you?

RARELY SCREENED 1970s FILMS BY ARTIST ED RUSCHA TO BE PRESENTED AT MOCA
Wednesday, August 1 at 7 pm

Films at MOCA will present Premium (1971, 24 min.) and Miracle (1975, 28 min.), two rarely shown films by legendary West Coast artist Ed Ruscha on Wednesday, August 1 at 7 pm. Ed Ruscha, who is the subject of the current Museum of Contemporary Art exhibition, Ed Ruscha: On the Road (on view through September 2) is best-known for his artists’ books, paintings and photographs that document and comment on the shifting character of the American landscape. Ruscha also experimented in the film medium and these two films from the 1970s display a gift for deadpan humor.

Admission to the screening is free for MOCA members, North Miami residents and City of North Miami employees; $5 adults, $3 for students with ID and seniors. Galleries will be open until 9 pm that evening.

Premium (1971) is based on the Mason Williams short story “How to Derive the Maximum Enjoyment from Crackers” and stars artist Larry Bell as young lothario who invites model Leon Bing to be his crouton of love. Miracle (1975) features artist Jim Ganzer as a man obsessed with the carburetor of a 1965 Mustang and actress Michelle Phillips in a tale about a strange day in the life of an auto mechanic.

The screenings are presented as part of MOCA by Moonlight at the Museum of Contemporary Art, located at 770 NE 125th Street, North Miami. For more information, visit www.mocanomi.org or call 305 893 6211.
