HYPERCULTURE Рan installation by Victor Mu̱iz
Hyperculture refers to the staggering rate of change in modern technological societies. It is the condition of perpetual interregnum. In other words hyperculture is our constant state of being in between while information continues to flow with increasing volume. The rampant illnesses of our society–including the disintegration of the family, the degradation of the environment, unlimited commercialism, and unrelenting stress are familiar to us all.
Victor Muñiz examines the profundity of Hyperculture according to the Gaian hypothesis that the earth is a self-regulating organism. Can the same be said of information? Does it lead a life of its own or is it merely a disposable by-product of mass culture?
In the age of information Muñiz is a terabit of talent.

Miami21 is an urban planning document for the City of Miami. It is supposed to create a greener, more people-friendly City. There is a lot to like about the “big picture” objectives.
**
The Devil is in the Details, however. The City has an old tradition of making deals that are against the public’s good.
**
It is up to YOU, the resident, to be sure that when they say it is “Your City, Your Plan” that this is true.
People participating makes a HUGE difference in the results. Numbers matter: the more, the better.

To see current planning documents, check out:

Familiarize yourself with areas and issues that matter to you, your friends and family.

For any questions, please call the Miami 21 hotline at (305) 416-2121

It is a minute’s walk to Scotty’s Landing for burgers, dolphin sandwiches and beverage breaks.

There is public bus transportation from UM and Brickell/Downtown (48 Bus), and from MetroRail (Grove Circulator).

Dutes Miller and Stan Shellabarger are the two artist that together form, Miller & Shellabarger. Miller & Shellabarger will be the 10th artists to participate in Diet’s invitational series of exhibitions. Their work, which is often rooted in accessible performances, links them together as partners, procreators, specimens, and artists. Miller & Shellabarger take a comical, yet heartfelt everyday approach to the notion of collaboration. For their exhibition at Gallery Diet, Dutes and Stan will be performing Untitled (Pink Tube), a never ending, at least not to date, performance in which the duo sit across from each other patiently knitting a pink tube, their casual demeanor encouraging audience members to join them in conversation; inviting questions that range from the socio political to the mundane. The ritual of their performance lies in the ritual of the everyday, the casual tasks that two people perform when linked together.

Reception – Simon Starling: Inverted Retrograde Theme, USA (House for a Songbird)
Friday, August 28 – 7-9PM
Conceptual artist Simon Starling (b. 1967 Epsom, England) explores the relationships between craft, material, technique, social history, association and memory. Inverted Retrograde Theme, USA (House for a Songbird) is comprised of two scale models of prefabricated single-family houses that are pinned to the ceiling by tree branches. They are each a one fifth- scale recreation of existing homes located outside San Juan, Puerto Rico. Built in the 1960s, these houses were part of a postwar philanthropic effort in developing countries, financed by the New York-based Rockefeller Foundation.
Overlapping traditions, geographies and historical narratives, Starling combines the modernist theories of architect Simon Schmiderer (born Saalfedlden [Salzburg Province, Austria], 1911); died Highland Beach, FL April 2001), and Austrian composer and theorist Arnold Schonberg (born Vienna, 1874; died Los Angeles, 1951) who, in both of their respective fields, created rigid systems based on modular logic which were intended to enhance creativity. The architect was influenced by the composer, and was known to incorporate his musical theories in his work.
Simon Schmiderer, a faithful modernist, was best known for his “serial” housing, his motto being “one house in one hour.” He was the architect for the extensive residential building project in Puerto Rico during the 1960s, basing his designs on pre-formed, inexpensive, concrete modules with ample open windows, omitting glass to “integrate” the interior and exterior. The wire mesh around the houses represents the security measures the actual inhabitants of the project in Puerto Rico took to maintain their safety in the high-crime area, as the original architectural plan dismissed the inhabitants’ practical needs, and was comprised of all open spaces with no security. The sound of singing birds coming from inside the seemingly caged homes completes the startling visual metaphor.
The architect adapted the composer’s serialist techniques in his work, and Starling illustrates this idea into the installation by mirroring the structures. The title for the installation is derived from Schonberg’s compositional system which can be played as “original,” “inverted,” “retrograde” or “inverted retrograde.” Aspects of inversion and translocation (characteristic for twelve-tone music) were added to offer a new perspective of the modernist idea. Starling takes Schoenberg’s ideas further by flipping the houses upside down and pinning them to the ceiling, each balanced by one thin mahogany branch. The exhibition is on view through September 13, 2009.
Please join us on Friday August 28, from 7-9PM for a special reception. Beverages compliments of Dziac, Grolsch, and Cafe Bustelo. Hot Nights Cool Jazz featuring the Dave Fernandez Quartet from 7-9PM.
Free for Bass Museum members; $10 non- members.

As if Desyn Masiello on The Terrace wasn’t enough, Space and the Techno Loft are extremely proud to present two more legends, continuing their dedication to cutting-edge and underground sounds.
This Saturday, August 29th, the Techno Loft plays host to two of the top DJ/Producers in the genre, Magda and Troy Pierce.
Hailing from Poland, Magda (real name Magdalena Chojnacka), got her start in the mid 1990s in New York’s then-vibrant dance music scene. With all forms of dance music gaining headway, she rapidly grew with it, gaining notoriety both on the decks and in the studio for her uncompromising sound. Changing attitudes in the Big Apple led her to depart in 2003, bringing her to her current home of Berlin. It was in Berlin where her current sound began to develop. Partnered with Troy Pierce and Marc Houle, she began to take advantage of the new possibilities present in production and DJing techniques brought upon by affordable new hardware and software. Eventually catching the attention of Richie Hawtin, Magda soon began to release material on Hawtin’s influential Minus label. Of course, never complacent, Magda soon established her own label, Items and Things, where she continues to produce to this day.
Joining her also this evening will be Troy Pierce. A longtime collaborator of Magda’s, Indiana native Pierce took his influence from the dynamic scenes of Chicago and Detroit. With Chicago as the stronghold of house, and Detroit the birthplace of techno, Troy’s style naturally has been hard to classify, with both of those genres and more, making it into his record bag. Soon after, with a stopover in New York in the late 1990s, Troy eventually moved to Berlin, where he began to work with Magda and Marc Houle. Encouraged by the two, Troy readily adapted his style to the new flavors and technology coming out of Germany’s capital, with an insatiable desire to satisfy the city’s notoriously picky club culture. This all paid off in 2006, with Troy hitting the road with Magda and Richie himself for a massive US tour, which solidified his name as one of the “go-to” guys in the techno and minimal scene.
And of course, the night will be rounded out by Techno Loft residents Maurizio + Danyelino and Dsan Powell.

“WHAT WE DO IS SECRET.” – THIS SATURDAY, AUG 29TH 2009 / 7-10PM
http://wetheat.tv/Prieres-DriveBy.html
SPINELLO GALLERY / DESIGN DISTRICT: 155 NE 38 ST, No. 101, Miami, FL – 33137
SOLO EXHIBITION: Manny Prieres / “What We Do Is Secret.”
OPENING RECEPTION: Saturday, August 29th, 7-10pm
Spinello Gallery (155 NE 38 St., No. 101, Miami Florida – 33137) is proud to present the much-anticipated solo exhibition by one of Miami’s original stars, Manny Prieres, “What We Do Is Secret.” The Cuban-American artist will feature a suite of haunting graphite and watercolor works on paper and sculpture . This will be Prieres’ debut exhibition with the gallery.
Prieres explains, “Every collision leaves a trace behind: debris, a trail of residue that marks the site where violence took place.” The work of Manny Prieres is that sort of remnant, the product of the clash between a traditional, temperamental heritage, and an intense, idiosyncratic counterculture. During the process of this convergence, a series of artifacts are created. They stand at the threshold of a new folklore: they are the iconography of a new tradition.
In this sense, Manny Prieres is an archaeologist, one that has painstakingly and lovingly preserved the objects of an unexplored civilization: their symbols, their gods, their rituals, and their lore. These artifacts bring up tales from the artist’s personal history, yet as a whole they create new narratives that, despite having hybrid elements from multiple sources of influence, are nevertheless moving towards an entirely different place.
Manny Prieres has been an active member of the Miami art scene for over ten years. From 1997-2004, Prieres ran one of Miami’s first influental alternative art spaces, BOX, alongside Jose Reyes and Leyden Rodriguez-Casanova. BOX played a crucial role in the development of the Miami art community.
Exhibition through September 26th, 2009.
SPINELLO GALLERY prides itself in exhibiting intelligent works of art in every medium by contemporary local Miami emerging artists. SPINELLO GALLERY has become the playground for unorthodox and experimental artists who don’t easily fit into the confines of the traditional gallery space. SPINELLO GALLERY is steadily making headway in the Miami Art Scene and beyond becoming a contender in the Art World.

The Flying Carpet
Pip & Duane Brant
Opening night on Saturday, September 5 from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. coincides with the Lincoln Road art walk
Pip Brant’s carpet is comprised of a found oriental rug, embroidery, silkscreen, brass ornaments, wood, car parts, electric motor, laser-light and rheostat controllers. The rug first entered Pip’s life in the early 1980s in Wyoming. The many adventures of Pip’s carpet were just taking shape when she had an epiphany: she would create an impotent “flying carpet†that only shakes and lights-up when foot pedals are engaged.
Duane’s installation pieces are dubbed “Sew Organs’ or interactive acoustical sound machines. In addition to the flying carpet, ArtCetner’s audience will be invited to play with these instruments that combine vintange sewing machines with shellacked, wooden acoustic forms that are electronically connecte to organs, cellos or old radios.
The show will run from September 4th – Ocotober 11th, 2009 at the ArtCenter/ South Florida’s Lincoln Road Gallery.

About: Educate Tomorrow, Corp. is an international, nonprofit, certified 501(c)(3) organization. All over the world, poverty denies children, as well as adults, the promises of a better tomorrow. Forgotten by society and social welfare programs, children born into poverty are trapped in a cruel and often violent cycle that frequently continues for generations. Lacking the inspiration, confidence, knowledge, and means to change, entire families are lost to the cycle of hopelessness.
Educate Tomorrow believes that the best way to end the cycle of poverty is through education. Our mission is to make education an attainable goal for the most disadvantaged in our world, so that all may be afforded the possibilities that can be achieved through learning. We strive to reach out to these individuals and provide them inspiration, guidance, and support and lead them on the path of life-long learning.
Educate Tomorrow’s primary mission in the US is to provide one-on-one educational mentors to foster care children who are turning 18 and “aging out” of the system. Since its founding in 2003, Educate Tomorrow has successfully implemented its mentoring programs, education programs and life skills camps across the nation. Additionally, it has reached internationally by continuing to support the work of its founders who established one of the first local language primary schools, adult literacy programs and boarding schools in the remote and impoverished village of Kabey Fo in Niger, West Africa.

TALK AND BOOK SIGNING BY SENATOR BOB GRAHAM—Senator Bob Graham will discuss his new book, America: The Owner’s Manual, an insider’s guide to making the political system work for you. Designed with students in mind, this how-to book can be used by all to make politics a hands on activity, rather than the spectator sport it usually is. The Owner’s Manual is available in soft cover for $16.95 in The Dynamo Museum Shop or by contacting paola@thewolf.fiu.edu.
Senator Graham retired from public office in early 2005, spent the 2005–2006 academic year at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government as a senior fellow, and is currently focusing his efforts on the “Bob Graham Center for Public Service at the University of Florida,” which trains the next generation of public leaders to solve public policy challenges facing Florida, the nation, and the Americas. Senator Graham currently serves as the Chairman for the Commission on the Prevention of Weapons of Mass Destruction Proliferation and Terrorism and was recently appointed to serve on the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission. RSVP required: 305.535.2644 or lydia@thewolf.fiu.edu. Free reception follows.

FROM A STRANGE TOWN
A ONE-PERSON EXHIBITION BY VICENTE HERNÃNDEZ at Cernuda Arte
OPENING RECEPTION WITH THE ARTIST: FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 7-10 P.M.
Cernuda Arte will host an exhibition of artwork by contemporary Cuban artist, Vicente Hernández entitled, From a Strange Town. The exhibit which inaugurated at the Servando Gallery in Havana will now show in Miami, Florida. The artist has been granted a visitor’s visa by the US government to attend the Opening Reception of his solo show at the gallery on Friday, September 4, from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m.
Vicente Hernández has had one-person exhibitions in Cuba, The Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Panama, Venezuela, Spain, and the United States. This will be the artist’s second personal exhibition in the USA. Hernández resides with his family in Batabanó, Cuba and is represented by Cernuda Arte world-wide.
The exhibition, From a Strange Town, comprises more than thirty works on canvas and is accompanied by a thirty-six page full color catalog. Hernández’ paintings, grand in scale and vibrant colors, reveal a convoluted universe in which surreal elements and artifacts of multifarious nature move and float freely about in navigable seas and skies. Inspired by his native surroundings in Batabanó (a fisherman’s town south of Havana), the artist approaches his main plastic discourse – the massive migrations of people – from a contemporary perspective. In a distinct style of his own, the painter renders riveting and thought-provoking images, reminiscent of noteworthy painters who have marked history.
As professor, art critic and curator, Alejandro Anreus comments,
“…Recently I encountered the work of a young painter living and working in Cuba which has simply amazed me. His name is Vicente Hernández. He is a native son of Batabanó and a painter with a capital P. His pictures, canvases that range in size from the modest to the monumental, are synthesis of good drawing, balanced composition and painterly colors. Floating neighborhoods and islands inhabit his paintings, as do boats and ships, towers and flying machines. Within each one of these universes we encounter other worlds, where people struggle, make love, dream and escape, while animals are curious witnesses to human folly. Although I might find some antecedent “family member†within Cuban painting in Hernández’ work… I choose to see him as a homegrown Brueghel from Batabanó. Like the Flemish master, Hernández is very much a moralist with a compassionate sense of humor. Brueghel was anchored in the humanism of Erasmus. I have been told Hernández is a devout Baptist, therefore he is probably anchored in this most libertarian of Christian faiths.â€

Guy Richards gears his humor toward himself as he is truly bipolar. Guy was diagnosed in 2000, with a severe Bipolar disorder. Guy has now taken his Illness, as well as his trials and tribulations and brings it to the stage into a brighter light with his comic abilities; to let others know it is ok and everything is possible and nothing is impossible. Richards passes on a powerful message, not only with his comedy, but also doing lectures relating to his condition.
As a performer, Richards is a versatile and multi-talented entertainer. He sings, dances, does characterizations, produces and directs. His high energy comedy is not only infectious but contagious. Richards is whacky, zany and full of life. He has appeared on Television, in Films on Broadway, in Las Vegas and Atlantic City, Casino Magic, Ballys and tours nationwide. Richards is currently shooting a new film on Miami’s famous South Beach. He recently finished an award-winning documentary film entitled “Mr. Laughs A Look Behind The Curtain.†DVD Now available on amonzon.com (Mr. Laughs). Guy will soon be shooting another movie entitled “Chicago Blues,†starring William Forsythe, Daniel Baldwin, Michael Chinn, Sal Richards and other cast members..

* Thursday “Stop Drop n’ Roll”
live performance by: Diablo Dimes Medicine Show
Djs: Liam, the Hatin Hillbillie & Grand Torino
no cover $3 beer specials all night
doors 10pm -5am
*Friday “The Funk Hits the Fan”
w/ Special guest, legendary Philly dj/ producer King Britt (fivesix media)
You certainly won’t find an artist with a better potential to transpose the many different musical genres into a marvelous standard of grooves full of feelings than Philadelphia native King Britt. His comprehension of what we should call the phonographic culture lies much ahead than the common ones. With a work forged a mixture of Jazz, Soul, Funk, the percussive Afro beats, Hip Hop, Broken Beats, Deep House and the new Electronic Jazz fusion, King Britt has proved to be a very eclectic and open minded soul.
King Britt was the DJ of the Grammy winner Hip Hop-Jazz fusion band Digable Planets. His career pointed to different directions as he started to travel the World on Digable tours and with his own ones on the international House scene as Disc Jockey. At the beginning of his journey as solo DJ, he began a partnership with the well-known DJ/ producer and owner of Ovum Recordings: Josh Wink, who also contributed for the development of his career. One of their first projects together was E-Culture, the one behind the classic “Tribal Confusion” released by Strictly Rhythm in 1990.
King’s seventies funk roots of Philadelphia are also represented through his Sylk 130 project, which brought the traditional Philly sounds elements and projects with artists such as Ursula Rucker, Alma Horton and Alison Crockette in a combination of a funk-soul aura. The highlight of this alias was attained with the long play “When The Funk Hits The Fan”, an excellent combination of the traditional Plilly soul grooves blended with contemporary electronica.
King’s talents as a remixer resulted in a total subversion of rhythms and of the original tunes conceptions, from the works of Yoko Ono and Femi Kuti to the ones of Erykah Badu and Macy Gray. Perhaps that should be the cause why he received, as well as other celebrities like Masters At Work and Joe Claussell, the invitation by the people from legendary Jazz label Verve Records to give his contribution to the acclaimed compilation “Verve Remixed”. He finally owned the title on the category “Remix of the Year” with Danny Tenaglia and Basement Jaxx, which granted him the status of one of the most respected remixes all over the World.
Don’t miss this intimate evening w/ King Britt as he returns to Miami this Friday @ the Electric Pickle. doors 10pm -5am

FOOD, Inc.
(A documentary film by Robert Kenner/USA/2009/94 min.)
In Food, Inc., filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the veil on our nation’s food industry, exposing the highly mechanized underbelly that has been hidden from the American consumer with the consent of our government’s regulatory agencies, USDA and FDA. Our nation’s food supply is now controlled by a handful of corporations that often put profit ahead of consumer health, the livelihood of the American farmer, the safety of workers and our own environment. We have bigger-breasted chickens, the perfect pork chop, herbicide-resistant soybean seeds, even tomatoes that won’t go bad, but we also have new strains of E. coli—the harmful bacteria that causes illness for an estimated 73,000 Americans annually. We are riddled with widespread obesity, particularly among children, and an epidemic level of diabetes among adults.
The film on Friday will be followed by a Q&A with an organic farmer Gabriele Marewski from Paradise Farms Organic.
The film on Saturday will be followed by a Q&A with Chef Jeff Mcinnis from De Lido Beach Club at the Ritz Carlton.

Some people DJ, others make beats. Heads everywhere spit lyrics—either off the dome or noted, and many are even recognized as true MC’s who actually manage to rock a crowd here & there. A few folks get by juggling two or more facets; and even a small number happen to be classically or self-taught piano players, drummers and strummers. Count Bass D does it all.

What do you want to change about your life? Do you wish you were in better health? Wish you were more connected to your community? Do you wish you could save money on gas?
Bicycling magazine and MetLife have the solution: Start riding a bike. In its seventh year, Bicycling’s BikeTown USA, presented by MetLife, is giving away 30 bikes to Miami residents. People interested in changing their daily lives will have the opportunity to see how a bike can improve life for themselves, their families, and even their communities.
“In our seventh year of BikeTown USA, we wanted to refocus the program on neighborhoods, where people spend time with their family and friends,†said Loren Mooney, editor-in-chief of Bicycling. “A bike becomes the ultimate neighborhood multi-tasking tool – you can connect with your community, improve your health and travel to the local coffee shop all by riding a bike.â€
Anyone interested in receiving a new bike simply needs to tell Bicycling, in 50 words or less, how having a Jamis Communter 1 or Citizen 1 bike would help make a change in his or her life. Bicycling’s editors will select what they feel are the 30 best essays and the selected writers will each receive a bike to keep.
Bicycling tracks participants’ progress for three months, with results featured in the magazine and on Bicycling.com. Previous stories have been astonishing – thousands of pounds have been lost, blood pressure and diabetes medications dropped, marriages saved, impromptu bike clubs started, and countless bike commuter miles logged to save money on gas and help the environment. In essence, thousands of people enjoy their lives more because they spend more time on a bike.
“On behalf of MetLife, we are proud to sponsor this year’s BikeTown USA to help bring bicycling to people across the United States and in Miami this month,†said Michael J. Vietri, executive vice president, Individual Distribution, MetLife. “As a company, we have a long-standing history of community involvement and are particularly focused on people’s health and well being. Through bicycling, our clients and their friends and families have an outlet to relieve stress, improve their health and have fun.â€
Participant entries are being accepted at www.bicycling.com/biketown until August 21st. The BikeTown event will be happen at Bayfront Park on Thursday, August 27, 2009 from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. All selected participants will receive a new Jamis Commuter 1 or Citizen 1 bike, a helmet from Lazer and a lock from OnGuard.
“Jamis is proud to join the team as the Official Bike of BikeTown 2009,” said Carine Joannou, President of Jamis Bicycles. “We’ve been building bikes for 30 years and know firsthand how cycling can change lives. We are really looking forward to helping BikeTown participants achieve their goals.”

PULSE Miami Announces Relocation to The Ice Palace for its Fifth Edition
Helen Allen, Director of PULSE Contemporary Art Fair announced today that PULSE Miami is taking over The Ice Palace in downtown Miami. The large venue offers PULSE a more dynamic space for the exhibition of art and is conveniently located within minutes of the Venetian and MacArthur Causeways to Miami Beach. The layout in the former ice factory, built in the early 1920’s, will be designed to utilize the vast outdoor area to enhance visitors’ experience and additional cultural programming. In just five years, PULSE Miami has grown into a major international exhibition, which has frequently been hailed as the most significant art fair in Miami after Art Basel Miami Beach.
“We are thrilled to be moving to The Ice Palace”, said Helen Allen. “We are planning to work on the space to maximize its full potential by implementing a series of improvements such as the layout, lighting, and wider aisles. The caliber of exhibitors we are bringing will undoubtedly allow us to produce an incredible fair. We are also pleased to remain the anchor of the Miami/Wynwood area”.
The Ice Palace Film Studios, typically referred to as The Ice Palace, is a former ice factory centrally located in Miami’s Media and Entertainment District. It stands at the heart of the new cultural center, neighboring the Miami Art Museum, CIFO, the Symphony Theatre and The Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami Dade County. Boasting over 145,000 square feet, Art Deco architecture and verdant lawns, it will constitute an exceptional and easily accessible setting for PULSE Miami.
PULSE Miami 2009 will feature over 75 exhibitors in its main section, with an additional 10 galleries in its IMPULSE section. The Fair will also present its signature programs: the installations and large-scale sculpture program, PULSE Performance, PULSE Play>, and, on Saturday, December 5, 2009, it will award the PULSE Prize in honor of Adriaan Van der Have of TORCH GALLERY who passed away this spring.
The VIP Private Preview Brunch will be held on Thursday, December 3, at The Ice Palace from 10am to 1pm.
Opening Hours:
Thursday, December 3: 1pm – 8pm
Friday, December 4: 10am – 7pm
Saturday, December 5: 10am – 7pm
Sunday, December 6: 10am – 7pm
Location: The Ice Palace- 1400 North Miami Avenue, Miami, FL 33136
About PULSE Contemporary Art Fair:
PULSE Contemporary Art Fair is the leading US art fair dedicated solely to contemporary art. Held annually in New York and Miami, PULSE bridges the gap between main and alternative fairs and provides participating galleries with a platform to present new works to a strong and growing audience of collectors, art professionals and art lovers.
The Fair is divided into two sections and is comprised of a mix of established and emerging galleries vetted by a committee of prominent international dealers. The IMPULSE section presents galleries invited by the Committee to present solo exhibitions of artist’s work created in the past two years.
The Miami debut of PULSE Performance will feature daily performances and concerts by young emerging artists such as Maria Jose Arjona, who was recently invited to be part of a workshop with Marina Abramovic, and whose daily performances will be among the highlights of the new programming. Notable musical talents in the outdoor concert and performance series include The Vivian Girls, The Blow, and Exene Cervenka.
Additionally, PULSE will present its signature program of large-scale sculptures and installations throughout the fair’s exhibition halls and lawn, as well as the PULSE Play> video lounge curated by João Ribas, Curator of Exhibitions at the MIT List Visual Arts Center, Cambridge, MA. Danny Baskin and Andy Schrock, featured in PULSE PRESENTS at ACADEMY 2009 hosted by Conner Contemporary Art, have also each been awarded space to present new projects at the fair.
Each year, one artist featured in IMPULSE, the section of the fair dedicated to solo artist presentations, is awarded a $2,500 cash prize. This year’s PULSE Prize will be awarded in honor of Adriaan van der Have, Founder and Director of Torch Gallery, who was an inspiring force in the art world for his dedication to the promotion of emerging artists. The winner will be announced Friday, December 4, 2009 during the PULSE Party at PLUNGE at the Gansevoort South.

Frost Art Museum presents The Missing Peace: Artists Consider the Dalai Lama
The Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum at Florida International University presents the opening of The Missing Peace: Artists Consider the Dalai Lama. The exhibition, a result of the collaboration between the Committee of 100 for Tibet and the Dalai Lama Foundation focuses and explores art as a medium for peace inspiring readers in pursuing peace in their lives, both personally and in their communities. The exhibition opens on Friday, October 9, 2009 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.
Over 40 pieces of art from collections done by different artists who have created their own interpretations and answers concerning the 14th Dalai Lama will be on display throughout The Museum. The artists were asked to create portrayals of the Dalai Lama, and as a result a collection of tapestries, photographs, and paintings were created with multiple images, themes, and media that mirrors the many roles the Dalai Lama plays within the world. The title of the exhibition, The Missing Peace: Artists Consider the Dalai Lama, is a play on words, showing that peace will always be missing in our world. The Dalai Lama consistently shows that dedicating oneself to peace is anything but pointless. The purpose of this exhibition is not to focus just on the work of the individual artists, but upon peace. The works inspired by the Dalai Lama seek to inspire other to have love and patience, and generate compassion.
The artists were asked to create portrayals of the Dalai Lama, and as a result a collection of tapestries, photographs, and paintings were created with multiple images, themes, and media that mirrors the many roles the Dalai Lama plays within the world. The artists not only explore the Dalai Lama himself, but also discover and explore other multiple features of the leader. The exhibition includes work by Chuck Close, Laurie Anderson, Bill Viola, Jenny Holzer, Anish Kapoor, Richard Gere, Marina Abramovic, and Michele Oka Doner, among others. Each of these artists has a unique set of ideas and that will inspire, engage, and educate the viewers. The Dalai Lama is a global spiritual leader, temporal leader, and a Buddhist who has demonstrated a path to peace. The exhibition is going to broaden the appreciation for the Dalai Lama and all the principles and qualities he embodies. The Missing Peace is funded in part by Funding Arts Network and The Charles Wei-Hsun Fu Foundation.

TGIF Everyone!
As you probably know, we have our next big event, Earth Is Art, coming up in just a week on August 22nd! We have a really nice show coming together for you with several south Florida artists, music, food, drinks, performances, and a lot of fun.
You know that Life Is Art is a non-profit, but we still have operating expenses. We put a lot of effort into following our mission of promoting and supporting the south Florida arts community. The response has been incredible, and everyone seems to agree that we are providing needed services.
To help us raise revenue to do more for the community, we are holding an auction and sale at this event. We are asking local businesses and arts lovers to sponsor an item or service for the auction. In addition to supporting the arts, you will receive some nice promotion in exchange. We always work to provide value for the community and all our supporters. We will list your name on the website, in email, on Facebook, and during the event. It is an inexpensive way to get your name in front of potential new customers.
If you are interested in participating, please contact us right away at art@lifeisartfest.org and we will get you all of the information. If you know of any business that might be interested, please pass this message along to them. Thank you very much!

Roger Sanchez has always operated several miles ahead of his dance music colleagues. Sanchez’s front-running position in the club community comes from an innate talent and taste for creative exploration.
From the beginning of his career, he has consistently strived to redefine the boundaries of underground house music, beginning in 1990 under the moniker Underground Solution with the single “Luv Dancin.” With that now classic single, Sanchez proved that the texture of a thick syncopated baseline, and a simple but contagious melody, could rise above the confines of a small venue into mainstream consciousness and on to crossover radio airwaves. The track was eventually re-recorded with the haughty and seductive delivery of newcomer Jasmine, further expanding its already ardent international audience and providing a glimpse into Sanchez’s creative grasp.
“I’ll never forget hearing, that record played in a club for the first time,” says Sanchez. “Watching people react to it was a revelation. I knew this record was different from anything l had worked on and it was just the beginning.” From that point he rose to the top of the major label remix league, adding his magic touch to a broad selection of today’s greatest artists. One of those would again change the course of career travel for Sanchez; “‘Take Me Back To Love Again’ by Kathy Sledge was one of the first records that I had to really show people that I could handle something with real depth,” he says of the song that he transformed from a sultry R & B ditty into a full throttle, gospel-spiced mover. “It wasn’t just a case of re-cutting the keyboards and beat. l went back into the studio with Kathy, and she re-sang the song. It was pure chemistry. We connected and really respected one another and that brought out the best we had to offer.” A worldwide No. 1 smash, “Take Me Back To Love Again” led to post-production of Sledge’s next single “Heart.”
Along the way, Sanchez further developed his unique and highly musical image within clubland with a foray into the world of independent label ownership. In 1992, he formed One Records, an outlet that earned a sole reputation for it’s cutting edge releases by Sanchez and a host of other underground luminaries. Last year came Narcotic Records. Among it’s early releases was “Another Star” which proved to be a massive vocal club anthem on which he teamed up with Kathy Sledge once again. Narcotic has emerged as a label that can deliver eclectic club tracks from the likes of Ashley Beedle, Deep Dish and DJ Disciple.
The hardcore of Sanchez’s tenure in dance music is an ongoing passion for stepping behind the turntables. “To me, spinning records can be just as creative as producing and remixing,” he says. “A great DJ can take a record and give it an entirely new sound or vibe, by the way they deal with the beats or chord progressions.” Sanchez still spins regularly, serving the longtime disciples of his hallowed ‘Ego Trip’ travelling parties, which were the talk of New York and Europe.
“DJ-ing is part of what draws me into making music,” says the New York native, who divided his early 20’s between seasoning his musical aptitude and studying architecture at the Pratt Institute. “For a while I tried to do both, but what can I say, music was what touched me more deeply. I had to give it a shot.”
Needless to say, Sanchez made the right decision. In addtion to a full slate of production, writing and remix chores, 1997 will see the birth of Narcosis Records which will be an outlet for more experimental music including Drum ‘n Bass and Hip Hop. Both Narcotic and Narcosis will continue the Sanchez philosophy of nurturing new talent and providing inspirational dance music.

Hollywood Central Performing Arts Center, US-1 and Monroe Street
Based on the Academy Award winning animated feature, the stage version of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast includes all of the wonderful songs from the film, written by Alan Menken and the late Howard Ashman, plus new songs written especially for the Broadway version by Mr. Menken and Tim Rice.
The audiences will be transported to a lovely French provincial town where the beautiful Belle lives with her father – a dotty inventor. When her father doesn’t return from a trip to the local fair, Belle rushes off to find him. To her dismay, she discovers he is being held captive in an old castle by a horrible beast. She trades her freedom for his and the “tale as old as time†begins. How Belle tames the unfortunate Beast and his ultimate transformation into a handsome prince continues to enthrall audiences.
Tickets are $7 for adults and $4 for children under 12-years-old. Tickets can be purchased at the box office 1 hour prior to the show. Performances take place at Hollywood Central Performing Arts Center, US-1 and Monroe Street (1770 Monroe Street). Click here for more information.

About:
Educate Tomorrow, Corp. is an international, nonprofit, certified 501(c)(3) organization. All over the world, poverty denies children, as well as adults, the promises of a better tomorrow. Forgotten by society and social welfare programs, children born into poverty are trapped in a cruel and often violent cycle that frequently continues for generations. Lacking the inspiration, confidence, knowledge, and means to change, entire families are lost to the cycle of hopelessness.
Educate Tomorrow believes that the best way to end the cycle of poverty is through education. Our mission is to make education an attainable goal for the most disadvantaged in our world, so that all may be afforded the possibilities that can be achieved through learning. We strive to reach out to these individuals and provide them inspiration, guidance, and support and lead them on the path of life-long learning.
Educate Tomorrow’s primary mission in the US is to provide one-on-one educational mentors to foster care children that are turning 18 and “aging out” of the system. Since its founding in 2003, Educate Tomorrow has successfully implemented its mentoring programs, education programs and life skills camps across the nation. Additionally, it has reached internationally by continuing to support the work of it’s founders who established one of the first local language primary schools, adult literacy programs and boarding schools in the remote and impoverished village of Kabey Fo in Niger, West Africa.
Live Nation does it again by bringing in one of the best acts in the Electronic Dance Music world, Thievery Corporation. Don’t miss it as the infamous duo comes to The Fillmore Miami Beach at The Jackie Gleason Theater on October 9th with very special opening guests Ancient Astronauts. This is one of the most anticipated shows of the year.

Giving the gift of music to underprivileged children is a cause that perfectly aligns with MM’s mission, so I hope to see many of you there to Dance For A Cause!
Another fitting feature of this party is the talent lineup. Few names are tied to electronic dance music’s past, present, and future like Chris Fortier. Honing his skills over the last two decades with highlights such as a Balance Series compilation and founding credits for the Balance Record Pool, Fortier has always been on the leading edge of dance music. Musical Missionary is extremely proud to call Chris family and to have him be a part of this special event.
But this is not your typical one-headliner party. Stryke and Sebastian are local dance music masters who remind me of how lucky I am to live in Miami. Stryke spends most of his time on the road so having him join this party is an extra special treat. And Sebastian… he’s been a Musical Missionary favorite since MM started throwing parties, so this lineup couldn’t be more fitting for this occasion.

Building A Future (BAF) is hosting a fundraiser and donating all proceeds to eight family support centers in Honduras. These facilities provide approximately 1,000 at-risk children with daily meals, supplementary education, and a place to stay when they have nowhere else to go.
Due to the tense political situation of the past months, the centers in Honduras have not received the subsidies necessary to carry out its activities in favor of the most impoverished of children. Without this help, these support centers will be forced to drastically reduce or cease operations.
BAF supporters in Miami will be hosting the event “Fun in the Park–Helping the Children of Honduras” at Kennedy Park on August 15, 2009 from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
The event will be a fun-filled and family -friendly day with something to do for everyone while promoting a great cause.
Activities in the event will include: Yoga, Soccer, Volleyball, Football. Water balloons & bounce house for kids!
There will also be cupcakes, cookies, gatorade, ice cream, hot dogs, and snow cones for sale.
There will be a $5 fee to participate in the day’s activities.
Donations are welcomed.

he Frost Art Museum Presents Target Wednesday After Hours
Opening exhibition of Geoffrey Olsen’s work, CCE Poets’ Room. Teorema opening and a performance by Isadora Duncan Dance Ensemble
The Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum at Florida International University presents an evening celebrating the opening of Geoffrey Olsen’s show Miami Paintings along with a performance by the Isadora Duncan dance ensemble and the opening of Poet’s Room. Teorema in the first Target Wednesday After Hours event this fall. This event will take place on Wednesday, September 2, 2009 from 6 p.m. – 9 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.
Geoffrey Olsen was the director of graduate studies at Florida International University. Born in Merthyr Tydfil, Geoffrey Olsen studied art at Bristol, Newport, Cardiff and the Academy of Fine Art in Munich and to this day is one of the most original painters to come from the Welsh Valleys. Olsen’s artwork was inspired by the natural landscapes and traditions of his homeland. His paintings are characterized by a bold, free-flowing use of oil paint in layers, and he develops themes based on the native forms of his hometown and on the light and environment of Miami, where he spent his last years. His show will feature all the paintings he created while living in Miami.
Poet’s Room. Teorema exhibition is a result of the partnership of Centro Cultural Español de Miami, Govern de les illes Balears and Institut Ramon, Spain. In 1305, the Balearic philosopher Ramon Llull introduced the concept of a logic machine in his work Ars generalis ultima. This tool was influential when first conceived in the middle ages, and is still relevant today. The exhibition will include work by Spanish artist Horacio Sapere, a documentary series, and a round table discussion by scholars on the philosopher’s work.
This event will also feature a performance by the Isadora Duncan Ensemble, which was founded by FIU Professor of Dance, Andrea Montell Seidel in 1992. This is the fifth generation to bring about Isadora’s legacy of solo and group dances.

ANGEL HANDS FOR ALS LAUNCHES IN SOUTH FLORIDA WITH FABULOUS EVENT AT RIVER LOUNGE
Please log onto: http://www.angelhandsforals.org for more information. RSVP AND CONFIRMATION REQUIRED TO ATTEND.
Angel Hands for ALS, a nonprofit foundation started in July 2007 in the state of North Carolina as a limited liability corporation is launching a South Florida Chapter now as Non Profit Foundation with Public Charity Status. The launch will take place with bites by Om Garden and a Chivas and Prairie Vodka cocktail reception on August 6th 2009 from 7-10pm. The event will take place at River Lounge located at 270 Biscayne Boulevard Way, Miami, FL 33131, inside the Epic Hotel.
Spearheaded by Donald Koenig, a Veteran of the US Navy and Carmen Morales-Koenig, (his wife & his care giver) the duo has used their private funds to service and assist other patients with ALS and their families with medical equipment and support. During the last two years they have traveled in their “DonKMobile†to several cities and states through the East Coast sharing a word of faith and describing the benefits of life after a ventilator. The couple has traveled the map trying to educate and mentor. Morales, a registered nurse by profession, is active in various national organizations for the disease to include ALS TDI Foundation and National ALS association.
Koenig and Morales have been invited to symposiums, gatherings and social functions to speak and share their testimony. They have attended and also spoken at several PALS (Patients with ALS) associations in different cities across US, the last being in Melbourne, Florida April 2009. At said event, they spoke to six other patients and their families. All showing great interest in attending the “Angels Hands for ALS Boot Camps,†to further learn how to care of their family members and provide them a better quality of life.
Within a short time this amazing, passionate twosome has created such a positive impact in the ALS Community that on April 20th 2009, they decided to commence a national launch. They chose Miami as the launch pad, deeming it such a dynamic and incredible market. Once the choice was made, they carefully enlisted Esperanza Franky, a local active professional in the South Florida to be the Legal Representative of the national 501©3 nonprofit, “Angel Hands for ALS, Foundation Inc.†With a main focus to help many more PALS and their families, the foundation will aid many with the help of Governments Grants and Private Fundraising.
Franky, has close to a decade of experience in the finance/banking industry and has made several TV appearances working with other non profits such as Organización C.A.S.A., leading their “Projecto Vivienda.†Now, as CEO of Angel Hands, she will collaborate with many of her longtime contacts to help the cause. When asked about her mission with the organization she simply states: “I have very high goals and high-hopes for [this] Foundation. In unison we will endeavor to help as many low-income patients who suffer from ALS; by teaching and training their care givers an efficient way to take care of them & for patients of ALS to feel an active part of their families and of society.â€
Hosted by WSVN Deco Drive reporter and “On the Flip Side†host Aubrey Aquino, Univision’s Karol Rosa, the launch event for Angel Hands for ALS with feature a cocktail reception, giveaways, and promotional partners to include: Om Garden, Chivas Regal, Next Miami Magazine, Miami Empresarial Magazine, InterContinental Miami, IT Design, Cakes in the City, Prairie Vodka (courtesy of AMC Liaisons), Camelot Salon & Spa, Ramsey & Jade Couture, Live Colors Media, The Homestead Miami Speedway, and 880TheBiz.

ANGEL HANDS FOR ALS MISSION STATEMENT:
Angel Hands for ALS strives to promote awareness and provide education on how to improve the quality of life for patients suffering Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.
ABOUT ALS
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), often referred to as “Lou Gehrig’s Disease,” is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Motor neurons reach from the brain to the spinal cord and from the spinal cord to the muscles throughout the body. The progressive degeneration of the motor neurons in ALS eventually leads to their death. When the motor neurons die, the ability of the brain to initiate and control muscle movement is lost. With voluntary muscle action progressively affected, patients in the later stages of the disease may become totally paralyzed.
A-amyotrophic-tropic comes from the Greek language. “A” means no or negative. “Myo” refers to muscle, and “Trophic” means nourishment–”No muscle nourishment.” When a muscle has no nourishment, it “atrophies” or wastes away. “Lateral” identifies the areas in a person’s spinal cord where portions of the nerve cells that signal and control the muscles are located. As this area degenerates, it leads to scarring or hardening (“sclerosis”) in the region.
As motor neurons degenerate, they can no longer send impulses to the muscle fibbers that normally result in muscle movement. Early symptoms of ALS often include increasing muscle weakness, especially involving the arms and legs, speech, swallowing or breathing. When muscles no longer receive the messages from the motor neurons that they require to function, the muscles begin to atrophy (become smaller). Limbs begin to look “thinner” as muscle tissue atrophies.
