Spend Easter Sunday, Mother’s Day and More at the Vatican (Exhibition!)

Held Over by Popular Demand, Vatican Splendors Exhibition at Museum of Art I Fort Lauderdale Granted Special Permission from the Vatican to Extend Through May 8, 2011
The Museum of Art
One East Las Olas Boulevard
Ft. Lauderdale, FL
www.moafl.org.

Due to Its Popularity & High Attendance, Vatican Splendors to Remain On View at Museum Through Mother’s Day in Rare Touring Extension of the Objects on Display from the Vatican
Exhibition Presented by Holy Cross Hospital in Association with PNC Bank and AutoNation

Since its opening on Jan. 29, 2011 at the Museum of Art I Fort Lauderdale – Nova Southeastern University, the major exhibition Vatican Splendors: A Journey through Faith and Art, presented by Holy Cross Hospital in association with PNC Bank and AutoNation, has attracted record-breaking numbers of visitors and critical acclaim. Due to its tremendous popularity and high attendance levels, Vatican Splendorshas been granted special permission from the Vatican to extend its tour at the Museum to allow even more families and individuals to enjoy the exhibition. The final day the exhibition will be on view is now Mother’s Day, May 8, 2011 – two weeks after the original close date of April 24. After May 8, all of the precious objects must return to Italy.

The special exhibition extension permitted by the Vatican will also allow visitors to be in the presence of personal items of Pope John Paul II and objects representing his likeness after his Beatification on May 1, 2011. Visitors will even be able to put their hand on the bronze cast of the Blessed Pope John Paul II’s hand.

Presented by Holy Cross Hospital in association with PNC Bank and AutoNation, Vatican Splendors is one of the largest collections of art, documents and historically significant objects from the Vatican ever to tour North America.

Irvin Lippman, the Museum’s Executive Director, said, “We anticipated that Vatican Splendors would be extremely popular, but the high attendance numbers have far exceeded our expectations. We’re very pleased that the exhibition’s time on view at the Museum has been extended with special permission from the Vatican by two weeks. It’s uniquely intriguing to a large number of people because it is highly uplifting, whether for religious, political, cultural, or historical reasons.”

Tickets are on sale at the Museum Box Office and online at ticketmaster.com as well as by phone at 1-877-2VATICAN (1-877-282-8422).

Vatican Splendors: A Journey through Faith and Art presents spectacular paintings by artists such as Giotto and Il Guercino and sculpture by Baroque master Gian Lorenzo Bernini, along with unique objects illustrating the Catholic Church’s impact on history and culture. The exhibition’s nearly 200 objects, many of which have never been on public view, are presented in the Museum’s galleries and in specially-created environments that enhance the visitor’s understanding of both the historical as well as the artistic significance of each work. Objects include paintings, mosaics, sculpture, jewels, intricately embroidered silk vestments, uniforms of the Papal Swiss Guard, as well as an elaborately decorated gold and silver reliquary containing bone fragments of Saint Peter and Saint Paul.

Organized and circulated in conjunction with the Congregazione per l’Evangelizzazione dei Popoli of the Vatican City State, Vatican Splendorsis produced by Evergreen Exhibitions in association with the Museum of Art I Fort Lauderdale. The exhibition is designed to take visitors on a journey into the heart of Vatican City – one of the world’s smallest states, but also one of the richest in history, tradition and culture. The collections are organized to provide a window to the Vatican’s role in the world, with objects marking events throughout 2,000 years of history and tradition. The Vatican has played a central role in creating and preserving Western art and the exhibition includes major works created specifically for the Church. Collectively, they illustrate the evolution of the Church and its papacy beginning with Saint Peter, with special emphasis on art and historical objects reflecting significant events and periods relating to Christianity.

Organized and circulated in conjunction with the Congregazione per l’Evangelizzazione dei Popoli of the Vatican City State, the exhibition is produced by Evergreen Exhibitions in association with the Museum of Art I Fort Lauderdale, Nova Southeastern University.

Since its founding in 1958, the Museum of Art I Fort Lauderdale has served our growing community as a gathering place for friends and neighbors, a lifelong learning center for children and adults, and as a dynamic hub for the cultural life of Broward County. Housed since 1986 in a distinguished modernist building designed by Edward Larrabee Barnes, the Museum is South Florida’s premier destination for quality exhibitions and programs that encompass every facet of civilization’s visual history. During the past five years, more than 11Ž2 million visitors have enjoyed remarkable exhibitions like Cradle of Christianity, Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs, and American Chronicles: The Art of Norman Rockwell. In 2008, the Museum became part of Nova Southeastern University, the seventh-largest not-for-profit independent institution in the nation, to form an expanded arts campus that joins the school’s Davie location with the Museum’s downtown Fort Lauderdale address.

Official 2nd Saturday Art Walk and Reception at Attila Lakatoush Art and Design Studio 11/12/11

Official 2nd Saturday Art Walk and Reception
Saturday November 12th , 5pm – 10pm
Attila Lakatoush Art & Design Studio
Midtown 4 (M-312)
3301 NE 1st Ave M-312
Miami, FL 33137
RSVP: cafesocietygroupmia@gmail.com

Stevens Bissie Management and Café Society Group have joined forces with Attila Lakatoush Art & Design to curate a true art experience. On Saturday, November 12th from 5PM-10PM they will host an official 2nd Saturday Art Walk event and cocktail reception. Featured Artists of the Month include: Lola Reyes, Griselda Lechini, and Constantin. Please be sure to RSVP: cafesocietygroupmia@gmail.com. Please join us on November 12th for cocktails and art starting at 5PM to celebrate as Attila Lakatoush welcomes three emerging artists into his gallery for Novemberʼs 2nd Saturday Art Walk.

About Café Society Group The mission and purpose of Café Societyʼs cutting edge project of the arts is to promote civic consciousness while effectively giving back to Womanʼs and Childrenʼs Charities, and promoting both Environmentalism and the Arts within schools and communities in the areas their shows are held; New York, Ft. Lauderdale, Miami, Palm Beach, and Los Angeles.

Attila Lakatoush Based in Miami and New York, Attila Lakatoush is a highly gifted and trained artist. His career began at the early age of eight when he was offered a scholarship to study at the Pratt Institute. After completing his training as a top-notch fashion illustrator at the High School of Art and Design and finally the Fashion Institute of Technology, Attila discovered and refined his own style while traveling the world. He credits visionaries such as Claude Montane, Vivienne Westwood, and Cynthia Rowley for influencing his style.

Reminiscent of 40ʼs film icons like Hedy Lamarr, Rita Hayworth, and Eva Gardner, these glamorous women are not the girls next door. They know how to use their wiles how to dress and act well, how to carry themselves with coexisting strength and femininity. Attilaʼs clients include philanthropist/socialite Dorythia Green, actress Lucy Liu, actress Debbie Mazar, Super Model Linda Evangelista, and Legend Eartha Kitt to name a few.

Griselda Lechini After years of modeling around the world Lechini discovered that she was an artist at heart. She began painting and hasnʼt stopped since. Now she has found the vehicle to translate the beauty around her on to canvas and life has never been better.

Lola Reyes Reyesʼ inspiration and passion for photography is attributed to her mother and father. Her father, a Director/photographer for National Geographic, and her mother, a model for the haute couture houses of YSL and Valentino, taught her how to scratch the surface of glamour in order to expose and celebrate the beauty in life. Living in both her father and mother’s worlds allowed her a unique opportunity to step out of what was familiar and to cultivate a taste for different cultures.

Constantin Constantin is a painter of the imagination. This mixture of imagination and practical features in his art creates an escape and a distraction from the inside. He feels the goal of painting is to show what reality cannot. The colors he uses are strong and powerful and pulsate all senses. It is a world of imagination where he admits to wander frequently.

#ThankYouMiami for Fashion – #TheFallsINDULGE

Miami Fashion Bloggers and moms at The Falls Miami’s INDULGE: Fashion + Fun for Moms event. Photo by SFG Mag.

Last Thursday, we kicked off our Mother’s Day celebrations early by treating our mom (“mamá”) to a day at The Falls Miami and having her join us in co-hosting a special fashion presentation for moms. Mamá lives in Boca and, thanks to Town Center Mall, is super familiar with the Simon Mall routine: lunch, shopping, primping, coffee, more shopping. Despite having a tight schedule, we got everything done with time to spare and created a few special memories along the way. These were our three favorite moments:

1. Seeing our similarities in an unexpected surprise. When we got to Macy’s to pick our looks for the evening, mamá went one way and we went another, only meeting up occasionally to reflect on our selections. We styled ourselves solo, so you can imagine our surprise when we realized that our final outfits were not only from the same exact designer but also featured similar prints. As we said to the audience at the event, “the apple clearly doesn’t fall far from the tree.”

#ThankYouMiami for Fashion – A Reflection On Our Personal Style

Thank-You-Miami-For-Fashion-Personal-Style-Reflection-Overalls-Mom-1

We have been reflecting a lot lately. Maybe it’s common for our age or maybe we’re going crazy – nevertheless, these days, our brain has been on nostalgia overdrive. Today, we reminisced super hard as we watched our little sister cross the finish line of her first full marathon. We couldn’t have been more proud of her. We also couldn’t have been more emotional about watching her reach such an incredible milestone.

We’re gearing up for even more waterworks as Mother’s Day quickly approaches. All our recent reflection has emphasized just how important our mom is to us. And, as we prepare to celebrate her on Thursday, April 30th at The Falls INDULGE: Fashion and Fun for Moms event, we can’t help but get teary-eyed at how she has influenced us throughout our life. ¡Ay!, pero es tan emocional that we can’t even… Continue reading “#ThankYouMiami for Fashion – A Reflection On Our Personal Style”

Bloomingdale’s Aventura

Shoppers are invited to experience Nicky’s favorite beauty brands up close and personal. Plus, enjoy a mini-makeover from a Space NK highly trained skincare specialist & makeup artist.

Nicky started Space NK in 1993 in a former banana warehouse in London’s Covent Garden.

Rococo Rock & Royal Trio: In celebration of the Queen’s Jubilee and London Olympics, Rococo founders and sisters Ange & Vernice Walker introduce a limited edition trio of red, white & blue nail polishes.

In Peace Eau de Parfum: 10% of net profits from the sale of each bottle will go directly to Women for Women International’s sponsorship program which supports women survivors of war to enable them to rebuild their lives, learn vocational skills and promote peaceful communities.

Lipstick Queen Liptropolis: This storybook collectible trio of three lipsticks is inspired by the women of Manhattan. Soho (the fashionable red), Central Park (the refined peach) and Upper East (the elegant nude) make up your perfect wardrobe of summer lip shades.

Beautannia “Brighton”: The fourth scent collection in our Beautannia luxury bath & body range is an indulgent celebration of Brighton – where shimmering sea meets hypnotic hedonism, jagged rocks become smooth pebbles evoking salty memories and ripples of decadence.

Mark Atomos Pilon was born under the Northern Lights, in Canada’s mysterious north. Perhaps it’s a childhood dwarfed by the aurora borealis that made him seek out his alias. After graduating from art school, Mark was researching an art project when he stumbled across a Walt Disney book called “Our Friend the ATOM”. The Greek name Atomos leapt out at him. “It means indivisible, or the smallest possible object,” Mark explains. “Mystery and science are a good working combination.”

Now based on the West Coast, he sent his imagination into a future that may never arrive. Every aspect of his art is carefully computer drawn and then meticulously painted in acrylic layers, to give them a sharp, print-like synthetic quality.

Mark has worked in magazine design for over 15 years as a designer and illustrator. Today he is one of three creative directors for Vancouver’s Georgia Straight Magazine His commercial clients include IKEA, Walgreens, the Sierra Club, and Virgin. He continues to illustrate for magazines worldwide and paints for galleries across North America. His paintings are a natural transition from his editorial illustrations, which are still computer constructed.

Those paintings grew out of Mark’s love of underground comics, space-age record jackets, scooter culture, and Moog music. “I’ve always been interested in the graphic arts of the 50s and 60s. They always used the best colours and lines. I love the work of Gene Deitch, Mary Blair, BC Binning, and Jim Flora.”

His most recent pieces reflect a post-pop conviction with an dab of surrealism that casts aside logic to reveal slices of modern life projected from dark holes into a dreamy multicolored world. It’s a style that can be recognized in an instant, but will stay with you for a lifetime. However, it’s not for everyone – if you’re looking for institutional, naturalistic art, keep on walking. “I have a lot of people tell me their kids can paint better than me,” Pilon says with a laugh. “I’m okay with that.”

In 2006, Mark received the Best Illustration Feature award for “Running on Empty” at the Western Magazine Awards.

The message, which should be no more than 60 characters, is then broadcast in real-time (screened of course) onto an eye-popping 14’ feet by 48’ feet digital billboard on heavily trafficked I-95 near the Linton Boulevard exit. The promotion, which ends on Mother’s Day, May 9, 2010, is gratis.

“It is Florida’s largest digital greeting card and anyone can share their sentiments honoring motherhood,” said Bobby Yampolsky, President of East Coast Jewelry. The promotion is not only a homage to mothers by the established jeweler, but showcases their trendsetting vision in digital technologies and luxury goods.

In addition to displaying their “love notes” on a billboard for all to see, visitors to the microsite can enter their email and name to register for a drawing to win a $2,500 East Coast Jewelry gift certificate, good towards any in-store purchase. Registration ends at midnight on May 9th, and the winner will be announced Mother’s Day.

Show the special woman in your life how much you appreciate her by visiting www.reallybiglovenote.com. Tell your mom, grandmother, wife, aunt or sister just how much she means to you this Mother’s Day. To see the billboard and its heart-felt messages, drive on I-95 northbound towards West Palm Beach. The board is located on I-95 near the Linton Blvd. exit, and will be broadcasting unique, personalized mother’s day content from May 3 – May 9, 2010.

About Mom-2-Mom 58 Foundation
The Mom-2-Mom 58 Foundation is a non-profit faith-based organization that was born out of the tragic death of the late Kansas City Chief linebacker Derrick Thomas on February 8, 2000. The founder, Mrs. Edith Morgan, suffered the sudden death of a beloved son whose vehicular accident could have been less tragic had he been wearing a seat belt at the time of the accident. She felt a pressing need to get the word out to other mothers about the importance of training our children in the use of seat belts. She also realized shortly thereafter that there were other issues she wanted to address and other situations wherein she wanted to be of service, particularly to mothers and to children. The Mom-2-Mom 58 Foundation focuses on child safety and empowerment and other issues that can impact a mother’s life such as a family member with paralysis, adolescent obesity, juvenile delinquency, domestic violence, heath care, estate planning, etc.

Many people looked up to Derrick Thomas as a role model. He left a tremendous impact on people – even people who did not know him personally. He touched many lives while he was alive and the Mom-2-Mom 58 organization is trying to continue touching lives in his memory by concentrating on strengthening mothers and nurturing children.

Join the Coral Springs Museum of Art for an artist reception featuring photographic artist Francie Bishop Good, Florida-based oil painter Dana Donaty, and the Everglades, while enjoying light refreshments as well as a cash wine and beer bar. Both exhibits will be on display from Saturday, June 2, 2018 through Saturday, August 25, 2018.

Francie Bishop Good: “Comus”Good and her mother graduated from the same high school in Allentown, Pennsylvania. After reflecting on photographs in her mother’s “Comus” yearbook, comparing them to those is her yearbook, she used her interpretations as a limitless source of material for this series. Good cross-pollinates painting, photography, drawing and collage with digital layering to create portraits in a series that is a staccato of media and a hybrid form of portraiture. In “Comus,” Good transforms high school yearbook pictures to a new reality.

Dana Donaty: “Profoundly Playful – A Survey of Work”Widely recognized for her provocative canvases with unusual narrative, Donaty’s unmistakable satirical lexicon is a perfect collision of reality and fantasy, psychological flirtation and a super-charged palette that is like a party about to get thoroughly out of control.

Forever Broward: “ForEver Glades – en plein air”The Coral Springs Museum of Art, in partnership with the Community Foundation of Broward, takes a look at life west of Interstate 95 with a delightful collection of paintings created en plein air (painted outdoors) on the edge of the Everglades at Markham Park. The “west meets east” program continues throughout the season with lectures and art in public places.

Cost: $40

South Florida JAZZ, the area’s premier modern jazz organization, is especially excited to present The Marcus Roberts Trio on Saturday, December 12, 2015 at 8:00 PM. This concert will take place at the Rose & Alfred Miniaci Performing Arts Center on the Nova Southeastern University campus, 3100 Ray Ferrero Jr Blvd, Davie 33314. Tickets are $40 ($10 students with I.D.) and can be purchased from Ticketmaster either by calling 954.462.0222; or online at southfloridajazz.org.

A major force in jazz piano since age 21, Marcus Roberts has won the Thelonious Monk Piano Competition, a National Academy of Achievement award, and the Helen Keller Award. Featured on 60 Minutes (CBS) as “The Virtuoso,” Marcus is an American treasure. This appearance is with his well-honed trio of bassist Rodney Jordan and drummer Jason Marsalis.

Last year Marcus Roberts had his life and work featured on a moving segment labeled “The Virtuoso” on the celebrated CBS show 60 Minutes. The program traced Roberts’ life from his early roots in Jacksonville and his studies at the Florida School for the Deaf and Blind to his remarkable career as a modern jazz musician. Roberts is perhaps best known for the development of a unique approach to jazz performance that features nearly unfathomable left and right hand independence in improvisation.
His blind mother’s gospel singing and the music of the church became imprinted on Marcus’s musical style. Despite losing his sight at age five, he taught himself to play piano, but did not have a formal lesson until age 12. His talent was obvious. Later he studied classical piano at Florida State University under the tutelage of noted concert pianist and pedagogue Leonidas Lipovetsky. Of the many awards that Roberts ultimately received, the Helen Keller Award for Personal Achievement is the most meaningful to him.
A huge boost to his career occurred at age 21 when Wynton Marsalis asked him to join his band. After six years, however, it was time to become a leader. Roberts’ legacy of recorded music reflects his artistic versatility. His recordings include works for solo piano, duets with other instrumentalists, and conventional trio arrangements of jazz standards; as well as original material for trio, larger ensembles, and even symphonic compositions. He recorded his arrangement of Gershwin’s Concerto in F for Piano and Orchestra with the Berlin Philharmonic. Roberts’ release of New Orleans Meets Harlem, Volume 1 in 2009 was the first on his own label, J-Master Records. Since then, he has been a prolific player and composer, releasing a very popular holiday recording, Celebrating Christmas; a nonet recording of an original suite, Deep in the Shed: A Blues Suite (Nov 2012); a collaborative CD of the Marcus Roberts Trio with Béla Fleck titled Across the Imaginary Divide (Rounder Records), and in 2013, three critically acclaimed CDs—From Rags to Rhythm, Together Again: Live in Concert, and Together Again: In the Studio. In 2014, Roberts released yet another suite of all-original music entitled Romance, Swing, and the Blues.
Roberts has long dedicated himself to the development of young musicians. In acknowledgment of his many contributions to music performance and education, The Juilliard School awarded him an honorary Doctor of Music degree in 2014.

Art Basel announces strong selection of galleries and artists for its 2014 edition in Miami Beach Private View

Art Basel’s show in Miami Beach returns this December for its 13th edition with 267 leading international galleries, drawn from 31 countries across North and South America, Europe, Asia and Africa. 2014 will mark the debut of Survey, a new sector dedicated to precise art-historical projects. In addition to showing premier artworks ranging from Modern masters to the latest contemporary pieces across five gallery sectors, many galleries will present works in Art Basel’s project-based sectors: Kabinett, Public and Film. The Art Basel show in Miami Beach, whose Lead Partner is UBS, will take place at the Miami Beach Convention Center from December 4 to December 7, 2014.

Attracting leading collectors, curators, museum directors and critics from across the globe, Art Basel in Miami Beach ranks as the premier art show of the Americas, with 50 percent of the galleries having exhibition spaces in the region. Alongside a strong presence of returning galleries from North America, first-time exhibitors from the United States will include Clifton Benevento, Freedman Fitzpatrick, Honor Fraser, Garth Greenan Gallery, Michael Jon, Menconi + Schoelkopf and Simone Subal Gallery. The show will again be marked by a strong presence of galleries with spaces across Latin America, with first-time exhibitors including Central Galeria de Arte and Galeria Bergamin from Brazil, and SlyZmud from Argentina. Reflecting Art Basel’s truly global reach, the show will feature leading galleries with spaces across Asia, including new participants Take Ninagawa and Y++ Wada Fine Arts from Japan and Beijing Commune from China.

Overall, this year’s participants have exhibition spaces in 31 countries: Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Colombia, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Monaco, the Netherlands, Norway, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, South Africa, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States and Uruguay. For the full exhibitor list, please visit artbasel.com/miamibeach/exhibitors.

Comprising 192 of the world’s leading galleries, the Galleries sector is the centerpiece of the show. With a reapplication rate of 100 percent, the selection process was particularly competitive this year. Returning galleries will be joined, following a hiatus, by The Approach, Galeria Raquel Arnaud, Maccarone, Giò Marconi Gallery and ShanghART, while two galleries who previously presented their artists in Nova will exhibit in the sector for the first time: Casas Riegner and galerie frank elbaz. For the full gallery list, please visit artbasel.com/miamibeach/galleries.

Survey – the new sector dedicated to precise art-historical projects ranging from solo shows to thematic exhibitions – will launch in Miami Beach with 13 select galleries. The sector will present nine solo exhibitions: Ralston Crawford (Menconi + Schoelkopf), Paul Feeley (Garth Greenan Gallery), Poul Gernes (Galleri Bo Bjerggaard), Tetsuya Ishida (Y++ Wada Fine Arts), Alison Knowles (James Fuentes), Lotty Rosenfeld (espaivisor), Niki de Saint Phalle (Galerie Georges-Philippe & Nathalie Vallois), Michelle Stuart (Leslie Tonkonow Artworks + Projects) and Alfredo Volpi (Galeria Bergamin). These presentations will be shown alongside group exhibitions by: The Taller Torres-García

(Cecilia de Torres, Ltd.); Henry Darger and Marcel Storr (Andrew Edlin Gallery); Andrei Monastyrski, Valie Export and Alfons Schilling (Charim Galerie); and Gina Pane, Rosemarie Castoro, Lenora de Barros and Lydia Okumura (Broadway 1602). Further information on the individual projects will be announced in the coming weeks. For the full gallery list, please visit artbasel.com/miamibeach/survey.

Providing younger galleries with a platform to present new work by up to three artists, Nova will feature 34 exhibitors. The sector will include work by David Diao (Galería Marta Cervera); Tania Candiani (Instituto de visión); Laure Prouvost (MOT International); Uri Aran, Ara Dymond and Mairead O’hEocha (mother’s tankstation); Shinro Ohtake, Tsuruko Yamazaki, Ryoko Aoki (Take Ninagawa); Oscar Muñoz, Voluspa Jarpa, Teresa Margolles (mor charpentier); Jon Pestoni, Sam Pulitzer (Real Fine Arts); and a performance installation by Brazilian artists Cibelle Cavalli Bastos and Patricia Leite (Mendes Wood DM).

The 16 curated solo booths of Positions will provide a focused insight into individual practices, from conceptual artists Sam Ekwurtzel (Simone Subal Gallery), Julien Carreyn (Crèvecoeur), and Nino Cais (Central Galeria de Arte) to painters Meleko Mokgosi (Honor Fraser), Florian & Michael Quistrebert (Galerie Juliètte Jongma), and Borden Capalino (Ramiken Crucible).

Demonstrating the range of the sector, Tracey Rose (Dan Gunn) will convert the traditional gallery booth into a stage to present a play with actors performing continuously throughout the show. For the full gallery list, please visit artbasel.com/miamibeach/positions.

Following the success of its Miami Beach premiere in 2013, Edition will return with 12 global leaders in the field of prints and limited-editioned works: Alan Cristea Gallery, Crown Point Press, GDM, Gemini G.E.L. LLC, Sabine Knust, Carolina Nitsch, Pace Prints, Paragon, Polígrafa Obra Gráfica, Paul Stolper Gallery, STPI, and Two Palms. For the full gallery list, please visit artbasel.com/miamibeach/edition.

Another highlight of the Miami Beach show is Film, a premier program of films by and about artists, selected by David Gryn, Director of London’s Artprojx, and Zurich collector This Brunner. Curated around the theme of ‘Playfulness’, David Gryn will present over 70 films and videos by an international roster of artists including ‘Ex Romance’ by Charles Atlas (Luhring Augustine), hand drawn animations by Atsushi Kaga (mother’s tankstation), and work by Laure Prouvost (MOT International). Gryn’s program will again be shown in SoundScape Park on the 7,000-square-foot outdoor projection wall of the Frank Gehry-designed New World Center. To further integrate Film within the art fair and to allow for ideal viewing conditions, Art Basel will unveil a newly designed film viewing room within the exhibition halls. This Brunner’s feature-film selection will be announced later this fall.

Also returning to Art Basel is Nicholas Baume, Director and Chief Curator of New York City’s Public Art Fund, who will curate Public – the outdoor installation of large sculptural works – for the second time. Further information on Public and Film will be released during the fall, along with this year’s selection for Kabinett – separate curated interventions delineated within the standard gallery booth – and Art Basel’s renowned Conversations and Salon series of panels and talks.

In response to the ever-increasing popularity of the Miami Beach show with arts patrons from all over the world, Art Basel’s opening structure this year will shift slightly with the official Vernissage moving from the evening of December 3 to the morning of December 4, giving exhibitors expanded time to focus on collectors and art world professionals.

Reflecting the show’s long-term impact on the local art scene, South Florida’s leading museums and private collections will again time their strongest exhibitions of the year to coincide with Art Basel. Visitors from across the world will have an opportunity to view the city’s internationally renowned private collections. The Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation (CIFO) will show ‘Impulse, Reason, Sense, Conflict/Abstract Art in the Ella Fontanals- Cisernos Collection’, featuring works exhibited for the first time at the CIFO Art Space.

‘Beneath The Surface’ at the de la Cruz Collection Contemporary Art Space will include work by Félix González-Torres, Wade Guyton, Rob Pruitt, Dana Schutz and Kelley Walker, among others. The Margulies Collection at the Warehouse will celebrate its 15th anniversary with an exhibition of work by Pier Paolo Calzolari, John Chamberlain, Willem de Kooning , Olafur Eliasson, Dan Flavin, Michael Heizer, Donald Judd, Anselm Kiefer, Jannis Kounellis, Sol LeWitt, Richard Long, Mario Merz, Joan Miró, Isamu Noguchi, Michelangelo Pistoletto, George Segal, Richard Serra, Tony Smith, Do-Ho-Suh, Franz West and others. The Rubell Family Collection will present ‘Collection Overview/50 Years of Marriage’.

In December the Pérez Art Museum Miami will present work by Mario Garcia Torres, in addition to their two concurrent solo shows by Beatriz Milhazes and Geoffrey Farmer.

The Norton Museum of Art will open ‘RAW: Klara Kristalova’. Other highlights include ‘Myth and Machine: The First World War in Visual Culture’ at the Wolfsonian-FIU; ‘One Way: Peter Marino’ at the Bass Museum of Art; and ‘Café Dolly: Picabla, Schnabel, Willumsen’ at NSU Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale.

Behavior (Conducta) (Cuba), directed by Ernesto Daranas. FLORIDA PREMIERE. *OPENING NIGHT FILM – FOLLOWED BY OPENING NIGHT PARTY AT THE SOON-TO-BE-OPENED “BALL & CHAIN” NIGHTCLUB. In director Ernesto Daranas’ second dramatic feature film, which will screen opening night at MIFFecito, a Havana boy sent to a reform school becomes the subject of a moral tug-of-war between generational ideologies in today’s Cuba. The complex, dramatic story centers on Chala, who on the critical cusp of adolescence, scrapes by with few positive role models as he illegally trains fight dogs. After Chala is sent to reform school, his addict mother’s attempts to have him released set up a chain reaction among the school leaders. Since its premiere in Cuba, the film became an unexpected social phenomenon sparking Cuba’s current social state as a hot topic for discussion.

“The Blue Car” (“El carro azul”) (Germany / Cuba), directed by Valerie Heine. FLORIDA PREMIERE. A short dramatic film about Marcos. His grandmother’s death forces Hansel, his worldly brother, to return Cuba to care for him, and an old family game helps restore the trust lost over the years.

Carmina and Amen (Carmina y amén) (Spain), directed by Paco León. NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE. Actor-cum-director Paco León is a familiar face to Miami art film lovers. He starred in the 2013 film Three Many Weddings which played at MiamiFF31. But the year prior, he created a charming showcase for the incredible force, charisma and outrageous personality of his actress-mother Carmina Barrios’ in Carmina or Blow-Up, which became an unexpected hit both in Spain and Miami. In this 2014 sequel, Carmina and Amen, Carmina triumphantly returns, upgrading the low-budget original with a deeper, more mature work that ups the ante on her larger-than-life outlook on family, sex, death and any other topic that falls into her purview.

I Can Quit Whenever I Want (Smetto quando voglio) (Italy), directed by Sydney Sibilia. FLORIDA PREMIERE. Full of terrific, farcical comedy and wicked social commentary, I Can Quit Whenever I Want is director Sydney Sibilia’s vehicle to offer Italians the chance to chuckle at the gloomy 43% unemployment rate for Italy’s youth. Realizing their post-graduate degrees are worthless, a rag-tag crew of desperate intellectuals imagine a new psychotropic drug, and then apply their refined but completely unmarketable skills to the illicit drug trade, much to the chagrin of the local Mafia. This film was nominated for 12 Donatello Awards, the Academy Awards of Italy.

Lake Los Angeles (U.S.A.), directed by Mike Ott. FLORIDA PREMIERE. Francisco, played by Miami’s own Roberto Sanchez, is a middle-aged Cuban man who works odd construction jobs, and makes money on the side by providing his home as a holding house for illegal Mexican immigrants. Cecilia, a 10-year-old Mexican girl, crosses the border hoping to find a better life in the US, but her treacherous journey into the Promised Land will test her spiritual and physical fortitude. Lake Los Angeles (2014) completes Mike’s desert trilogy which also includes: Littlerock (2010) and Pearblossom Hwy (2012).

Life Feels Good (Chce siÄ™ zyć) (Poland), directed by Maciej Pieprzyca. FLORIDA PREMIERE. The winner of several major awards at the 2014 Polish Academy Awards, Life Feels Good is the funny, brazen, sexual, fierce and wistfully melancholic story of Mateusz, a boy born with cerebral palsy and whose inner voice dialogue drives the film’s narrative during his 26 year fight to communicate with the world. Like My Left Foot, which is also based on a true story, the Maciej Pieprzyca-directed film draws parallels to Poland’s national struggles over the time period of Mateusz’s life, both the nation and the man refusing to give up.

Paradise (Paraíso) (Mexico), directed by Mariana Chenillo. FLORIDA PREMIERE. Director Mariana Chenillo’s second feature film takes on society’s obsession with “the perfect body” through light-hearted humor, poignant wit and absurd definitions of relationship balance. A deeply in-love, overweight married couple’s relationship suffers when, humiliated by social weight-loss chatter, they mutually seek to shrink their plus-sized bodies. Only one spouse succeeds, burdening the “failing” spouse with today’s idea of appearance and self-worth, even in the presence of unconditional love. The premiere at the Festival will be Chenillo’s second visit. Her previous film, Nora’s Will, won the Audience Award at MiamiFF26 in 2009.

Root (Raiz) (Chile), directed by Matías Rojas Valencia. FLORIDA PREMIERE. What happens when the estranged, abused 20-something daughter of a privileged family spontaneously adopts a nine year old boy orphaned from her domineering mother’s maid’s death? A long, rewarding road-trip, fraught with self-discovery, and bond-building. Despite their considerable age difference, Amalia and Cristobal’s common experiences of difficult family life are reinforced by director Matías Rojas Valencia’s striking, imposing scenery, at once building connections between the characters, the planet, and the wonders of life itself.

Spanish Affair (Ochos apellidos vascos) (Spain), directed by Emilio Martínez-Lázaro. EAST COAST PREMIERE. No film in 2014 has tapped the Spanish zeitgeist to the astonishing level represented by Emilio Martínez-Lázaro’s Spanish Affair, catapulting the 98-minute comedy to become the all-time highest-grossing Spanish film at the domestic Spanish box office. A love-smitten Seville man must pretend to be a Basque man in order to win the girl of his dreams, highlighting the cultural divide between northern and southern Spain. The tensions of Basque separatist sentiments, exasperated by Spain’s economic crisis, are a difficult daily reality, providing a taboo-busting opportunity to ease the pain with laughter through a seemingly-innocent film that proves otherwise.

Vara: A Blessing (Bhutan / Hong Kong / Sri Lanka), directed by Khyentse Norbu. FLORIDA PREMIERE. Director Khyentse Norbu’s lush, breathtaking visuals unfold the story of India’s brutal, indiscriminate caste system, which too-frequently constricts the possibility for the simplest, earnest relationships. The communion of love, art and spirituality collide when a lower-caste Muslim enraptures a lovely Hindu girl through the earthy, artistic grace of pottery, complicating village elder plans of marrying Lila off to a wealthy scion. Vara: A Blessing is a triumphant expression of whirling dance, music and the boundaries of devotion. The film is accompanied by music from worldwide famed composer and producer Nitin Sawhney. Director Norbu, who is a practicing lama, visited MiamiFF21 in 2004 when his previous film, Travellers & Magicians, was screened at the Olympia Theater.

In addition to MIFFecito’s slate of premieres, visionary playwright and director Moisés Kaufman will host a special event titled A Conversation with Moisés Kaufman & THE LARAMIE PROJECT Retrospective Screening.The Laramie Project, his landmark 2002 HBO documentary, chronicles the legislative aftermath of gay teen Matthew Shephard’s hate-crime murder. The film, an exposé of intolerance and discrimination which echoes current news from Russia and Africa, offers fresh lessons in the ongoing war. The Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Prevention Act has positively impacted the past five years in the United States. The director will lead a post-screening conversation on the issues, techniques, and engagement his landmark film helped spark. Originally from Caracas, Venezuela, Kaufman is currently in Miami rehearsing for the November debut of Bizet’s Carmen, which is being co-produced by his Tectonic Theater Project.

Producing sponsors of MIFFecito include Ball & Chain Bar & Lounge.

Born in Rio de Janeiro, Rose realized she had the gift of singing at a very early age.

Everyone from her mother’s side was a musician. She is the great-grand daughter of the conductor and composer CUPERTINO DE MENEZES and grand daughter of the guitar player and composer MANUEL DE MENEZES. Cupertino, also a flutist, was a band member of a “choro” group led by Callado Junior and Chiquinha Gonzaga, two of the most prominent musicians from this era. Manuel was partner – in music, adventures and “Bohemia – of the most important Brazilian composer in the early 30’s – Noel Rosa.

She started singing professionally with the OCTETO RIO ORCHESTRA performing jn the musically wealthy nightclub scene of Rio. She studied vocal technique with Graciela di Salerno, Nancy Miranda and Suely Mesquita.

Rose Max performed extensively as a soloist with the vocal group AEQUALE under the direction of acclaimed-musical director ANDRÉ PROTÁSIO. Gaining interest and respect locally, she started working with a number of different bands. One of her best experiences was performing at “CLUBE DO SAMBA” (Samba Club) where she had a chance to learn with some of the big names of Brazilian music, such as Maestro Licinho, Neco, Antonio Carlos Tourinho, João Nogueira, and Roberto Ribeiro. She also started working as a session singer, recording jingles and background vocals, which led to the opportunity of backing up some of Brazil’ s most renowned singers.

Rose moved to Miami in October of 1993, where she has been continuing to grow and develop musically, and by keeping a constant performance schedule, she has become highly recognized in the Brazilian, Hispanic and American communities.

Art Basel, another successful year for the art world by Betty Alvarez

The 2012 edition of Art Basel in Miami Beach officially on December 9. Praised by critics, exhibitors and visitors as Art Basel’s most serious presentation in Miami Beach to date, its galleries across the board reported consistent sales throughout the week.

The show, whose main sponsor is UBS, again attracted 50,000 visitors, generating an attendance of 70,000 over the five show days. Art Basel in Miami Beach was visited by over 130 museum and institution groups from across the world. Renowned private collectors from the Americas, Europe and emerging markets returned, and were joined by new collectors from around the globe.

As Art Basel marked its second decade in Miami Beach, more than 250 leading galleries from 31 countries from North America, Latin America, Europe and Asia presented the highest quality of work at the show, underlining its seriousness. Given a particularly strong representation of Modern material at the show, as well as the entry of a dynamic selection of younger galleries – including nine that were newly accepted to the fair from NADA– visitors explored 11 decades and over 110 years of art history within the Miami Beach Convention Center. Additionally, collaborations with local and international partners ensured a diverse and deep program of art events, from Art Basel Conversations and Art Salon to Art Public, Art Video and Art Film, making this edition a celebration of the artists and their galleries.

For the second year running, Art Public, produced in collaboration with the Bass Museum of Art, turned Collins Park into an outdoor exhibition space with large-scale sculpture, video, installation and live performances. For this year’s edition, the sector’s curator Christine Y. Kim, Associate Curator of Contemporary Art (LACMA) and Co-founder, Los Angeles Nomadic Division (LAND) brought even more complex works to Miami Beach and extended the exhibition space into the sky, across which Dave McKenzie’s airplane carrying a banner offering different marriage proposals every day. A highlight of the week, Art Public Opening Night on December 6 was free and open to the public, offering a program of performances by Jason and Alicia Hall Moran with Brandon Ross, My Barbarian and Alex Israel.

Art Kabinett became one of the talking points of the show for connoisseurs. 20 select galleries from the Art Galleries sector of the show curated exhibitions in separately delineated spaces within their booths. This year’s sector presented work by artists including Fiona Banner (Galerie Barbara Thumm), Chuck Close (Two Palms), Jannis Kounellis (Galerie Lelong), Jorinde Voigt (David Nolan Gallery) and Yan Xing (Galerie Urs Meile), and curated shows on General Idea (Esther Schipper); Jacques Villon, Raymond Duchamp-Villon, Marcel Duchamp, Suzanne Duchamp (Francis M. Naumann Fine Art); and Helio Oiticica and Jarbas Lopes (A Gentil Carioca). For more information please visit artbasel.com/kabinett.

Presentations included: Matt Keegan (Altman Siegel Gallery SF), Pablo Rasgado (Arratia Beer), Nathan Peter (PSM), Leyla Cárdenas (Galería Casas Riegner), Colby Bird (Fitzroy Gallery), Christian Flamm (Galeria Fonti), Felipe Arturo (La Central), Irene Kopelman (Labor), Paulo Vivacqua (Galeria Laura Marsiaj), Julieta Aranda (Galerie mor.charpentier), Atsushi Kaga (Mother’s Tankstation), Asli Cavusoglu (NON Gallery), Ivan Seal (RaebervonStenglin), Andra Ursuta (Ramiken Crucible), Latoya Ruby Frazier (Galerie Michel Rein), and Agustina Woodgate (Spinello Projects).

Also in its second year, Art Video was produced in collaboration with the New World Center and David Gryn of London’s Artprojx. Following its success last year, the free screenings in SoundScape Park on the 7,000-square-foot outdoor projection wall of the Frank Gehry designed building were extended by one additional night of programming and attracted an estimated 1,200 visitors. Showing just over 60 videos, the program was marked by the dusktill- dawn screening of ‘Bliss’ by Ragnar Kjartansson, which was presented in collaboration with MOCA North Miami and the New World Center. For more information please visit artbasel.com/video.

Art Film was again selected by Zurich film connoisseur This Brunner and presented the feature-length documentary film ‘Painters Painting’ (1973) by Emile de Antonio on the New York art scene from 1940 to 1970. For more information please visit artbasel.com/film.

CANCELED Rodez Art Gallery Presents A Book Reading and Signing by Author Maruchi Mendez 10/12/12

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELED.

Rodez Art Gallery Presents A Book Reading and Signing by Author Maruchi Mendez
findinghomeFriday, October 12, 2012, 7 – 10 p.m.
CocoWalk, 3015 Grand Ave. Suite 237
Coconut Grove, FL 33133

Preceded by a Wine & Cheese reception

A Portion of All book and art sales will benefit the Juntos Foundation.

Rodez Art Gallery is proud to present Maruchi Mendez as she reads from and signs her first book, “Finding Home: A Memoir of a Mother’s Undying Love and an Untold Secret.”  Finding Home is a mother’s letter to a most remarkable son, her golden child, the one who left her too soon. It is the true story of Ramiro ”Toti” Mendez, an All-American college baseball player who starred at Florida International University and Miami’s Westminster Christian High School. Toti, whose athletic endeavors graced local headlines, died from an undetected heart condition, without knowing the most important story of his life. This honest memoir is also about untold secrets. Maruchi Mendez never had the chance to explain to Toti about his birth. Toti was born in Asturias, Spain, and illegally adopted by Maruchi and her husband Ramiro, who brought him to the United States. ”How much is the life of a college athlete worth?” Mendez asks. ”Who is watching out for them?” Every year, the college scouting system monitors performance, speed, and GPAs, but it fails to do the same when it comes to their health. Meanwhile, athletes continue to drop dead in tracks and fields by the hundreds across the country. The strides Mendez has achieved in her son’s name are marked by memories and tears. But they reinforce a mother’s love each day and her resolve to tell his story to the world.

About the Author
A dear friend to the gallery owners, Maruchi Mendez lives with her family in Miami, Florida, and is a co-founder of JunTos Foundation, a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to help young patients and their families who fall victim to terminal or life-threatening illnesses.

Igby Goes Down –
Igby Goes Down is a personal tale about a 17 year old misfit boy who copes with his mother’s cancer and his father’s insanity by pursuing relationships with older women. Truly an intellectual, Igby is a modern day Holden Caulfield, and the world he lives in is far removed from the high standards of expectation he holds for it. (Comedy/Drama)

Myra Breckinridge –
Myron Breckinridge is waiting for his sex-change operation while a stoned surgeon stumbles into the operating room. Before the drugged doctor begins Myron’s operation, he counsels him. Myron persists and the doctor goes through with it. An enthusiastic audience observing the operation applauds the medical achievement and rises in a standing ovation. After the operation, Myron arrives in Hollywood as Myra while in the rest of the film Myron pops up from time to time as Myra’s alter ego. Myra goes to an acting academy owned by her uncle, Buck Loner, a former cowboy star. The real reason for Myra’s arrival is to claim her half of Uncle Buck’s estate, which she says she’s entitled to. Buck Loner stalls by giving her a job teaching the history of motion pictures. Buck Loner has several friends. One of them is Letitia Van Allen, an ancient Hollywood talent scout. The sex-starved septuagenarian runs an acting agency “for leading men only.” (Comedy)

Model Profile: Ingrid Suarez

Model Profile: Ingrid Suarez: I carry my own seal of approval. Plenty of aptitude and the attitude to go with it.

Where did “The Suarez” come from??? Her momma, where else?! Actually the last name Suarez was her mother’s maiden name. Which after her untimely death. Ingrid decided to assume it as her own as a way of having her mom’s memory live on. In true Ingrid fashion she has taken this last name to another level.

She has made it possible for those who have yet to meet her, know who she is with just the mention of her name. She wants “The Suarez” to be more than just a name. She wants it to resonate for years to come. “The Suarez” is becoming a Brand and its own entity. Her taste is a diverse as they come. Which is why one day you see her as a Vampire and the next a Pinup Doll. She can be strong and sexy. And subtle and sweet.

There are no limits to her looks or persona, but one thing she is…Unique and Original! Which is why so many people are asking to work with and ask for “The Suarez by name. They want only what she can bring to the table. The Suarez is full of ideas and will always give you her insight. But she is also willing to hear the other person’s. She is an expert in marketing and networking. Her favorite motto is…”One hand washes the other”. And that is exactly what she does with those who do right by her.

She is as professional and loyal as they come! And always expects the same from those she decides to work with and bring into her circle. The Suarez has become synonymous with the very loved and charismatic Cuban Puppet Pepe Billete. She has been in numerous of his videos and there are plans for many more ventures in the Escoria Films camp. She has also joined forces to build and be featured in the skits for “EFFIN-TEE Productions” with Mister Takeover and Francisco Duran(Comedian).

The Suarez has recently added actress and agent to her resume. She is currently in the works of opening her own casting agency. So that she can bring fresh and undiscovered talents upfront and into the spotlight. The Suarez plans on letting her list of experiences and talents grow, there is no plans of her stopping or slowing down. She is a force to be reckoned with, her reach is extensive and very prominent! And her voice is always heard above everything and anything. When The Suarez speaks…people pay attention!

The Suarez has been in the music scene for the last 12 years. From the Breakbeat Days in Orlando, to the House Music scene in Miami. Because of this, she has become great friends with some world famous DJs and even some of the Local Talent. The Suarez’s taste in music is all over the place, she considers herself to be musically promiscuous. But if she were to consider herself as a child of any one genre? It would definitely be for her love of Rock Music.

The Suarez has friends from all walks of life. She will let anyone into her world so long as they keep it as real as she is. She speaks her mind, is blunt, honest, abrasive, and has no problem with letting you know she doesn’t like you. The Suarez is bringing her sexy and no bullshit attitude to the industry. Bitch or not, Love her or Hate her. She is one of the best people you will ever have the privilege meeting. Hopefully one day you will.

So you see…I’m not JUST a Model. There is much more to The Suarez than meets the eye.

The Stage Presents The Hot 8 Brass Band (NOLA), Suénalo (Miami Best Latin Band 2011), Locos Por Juana (Grammy-Nominated) In A Weekend-Long Big Bad Brass Party Celebrating New Orleans And Miami’s Unique Musical Culture

The Big Bad Brass Weekend will feature Miami’s Best ‘Po Boys, Live Painting and
Crowd-Stomping Music

Voted by the Miami New Times as Miami’s Best Live Music Venue, The Stage, announces a weekend-long party celebrating New Orleans and Miami’s unique musical flavorings with NOLA’s The Hot 8 Brass Band, Suénalo (Miami Best Latin Band 2011) and Grammy-Nominated Locos Por Juana. Big Bad Brass Party Weekend at The Stage is sure to delight the senses with musical performances, live painting, drink specials and delicious Cajun culinary delights from The Rum Cake Factory serving up Miami’s Best ‘Po Boys and more.

The Hot 8 Brass Band, a NOLA favorite, is most notably known for their contagious brass infused hip-hop, funk, and jazz and have toured internationally bringing their music and message to the masses. The Hot 8 Brass Band, like all of New Orleans, has had its share of tragedy in the aftermath of Katrina. Hot 8’s work with the Finding Our Folk Tour has brought music to evacuee shelters, temporary trailer parks, and to communities throughout the US that have provided a temporary home to displaced New Orleans’ families. Their efforts were featured on CNN, Nightline, New York Times, HBO and Spike Lee’s Katrina documentary “When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts.” In addition to displacement caused by the storm and subsequent violence and uncertainty contained therein, drummer Dinerral Shavers was shot and killed in late 2006 while driving with his wife and child in New Orleans. In addition, two other members of the band have lost their lives due to violence on the city streets. In response to these tragic setbacks, The Hot 8 Brass Band uses their passion for music and social outreach led to an integral role contributing to the success of the Finding Our Folk Tour.

Joining NOLA’s The Hot 8 Brass Band are two of Miami’s homegrown favorites with Suénalo (Friday) and Locos Por Juana (Saturday) for a Big Bad Brass collision of Miami and New Orleans best big band sounds.

The Rum Cake Factory’s Big Bad Brass Party Menu / Friday and Saturday Only
Miami’s Best ‘Po Boys
Fried Catfish, Shrimp or Chicken in French Bread, Lettuce Tomatoes and Rémoulade
Smoked Chicken Wings
“Mildy smoked, spot-on tasty!”
Rum Cake
Baked Golden Brown and Basted with a Warm Wonderfully Rich Buttered Rum and Walnut Glaze. (Sorry, we already tried to get the recipe by all means. It’s a family secret!)

Don’t let the name fool you; The Rum Cake Factory creates some of the best Cajun food in town. Husband-wife owners and dynamic-duo Larry and Elena Robinson began catering in 2002 with Larry cooking the food he grew up with in Louisiana. The rum cake, his mother’s recipe, took on a life of its own and remains the signature item at the couple’s cozy little North Miami Beach shop. But we’re putting the dessert in front of the fine Cajun/soul-food specialties. Like fried shrimp or catfish in baskets or the same cleanly fried items in po’boys made on soft French bread shipped in from New Orleans. Fried turkey and pulled pork get stuffed into po’boys with their delicious rémoulade sauce, and don’t miss the smoked chicken wings — crisp, mildly smoked, and juicy. Jambalaya and delectable barbecue ribs make it as blackboard specials during the week, and if you’re lucky, you’ll catch the peerless gumbo. More information at www.therumcakefactory.com. The Rum Cake Factory is located at 2075 NE 163rd St. in North Miami Beach.

FREE
www.new-theatre.org

Winter, by playwright Robert Caisley, will have a FREE play reading, under the direction of THE NEW’s Literary Manager Steven Chambers. This reading will be a ‘sneak peek’ at the play in advance of our full production of Winter during the 2011-2012 season.

In the script, what begins as a scheduling ‘headache’ – arranging for the funeral of fraternal twins Peter and Christina Winter’s recently deceased mother – evolves into an all-out blood feud between the siblings and their mother’s mysterious young live-in assistant.

Mr. Caisley, whose work Kissing was a part of our 2008-2009 season, is an Associate Professor of Theatre and Head of the Dramatic Writing program at the University of Idaho. His work has been produced around the U.S. and internationally. He was recently named the 2011 Blaine Quarnstrom Playwright in Residence at Mississippi Southern University. His collection Santa Fe and Other Short Plays was recently published by Innisfree Media.
Mr. Caisley will be in attendance for the reading.

The Passing Opening Reception at Calix Gustav Gallery 7/10/10

“The Passing” Opening Reception TONIGHT

July 10, 2010 at 07:00 PM-to- 10:00 PM

Jovan Karlo Villalba, Death of an Art Studio, 2010, oil on canvas, 60″ x 48″

Calix Gustav Gallery is pleased to present its upcoming exhibition The Passing, taking place on Saturday, July 10, 2010 through September 1st, 2010. The exhibition’s reception will take place at the gallery located in the Wynwood Arts District at 98 NW 29th Street, from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m on Saturday, July 10, 2010.

The Passing as the fleeting of time, new seasons and new beginnings represents a rebirth. This resurgence is only accomplished with the understanding of life; it’s meaning and its hardships. Ecuadorian-born artist, Jovan Karlo Villalba

Colombian-born artist, Catalina Jaramillo creates an installation that deals with issues raised upon both separation from her partner and her mother’s death. The installation celebrates the obsessive tendencies that some manifest with their loss and grief, it is an accumulation of the memories and objects left behind at times of loss. In reviving those who we’ve lost we learn to accept life’s realities and thus, learn to move on and accept our destiny. The Installation will combine aspects of performance, video, photography, and sculpture.

Sculptor Richard Herzog examines parts of society and nature trying to bring awareness to these elements hoping to alter the viewer’s perceptions and make them look at things differently and consider the world they live in. The sculptures are a combination of a systematic organization of natural forms possessing a chaotic multi-layered visual effect mimicking our world, dominated by its rapid pace and over stimulation. creates cinematic paintings featuring visions of sweeping cataclysmic events. The increasing threat of man-made devastation in forms of biological and nuclear warfare, environmental catastrophe and economic ruin, in conjunction with their magnified portrayal in the media, has created an onslaught of social alarm and has subversively woven feelings of doom into the fabric of present-day life in America.

The Passing will run from July 10, 2010 through September 1st, 2010. Regular gallery visiting hours are from Tuesday to Saturday from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. For more information visit www.calixgustav.com.
