The Friendship Circle of Chabad of South Broward is preparing the 33rd Annual South Florida Chanukah Festival Featuring The 8th Day Band at Gulfstream Park & Casino

The 33rd Annual South Florida Chassidic Chanukah Festival is getting bigger and better. Considering that over 10,000 people have participated each year since the event was moved to Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach back in 2007, the staff and volunteers preparing the upcoming Festival set for Thursday, December 13th, have coordinated a star studded program that will guarantee the biggest attendance ever. The crowd will be even bigger than last year, as tens of thousands of tourists, in love with Jewish Music, are expected that week in South Florida.

8th Day Band will be the featured entertainment.

8th Day, which was co-founded by brothers Shmuel and Bentzi Marcus, is quickly becoming one of Jewish Music’s hottest acts. The group has released four studio albums that get air play regularly on the radio in New York and Israel.

They have played hundreds of shows across the globe, including in: Lincoln Center in New York, American Airlines Arena in Miami,Universal Studios Citywalk in Hollywood, Hong Kong, Toronto, Spain, Chicago and many more.

8th Day’s fresh and unique sound is complimented by their catchy lyrics(mostly English with some Hebrew and Yiddish mixed in) and their spirited vocal harmonies. Their mega YouTube hit “Ya’alili” was rated one of the top singles in Israel in 2011 and most watched Jewish Music Video in Israel, the US and Australia in 2011.

Their most recent release “All You Got”, was released in June of 2012, and has been critically acclaimed worldwide.

The Festival takes place in Hallandale Beach, at Gulfstream Park, US1 and Hallandale Beach Blvd.The event is annually produced and directed by Chabad of South Broward, leaders in Jewish Education, social services and community outreach.
Last year, the Chanukah Festival was seen live around the world via Jewish TV @ Chabad.org. It was the most watched Live Jewish TV Show in 2010 & 2011. People from across the globe, from the Ukraine to Israel, from South America to Australia, were fixed to their screens for the three hour Chanukah production that warmed so many hearts and inspired so many souls.

The Festival will honor the Friendship Circle, a program with 87 branches worldwide, that caters to children with special needs, who are teamed up with local teenagers. These teenagers serve as volunteers and friends of these children with special needs.

“Craters” rises from the thought that as people move away from their natural environments, so does their understanding of life. In pursuit of encouraging the viewer to reconsider their world, Zimmerer explores the Earth by re-imagining the American wilderness, unfamiliar lands and the ways in which humans might live if they were closer to their roots.

According to the artist, the world most of us face every day is distant from the world we would face without civilization. Our progression to industrialization and the age of computers has enabled man’s accomplishments to flourish. At the same time, while technology provides endless benefits to society, it also triggers a detachment from our roots.

Delving into the poetics of landscape portraiture, Zimmerer’s photographs take the viewer through a journey where the natural cohabits with the humane in almost strange ways, restarting the imaginative past and turning it into a present opportunity to let go, fantasize and reconsider about what we aren’t anymore.

At the end, “Craters” explores the notions of space, land and their direct relationship with our position in this ancient planet, and wonders if humans in nature are an antiquated manner or do we need that relationship more than we have thought?

“Craters” will be open to the public on Thursday, December 6th from 6:00 to 10 pm at 310 NW 24th. St. Miami, FL 33127 (Wynwood Art District). The second opening night will take place during “Art Walk” on Saturday, December 8th. The show will end on February 2nd, 2013.

The studio of Enrique Martínez Celaya will be open for an informal brunch to unveil several monumental works he has created for his upcoming solo show at SITE Santa Fe. This is a rare opportunity to see several key elements of what will be an unprecedented museum-wide installation that Martínez Celaya is creating for SITE next summer. For these new works, which include two large-scale paintings, and two massive sculptures, the artist has relied on readings on the nature of memory and on his own biography to create a world that belongs to the imagination of children and which juxtaposes sadness and melancholia against fantasy.

Oh Game Lords, how we have missed thee.

I can barely recall the nights I spent inebriated beyond belief, stumbling into the pool fully clothed, playing flip cup and spin the bottle and who knows what happened after everyone blacked out.

Now, right smack in the middle of White Party, Game Lords returns for a one night only reunion extravaganza.

Expect the usual debauchery, people getting naked, bitches getting arrested, randoms getting tossed in the pool and all that jazz.

Erica Fickling, a.k.a Vanna Black, and I will be there to lead everyone in the usual ridiculousness. Expect Nefariousgirl and 8MTS to be wandering around also, capturing every scandalous moment.

Spin the Bottle? yup. Truth or Dare? why not. Lex and I will for sure be getting a Kings Cup (Circle of Death) game going. It’s a party that gives everyone a perfectly good excuse to be bad, which is just fine by us, because we’re all so good at being bad.

See you there suckers,

The Prince of Darkness, The Kid.

Hugo –
Hugo is an orphan boy living in the walls of a train station in 1930s Paris. He learned to fix clocks and other gadgets from his father and uncle which he puts to use keeping the train station clocks running. The only thing that he has left that connects him to his dead father is an automaton (mechanical man) that doesn’t work without a special key which Hugo needs to find to unlock the secret he believes it contains. On his adventures, he meets with a shopkeeper, George Melies, who works in the train station and his adventure-seeking god-daughter. Hugo finds that they have a surprising connection to his father and the automaton, and he discovers it unlocks some memories the old man has buried inside regarding his past. (Adventure/Drama/Family/Mystery

War Horse –
Dartmoor,1914: To his wife’s dismay farmer Narracott buys a thoroughbred horse rather than a plough animal, but when his teenaged son Albert trains the horse and calls him Joey, the two becoming inseparable. When his harvest fails, the farmer has to sell Joey to the British cavalry and he is shipped to France where, after a disastrous offensive he is captured by the Germans and changes hands twice more before he is found, caught in the barbed wire in No Man’s Land four years later and freed. He is returned behind British lines where Albert, now a private, has been temporarily blinded by gas, but still recognizes his beloved Joey. However, as the Armistice is declared Joey is set to be auctioned off. After all they have been through will Albert and Joey return home together? (Drama/War)

Unforgivable Blackness (Parts 1 & 2)
The story of Jack Johnson, the first African American Heavyweight boxing champion. Ken Burns has done an amazing documentary on the life of Jack Johnson -but even more amazing is the story he tells of the times in which Johnson lived. There is still racism in this country, for sure – one wants to believe that at least in most parts of the country, it is a little more circumspect than racism was during Johnson’s life. This documentary provides a truly astounding look at this country at the beginning of the century, and a lot of it is unattractive. Johnson, called “The Ethiopian,” could not go after the heavyweight title because the white fighters swore no black man would ever have it. When he finally did get it, Jim Jefferson, the undefeated champion, who had refused to fight Johnson, was dragged out of retirement 10 years and 100 pounds later to try to reclaim the title. He failed, and commented that in his prime, he could never have beat Johnson. In his belief system, Johnson came up against a contemporary, Booker T. Washington, who believed that, rather than worry about segregation, blacks should build a power, education, and money base first. Johnson preferred to live as if segregation did not exist. He lived in white neighborhoods, moved his mother into one, flaunted his money, and consorted with white women. His quest for individualism cost him dearly. He bucked a system that simply would not stand for it. This is a fascinating piece of our history, one that should not be missed. (Documentary/Biography/Short)

Black Magic –
Examines Civil Rights-era America through the prism of basketball at historically black colleges and universities. At its heart, Black Magic is a civil rights movie and Klores uses brutal footage to show the history of American discrimination and violence against blacks in all aspects of their lives. These civil rights pioneers and sports stars tells us their heart-wrenching stories of violence, prejudice and poverty living in the Jim Crow South. Klores also reminds us that racism and oppression wasn’t just limited to the South. Their tales are funny, sad, and inspiring. Some players overcome their humble beginnings and have successful careers despite discrimination, others aren’t as lucky. Klores is a wonderful story-teller. He weaves rare footage with personal testimonies and hits the archives to show us documents and photos that give us the insider’s view of this world. Narrators Samuel L. Jackson and Wynton Marsalis help frame the story and illuminate the racist historical context. Their passion for the topic shines throughout the film. (Documentary)

Red Tails –
The 332nd Fighter Group, an all-black World War II unit made up of the best escort pilots and known as the Red Tails, fights racism at home while fighting the Nazis abroad in this action-packed drama based on the true story of the Tuskegee Airmen. The movie also looks a little bit at the men, as individuals. We get to know some of their strengths, weakness, dreams. One doesn’t follow directions, and is highly aggressive fighter. One is captured by the Germans. One drinks whiskey. A couple die, due to combat injuries. One is badly injured, and sent home. The pilots finally get a more responsible assignment, do well, and then are given more responsible assignments. The end of the movie is the unit getting recognition for a job well done.

Seminole Casino Coconut Creek Unveils Designated Parking Spaces for Disabled American Veterans with “Black Hawk Down” Inspiration Michael Durant 11/19/12

Seminole Casino Coconut Creek Unveils Designated Parking Spaces for Disabled American Veterans with “Black Hawk Down” Inspiration Michael Durant

Just one week after Veteran’s Day was observed across the nation, Seminole Casino Coconut Creek is proud to unveil special designated parking areas for Disabled American Veterans (DAV) on Monday, November 19 at 10 a.m. The covered parking spaces will be located on the third level of the new environmentally friendly garage featuring solar energy and green technology.

The ceremony will include several special guest speakers, including Broward County Commissioner Chip LaMarca, DAV of Vietnam and former Commander Chapter 133 Chuck McLaughlin, as well as the man whose life inspired the best-selling book and Academy Award-winning film “Black Hawk Down,” Michael Durant. Following the heartfelt presentation, the award-winning Fresh Harvest will provide a mouthwatering and nutritious meal to numerous invited veterans in gratitude of their patriotism and service.

Durant served in the United States Army 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment Airborne, known as the “Night Stalkers,” and was the pilot of a Black Hawk helicopter that was fired upon and subsequently crashed during a combat operation in Somalia in 1993. After a street battle, he was captured and held prisoner for 11 days and was badly injured. The events were recounted in Mark Bowden’s book “Black Hawk Down” and Ridley Scott’s movie of the same name. Durant has since turned his experiences into a powerful story of survival and inspiration for all as a renowned speaker and New York Times best-selling author of “In the Company of Heroes” and “The Night Stalkers.”

“Seminole Casino Coconut Creek is committed to supporting and giving back to those who have served our country,” said Steve Bonner, President of Seminole Casino Coconut Creek. “There are many veterans in our community, and we are proud to dedicate these special parking spaces solely to them in honor of their service.”

The 1.2 million-member DAV is a non-profit 501(c)(4) charity dedicated to building better lives for America’s disabled veterans and their families. The DAV was founded in 1920 by disabled veterans returning from World War I to represent their unique interests. The DAV’s Voluntary Services Program operates a comprehensive network of volunteers who provide veterans free rides to and from medical facilities and improve care and morale for sick and disabled veterans.

DAV members provide grassroots advocacy and services in communities nationwide. From educating lawmakers and the public about important issues, to supporting services and legislation to help disabled veterans, the DAV is there to promote its message of hope to all who have served and sacrificed.

O. ASCANIO GALLERY ANNOUNCES END-OF-YEAR EXHIBIT

A hub for Latin American and European modern and contemporary art, O. Ascanio Gallery will exhibit world-renowned greats alongside burgeoning artists who are transforming the art world

Miami, FL – O. Ascanio Gallery in Miami’s Wynwood Arts District will have an opening reception for Aesthetic Perfection at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, November 20. The collective exhibit, which runs from November 20 – December 31, 2012, features the works of established and emerging artists in a variety of media.

For his Art Basel-inspired exhibit, gallery owner Oscar Ascanio looks to attract art aficionados and collectors from around the globe by showing the works of Op and Kinetic art masters and newer artists who are exploring and transforming the world of contemporary arts. The twelve featured artists are: Jesus Soto, Carlos Cruz-Diez, Alejandro Otero, Victor Vasarely, Bernar Venet, Agostino Bonalumi, Victor Lucena, Hester, Jorge Blanco, Carlos Cabeza, Nanin and Francisco Salazar.

Jesus Soto, Carlos Cruz-Diez, Alejandro Otero, Victor Vasarely, Bernar Venet and Agostino Bonalumi are luminaries synonymous with Op and Kinetic art. A visionary, Ascanio is confident that newer artists such as Victor Lucena, Hester, Jorge Blanco, Carlos Cabeza, Francisco Salazar and Nanin will revolutionize the contemporary art world.

“The newer works represent an avant-garde generation of artists who are going beyond commonly accepted boundaries and creating a new realm of art, while redefining traditional aesthetics,” said Ascanio.

Added Ascanio: “Art Basel allows us to appreciate different art movements that are occurring simultaneously throughout the world. And through this exhibition, I want to do the same on a smaller scale.”

Each one of the artists featured in Aesthetic Perfection have created their own artistic, beautiful language through a host of mediums, which together, compose an electic expression of contemporary art.

Visitors will experience a visual feast with Cruz-Diez’s mysterious and changing chromatic spectrums, Soto’s magical compositions, Bonalumi’s and Otero’s subtle monochromatic masterpieces and will be awestruck by Vasarely’s geometric precision.

Photography by Hester explores the inter-reliant relationship between man and construction, construction and the environment and the unintentional emotional response to the design process. Nanin’s works create a musical language intertwined with time and space. And Carlos Cabeza’s stream-of-conscious modality creates movement through curved, ebbless sequential patterns that often showcase the female form.

Ascanio is an accomplished gallerist, artist manager, publisher and collector. He began his art career at the age of 17, while apprenticing with Alfredo Boulton. And in 1974 he co-launched Ediciones Macanao, a publishing company he formed with Boulton and Cruz Diez.

O. Ascanio Gallery is located at 2600 NW Second Ave in the Wynwood Arts District. For more information visit www.oascaniogallery.com.

Join the “celebration” and ring in 2013 with Kool and the Gang at The Pavilion at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek on Thursday, December 31 starting at 10:30 p.m. The beloved band will be playing all of South Florida fans favorites throughout the night, up until the ball drops at midnight.

Comprised of Khalis Bayyan and his brother Robert “Kool” Bell joined by Robert “Spike” Mickens, Dennis “Dee Tee” Thomas, Ricky Westfield, George Brown and Charles Smith, Kool and the Gang created a unique musical blend of jazz, soul and funk. The group solidified their musical chemistry early on by supporting acts like Bill Cosby, Ritchie Havens and Richard Pryor.

Their self-titled 1969 debut album introduced their signature instrumental sound and fierce horn arrangements, spawning their first Billboard R&B charted single, “Kool and the Gang,” and later “Let the Music Take Your Mind.” Their audacious sophomore set Live at the Sex Machine peaked at number six on Billboard’s R&B chart and yielded three hit singles, “Funky Man,” “Who’s Gonna Take the Weight” and “I Want to Take You Higher.”

The band’s stellar reputation grew with each album, and 1973’s gold disc Wild & Peaceful took Kool and the Gang to another level, spurring the immortal party anthems “Funky Stuff,” “Hollywood Swinging” and the platinum smash “Jungle Boogie.” Kool and the Gang saw continued success with the smashes “Open Sesame,” “Get Down On It,” “Take My Heart,” “Let’s Go Dancing,” “Cherish,” and “Fresh,” all helping to solidify the groups’ international stardom.

Kool and the Gang has sold over 70 million albums worldwide and influenced the music of three generations. The group has earned two Grammy Awards, seven American Music Awards, 25 Top Ten R&B hits, nine Top Ten Pop hits and 31 gold and platinum albums to date.

Tickets start at $90* and are available at www.ticketmaster.com. *Additional fees may apply

About Matachos Art

Oscar Reyes nace en Cali, Colombia en 1970. desde temprana edad debido a motivos familiares, cambia frecuentemente de país, teniendo así en su época de formación muchas posibilidades de interactuar con diferentes culturas, despertando en él fascinación por los diferentes tipos de personalidades.
Desde muy joven, dibujaba bosquejos que sólo dejaba a lápiz y que además sólo mostraban la mitad del ro
stro, siempre haciendo énfasis en que todos tenemos un lado oculto que hace parte fundamental de lo que somos.

En el 2002, radicado en Miami, sus diseños encuentran de la mano de Isabel Estrada color, logrando por medio de esta alianza la creación de MATACHOS ART.

Isabel Estrada nacida en Cali, Colombia en 1977, desde muy niña se caracteriza por su favoritismo al arte, el cual la hace viajar a Mexico en busca de oportunidades y educación. Este país, lleno de color y folklore junto con su cultura natal, le dan la inspiración para llenar de alegría y magia los diseños de Oscar, creando así una maravillosa fusión.

De una manera creativa, alegre, probando diferentes tipos de trazos y texturas, y llegando a una aceptación del producto en el medio se ha ido desarrollando MATACHOS ART.

About Attila Lakatoush

Ravish femme fatales full of passion, power and pride and exuding self-assurance and worldly knowledge
, these are Attila’s women. Women who know what they want and how to get it, women who control their own destiny. Attila has the ability to capture and dramatize his subjects’ inner sensuality and vulnerability while leaving no question as to who is in charge.

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 and working with such visionaries as Claude Montane, Vivienne Westwood, John Richmond, And Cynthia Rowly.

Intense and stylized portraits of powerful and seductive women have always been his trademark. Reminiscent of 40’s film icons like Jennifer Jones, Maria Felix, Hedy Lamarr, Marilyn Monroe, Rita Hayworth, Jean Simmons and Eva Gardner. These glamorous women are not the girls next door. Attila paints the mega-diva, strong willed and dramatic ladies who understand what it means to be a woman. They know how to use their wiles how to dress and act well, how to carry themselves with coexisting strength and femininity. Attila’s clients are today’s divas. A list that includes philanthropist/socialites Dorythia Green, actress Lucy Liu, actress Debbie Mazar, Super Model Linda Evangelista, Legend Eartha Kitt, Singer Kylie Minogue, International Super Star Joey Arias, Susanne Bartsch, Patricia Fields and Princess Anisha Sabnani.

Attila has also begun to create images that capture the male image in its masculine form, full of raw virile strength and dominant sexual energy.

Attila’s views on the art are simple yet powerful, classic yet open minded and thoroughly focused on accessibility. He not only does commissioned pieces but has original works and limited edition lithographs on display at his own gallery (Attila Lakatoush Art & Design Studio) in the heart of Miami’s Art District and via the internet.

DOUBLETREE BY HILTON “LITTLE THINGS PROJECT” PARTNERS WITH SHARE OUR STRENGTH’S NO KID HUNGRY® CAMPAIGN TO ENCOURAGE LITTLE ACTS THAT MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE THIS HOLIDAY SEASON

Miami residents and travelers alike invited to get a cookie, take a pledge
and help end childhood hunger at nationwide pop-up event experience

WHEN:
Thursday, November 15
11:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

WHERE:
Bayside Marketplace (By Main Entrance Flag Area)
401 Biscayne Boulevard
Bayside Marketplace
Miami, FL 33132

WHAT:
As the DoubleTree by Hilton Little Things Project travels across the country to ask people the “little things” that would make a difference when they travel and surprise consumers with some of those “little things,” this holiday season the brand is offering people a chance to give a little something back. DoubleTree has partnered with Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry® campaign to encourage little acts that make a big difference to help end child hunger. As part of the nationwide tour, for every person who attends a Little Things Project tour event between November 1 and November 30 and takes the Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry® pledge, DoubleTree by Hilton will donate $1 to the No Kid Hungry® campaign*.

Anyone unable to attend the events in person can visit www.facebook.com/doubletree and take the pledge on the Little Things Project tab. One dollar can help connect a child to up to 10 meals.

GIVE A LITTLE, GET A LITTLE
In addition to helping connect children in need to meals and help end childhood hunger, event attendees will get a few “little things” that consumers told us would make traveling a bit brighter, such as:
•Free DoubleTree by Hilton signature chocolate chip cookies – our brand’s legendary icon for warm and welcoming service;
•Free WiFi lounge and Plug-In station where visitors can take a moment to charge cell phones and more;
•Local deals and offers, to provide locals and travelers exclusive bargains while they’re traveling in the city; in Miami, event-goers will receive discount coupons to Jungle Island, Miami’s zoological, interactive theme park, plus $5 Holiday Gift Cards from Publix (while supplies last);
•And DoubleTree by Hilton will continue to listen and deliver those “little things” event attendees are telling us would brighten their days as the tour makes its way from city to city.

In addition to the event experience, Little Things Project ambassadors will be driving a “Swarm Car” throughout the city, asking travelers via Twitter what “little things” would make their holiday travel brighter and surprising some lucky people by fulfilling their request. Need a few supplies for your Thanksgiving Day gathering? A little help covering those pesky airline baggage fees? Consumers can tweet to @DoubleTree with their requests using #LittleThings for the Swarm Car to turn their request into a reality.

People can also follow the journey and submit new “little things” by visiting the DoubleTree by Hilton Facebook Page. Here people can also enter the Little Things Project Sweepstakes to win instant prizes and a $25,000 dream vacation getaway. Additionally, consumers can get an inside peek at tour stops through Instagram using #LittleThings, as well as follow the tour on Twitter (www.twitter.com/doubletree) and YouTube (www.youtube.com/doubletreehotels).

WHY:
DoubleTree by Hilton believes it’s the “little things” that add up to make a great travel experience. The concept isn’t new to DoubleTree by Hilton, which strives to offer the little things that mean everything at more than 300 hotel destinations in 25 countries worldwide.

Since January, the DoubleTree by Hilton Little Things Project has created conversations with travelers via Twitter and Facebook, asking what “little things” would make their travel experience better. Based on responses from over 5,000 consumers – and counting – DoubleTree by Hilton will provide each community with some of the “little things” they requested. Travelers and the general public may visit each tour stop and enjoy the “little things” – or just take a moment to relax from the day’s activities.

WHO:
The Little Things Project team and Miami DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel team members.

*DoubleTree will donate $1 to the No Kid Hungry campaign for every pledge taken between November 1 and November 30th, up to a maximum of $25,000. Gifts made to Share Our Strength and the No Kid Hungry Campaign represent a gift to our organizational mission and will be used to reach the highest number of children facing hunger in America. Share Our Strength does this by combining your gift with others to address child hunger community by community, state by state. Your gift will leverage the time, expertise, and additional funds needed to end childhood hunger once and for all.

“Never say goodbye because goodbye means going away and going away means forgetting”. J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan

MANO Fine Art is proud to present Faded Memory: A Tribute to Operation Pedro Pan with works by Humberto Calzada, MANO and Victoria Montoro Zamorano.

Faded Memory is an artistic tribute to Operation Pedro Pan, the 14,000 + Cuban children who were sent to the United States to avoid Castro’s political mandate, the parents who sacrificed and the many that made it possible
. Without question, their story is one of strength, courage and inspiration.

The artists in Faded Memory point to new bodies of work that reflect the myriad of sentiments tied to the heart-wrenching experience of Operation Pedro Pan. MANO’s poignant black and white canvases of children at an airport provoke a sense of lost childhood while Montoro-Zamorano’s brilliant photos of Cuba give way to memories of home and Calzada’s “Havana in Progress” prompts us to the reality of Cuba today.

Collectively, the exhibit beautifully restores a sense of hope and belonging and reminds the viewer that going away does not mean forgetting.

October 23, 2012 marked the 50th anniversary of the last Pedro Pan flight.

About the Pedro Pan Exodus:
Operation Pedro Pan was a program created in response to the thousands of parents in Cuba who feared for their children’s future under Castro. The program provided an opportunity to send Cuban children to the United States (primarily Miami) and avoid political indoctrination and forced encampment. Between 1960 and 1962 over 14,000 children left Cuba alone, most were between the ages of ten and sixteen but some were as young as four years old. October 23, 2012 marked the 50th anniversary of the last Pedro Pan flight. To date Operation Pedro Pan remains the largest exodus of unaccompanied children in the Western Hemisphere.

Join us December 1st at Group-X-Fit as we showcase local photographer James Woodley.

London born James Woodley moved to Miami in 2009. He found his new challenge in photography with a new skyline and available natural lighting, the subject matter and backdrop to produce images that matched as close as possible to his imagination.

in the fast pace of Miami he realized his passion was freezing motion & action with a camera, to capture things that happen in the blink of an eye. Moments that happen too quickly too see, yet are too important to miss.

He also developed a fascination with people in his street photography. The ability to immortalize someone in an image is a powerful one, but to capture them when they’re not aware they are being seen. When they are natural, their pose and expression unaffected by the camera and its ability to heighten the feeling of self-consciousness.

The aim of his work is to show us the beauty in what we usually fail to see as the world rushes by us.

The collaborative collection includes 5 paintings where Paredes has incorporated his style on Cutrone’s animated pieces of famed characters like Woody the Woodpecker and Felix the Cat. The two have also joined forces to re-imagine Cutrone’s most prized series of works the “Supermodels Suite” by combining different styles such as Street, Pop, and Anime. The series was created in 1997 and features top models from the era such as Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Elle McPherson and Claudia Schiffer and will be on display in Miguel Paredes Gallery during Art Basel, priced at $10,000 and up.

The kick-off event vernissage, to launch the “New, Used & Abused,” 2012 exhibit will be on December 5th from 8-11 pm, with a ‘throw-back’ feeling of 1980’s New York City,” the time and place when both Paredes and Cutrone were honing their crafts.

Casuso is a Cuban-American artist based in Miami.
With its origins in mainstream craft, his work involves
a deliberate shift from decorative home-based crafts to
conceptual works of art. His medium is a combination
of products, fiber and thrift store goods, handled in a
nostalgic way that shows layers of labor, representing
the ephemeral nature of our lives and the transitory
nature of value.

Contradance is a style of American, partnered folk dancing that originated in New England and is now found around the world. At most dances, a live band plays traditional songs and a caller leads participants through the dances. There’s no need to bring a partner as most folks come singly but couples and families are welcome. Contradance is easy to learn, there’s instruction about 30 minutes before every dance, it’s flirtatious, high-paced, energetic and active – come ready to get a workout. Most folks will be a little confused at first but they learn quickly and have fun from the beginning.

Music at this dance is by a great Contradance band Southern Atlantic Muse.

Admissions: Free

Tonight we are presenting three musicians from Miami and New York performing on guitars, bass and electronics. Federico Bonacossa’s curiosity about the current guitar lead him to create a national call for works. Out of 100 submissions, Bonacossa selected 4 finalists. Kyong Mee Choi’s It only needs to be seen (one of the selected pieces that is presented tonight) was inspired by the Steve Hagen’s saying, “Truth does not need any explanation. It only needs to be seen. The only way we can be free in each moment is to become what the moment is.” Choi wants the  audience to experience being in the moment through the stream of sound that does not need any explanation but only needs to be heard. Bonacossa’s Sequitur VIII will feature a canonic layering of real-time audio processing in MAX/MSP. The Miami-based up-and-coming bassist and composer Kyle Motle will join Bonacossa in Tragos for double bass and live electronics that explores scratch tones and open strings. Bryan Jacobs’s Trigger will investigate the idea of presets in music. In fact, there are as many triggered presets as there are notes in this work! Compact Scecenes will feature Jacobs on guitar while operating fixed and live electronics. “This piece has a little to do with Milli Vanilli mouthing the words and a little to do with extending the acoustic tradition.”BJ

Coconut Creek, Florida 33073

Three Dog Night, one of the most successful American bands of the ‘60s and ‘70s, will bring “joy to the world” on Saturday, January 5, 2013 at 8 p.m. at The Pavilion at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek.

Founding members and vocalists Cory Wells and Danny Hutton, original keyboardist Jimmy Greenspoon and guitarist Michael Allsup, as well as bassist Paul Kingery and drummer Pat Bautz will perform their beloved hits, plus some amazing new songs, sure to be enjoyed by South Florida Fans of all ages.

With their distinctive and sometimes extraordinary harmonic blend, the group became a sensation and their hits appeared on best-selling charts in multiple genres, including pop, rock and country. Boasting chart and sales records that are virtually unmatched in popular music, Three Dog Night had an impressive 21 consecutive Billboard Top 40 hits, including three number one singles, “Mama Told Me (Not to Come),” which was also a Top 10 hit in the United Kingdom, “Joy to the World,” and “Black and White.” Coincidentally, each one featured a different lead singer.

Three Dog Nights’ version of John Lennon and Paul McCartney’s ‘’It’s For You’’ typified the band at their best, but it was their original arrangements of the work of lesser-known writers that brought welcome exposure and considerable royalties to fresh talent. The group recorded the music of the best new songwriters of their time, including Harry Nilsson (“One”), Randy Newman (“Mama Told Me (Not to Come)”), Elton John (“Lady Samantha” and “Your Song”), Laura Nyro (“Eli’s Coming”), Paul Williams (“An Old Fashioned Love Song”) and Hoyt Axton (“Joy to the World”) among many others. The band was noted for its creative arrangements and interpretations, and their cover choices gave exposure to several of these talented songwriters.

As they mark more than 40 years of extraordinary music and touring on the road, Three Dog Nights’ records continue to sell around the world, reaching beyond the borders of the U.S. into Japan, Canada, Holland, England, Germany, Spain and more.

Tickets start at $40* and are available at www.ticketmaster.com. *Additional fees may apply

YURI TUMA

Garden Your Mind

To explain my work I first have to explain what confusion means to me. I see confusion as the amount of time our mind spends on being undecided between infinite choices in an uncertain moment! I see my artistic journey as “Confusion Study”. Most of my work is derived from that inspiration and desire to study the transitory moment between uncertainty and knowledge. For the past 4 years I have been exploring shapes and textures through photography applying digitally only a mirror image technique. They provide me with an accessible tool to communicate with and explore the mind.

So far, my “Confusion Study” has had three different approaches, resulting into three different photographical “series” or “collections”; titled as following: “Roof Less”, “Garden” and “Metropolis”.

The “Garden” Series is a collection of natural subjects transformed into abstract subjects. The mind, if taken care of as one would care for their garden, can reach infinity, for a garden is forever in growth (if unobstructed). These photographical creations are meant to promote a new mindset: “To Garden Your Mind”, a mindset of awareness development and infinite perceptions!

In the “Metropolis” and “Roof Less” Series I use designs formed through architectural textures in order to present a different way to perceive city-like structures. The inspiration usually comes from shapes, colors and materials. Just as in “Garden”, these two series reflect a mindset of cultivating a different way to receive information.

Miami, Florida 33127

The Art Place Wynwood, presents Visual Dialogue, a showcase of 12 artists during ART BASEL WEEK 2012. Exhibitions runs from December 1 – 17th, 2012. The gallery is hosting an Opening Reception on Wednesday, December 5th, 6-9 PM.

Director, Danilo Gonzalez, has this to say about “Visual Dialogue”.

“When I arrived in the Wynwood Art District four years ago the future of Wynwood was far from certain. Today, we see that the Art District is at a crucial point in its development process. My position as both an artist and a gallery director has provided me an unique perspective on these changes. I have witnessed the area transform itself into the interesting and stylish community that it is today. This has given me the opportunity to work with international artists such as Sara Roitman, the impressive photographer from Ecuador; Ada Balcacer, Eliu Almonte and Grimaldy Polanco from the Dominican Republic; extraordinary German expressionist Horst Kohem; and established artist, Delia Solari from Argentina.

Wynwood has attracted Florida talents too, including sculptor, Deborah Gregg, environmentally conscious painter, Molly Bo, painter and spacial designer Debra Yates, abstract painter, Lauren Fogg and prominent artist, Carol Fryd. It is obvious that the Wynwood Art District has become a meeting point in the global art community for artists and art appreciators alike. I am proud to present “Visual Dialogues,” an exhibition whose objective is to expose the interconnection between different generations and the perspective of each artist that are connected yet different.

Together we are carving a space in the art world for the future of Wynwood.”

On November 9th, The InterContinental at Doral Miami is hosting its November Kickoff Cocktail featuring local sculptor, William Calvo, as part of its 2012 Artist Series. This month’s event will have an international flavor.
This month’s artist, William Calvo, is a Colombian-born sculptor whose work reflects a sense of strain by incorporating two contrasting aspects simultaneously: silence and the will to speak. His sculptures also reflect how human beings must struggle to comprehend, digest, and react to devastating violence like events that have clawed and ripped their way across Colombia, his homeland, over the past few decades.
This year was an important year in the trade and international arena between South Florida and Colombia, as the Free-Trade Agreement went into effect and Colombia is already South Florida’s #3 trade partner. This month’s Artist Series event will reflect how trade between countries is not just about hard goods, but human capital as well. Influential Colombians in the community will be recognized and the featured artist will present a sculpture to the Consul General of Colombia at the event as well.

It’s about that time again:

Let’s face it, most of us can’t hang with the De La Cruz’s and Rubells of the world. We’re resigned to putting up our kids’ work on the fridge or buying some not-horrible mass produced Target art to decorate our homes.

NO MORE!!

Come out to Yo Space and aside from having a good time playing ping pong on our custom table, smoking hookah, and/or hobnobbing, check out some great works by local artists.

We’ll have a fresh batch of artists in the house along with our Resident Artists, selling everything from original works, to limited edition prints, and merchandise (Apparel, accessories, and more). The best part? We’re capping the selling price at $250 per item. You can walk away with an original piece of art to brighten up your place or to offer as an amazing unique gift for less than the price of an iPod.
(Disclaimer: Resident Artists may have more expensive work in their studios)

Free Thanksgiving-themed Concerts for Kids

Miami Shores, Florida 33138

Orchestra Miami is pleased to continue its series of Free Family Concerts designed to introduce young children to classical music. Tough Turkey in the Big City: A Thanksgiving Odyssey, by Bruce Adolphe and Louise Gikow, will be a treat for the whole family! Perfect for the attention spans of our young audience, this fun and engaging program will last approximately 45 minutes.

What happens when a turkey from the sticks meets a Park Avenue pigeon? With the feel of an old-time radio story, Tough Turkey in the Big City follows the comic blunders of Tom Turkey, who leaves the farm to try his luck in the big city. The story, related to the audience by a narrator, illustrates a close call with a menacing chef, a tussle at the “Turkey Club”, a brief romance with a pigeon, and a happy mix up at the Thanksgiving Day Parade. It’s a big-hearted story of a plucky bird on an unexpected journey. Tom is portrayed by the bass trombone and his barnyard friends by the violin and clarinet. The music of the farm is a swinging barnyard counterpoint, while the music of the city recalls the smoky jazz of film noire. There’s also some fun march music at the parade, and hot Latin rhythms at the Turkey Club.

• Friday, November 16- 7:00 PM at the Miami Shores Presbyterian Church, 602 NE 96 Street, Miami Shores, FL 33138
• Saturday, November 17- 1:30 PM at the North Dade Regional Library, 2455 NW 183 Street, Miami, FL 33056

Performances are sponsored in part by the Miami-Dade Public Library System. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, children are asked to bring canned goods, to be donated to local food banks.

Celebrating its Sixth Anniversary, Orchestra Miami’s mission is to bring world-class quality symphonic music to all South Floridians. For more information, please go to our website at www.OrchestraMiami.org or call (305) 274-2103.

As the eyes of the art world descend upon Miami just days before Art Basel 2012, a special art opening and wine tasting event will take place at Wine by the Bay in Downtown Miami. “Transitions” examines the connections between organic and construction through the works of three artists: Miami-based, Japanese-Argentinian artist Valeria Yamamoto; Colombian sculptor Claudia Hakim; and Iraqi-German painter Fahar. A similar connection can be derived from the terroir of the California landscape where wines reflect the personality of the state while drawing inspiration from afar.

The evening is the ideal opportunity for connoisseurs of both wine and art to converge and interact. Discover the complexities of some of California’s best wines through the expert guidance of Wine by the Bay owner/gallerist Stefano Campanini and his knowledgeable staff. Special guests, Mara Sartore and Matteo Bartoli co-founders and editors of My Art Guides will enlighten guests about the art presented and their experiences working at the most notable art fairs in the world: Venice Biennale, Art Basel Switzerland, Art Basel Miami Beach, and organizing international events such as The Dali Universe, Edge of Arabia, and Circuito Off (Italy’s most important video festival.)

The Opening Reception/Wine Tasting Event takes place on Saturday, December 1, 2012 at 6:00 p.m. The Media and Community are welcome at this free event, but RSVP is required to info@winebtb.com or 305.455.9791 – space is limited. Wine by the Bay, 888 Biscayne Blvd. at the Marina Blue condominium, Miami, FL, 33132, www.winebtb.com. The exhibit runs through the end of December. 2012.

October 22, 2012—Miami Dade College will screen a new documentary film “Up to Us” at the Wolfson
Campus on November 5 at 6 pm.

The 20-minute film, which was shot this summer in New York, Atlanta and at both the Democratic
and Republican Conventions, follows two young Americans — Atlanta native Kyle Murphy, 23, who
served as an AmeriCorps member at Habitat for Humanity, and Brandon West, 27 a Masters in Public
Administration graduate, who is underemployed (for 18 months), but is seeking work in a public service
field.

The film specifically highlights the www.onemillionnewjobs.org campaign as a viable pathway toward
increasing economic mobility, while it makes the case for voting as a means of supporting the measure.

“Up to Us” was produced with support from Own the Vote (www.ownthevote.us) an initiative from
Comcast and NBC Universal that aims to engage and educate young voters about the political process.
Own the Vote has partnered with ElectNext, Rock the Vote and the National Constitution Center to help
create awareness about and encourage voter registration and voter participation.

Renowned photographer David Evans shares, “My favorite stories to tell with photos and video are those of underserved indigenous people in developing countries–especially women–newly empowered to shape their own destinies. It is one thing to document a story when progress has been achieved and listen to people talk about what it was like before. It is another to document the time when a person or group first realizes that opportunity is actually within their reach, and hear about their dreams of what they will achieve in the future, starting now. Those first steps towards a more self-determined life are beautiful to me. This portfolio highlights a group of traditional silk weavers in central Madagascar, who are just gaining access to sustainable, international, fair-trade markets. The impact of this new income is immediate and generational.”

A Portion of Each Sale Goes to the Federation Sahalandy Reforestation Project
Wild silkworm cocoons for the SAHALANDY weavings are harvested from native Tapia forests. The sustainability of these forests is vital to the Silkies’ livelihood and to the preservation of the cultural heritage of their silk weaving. But the trees have been decimated for firewood and charcoal, leaving the country 80% deforested. A portion of the sales from SAHALANDY products go towards the replanting of the Tapia forests and efforts to educate their community about alternative cooking methods. A scarf will be included with the purchase of a photograph.

Encapsulating the spirit of Miami, this exhibit represents a microcosm of the variety of art presented to us at the peak of art season. From the hollow, metal squares that Rainer Lagemann (Germany) uses to sculpt the human form – a framework of the spirit and image of the body; the “resurrection of color” that restores emotional drama to abstraction found in Christian Awe’s (Berlin) paintings; landscapes by Douglass Freed (US) who names his paintings “structures” where shapes are fitted together to create a coherent whole; works of internationally renowned American artist Hunt Slonem who experiments with a unique method of cross-hatching to texturize his works; and Colombian artist Mario Velez, a minimalist artist who has been greatly inspired by the Bauhaus approach to design. This group show is a schema of all that the city has to offer in its unique, cultural diversity.

Just in time for the holidays, one of America’s most endearing and enduring stars, Tony Orlando, is coming to town! The star will dazzle South Florida with his “Great American Christmas Show” at The Pavilion at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek on Saturday, December 22 at 8 p.m. The festive show is a classic filled with the joy and music of the season along with some of his greatest hits that has been running for 19 years in both Las Vegas and Orlando’s hometown of Branson, Missouri.

Orlando has a unique ability to move and excite an audience unlike any other, and became a teenage idol at the age of 16 with his first hit, “Halfway to Paradise” in 1961. Soon after he became a music publisher for Clive Davis at April-Blackwood Music, where he signed popular songwriters such as James Taylor. His career continued to expand when he lent his voice to a demo record for the song titled “Candida” that became wildly popular and climbed the charts all the way to number one.

Following this success, he recorded the mega sensation “Knock Three Times” which not only became number one, but was the top song of 1971 selling over six million copies worldwide, and was featured in the hit movie Now and Then. Three additional number one hits soon followed, “Tie A Yellow Ribbon ‘Round The Ole Oak Tree,” “My Sweet Gypsy Rose” and “He Don’t Love You (Like I Love You).”

Deciding to jump full force into what was already a meteoric rise to the top, Orlando released a string of even more successful songs, including “Who’s in the Strawberry Patch with Sally,” “Cupid,” “Steppin’ Out-I’m Gonna Boogie Tonight” and “Mornin’ Beautiful.” To date, he has sold millions of records across the globe and remains one of America’s most beloved personalities.

Over the years, he has been a recipient of three American Music Awards, a People’s Choice Award and was one of the first entertainers to be featured as a subject of VH1’s Behind the Music in 1998. He was also awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1990 for his outstanding achievements in the entertainment industry.

Tickets start at $20* and are available at www.ticketmaster.com. *Additional fees may apply
