The Patricia and Phillip Frost Museum of Science, in partnership with the Miami Science Barge, is bringing the expression of art to a scientific experiment with Trash Detectives during Art Days 2016 on Saturday, September 10 and Sunday, September 11 from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. each day. Presented by the Miami Downtown Development Authority, Art Days 2016 kicks off the arts season with events and exhibitions around downtown Miami.

Taking place onboard the Miami Science Barge, a floating marine laboratory and public environmental education center located in Museum Park, Trash Detectives invites visitors of all ages to create artworks on drift cards that will be deployed into Biscayne Bay as part of the Bay Drift research project being conducted by Frost Science, Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, and University of Miami-based ocean currents consortium, CARTHE (Consortium for Advanced Research on Transport of Hydrocarbon in the Environment). Visitors will also have the chance to tour the barge and interact with visiting artists and scientists. Drift cards are thin, biodegradable pieces of wood, colored with bright non-toxic paint that will be used by scientists to learn more about how ocean currents in the bay transport oil, marine debris, and other pollutants.

Following Art Days, local organizations will release the drift cards from seven locations throughout Miami-Dade County. The beautifully colored drift cards will move into and within Biscayne Bay until someone finds it and reports the discovery to the scientists. On the cards are instructions asking the finder to report the date and location found.

Join the conversation! #ArtDays #FrostScience #BayDrift #TrashDetectives

Metaxy and The Magic City
An M.F.A. Thesis Show by

‘Metaxy and The Magic City’ was Kareem David Piper’s Masters in Fine Art thesis show, and reflected his perception of various social settings and transient scenes he encountered on a daily basis here in Miami, FL. The depicted images were sourced from photos the artist had taken while riding the Miami Dade Metrorail, which is very close to the artist’s studio and is itself very symbolic of the transient state that exists here in Miami.

Kareem’s work reflects the contemporary human condition of existing in a constantly ephemeral state. With technology making the world much more accessible, human beings are able to connect far and wide like never before. His work questioned the true depth of these connections, made with people and places which are encountered only in passing. The pieces evoked a feeling of internal splitting or dislocation, and forced the viewer to question how they perceived their own reality.

Buffalo Brown (Cog Nomen) provided some vapor funk / ambient live music for us, all hosted at Yo Space.

Secret Garden Experience presents 5 Years of Mr. Nice Guy 8/13/16

Secret Garden Experience presents 5 Years of Mr. Nice Guy

main-flyerTo Be Announced
Wynwood,
Miami, Florida 33127
Website
Cost: Free Entry before 10PM: USD 0.00, General Admission: USD 10.00.

Transport yourself to a world of gritty Miami pride; a blend of old school 305 and in-your-face art experiences as Secret Garden presents a 5 Year celebration for Mr. Nice Guy Records.

When we found out that his label, Mr. Nice Guy Records, was ready to celebrate its 5th birthday, we jumped at the opportunity to help Jesse Perez, the label’s owner, recreate the Miami he’s known for embracing. Recalling those days that Jesse spent in the ‘90s grinding on chongitas to Miami booty-bass music at backyard jams, we aim to transport you into a world of gritty Miami pride; a blend of Jesse’s old school 305 and the in-your-face art experiences that Secret Garden has brought to Wynwood.

Mr. Nice Guy Records is a smooth-yet-dirty coalescence of old school ‘90s hip hop and glorified Miami sleaze with a touch of funk. For the past five years, they’ve been pushing bass-infused, ass-clapping music, successfully exporting an entire Miamian party culture to international dance floors. This label has given birth to an impressive cast of top DJs, including Sex Sells, Mika Materazzi, Dakap, and of course, Jesse “El Sucio” Perez himself.

Get schooled in the art of graffiti and breakdancing in an immersive interactive experience. Beats and bass will be flying, and booties will be bouncing to the sounds of Mr. Nice Guy Records’ crew at a soon to be announced location in our very backyard, Wynwood. In a tribute to Hialeah house party traditions, expect red cups, complimentary croquetas and pastelitos-without the abuelitas-and a whole lot of bumping ‘n’ grinding.

Its only a Secret… if you keep it!

Event is strictly 21+.

According to statistics compiled by the website mymovingreviews.com, summer is a popular time to move because of preferable weather. It’s a great time for families to explore neighborhoods and make friends before the school year starts. Plus, many sellers who haven’t sold homes put on the market in spring are willing to sell for less during the summer. Over half of all moves (61.5%) in 2015 were made during the months of May through September with the busiest day in the moving industry being July 31. The state of Florida also ranked as number two in the nation for the highest number of local moves.

“Now is the time to buy before interest rates rise and We Florida Financial credit union services wants to help consumers save time and money for this important life purchase,” said Lloyd Gill, president and CEO of We Florida Financial. “We Florida Financial has mortgage programs for the modern buyer with low rates, affordable monthly payments and no Florida intangible tax. We encourage South Florida residents to attend one of our free Home Buyers Summer Seminars to get the most out of their home-buying experience.”

This workshop will identify funding sources other than grants and look in particular at two that provide the greatest return on the investment of your time and effort but that you may not have considered for your organization.

About the Presenter:
Thomas Schramm, a Professional in Residence at the Center for Social Change, has 29 years of fundraising experience in healthcare, arts, education, environmental and wildlife, social services and humanitarian organizations in Miami-Dade, Broward and Monroe counties. He specializes in major gift fundraising including capital, comprehensive, and annual campaigns.

This classy music venue—former home to dance clubs Power and Glo—has the fairly dubious distinction of being located next door to a Western Beef supermarket. But indoors, the spartan 700-person-capacity space distinguishes itself with exposed beams, lounge-worthy lighting, and a column-free main floor with great sight lines from both the wide downstairs area and the carpeted balcony. (When seats are added to both levels, the place maxes the lookout.) Bookings are consciously eclectic, but overall reflect the evolved vibe of the neighborhood with bling- and controversy-free hip-hop acts, mellow songstresses, and veteran critical darlings.

Pop-Up Exhibit featuring works of Robert Mapplethorpe
Venture inside the mind of one of the 20th Century’s most important artists, and come face to face with his provocative masterpieces. Presented on a scale worthy of its artistic impact, this digital gallery features rare and revealing commentary from the photographer himself.

“Look at the pictures,” said Senator Jesse Helms, denouncing the controversial art of Robert Mapplethorpe, whose photographs pushed boundaries with frank depictions of nudity, sexuality and fetishism, igniting a culture war that rages to this day.

More than 25 years later, the HBO Documentary Films presentation MAPPLETHORPE: LOOK AT THE PICTURES does just that, taking an unflinching, unprecedented look at his most provocative work.

As The J. Paul Getty Museum and The Los Angeles County Museum of Art prepare landmark Mapplethorpe retrospectives (both opening in March), the film goes inside the preparation for the exhibitions as a jumping-off point to tell the complete story of his life and work, and explore the interplay between his personal and professional lives.

With complete and unprecedented access to The Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation, the documentary draws upon archival materials and features never-before-seen photographs and footage. Mapplethorpe himself is a strong presence, telling his story in his own words with complete honesty and often shocking candor through rediscovered audio interviews.

Almost all of the people from key relationships in his life are included in the film, including his first girlfriend, Patti Smith, one in a string of profoundly influential lovers.

The idea is to bring together people of diverse political backgrounds for a night of fellowship. Meet old friends and make new ones!

The name “Dance Party” comes from my belief of only trusting a dance party, being politically/civically involved but not loyal to a political party, making me the “NPA Rebel”.

Then recently, we were all hit with the news of Ariel Gonzalez’s ongoing struggle with cancer. Ariel is hands down one of the best punk rock guitarists around. Seeing as Ariel’s battle with cancer is a costly one, we decided to host this fundraiser for both Bryan and Ariel. If you can’t make the show but wish to donate please visit their gofundme pages.

3rd Annual Filmgate Interactive 2/20/16 – 2/28/16

Posted on    by

3rd Annual Filmgate Interactive
February 20 – 28, 2016

FilmGate Interactive, the U.S.A.’s only Immersive Media Conference, returns for its third year with more than 20 screenings, 6 performances, 5 interactive exhibits and 15 workshops, which explore the intersection of film, technology and interactive storytelling.

The FilmGate Interactive Conference will take place from February 20 to 28, 2016 at prime arts locations throughout Miami Beach and Miami, Florida. Over 5,000 production professionals and enthusiastic amateurs, are anticipated to attend this year’s conference and their goal is to learn, showcase their work, and develop new content through immersive and interactive techniques – an approach that recognizes the changing landscape of entertainment and storytelling, and produces a more cohesive and rewarding audience experience.

Under the helm of Executive Director Diliana Alexander, the FilmGate Interactive conference aims to engage viewers in the creative process while also providing production professionals, filmmakers, videographers, gamers, coders, writers, photographers, story architects, marketing and advertising creatives and technophile audiences with access to experts and state-of-the-art tools to craft their own projects.

FilmGate Interactive answers the question of how new technology is influencing the future of entertainment, art and digital storytelling. We called the Conference, FilmGate to pay homage to our roots—the capturing of that moment, when film passed through the gate and is illuminated—but there is hardly any film left in today’s reality. We live in a digital world with ever-changing technological landscape and our programming and learning environments reflect that – Diliana Alexander

In a nod to the Hispanic creative and new technology communities from Central and South America and the Caribbean, an important aspect of conference programming embedded since its launching has been to represent diversity and emerging markets. At this year’s Conference, FilmGate Interactive will feature immersive media creators from Brazil and Colombia. “South Florida’s unique socio-cultural demographic and proximity to Latin America and the Caribbean have positioned Miami Beach and Miami as an international destination for arts, development and increasingly, technology,” said Alexander. “There is a tangible shift in the region’s identity as one poised for opportunity and growth.”

Program highlights include:
The Interactive Tech Playground
The Interactive Tech Playground is a curated fair with 30 selected exhibitors offering innovative products (cameras, lights, cranes, lenses, gaming software, apps, video equipment, etc.) and services.  Spanning over more than 8,000 square-feet at the historic Deauville Beach Resort, the Interactive Tech Playground was designed to be a platform to connect trade and consumer audiences to the advances in new technology, from startups to blue chip companies.
The Playground will feature the FilmGate Center Stage, an area for live presentations and an interactive set with live actors, where anyone can “play” with the gear on display.
We welcome new editions to the program: cinematic camera manufacturers RED Digital and Blackmagic. SONY will return with a workshop on High Dynamic Range for Content Production and Distribution, How to get the best imagery from the PMW-F55 and PMW-F5 motion picture cameras and a Miami specific workshop involving underwater videography and photography. Past participants have included Panasonic, Canon, Arri CSC, Kessler Cranes, Schneider Optics, Manfrotto, Dodo Case, Nauticam and Cinedrones, among others.

Interactive Screenings
Manual Cinema’s LULA DEL RAY is the story of a lonely adolescent girl who lives with her mother on the outskirts of a vast satellite array in the middle of the desert, and is performed with overhead projectors, shadow puppets, actors in silhouette, and live music. Set in the mid-century American Southwest, the project is inspired by the music of Hank Williams, Roy Orbison, and Patsy Cline. 
Katerina Cizek’s THE UNIVERSE WITHIN, the final chapter of the Digital Emmy award-winning series HIGHRISE, poses the questions, as cities reach for the sky, how do we engage with our loved ones over the worldwide web? How has this reality rewired our brains? The project was created for the National Film Board of Canada.
DO NOT TRACK, directed by Brett Gaylor and co-produced by Upian, Arte, the National Film Board of Canada, is a personalized documentary series about privacy and the web economy.
AFTER THE STORM, directed by Andrew Grace and for the first time jointly launched on line by PBS’s Independent Lens and the Washington Post, is an interactive documentary, which tells the story of what happened after a half-mile wide tornado plowed through the middle of Tuscaloosa, a small southern college town in central Alabama, after the storm passed, the media left town, and after the adrenaline subsided.
THE STORY OF THE STAFF, a web documentary by Ashley Maynor, an investigation into America’s obsession with temporary memorials. It tracks what happens to more than half a million letters, 65,000 teddy bears, and hundreds of thousands of other packages, donations, and condolence items sent to Newtown, Connecticut, in the wake of the Sandy Hook school shooting.

Interactive Exhibits
Nonny de la Pena and her Emblematic Group team will present ONE DARK NIGHT, a Trayvon Martin VR Reenactment. The near constant flow of news detailing yet another shooting death of a black person by U.S. police officers may eventually dull the shock for some observers, but what if you could relive the incidents reported as if you were there? This is a data driven, immersive virtual reality reenactment of the February 2012 Florida shooting death of Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman.  
DISCLOSE MIAMI, a participatory, slow, immersive sound and sight installation, designed for relaxation, conversation and creative production, will be created by Billy Wrasnik, Emily Ferrier and a team of creative technologists in real time during the Conference, It will stitch together the sounds and sights captured by the participants of the SOUND FOR THE NEW MEDIA FRONTIER workshop, being held at the conference prior to the event.

Workshops
IMMERSIVE MEDIA MASTER CLASS with Katerina Cizek: An innovative storyteller who works across many media platforms, Katerina Cizek created the seven year long, multi-media project HIGHRISE for the National Film Board of Canada. The project won the 2011 Digital Emmy award in the non-fiction category for digital programs.
Sound designer and classically trained musician Billy Wirasnik will lead a SOUND FOR THE NEW MEDIA FRONTIER workshop, which will present practical answers the question of what can be done to incorporate thoughtful, meaningful use of sound. Attendees of the workshop will use the medium of Slow TV, an emerging genre of observational films, as a vessel of exploring sound and patient filmmaking.
The Brazilian #EraTransmidia group, will teach a Multi Audience Multi Platform workshop (MAMP), which will utilize real cases and hands on activities, to create story worlds.

Interactive Events
SHE DOES LIVE. Witness the live recording of a podcast with hosts Elaine Sheldon and Sarah Ginsburg and special guest Mariana Santos. SHE DOES features notable women of all generations, working at the intersection of media, film, journalism, art and technology. Former Knight International Journalism Fellow at Stanford University, Mariana Santos is a visual storyteller who did groundbreaking work as a member of the interactive team at The Guardian in London before becoming director of Interactive and Animation at Fusion Media.

Best Of N.O.L.A.
“I’m Not Gonna Move to L.A.” (N.O.L.A.) is a monthly event that for the last three years has screened local shorts made in Florida under the same roof at independent art house O Cinema.  After a Q & A and rapid-fire trivia, the audience is asked to vote for their favorite film using some unorthodox devices. In a culmination of N.O.L.A. all-stars, the winners of the past months have been invited to O Cinema Miami Beach for a chance to win the grand prize, the Pink Kraken.

All screenings, installations and workshops are suitable to all skill levels and high school students.

Richard Haas’ Florida
April 21 – August 14, 2016

In 2015, famed muralist Richard Haas donated over 50 works on paper, preparatory sketches, and models to the Museums Permanent Art Collection. The suite of exquisitely rendered drawings and plans reveal Haas’ deep appreciation of architecture and served as studies for the majestic murals he created throughout South Florida. The large Art Deco “Arc de Triomphe” was painted onto the original Fountainebleau Hilton Hotel in Miami Beach, designed by Morris Lapidus, and was “lit” by two sixty-five feet high grand lamps in the form of caryatids. The now destroyed mural was just one example of the artists’ iconic work adorning the building facades within Miami Dade County.

Richard Haas murals have been painted on blank walls of buildings in cities throughout the United States including New York, Boston, St. Louis, Cincinnati and Miami. The paintings are extravagant and inventive architectural fantasies, which alter the cityscape around them.

“Richard Haas is an artist about architecture – he makes people stop and think about architecture and realize that buildings are not just a backdrop; they are also an active presence in our lives.” -Paul Goldberger, Architecture Critic, Vanity Fair

In this exhibition, Richard Haas’ Florida, many works will be on loan from Haas’ private collection which include final preparatory studies for projects created throughout Florida including State Offices, Tallahassee, Florida; The University of Tampa series; SeaWorld, Orlando project; final drawings for mosaics for Home Savings Banks in Aventura, Bradenton, Vero Beach, Naples, the Sarasota County Courthouse and the Bakehouse, Miami. In addition, new paintings from Haas’ Museum interior series will also be on loan from Harmon Meek Gallery in Naples, Florida .

75 Years of EFE Images: Wars, Triumphs, Disasters, People and Politics
February 17 – August 28, 2016

Miami Dade College’s (MDC) Museum of Art + Design (MOA+D) in collaboration with the Lynn and Louis Wolfson II Florida Moving Image Archives is pleased to present the exhibition 75 Years of EFE Images: Wars, Triumphs, Disasters, People and Politics. The exhibition, drawn from the recent donation of over 75 photographs from Agencia EFE, the world’s leading Spanish-language news agency, will open to the public on February 17, 2016 at MOA+D located within the College’s Historic Freedom Tower.

​75 Years of EFE Images: Wars, Triumphs, Disasters, People and Politics, is an exhibition and collection of photographs donated to MDC’s Permanent Art Collection and the Lynn and Louis Wolfson II Florida Moving Image Archives. The exhibition includes photographs of Ibero-American and world history and features images of historic importance, such as the meeting between Francisco Franco and Adolf Hitler at the start of World War II, Princess Diana, Martin Luther King, as well as photos of Celia Cruz, Cantinflas and Gabriel Garcia Marquez. The collection will continue to grow, as the agency donates a historically significant photograph that encapsulates the most important headline of each year.

In 2015, Agencia EFE, the Spanish international news agency, celebrated 75 years of service. The world’s fourth largest wire service, EFE has documented and reported the most important global events through words and images. In celebration of its 75th anniversary, EFE compiled a collection of its most arresting and impactful images for each year in operation. Featuring photographs from EFE’s award-winning photojournalists, the exhibition captures pivotal moments in history including coronations of kings and queens, presidential visits, star-studded moments, physical triumphs and political turmoil.

YoungArts Alumnus Jason Moran (1993 Winner in Jazz) is bringing an inspired blend of jazz, skateboarding and new media to the YoungArts Campus. Join us for an intimate Salon about Moran’s creative inspiration, sponsored by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, where Moran will meet iconic street skater and childhood hero Mark Gonzales (also known as “Gonz” or “The Gonz”) for the first time. Often called the Salvador Dali of skateboarding, Gonz has been credited with reinventing the wheel for street skaters and bringing street skating to the forefront with a 1984 cover for Thrasher magazine.

Following the talk, Moran will share a site-specific iteration of this body of work replete with a carved-out half-bowl, half-pipe ramp installed on the Plaza in a family-friendly, multidisciplinary Outside the Box performance on the YoungArts Plaza. Featuring Miami’s best street skaters organized by professional skateboarder Joel Meinholz and acclaimed skateboard photographer Ian O’Connor, audiences will experience a 360-degree immersion filled with the art of improvisation in both music and sport. STARR Catering Group will be offering a range of beverage options, and light to hearty bites will be available for purchase.

The National YoungArts Foundation identifies and nurtures the most accomplished young artists in the visual, literary, design and performing arts and assists them at critical junctures in their educational and professional development.

The Basement Project is proud to present the South Florida premiere of Boom, an epic and intimate comedy by acclaimed San Francisco playwright Peter Sinn Nachtrieb directed by a theater veteran Oleg Kheyfets. Featuring original music composed and performed by members of the beloved electro-funk bank Afrobeta, the show runs Jan 7-31 at the Museum of Contemporary Art in North Miami.

“Uproariously funny. It’s literate, coarse, thoughtful, sweet, scabrously inappropriate, wracked by existential anxiety, and wonderfully humane…this is one end-of-the-world story that’s likely to leave you grinning from ear to ear.”

– Washington City Paper

A grad student’s personal ad lures a mysterious girl to his subterranean research lab under the pretense of an evening of “no strings attached” sex. But when a global catastrophe strikes, their date takes on evolutionary significance. An epic and intimate comedy that spans over billions of years.

“At first glans “Boom” suggests a “Twilight Zone” rewritten as a sitcom… It winds up speaking, quietly and piquantly, to our enduring fascination with and need for myths about the beginning of life as well as its end.”
– New York Times

“A Grandly wacked-out apocalypse fantasy, one of those charmed evenings.”
-Washington Post

Red bows suggest a promise or a kiss… Bows are ribbons that have been tied into decorative knots, ancient symbols of strength, unions, loyalty, and beauty. Red Bows are at once reminders of all that is important…tie a red string around your finger so as not to forget… In eastern cultures red ribbons connect people who are destined to meet, regardless of place, time, or circumstances. This magical cord may stretch or tangle, but never break.

MANO Fine Art Project Space is the working studio of Miami-based artist MANO and an exhibition and project space for art related events. MANO Fine Art is one of the founding members of the Bird Road Art Walk that is held on the third Saturday of each month.

His life was as bizarre as his paintings: Melting clocks, tigers leaping out of nowhere, flaming giraffes, mills powered by butterflies, women with protruding drawers, and plenty of overt and subtle sexual references to go around. Paintings charged with religiosity that ranged from the blasphemous to the pious. A personal life that resembled a circus. A financial success wrapped inside of a financial disaster. Famous for being famous. Sexual exploits to make a herd of prudes squirm. An ego that hardly fit within the universe. Many described him as a skilled painter; others, unh-uh, not so much. What is undeniable though is that he was among the most creative artists of the XX Century.

Miguel Rodez has challenged himself and a select group of artists to create artwork in their own style, but incorporating an image of Salvador Dalí’s face within the work, along with some element of Dalí’s ideas. It is an art project that is intended an homage to both Dalí and his artwork. Several artists have taken up the challenge. Their work, which includes drawing, painting, ceramics, sculpture, fine art photography, and other media, will be shown at FACING DaLí in January 2016. You are invited to share in this experience.
