Former Miami Heat player, Shane Battier and his wife Heidi, continue to give back to the community they call home by hosting the fourth annual “South Beach Battioke” on March 3rd, 8 p.m. at the Fillmore Theatre in Miami Beach – a star-studded, karaoke charity event where attendees include Miami’s elite, philanthropists and socialites while watching their favorite Miami Heat stars live out their pop star fantasies, all for a great cause.
“We are proud that we have been able to engage our community and send brilliant young minds to colleges and universities through the fundraising efforts of South Beach Battioke,” said Shane Battier, Founder of The Battier Take Charge Foundation. “This will be our fourth year putting together the most authentic and entertaining event in South Florida. I am extremely thankful to the Heat organization and everyone that supports us including my former teammates that come out and sing karaoke for charity.”
“Our partnership with the Battier Take Charge Foundation means the world to us here at Big Brothers Big Sisters. Together, we are making sure our kids are “Taking Charge” of their lives through positive mentoring relationships, high school graduation, and post-secondary education,” said Deborah Perez, Continuing Education Manager at Big Brothers Big Sisters. “The commitment the Foundation has to our youth is invaluable and in partnership, we are helping to develop the next generation of “Champions.”
“The Battier Take Charge Foundation has given me the torch of success that I will carry enthusiastically across the finish line. Thank you for the personal investment, I love the organization and its positive impact on shaping America’s future leaders,” said David Green, current student at University of Florida and 2012 scholar recipient of The Battier Take Charge Foundation.
Notable past karaoke participants include Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Pat Riley, James Jones, Norris Cole, Udonis Haslem, Greg Oden, Jimmy Buffet, Gabrielle Union and Ken Jeong. Last year’s event was attended by over 600 people and raised more than $300,000 dollars. This year’s event aims to shatter that record, yet again, with funds raised through ticket sales, auction items and sponsorships.
“South Beach Battioke” 2015 is an annual event that raises funds and awareness for The Battier Take Charge Foundation, a non-profit organization established by Shane and his wife, Heidi. The foundation awards college scholarships to underprivileged high school students in Miami, Houston and Detroit. The foundation partners with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Miami, KIPP Academy in Houston and Horizon Upward Bound in Detroit by empowering our future young leaders to “Do Well, Do Good,” the phrase that serves as the motto of the foundation and the Battier family.
Tickets to the “South Beach Battioke” 2015 are currently on-sale and are available for purchase at www.takechargefoundation.org. Advanced purchase tickets are significantly discounted at $175 per person. Admission at the door is $250. First 100 general admission tickets sold will receive a personalized Shane Battier autograph. In addition, table sponsorship packages are available by emailing info@takechargefoundation.org. Admission price includes delicious delectables from some of South Florida’s top restaurants, an open bar and of course, a chance to watch your favorite celebrities take the stage and belt out your favorite tunes. Attendees must be 21 or older.
Those who can’t make it to the event can still make an impact in the lives of at-risk
students by clicking here to make a donation to the Take Charge Foundation.

About the Battier Take Charge Foundation
The Battier Take Charge Foundation, established by Shane and Heidi, is dedicated to providing
resources for the development and education of underserved youth and teens. The Battiers’ charge is to encourage and inspire a new generation of potential leaders through educational opportunities and the cultivation of effective leadership skills. National partnerships include Houston’s KIPP Academy, Detroit’s Horizon Upward Bound and Miami’s Big Brothers Big Sisters. Learn more at www.takechargefoundation.org.

The story of a South Beach legend

Walk to the Fifth Street lifeguard stand on South Beach at 5:15 pm any day. You will see a bearded, long-haired shirtless man wearing black shorts, one black glove, and a headband that’s black, too. People call him the “Raven,” and he’s been standing in front of that lifeguard stand at that time for the last forty years, getting ready for his eight-mile jog up and down the beach. That’s right—Raven has run eight miles on the sands of South Beach every day since 1975, through concussions, hurricanes, food poisoning, animal attacks, hail and high water. And he’s still going.

This event will feature:

A reading of poetry written by the Raven himself
Screening of the feature documentary
Invitation to join the Raven on his famous 8 mile run on the beach following the film at 4:15 PM

With a score by multiple Dora award-winning composer John Gzowski and “eye-popping” augmented-reality video, Jacqueries “is almost like being in your own video game, except it’s real.” (Michael Crabb, Toronto Star)

We are committed to being accessible to audience members with disability. Please contact us with your specific concerns so that we can see how we can give you a great experience. Audience members will be loaned quality iPod touches and headphones in order to participate in the performance.

It Is now possible to tell stories using non-linear storytelling.

The wall between a fiction and the real world doesn’t exist anymore. The world becomes a total platform. Are we characters? Are we discovering an old situation with new eyes? What are the consequences of this new situation? Who are the puppet masters of our lives ? Should we feel responsible as authors and as citizens? Is it just an evolution?

Or just a new world?

There are a ton of amazing immersive media projects being created these days, but rarely do people discuss the process for how these types of projects actually get made.

The form is still so new that it can feel like a bit of a mystery. This workshop will answer questions like:

What are the key steps in conceiving and creating immersive media projects?
What are the phases and what activities happen in each of them?
What tools do you use in each phase?
What are the types of team members you need and how do you find them?
The workshop will commence with a hands-on paper prototyping exercise where we put what we’ve discussed to use.

This workshop is limited to 20 attendees. Creators should come with a project that they are working on (as well as a laptop/tablet if they wish).

I am writing to introduce you to The Great Office Escape (TheGOE) “a grownup field day” for South Floridians to play, explore and discover ways to live healthier, feel better; and win prizes while they do it. The Great Office Escape is a wellness day that encourages teams, individuals and kids alike ranging from co-workers, colleagues, friends and family members to put down their phones and enjoy a pressure-free day – all with one shared goal – to discover the fun of feeling good. TheGOE aims to provide participants with a way to unplug from the workplace and provides tools to foster healthy habits – both at work and home. Unlike traditional corporate events, The Great Office Escape focuses on positivity as opposed to competition. The objective is to take small, achievable steps, and celebrate ones’ accomplishments; whether big or small.

Taking place on March 7th at Haulover Beach, in Bay Harbor, The Great Office Escape is open to office teams, neighborhood teams and club teams as well as individuals and kids, the combinations are endless! To become a “citizen” (as a team ) of The Great Office Escape, (www.goe.com), all that is required is an enthusiastic group of 10 people over the age of 18 with at least two females prepared for fun with a healthy dose of side effects! There is even a KID’S ZONE; after all, living healthier is a family affair.

Anything but ordinary, contests at TheGOE include CEO Dunk Tank, Tricycle Races, Nerf Dodgeball, Hula Hoop, Wacky Obstacle Course, Social Media Challenges and Sandcastle Building. Teams receive official “Passports to Feelgoodsville” and can earn stamps by participating in games, contests and our Interactive Expo Booths. Teams that turn in a completed passport qualify to win prizes including restaurant gift certificates, massages and more.

The Great Office Escape concept was born to promote Health and Wellness in the workplace and to welcome, encourage and motivate those who are often times intimated by traditional fitness. Although it’s hard to admit, wellness competitions, like 5k’s and fitness challenges are intimidating to most people. Even so, The Great Office Escape offers alternative ways to wellness to those already involved in a healthy lifestyle. Knowing that cost of healthcare and insurance is on the rise and employees and employers are all feeling the impact; one of the most effective ways to help keep a lid on those costs is through wellness initiatives. Healthy employees get sick less often, lessening the cost burden on themselves and on their employers. Healthy individuals are proven to be more productive, have decreased absenteeism and improved morale.

The Great Office Escape 2015 is taking place on March 7th at Haulover Beach Miami, FL and early registration costs are just $50 per person. The rate goes to $57 per person on January 31, 2015. Sponsorship opportunities are also available. Past sponsors include Humana, Bacardi, KIND Healthy Snacks, Viva Coco and Tropical Credit Union.

Local favorite Madeliene Abling unveils new oil paintings at the Williams McCall Gallery South of Fifth. Kicking off with an artist reception that is open to the public on Saturday, January 17th at 6 pm, the exhibit runs until February 4. The exhibit features Abling’s boats, classic cars, and adult beverages. Abling is known for her thick, luscious, colorful oil paintings. Her work is figurative but with a different twist. Abling uses her palette knife to create exciting imagery of different themes. Abling rarely includes people in any of her work because she feels the viewer can be more easily invited into her work without the interference of people within the painting. In all of her paintings the viewer can see movement. The wind in the sails of the boats, cars chugging down a road or an adult beverage just ready for a sip! Abling paints with abandon–not afraid to take chances and from this come her striking visual paintings!

EDGE Collections, a design and manufacturing house that specializes in large-format production of custom wallpapers, tiles, and textiles, is collaborating with contemporary artist Cristina Lei Rodriguez on an installation at the Bass Museum of Art

Limestone Bearing Gold Veins, commissioned by the Bass Museum of Art, features faux limestone rock made from common materials and glue infused with gold leaf and gold metallic powder. While made in the image of a natural material found throughout South Florida––and on top of which Miami Beach itself is built––the faux limestone is complex and painstakingly handmade. The installation, which includes a wallpapered archway and two benches positioned at the intersection of the museum’s original 1930 building and its modern addition, mimics Miami’s geological makeup while also addressing the city’s architectural and design strategies aimed at portraying grandeur and power.

Dates: Dec. 1 to Jan. 11th

On Thursday, December 4, 2014, London’s luxury menswear brand ADVANI will present their inaugural menswear collection at Art Basel Miami Beach in an exclusive preview of the AW2015-16 collection. The traveling pop-up salon and showroom premieres in Miami and will travel the world, welcoming the modern gentleman into the ADVANI universe. Inspired by childhood memories, the pop-up salon and showroom will replicate a British-style dressing room in the family’s home in Bombay.

ADVANI captures a sophisticated and youthful spirit, arriving at a crossroads between reduced, contemporary tailoring and the panache of sub-continental sartorialism. Innovative tailoring employs the savoir-faire of Italian and British manufacturers to execute truly fine suiting, cut from the trans-seasonal, superfine wools of the Dormeuil and Barberis mills. Trim jackets feature a Nehru collar with a lapel and shirts are cut long to be worn over the slim, soft trouser. Outerwear balances the structure of formalwear with a casual insouciance, elevating both utility and aesthetic for versatile, sophisticated pieces of the finest quality.

This year will feature Patrick Rowe teaching the art of mobile print making. Patrick started Mobile Print Power in March 2013. With a background in printmaking and public art, Patrick wanted to bring silkscreen printmaking into public space. He is also interested in art education and works with the group as they develop strategies to exchange knowledge with others in public space. Children are also invited to join Patrick Rush on Sunday, November, 30 from 4 to 5:30 PM at the Miami Children’s Museum 980 MacArthur Causeway on Watson Island for a session to create their own print mobiles.

ArtKids welcomes children ages 4 – 12 to stay in the room for up to 3 hours at a time; children younger than 4 may also visit with a caretaker.

From beatboxing to poetry, KIND Healthy Snacks encourages South Florida to Do the KIND Thing® by joining them in recognition of our community’s most talented young artists. During Art Basel 2014, KIND will shine a light on the importance of music and the arts in the lives of youth through their ichooseart campaign, an effort that includes several spontaneous street performances by student artists, a formal gallery of their work, and a unique opening night celebration. Focusing on the power of choice, KIND hopes to inspire guests to make powerful decisions in their lives both large and small, from living healthy lifestyles all the way to leaving a positive mark on the world through simple acts of kindness.

Starting with a Thursday night student showcase from 6:30 pm – 10:30 pm at Brick House Wynwood (187 NW 28th Street), KIND invites the community to experience the talent, passion and dedication of local young performers while enjoying cocktails, refreshments and the buzz of Midtown Miami. This event, free and open to the public, will serve as the kickoff to a series of pop-up performances that Basel-goers will spot throughout the city on December 5 and 6.
By joining the ichooseart movement, Art Basel attendees will reinforce the notion of art being accessible to all, something that can provide light in the dark, guidance and inspiration… all starting with the powerful choice to live a KINDer, healthier, more positive life.

“Each year, the HoliGay Toy Drive grows and grows like a snowball rolling down a hill,” said Lori Lynch, executive director of the LGBT Visitor Center. “So much so, it might just snow during the event.”

The jolly old elf himself will be making a special guest appearance and posing for selfies at the event which will feature complimentary cocktails by GREY GOOSE® Vodka, Bacardi brands and Barefoot Wine and Bubbly. A lavish buffet from Centerplate and Crepe Maker will be served against the backdrop of DJ/Producer Maximus 3000 playing holiday and contemporary favorites.

The Miami-Dade Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce Foundation opened the country’s first-ever Chamber-sponsored LGBT Visitor Center in October 2010. The Center is open to the public seven days a week and has been the venue for special events for the MDGLCC, Miami Dade County Health Department, Yes Institute, Miami Gay & Lesbian Film Festival, Brazilian Film Festival and Miami Beach Gay Pride, just to name a few.

Miami Contemporary Dance Company (MCDC) presents a revamped version of
Ray Sullivan’s Bolero and the WORLD PREMIERE of In Red Time. This double
bill of two entrancing performances will transport the audience to an alternate
reality that reflects our own. Ray Sullivan’s Bolero is set to Ravel’s famous
masterpiece and is revamped by MCDC’s dancers as they take the audience
through a theatrical world not so different from our own, where we are unsure if
we are puppets or leaders, followers or the flock and where, if released from our
ties, can go wild in jubilation or madness. In Red Time is Ray Sullivan’s
newest, never-before-seen creation, that is set in a poetic and surreal vision,
showing the journey of two people through time and life, who they meet and
love, and how they have lived along the way, even as time runs out, as time
turns to “Red Time”.

Celebrating its fourteenth year, Miami Contemporary Dance Company is a non-profit
organization dedicated to bringing international contemporary dance of the
highest level to the stage and is committed to furthering professional dance
education in Miami MCDC’s programs are made possible with the support of our
sponsors: Celestial Society members, John S. and James L. Knight Foundation
as part of its Knight Arts Challenge, Miami Beach Cultural Arts Council, Miami
Beach Commissioners and Mayor, Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural

Miami Beach, Florida 33139
Webpage Link
Cost: $ 100.00 to $40.00

Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida will, once again embark on a journey to the Land of the Sweets, as they perform the traditional annual audience favorite, The Nutcracker based on the tale of Ernest Hoffman with Tchaikovsky’s popular score and choreographed and directed by Vladimir Issaev.
This is the most popular holiday story ever performed in the US. It tells the tale of a young girl, Clara, on Christmas Eve and the adventure she undertakes when her most cherished Christmas present, a nutcracker, comes to life. Together they battle the Mouse King, meet the Queen of Snow and travel to the Land of Sweets, where they encounter the always classic, Sugarplum Fairy.
Issaev’s engaging choreography preserves the Russian tradition and serves as an alternative to those who already have seen Balanchine’s version. Every year the production is enhanced, adding special effects like falling snow and a growing Christmas tree, which enchant children and adults, making each year a new experience for returning audiences.
The enthusiastic young company features a team of professional dancers performing the principal roles, as well as a community cast made up of local character artists and children for the party scene. The engaging choreography- from the fun of the party scene- to the harrowing battle scene- to the enchanting kingdom of the sweets- is guaranteed to entertain any age. Not only is it the most popular ballet enjoyed by all audiences around the world during this time of the year but it also serves as an introduction to ballet for the very young audiences.
The principal roles in The Nutcracker will be commanded by Arts Ballet’s new stars Takayuki Asai, Yukina Yasuhara, Hirofumi Kitazume, Lillian Hill, Ramil Bagmanov, Ben Cook, Saori Morioka, Elise Shea.

Vladimir Issaev’s holiday tradition will be presented in three magnificent venues: the Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theater, the Aventura Arts & Cultural Center and The Parker Playhouse of Fort Lauderdale.
You Can Join the Magical Adventure
As every year, the Opening Gala performance takes place at the Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theater, which celebrate the company’s seventeen years of making holiday magic. For VIP Patrons, the December 7th Gala will begin at 6:30 pm, with cocktails and hors Hors d’oeuvres, a reception with the international corps of dancers, and chances to bid on silent auction items such as Tiffany’s jewels, Spa Packages, Holiday baskets, Hilton Cabana’s weekend getaway, Disney packages, Sports memorabilia, and many more. For more information on how to participate visit www.artsballettheatre.org, or call (305) 948-4777

Engage in the holiday gift loved ones will always cherish. Don’t miss the opportunity to share the excitement and charm of the great tradition of the holidays with Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida during their extraordinary performances of “The Nutcracker.”

UNTITLED., an international art fair to be held in Miami Beach, announces its vernissage and benefit, its list of exhibitors and programming highlights for its third edition from December 3 to 7, 2014.

At the vernissage on Monday, December 1, UNTITLED. will honor ACRIA, a leading research and education organization working to help people with HIV and AIDS live longer, healthier lives. For more than 20 years, ACRIA has been championed tirelessly by the arts community. Ryan McGinley will host the UNTITLED. vernissage, where a limited-edition print by the artist will be available for sale to benefit ACRIA. On Tuesday, December 2, UNTITLED. will hold a Press Preview from 1 pm to 3 pm, and a VIP Preview from 3 pm to 7 pm. (All these events are by invitation only).

UNTITLED. is proud to welcome exhibitors from across the country and globe. Over 200 artists represented in galleries and non-profit art spaces from 16 US cities and 18 countries are on the 2014 roster. Carefully selected by UNTITLED.’s 2014 curatorial team, led by Artistic Director Omar López-Chahoud with curators Christophe Boutin and Melanie Scarciglia, the list of exhibitors will present the works of emerging and established contemporary artists.
In addition to its roster of international exhibitors, UNTITLED. will feature a series of special projects, conversations, performances and events.
Programming highlights

This year’s UNTITLED. catalog is conceived as an artist book and will be published in a limited edition of 1,000 numbered copies. This simple box containing folders and gallery information will mimic a box of press clips focusing on the international profile of the fair.
A series of artist’s posters will additionally be produced and distributed for free to the visitors, including two works from the Toilet Paper series by Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari. Lawrence Weiner, Lisa Anne Auerbach, Jonathan Monk, Elvire Bonduelle, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, Slavs and Tatars among others will also create original posters for the public.

Loosely based on Hyde Park’s Speakers’ Corner, UNTITLED. TALKS, animated by artist Sean Micka, will create a new space in the heart of the fair where art history will collide with performance, controversy, culture, diatribe and debate with a strong dose of energy.
Furthermore, the Paris-based publisher onestar press is inviting artists Douglas Navarra, Nicole Cherubini, Pier Stockholm, and Silvina Arismendi among others for a publication in their prestigious artist’s books collection.

Publicar V (2010), a special project by Paul Ramírez Jonas, will be presented by Koenig & Clinton, New York. The artist states, “There are two voices that inscribe public space. One is ours and it is ephemeral, improvised, and temporal. The other one is the state’s and it tries to be permanent and monumental. Their voice is of stone and bronze. Our voice is cork: capable of accommodating us all—even if for a short time. All we need is a scrap of paper, a pen, and a thumbtack to publish our voice.”

Conceptual French artist Mathieu Mercier will present new works exclusively made for the fair and will be showcased by Denis Gardarin Inc. Using everyday objects to explore ideas of the line between functionality and artistic purposelessness, Mercier’s work investigates key tropes of modern art and design. Denis Gardarin Inc. will also feature a 20-year survey of Mercier, with the artist’s most important works including new sculptures and photographs.
Artists Gordon Matta-Clark, Bill Owens and James Wines / SITE Architects & Howard Silver will present Cutting Through the Suburbs. Featured by non-profit gallery carriage trade, the works engage the almost mythological status of mid-century suburban life. Documented through film, photographs and sketches, the artists’ works represent their shared interest in the unusual retail and domestic spaces of 1970s suburbia.

Additionally, for its third edition UNTITLED.’s VIP guests will be granted exclusive access to “MY UNTITLED.” two weeks before the fair opens to research and discover works that are exhibited at the fair, build their own digital art collection and print their favorite works from the fair in advance of its opening. In a unique partnership with Curiator, MY UNTITLED. will allow users to discover, collect and share art. Visitors to the fair will have this exceptional opportunity throughout the run of the fair.

Free shuttle service near Art Basel Miami Beach begins each day at 10:30am. The pick-up and drop-off is at 17th and Washington, near the southeast corner of the convention center.

Founded in 2002, New Art Dealers Alliance (NADA) is a not-for-profit collective of professionals working with contemporary art. Our mission is to create an open flow of information, support, and collaboration within our field and to develop a stronger sense of community among our constituency. NADA’s fair is held in parallel with Art Basel Miami Beach and is recognized as a much needed alternative assembly of the world’s youngest and strongest art galleries dealing with emerging Contemporary Art. It is the only major American art fair to be run by a non-profit organization.

Our international group of members includes both galleries and individuals (art professionals, independent curators, and established gallery directors). The various perspectives and ideas offered by our diverse roster creates a network which, at its most basic, is a resource which people could contribute to and take as much (or as little) as they are inclined. The benefits for some may be a matter of business, for others a source of intellectual or aesthetic stimulation.

To date, our initiatives have succeeded on two fronts: making the contemporary arts more accessible for the general public, and creating opportunities that nurture the growth of emerging artists, curators, and galleries. Our EVENTS have included: artist talks/gallery walks with critics and curators; benefits in support of charitable institutions; members-only seminars to stimulate dedication and ethics in our profession; and an annual art fair in Miami, which is held in December and is free and open to the public.

Ten years ago, a small fair for collectible design named design.05 Miami launched concurrently with Art Basel Miami Beach. Located in the Moore Building in the Miami Design District, it offered a selection of fifteen invited exhibitors, with the stated aim of bringing museum-quality galleries together with the best collectors, connoisseurs, and designers from around the world in one of the premier destinations for art and design.

Remaining true to that aim, the intervening decade has seen the blossoming and expansion of the fair alongside the market for collectible design, evidenced by the number of participating galleries, which has almost tripled in that period. As it has matured, Design Miami/ has lead the field in establishing new global standards for creative and inspiring exhibitions, turning the fair into an essential destination for the design press and enthusiasts as well as collectors.

Rodman Primack, Executive Director of Design Miami/ stated, “The fair grew out of the need for a consolidated marketplace that would act as a platform to showcase the range and strength of what was then a fledgling market.” Adding, “Since then, the collectible design market has really changed in scale; it’s internationalized and diversified, and this is reflected very clearly in the fair. Design Miami/ has changed the way galleries engage with their audiences. I am excited to see this ecosystem bringing so many distinct viewpoints and aesthetics together.”

The burgeoning interest in contemporary design from around the US is particularly evident this year, with the invitation of first-time participants Edward Cella Art+Architecture of LA and Gallery Diet of Miami. These two newcomers to the fair are joined by returning participants Volume Gallery, Chicago and Johnson Trading Gallery from New York. Design Miami/ 2014 also welcomes regular participants of the Basel fair, Galleria O., Rome, specializing in Italian twentieth century and international contemporary design, Galerie Pascal Cuisinier from Paris, with their focus on French design from the 1960s and 70s, Carwan Gallery, Beirut, emphasizing work from Western designers interpreting Middle Eastern craft and Nilufar Gallery, Milan, known for Italian postwar design.

The Miami fair and its Basel sibling have maintained strong bonds with the founding galleries that participated in that first design.05 Miami. Eleven founding galleries of the original fifteen – including the previously mentioned Nilufar Gallery, Casati Gallery, Cristina Grajales Gallery, Demisch Danant, Galerie kreo, Galerie Patrick Seguin, Jousse Entreprise, LAFFANOUR-Galerie Downtown, Magen H Gallery, R & Company and Hostler Burrows – will be participating in Design Miami/ 2014.

Zesty Meyers, Principal of R & Company, New York commented, “I think what we’ve accomplished in ten years is amazing. Design Miami/ and Design Miami/ Basel have brought a global audience to us: because of them, I don’t know what languages will be spoken in my gallery today. The power of acting under the Design Miami/ umbrella as a group of galleries attracts buyers that we’d never attract individually – we keep on getting first time buyers. Because of the clients we have through Design Miami/, we can invest in scholarship and research; we can publish major books and hold museum shows. At a certain point, these pieces we are selling from the twentieth century will be gone – we’re saving history with these works, and creating future history with the contemporary.”

Equally excited by the future as it is inspired by the past, Design Miami/ is launching two new forward-looking initiatives this year: the exhibition strand Design Curio, and the Design Visionary award.

Conceived as contemporary cabinets of curiosity, the four independently curated Design Curio booths scattered throughout the fair will take the widest possible view of design practice. They will go beyond the scope of collectible design to embrace diverse fields from science and technology, to handcraft, and from unrealized prototypes to esoteric collections.

Design Visionary
The new Design Visionary award from Design Miami/ celebrates individuals who have significantly contributed to the field of design, such as collectors, curators, architects and luminaries who influence and are engaged in design in the broadest sense. The laureate of the Design Visionary award is recognized as having a continued, tangible and lasting impact.

The inaugural Design Visionary award will be presented to Peter Marino in December 2014. With this award, Design Miami/ recognizes Marino for his achievements as an architect, for his knowledge and status as a collector of design, art and the decorative arts, and for the impact he has had as an advisor on contemporary and twentieth century design to his numerous clients.

Commenting on the first edition of this award, Primack stated, “This award is about recognizing the figures that have really propelled the world of design in the broader sense. Peter is a great talent, and is also an amazing patron of others’ talents. His knowledge of furniture, his ability to create collections in design and his work with leading brands to help them understand the importance of bringing design voices into their world have substantially impacted the market and the language of design”.

Marino founded his eponymous architecture, planning and design studio in New York in 1978 having trained with I. M. Pei and George Nelson. Early clients included Andy Warhol, Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé, and Gianni and Marella Agnelli.

Alongside his work with private clients, Marino has redefined luxury in the retail space, creating store environments around the world for houses such as Chanel, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Bulgari, Graff and Ermenegildo Zegna, commissioning site specific works of art for many of them. His numerous collections include contemporary art and design, photographs, porcelain, and Renaissance and Baroque bronzes, the latter of which were shown at London’s Wallace Collection in 2010 in the exhibition Beauty and Power: Renaissance and Baroque Bronzes from the Peter Marino Collection. In 2012 he was named a Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Ministry of Culture.

At Design Miami/ 2014, Marino will be the subject of an exhibition celebrating his multiple roles within the world of design. In a stand-alone display space designed by the architect, the exhibition will feature antique and contemporary chairs from his collection, architectural maquettes and images, and his series of cast bronze boxes.

Pavilion Commission
Minneapolis-based designer Jonathan Muecke has been commissioned to create the Pavilion for the tenth anniversary of Design Miami/.

The Design Miami/ Pavilion Commission has become an important feature of the fair. An ephemeral extension of the fair space itself, the pavilion is at once an exhibit and a piece of functional temporary architecture. While the commission is traditionally given to an early career architect or studio, for its tenth anniversary Design Miami/ has selected a designer whose practice reflects the multifaceted nature of the fair itself.

Alexandra Cunningham Cameron, Creative Director at Design Miami/ commented, “For our tenth anniversary, we wanted to pay homage to the type of young designer that Design Miami/ wishes to champion – one who experiments with materials, form and scale; who is as much a theorist as a maker; and who challenges us to consider how we relate to the world built around us.”

Jonathan Muecke studied architecture at Iowa State, interning at the architectural office of Herzog & de Meuron in Basel, Switzerland before studying design at the Cranbrook Academy of Art. Muecke has evolved a design practice that resists standard divisions between design, art and architecture, instead focusing on refined forms that investigate notions of positive and negative space, positional relationships to structures and the innate desire to read notions of functionality into objects that relate to human scale.

Centered around a double-layered circular structure with apertures at both poles, Jonathan Muecke’s Design Miami Pavilion (DMP) is designed on a human scale, rejecting monumentality in favor of lightness and variability. Filtered through a translucent canopy that shelters the whole structure, light will bounce off the curved and colored surfaces of the pavilion – complementary tones of red and green within, primary blue and yellow without – creating a shifting topography of reflected color. Seamlessly shaped seating units made from composite will allow visitors a moment of quiet reflection in a space conceived in part as a refuge from the hyper-stimulating environment of the fair itself.

Aqua Art Miami is pleased to announce its roster of confirmed exhibitors for Art Week, when the popular contemporary art fair runs Dec. 3 through Dec. 7, 2014. Long known as one of the top emerging art fairs during Miami Art Week, Aqua Art Miami is critically recognized for presenting vibrant and noteworthy international art programs showcasing emerging and mid-career artists.

Set within a classic Art Deco hotel on South Beach with spacious exhibition rooms that open onto a breezy, charming courtyard, the unique fair has become a favorite gathering spot during the busy week to acquire work, exchange ideas and discover new pieces by well-known artists as well as names new to the international art market. Under its new ownership by Art Miami LLC, Aqua 2013’s VIP Preview opened with a line of collectors down Collins Avenue waiting to gain entrance – a first in the history of the fair – and closed on a high note with record breaking sales, outstanding press coverage, and overall attendance of more than 10,000 visitors, which doubled from previous years.

Aqua Art Miami’s 2014 edition will feature 46 international exhibitors and a dynamic range of high-quality art that maintains the fair’s signature unique atmosphere and energy, showcasing emerging and mid-career artists working in all media from painting, photography and works on paper to design, sculpture, installation, video and multimedia art. “Aqua’s affiliation with Art Miami has clearly expanded the fair’s ability to reach out to new galleries as well as collecting audiences,” said Director Jennifer Jacobs. “Aqua’s unique setting and increasingly refined environment transcends notions of the typical hotel fair, and we’re incredibly excited for this edition, celebrating Aqua’s 10th Anniversary and highlighting the fair’s continuing curatorial evolution. We’re welcoming back some of the established exhibitors that have defined the fair’s success over the years along with fresh galleries new to the Miami art scene, together presenting an exciting roster of solo exhibitions and projects spanning visual art, multimedia, and performance.”

For the first time in Aqua’s history, exhibitors were selected through an Advisory Committee, comprised of Mat Gleason of Coagula Curatorial, Los Angeles, Nancy Toomey of Toomey Tourrell Fine Art, San Francisco, and Henry Chung and Robert Walden of Robert Henry Contemporary, Brooklyn, NY. Approximately half of the galleries who have contributed to Aqua’s success over the years are returning for the 2014 edition, with a number of new participants traveling to the fair from the Americas, Asia and Europe, many exhibiting in Miami for the first time. Aqua will also debut a design exhibitor for the first time in its history, with Industry Gallery of Los Angeles/Washington DC transforming the hotel’s penthouse; and as in years past, the online network and magazine ArtSlant will unveil the winners of a yearlong contest to select several artists from an international open call juried by a panel of art world luminaries.

In honor of the fair’s 10th anniversary, Aqua will present innovative performance programs encouraging audience participation in the creative process. Highlights include: Coagula Curatorial presenting renowned performance artist Karen Finley, who will reprise her Artist Anonymous series of ‘meetings’ encouraging audiences to explore their relationship with art. This series originally premiered as part of the Museum of Art and Design’s 2014 MAD Biennial; Elizabeth Leach Gallery will present MK Guth’s Advice Station, part psychiatry office and part information booth. Here visitors can sit and talk about their experiences and offer their tips, pointers and opinions about the art fairs in Miami, to be included in a book that can be ordered and shipped after the fair. These projects will be enhanced by a number of pop-up installations and ‘performance interruptions’ curated throughout the week, enhancing the fair experience for Aqua visitors.

These facets will add to the unique and invigorating atmosphere that has made Aqua Art Miami’s opening the annual destination on Wednesday of Art Week for influential collectors, connoisseurs and art professionals who migrate en masse from Art Basel Miami Beach’s VIP Preview a short walk away. This exclusive first view starting at 3 PM encourages VIP Cardholders to explore the room displays until the festivities wind down at 10 PM, gaining insight from exhibitors and artists while seizing the opportunity to acquire work before the fair opens to the public at noon the following day.

The following galleries have been confirmed for participation at Aqua Art Miami 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).

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).

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.

Since 2005, PULSE Contemporary Art Fair has been the premiere satellite fair for the discovery and acquisition of cutting-edge contemporary art. With annual editions in Miami Beach and New York City, the fair cultivates a supportive environment for its international community of galleries and provides a platform for their growth and expansion in the contemporary art market. From its inception, PULSE has presented thoughtfully-curated exhibitions and ever-evolving programming that reflect the fair’s commitment to making the visitor experience a dynamic one.

PULSE Contemporary Art Fair is delighted to announce its 2014 Miami Beach programming highlights and PULSE Prize nominees for its tenth anniversary edition. With over 170 exhibiting artists presented by a select group of exhibitors from Asia, Europe and the Americas, PULSE Miami Beach will offer visitors a dynamic environment in which to discover and collect cutting-edge contemporary art.

PULSE Projects, the fair’s presentation of large-scale installations and performance, will feature a piece by Ontario-based artist Shayne Dark, presented by Art Mûr. Tangle Wood (below), Dark’s meditative 8x18x10’ painted wood sculpture, is a reference to log driving on North American rivers in the early part of the century. Jenna Spevack will also present Birds of Brooklyn, an audio installation that brings the sounds of displaced and bygone birds to sites in Brooklyn and Miami, courtesy of the artist and Mixed Greens.

PULSE Play, the fair’s platform for new media and video art, will be presented by Tumblr and curated by new media scholar Lindsay Howard. For PULSE Play, Howard will select a group of artists whose work is thematically linked from among exhibiting galleries. “Video and New Media Art have become essential components of contemporary art collections. The artists included in PULSE Play are experimenting with the aesthetics and technical aspects of emergent technologies, through topics such as religion, poetry, human form, light, and performance,” explains Lindsay Howard. The PULSE Play selections will be on view on PULSE’s Tumblr, and at the fair.

PULSE is honored to present the PULSE Prize—a cash grant awarded directly to a jury-selected artist of distinction who is being exhibited in a solo booth at the fair. The New York 2014 winner of the PULSE Prize was Hassan Hajjaj, presented by GUSFORD | los angeles.

Young Patronesses of the Opera celebrated their 59th Annual Gala Cocktail Reception at The Betsy Hotel By Betty Alvarez

The Betsy Hotel, La Fenice Prosecco, Leatrice Damus, Maria-Rosa Lopez-Munoz & Barbara Reese hosted a Swanky evening of cocktails and hors d’oeuvres at the downstairs B-bar of the The Betsy on South Beach on October 5th, to celebrate the wonderful benefactors snd underwriters of the upcoming 59th Annual Young Patronesses of the Opera Gala “Hat Spats & Pearls… A Toast to the Roaring 20’s.” Guests received a favor of Satin Glow Gold dust by Prestige Cosmetics to carry the sparkle of the evening with them.

The annual YPO Gala – now in its 59th year – is considered among Miami’s oldest and most prestigious black tie affairs. This elegant soiree, organized by Lisa Wheeler, President of YPO and Gala Chairs Laurel Auerbacher, Amal Kabbani, Patty Scerpella, Lori Thomas and Lise-Marie Wertanzl, will feature a silent auction, live entertainment, dancing, and a three-course meal to raise funds for YPO’s music education programs.

The Gatsby-style party will evoke the excitement of the era and many spirited YPO members and guests will forego traditional ball gowns and black-tie for imaginative designs which reflect the era of flappers, starlets, gangsters and aristocrats. During a cocktail hour guests will enjoy an inspired silent auction, followed by dinner, dancing to the 8-piece band, Manhattan Music, and entertainment by the internationally-acclaimed singers Poperazzi.

Founded almost 60 years ago in 1955, YPO is a volunteer group of 100 dedicated women who advocate for music and opera education to children in South Florida. Proceeds raised at Hat Spats and Pearls will be used to fund 100% of YPO’s music and opera educational programs. Every year, YPO presents a workshop for more than 500 Girl Scouts, and a professional development Teacher Workshop on opera in the classroom for Miami-Dade and Broward County teachers. YPO also brings professional children’s opera performances to more than 30,000 elementary students annually. This year, YPO will expand its musical outreach program to children who are hospitalized. In addition, YPO also presents a national voice competition for aspiring young opera singers. This year it is slated for April 16-18 at the colony Theatre on Miami Beach.

For Tickets, sponsorship and underwriting information for Hats Spats and Pearls, please contact Lisa Wheeler at President@ypo-miami.org or at 305-794-1761.

South Beach Vision’s Grand Opening: The Eye of the Beer Holder

South Beach Vision has opened its doors in the luxurious Waverly Condominium building, overlooking Biscayne Bay. If you care about quality and value customer service, we have you in our sights. That’s why our motto is “Focused On You”, a unique concept in today’s healthcare environment. We offer complimentary valet parking, beer, wine, and espresso to our patients. Our medical director, Dr. Adam L. Stelzer, has been recognized as a premiere eye doctor in the State of Florida and is the only American Board of Optometry nationally board certified optometrist in Miami Beach. He was voted “Young Optometrist of the Year” by his colleagues in 2012. Experience a concierge-style eye examination and find something special in our exquisite spectacle and sunglass collection. Interested in contact lenses or a LASIK consultation? Those are two of our specialties. We are open late and on Saturdays.

We also believe in charity and giving back to our community. Dr. Stelzer has a long history with The Miami Lighthouse for the Blind. Their dedication to the visually impaired is unparalleled and is a model for charitable organizations across the nation. South Beach Vision will be selling custom engraved wine glasses and beer pints with all profit donated to the Miami Lighthouse. We are Focused On You…and our less fortunate.

We created a space where you can relax before and after your exam. We are tired of seeing patients given a number and told to wait in line for far too long. This is a revolutionary twist on the common doctor’s office and we take pride in serving each of our unique patients. We strive to create an unforgettably warm experience, from the atmosphere of the office the moment you walk in, throughout the entire exam, and even while choosing the next addition to your collection of eyewear.

Come discover South Beach Vision.

Miami’s Independent Thinkers Local Art Series 9/25/14

Miami’s Independent Thinkers Local Art Series
Thursday, September 25, 7:00pm – 9:00pm
The James Royal Palm
1545 Collins Ave
Miami Beach, Florida 33139
Please RSVP to RSVP@MIAMITHINKERS.COM

Miami’s Independent Thinkers, in partnership with The James Royal Palm, presents Local Art Series. Join us this month to celebrate local artists David Gary Lloyd,
Michael Zimmerer, and Redinger-Libolt.
Admission: FREE
Complementary cocktails & bites provided by Florida Cookery
Music by Jorge Vicens (DJ V)

Inspired by the sociological effects of the advertising world, David Gary Lloyd unfolds symbolic photographs to challenge the messages conveyed by mass marketing. Lloyd’s works communicate messages of religion in mainstream media, identity complications, human/nature sacrifice, and the effects of mass consumerism. David has also developed “Narrated Moments”, which relate positive outlooks and advice through the homeless, gypsies and street dwellers of Miami, who go against the common grain of society. David received diplomas in Photography and Graphic Design from the Savannah College of Art and Design. Exhibitions of his work have been held in Venues ranging from Miami, New York and Vermont. Lloyd currently lives and works from the eclectic art neighborhood Wynwood located in Miami. Alongside fellow photographer Michelle Citrin, David Co-owns the contemporary portrait studio Neox Image. http://DavidGaryLloyd.com/

After traveling significant distances, Michael Zimmerer began to see the world differently, especially the wilderness. It was no longer his childhood playground, a resource or a fantasy to explore; but environments that taught, learned and breathed on their own. In each of his projects he is not just documenting where he has traversed, but discovering and exploring what it means to be a place. He wants to encourage the viewer to reconsider their world, be it under the sky or inside their minds. His work is about seeing the world in a new way, not a new angle or a new development, but about vision and understanding. He wants to explore the Earth, and everything involved in it. Zimmerer’s work ranges from telling the story of an elegant land turned dark and decrepit, to the discovery of self, and how easily so many of us lose in ourselves that which seems impossible to really lose. In his images his goal is for people to find their roots in the world, and in themselves.

“Sea Shades”, a photographic series by Redinger-Libolt, the combined talents of Scott and Cristina Redinger-Libolt, explores the personality of our ocean as seen from Miami Beach and how it varies from day-to-day, minute-to-minute. Minimal and graphic compositions are employed in attempts to remove the photographer’s perspective and allow the sea it’s own voice, uniquely expressed in each photograph. Since moving to Miami Beach in 2009, Redinger-Libolt’s photographs have appeared in Ocean Drive, Miami Magazine, Interiors Magazine, Forbes, Conde Nast, Marie Claire and have exhibited photography at Miami Independent Thinkers Satellite Art Fair during Art Basel 2011. http://www.facebook.com/redingerliboltphoto

Miami’s Independent Thinkers is an organization dedicated to the unity, development and promotion of Miami’s flourishing art community. Our assemblage embraces established, emerging and young artists, visionaries and intellectuals. Our mission is to provide a sustainable support base for Miami’s creative community, including: painters, photographers, filmmakers, sculptors, animators, writers, musicians, performance and new media artists.

Ayurveda is the Indian traditional holistic approach to life and health. It roots back more than 5,000 years and is believed by many to be the oldest and more comprehensive health and wellness care system. The central concept of Ayurveda is the theory that health exists when there is a balance between three fundamental bodily humors or doshas called Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Every part of us is governed by these three doshas. Skin is no exception. Many skin conditions are thought to be caused by a dosha imbalance. If you know your skin dosha and which dosha is imbalanced, it will be easier to treat any skin conditions you have.

In this workshop, I will teach you the techniques to find out your skin dosha and help you detect any imbalances you may have. I can also help you simply maintain the health of your skin. I will then show you how to correct your skin issues with the help of Ayurvedic herbs and oils, diet, and lifestyle choices.
At the end of the workshop, all students will be able to make their own beauty products based on their skin type & challenges.

In this workshop you will:
1. Learn about the doshas and find out your dosha skin type
2. Learn the 7 beauty steps for healthy skin taught by Ayurveda
3. Learn to align your diet and lifestyle to your skin dosha or imbalances
4. Design your own dinacharya (daily routine) to enhance the health of your skin
5. Learn about the top Ayurvedic herbs for skincare, along with their uses and benefits
6. Formulate and take home authentic Ayurvedic skincare kit based on your dosha (1 herbal face pack, 1 scrub, and 1 cleanser)
