Join the World Erotic Art Museum and Alliance Francaise South Florida as we celebrate Josephine Baker, the legendary French entertainer who danced at the Folies Bergere music hall at the height of its fame and popularity in the 1920’s becoming the Toast of Paris as well as one of the world’s most beloved activists in search of equal rights.
Long before she was to become internationally famous via her provocative “Banana Dance” as the star of the “Folies Bergere,” “La Baker,” as she was soon to be known, had experienced a dismal childhood as she fought and resisted racial bigotry and segregation. It was in September 1915 when at 19 she left New York for France where she was soon to become fairly worshiped by international audiences. She later added to her extraordinary world-wide mystique as a fearless opponent of oppression who risked her life for the French Resistance during WW II.
Highlighting the opening reception at 7 P.M will feature performance art by famed entertainers Adora, and the extraordinary Mary Trini as Josephine Baker.
Ongoing Exhibition February 1, 2011 – February 27, 2011

BILLBOARD SIGNAGE PROPOSED FOR VACANT STOREFRONTS – AGAIN!
by Miami Design Preservation League
THE ISSUE:
Once again, a proposal to allow full-window signage in store windows has been proposed and will be considered by the Miami Beach City Commission.
The proposal would weakening and liberalize the city’s proven signage laws and seriously harm Miami Beach’s unique character by allowing billboard-sized ads in store windows AND OPEN THE DOOR FOR BILLBOARDS TO BE ERECTED ON THE TOP OF BUILDINGS ALL OVER MIAMI BEACH.
The proposal will be discussed at the Miami Beach Commission’s Land Use and Development Committee meeting on Monday, January 31, 2011. The meeting will begin at 4 PM in the 4th Floor Conference Room.
The justification for weakening the law is that it will allow the city to raise additional revenue by charging a fee for the signage. However, raising minimal additional revenue is not a reason to sacrifice the special appeal that brings residents and tourists to Miami Beach.
Our unique design and architecture allows Miami Beach to stand out from all the other cities in Florida – and indeed the entire nation. Allowing offensive signs to proliferate would drive away the very people who pay real estate taxes, spend money in stores, hotels and restaurants and pump our economic engine.
As originally proposed two months ago, the new law was intended to help landlords defray costs of vacant stores and cover empty store fronts. But that would mean landlords would have reduced incentive to fill the empty stores since they would be earning high additional revenue from the giants signs.
Now, the City Attorney and outside counsel have reviewed the proposal. Their opinion: allowing billboard-sized ads in windows would open the door to challenges to the city’s ban on ANY billboards or giants signs. Hungry landlords could legally justify erecting giant, illuminated signs all over town. Such signs would loom over the streets, destroy the skyline and ruin the character of Miami Beach.
WHAT YOU CAN DO:
Attend the Commission’s Land Use and Development Committee meeting.
When: Monday, January 31, 2010 at 4 PM.
Where: Miami Beach City Hall, City Manager’s Large Conference Room, 4th Floor.
and…or
Write the Mayor and Commissioners:

ART LEXING presents “Growing pains of a Lotus”
Wednesday January 26, 5:30-9PM
4500 BIscayne bld Suite 300
www.artlexing.com
ART LEXÃNG unveils the new year 2011 with a group show:
Growing Pains of a Lotus presents five established artists from China.
“The lotus flower is one of the most profound symbols of femininity in Asian culture. In Buddhism, the lotus symbolizes Bodhi, the state of total mental purity and spiritual perfection, as well as the womb or embryo of the world. The lotus grows in muddy water and rises above the surface to bloom with re…markable beauty. This pattern of growth parallels the spiritual journey of the modern woman, emerging from the primeval mud of materialism, cleansed by the waters of experience, and ultimately ascending into the bright sunshine of enlightenment. Unhindered by her murky beginning, the lotus, like the a woman awake to herself, rejoices in the purity, divinity, and spiritual growth of her personal evolutionâ€
Artists Bo Yun, Cui Xiuwen, Maleonn, Wang Xiaojin and Ye Hongxing illustrate contrasting experiences in the life of the Lotus/Woman. These reflections are contemporary and ancient, reflections of modern times and the mysterious traditions of the Ming dynasty in China. Their works represent inspiring commentary on critical issues affecting today’s woman, including romantic love, transcience, self-discovery, youthful pregnancy…and life itself.
The exhibition of Growing pains of a lotus opens on Wednesday January 26th and ends on February 25th.
Please RSVP to info@artlexing.com
For any additional information or assistance, please contact the gallery at info@artlexing.com
Bo Yun “Mid summer lotusâ€, 2009
Bo Yun is one of the founding members of the momentous “Star Groupâ€, together with ten other prominent Chinese artists including Ai Weiwei. In 1979, “The stars group†shattered the stranglehold of Communist Party orthodoxy and set the stage for the future freedom of artistic expression in China. His semi-abstract compositions of landscapes at dawn or dusk have a tranquil, dreamlike serenity reflective of traditional Asian perspectives entangled with shades of pathos and emotion. Bo Yun’s works appear in The Rothschild Family and Deutsche Bank collections, among many others.
Maleonn, “Days on the cotton candyâ€, 2005
Maleonn is a talented Shanghai photographer who has gained a cult following with his fable-driven work. In 2008, four of Maleonn’s works from his “Days on the Cotton Candy†were curated into a major exhibition called “China Design Nowâ€, at London’s Victoria & Albert Museum. One of those works was selected for the honor of appearing as the two-page frontispiece of the book published by the V&A Museum to coincide with the exhibition.
Cui Xiuwen, “Angelâ€, 2006
Cui Xiuwen is among the best known female artists in China. Her works have been collected by Centre Pompidou in Paris and have appeared numerous times in major museums around the world, including the MOMA and the prestigious Tate Modern in London. Her “Angel Series†combines adult themes with teenage innocence as she portrays a young girl’s experience growing up…a process which, in the eyes of Cui Xiuwen, is no less stressful and difficult despite the progress women have had in society.
Wang Xiaojin, “Two ladies in an opium bedâ€, 2008
Unlike many contemporary Chinese artists who are attracted by all things modern, Wang Xiaojin is a modernist driven and inspired by the distant past, particularly its women and artistry. Critics claimed that Wang Xiaojin’s artworks have best captured the mood of a bygone era that was altogether most refined and conservative and a time when being “feminine†typified a woman’s existence. Possessing a neoclassical position within contemporary Chinese artists, Wang Xiaojin crosses chronological boundaries in his work, challenging us to see the new in the old…and the old in the new.
Ye Hongxing “Brilliant Color – Love Infatuation No.8â€, 2010
Ye Hongxing employs traditional Chinese motifs and flower patterns in her attention-grabbing fusion series. By combining the traditionally Western medium of oil paint together with Chinese decorative patterns, the result is a striking amalgam of modern Western technique melded with a distinctly pan-Asian feel. Each painting in this series is an alluring self-portraits in which her face — with eyes closed – rises transcendentally behind bright winding floral patterns. The peace projected in her face is unmistakable, a Zen-filled ocean of harmony contrasting with the lush, vibrant flowers and vines characteristic of luxurious porcelain dishes.. The artist claims that her particular form of fusion is her reaction to the “swift change of China’s social systemâ€.

Jeremy Waks creates naturally-lush childhood sanctuary to play backdrop to one’s midnight escapades
TREEHOUSE, a new Miami Beach nightclub, will celebrate its debut with a grand opening reception on Friday, January 28, 2011, 10 PM to midnight, featuring complimentary cocktails and music by DJ Troy Kurtz and Canadian DJ duo Ess & Emm. The warm and welcoming indoor/outdoor space will be an adult playground-of-sorts designed and owned by nightlife purveyor Jeremy Waks. Positioned at 323 23rd Street in South Beach, TREEHOUSE is smartly located among a bevy of hotels and clubs nearby such as The W, Gansevoort Miami Beach, and the Setai Hotel.
The 8,000-square-foot venue boasts three different rooms, each laying ground to a new environment. Upon entering TREEHOUSE, guests will find themselves in a small, intimate boîte that evokes the warmth of a ski-lodge. Lounge seating is accented by ribbons of raw teak wood lining the walls, along with a black button-laced bar draped in cargo netting that anchors the space. The main room lies just beyond, and its wood-laced walls are complimented by stadium-style black leather banquet seating, along with inventive lighting and sound for a high-energy atmosphere. The cool outdoor area serves as the nightclub’s third room, where guests can lounge amidst plush greenery and enjoy views of night sky in a candlelit Wynwood Art District-inspired setting.
TREEHOUSE is the newest venture by 26-year old Waks, the entrepreneur that previously launched Miami Beach-based Heathrow Lounge. “I always had a clear vision of a space that would evoke all the childhood charm of a tree house, but filtered through a mature taste-level, while presenting the gritty undertones of Miami’s art enclaves,†says Waks. “TREEHOUSE is a sophisticated version of a fantastical getaway and serves as a local hideout to those looking for nightlife with a downtown sensibility in South Beach.â€
Waks seeks to provide an ideal nightlife destination for savvy club-goers via TREEHOUSE’s focus on specialty drinks and its lineup of high-caliber entertainment and productions. He will layer the club’s content and formatting with a variety of cultural heavy-hitters, in addition to a music lineup from Miami-cult icon the Overthrow, which will range from open-format, to nu-wave dance and electro. “TREEHOUSE is anchored to a large mesh of Miami’s art and nightlife roots; essentially, this is locals building a TREEHOUSE, for locals,†says Waks with conviction.
TREEHOUSE is an 8,000-square-foot indoor/outdoor lounge-nightclub, a sophisticated environment reminiscent of a childhood getaway. TREEHOUSE is open Friday and Saturday from 10 PM to 4 AM.
Valet and self parking are available. For more information, please call 305.674.4478 or visit www.treehousemiami.com.

We went to La Ventana Colombian Restaurant on Washington Street, such a cute little place. Â I had the Colombian hot dog and it was so yummy, it had bacon, pineapple sauce, cheese, pink sauce and potato strings, it had a little bit to it and was awesome. Â I also order a side of yuca fritas and chicharron and both were really good. Â James order the fish soup, more like fish stew, it had large chucks of fish, yuca, corn and plantains, it was awesome. Â Mark order then Carne en Salsa Criolla, steak in creole sauce with rice, salad and yuca fritas. Â The creole sauce was so amazing. Â They serve a couple of different sauces you can put on your food, the spicy one was my favorite. Â Everything on their menu sounds so good, can’t wait to go back and try something different.

Cutting-edge Architectural Design Defines New Miami Beach Cultural Venue — ExoStage Provides Unique Outdoor Arts Experience —
Miami Beach, FL – Already one of the world’s great cultural, vacation destinations and a wonderful community to live, work and play, the City of Miami Beach is now home to the newest cultural destination in the greater Miami area. Emblematic of the City’s ongoing investment in the arts is the emergence of a new cultural venue opening in the City Center of Miami Beach – Miami Beach SoundScape.
“This world-class venue, together with the Frank Gehry-designed new campus for the New World Symphony next door, will capture the spirit and vitality of Miami Beach and serve as a geographical and cultural hub for the city,†said Miami Beach City Manager Jorge M. Gonzalez. “There is no other venue like it in the area, and we know that SoundScape will become synonymous with great cultural locations and experiences for residents and visitors alike.â€
Scheduled to open on January 25, 2011, the Miami Beach SoundScape is framed by the vibrant Lincoln Road Mall, the Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theater, the Miami Beach Convention Center, and the New World Symphony’s New World Center campus. This flexible, outdoor multi-use space is everything but ordinary. As its name implies, this public area is about music, sound, art, culture, landscape and people.
Designed by world-renowned Dutch architectural firm West 8 New York, the two-and-a- half acre Miami Beach SoundScape contains unique features in its design. One-of-a- kind steel pergolas inspired by the puffy cumulous clouds of the tropical climate join seat walls in an undulating landscape and “veils†of palm tree plantings that conceal and reveal views. A mosaic of meandering pathways connects all corners of the space.
By far one of SoundScape’s most anticipated features is the ExoStage @ the Miami Beach SoundScape. The open, grassy viewing area faces a 7,000 square foot projection wall on the eastern front of the New World Center building. Complete with a world-class audio system, ExoStage after dark will provide a canvas for video art, music, film and simulcasts of concerts playing inside New World Center.
Miami Beach SoundScape opens in conjunction with the New World Center, an extraordinary environment for education and performance that is the first purpose-built
We are committed to providing excellent public service and safety to all who live, work and play in our vibrant, tropical, historic community.
home of New World Symphony, America’s Orchestral Academy. Designed by Frank Gehry, in close collaboration with New World Symphony’s founder and artistic director Michael Tilson Thomas, the dynamic and flexible building is conceived as a laboratory for generating new ways to teach, present and experience music. The 100,641-square- foot building lies to the west of Miami Beach SoundScape, into which it will extend its programming.
The $13 million SoundScape project broke ground in summer 2010 and was completed on time and on budget. Additional improvements were also made to the surrounding infrastructure and street, including Lincoln Lane North.
As an added convenience for area visitors, the Frank Gehry-designed Pennsylvania Avenue public parking garage just west of New World Center is, open. This fully self- serve garage features 550 parking spaces and approximately 8,000 square feet of first class retail space. The garage provides access to the campus via a third floor covered walkway and is illuminated with LED lights at night.

Artists For The Walking Wounded
Saturday, January 22, 6:00pm – 12:00am
The Raleigh Hotel
1775 Collins Avenue
Miami Beach, FL
Facebook evite.
On January 22, 2011, from 6pm to 12am, Erich Neumann and Diamond David Lee will be hosting, along with the below listed sponsors and contributors, (including local artists and DJs), a fundraiser and silent auction for the The Walking Wounded Charity to benefit the veterans and families living with injuries suffered from our foreign wars. The location for this event will be at the Raleigh Hotel, 1775 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach, FL 33139. The Raleigh has generously donated their time, property and staff as they believe in this event and feel that it is a noble cause.
THE EVENT:
This event will be held in the “Oasis” section of the Raleigh Hotel located in the quaint sand portion of the eastern side of the property, due to the fact that there will be a “live mural” being created on canvases hung laterally, suspended via the palm trees to create an artificial wall. The benefit will consist of the artists working on the mural, while having live DJ and video performances. There will also be several other young Miami artists showing their original pieces (some donated for the silent auction) during the event. This will be much more than a simple, live performance mural, rather it will be a venue to raise awareness to those who have literally laid down their lives for us and our country and a celebration of all of the freedoms for which they sacrificed. Every artist, DJ, and contributor of this event believes in this cause, as they understand the importance of highlighting the service of those who have freely have given their lives and bodies for our country.
All of the participating artists are donating their time and art for this event and silent auction, which will be held between 10:30pm, and 11:30pm. Bidding for the donated pieces will start immediately once the doors to the event open at 6 pm.

Muse Luxury Group to Present the True Religion Swimwear Fashion Show at SET
SET
320 Lincoln Rd
Miami Beach, Florida 33139
Saturday, Jan. 22nd, 1am
Who said that winter was not the season for bathing suits? Muse Luxury Group, the Miami-based PR, special events and marketing company specialized in luxury, is organizing this Saturday, Jan.22nd a fashion show to present the new True Religion Swimwear collection in Miami for those who can’t wait to soak up the sun.
The runway show will take place at 1am at Set, an Opium group nightclub and one of the most sought-after venues in Miami.
Guests will receive special gift bags filled with the latest must-use products and get to have an amazing fashion experience in a very upscale, party atmosphere.
This exclusive event promises to be exciting as it is the very first time that the new 2011 True Religion Swimwear collection is showcased to the public and to the press in Miami since IMG Mercedes-Benz Swim Week.
“This season is all about returning to the roots of the True Religion brand,” said Arthur about her first year designing the collection. “We will design timeless fashions that complement the brand’s hippie identity while offering signature touches of pop-color, unique stitch-work and playful embellishments to the popular True Religion logo.”
“The new line is a reflection of various inspirations including retro, pop culture icons and styles as well as the contemporary casual looks seen on the streets of Los Angeles today.” Arthur said.
At True Religion, the message is peace, love, and happiness as models stepped out as if they were at Woodstock. Barefoot in beaded bracelets, dream-catcher pendants, scarves, and fringe, it was clear as Jim Morrison blared that hippie chic and boho flair still hadn’t lost their edge. Neon boy shorts, denim-looking suits accented with leather and fringed bags, and leopard-print vests took us on a trip. The brand show denim swimwear for women, including a bikini trimmed in suede, a denim bustier, and a one piece. Also on the 2011 collection are bohemian tie-dye bikinis, rocker-girl suits covered in studs.
Celebrities who favor the brand include Madonna, Shakira, Janet Jackson, David Beckham, Eva Longoria, Kim Kardashian, Jessica Alba, Christina Milian and Hillary Swank.

Alhambra Antiques

www.alhambraantiques.com
Alhambra presents a new exhibition of mixed media works by Jacksonville artist Steve Williams. With these works, Mr. Williams delves into an exploration of the familiar and exotic through the lens of currency. The history, the craft, the colors, the iconography, even the act of counterfeiting, become relatable, mutable elements. By examining currency in its domestic and foreign forms, Williams sheds light on these complex interrelationships and uncovers the myths we tell ourselves, the assets that we shelter, and our potentially destructive behaviors – all driven by the love of money.
Still on view, 12th Century Fragments from Le Prieure Saint-Michel, an exceptional collection of Romanesque period pieces.

National Retrospective, 40 Years of Performing Together
Since 1972, internationally-recognized Japanese-born choreographer/dancers Eiko & Koma have created a unique and riveting theater of movement out of stillness, shape, light and sound. Emerging from postwar Japan, this duo evokes power and myth. To be performed are Raven, the centerpiece of Eiko & Komas three-year Retrospective, a raw, handcrafted landscape that deals with hunger for nourishment and intimacy, Night Tide and White Dance, revived as part of the Retrospective Project, the first piece that Eiko & Koma performed in America. Includes Nudity.
“As much of a tour de force as we have come to expect of these distinguished artists, who remain in the forefront of contemporary dance by virtue of their daring, imagination and originality… The power of their work derives, aside from the prodigious muscular and rhythmic control of the performances, from the uncompromising purity of their vision.” — Alan M. Kriegsman, Washington Post
From Beijing to Buenos Aires to New York, the MIA- Miami International Art Fair shocases prestigious galleries from over 15 countries.

The Wolfsonian–Fiu Presents ‘Greg Lemond: Breaking Speed Limits’ Public Talk by Three-Time Winner of the Tour de France Presented in Conjunction with ‘Speed Limits’ Exhibition
Friday, January 21 at 7pm
The Wolfsonian
Florida International University
1001 Washington Avenue
Miami Beach, Florida 33139
www.wolfsonian.org
Free for Wolfsonian members, members of the Florida International University community and students, and $10 for all others.
Please join The Wolfsonian–FIU on Friday, January 21 at 7pm for a screening and public talk with Greg LeMond, three-time winner of the Tour de France. The evening begins with the screening of Vive Le Tour, a glimpse of the tour before LeMond conquered it. Following the film, LeMond will share his views on challenging and conquering speed limits through his experiences with the tour and his years at the top of the cycling world.
The evening kicks off with a screening of the short documentary Vive Le Tour (1962, France, Louis Malle), which gives a glimpse into the Tour de France—the most prestigious and demanding three-week bicycle race in the world. Immediately following the film, LeMond will hold a talk with the audience, sharing his views on what it is to challenge and to conquer speed limits from the unique perspective of one who has not only survived the Tour but has won it. As the first American to capture the event, LeMond revolutionized the sport in the 1980s and early 1990s. He was the first successful professional to use clipless pedals, cycling eyewear, modern high tech helmets, and aero bars.
Greg LeMond: Breaking Speed Limits is presented in conjunction with Speed Limits, an exhibition on view at The Wolfsonian that explores the powers and limits of the modern era’s cult of speed and celebrates the hundredth anniversary of Italian Futurism, whose 1909 manifesto proclaimed that “the world’s magnificence has been enriched by a new beauty: the beauty of speed.” The exhibit, on view through February 20, 2011, is jointly organized by The Wolfsonian and the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA), Montréal and includes more than two hundred objects from the two institutions.
Life Is Art is now accepting applications for exhibiting at the River of Art Event at Bar 721 on February 23, 2011. All forms and styles of art are considered, visual, music, performance and design.
River of Art is an ongoing series of art showcases in venues all over Miami and south Florida. Each event showcases south Florida artists in an exciting and unique atmosphere. For February, Bar 721 in Miami Beach has graciously offered their space to host this fun event.
Application Deadline: January 22, 2011
Application Fee: FREE
Hanging Fee: $5.00 per piece (paid on the date of event)
Each artist may submit up to 4 pieces for consideration.
We are also looking for music/DJ and performance artists.

After teaching for 32 yearsin the New York City School system, she returned to Miami in 1999 with renewed enthusiasm for colors and subjects of nature: flowers, landscapes, animals, and seascapes.
A native of Michigan, Diane Lary has made her home in the Florida Redlands.

Diane participates in a number of open air art festivals every year.
Terry Arroyo Mulrooney is an accomplished fine art photographer and painter based in Miami. Born in Venezuela, her first passion was photography with its spatial and perspective characteristics and chiaroscuro, the use of light and dark shades to add contrast or volume to artworks. Terry translates the images from her camera lens into the soft, ethereal style that only watercolors offer.
Miami Watercolor Society: Founded in 1974, the Miami Watercolor Society (MWS) is a volunteer, non-profit organization with more than 130 members and a mission to teach and promote watercolor painting.

More Info.
The Miami Beach Art Deco weekend is a massive festival along Ocean Drive featuring numerous booths selling antiques, clothing, memoribillia, arts and crafts and much else from the Art Deco era. There are food vendors, live performers and numerous other activities.
During the 1920s and 30s, advertisers transitioned from simple one-on-one sales pitches to a broader and more subtle style of engaging larger audiences by eliciting feelings and selling ideas. Coupled with that was the rise in mass circulation magazines, national radio broadcasts, and the influential power of the motion picture—promotion took on a new meaning and advertising was forever altered.
Art Deco Weekend Drive Parade
As is customary, the Art Deco Weekend Ocean Drive Parade will take place on Saturday at 11 a.m.. The Grand Marshal for 2011 will be the renowned Miami Beach Celebrity Elaine Lancaster. The Arf Deco Dog Parade will join along with the main Art Deco Parade. Dog participants and their owners are encouraged to dress in their most glamourous costumes and meet at 10:30 on Sat. Jan.15th at 6th Street and Ocean Drive just north of the yellow wash house in Lummas Park.
The Art Deco Classic Car Fest
The Art Deco Classic Car Fest, sponsored by the South Florida Antique Automobile Club of America, features true classics and awards trophies for best Pre-War and Post- War autos. All classic cars are eligible to be judged and are encouraged to participate.

The general public is also cordially invited to attend Opening Preview.
They may purchase tickets for the affordable price of $50pp. The preview ends at 10pm
Honoring Diana Lowenstein, a respected member of the international art scene, Diane Camber, the former director of the Bass Museum will present a special tribute to the recipient of the 2011 “Arts of Distinction Award†during Opening Preview.
In addition to offering first viewing of America’s most exciting mid-winter contemporary art fair, with 73 exhibitors (25 local and 48 international dealers), Opening Preview of MIA on Thursday, January 13th plays host to an unconventional and energizing new wave of performance projects. For the opening night show organizers, International Fine Arts Expositions (IFAE), have partnered with cultural and community organizations, as well as established and emerging artists, to unveil a bevy of surprises and ensure a comprehensive and “next-generation†experience.
First there is show curator Gean Moreno’s experiential presentation. The noted Miami artist, critic and curator, has created a truly multi-disciplinary playground for audiences through a collaborative effort with SPRING BREAK, a non-profit organization designed to develop new modes of approaching contemporary art and culture within South Florida, and augurari, also a non-profit which publishes audio works by contemporary visual artists. “These groups are pioneering, daring and young. They engage audiences through a combination of music, performance and visual arts,†exclaims Moreno.
Graffiti artist Jona Cerwinske will create magic once again. The artist who gained viral fame for transforming a Lamborghini Gallardo into a jaw-dropping piece of art, and with only a Sharpie, will have at it again. This time with a Porsche Carrera S 911. Additionally, he will paint the the walls of the Rudolf Budja Gallery booth space, the gallery where he is currently exhibiting. Patrons will be able to watch Cerwinske apply his midas touch in an unforgettable performance.
On the heels of a successful sold-out show in Zurich, Russian artist Artem Mirolevich will mesmerize audiences as he blurs the boundaries between painting and performance art with “Transformation.†He begins with a white backdrop. Adds color, depth and texture to create a setting. He then introduces a half- or nearly- naked model who melts into the background and becomes part of the canvas. A videographer will capture it all on film as will professional photos of the completed work.
Last, but certainly not least, is mixed media provocateur Lucinda Linderman, an artist with a powerful message about environmental stewardship. Linderman uses reclaimed plastics and other reusable materials to create her sculptures, installations and mixed media pieces. For the opening night, Linderman unveils a fashion performance entitled “ Excess Extravaganceâ€, which correlates the perceived extravagance and excess of the royal court of the 18th century and the Rococo style with American consumerism today. “For this performance, I am reclaiming plastic to create a dress as extravagant as the dresses worn by Marie Antoinette to bring to light the waste created by our striving to be extravagant,†said Linderman.
Another exciting feature Preview-goers will get to experience first is a revolutionary new Apple application. The free MIA iPhone app powered by Collectrium allows visitors to take a snapshot of any artwork exhibited at the fair and instantly receive extensive information on artist and piece, add their own notes, bookmark it for later, share with friends via social media outlets like Twitter and Facebook and even contact the gallery directly. The app also boasts other nifty features like the ability to view the entire catalogue on your mobile device, see a map of the Show and review programming for the course of the four-day Fair.

Chef Christopher Lee
Chef Christopher Lee began his career at age 14 in his hometown on Long Island, “I always had that sort of sixth sense about food,” Lee says. “I always knew that I wanted to be a Chef. In high school, I used to ditch classes just to watch cooking shows on TV.”
Lee Graduated from the prestigious California Culinary Academy and then went on to hone his culinary talents in some of the country’s most prestigious restaurants, including New York City’s Restaurant Daniel and Jean Georges, and San Francisco’s Fifth Floor.
As Sous Chef at New York’s Oceana, where he worked under Cornelius Gallagher, Lee was integral in redefining the restaurant’s approach to the elegant dining experience. Awarded three stars by the New York Times, the New York Post proclaimed Oceana to be “The city’s best seafood restaurant.”
Selected by Gotham Bar and Grill’s Alfred Portale to be the chef de cuisine at Stephen Starr’s remake of the legendary Striped Bass in Philadelphia, Lee quickly rose to the position of Executive Chef, putting his personal style on all culinary aspects of the restaurant. Under his direction, Striped Bass received widespread critical acclaim, including a highly coveted Four Bells review from the Philadelphia Inquirer, “Best New American Restaurant 2004” in Travel + Leisure, and Gourmet selected it as one of the country’s top restaurants in 2006.
In 2005, Lee was named the James Beard Foundations’ “Rising Star Chef of the Year,” and in 2006 was among Food and Wine’s “Top Ten Best New Chefs.” Returning to New York as Executive Chef of Gilt, Lee earned the restaurant two Michelin stars. In December 2008, Lee was selected by Charlie Palmer to take command of Aureole’s kitchen, just in time for the restaurant’s spring landmark move to the Bank of America Tower at One Bryant Park. “Christopher Lee could not be a better fit for Aureole with his modern American palate, New York roots and bold approach to flavors and wine,” says Palmer.
Since the grand opening, Chef Lee has brought unparalleled success to Aureole including a 29 food rating in Zagat, the highest in NYC for 2009. Additionally, Chef Lee was a contestant on the premiere season of Bravo’s Top Chef Masters and is currently the consulting chef for Orange County Choppers Roadhouse, a full service restaurant, bar, microbrewery, and entertainment experience based on the extraordinarily popular Orange County Choppers brand.
Philosophy
In addition to the following the seasons and the latest culinary trends, Lee finds inspiration in abstract art, which is evident in his plating techniques. Rather than building presentations in the center of the plate, Lee prefers to use the lines, spaces, colors and shapes of the various components of a dish to create a new abstract dining aesthetic. Through juxtaposing soft and crunchy textures, and sweet and sour flavors, Lee’s creations give diners a different experience with each bite.

Reception at CANDO Arts Co-Op
Friday, January 14 at 6pm
309 23RD Street
Miami Beach, FL 33139
Candoartscoop.com
BUTTONS UP, a solo exhibit of sculptures by artist Augusto Esquivel, opens Friday, January 14 at 6pm with a reception at CANDO ARTS CO-OP.
The show features more than fourteen 2 and 3-dimensional sculptures made from thousands of sewing buttons, a body of work that took two years to create.
Sculptures of objects, such as Augusto’s yellow fire hydrant, are constructed by suspending hundreds of buttons from strands of fishing line; the buttons are precisely aligned to create life-size replicas.
Esquivel also gives shape to portraits. The image of Audrey Hepburn is captured in buttons and beads that span across a wall at 104 inches; Red buttons create the face of Marilyn Monroe, mole and all.
The show includes the button portraits of James Dean and Bjork, a life-size upright piano button sculpture, a ball of buttons 32 inches in diameter and a true-to-life-size button toilet!
The unique technique was developed by the artist, who paints the buttons, cuts and drills through acrylic panels and deciphers the exact position of every single button.
A native of Argentina, Augusto Esquivel lives in Miami Beach and is a resident artist of CANDO Arts Co-op.
BUTTONS UP runs through February 6, 2011. CANDO Arts Co-op is located at 309 23rd Street, one block west of Collins Ave, Miami Beach. For more information, contact Augusto Esquivel at 754 423 3437 or CANDO Arts Co-op 305 672 3336.

Cost: $20 at the door or $15 online via Paypal or at www.artsatstjohns.com
Join Instructor Susan Hamilton as she uses a wide palate of movement modalities, including Pilates, as a means of strengthening your mind, body and spirit.
Susan says: “When we are born we are not given a personal ‘owner’s manual’ that tells us how our bodies could Move. And over time we may have learned movement habits — some good, some bad.
“Injuries and our age effect our ability to move with ease — and our quality of life. We need to learn our weaknesses and strengths if we want to continue to Move and Enjoy Life.”
The Workshop Will Help You To:
Identify: your movement habits and patterns and how they effect your posture.
Develop: awareness of how you compensate for weaknesses that you may have in parts of your body.
Explore: your posture through various types of movement, including Pilates, by doing mat and standing exercises. All exercises can be modified for your specific requirements.
Learn: how strengthening your “core” muscles assist in your posture and all of your movements.
Please bring a mat and dress in work-out clothing.
Susan will provide any props needed.

Latin and Jazz influences. Here he
began to develop a Jazz/Fusion
style. The experience greatly influenced Rolando’s musical development.
Leading his own band, Rolando has
recently released his debut CD, “THANKFULâ€. The band is a sextet including Piano/keyboards, Bass, Sax/wind controller, drums and percussion.
His compositions have been called
“masterful†and with the attention
already received, Rolando is pushing
himself to have his voice defined in
music, both as a sideman and as a
band leader.
Rolando’s music is best described in
renowned singer and pianist Darryl
Tookes’ own words:
“Rolando’s guitar playing is on another level, Yet on this higher plane, Rolando’s soulful, creative, twelve-tone improvisatory style is always completely accessible and joyous. Rolando displays a wide variety of styles and concepts with his harmonic and melodic imagery
capturing the essence of musical
freedom, spirit and sensuality.†–: Darryl Tookes

Treehouse Nightclub Opens In Miami Beach

323 23rd Street in South Beach
To RSVP for TREEHOUSE’s soft opening reception, please email treehouse@taraink.com.
Jeremy Waks creates naturally lush childhood sanctuary to play backdrop to one’s midnight escapades
TREEHOUSE, a new Miami Beach nightclub, will celebrate its debut with a soft opening reception on Tuesday, December 28, 2010, 9 PM to midnight, featuring music by DJ Troy Kurtz, Damaged Goods and Canadian DJ duo Ess & Emm. The warm and welcoming indoor/outdoor space will be an adult playground-of-sorts designed and owned by seasoned nightlife purveyor Jeremy Waks. Positioned at 323 23rd Street in South Beach, TREEHOUSE is smartly located among a bevy of hotels and clubs nearby such as The W, Gansevoort Miami Beach, and the Setai Hotel.
The 8,000-square-foot venue boasts three different rooms, each laying ground to a new environment. Upon entering TREEHOUSE, guests will find themselves in a small, intimate boîte featuring plush leather banquettes and ribbons of teak wood lining the walls. The main room lies just beyond and showcases inventive lighting and sound for a high-energy atmosphere. The cool outdoor area serves as the nightclub’s third room, where guests can lounge and enjoy views of night sky in a Wynwood Art District-inspired setting.
TREEHOUSE is the newest venture by 26-year old Waks, the entrepreneur that previously launched Miami Beach-based Heathrow Lounge. “I always had a clear vision of a space that would evoke all the childhood charm of a tree house, but filtered through a mature taste-level, while presenting the gritty undertones of Miami’s art enclaves,†says Waks. “TREEHOUSE is a sophisticated version of a fantastical getaway and serves as a local hideout to those looking for nightlife with a downtown sensibility in South Beach.â€
Waks seeks to provide an ideal nightlife destination for savvy club-goers via TREEHOUSE’s focus on specialty drinks and its lineup of high-caliber entertainment and productions. He will layer the club’s content and formatting with a variety of cultural heavy-hitters, in addition to a music lineup from Miami-cult icon the Overthrow, which will range from open-format, to nu-wave dance and electro. “TREEHOUSE is anchored to a large mesh of Miami’s art and nightlife roots; essentially, this is locals building a TREEHOUSE, for locals,†says Waks with conviction.
TREEHOUSE is an 8,000-square-foot indoor/outdoor lounge-nightclub, a sophisticated environment reminiscent of a childhood getaway. TREEHOUSE is open Friday and Saturday from 10 PM to 4 AM.
Valet and self parking are available. For more information, please call 305.674.4478 or visit www.treehousemiami.com.

Tasting of Cha Cha Rooster at Lords of South Beach on Wednesday, December 22, 2010.  The service and food was amazing, I started off with the Nash salad and the goat cheese and dressing was so awesome, I highly recommend this salad.  For my main course I had the Short Ribs and they were so tender they melted in my mouth, so GOOD.  For desert I had the Midnight Mouse,  it was not what I expected, it was better. I will be going back to try more on their menu.  I love the decor and everything about Lords of South Beach.

Bar 721
721 Lincoln Lane North
Miami Beach, FL
www.bar721.com
By Talmage Thornhill
Please bear with me while I get very excited. Bar 721 makes me unreasonably ecstatic. It is the best bar in Miami Beach, hands down. My enamorment with this establishment is fueled by several crucial factors I shall outline here.
Smoke free? Check!
Amazing happy hour? Check!
Friendly staff and clientele? Check!
Appealing, full liquor cocktail menu with exotic drinks? Check!
Comfortable couches? Clean venue? Nice Decor? Check, Check, Check!
WELCOMES MY DOG!?!?!?!? CHECK!!!!!
So while I calm myself down I’ll also point out that while this is a gay friendly establishment, there has been a mixed crowd every time I’ve visited. It’s large enough to feel spacious but small enough to be manageable and cozy. Music differs from night to night but at times they bring in DJs in the later evening hours. TVs are there and usually on if you would like to watch sports, but no food is served. Friendly staff usually allows you to bring in to-go stuff from local eateries, though.
721 is in the space that used to be the “Laundry Bar.” Please do not let this scare you. There is not a hint of this venue’s former self present any more. Everything has been gutted and it doesn’t resemble the old dive at all. Cheers!
This is a shot of some friends and me celebrating Halloween 2010 at Bar 721, our favorite neighborhood hangout.

Mmmm… I’ll be dreaming about those pork belly dumplings for weeks!
You must go into this place knowing they use very bold flavors. Some things work beautifully, where some would benefit from a little tweaking. Note although the prices are low on each item, you should expect to spend about $75 per person if you want to order freely and have a drink with the meal. The beverage list follows the creative vibe of the food menu, which may be good for some but was a little frustrating for us as we just wanted a simple beer we knew we would enjoy. I did like very much the Siesta Malbec as a match with the food.
The service was great. We were greeted by one of the owners, who was a bit stressed but gave us his undivided attention and personal recommendations as he seated us after a brief wait. Our server(s) were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. The venue itself is decidedly trendy but not in an obnoxious way. The communal table in the middle makes for a friendly, neighborhood feel that is quite lovely.
What they do right, they do perfectly. Pork belly (with butterscotch & pumpkin), dumplings, home made olives, stuffed mussels (and I don’t like mussels) all were phenomenal. Pork belly is their specialty, so I recommend focusing mainly on the dishes that include it. It truly is the best I’ve ever had: perfectly cooked with a pin point accurate balance of fat and meat. The duck dumplings were good, but I have to reiterate how amazing the pork belly dumplings were. The combination of flavors and textures blew my mind. I can’t remember the last time I tasted something so memorable, unique and perfectly delicious.
Some stuff missed the mark for me. The “country ham” was not prepared properly (traditionally). Country Ham was a staple in my southern home growing up, and it’s served warm and thickly cut. Pubbelly served it cold and sliced thin, like lunch meat. It was ok, but should be called something else because anyone who knows what Country Ham is will expect a different product.
I didn’t care for the Short rib Carpaccio. The sauce was made with boquerones, which are like anchovies, so there was an overwhelmingly fishy taste to the dish. I tried to isolate the actual meat to get a feel for its flavor, but the other ingredients lingered and still overpowered the taste. Salt & Pepper Squid was good; the meat was tasty and well cooked but the breading was lacking a certain crunch I was hoping for. We also tried the dates with chorizo, which were tasty, but not a must-have (more chorizo, perhaps?). I was disappointed in the brownie with bacon. Soft serve vanilla ice cream with small pieces of brownie on top and a miniscule crumble of bacon does not an intriguing dish make. I couldn’t taste the bacon at all, even when I isolated it. The pieces were too small and the flavor of the bacon itself was simply weak.
Bottom Line: I shall return to Pubbelly an educated orderer. I’ll take fellow pig product aficionados with me and celebrate in all that is pork belly.

Miami Beach will once again become a gathering place for art lovers across the globe. International Fine Art Expositions (IFAE) announces the Miami International Art Fair (MIA) will return January 14 – 17, 2011 to Miami Beach Convention Center, with a private preview evening January 13th. Lee Ann and David Lester, organizers have designed the fair to be a catalyst for Miami’s finest galleries and international dealers to access the South Florida’s “Snow Bird” winter visitor and seasonal residents. The fair has established cultural partnerships with museums, universities and other art-related institutions to ensure a fully integrated fair with innovative curatorial projects and an extensive lecture and panel series.
MIA 2011 is inaugurating a unique new model for the Miami art community, combining carefully selected contemporary and cutting edge galleries with a strong curatorial program aimed at supporting the Miami art community. The fair will host 65 prestigious international dealers, exhibiting contemporary art, including photography, works on paper, sculpture, installations, art project rooms, and new media from emerging and established artists.
“One of MIA’s goals is to create a place where the international art world can interface with Miami’s dramatically growing local art dealer community now home to over 75 contemporary galleries” said Lee Ann Lester, IFAE founder and organizer of MIA.
Among MIA’s highlights include: a curated exhibition, “Improvising Architectures”, by Miami’s Gean Moreno. The exhibition will showcase the work of five Miami artists – Christy Gast, Adler Guerrier, Nicolas Lobo, Ernesto Oroza and Viking Funeral – alongside that of artists Graham Hudson of London, Felipe Arturo of Bogot�, and Heather Rowe and Carlos Sandoval de Le�n, of New York.
Participation from Miami’s leading dealers will include, Spinello Gallery, Alejandra von Hartz Gallery, Dot Fifty One, Cernuda Arte, Charest Weinberg Gallery, Diana Lowenstein, Zadok Gallery, Cremata Fine Art, Lelia Mordoch Gallery, Black Square Gallery, Rudolf Budja/Artmophere , Galerie Helene Lamarche, Etra Fine Art, America’s Collection, Adamar Fine Arts, Galerie de Arte Ascaso, Elite Editions, and Kavachnina Gallery. International galleries will include galleries from London, Paris, Amsterdam, San Jose (Costa Rica), La Paz, Seoul, Buenos Aries, Mexico City, Sao Paulo, Beijing, Caracas and Bogota.
A vital component to MIA’s 2011 composition is its special exhibitions. Among the 2011 exhibitions include installations, performances and “live studios” by Rob Fischer, Jona Cerwinske, Taro Hattori, David Datuna, Jorge Fernandez, Gretchen Minnhaar, Gordon Halloran, and Claudia Hakim. Black Square Gallery (Miami) will be representing Taro Hattori who will be bringing an actual-size model of an historic military aircraft entitled Till That Morning. Hattori often examines the relationship between objects and emotions in his work in his adaptation of the plane it doesn’t look dangerous. An object that might evoke anxiety is turned into a large child’s toy, innocent and delicate. Rob Fischer will be exhibiting his critically acclaimed “Quarry” of recycled objects and sculptures. Colombia’s renowned fiber artist, Claudia Hakim, will exhibit an interactive installation of woven steel curtains specially commissioned for the Fair.
MIA will honor Wynwood dealer Diana Lowenstein, Diana Lowenstein Gallery, with the first annual “Art Dealer of Distinction Award” for her 21 year commitment to promoting the works of young and emerging artists, as well as her contributions to local and international art associations.
“Miami International Art Fair’s mission is to enrich the lives of its residents through greater understanding of art and to promote the community’s leading galleries throughout the South Florida region,” commented Lee Ann Lester, MIA organizer.
The weekend’s extensive lecture series and panel discussion highlights include: Adriana Herrera, art critic for El Nuevo Herald and ArtNexus Magazine leading a panel discussion of Miami artists; Following will be a lecture and discussion by Elizabeth Cerejido, Curator, Museum of Fine Arts Houston; “The Promise of Miami’s Art World: Conversation” between Thom Collins, new Director of Miami Art Museum and Dennis Scholl Miami collector and National Director of Art Grants, John S. and James L. Knight Foundation; “Art and Education Outside of Schools” with Ruba Katrib, Associate Curator, North Miami Museum of Contemporary Art; “The City as Medium” a panel discussion with artists lead by Rene Morales, Associate Curator, Miami Art Museum; “Transcending National Barriers: Pioneers of Geometric Abstraction in South and North America.” O’Hare, a renowned expert in the field curated the exhibition “Constructive Spirit, Abstract Art in South and North America, 1920-50’s” which t oured major American museums; and “A Conversation on Aboriginal Art, Language, Form and Substance” led by expert David Smith from Amsterdam and Alison Andersen, Aboriginal artist and the only Aboriginal member of the Australian Parliament.

Please Come On All Out To support this amazing Event!
Featuring the Birthday Celebration of Ron D*8*Lim and supporting an amazing Cause to save Sofia Lumi a 31/2 year old girl needing a Liver Transplant! This is the first Event jointly with the National Foundation for Transplant (NFT) in Honor of Sofia Lumi
Sofia Lumi Bentos was born January 8th, 2007. She was just 2 months old, as a horrifying diagnosis, her life dramatically and forever changed…
Her liver had a deficient Biliary Atresia and she went to surgery in March 2007 at the Miami Children’s Hospital. To give her a chance to survive, she needed special care, regular Hospital visits, medications and repeated Blood transfusion, to maintain her hemoglobin levels… Even so it was obvious, that soon or later she needs to undergo a liver transplant, and so to live…
Sofia’s life was not done yet with tragedy and as her journey developed, the parents split, due a reckless, negligent, disrespectful and abusive father… Sofia was more isolated and only her mother’s faith and hope kept her alive. By end 2008 things were about to change for Sofia and her mommy Sanna Vaarna… Love was on its way! Sanna Vaarna a native from the artic Circle – Finland, is a Music Academy pianist-songwriter, and at that time in search, even with the conditions of Sofia to follow her dream, creating and writing Music!
December 2008, I met Sanna Vaarna and her daughter Sofia. Immediately I fell in love with this fun and bright child… We were excited and full of hopes, yet the biological father continued to deceive Sofia by not sharing her new found family by denying, Child support and even we tried to keep a fair and genuine relationship to his daughter, his relation to her eventually faded away…
Sofia is a bright, quirky, creative and full of life little girl. She speaks English, Spanish and Finnish. She knows the ALPHABET and writes and spells words! She’s also drown to the piano and plays the songs ‘Twinkle – Twinkle’, ‘Brother Jacobs (Frere Jacques – French)’ and ‘Happy Birthday’… all that at 31/2 years of age!
In August 2010, Sofia’s Varicous succumbed, and she underwent a scope and banding surgery.
Sofia’s conditions worsened, by the discovery of suspected Tuberculosis spots on her liver which, were previously detected by the Miami Children’s Hospital, but they regarded it as benign …
The New more in depth Analysis at the Jackson Memorial Hospital revealed, it was better to cure it. So since the past 5 months Sofia has been taking 10 medications and 2 IV’s, 24 hours around the clock to cure her acute infection due her liver ceasing completely to work.
Sanna and I have put all our strength to overcome the afforded care and more… Our Sleep shrunk to an average of barely 3 hours a night… We finally overcame the Tuberculosis, and now Sofia is back actively on the Liver Transplant list!
The Tremendous efforts and also the psychological pressures are not avoidable, and in search to surmount all financial issues related to the Transplant procedures, we have joined the National Foundation for Transplants (NFT). Together we will work to raise funds to cover the amazing cost for the pre, during and post transplant –related expenses. The National Foundation for Transplants (NFT) is a national charity dedicated to organizing and guiding communities in raising funds for transplant-needy patients. Hand in Hand and also with your help, we will work together to reach our first Goal and raise an amount of US $ 25,000.00
