Adrienne Arsht Center
Knight Concert Hall
Tickets from $16

Celebrate the end of a fantastic season with the unbridled romance of Tchaikovsky and the rich talents of MTT and pianist Vladimir Feltsman. Enjoy a lively lyric scene from Tchaikovsky’s opera Eugene Onegin as Conducting Fellow Edward Abrams brings the elegant Polonaise to life. His First Piano Concerto has endlessly been parodied by Liberace stylings, but in the hands of fellow Russian Feltsman, this work is pure genius and beauty. The musical and biographical journey ends with his Fifth Symphony, where MTT navigates through the dense score of incandescent sensibilities and erupting violent outbursts. Broward patrons: take advantage of our round-trip bus service to Sunday’s performance. Call the box office for more details!

Every Little Step

Directed by James D. Stern & Adam Del Deo
FLORIDA PREMIERE
Saturday, April 25
9:40PM | Regal 18

In 1974 Broadway darling Michael Bennet gathered a group of stage dancers, affectionately known asgypsies, together and recorded their life stories. It is from those very recordings that the world-widehit musical A Chorus Line was born. For the first time, we are taken back to those confessional sessions and hear excerpts from the actual recordings as the filmmakers follow the creation of the original stage show, and then its recent revival while introducing us to the original cast and creative team and the budding talent who are auditioning.

An obvious choice for musical lovers, Every Little Step is a superbly made film that brings an audience together for a journey that is exhilarating, heartbreaking, and completely unforgettable.

Directors James D. Stern & Adam Del Deo will be in attendance.

For Tickets: Members $7 Non-Members $11

ART DECO FILM SERIES
Tuesday 14 April
7:00 pm

FILM NOIR CLASSICS
Film noir, a cinematic term used primarily to describe stylish Hollywood crime dramas, often emphasizes moral ambiguity and sexual motivation, derived from the hard-boiled school of crime fiction that emerged in the United States during the Depression. Hollywood’s classic film noir period is generally regarded as stretching from the early 1940s to the late 1950s, and films of this genre are associated with a low-key black-and-white visual style that has roots in German Expressionist cinematography.

Scarlet Street
Directed by Fritz Lang
USA/1945/101 minutes/B&W
A box-office hit in its day (despite being banned in three states), Scarlet Street is perhaps legendary director Fritz Lang’s (M, Metropolis) finest American film. When middle-aged milquetoast Chris Cross (Edward G. Robinson–Double Indemnity, Little Caesar) rescues street-walking bad girl Kitty (Joan Bennett–The Reckless Moment) from the rain-slicked gutters of an eerily artificial backlot Greenwich Village, he plunges headlong into a whirlpool of lust, larceny and revenge. As Chris’ obsession with the irresistibly vulgar Kitty grows, the meek cashier is seduced, corrupted, humiliated and transformed into an avenging monster before implacable fate and perverse justice triumph in the most satisfyingly downbeat denouement in the history of American film. Free admission.

Location: Art Deco Education Center at Historic City Hall, 1130 Washington Av, Miami Beach

Surfboards And Skateboards Opening May 5 At World Erotic Art Museum 5/5/09

Gregory De La Haba, Internationally Famed Sculptor Who Created An Art Basel Furor When He Exhibited His Now Legendary Installation, “Equus Erectus: Between Nothingness And Paradise,” To Premier ‘Surfboards And Skateboards’ Opening May 5 At World Erotic Art Museum

Recalled as having been a major sensation when his sculpture of a rearing horse in tumescence scored major international attention during Art Basel 2008, Gregory de la Haba will return to South Florida, Tuesday, May 5 to launch a month long exhibit of his newest works, “Skateboards and Surfboards,” at the World Erotic Art Museum,1205 Washington Avenue.

Long respected as an accomplished draftsman who embraces a conceptual approach to his art, de la Haba’s now famed “Between Nothingness and Paradise” is considered to have been triggered as a young boy through his heritage as the grandson of a wealthy Spanish grandfather who opened the first casinos in Puerto Rico and, alternately, of a poor Irish grandfather who daily patronized the local OTB, creating for de la Haba a persona equal parts devoted to gambling reflected by his ownership of a Saratoga winner’s circle horse, as he was to art.

A cum laude graduate of Harvard University as well as a star pupil at the Museum School of Fine Arts in Boston, de la Haba attended La Universidad del Sacrado Corazon in Santurce, PR, and the Artes Plasticas in San Juan and in rapid succession thereafter, received several awards from the Copley Society which was to lead him to scholarships at the New York Academy of Art, international travels, and ultimately, to a major career as a figurative artist.

Seen through such high profile work as his acclaimed taxidermic equines first unveiled in Miami and now in a solo show at New York’s Jack the Pelican Presents gallery, de la Haba also created the Bacchanalia mural at Atlantic City’s Caesar’s Palace commissioned by John Tunney III. The artist’s latest erotically charged art is a mural project for a bar in Los Angeles commissioned by Sean McPherson, among the owners of New York’s high profile “in” spots, the Bowery Hotel, The Maritime Hotel and the Waverly Inn.

For his show at the World Erotic Art Museum, de la Haba will illustrate yet another side of his artistic persona via a series of eight surfboards using them as “canvases” for his original erotic arts scenes. Additionally, de la Haba will exhibit blow-ups of the famous works which have caused such an international furor.

On opening night, de la Haba and WEAM owner/curator Naomi Wilzig will auction off a surfboard to help fund the Carlos Collazo Scholarship created by de la Haba to honor the memory of the pioneering and gifted Puerto Rican artist who died of AIDS.

The World Erotic Art Museum is located at 1205 Washington Avenue, Miami Beach. Open from 11 A.M. to midnight, admission is $15 per person, not on under 18 admitted. Information is available at (305) 532-9336 or via www.weam.com.

ART DECO FILM SERIES
Made in Miami Beach
Saturday 11 April
11:00 am
Join us for a series of films that are set (and substantially filmed) in Miami Beach in the 1940s and 50s. These films feature great directors, compelling performances, and glamorous (and not so glamorous!) hotels in Miami Beach’s golden years.
bellboy_stamp
The Bellboy
Directed by Jerry Lewis
USA/1960/71 minutes/B&W
Filmed on location at the Fountainebleu Hotel, The Bellboy marks Jerry Lewis’ first film as writer-director-star. Though its gags are variable, the film works on every level. It’s both contemporary (love that jazzy MiMo architecture!) and a throwback to two-reel comedies of the late-silent/early-sound era, though it most closely resembles Jacques Tati’s M. Hulot’s Holiday (1953) in terms of structure and pacing. And, like Tati’s film, it keeps dialogue to a minimum, rendering its nearly-silent protagonist more an observer than force of action. Free admission.

The First Annual Miami Latin Gay Film Festival has been announced to make its premiere engagement April 16-19, 2009 in Miami Beach.

Festival organizer and Executive Director Jim Dobson unveiled a sneak peak at the four day event to take place in South Beach which will coincide with Miami Gay Pride Weekend.

“I am thrilled to be able to bring this exciting venture into South Beach filling a much needed gap in alternative programming for the Latino Gay community” said Dobson. “Through my six years of working with the Miami Gay & Lesbian Film Festival, I have noticed a huge demand for Latin Gay films and programming that was not always possible. The few Latin films programmed were always the first to sell out which proved a definite demand by the community.”

The Miami Latin Gay Film Festival will open on Thursday, April 16 with a Gala Premiere presentation at the Colony Theater followed by a spectacular party, all on Lincoln Road in South Beach. The Festival will continue with screenings, panels, music events and a few surprises along the way. Closing Night Awards Gala and screening will take place on Sunday, April 19 at the Colony Theater followed by a special musical event and party.

The mission of the Miami Latin Gay Film Festival is to showcase and nurture existing and emerging creative talent while serving as a springboard and catalyst for the promotion of Gay Latin films and filmmakers as well as highlight exciting Latino talent in other areas including music.

A premier Latino Gay International Film Festival in the USA, MLGFF will eventually become the prominent venue for exhibition of the best of Gay Latin cinema and artistry from the United States, Latin America, Mexico, Spain, Portugal and beyond.

The Festival will present feature films, documentaries, shorts and special retrospective screenings. The films presented at the Festival showcase a wide variety of themes by Gay Latino filmmakers, producers, writers and actors, as well as movies that depict Gay Latino culture. It is a competitive festival with prizes and a venue where filmmakers and artists can come together with buyers and industry.

The Miami Latin Gay Film Festival will also run the “Best of the Fest” simultaneously with the Ft. Lauderdale International Film Festival as well as contributing a substantial donation from its Closing Night to Care Resource.

El Orejon is an agoraphobic crime boss who lives surrounded by telescopes in a luxury high-rise apartment in the center of Cali, Colombia. When his godson is killed he asks a voodoo priestess to avenge the murder by casting a deadly spell on the shooter, Eusebio. Miles away, Victor is hired by the boss to carry out a job, but makes a disastrous decision to break the sacred law of the crime world and keeps the cash for himself. As the stash of money passes from hand to hand, who will have the wits to be the last one standing?
WINNER: Gramado Film Festival Best Director, Best Actor, Best Cinematography
Guadalajara Mexican Film Festival Best Actor
Official Selection: Sundance Film Festival, Miami Int. Film Festival
“Dog Eat Dog” is a very funny film, not in the traditional devices of the one-liner and wisecracks, but in a more subtle language of facial expressions. The slow but confident pace, which is engaging and tense, is unusual in a film of its type and gives lie to just how boring the frantic editing of recent thrillers has become.”-Quiet Earth

Opening Reception For From Miami With Love 4/17/09

Posted on    by

Friday 17 April
7:00 pm

OPENING RECEPTION FOR FROM MIAMI WITH LOVE

Some of the earliest pioneers in the rediscovery and renovation of Miami Beach’s Art Deco buildings in the 1980s and 90s were gay artists and designers. Having found inexpensive work and living spaces, they were inspired by the dazzling tropical light and growing diversity of South Beach to create art expressing homoerotic themes.

The exhibition From Miami With Love includes works by some of these local artists, as well as from gay and lesbian artists worldwide. The exhibit has been organized by the Cultural Center of Spain (CCE), as a part of a traveling contemporary art show entitled Historias de Amor (Love Stories), a selection of more than 50 pieces from Colección Visible, a Spanish foundation that has been working for years in creating a gay-oriented art collection. The foundation’s objective is to create a gay art museum in Spain where works by the most relevant 20th Century artists could be presented, and to highlight the role on homosexuals in contemporary art.

In addition to the exhibit, CCE and Hardcore will offer several parallel activities to the 2009 Miami Beach Gay Pride, including the special preview of the Spanish musical Tómbola by Marisol, at the Miami Beach Cinematheque, a Spanish gay film series, and a roundtable for gay activists and experts in contemporary art on the importance of art in the fight for homosexual rights to be held in the Bass Museum.

The exhibit will be open weekdays from 10 am to 5 pm until the end of April. Free admission.

Location: Art Deco Education Center at Historic City Hall, 1130 Washington Av, Miami Beach
Information: 305-672-2014

Jelaluddin Rumi, a 13th century mystical poet, has been America’s best-selling poet for many years.
His books have sold more than a million copies in the U.S. Rumi’s universal legacy – through his personal life, writings, and practices – is to live in peace, to serve the highest calling, to celebrate diversity, and to love all.

Hear the poetry of Rumi, dramatically spoken live by Peter Rogen in English and Amir Vahab in Farsi, accompanied by three wonderful Sufi musicians: Arsalaan playing the nay flute and harp, Osiris on frame drum and other percussions, and Amir on nay flute, tanbour, and drums. The music of the nay flute and tanbour is improvised (“taksim”) in the authentic Turkish and Persian styles. The musicians may also provide spontaneous Sufi chanting to accompany some of the poems.

The HKLM Family has the pleasure to present the best HOUSE DJS under only one roof!
Yves LaRock / David Vendetta / Guru Josh Project / Vandalism / UmaK
YVES LAROCK is a frenzied self-taught producer and international DJ who has developed a highly distinctive and personal style in the last two years, with ‘Zookey’ in 2005, ‘Rise up’ in 2007 and the release of his new single ‘By your side’ in 2008.
Influenced no doubt by his hip hop roots, ten years in the swing of things have inevitably left their mark; Yves hit upon the idea of blending House and Zouk, Ragga and Reggae in an original style. The search for ethnic instruments, steel drums, balafons or banjos was a creative choice, reflecting a truly personal style, for fear no doubt of becoming too repetitive and of being catalogued in a style straight jacket.
One of the best dj producer of the French touch, DAVID VENDETTA first came to our musical attention in 2006 when he produced the Hit ” Love to love you baby “, using the famous vocal of Donna Summer in the break. This track got massive support from all the biggest DJ’s in the world and exploded David on to the International scene. His next track was equally as big ‘Unidos para la Musica’ with the fabulous voice of Akram…
Add this together with a nomination for best French DJ at the NRJ MUSIC AWARDS 2007 ! and you can see there is no letting up for David.
The GURU JOSH PROJECT consists of Guru Josh (writer/artist) DazPerkz (Dj/Producer) and Snakebyte (Producer/Engineer). The Guru Josh Project’s live show consists of the Guru playing live..DazPerkz spinning tunes before and after, Snakebyte sound and visual direction. In 2008, they re-released Infinity as Infinity 2008, which was remixed by the German DJ, Klaas. It experienced widespread success, peaking at #1 on the Belgian, Dutch and French Singles Charts, Danish Singles Chart, Czech Republic Airplay Chart, Eurochart Hot 100 and #3 on the UK Singles Chart.
And, VANDALISM who are on a mapped out neurotic mission to bring back to life your senses are the new visionaries of music. The Electro House sounds they have discovered and conquered are something Ford Prefect will have never encountered in his journeys. Vandalism consists of the talents of Cassie, Andy Van and Kam Denny. The lifestyle they have created with their music is a 1080 experience of sounds and vibes that you would not know how to explain but that you will lavishly feel imploding in your bones and exploding through your veins.
The Party Continues at Hed Kandi Lounge. Come enjoy the best House Anthems and funkiest beats on our dancefloor…

migs
A Great Hed Kandi Lounge Event
Miguel Migs / Mark Doyle / Uma K / Tavin Reiter / Edward Allen / Frank Johnson
MIGUEL MIGS stands at the forefront of electronic music’s soulful realm. Whether tackling his original productions or remixes, he achieves an organic-soulful sound by combining the best of both the electronic music world and live instrumentation.
His impressive discography includes more than 100 original productions and remixes on seminal independent labels such as Salted Music, Naked Music, Astrelwerks, Yoshitoshi, NRK, Black Vinyl, Large, Chez, Transport recordings, Om Records, Defected Records and many others. His recordings have consistently made waves in the underground circuit and have landed on DJ hype charts internationally. He goes highly regarded when it comes to remixes, having worked with major label artists such as Macy Gray, Lionel Ritchie and Britney Spears. Miguel additionally has released numerous mix CD compilations on labels including Defected, Naked Music, Southport Weekender and NRK.
Never one to sit still, Migs started his own label Salted Music in 2004. Having been associated with an extensive number of labels throughout his career, he came to realize a desire to have his own base, a vehicle for building his own catalogue of quality material. Salted Music is a foundation for Migs to choose and release music that inspires him, as well as release his own productions and compilations.
March 2007 saw the release of ‘THOSE THINGS’, Miguel’s sophomore album released on his very own Salted Music imprint. “Those Things represents an open-minded musical spectrum that can have multi-meaning and definition combining forward thinking electronic music elements with live instrumentation inspired by old soul, funk, reggae, jazz, rock and hip-hop,’states San Francisco-based Migs about his follow-up to his 2002 debut album ‘Colorful You’ (Astralwerks/Naked Music). ). The album received massive acclaim and support worldwide and features Sadat X from ‘Brand Nubian’, Lisa Shaw, LT, Fred Ross from the legendary ‘Family Stone’, reggae heavy weight Junior Reid, and Tim Fuller.
Miguel can be found regularly traveling the globe as one of the industries top-leading DJs, as well as at home in the studio writing and creating music, which is his main love and passion. “It’s all about the balance between the touring and traveling, studio work and everything else in life.” Miguel says, ” Music has no boundaries and I get inspired by everything around me.” Migs certainly draws no limits to his artistry.
MARK DOYLE, the main man behind Fierce Angel Records. The compiler of the CDs, A&R for the record label and headline DJ at the events across the world.
His phenomenal career all started back in 1999 when he created Hed Kandi and developed the brand as a lifestyle concept, incorporating a record label, a radio show and international club nights that stimulated all the senses.
During Mark’s tenure, Hed Kandi sold over five million albums worldwide and his unique A&R and marketing vision helped them deliver a string of Top 40 singles and significant artist album sales as he developed an artist roster.
In addition, he developed a career as a radio DJ, creating the weekly Hed Kandi Radio Show broadcast on JAZZFM/Smooth FM and the Galaxy network in the UK and through syndications around the world.
Surely one of the most creative, energetic human beings currently walking the planet, Mark launched Tokyo Project with his partners in 2005, with the release of the critically acclaimed CD ‘Tokyo Project – The Collection’. That Project is now complete and Mark has used the invaluable lessons that he has learnt along the way to launch Fierce Angel – his absolute vision of what a record label and events brand really should be. This will be the most exciting phase of Mark’s career to date.

PEDRO
Colony Theater
SUNDAY, MARCH 22ND @ 7:00pm
pedro
In 1994, Bunim/Murray Productions made the groundbreaking decision to cast openly gay, HIV-positive Cuban-American and Miami resident Pedro Zamora as part of MTV’s The Real World: San Francisco. Zamora’s time in the Real World house on Lombard Street brought a face to the AIDS crisis; and U.S. President Bill Clinton credited Zamora with personalizing and humanizing those with the disease.

PEDRO celebrates the extraordinary life of Pedro Zamora, a young man who when he found out he was HIV positive at 17, made the courageous decision to dedicate the rest of his life to speaking out about his condition in an attempt to raise awareness about the disease in his community, even testifying before the United States Congress to argue for more explicit HIV/AIDS educational programs aimed at youth of color before auditioning for The Real World in 1993. His appearance on The Real World brought his story and his message to MTV’s youthful audience and beyond, and when Zamora’s health began to deteriorate in late 1994 (after he left the show), it became front page news nationwide, and his death at age 22 provoked a worldwide outpouring of grief. This amazing feature film was written by ACADEMY AWARD Winner Dustin Lance BLack (MILK) and features a stellar performance by Miami resident Alex Loynaz as Pedro.

DONT MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY TO MEET THE CAST OF PEDRO & MEMBERS OF THE ZAMORA FAMILY!

Funkshion: Fashion Week Miami Beach
March 25-28 2009

Gen Art invites Producer Level members to the solo runway debut of KRELwear Fall 2009 Collection at Funkshion Fashion Week. Classic black and white is re-invented by expanding the fiber content to combine sustainable cotton, bamboo and metallic with recycled acrylics; modern stripes are juxtaposed with fiber contrast and hints of sparkle.

About KRELwear
KRELwear was launched as an innovative knitwear brand in 2004, at Gen Art’s Miami’s Fresh Faces in Fashion show, debuting its first collection of one-of-a-kind, hand-knit “deconstructed” dresses and separates made with ribbed and tubular knitting techniques- all executed in a wide array of yarn and texture combinations. Since its inception, KRELwear has cultivated an astonishingly loyal following, developing its line by combining minimal cuts with unique textiles, creative construction, and a mixture of fibers. Each season, the line is completely re-invented while maintaining sexy, yet sophisticated silhouettes.

Encounters at the End of the World 3/18/09

Posted on    by

18 WED 8:30pm
An MBC Premiere HD Digital Presentation
In collaboration with Emerging Pictures
2008 Oscar® Nominee, Best Documentary Feature!
Encounters at the End of the World
“Off the Map, Things Get Strange”
(Directed by Werner Herzog/2008)

There is a hidden society at the end of the world. One thousand men and women live together under unbelievably close quarters in Antarctica, risking their lives and sanity in search of cutting-edge science. Now, for the first time, an outsider has been admitted. In his first documentary
since Grizzly Man, Werner Herzog, accompanied only by his cameraman, traveled to Antarctica, with rare access to the raw beauty and raw humanity of the ultimate Down Under. Encounters
at the End of the World, Herzog’s latest meditation on nature, explores this land of Fire, Ice
and corrosive Solitude.
This screening is sponsored by NAPAPIJRI and includes a gift bag
and refreshments!
“You don’t necessarily have to hike though the Amazon (or Antarctica) to authentically wear Napapijri. The journey can be physical or psychological. Function has its root in the brand, but so does fashion.”-Steven Klick, South Beach Napapijri Store Manager

JOHN WATERS at the Lincoln Theater Miami Beach 5/1/09

Posted on    by


Friday, May 1st 8pm

“An Evening with John Waters”
This Filthy World – Dirty & Filthier

The Miami Gay & Lesbian Film Festival & Edison Farrow are proud to present an evening with the iconic, irreverent, and deliciously twisted John Waters!

The man who brought us Hairspray, Pink Flamingos, and made Divine a cult-icon will take to the stage of the Lincoln Theater on South Beach for one-night only, in his first South Florida stage appearance in over a decade!

John Waters’ one-man show is a “vaudeville” act that celebrates the film career and obsessive tastes of the man William Burroughs once called “The Pope of Trash.” Focusing in on Waters’ early negative artistic influences and his fascination with true crime, exploitation films, fashion lunacy, and the extremes of the contemporary art world, this joyously devious monologue elevates all that is trashy in life into a call to arms to “filth followers” everywhere.

VIP TICKETS
VIP ticket holders will receive reserved prime seating in the orchestra pit, as well as admittance to a private Meet & Greet reception with John Waters. Tickets are limited and will sell out!

MDPL presents Frank Sinatra (and the Cardozo Hotel) in “A Hole in the Head” 3/14/09

Posted on    by

FILMS AT THE LIBRARY
Saturday 14 March
11:00 am

MADE IN MIAMI BEACH
Join us for a series of films that are set (and substantially filmed) in Miami Beach in the 1940s and 50s. These films feature great directors, compelling performances, and glamorous (and not so glamorous!) hotels in Miami Beach’s golden years.

A Hole in the Head
Directed by Frank Capra
USA/1959/120 minutes/Color

Like most of director Frank Capra’s films, this film is an observant portrait of the fighting man and his repressive surroundings, but Capra offers a variation of the theme by revealing the obstacles as self-made. Tony Manetta (Frank Sinatra) is a gambler and womanizer, who blows his money at the first opportunity and now faces eviction and loss of his business (an Ocean Drive hotel known in the film as the “Garden of Eden” – but in real life the Cardozo Hotel). Complicating his worries is his young son who lives with him. Despite their troubles, they want to stick together, because they’re not only a family, but also a team. Free admission.

Location: Miami Beach Regional Library, 227 22nd St, Miami Beach

Erotic Charged Dance from Montreal Marie Chouinard at the Colony Theatre 3/13-14/09

Posted on    by

CompagnieMarie Chouinard
The Rite of Spring and Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun
Florida Premieres

DATE & TIME Friday & Saturday March 13 & 14, 2009 8:30 pm

TICKETS $50 VIP ticket, priority entrance and seating
$25 General Admission
$20 Students/Seniors w/ ID

Marie Chouinard is a choreographer who cannot be mistaken for anyone else. Her Montreal-based company has received worldwide acclaim for its angular, startling and moving dance works. This weekend they make a triumphal return to Miami with two outstanding pieces that showcase Chouinard’s unique and distinctive style. In The Rite of Spring, working with Stravinsky’s music, Chouinard, through sensual, almost primal choreography, mines the intimate mysterious depths of each of her dancers. The totem-like costumes that echo the animal world in its violence and beauty add to the dance’s vivid effect. A short solo work, Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun, preceeds The Rite of Spring.
Now a fixture on the world’s major stages and at international festivals, Compagnie Marie Chouinard has its roots in Chouinard’s solo work, which began back in 1978. Her over fifty productions, action-performances, vocal works, installations and films earned her a reputation for daring originality. She refined her lifelong interest in formal research and the human body, going on to form her own dance company in 1990. Through her choreography Chouinard has explored the “poetics of the body” in immediate, intelligible and ever-surprising ways.

This performance includes nudity.

Glass Mosaic Exhibition @ ArtCenter 3/6/09

Posted on    by

Glass Mosaic Exhibition @ ArtCenter March 6

ArtCenter was established in 1984 by a small group of artists who envisioned a potential cultural renaissance in what was then a blighted and vacant Lincoln Road. In partnership with the City of Miami Beach, the group obtained Federal Community Development Block Grant funds to acquire properties and create an artists’ colony in 21 storefront spaces. Since then, ArtCenter has become the cultural and economic catalyst for the revitalization of the Lincoln Road neighborhood and South Beach. In 1986, the City of Miami Beach recognized the success of our founders’ vision by designating ArtCenter’s three-block area as the Lincoln Road Arts District.
Today, Lincoln Road is a lively magnet for culture, entertainment, retail business and community activity, and Miami Beach is arguably the cultural center of South Florida. Now recognized as one of Miami-Dade County’s major cultural institutions, ArtCenter operates from its three historic buildings at 800, 810 and 924 Lincoln Road. The nearly 60,000 square foot campus encompasses 52 artists’ studios, exhibition galleries, art education classrooms and administrative offices. Of the 7.2 million international and national visitors to Miami/South Beach annually, hundreds of thousands walk down Lincoln Road and view ArtCenter’s display windows and exhibitions.
For its role in the shaping of South Florida’s cultural landscape, ArtCenter has received recognition from local media such as New Times, which in 1997 called us the “best gallery in Miami”, and from national media such as The Wall Street Journal, which in 1998 reported that our “presence has transformed the area…into a hub of commerce.” In its May and November 1999 issues featuring the Greater Miami art community, Art in America magazine highlighted ArtCenter’s “impact on the Miami art scene and its emerging profile” describing ArtCenter as “a gathering place for talented and ambitious young Miami artists.”

Film Noir Classics Free 3/10/09

Posted on    by

Tuesday 10 March
7:00 pm

FILM NOIR CLASSICS

Film noir, a cinematic term used primarily to describe stylish Hollywood crime dramas, often emphasizes moral ambiguity and sexual motivation, derived from the hard-boiled school of crime fiction that emerged in the United States during the Depression. Hollywood’s classic film noir period is generally regarded as stretching from the early 1940s to the late 1950s, and films of this genre are associated with a low-key black-and-white visual style that has roots in German Expressionist cinematography.

Contraband
Directed by Michael Powell
UK/1940/88 minutes/B&W

Set in England during the early days of WW II, Contraband stars Conrad Veidt (The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari) and Valerie Hobson (The Bride of Frankenstein) as a Danish sea captain and his enigmatic passenger who are kidnapped by a cell of Nazi spies operating from a basement in London’s Soho. In evocatively Hitchcockian fashion, the plot progresses as a chase that puts the characters in one peculiar set of surroundings after another. What makes Contraband unique is that most of the story takes place under blackout conditions, in which the great city becomes a mysterious dark labyrinth, a potent metaphor for the English population’s general confusion at the start of the war. Free admission.

Art Deco in Shanghai and Miami Beach was published as a coffee table book by Don and Nina Worth as the culmination of a cultural exchange program between the two cities, that began in 2005 when the authors visited Shanghai and met by chance with acclaimed architect Xing Tong He of China.

Texts were written by Tess Johnston of Shanghai and Clotilde Luce of Miami Beach. In pictorial form, the book reveals two disparate cities with surprising architectural similarities.

The official launch party of Skyline Lounge 2/26/09

Posted on    by

Please join us for the official launch party of Skyline Lounge…………… Cocktail reception from 6:30 to 9:30 compliments of Sonnema Vodka

SKYLINE LOUNGE MAKES MIRACLE LANDING ON SOUTH BEACH

( Miami , FL ) February 23, 2009— Miami , Florida- Night life in South Florida is about to be taken to new heights as the newest “Big Apple” import just made a miracle landing in South Beach . The airline themed Skyline Lounge is ready to take guests on a first class voyage as they open their doors Thursday Feb. 26, 2009, from 6:30-9:30pm for a media and cocktail reception hosted by dynamic duo (and siblings) Wilson and Felix Reynoso.

“Wilson and Felix are duplicating the same idea that they successfully launched in the city that never sleeps,” said Bobby Brandt, consultant. New York , where the party never ends was the launch pad for the Reynoso’s flight inspired idea. They went as far as to remove seats, windows, overhead compartments, turbines, and a cockpit from two retired airplanes to adorn Skyline. Skyline is an intimate lounge geared for high end consumers who want to escape the “usual” night clubs that dominate South Beach .

Imagine making your way through the front door and being met by fabulous greeters dressed in flight attendant outfits. As your move through the venue your eyes focus on the two spinning turbines that emit nitrous set up behind the bar that is made up of a DC-9 wing. The typical lounge furniture found in most other venues is no where in sight as airline seats are set up through out the space. The First Class Seating area or what other venues call the VIP section is carefully segregated for those that enjoy some exclusivity. A certain attention to detail is quite apparent as usable overhead compartments are set up around the lounge to serve as a convenient resting place for personal items and the purses of Skylines female patrons. What better way to show off a DJ’s influence over a crowd than to ordain him the pilot of the venue? The center piece is a cockpit removed from a DC-9 which dominates the back wall and serves as the DJ booth.

For in-flight bites, Skyline has enlisted the right talent. Boasting an eclectic menu that was created by acclaimed Chef Frank Jeannetti Skyline offers bite-sized palate pleasing dishes from all over the globe. Jeannetti has a good understanding of what the high-end consumer wants, having created menus for some of North America’s leading restaurants and having worked with some of Tinsel-town’s and Miami’s most finicky stars and celebrities including: Gloria and Emilio Estefan, Will Smith, Hulk Hogan, and Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne. Featuring dishes from Cuba , Vietnam , Hong Kong, and the Middle East , Chef Jeannetti has created a culinary mix for Skyline sure to make patron’s stay a worldly one.

To get this tolling smoothly here in the city of beaches and palm trees, the Reynoso brothers carefully selected the consultation of nightlife veteran Bobby Brandt. Mr. Brandt has over two decades of experience in the night club and service industry in both New York and Miami respectively, owning and operating a total of nine successful club venues and highly acclaimed restaurants. His professional capabilities include: construction, design, layout, bar design and functionality, POS systems, liquor ordering, securing sponsorships, sound systems, house PA, and lighting. He has as acted as City liaison for himself and clients, including licensing and permits, fire department regulations and codes, occupancy, insurance, legal requirements, and negotiating terms. In this capacity, he is greatly responsible for the “launch” of Skyline in South Florida .

Thursday, February 26, 2009 marks the departure date as Skyline celebrates a fabulous grand opening and welcomes VIPs, media, and celebrity guests. Invitees will be treated to a reception from 6:30 pm to 10:00 pm featuring delicious hors de oeuvres and sponsored by Sonnema VodkaHERB. The grand opening not just represents a change in Miami night life but will also benefit the Pets2Luv organization.
