photo MIAMI 2009, the critically-acclaimed contemporary international fair for photo-based art, video, and new media is pleased to announce it has secured a new 30,000 square foot venue at N. Miami Avenue and NW 34th Street in Miami’s Wynwood Arts District. Coinciding with Art Basel Miami Beach, pM09 will commence with an opening reception on December 1st. The fair will present a high profile, critically curated invitational featuring a broad range of premiere galleries and visual artists. Additionally, the fair will showcase a select group of applicant exhibitors.

“Since its inaugural run in 2006, Photo Miami has always been successful,” commented pM09’s Charles Guice. “Last year the fair hosted exhibitors from more than 14 countries and is the only major, global photo-based art fair during Art Basel Miami Beach. We had record attendance in 2008-more than double that from the first year-and pre- sales numbers are looking stronger than ever.”

photo MIAMI, the acclaimed contemporary international fair of photo-based art, video, and new media, returns this December with an international roster of galleries from Canada, China, Germany, Italy, Spain, Puerto Rico, the United Kingdom and the U.S. Coinciding again with Art Basel Miami Beach, the fair, themed A Year of Magical Thinking, welcomes a premiere group of returning exhibitors, as well as a number of first-time participants.

Stephen Cohen, who established the fair in 2006 and who currently serves as the fair’s managing director notes, “This year photo MIAMI will offer collectors, curators, and patrons an immediate and comprehensive overview of what a truly international contemporary art fair can be. With a strong curatorial team and an exciting theme, the 2009 edition is looking to be one of the best yet.”

Recently acquired by FOTOmarkt, a newly formed group of investors passionate about photo-based art, photo MIAMI continues its commitment to expanding an already diverse exhibitor pool, as well as a strong focus on featuring both established and emerging artists from the U.S. and abroad.

FOTOmarkt owners Steve Eshelman and Marisa Arango commented, “To have curatorial talent such as Isolde Brielmaier, Charles Guice, and Brookie Maxwell, all who have had significant experience in the contemporary art market, can only result in a high profile, globally relevant selection of premiere galleries.”

“Since its inaugural opening, photo MIAMI has always been successful,” added Guice. “Last year the fair hosted exhibitors from more than fourteen countries and is the only major photo-based art fair during Art Basel Miami Beach. We had record attendance in 2008—more than double that from the first year—and with the roster of galleries we have this year, we expect those numbers to increase significantly.”

Curators
Isolde Brielmaier, Ph.D., a professor at Vassar College and Columbia University and a New York-based curator, has presented exhibitions in the U.S. and abroad. She has also developed programs for museums, corporate clients and international art fairs, including ARCO, Art Chicago and the Armory Show/VOLTA NY.

Charles Guice, Director of Charles Guice Contemporary, has exhibited frequently at contemporary art fairs, including photo l.a., photo MIAMI, and AIPAD, and serves on the Board of Trustees for the California College of the Arts and the Nominating Committee for the Aperture West Book Prize.

Brookie Maxwell, Director of Gallery 138 in New York, has produced numerous theme-based gallery exhibitions, public and private art project commissions, and events addressing the concept of a new world paradigm with groups including Inferential Focus, Facing History and Ourselves, and Women Moves.

Sushisamba Presents Ginzatropicalia: Graffiti Gone Global 2008

Posted on    by

SUSHISAMBA PRESENTS
GINZATROPICALIA: graffiti gone global
FEATURING RENOWNED GRAFFITI ARTISTS AND SKATE SHOW

Trailblazing the way for fusion Japanese, Brazilian and Peruvian concepts, SUSHISAMBA first expanded its culinary palate to include visual arts in December 2007 with the inaugural “GINZATROPICALIA: graffiti gone global” art show. Slated for December 5 to 7, 2008 during Art Basel Miami, the second annual edition has a new curator, a new location, a new vibe and above all, new talent.

Francesco LoCastro, South Florida’s ambassador of the national New Contemporary art scene including Lowbrow, Pop Surrealist and Street Art, will be at the curatorial helm of GINZATROPICALIA. The 3-day exhibition will take place at 3250 NE 1st Avenue, Suite 100 in Midtown Miami, the city’s emerging hub of art and design. With a fresh urban landscape as its backdrop, the progressive South American and Brazilian graffiti movement coupled with iconic Japanese illustration have infused GINZATROPICALIA with a breadth that situates Street Art among its contemporaries. Participating artists include: CENA7 (Michel Ramalho de Toledo), Thais Beltrame, Emol (Emerson de Oliveria Brito), Flip (Felipe Yung), Dres13 (André Greppi), LEBO (David LeBatard), Flavio Samelo, Brian Sensebe, Suiko and Rodrigo Villas.

GINZATROPICALIA is the brainchild of Shimon Bokovza, Concept Developer of SUSHISAMBA restaurants and Sugarcane Lounge, along with partners Danielle Billera and Matt Johnson. “Bringing art to SUSHISAMBA is something that is a natural evolution of our whole concept and experience,” says Bokovza. “For our sophomore year, we have developed a bigger and better program that incorporates many renowned and emerging faces in the art world. We would only call upon the best talent to execute a dream that was sparked with the inception of Art Basel.”

Derived from the Japanese pop culture district of Ginza and from Tropicalia, the radical 1960s art movement of Brazil, GINZATROPICALIA captures the changing landscape of Contemporary Art. The Surrealist Graffiti and Mural Art movement of São Paulo is a snapshot of the thriving genre that stems from a rich political, poetic history. Conversely, the clean and simplified lines characteristic of Japanese graphics bring a satiric dimension to the art form. Whereas graffiti first exploded in the United States in the early 1980s, it continues to surpass all musical, cultural and geographic borders: from urban tagging to curated exhibitions, Street Art comes in all shapes and sizes and by its very nature resists conformity.

With concept, comfort and cuisine unparalleled among the contemporaneous satellite shows, SUSHISAMBA is launching a pop-up restaurant open to the public throughout GINZATROPICALIA. Dubbed SUGARCANE Lounge in congruence with SUSHISAMBA New York and Las Vegas outposts, the ephemeral eatery will offer signature favorites including sushi rolls and small plates. The on-site robata grill, a feature shared only with the new Vegas Strip location, and pop-up concept is but a taste of the full-scale SUGARCANE Lounge that is anticipated to open in Midtown Miami in summer 2009.

“The Street Art movement is the new voice and global consciousness of the ascending youth culture,” said LoCastro. “Showcasing some of the finest talent from the capitals of Japan, Brazil, Peru and the United States under one roof marks the arrival of a long awaited, and very personal, endeavor for me and I am excited to be partnering with SUSHISAMBA to bring GINZATROPICALIA to life.”

For the past decade, LoCastro has been South Florida’s thoroughfare to the New Contemporary art scene in the United States as both a respected artist and as the curator of intrepid exhibitions. Founder of Pop Art Studios, a creative services company and design studio, his group exhibition We’ll Make a Lover of You at ArtCenter/South Florida during Art Basel Miami 2006 received numerous industry accolades. LoCastro, who continues to push the boundaries of emerging art at home and abroad, is also featured among the 100 distinguished artists in the definitive book “Miami Contemporary Artists” (Schiffer Publishing in 2007). Recently named Executive Director of Gen Art’s 1st Annual Vanguard Art Fair, he joins SUSHISAMBA for GINZATROPICALIA 2008. More information about participating artists and exhibition program to follow.

green art fair MIAMI offers the 20 participating art and design galleries, art projects and attending eco-art collector’s access to a unique environment and the ideal space truly superior to any of the other satellite fairs. It is the perfect platform for modern and contemporary galleries and design firms presenting art works and designs that bring new ideas for green living.

Sustainability, economy and efficiency are some of the positive implications that go hand in hand with using recycled/reused materials in art and design, yet the social and cultural implications of reusing materials in the context of art elicit strong support, and we believe, is one of the best ways to reduce waste. Art also is one of the universal languages that can help to stimulate human sensibilities to cause actions and reactions. Since the Dada movement of the early 20th Century, artists and designers have been re-using found objects as a way of commenting on consumer culture, industrial production and the meaning of art. Recycling as a design strategy is often associated with environmentalism, yet it is clearly is more complex than just a desire to tread lightly on the planet. green art fair MIAMI will highlight the different reasons and ways that artists and designers use reclaimed materials in their work and the different cultural implications that these varying strategies invoke. green art USA as an environmental friendly team has taken a number of additional steps to reduce the fair’s environmental impact as part of our contribution to the green movement.

Our online application system and increased electronic communication have reduced the amount of paper used by fair organizers compared to previous years.
The 15,000 sf tent fabric is reused and aluminum recycled and is part sponsor by their Canadian enviro-friendly manufacturer International Tentnology Corp.
We will be using LEDs technology to light up the entire tent, sponsored by Visual Formula LLC. and Omni Stage LLC. All the power we will be using in our events everyday is going to be Solar powered sponsor by our mother Nature Sun, Green-Energy-Products Corp. , Electron Industries and Electron Solar Energy Corp.
We have a program to donate all the tent’s interior design materials to the Habitat for Humanity cause. They will sell the donated items through their Re-store and be the recipients of all proceeds from the 100-Chairs-For-A- Cause Art Project. The goal of this unique art project, sponsored by green art USA, Valley Forge Fabrics and Waste Management Corporation, is to raise enough funds for Habitat for Humanity to build one low-income house locally as part of their Green Movement Miami Mission.
We are going to recycle all waste generated at the event through program sponsor Waste Management Corporation.
We will give away reusable shopping bags that are environmentally friendly, durable and effective to all the attendees. These bags will contain all the promotional material in the art fair and then can be re- used for grocery shopping as part or our campaign “because any action matters…” Concept created by green art USA with the generous support of sponsors: City of Miami, Valley Forge Fabrics and Soho Myriad Corporation.
