Emerson Dorsch is pleased to announce a special installation at the gallery during the week of Art Basel Miami Beach:

CEMETERIUM is a sculpture garden based on the layout and form of a cemetery that will take place in Miami during the week of art fairs, December 1-7. Featuring work by over thirty artists, CEMETERIUM is a hybrid form that takes inspiration from both art fairs and cemeteries, to create a critical context that celebrates the persistence of objects beyond this one week and beyond an artists’ lifetime. Each artist was invited to to present an object, installation or performance on a four by eight foot plot within a fifty by fifty foot yard. In a week where there is an astounding number of artworks on display, and a frenzy of events stacked up throughout each day,CEMETERIUM gathers together a group of artists and objects that reflect an awareness of both the artist at work and the artist at rest.

Opening event Friday, December 5th, Midnight
Participating artists: Cortney Andrews, Katherine Aungier, Amy Brenner, Nicholas Buffon and Allegra Crowther, Jonathan Butt, April Childers, Suntek Chung, Daniel Clapp, Julia Colavita, Jeff Degolier, Vincent Dermody, Corey Escoto, Elise Ferguson, Elizabeth Ferry, Rico Gatson, Amanda Ross-Ho, Takashi Horisaki, Kristen Jensen, Michael Merck, Nicholas Moenich, Steve Pauley, BREYER P-ORRIDGE, William Powhida, Adam Bach and Ellery Royston, Esther Ruiz, Carolyn Salas, Davina Semo, Adam Parker Smith, Trish Tillman, Siebren Versteeg, Derek Weisberg, Amanda Wong

What is Secret Walls?
Secret Walls (formerly Secret Wars) is the World’s premier live illustration battle. Working in a similar way to Fight Club, Secret Walls battles are set up and promoted through word of mouth & social media. Battles take place between 2 individuals, or 2 teams of artists.

Secret Walls began back in 2006 in a small bar in East London, it was small, and intimate yet had the potential to be so much more. Years of hard work, dedication and a strong following has meant Secret Walls has pushed the boundaries and raised the bar for artists and promoters alike on an international stage.

Boasting experience in major cities including NYC, London, Lisbon, Berlin, Tokyo, Copenhagen, Dublin and Amsterdam, proves and many more, proves that there really isn’t a stage big enough for the groundbreaking and award-winning event.

Rules And Regulations For The Competition
90 minutes on the battle clock
Only black SW special markers and black acrylic paint can be used as battle weapons
No pencils / sketches should be on stage or used as reference
Each artist has to stay within the allocated space, if they creep over then there will be a 1 point deduction

What is the most direct link between the art week in Basel and Miami? The answer came curiosly by an Italian painter – Guido Buganza – that this year brings in Miami a collection of paintings inspired by his last trip in the Swiss city during Art Basel. But the artistic challenge is still open, because the exhibition – project aims to bring in Basel 2015 a series of paintings that will be created by the vibrations of the trip to Miami during these December.

The project, at its first edition this year, is a bet on the future that aims to create a potentially infinite exhibition in the cities symbol of art in the world.

The exhibition is at The Hangar Gallery, Wynwood, Miami, from 3 to 31 December 2014.

News: Documentary Film “Right To Wynwood” Released

Posted on    by

PRESS RELEASE

 

righttowynwood

MIAMI, FL – Nov. 3rd, 2014 – As part of the director’s collective effort to continue shedding light on the history behind Miami’s up-and-coming arts district, short film Right to Wynwood will now be available for online streaming to the general public. Winner for ‘Best Documentary’ at the 2013 Miami Short Film Festival, Right to Wynwood explores the causes and effects of gentrification, documenting how a Puerto Rican neighborhood became purposely unaffordable for its low-income residents and morphed into profitable opportunities of redevelopment for the money hungry.

After a series of interviews with developers, gallerists, artists, Puerto Rican residents and community leaders, producer Camila Álvarez and photographer Natalie Edgar carefully observed and documented the rapidly changing patterns of the community in Wynwood and saw the need to tell the story behind the so-called new Arts District in Miami, FL.

Although both Álvarez and Edgar are keen advocates of the opportunities that Wynwood brings to artists, they feel that creating awareness of how gentrification in Wynwood was developer–led instead of it being artist-led, as it happened in places like Soho in New York, or in Berlin, was necessary.

Even though street art started appearing in the neighborhood organically, when local art collective Primary Flight saw the opportunity to make Wynwood their playground, it soon became a marketing tool, when their efforts were co-opted by developers who realized that “including culture and arts in change was the best way to get the most bang for your buck,” as stated by David Lombardi, one of the first developers to start buying properties in the area, said Camila Álvarez, producer and co-director of the film.

The 21-minute documentary can be streamed online at: www.righttowynwood.com

Art + tech + waffles is a winning combination any day of the week, but we hope you will come enjoy it next Wednesday, Nov. 5 at a very special edition of #WaffleWednesday, hosted by LiveNinja.

The weekly tech meet-up in Wynwood is welcoming the South Florida Knight Arts Challenge People’s Choice Award nominees. Over breakfast, the six small arts groups vying for $20,000 will be there to talk about their projects, answer questions – and hopefully secure a few votes.

Below is a bit more about our nominees, and videos of each are up at knightarts.org/peopleschoice. RSVP for Waffle Wednesdays on Eventbrite. Big thanks to LiveNinja and the Arts and Business Council for co-hosting.

FATVillage Arts District: A contemporary art exhibition space in Fort Lauderdale, FATVillage showcases large-scale, interactive works. Right now, the space is only open for its monthly art walks. The prize would help FATVillage open more often, with more programming. (Text VOTE1 to 22333)

HICCUP: The acronym stands for Hialeah Contemporary Culture Project, and the collective works to take art out of galleries and into the streets of Northwest Dade. With funding, HICCUP wants to open-up a basis of operations in Hialeah to launch its works and make the city “a place for creative action.” (Text VOTE2 to 22333)

Ife-Ile: The Afro-Cuban dance troupe wants to expand its annual dance festival, and also to create a musical that is based on the lives and influence of Cubans who came to Miami during the Mariel Boatlift. Through its work, IFE-ILE not only provides a place for Cuban-American artists to practice their craft, but also a place to tell their own stories. (Text VOTE3 to 22333)

Key West Art and Historical Society: The group wants to take the art and history of Key West into schools. One idea, for example, is to take the works of local artist Mario Sanchez, who created scenes of the city, into classrooms as a way to understand the island’s and Monroe County’s history and culture. (Text VOTE4 to 22333)

Swampspace: This Design District gallery run by artist Oliver Sanchez wants to continue to provide an exhibition space that focuses on artistic values rather than profit. The prize would help Swampspace fund more large-scale exhibitions and allow artists to bring their big ideas to fruition (Text VOTE5 to 22333)

Mexican American Council: This long-time community group works to reduce the drop out rate and increase cultural opportunities for Mexican-Americans in South Dade. With funding, the council hopes to open a mariachi academy for students where they can both learn to play instruments and understand Mexican culture. (Text VOTE6 to 22333)

Viophilia presents: Beautiful Death | Christopher Maslow Solo Exhibition

Viophilia resident artist Christopher Maslow debuts his latest project “Beautiful Death”, a series of paintings and installations that explore flowers as symbols of mortality ­ both in their own short lifespan and in their ceremonial presence throughout a person’s lifetime. These new works examine the parallels and intersections of fragility, superficiality, and transiency shared by flowers and human beings. Maslow unfurls a more personal and subtly alarming significance with each blossom, one that is routinely overlooked in our daily encounters with these lifeforms. In a poignant display of similarities and coincidences, and with a touch of nostalgia, Maslow draws the viewer’s attention inward to recharge the appreciation for being alive.
Show preview is November 8th, 2014, 8:00pm till midnight.
Official show is November 15th, 2014, 8:00pm till midnight.

For viewing appointments after November 15th, please call 321.917.6559 or send an email to viophilia@gmail.com.

ABOUT CHRISTOPHER MASLOW

Maslow is a Miami­based fine artist whose creative practice centers primarily around painting and sculpture. A former Los Angeles resident, Maslow graduated in 2003 from The Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising with a degree in product development. He quickly grew into a notable clothing designer and produced for multiple labels in Southern California. A few years into his career as a fashion designer, Maslow found himself gravitating towards street art. Subsequently, after many years of experimentation with multi­media, Maslow realized a greater calling to fine art. Since his transition onto canvas, Maslow has shown artwork in galleries across the United States and has experienced equal success in curation as well. Maslow has been a resident artist at Viophilia since November 2013, and simultaneously runs a studio­ gallery in his hometown of Melbourne, Florida.

Fixed-gear riders from across the South will take their talent to the track in a test of mental stamina, technical precision and raw strength at Red Bull Mini Drome in Miami on November 8. From its original debut in New Zealand and its roots across the pond, Red Bull Mini Drome will come back for another lap in the states with a stop at Mana Wynwood—a prominent hub for innovation in the Wynwood Arts District.

For starters, a fixed-gear (more affectionately known as a fixie) is a bicycle in its purest, simplest form– no gears and sometimes no brakes. Often considered the ultimate marriage between man and machine, a sub-twenty-pound piece of machinery is the only thing separating your body from the hard, unforgiving ground below.

At Red Bull Mini Drome, skill, speed, balance, and braves are brought together on this steep, shrunken down version of the traditional velodrome. With track speeds exceeding 30mph and course measurements of 46 ft. x 24 ft. and 8 ft. high at the end banking, it is sure to be one of the most challenging and treacherous thrill rides to hit the fixed-gear scene. Competitors will need to pedal hard and watch the ledge if they want to take home the winning title.

They are back in Miami for the third time to present their annual concert par excellence! The Living Earth Show will be presenting premiere performances of New York composer Jacob Cooper’s Pasturing (Reprise) and Philadelphian Jonathan Pfeffer’s The Bell, The Ball, The Bow-tie, and the Boot, two pieces that were written for the ensemble’s 2015 collaborative production with Post:Ballet. These works utilize electric guitar, percussion, samples, and other electronic sounds to create woks that dialogue with the classical tradition and contemporary culture in equal measure.

Called “a vanguard effort of new chamber music” and “energetically provocative” by The San Francisco Examiner, “a much sought-after presence on the indie classical scene” by The San Francisco Classical Voice, and “a fully distorted perpetual motion of awesome” by I Care If You Listen, The Living Earth Show – electric guitarist Travis Andrews and percussionist Andy Meyerson – has developed a reputation as one of the most versatile and virtuosic contemporary chamber groups on the west coast. Memorizing every work it performs, The Living Earth Show thrives on pushing the boundaries of technical and artistic possibility in its presentation of commissioned electro-acoustic chamber music.

Cost: Free

New Belgium Brewing’s annual Clips Beer & Film Tour is coming to Miami for the first time. Clips offers a venue where guests can try New Belgium’s most esoteric beer offerings, while watching short films created by New Belgium fans. Many of New Belgium’s Lips of Faith beers can be hard to come by and Clips offers the best way to try them. Up to 17 varieties from Lips of Faith to brewery classics will be on tap.

This beer-toting, film-traveling, nonprofit-benefiting show is going coast-to-coast hitting 21 cities in its fifth year with 100 percent of the proceeds from beer sales benefiting local nonprofits. Since its inception in 2010, Clips has raised close to $400,000 for nonprofits nationwide. Clips is a fundraiser for Urban Oasis Project – outside alcohol is not permitted.

New Belgium selects approximately 20 short films for the tour each season. All selected filmmakers for the 2014 tour receive a trophy-worthy beer in a custom screen-printed bottle, made exclusively for the winning submissions. This year, the chosen films include a banana with an attitude, ultra marathoners running with stubborn animals, neon spandex and much, much more! It’s a diverse and highly entertaining line-up with something for everyone.

“Clips is a great place to come together with friends and relax,” said Christie Catania, Clips National Special Events Manager. “It is an outdoor evening gathering, where you can connect with friends, watch films and enjoy good beers. One-hundred percent of proceeds from beer sales benefits your local nonprofit.”

Other tips:
Food is welcome; alcohol is not (leave that to us).
Bring low chairs or blankets – or lounge on the grass.
Entire families are welcome.
Bring your I.D. if you plan to sample beers!
Bring a water bottle – New Belgium gives away water for free.
Dogs are welcomed on a leash, under control, and by their owner’s side.
Please walk, ride a bike, carpool, or take public transportation!

About III Points Festival: “III Points is a three-day celebration of music, art and technology making its home in the inspiring, up-and-coming cultural mecca of the Wynwood arts district in Miami, Florida. Dedicated to bringing fans, artists and companies together, III Points represents a space where the convergence of great minds and innovators from each of these creative worlds can manifest their vision in new and playful ways. The festival is spread across more than 35 venues, fully integrating within the Wynwood community, each featuring unique and interactive events that incorporate music with technology, art with technology, music with art, or a mix of all three. III Points launched its inaugural experience in 2013, successfully igniting the Wynwood neighborhood with an influx of activations, lectures, exhibitions and concerts garnering local and national attention. With Wynwood always at its center, it brought more than 4,500 attendees to the area, opening eyes, minds and hearts to an ever-evolving cultural frontier. Building off the success of the first year, III Points will expand on the 2013 program with additional stages, more activations, and many more surprises in 2014!”

It is rare to hear a single instrument alone for an entire recital program unless it is piano, but solo instruments have inspired some of the most creative work from composers throughout history.  This program traces the sparks of imagination inspired by the violin.  Early caprices by Pietro Locatelli and Niccolo Paganini established a tradition for experimentation with technique and new sounds, and the modern Italian composer Salvatore Sciarrino takes up that baton in his own Caprices for violin solo. New works by Dorothy Hindman, Charles Mason, and Juraj Kojs enlarge the palette considerably with electronics. 
Assistant Professor of Violin at Florida State University, violinist Benjamin Sung is also concertmaster of the Fargo-Moorhead Symphony Orchestra, a faculty artist at the Brevard Music Center, and a roster artist for Florida Arts on Tour.  Recent concert highlights include the 2014 Brevard Music Festival, XIII Festival y Academia del Nuevo Mundo in Maracaibo, Venezuela, the Cuban premiere of the Schnittke Concerto Grosso No. 1 and the Estaciones Portenas by Piazzolla, and a TED talk for TEDx Fargo. Sung’s recent album of new American works entitled FluxFlummoxed was hailed by Fanfare Magazine as “a brilliant performance of four superb works.” www.benjaminsung.com.

Art Bastion Launches New Gallery In Wynwood
WHO/WHAT: International art agency and mobile gallery, Art Bastion, is planting local roots with the launch of a dedicated space in the Wynwood Arts District at 2085 NW 2nd Avenue.

Cuban-American artist Renelio Marin has been selected as the first artist exhibition. “I aim to use my art to reach a certain level of freedom for humanity and awaken consciousness,” explains Marin who has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions worldwide. “I strive to elevate myself above and beyond the constrictions of my upbringing and break apart the limitations of the social cell I was tossed in at birth. Thus, I consider myself a modern artist in ethos and pathos, somebody who doesn’t belong to any social class or any political typecasting.”

Art Bastion was founded by internationally recognized art collector and curator, Sebastiano Varoli, with the mission of discovering and representing artists around the world and introducing their artwork to broader audiences. Varoli has collaborated with renowned art initiatives ranging from the Musée D’Orsay in Paris to the Royal Ballet in London and the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice.

In addition to showcasing thought-provoking artists, Art Bastion will offer multi-sensory experiences incorporating the art of sound, taste, touch and smell curated by the gallery’s director Alix Charoy. Art Bastion will also serve as an intimate space available for private bookings.

“While Art Bastion boasts strong artistic ties to Paris and New York, we chose to launch our first physical gallery space in Miami’s epicenter of art, fashion, design and food.” Explains Varoli who specializes in art consultation for buyers/sellers, managing collections and organizing “pop-up” exhibitions.

Since the agency began operations in November 2012, Art Bastion has helped and collaborated with artists, collectors, non-profit organizations and galleries around the world including; Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, Ecuador, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Lebanon, Mexico, South Africa, Spain, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom and United States.

Red Ribbon Ceremonies with the Honorable City of Miami Mayor Tomas Regalado for First Wynwood Visitor Information Stands 10/8/14

Red Ribbon Ceremonies with the Honorable City of Miami Mayor Tomas Regalado for First Wynwood Visitor Information Stands
October 8th, 2014 from 5:30pm to 6:00pm
wynwoodGallery 212 Wynwood
2407 NW 2nd Avenue
Miami, Florida 33127

The Art Experience, Inc. its first Visitors Information Stands in Wynwood with two visitor information stands opening to the public, this Wednesday, October 8th, 2014. One stand will be at the corner of 24th Street and NW 2nd avenue (adjacent to Panther Coffee) and the 2nd Stand at 25th Street and NW 2nd Avenue (adjacent to the Wynwood Walls).

Creative Founder Susana Baker launched The Art Experience, Inc. in 2009. A company specializing in Art and Culinary Tours for visitors and locals to experience the cultural side of Miami. To date with touring over 100 monthly visitors with its Signature VIP Tour: Dine Design Explore the Art, has earned the company a 5 star rating on trip advisor.

The Visitors Stands will be free to the public. All visitors wishing information on murals, galleries, cafes can receive the information for free from these stands. Maps will be handed out and orientation tours (available with a small donation) will be offered from the stands. All tours are accompanied with a Uniformed Tourator (trained as a tour guide in History and Curator trained in Arts).

After 3 years in business, it became apparent to Ms. Baker that every time she toured in Wynwood, visitors would approach her asking questions, or even following her on tours to learn about the different artists, murals and the history of Wynwood. “Most visitors GPS Wynwood or take a taxi to the area, but then they feel lost, walking around uncertain as to what they are viewing, and is there more, and where?” Says Susana Baker. “The saddest thing for me is that the visitors leave Wynwood without the full experience, story and the rich history of the area, including trivia facts of the murals and the artists. This is what our Tourators deliver to the visitor the total panoramic picture of Wynwood, which is filled with great history, amazing street art, and galleries! The tours can be done in Russian, Portuguese, French, Chinese and Spanish.

Gallery 212 will host along with The Art Experience a free Public Celebration, with Miami Club Rum sponsoring signature cocktails, The Riviera Foccaceria Italiana from Midtown will serve signature bites and live music. Join us for the official launch of Wynwood’s Visitors Information Center. City of Miami Mayor Regalado will be there to cut the ribbon along with other Community leaders.

Join The Movement

What is the Miami Arts Brigade?
We are mirroring the strengths of a Hacking Brigade, which builds participatory power in cities by holding civic hack events and advocacy campaigns with the goal of furthering the global civic collaboration movement. Based on the success of hacking brigades we are channeling the same sort of comradery and collaboration to bring awareness to the arts on Give Miami Day, November 20, 2014.

Our Goal:
Supercharge visibility for arts and cultural organizations on Give Miami Day. Through partnering tech, business and the cultural community, we are engaging the power of social media to showcase local arts organizations that are participating in the 2014 Give Miami Day. Through this concerted effort we seek to amplify cultural awareness, support for the arts, foster a connected community and actualize cross-pollination of industries.

We are spearheading the first social media arts collation for Give Miami Day! We are bringing communities together in an opportunity to bring about meaningful conversations showcasing the arts.

Custom bike manufacturer Republic Bike is calling all kids for a mini kiddie concert ft. local musician Raffa Jo Harris! Republic Bike will take over the Wynwood Walls to celebrate the launch of their limited edition Republic Kids Cargo Bike. Come on out this Sunday afternoon from 3pm to 5pm to groove to the tunes of Raffa Jo Harris while testing out the new kids bikes and enjoying the refreshing taste of Perrier.

The Kids Bikes: Inspired by classic, three-wheeled cargo bikes, the highlight of this adorable, design-conscious ride is the front wooden crate, perfect for hauling beginner typography books, Pantone/Crayola conversion charts, or even little puppy Gehry (little sister definitely not recommended). Traditionally used for transporting more prosaic loads, the adult version of this inverted tricycle of sorts is commonly seen throughout the streets of cycle happy Europe toting everything from baguettes to kinderen. Republic Bike shrink-rayed this design to offer precocious American children a chic, yet practical starter bicycle alternative.

This program of music for percussion and electronics is centered around Christopher Cerrone’s 22-minute work Memory Palace. Scored for found and homemade percussion instruments ranging from tuned beer bottles to 17 planks of wood and accompanied by field recordings made by the composer, Memory Palace is a beautiful exploration of the sonic possibilities of percussion. The program also includes Celestial Sphere, a work for live marimba and pre-recorded marimbas written for me last year by David Crowell, Simple Songs of Birth and Return for mbira and electronics by Nathan Davis, 21 for marimba and electronics and Stop Speaking for snare drum and electronics, both by Andy Akiho and the world premiere of House Music by Juraj Kojs.

Praised for his “excellent” and “precisely attuned” performances by the New York Times, percussionist Ian David Rosenbaum has developed a musical breadth far beyond his years. He made his Kennedy Center debut in 2009 and later that year garnered a special prize created for him at the Salzburg International Marimba Competition. Last season, Mr. Rosenbaum joined the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center’s CMS Two program as only the second percussionist they have selected in their history. He has recorded for the Bridge, Innova and Naxos labels and is on the faculty of the Dwight School in Manhattan. For more information, please visit iandavidrosenbaum.com.

This dynamic artistic community is home to dozens of artists working side-by-side in every media imaginable in an environment where they share in each other’s creative processes and inspire, encourage and motivate one another.
The Bakehouse is also the perfect place to enjoy contemporary art in the making year-round, featuring 65 working artist studios, two galleries with monthly exhibition openings, classes, and working facilities, such as a fully functional print room, dark room, a woodworking area, welding room and ceramic kilns for artist use. Thanks to the generous support of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, BAC will create a ceramics studio and South Florida’s first community-accessible fine arts metal casting foundry in 2015. These areas provide Resident and Associate artists with in-house facilities to develop or to experiment and integrate new media into their work.
Open free 7 days per week, the Bakehouse offers patrons a rare glimpse into the creative experience and an opportunity to interact directly with a diverse and talented community of over 60 contemporary artists.

Sway Away and Convoluted Shape by Jamilah Sabur Opening Reception  at The Bakehouse Art Complex on Friday, September 12, 2014.

Sway Away exhibition is in the Audrey Love Gallery from September 10 – September 28.  “This show will feature two- and three- dimensional artworks representing the artists’ interpretation and capture of movement. Kinetic and site specific projects will be the focus creating a direct dialogue between science, physics and the arts.”

Convoluted Shape by Jamilah Sabur is in the Swenson Gallery from September 10 – October 18. “This exhibition studies the interdisciplinary uses of the body as a vehicle for expression. Jamilah Sabur opens the exhibition on September 12th with a multi-channel video installation and performance encompassing the interplay of inwardness and the secondariness of the audience through movement, concealment, obstacles and physical limitations as well as spontaneous and imperfect, sometimes comic, unrehearsed movements. The results illustrate the perverse rule the artist seems to have discovered: the less she can see, the more we, an audience, look.”

The Bakehouse Art Complex Mission:
 “Enable and encourage artistic creativity through diversity and collaboration.  By providing affordable studio spaces for juried emerging and mid-career artists
 Providing exhibition opportunities, educational and artist advancement programming, and common workshop spaces. Serve as a cultural hub providing a venue for performance and critical thought in Miami’s historic art deco bakery”

Most of my work is done in action, although I also use studies and sketches to do my final expressions. Colors are very important in my expression’s maneuvers to create the volumes, balance and beauty in the compositions and to bring meaning to everything I do.” -Ronnie

Partners with Wynwood Brewing Company which will be on site pouring brews

Jimmy’z Kitchen Wynwood will celebrate a Domino Tournament – “Celebrando el Doble Seis”. The cost per player will be $10. RSVP for participation is required by sending an email to natasha@jimmyzkitchen.com.

Chef Jimmy Carey recently announced the second annual Domino Tournament – Celebrando el Doble Seis – to be held at Jimmy’z Kitchen Wynwood. The Puerto Rican tradition of playing “double six” dominoes will be honored during the tournament. “We have always strived to bring back the Puerto Rican traditions to Wynwood – known as Little San Juan for its original population of Puerto Ricans. We started the Noches de Bomba y Plena which have been a great success and for the second year we are hosting a domino tournament of “double six” – the way it’s played in Puerto Rico.” commented Carey.

For the tournament, Chef Jimmy has invited his friends, and owners of Wynwood Brewing Co, Luis and “Pops” Brignoni to serve, for the first time, two of the brewery’s beers. The Brignonis, originally from Puerto Rico, are also great supporters of keeping alive the Puerto Rican traditions of Wynwood.

Named as “Best of Miami” for its Puerto Rican Mofongo, Jimmy’z Kitchen has been known for its casual and contemporary atmosphere and for fun gatherings in the plaza in front of the restaurant.

Participation in the tournament costs $10 per person but the restaurant encourages friends and family to come and cheer the participants. Prizes will be awarded to the top four players.

RSVP is required for participation at natasha@jimmyzkitchen.com. For further information please contact NataschaOS@nos-communications.com.

Our city is in an exciting moment of growth and evolution. The conversation about Miami’s future has never been more active, but we’re not yet having it together, as one community. Many groups are locked in silos or feel left out of the wave of innovation and creative energy surging through the city. To build a vibrant and successful place, we need the perspective and participation of all people who live here—the rich and the not-rich, the young and the not-young, the urban and the rural; Miamians of every race, creed, background and experience.

How can we work together to ensure that all of our neighbors have a hand in shaping our collective future? Join us for a 1.5 day creative workshop on Aug 1-2 at The LAB Miami.

On the evening of Friday, Aug 1, we’ll host an opening kick-off reception in which we will lay the groundwork for the workshop the following day. Miamians of many backgrounds—from taxi drivers to youth—will creatively present stories to illustrate their lived experiences surviving in Miami’s current economic and social landscape. We will come back on Saturday, Aug 2 for a day of discussion and creativity as we work in small groups across disciplines—design, law, art, activism, technology, social enterprise—to generate concrete ideas responding to those challenges in order to make Miami’s future more inclusive.
People from every place, expertise and experience are invited to attend (writ: design thinkers, social entrepreneurs, artists, technologists, lawyers, community members excited to ideate!). The kickoff and workshop are free and food and drink will be served. Register here and indicate your background to be place on a team today!

See you then!

Fordistas is pleased to present Materia Prima, a collaborative exhibition by Argentine artists Pastel and Elian at the Yo♥305 Gallery in Wynwood. The Opening Night reception is slated for Thursday July 10, 2014.

In Materia Prima, Pastel and Elian explore the true meaning of collaboration by using individual aesthetics to find points of intersection in their work. While Pastel uses symbolism to tell the story of a 19th century battle and its socio-political tensions, Elian explores the geometric properties of art by analyzing form through the use of primary colors and space.

By definition, “materia prima” are raw elements taken from nature that are later transformed into consumer goods. 

“With elements I talk about stories and I talk about cultures.” – Pastel

During the joint exhibition, a special, limited-edition quantity of hand printed scarves by the artists will be made available for purchase. Ranging from $40-$100 (at buyer’s discretion), the complete proceeds will benefit a South Florida Ford linked charitable cause.

Resilience is that ineffable quality that allows some people to be knocked down by life and come back stronger than ever. Rather than letting failure overcome them and drain their resolve, they find a way to rise from the ashes. Psychologists have identified some of the factors that make someone resilient, among them a positive attitude, optimism, the ability to regulate emotions, and the ability to see failure as a form of helpful feedback. Even after a misfortune, blessed with such an outlook, resilient people are able to change course and soldier on.

Saturday, June 14, 9am-9pm
Republic-Bike-Hack-2014LAB Miami
400 Northwest 26th Street
Miami, FL 33127
RSVP for the HACK portion of the launch.

9am-5pm: HACK: A Bike Sharing System Hackathon
3-6pm: MAKE: A Bike Accessory Make-a-thon
6-9pm: DRANK: A Celebration & Bike Fleet Reveal

Bike on over, hack out a bike share program, make bike accessories with a 3D printer and then finish it all off with a drink! Sound like an obscure itinerary for a Saturday? Not to the folks at The LAB Miami and Republic Bike. Wynwood tech hub, The LAB Miami, will host BIKE / HACK / MAKE / DRANK, a three-part launch event for its new, shared Republic Bike fleet. The custom bikes, branded for program sponsors TigerDirect and MIAMade, will be made available as an added amenity to the entrepreneurial members of The LAB Miami.

As Miami’s most talked about breeding place for innovation and progressive startups, The LAB Miami is centrally-located in Miami’s budding Wynwood neighborhood, an up-and-coming area that still lacks a sense of pedestrian permeability. The area’s hot spots are still significantly spread out; therefore, Miami-based tech retail giant TigerDirect and local maker organization MIAMade came together to provide a sustainable transportation solution for the members of The LAB, the burgeoning creative campus that continues to propel Miami into the international tech spotlight. Republic Bike lent their expertise in developing innovative bike sharing solutions to put together a unique program for The Lab.

To launch The Labs bike program, Republic Bike decided to host the event BIKE / HACK / MAKE / DRANK, at The LAB Miami in an effort to raise awareness for the new program and to spread the word about the importance, convenience and joy of transportation alternatives.

Guests and participants are invited to bike on over at 12pm in time for the festivities to begin! The first part of the event will consist of a Hackathon where teams of two will compete to create a modified mechanism for the functionality of The LAB’s bike sharing system. The team with the most logical, innovative and easy-to-use modification will win a prize provided by TigerDirect and Republic Bike.

The MAKE part of the event will consist of a two-hour Make-a-thon with a bicycle twist, led by MIAMade. This special maker event will bring Miami’s maker community together to create and showcase a plethora of eclectic bicycle accessories with electronics, robotics, 3D printers and other popular maker apparatuses.

To wrap up the three-part launch, the DRANK portion will coincide with Second Saturday’s Art Walk. Stolen Spiced Rum cocktails and Duvel beer will be served to the public, as the official Republic Bike fleet of The LAB Miami will be revealed. All locals are invited to stop by and test out the new LAB bikes!

Wynwood Brewing Co. Starts Artist’s Showcase with Works by Ernesto Kunde 6/14/14

Wynwood Brewing Co. Starts Artist’s Showcase with Works by Ernesto Kunde
THE VAGABONDSaturday, June 14, 2014 at 5 pm.
The WBCo. Tap Room
565 NW 24th Street
Wynwood Art District, Miami, FL

The Wynwood Brewing Company recently announced plans to start a rotating monthly Artist’s Showcase at its Tap Room. The WBCo. will feature solo-exhibitions of renowned local artists. The first show will be dedicated to the art of Ernesto Kunde and will open during the June Wynwood Art Walk.

Since it’s opening in September 2013, the Wynwood Brewing Company has been known for its support of the local art scene. Its Tap Room and brewery are a mini gallery of Miami’s best known street artists like TrekSix, CP1, Krave Art, Eva Ruiz, Kazilla, Ruben Ubiera, and Ernesto Kunde. The mural by Kunde, located above the Tap Room bar, is part of the artist’s “Miami Series” and shows the street sign of I-95 going towards Miami Beach. Continuing with the tradition already started with this mural, Ernesto will be showcasing paintings from the “Miami Series” on the WBCo’s Tap Room walls.

“My Miami series is inspired by the vibrant and unique Deco architecture and by the daily rhythms of the city. When I first moved to Miami 8 years ago, I saw changes coming rapidly. Many of the old buildings were being torn down or remodeled. My goal in this series has been to preserve a bit of history while at the same time offering tribute to this exciting city in which we live.” – Kunde explained.

The father and son team – Luis and “Pops” Brignoni – couldn’t be happier about starting this art series in the Tap Room.

“We envision a monthly show with renowned local artists in order to showcase and promote their work. Our vision for the Tap Room and the Brewery has always been to be an extension of the artistic atmosphere of the Wynwood Arts District. From our tap handles to our walls we are inspired everyday to create our beers like works of art.”

As part of the exhibition, the artists will be asked to create a WBCo “tap handle” that will be a signature art piece to be kept in the tap room. The idea is to create a collection of “Handmade in Miami” tap handles that could be later exhibited as a group.

On Saturday, June 14th the WBCo. will also tap a special cask in honor of the opening. An oak-aged Father Francisco with key lime craft will be served for the first time.

Ernesto Kunde’s “Miami Series” will be on exhibit at the Wynwood Brewing Co. Tap Room from Saturday, June 14 through Sunday, July 6, 2014. The Wynwood Brewing is located at 565 NW 24th Street, Miami, FL. Hours of Operation are Tues -Thur 2 – 11 pm, Fri. 2 pm – midnight, Sat. 12 pm – midnight, Sun. 12 pm – 10 pm.

Plop, bang, puff, squeak, trash! Everyday objects and their sonic expressions as evidenced in the popular and experimental music cultures become alive in a new electronic music set, sound installation and happening by the Brooklyn-based Swede Adrian Knight and the Slovakian-Miamian Juraj Kojs. Lucid streams of musical bubbles and clouds will pulsate into dadaist trashness, filled with nostalgia and humor. Not to be missed on the night that marks 115 years since the “American Temperance crusader Carrie Nation began her campaign of vandalizing alcohol-serving establishments by destroying the inventory in a saloon in Kiowa, Kansas” (wiki).

Our characters are an ode to our life. A collaborative unified vision. A continuos narrative inspired by all of our memories, dreams and culture. Traditional and popular culture alike.

We paint portraits of people and animals, sometimes creating super human hybrid creatures by mashing them together. We like to think of them as our spirit animals.

Fordistas is pleased to present a new exhibition, “Newspeak,” by Puerto Rican artist JUFE at the Yo <3 305 Gallery in Wynwood. JUFE’s latest exhibition, ‘Newspeak’, sets out to explore the short-form language that is quickly redefining how we communicate one pixel at a time: Emoji.

Drawing inspiration from the fictional short-form language created by the totalitarian state in George Orwell’s novel 1984, JUFE’s ‘Newspeak’ focuses on the benefits of today’s widespread use of Emoji as a short-form communication. To JUFE, Emoji’s have increased our ability to express universal emotions otherwise difficult to articulate through syllables.

“Emoji’s are more open. They help us break down existing language barriers,” explains JUFE, who chose to capture 20 of his most used Emoji’s on canvas.

During his solo exhibition, a series of limited edition signed prints will be made available for purchase ranging from $20-$100, the complete proceeds of which will benefit Salute to Education (www.stescholarships.org).

About Fordistas

The Fordistas program is a platform for emerging arts + culture powered by South Florida Ford. Following the success of the 2013 Art Basel exhibition Friends and Family, street artists Axel Void, 2ALAS, Jufe, Pastel, Jaz, 2501 and Alexis Diaz, will be provided with a year-long residency through which Fordistas will make available living quarters, materials, the opportunity to feature their work in solo Art Walk exhibitions as well as to develop their work within a talent space where the local meets the global in order to demonstrate South Florida’s influence upon their work and vice versa.

The Fordistas Residency Program will culminate during Art Basel 2014 for a final exhibition that will document the process of these artists brought together by the collective in order to showcase not only how their work is affected by the city and, in turn, how the city affects their creative expression but also how relationships inform and transform artistic production.

OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE
Organizers of Wynwood Life couldn’t be happier. The street festival that promised to fill the street of Wynwood’s 6th Avenue with art and music lovers drew close to 18,000 people over the course of three days. Wynwood Life street fest over-delivered on what it promised in the areas of art, music, fashion and fun! “Lots of cool people. Lots of great vibe. Art was created, showed and sold. Music was danced to and fashion was strutted. We were proud to have Trek6 involved as our first poster artists. Wynwood Life is here to stay, and we hope to see everyone back next year,” said Tony Albelo, Wynwood Life organizer.

In the spirit of showcasing local talent, the festival featured Miami style bloggers, who turned heads during their own fashion show hosted by Kelly Saks. On Saturday night, the Peroni Art & Fashion Stage featured a bathing suit fashion show hosted by Annie Vazquez. Sunday night’s show was put on by Style Mafia, Jane Rose and Miami fashion blogger Maya King.

People came from all over South Florida to see the 11 live art displays curated by WynwoodMap.com, which featured graffiti artists including Gons One w/ SSK, Luis Berros, Diana Contreras and Luis Valle. What they got was all 11 plus a bonus live art display from DeepInPaint body painter, Shannon De Freitas.

Baloji, the Congolese-Belgium hip hop artists, who performed on Friday night, was a total hit, with thousands of new fans jamming to his contagious rhythm. It was standing room only on Saturday night with Problem Kids rocking the house, and on Sunday, Suénalo brought their fan base with their eclectic hip hop, Spanish infused vibe to the stage.

To close the festival, Wynwood Life had a music and art mashup that featured DJ Mr. Pauer, Miami’s Latin Grammy® nominated artist/producer, on stage while graffiti artist Hec One Love painted in front of the stage to the beat of his music. Hec One Love is well known for collaborating with Trek6 on the mural “Lovism”. Meanwhile over at the Peroni Art & Fashion stage, an impromptu collaborative painting took place between Kazilla and Coinslot, making this festival an eye-catching experience.
