Global art agency and gallery, Art Bastion Miami, will be showcasing an art exhibit of exclusive paintings from the ‘twice forgotten’ Russian colorist and fantastical realist, Boris Chetkov (1926 – 2010), February 21 – March 21, 2015. A V.I.P. wine reception will be hosted by Art Bastion Miami opening night on February 21st, 7 p.m. to 10 p.m., where guests will enjoy complimentary cocktails and a selection of passed hors d’oeuvres will be served.

The Boris Chetkov: Portraits exhibition consists of the largest private collection of many never-before-seen paintings by Chetkov, owned by collector Peter Hoffman, Jr., founder of the Hoffman Art Institute.

Opening the exhibition will be Russian art historian and broadcast journalist, Rosie Rockel, who has co-curated this thought-provoking exhibit with the Hoffman Art Institute. Ms. Rosie Rockel regularly presents arts coverage and is considered one of the leading critical voices on Russian 20th century and contemporary art.

Mr. Peter Hoffman, Jr., will be inaugurating the show, in addition to local and international Modern Art experts. They will consider the techniques and lasting relevance of Chetkov’s portraits, that depict the duality – public and private persona – and duplicity that living under communism engenders, a highly relevant topic in Miami today.

Spanning three decades, Boris Chetkov: Portraits, brings together 20 important works from the zenith of Chetkov’s long career working in Russia during one of the most tumultuous periods in 20th-century history. The exhibition includes bold works created during Khrushchev’s Thaw of the 1960s, through his years painting in secret while working officially as a glass artist, up to his paintings made during the liberal glasnost years of the 1980s.

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.

Boris Chetkov: Portraits Exhibition will be open to the public February 21 – March 21, 2015
Tuesday – Saturday, 11 a.m. – 6 p.m.

The thrilling University of Miami-based Unbound Improv Ensemble emerged from an initiative of the multi-instrumentalist Matthew Taylor, percussionist Tyson Voigt and vocalist Jennifer Voigt in October, 2013. Since then, the group has performed around the city, including the Acoustica21 concert last April. While the Unbound players are superbly trained to perform the “classical” music, they also possess incredible curiosity to explore musical soundscapes beyond those prescribed in the scores. “As musicians we are always striving to expand our sensibilities and remain open to new paths,” explains Taylor.
The performance is only a part of it. It is through the focused listening to each other that new spontaneous musical experience transpire. Their virtuosity and artistry enables them to devour an hour with the most engaging and surprising musical acrobatics, often moving in the space and using imaginative performance techniques. You may need to travel far beyond the state border to hear a high caliber improvised acoustic music such as that performed by the Unbound Improv Ensemble. “It is important that more voices are heard in music community of Miami,” says Taylor about offering the city this new musical experience. May these acoustic alchemists conjure an event that will long resonate in the ears of the Miami music lovers!

The Cine Al Fresco series takes the magical experience of art and culture under the stars. Once a month, our outdoor courtyard will be transformed to give families and friends of the Wynwood community a chance to unite through art, film and music.

This event is free to the public.

– Feel free to bring your own blankets and chairs.

– Dinner will be available for sale from Vibe 305!

This month’s featured film: THE WIZ

Featuring spectacular musical numbers with Diana Ross, Michael Jackson and Richard Pryor, experience the magic of The Wiz when Dorothy is whisked away to the enchanting wonderland of Oz.

A re imagining of L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz featuring an entirely African-American cast, The Wiz was adapted from the 1975 Broadway musical of the same name. The film follows the adventures of Dorothy, a shy Harlem, New York, schoolteacher who finds herself magically transported to the Land of Oz, which resembles a fantasy version of New York City. Befriended by a Scarecrow, a Tin Man, and a Cowardly Lion, she travels through the land to seek an audience with the mysterious Wiz, who they say has the power to take her home.

Supported by Art Place.

12 Nights Miami: West-East: Music for piano and computer 1/24/15

In the husband and wife duo, West meets East in music for piano and computers.
Composer/pianist Chen-Hui Jen and composer/computer musician Jacob David Sudol met in grad school at UC San Diego where they began collaborating on projects that combine Eastern and Western musical idioms quickly.
“Since we are both composers, we select and interpret works based on our ears, tastes, as well as our deeper understanding on other composers’  works.  Our thoughts also incorporate  western and asian philosophies and aesthetics.  This is reflected in our programming choices.  Following our multi-cultural backgrounds and diverse experiences, we’re also very open-minded to try different things and other works that many other performers wouldn’t dare to combine in a program or perform,“ say Sudol and Chen about forming their Jen/Sudol Duo in 2010.

To date, they have performed 16 concerts, presenting both newly composed repertoire and ‘classic’ music for piano and electronics in cities such as San Diego, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Miami, New York City, and Taipei.  

“….when I’m working I forget that Jacob’s my husband.  I guess being intimate makes our collaboration easier, because we both want to make good music,” says Jen. Sudol adds: “we don’t really need to worry about manners when rehearsing because we both know that we can’t offend or upset each other while rehearsing.” Today’s concert is indeed about quality and variety. The program is designed to highlight the diversity and compelling imaginary and poetic worlds that result from combining rich possibilities of electronic music with the acoustic piano.  You will hear synthetics sounds merging with the acoustic piano, the piano sonorities combined with digitally retuned pianos for the purpose of creating magical resonances and echoes slowly catching up with their original acoustic sound. Colorful instrumental resonances will present a seamless marriage between the acoustic and electronic sonorities in a way that could never happen with just acoustic instruments or just electronic technologies.

The program will feature music from the Americas, Europe and Asia, namely, the works by M. Davidovsky, B. Jacobs, J.D. Sudol, K. Y. Chong and G. F. Haas.

Watch Jen performing Sudol’s wash yourself of yourself here.

“SAVAGE: Art made by Animals for Animals” is an art show featuring a collection of works created by the animals at Zoo Miami and their stewards. The show explores several themes, the first being the immediate relationship between each animal and its’ human trainer/keeper. It also offers viewers a new way to experience the majesty of animals through motion and texture, as they express themselves through various media. This event is a collaborative fundraiser between Zoo Miami and the South Florida Chapter of the American Association of Zookeepers. All proceeds from the art show will go towards supporting species conservation and research both locally and internationally.

Habitats and species are under tremendous pressures from our rapidly changing world. Our animal residents of Zoo Miami serve as ambassadors to their wild counterparts, and this event offers a unique and different way for supporters to help. Together with our partners, we are determined to do everything we can to help ensure that future generations have the opportunity to see the same marvels of the world that we have been privileged to cherish.

MELANCHOLALALAND

It’s the 21st century, and time to re-invent opera, but in a way that’s more fun, less pretentious, and a little messed up.

MelanchoLalaland™—with music by composer and Florida Atlantic University professor Joey Bargsten and libretto by writer Thea Zimmer—accomplishes this by fusing traditional elements of opera, theater, and dance with new and experimental visual media forms, all set to an electronic music score. MelanchoLalaland™ tells the dark tragi-comic story of three artist/engineers who design mind-altering experiences, enhanced by self-pleasuring technologies and a variety of brain chemicals. They deal with disgruntled employees, corporate takeovers, dissatisfied girlfriends, and cheesy space-aliens.

A PROPER MARRIAGE

Concept / Choreography: Pioneer Winter

A Proper Marriage is a speculative piece that comments on the perceived co-dependence of music and movement, especially live music with dance–underlying properties of a dancer’s dependence on composition, and the musician’s own foresight to create action from sound. Sheet music is attached to the backs of dancers, and the musicians follow the dancer in order to read the music and maintain the melody. Irony rests in the notion that if the dancer moves too quickly and the musician cannot keep up, the music will falter and the dancer’s own rhythm will stop.

Pioneer Winter is a Miami-native choreographer, dancer, and filmmaker of Pioneer Winter / Collective. He is co-director of RIFT Blackbox and the curator of transmedia performances for FilmGate Interactive Media Conference. Winter also directs Project LEAP (Living Equality through Arts and Performance), a free dance and creative communication program for LGBTQ teens that focuses on teaching how to use the arts for activism and social change. He was recently awarded the 2014-2015 Miami Choreographer’s Fellowship, and is on faculty of the FIU Honors College. His project Grass Stains was also recently awarded a Knight Arts Challenge Grant.

Arts Mean Business Forum Highlights from Miami Arts Week and next steps in new economy discussions

Posted on    by

beaconimage-300x151

ON DECEMBER 18th,  LAURA BRUNEY wrote the article found below, which was originally published December 12, 2014 on their blog, www.artsbizmiami.org/ArtsBizBlog. It was edited and republished for the ARTSBlog with permission from the author.

We are excited to hear, where the city is headed in these discussions of new economies and to see who is going to be asked to be a part of these discussions from our community.

 

The 2014 edition of Art Basel week this December in Miami featured the perfect marriage of arts and business. Beyond the dozens of satellite fairs and thousands of gallery booths catering to collectors, Miami Art Weekoffered a far more compelling benefit for businesses eager to court potential clients. Pacesetters from all industries and brand power houses swooned at the reach of art week. Developers, financial investment companies, tech start-ups, luxury car brands, and more cleverly leveraged the arts as a strategic imperative for business. These companies know the arts mean business.

During Art Week, the Arts & Business Council of Miami hosted an Access Breakfast Forum with theBeacon Council to discuss how the arts are transforming Miami and why the creative industry matters to business. Donna Abood, Chair of the Beacon Council, and I opened the program with some astonishing facts. The arts industry in Miami-Dade has a 1.1 billion dollar impact and employs 30,000 full time workers. More than 13 million people participated in the arts this year, and thousands of business professionals shared their skills as volunteers and board members. Cultural tourism, a major component of brand Miami, brings 5 million visitors each year. Robert Lynch, President and CEO of Americans for the Arts, kicked off the program talking about how the arts bring a competitive advantage to companies that are involved.
The flash of transformation in any city is culture and art. Collaborations between arts and business enhance quality of life, especially in cities like Miami.

Lynch praised our vibrant cultural community. “I was immersed in art from the moment I stepped off the plane and walked through Miami International Airport, which was filled art installations and marvelous art. Every time I come there is something new and I am always energized. Miami is a 24 hour city. As I was returning to my hotel at midnight last evening a lot people were just leaving to start their night.”

“Business support for the arts isn’t a charity; it’s an investment that creates shared value through mutually beneficial partnerships,” said Lynch. He outlined the value the arts bring to business including brand empowerment, leveraging connections with clients and consumers, professional development that encourages innovation and creativity, and enhancing the workspace. Involvement with the arts is good for executives, clients, shareholders, and employees.

Beacon Council President & CEO, Larry Williams, closed out the morning by sharing the impressive economic impact figures for Miami-Dade’s creative industries. Lynch perfectly summed up the breakfast forum by saying that extending partnerships to span all industries and fostering collaboration is building the new economy of ideas in Miami.

Mana Miami

Miami, FL 33127
Free shuttle buses provided to and from Mana Miami, Art Miami, and Art Basel Miami Beach.

Forward-thinking and unique, the inaugural Mana Miami art fair presents a dynamic agenda of exhibitions, conversations, and events organized by Mana Contemporary. Held at Mana’s Wynwood campus, a 140,000-square-foot facility that covers 22 acres, the fair offers collectors a diverse roster of programming that echoes the art organization’s commitment to the creative process.

Mana Miami includes three distinct displays: Mana Monumental, a selection of large-scale works by artists who have a studio in, exhibited at, or are otherwise connected to Mana; GLE at Mana, recent projects from the celebrated screen-printing studio Gary Lichtenstein Editions; and Dirty Geometry, a survey of twenty-three Latin American artists who reject traditional geometric style in favor of a playful, erotic ethos. Daily roundtable discussions, called Mana Sessions, explore themes such as alternative museum pedagogy, the evolution of independent art publications, and social media-driven shifts in aesthetic perception. An exclusive VIP Lounge doubles as a rendezvous for guests to connect with participating artists. Conceived as an alternative to the traditional art fair model, Mana Miami explores the making process of a contemporary art community that is at once relevant, progressive, and profound.

Mana Sessions include:
Wednesday, December 3

ART BASEL Exhibit of Paintings by Dale Nally
Dec 4-7, 2014
Open Daily 12noon-8pm
with general reception Saturday December 6, 6-8pm

From Kentucky farm boy to celebrated artist, Dale Nally wore many hats. An artist, a man, but most importantly a spiritual being, he embodied a sense of kindness and a gentleness of spirit seldom found in other men. His remarkable paintings were most certainly his passion, but Dale devoted his life to helping the downtrodden wherever he encountered a needy soul. Many human beings can relate to having a spiritual experience, but Dale Nally was truly a spiritual being having a human experience. His spirituality permeated his life in every aspect, from his yoga practice to the profoundly emotional creation of his work, which evokes a sense of calm and a peaceable nature. Dale’s paintings are greatly influenced by his travels and studies in Asia as well as his rural, Appalachian upbringing. His canvases are organic rather than static objects. The connection with nature is always palpable while experiencing one of his pieces.

Event is Free and open to the public!

A week-long art and entertainment fair focusing on progressive art is set to take center stage during Art Basel Week. The pop up gallery and lounge is affectionately called Basel House, because it’s home to the largest collection of pure street artists along with mixed media, digital artists and sculptures. For those who like street art and graffiti, there’s no place else to be. Artists will paint live on canvas, brick walls and anything they can get their hands on, including a 1961 Bentley. Their work will also be displayed inside a 10,000 square-foot gallery called The Art House. A neat interactive feature of this event will allow people to try their hand at creating their own street art. On a daily basis, Canvas Vandals will host and help people unleash their “inner vandal” creativity on canvas.

“Basel House is designed to be inclusive of all artists and people. That’s why this event is free to the public. We’ve gone through great lengths to bring well-known graffiti artists from around the world, because we feel strongly that all art is important, whether you find it on a brick wall or a gallery wall,” said Tony Albelo, the event organizer.

Peri Schwartz is included in collections internationally, among them the British Museum, London, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Library of Congress, Washington D.C., and the Kupferstichkabinett-Staatliche Museum, Berlin. Working with different media is an important part of the process Schwartz uses to develop her works. Representing similar subjects and formal arrangements in a variety of media challenges her to rethink and revise her compositions. The initial works done in her Studio series were created using charcoal; this allowed her to easily rework their compositions. Schwartz then alternated between creating paintings, drawings, and mono-types of the same subject; this method of moving back and forth between different media further facilitates the process she uses to work out formal arrangements.

Schwartz also addresses pictorial challenges in her Bottle &Jars series. In the carefully composed but compressed space of these works, attention is drawn to how the bottles and jars fill the picture plane and how they relate to each other and the space around them. In the way this is done, it is clear color and shapes are as much the subject of these works as are the bottles and jars themselves. The effect is that these works must be understood as a modern synthesis of representation and abstraction.

The Wrapped Objects were first exhibited at the Fine Arts Center Galleries at the University of Rhode Island in Kingston. They are included in the collections of the Library of Congress, Fogg Art Museum, Yale University Art Gallery and Memorial Art Gallery. In the catalog for the exhibition, Judith Tolnick Champa describes the work: In her idiosyncratic pastel drawings known as Wrapped Objects – Schwartz’s demonstrated expertise in figural art is brought to bear on a powerful sense of the self-containment associated with still-life, rather than figural practice. The Wrapped Objects ultimately derive from a campaign of intensive study of anatomy and its intimate historical correlative, drapery’s connection to the human body. The dazzling drapery interpretations of legendary figurative painters including the 16th-century Venetian, Titian; the 17th-century Spaniard, Diego Velazquez, the Fleming, Anthony Van Dyck and the 19th-century French artist Jean-August-Dominique Ingres, offers models of an art historical sort cited by the artist as the first Wrapped Objects were created and conjured by her work. Schwartz understands the accomplished pictorial means which these exemplars developed for interpreting their complex royal/aristocratic subjects. The subject is present beneath the drapery, but its individual shape and character – clues to its identity – are conveyed only through the push and pull, the tightness or laxness, the intricate surface wrap. And in the process the surface wrap gains its own freestanding vitality and identity.

Understanding shifts as Schwartz’s mysterious subjects become curious Wrapped Objects and figuration melds into a re-emergent sensation of still life. Exactly what is being represented is of less importance than how pictorial effects are achieved. Technically, Schwartz works in pastel but without the assistance of a coarse granular paper. She chooses a more finely grained and technically unforgiving surface, so that textures must be constructed through precise calibration of light and dark tonalities. Her pastels behave almost like charcoals as the richness of blue-blacks contrasts with the smooth matrix of white paper.

The Jungle Brothers

Straight Out the Jungle, Mike Gee (born Michael Small; Harlem, NY), DJ Sammy B (born Sammy Burwell; Harlem, NY), and Baby Bam (born Nathaniel Hall; Brooklyn, NY) came together as the Jungle Brothers in the mid-’80s and began their recording career at the dance label Idler. The result of the sessions, Straight Out the Jungle, was released in early 1988. The album’s Afrocentric slant gained the Jungle Brothers entry into the Native Tongue Posse, a loose collective formed by hip-hop legend Afrikaa Bambaataa, including Queen Latifah (and, later, De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest). The album’s most far-out cut was “I’ll House You,” a collaboration with house producer Todd Terry and an early experiment in what later became known as hip-house. The single “I’ll House You,” added to the album in 1989, is known for being the first hip-house record recorded outside of the Chicago scene, which was a club hit that drastically changed the way the hip-hop and dance-music industries worked. Their first album, Straight Out the Jungle, was released on an independent record label (Warlock). In spite of the commercial failure of Straight Out the Jungle, Warner Bros. Records soon signed the group and released Done By the Forces of Nature in November 1989. The album was a critical smash at the time, though it has since been largely ignored by hip-hop critics in favor of the similarly acclaimed alternative hip-hop album 3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul, released the same year. – See more at: http://www.hiphopscriptures.com/jungle-brothers/#sthash.cWBDXsyV.dpuf

The exhibit will open on December 3rd to coincide with Art Basel Miami Beach 2014

Impulse, Reason, Sense, Conflict. Abstract Art from the Ella Fontanals-Cisneros Collection attempts to focus on the typical features of abstraction that still permeate in art production today and define it as a movement instead of an aesthetic category. The exhibit is divided in five areas: Abstract Impulses is dedicated to the crisis in representation and the rupture in mimetic representation. Laboratory of Reason refers to the questioning of the nature, essence and even the existence of art. Uncommon Senses relates to the integration and crossover of other mediums and other art forms that required the use of multiple senses, both from its makers and art’s viewers. Spatial Conflicts touches on Abstraction as a radical change in the conception of spatiality. The last section Expanded Field deals with many artists’ experimentation with non-traditional media like photography, film and collage. This group of works will only exist in a separate form in the catalogue. In the exhibition space they will be presented within the other curatorial groupings.

The exhibition includes 101 pieces by 72 artists from different generations and latitudes, who share their interpretations and philosophies of abstraction. This exhibit will also be the first CIFO exhibit curated by the foundation itself.

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.

New Belgium Brewing’s 2014 Clips Beer and Film Tour 10/24/14

New Belgium Brewing’s 2014 Clips Beer and Film Tour
Friday, 10/24/2014 – 07:30 pm – 10:30 pm

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!

III Points Festival at Soho Studios on Friday, October 10, 2014.

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.

WHERE: Art Bastion
2085 NW 2nd Avenue

WHEN: Opens to the Public on Friday, October 9th from 11 am to 6 pm

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.

It’s no secret that Miami is rapidly on the rise and flourishing fast as a community across all areas from real estate to fashion and food. However, III Points founders David Sinopoli, Erica Freshman and Amir Ben-Zion (owners of Bardot Miami) realized a new cultural movement in town growing faster than the speed of sound: Art, Music and Tech; specifically in the hip Wynwood district.

III Points is not your overplayed EDM festival; it is a tribute to the burgeoning artistic neighborhood it was born out of. It is a true community based festival showcasing the properties, people and talent that are defining this cultural evolution.

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 month we covered Financial Planning for Artists.

About Bakehouse Art Complex:
Since its inception, the Bakehouse Art Complex (BAC) has served as a creative incubator for more than a thousand emerging and mid-career artists. The Bakehouse offers more than just studio space. 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. With monthly exhibition openings, cultural and community events, classes for adults and children, and a soon-to-be-launched monthly Green and Art market, the BAC is not only a creative center, but also a vibrant community hub serving its artists, patrons, art buyers, and the South Florida community.

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
