GAB Studio, 225 NW 26th Street, Miami, Florida 33127 – $15 per seat.

***
How Minis Gone Wild! came to be; New Light Theatre’s Resident Playwright, Artist and Director, Wendy White envisioned a new type of theatre production featuring mini-plays. Wendy often paints in her studio, living by her motto ‘painting a mini a day keeps the doctor away.’ Her initial concept of matching a mini-painting with a mini-play gained momentum and she invited other talented South Florida playwrights to join her; and voila ‘Minis Gone Wild!’ was born. States Wendy White; “I can’t help but to Maximize all the Mini Power by painting minis, singing minis, showing minis, and performing minis!”
Nine new original mini-plays will be performed by the talented cast: Gema Calero, Luis Navarro, Rio Chavarro, Tamara C. Moore-White, Gabriel Villasmil, Jessica Pusceddu, Mario Temes, Robert Hernandez and Julie Kendall.
1) “Hi. I’m Anne and I’m Afraid of Squirrels Biting my Ankles” by Wendy White
2) “The Unusual Suspect…” by Matthew Para
3) “Brunch Soon” by Marla E. Schwartz
4) “Statuesque” by Luis Navarro
5) “Wet Paint” by Wendy White
6) “I Want to Be Your Sculpture” by Wendy White
7) “Vincent’s Room” by Wendy White
8) “Starry Nights and Midnight Chats” by Elaine Alonso-Cruz
9) “Art Deals in Dealers” by Rio Chavarro

The playwright and director, Wendy White has written over 125 one-act plays and was a resident playwright, curator and director at the Kraine Theater in the East Village of New York City from 1984 to 1992, and at the Expanded Arts Theater Company from 1994 to 2001, in the Lower East Side of New York City. Her off-Broadway productions are the basis for her new venue at the New Light Theatre. She recently produced her one woman show; The Jewish Nun to sold-out audiences in Off-Broadway’s 59e59 Theatre and at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland.

The New Light Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit public foundation and has won numerous awards around the globe. The theatre company has performed everywhere from Amsterdam to Paris; from Miami to Los Angeles to New York City; and has tackled subjects relating to women, love, politics, and Shakespeare.

Handcrafted Tattoo & Art Gallery Presents

“Up & Away” Alex Yanes Partners With Ink Master’s Chris Nunez For Last Solo Exhibition In Miami At Handcrafted Tattoo and Art Gallery

Coming back from his recent sold-out exhibition at Thinkspace Gallery in Los Angeles, local favorite Alex Yanes has no signs of slowing down, at least not until after his solo exhibition. Acclaimed artist, Alex Yanes, will present a his last solo exhibition in Miami, entitled “Up & Away“ at Handcrafted Miami during Wynwood’s 2nd Saturday’s Art Walk on Saturday, November 9th. Handcrafted is the brainchild of world-renowned tattoo artist and Spike TV’s Ink Master reality star, Chris Nunez. Nunez has transformed a 3,000 square foot space in Miami’s Wynwood Arts District into an uber hip tattoo parlor and art gallery. Once you walk through the parlor, you enter their gallery space, which also has a garage door leading to their outdoor patio. The multi-use concept combines tattoo enthusiasts love for ink and art.

“I had this concept of an open art space, as much open space as possible because I wanted to break the mold of traditional tattoo shops, the stuffiness and people having to work on top of each other.” He worked closely with designer, Sean Saladino, brother of Pride and Joy owner and designer, Mike Saladino. Chris continues, ”With the gallery, we wanted to do the environment where you go from the warm kind of eclectic reclaimed but comfy feel from the lighting to the floor to the walls.”

Yanes will exhibit new, never-before-seen works, as this will also be his last exhibition in Miami. The 3,000 square foot gallery will house over 20 of his strikingly colorful 2 and 3D mixed media works on wood including his custom, wall-mounted, Bluetooth speaker boxes. Additionally, he will be debuting a brand new customized speaker system created from a 1960’s refurbished speaker console complete with Technics turntables and his signature wood cutouts. Whimsical, yet relatable, Yanes’ art embodies an innovative use of color and imaginative subject matter that has become a staple in Miami’s Wynwood Art District.

Doors will open to VIP’s and collectors privately from 7-8pm and to the public from 8-11pm. Enjoy beats by DJ Rage Johnson and complimentary signature cocktails by Deep Eddy all-natural premium vodka and Perrier® Sparkling Natural Mineral Water.

StudioLifeTuesday, October 29th, 7:00 pm
Gallery Diet
174 NW 23rd St
Miami, FL 33127

Please join us Tuesday, October 29th at 7:00 for a panel discussion with Christy Gast, Nicolas Lobo, Christina Lei Rodriguez and Bhakti Baxter. Moderated by Sarah Trigg Author of Studio Life: Rituals, Tools, Collections and Observations on the Artistic Process.

In 2009 artist and writer Sarah Trigg embarked on an ambitious field expedition across the United States, interviewing more than 200 artists in their studios. She sat down with everyone, from painters to performance artists, to investigate a wide range of artmaking practices. The result is Studio Life, a fascinating photographic and written account of 100 of her visits. Trigg asks her subjects to share objects and working habits in six categories: mascots, collected objects, rituals, makeshift tools, residue, and habitats. These talismans and behaviors provide a framework for artists to reveal insights into their practices and the nature of the creative life. Intriguing and often humorous anecdotes emerge, of one studio’s mysterious sealed vault, another’s resident bunny, and countless sources of inspiration are unearthed: vintage comics, purses, and kitschy figurines; faded yearbooks and treasured cards and letters; and one handwritten reminder to Quit Feelin’ Sorry for Yourself. Accessible and relevant for amateur aesthetes and art-world professionals, Studio Life offers an insider’s view of the artistic process as well as a snapshot of the most interesting work being produced today.

Among the 100 artists featured in Studio Life such as William Wegman, Pat Steir, John Baldessari, Carol Bove, Rashid Johnson, Peter Halley, Fred Tomaselli, Tony Oursler, Jim Shaw, Michelle Grabner, Tauba Auerbach, Trenton Doyle Hancock, Dana Schutz, and David Altmejd, to name a few, the book features the Miami-based artists George Sánchez-Calderón, the TM Sisters, Victoria Gitman, Pablo Cano and our panelists Christy Gast, Nicolas Lobo, Cristina Lei Rodriguez and Bhakti Baxter.

Sarah Trigg is an artist, writer, photographer, and the creator behind the widely read website The Goldminer Project (thegoldminerproject.com). She lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.

You’ve seen his work from I-95, foregrounding Bob Marley on one entire side of Armory Studios, a well-honed splash of magic that can’t be missed, no matter how fast you’re navigating the highway.

You’ve seen his work at Fountain Art Fair, Gallery 305 and at Lauderdale’s Fat Village, where his Industrial Gate thresholds the way for the wily willing to venture north of the Dade County Line.

And make no mistake, it is that County Line which corrals and defines the man and the work. For it is there where, back in ‘85, he threw up Dade’s very first Wall of Fame. And there where the next year he staged Dade’s first graffiti-themed gallery. It is The 305, dig? And he is one of its original street heroes.

The cat is known as Hec One Love, and he and his inimitable imaging have done much to make Miami (and Miami-Dade) an absolutely singular sensation.

This Black Friday night, at Win 317, the man of many wonders pops-up with Love-ism, an experience in artful commodification that’ll price tag everything from one-of-a-kind souvenir-sized collectibles to specially-commissioned murals. This being Hec, it’ll also spur you to see the world from a whole new horizon.

Nora Chipaumire Miriam
JANUARY 24-25, 2014

With Miriam, renowned choreographer and dancer Nora Chipaumire creates her first character-driven work — a deeply personal dance-theatre performance that looks closely at the tensions women face between public expectations and private desires, between selflessness and ambition, and between the perfection and sacrifice of the feminine ideal. Inspired by South African singer and activist Miriam Makeba with original music by Cuban pianist Omar Sosa, the work layers text, sound and image that enrich the mysterious and haunting world of Chipaumire’s creation.

The Tiger Lilies
NOVEMBER 1-2, 2013

The Criminal Castrati’s anarchic brechtian blues trio, The Tiger Lillies, are an extraordinary three piece band creating music that is a startling mixture of opera, gypsy song and left bank Paris. Fronted by singer Martyn Jacques who trained himself as an opera singer with a castrati style voice of heartbreaking beauty whilst living alone above a strip joint in Soho for seven years, and accompanied by drummer Adrian Huge and double bass player Adrian Stout. The Tiger Lillies sing savage and passionate songs about prostitutes, drug addicts and losers, their voices soaring and growling like men possessed.

The Liquid Projects Presents Craft: Spirits and Beer 11/8/13-11/10/13

Posted on    by

The Liquid Projects Presents Craft: Spirits and Beer
CRAFT_Print_GA-VIP_PrintFlyer_v3November 8-10, 2013
Soho Studios
2136 NW 1st Ave
Miami, FL 33127
www.theliquidprojects.com

CRAFT: Spirits & Beer (CRAFT), a namesake three day program concentrating on the beverage industry’s fastest growing segment announces their roster for industry and public festivities. The event, which takes place from November 8 – 10, 2013, will anchor with a tasting gallery experience on November 9, 2013 and will include educational panel discussions hosted by some of the industry’s most influential beverage specialists, a masters’ dinner series as well as after-hour festivities.

Taking over Soho Studios in Miami’s Wynwood district, CRAFT will showcase some of the industry’s best artisanal spirits and beers. Curated by a distinguished advisory board, each producer will be carefully evaluated to ensure there is a perfect blend. Thus far, an exciting line up of exhibitors include brands like Koval, High West Distillery, Dry Fly Distilling and Benromach Distillery, Balcones, St. George, Miami Club Rum, Atsby Vermouth, Cape Distillers, Compass Box and Tuthilltown Spirits.

Beverage enthusiasts will have their chance to participate in several great events with proceeds benefitting the Florida Craft Distillers Guild and Florida Brewers Guild. Tickets are available for purchase online at www.craftspiritsandbeer.com/tickets:

Tasting Gallery Experience: Enjoy a true craft experience with unique beverages perfectly paired with some of the city’s most authentic eats. Tickets for the tasting gallery experience can be purchased for an early price of $50 per person for general admission (3 p.m. to 6 p.m.) or $75 per person for VIP (2 p.m. to 6 p.m.)

Educational Panel Discussions: Panel Discussions offer on trend topics like What is Craft? with special guest Chuck Cowdery and The Art of Scotch Whisky Blending with John Glaser. Tickets for seminars range in price and start at $25 per person.

Masters Dinner Series: Taking place on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights, the dinners are both educational and intimate. Dinners include Artisanal Cognacs at Copper Box with host Nicolas Palazzi ($170 per person), American Craft Whisky at Michael’s Genuine Food and Drink with Chuck Cowdery ($150 per person) and Balcones Whiskey Pairing Dinner with Chip Tate at Yardbird ($150 per person).

Craft Cocktail BBQ: James Beard-nominated mixologists Elad Zvi and Gabriel Orta of The Broken Shaker will host a craft cocktail barbecue, sponsored by High West, St. George, Dry Fly and Tapatio. The event is complimentary and invite only.

“As we have seen over the past decade with food, both in our homes and restaurants, people are more aware and concerned with knowing the source of what they consume and how it’s made. The farm-to-table movement is really a nod to old processes, a step back in time,” says Massolo. “With CRAFT, I hope to bridge a similar gap, one that grows the understanding of and appreciation for small batch spirits and beers being made with great care; many, following family recipes, helping revive their surrounding community or following historic and traditional guidelines.”  

In addition to CRAFT, Massolo has launched Spirited Sirens the blog and Spirited Sirens: A Tasting Event, the latter a series of “offline interactives” geared towards women. Both companies are subsidiaries of her parent company, The Liquid Projects.

In the face of death we are all equal, we are all “Calacas”

Yvonne Pfeiffer “Calacas Reinvented”: An introspective into the female emotion.

People have come to know Calacas through Day of the Dead celebrations, artistic relics, tattoos, and ethnic funeral ceremonies. But the calaca’s origin can be found in Aztec roots and it represents the ceasing of one’s life and the passing into the afterlife. Calaca is actually a colloquial word for ‘skeleton.’ The calaca is represented by a skeleton that is usually garnished with flowers and painted with bright colors. Various Latin countries have adapted their own meaning to the calaca imagery. In Mexico, the calaca is celebratory and used in festivals where people where masks and festive clothing all inspired by the calaca style. The Mexican calaca generally looks upon death with positivism and optimism. In contrast, in Guatemala their traditional calaca is a bare skeleton usually without decorations or colors which then translates fear and mourning upon the event of death.

If laughter truly is the best medicine, then you shouldn’t miss Junior & Hatter’s Plugged Comedy Night during Wynwood’s Art Walk on October 12th. This monthly event is the hottest ticket for Second Saturdays and the best part is the ticket is free! Three months ago, Andrea Battista and Mario Silvestri, the duo behind J&H, launched their new Plugged Comedy Night event with stand-up comedy performances from Miami’s top comedians. Since then, the room-filling, laugh-packed comedy show has been a big hit with art walkers of all ages. Slightly off the beaten path of the madness that ensues on NW 2nd Avenue, J&H’s Plugged Comedy Night is the go-to spot for breaking away from the ever-growing Art Walk crowds.

Emceed by Alex Morizio, the acts will be taking the “mane stage” at 9pm and will feature routines by Leyla Sak, Richie Noguera, Pam Bruno and show headliner, Dan DeCotis. Come see these comic geniuses before they become famous!

Mandarine Napoléon, the legendary citrus liqueur, will be providing complimentary cocktails throughout the evening. Admission is free and open to the public. The show will begin promptly at 9pm.

3rd Annual ART MACtown
Saturday, October 12, 2013, from 6:30 to 10pm.
Oxenberg Fine Art and Kelley Roy Gallery
50 NE 29th Street
Miami, FL. 33137
Wynwood Arts District.
Suggested $25 donation at the door.
Complimentary parking will be available.

Cocktails and hors d’oeuvres will be served sponsored by Giraffas Brazilian Restaurant Midtown, Machiyas Restaurant Midtown, Lime Fresh Mexican Grill, and Mixtura Peruvian Fusion Restaurant.

Oxenberg Fine Art and Kelley Roy Gallery is proud to host the 3rd Annual ART MACtown. Over 100 original works of art created by the very individuals MACtown serves will be on display and available for purchase. The best news is that anyone can own a unique piece of original artwork created by a very special artist for the very affordable price of $50 for a 10” x 10” canvas.

MACtown’s mission for the past 51 years has been to improve the lives and further the independence of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in South Florida.

“ART MACtown was the vision of international artist George Rodez who first approached me about this project three years ago” said Violet Gonzalez of MACtown“. He came to us with a plan that we thought would not only help MACtown raise some much needed funds but also help the people we serve by offering them an outlet where they could get in touch with their emotions, inner feelings and express themselves through painting. The canvases painted would then be showcased at a reputable art gallery, giving our artists the opportunity to be seen in a world where they can sometimes go unnoticed. Rodez works with each and every one of our clients in helping them express themselves. Some of our artists are non-verbal while others have very little mobility, but it is amazing and nothing short of a miracle to see how they light up when they take that first paintbrush in their hands and begin to paint and create to the best of their ability”.

Miami, Florida

We are hosting a very special edition of (Un)Filtered Poetry at Panther Coffee in honor of the life and art of Israel “Reefa” Hernandez, the 16 yo artist who was killed by police while tagging an abandoned McDonald’s building. His death has deeply affected our community and its artists and we have not forgotten and continue to demand justice be done. This (Un)Filtered will be centered around his memory and those of so many others like him who have lost their lives and seen no justice.

This event comes at the end of a four day series of events centering around #justiceforreefa and we are proud to be part of this movement.

Per usual, we will have an open mic portion for all artists who would like to contribute. We will also have an incredible line up of featured artists including Barbara Trawick, Calvin Made-Son Early, Percival Jordan II Emily Sheila, Bridget Pelaez and more.

In addition to a night of literary bliss, we will have a library of donated books and will be selling them for a donation of $3 dollar, but ask that people give as much as they can because ALL proceeds will go to his family. Some of his art will be on display andhis mother will also be in attendance and will speak on behalf of the family.

This will be a great opportunity to show his family support, as well as come together to remember and celebrate his lie and art. This is our community, our art, our expression. Let us never forget.

Miami Light Project is proud to celebrate the start of our 24th Contemporary Performance Series with an exclusive engagement of the world renowned British band the Tiger Lillies, November 1-2, 2013 at the Light Box at Goldman Warehouse.

The Tiger Lillies defy any singular description and operate within their own eccentric definitions. Founded in 1989, the Tiger Lillies are Martyn Jacques (angel-voiced, accordion playing front man and song writer), Adrian Stout (upright Bass and toy sheep) and Adrian Huge (child’s drum kit and assorted plastic and wooden objects). Treading a fine line between Brecht/Weill opera, English music hall, Gypsy folk and even left-bank Parisian buskers, the Tiger Lillies are like no other band around and they tour the world, wowing audiences with their simply delicious, devilish music.

One moment their blasphemous, perverse irreverence shocks (often leaving their audience in uncontrollable fits of laughter), the next they still the air with beautiful ballads of death, cruelty or depravity. They move between punk-like clown ditties to deadly serious storytellers in the blink of an eye. No fear of taboos, their subject matter includes rape, crucifixion, bestiality, murder or prostitution, more often than not with a hidden morality at the root of each song. Jacques has a wonderfully clear vision of the world’s inequality, if seen from an all too blood shot eye.

As a result, they captivate with every word and timeless sound they make. For fans (they have a cult following throughout many cities of the world) there is also the fun of being part of something that is so shocking, so naughty! The band pushes all limits; wanting to know how close to damnation each of us is willing to go. And if damnation is on the cards, the Tiger Lillies are taking the express elevator down and from listening to their gorgeous music; they appear to love every second of the ride!

Talk Nightlife 6-6-6th Anniversary

RSVP Online
www.talknightlife.com

Why: 6 years of this shit.

Who: Me and probably 3 other people. Let’s try to get at least six to show up.

Again, I don’t want to deal with the logistics of a club event and we all either work in clubs or don’t go to them, so it’s at a bar and we’re probably crashing someone else’s party. Wood Tavern doesn’t know and probably doesn’t care if we show up or not.

But it’s fun. Trust me. We’re the last standing nightlife website that isn’t advertorial. That’s something to celebrate.

FYI, I’m aware the real birthday is September 17th but that’s a weekday.

Southeast Florida prides itself in self-expression, forward fashions and diverse cultures. However, the region’s music, art, fashion and culture have yet to create a world-class, creative class.
What does South Florida need to foster creative entrepreneurship?
What will make South Florida an attractive and effective place to support the creativity?
What types of collaborative resources are needed?

Can South Florida Ignite a Creative Economy?

At this event, come hear fresh thinking from new leaders in the fields of art, design, music and technology as they answer the questions above.

Seven50: A blueprint for ensuring economic prosperity & the best-possible quality of life for Southeast Florida will present:

Where are we today?
What is the impact of current trends if continued?
What are those things that Seven50 can do to help?

Recently, we have seen resurgence in arts and culture and innovation and technology. There is a growing spirit and community of artists, musicians, tech startups and an increasing number of resources to support them, including art fairs, music festivals, academics, accelerators and financing sources.

But, is this enough? The creative community in Southeast Florida is still emerging relative to other centers. Cities such as Austin, Pittsburgh and Washington DC/Northern Virginia are making the transition from an “old” economy to an innovation economy.

A single mother gives her son a beloved doll for his birthday, later they find out that the doll is possessed with the soul of a serial killer, who try to put his soul into the boy’s body in order to become human.

The 1980′s was the ultimate slasher decade, bringing us more Jason, Michael, and Freddy film’s than any other decade. Plus countless other killer-in-a-mask films. On November 9, 1988 the world was introduced to Chucky, the Good Guy-doll-gone-bad and a new horror icon was formed, thanks to creator Don Mancini. Child’s Play Spawned two horror sequels before moving into a more comedic tone with “Bride of Chucky” and “Seed of Chucky”.

PopcornNights.com is proud to bring Chucky back to the big screen for a 25th anniversary of the original “Child’s Play”. This event is sponsored by HalloweenMegastore.com (Visit them at Sunset Place in South Miami)

The upcoming “Curse of Chucky” brings things back around to the horror side of things. To celebrate the release of a new Chucky film and the 25th anniversary of the original, we are excited about sharing this retro screening with all of you.

III Points has partnered with The LAB Miami, whose mission is to be a platform for entrepreneurs, a campus for social innovation, tech and the arts.

Schedule events include Artist Musical Chairs, Beer Bingo, Freeze Dance, Disco Nap, Samsung Blogger Lounge, Bro-Gaming Den, Film Screenings with the David Lynch Foundation, and intimate concerts will be laced throughout the Saturday schedule.

DFA Records will host a BBQ as a lead-in to warehouse and club parties merging music, art, and technology throughout the city. Point Blank will close out III Points with a talent roster stacked with timeless innovators headlined by James Murphy, Jamie xx, Jacques Greene, Koreless and live art by TYPOE.

Just added: YACHT, Oscar G, Afrobeta, and Jean Jacket.

III Points has teamed up with TwinHaus, the Miami-based experimental engineering agency, to curate the art portion of the summit. TwinHaus, is the brainchild of Tara Long, who is a performance based installation and video artist, and partner Yamil Rodriguez, who is a musician and installation artist. The artists participating in III Points are predominantly local artists who have been working in South Florida before Wynwood and Art Basel influenced the local art culture. These artists have outlasted trends and gentrification, and continue to create quality materials and concepts that remain rich and intelligent. The majority of the art at III Points will be conceptualized, and installed specifically for this event. III points will activate satellite locations that will host the artists’ work. Some locations include Gramps, Cafeina, The Butcher Shop, Wynwood Cigar Factory, and many more.

On Friday and Saturday night, there will be a large installation around the main stage stage at Wynwood Cigar Factory integrating art and technology. There will be 3D projection mapping, a new technology which animates stationary objects with 3D video. Spearheading the 3D projection mapping is Jason Peterman with AV-8 Projects and Tecne Collective. Another performance, titled “The Drive-In” will be an interactive site specific performance involving movement, audio, and cars. Artists participating are Patricia Margarita Hernandez, Samantha Kruze, Ana Mendez, and Richard Vergez.

Throughout the weekend, guests will be able to download a specialized app or pick up a pamphlet with a map, artist downloads, videos, and media-related activities.

Artists: Agustina Woodgate , Ahol, Alison Schulnik, Ana Mendez, Bhakti Baxter , Borscht, Brian Butler, Casey Zap, Chris Video, Dade Wear, David Lynch Foundation, Domingo Castillo, Jason Peterman with AV-8 Projects, Tecne Collective, Jillian Mayer, John Sevingy, Koreless, Lab Miami, Luis Pinto, Miami Spaces, Patricia Margarita Hernandez, Richard Vergez, Samantha Kruse, Santlov, Sleeper, So It Seems, Strangeways, Sum Of Us Films, T.M. Sisters, Tao Rey, Torie Zalben, TYPOE

III Points is a partnership between legendary Miami club Bardot, and Young Turks (the label behind The xx and SBTRKT, among others), in conjunction with Jason Odio.

The Bardot team is composed of Wynwood pioneer Amir Ben-Zion, his partner, nightlife veteran Erica Freshman, and music director David Sinopoli. Bardot has been on the forefront of innovative bookings since its doors opened in 2009, playing host to Erykah Badu, Moby, Nicolas Jaar, Grimes, Purity Ring, Capital Cities, and Flume.

David Castillo Gallery presents TM Sisters’ Prismavolt Reception 9/12/13

David Castillo Gallery presents TM Sisters’ Prismavolt Reception
prismavoltThursday, September 12, 7-10 pm
David Castillo Gallery
2234 NW 2nd Avenue
Miami, FL  33127

September 12 – October 5, 2013  
David Castillo Gallery is proud to present Prismavolt, a solo exhibition by the TM Sisters in video installation, sculpture, collage and performance.
 
The TM Sisters engage with refraction, the bending of light and sound waves as they travel through different mediums. In Prismavolt, these mediums include natural elements, the body, creative practice, and human consciousness, and occur at sites as intimate as molecular anatomy and as mysterious as the deep sea. The artists use refraction to map moments of tranquility between emergent subjectivities and the invisible forces at work upon them.
 
Four wading figures become engulfed by mother-of-pearl irisation. It is a kinetic conversation between bodies and waves, an exchange of power, a brilliant photometeor. The iridescence is the result of film shot and projected through prisms. Like Goethe’s phenomenological inquiry into color, for which Newton’s optical spectrum is but one case study among boundless potential experiences, the TM Sisters pursue a generous interpretation of light’s manifestations and energies. In destabilizing light, the artists also complicate ontological views of creativity, calling instead upon aesthetic irruptions that are anarchical, autopoietic, prismatic.
 
In another film, a chandelier prism obscures the face of a figure while its hair blows freely in the wind. "There is no nature," Derrida writes, "only the effects of nature: denaturalization or naturalization."[1] Prismavolt takes place in the perpetual becoming of these effects. Nature, the artists demonstrate, is simultaneously refraction, body, and environment. When, in a third film, the outstretched arms of two figures sink spinning into the evening ocean, it is catharsis. Such clarity does not belong to a stagnant hierarchy of achievement, but rather to transversal cuts across planes remade new through simultaneous experiences.
 
Prismavolt’s attunement to the relationship between body and spirit is informed by the artists’ training in neurokinetic therapy and prismatic healing methods. The TM Sisters rethink the rainbow with a new pallet of colors correlating to experiences of consciousness reached by muscle-testing. Artworks in collage and sculpture exaggerate the aesthetic geometry of refraction. Prismavolt is not only a material exhibition, but also an institutional performance in conversation with Deleuze and Guattari’s project of schizoanalysis, an imminent meta-modeling of subjectivity. In contrast to psychoanalysis, schizoanalysis aims not to reduce and interpret, but rather to expand and produce. 
 
In the legacy of Flavin, the TM Sisters explore light as a medium. In the spirit of Bas Jan Ader, they launch themselves across the other skin of the ocean. After Kandinsky, they advocate art’s agency in synesthetic spirituality. Perhaps Prismavolt’s deepest resonance, however, is with the Swedish Space Corporations’s 2010 project PRISMA, which launched two synchronized satellites in order to test formation flying and rendezvous technologies. After two months of maneuvering as one, the satellites separated from each other for the first time. How free is refraction? How discursive is color? How fixed is subjectivity? Light and sound, air and water, duel satellites, or the artists’ collaborative duo does not represent a movement beyond the borders of the body, but a movement of the borders themselves.

Cost: Free

Less than a year after breaking into the Miami and South Florida marketplace, Duvel’s lighter, draft-only golden ale – Duvel Single, will be the feature beer at this month’s Wynwood Art Walk Beer Garden! Enjoy ‘Beat The Clock’ Specials: $2 from 6 to 7pm; $3 from 7 to 8pm; and $5 8 to 9pm! The event is part of a new art walk series featuring complimentary Duvel Single and Sparky’s Roadside Barbeque at Gramps Bar. Please RSVP: rsvp@workshopcollective.com.

Duvel Single is the lighter golden ale from Duvel. The secret behind the crisp and complex flavors of Duvel Single is Duvel’s commitment to using only the best quality ingredients, and in the complicated and specific brewing and refermentation process that takes more than three months to complete. Once brewed, the brew master and his staff taste each batch after approximately 30 days. At this stage the beer is called “single-fermented.” The beer has Duvel taste but the alcohol and carbonation are lower and the taste is lighter and crisper.

Tree Planting & Maintenance at historic Miami City Cemetery
Sat, Sept 7, starting at 8:30 am and should be finished by Noon
treemendousMiami City Cemetery
1800 NE 2nd Ave
Miami, FL
Plenty of parking inside the gate.

If you’d like to let us know you’re coming, you can do so by clicking here.

After an excellent project at the Miami City Cemetery in August,  we will be returning there on the morning of Sat, Sept 7 to complete our work by planting additional flowering trees and shrubs – as well as maintenance and fertilizing of our many existing trees in order  to get them in top condition.
 
Our goal has been to return this property to an oasis of urban greenery and a defacto botanical garden. TREEmendous Miami has been pursing this very worthwhile endeavor for years, and we hope  a well-attended push on Sept 7 can finish the project.
 
Kudos to our President, Penny Lambeth, and to TREEmendous board member George Childs for being the leaders of this effort, but heartfelt thanks are extended to all of the many board members and volunteers of TREEmendous Miami who have worked to make this a reality. Special thanks are due Gary Hunt and Lenny Goldstein for their tireless work behind the scene to help make this project a success.
 
As always, we will provide refreshments for our volunteers as well as some tools. Please wear appropriate clothing for sun protection and, if you have them, please bring a shovel, rake and/or loppers. It would also be very helpful if you can bring a wheel barrow. All planting and maintenance materials will be on site.
 
You do not need to RSVP, but please come join us to accomplish this important work and have some fun at the same time. Please also bring any family members and friends who also love trees and want to make Miami greener and more environmentally healthy. This is also a fine project to include children as the Cemetery is fenced and protected from traffic.
 
This is a great project for senior high students needing Community Service hours. Verification certificates will be provided.
 
Recommended attire includes closed toe shoes, lightweight long pants & long sleeve shirt, shade hat and sunscreen.

Free Mind Society is hosting their first Wynwood Art Walk exhibit where art enthusiasts will have the opportunity to meet the new guys in town and get to know The Wynwood Hollywood Building.

Free Mind Society is a group of thinkers that spread the ideas and principles of freedom, with a goal of ending war, as they feel there is no reason to ever be violent on Earth. Their belief is based on people and the liberty to choose life and the significance it holds, rather than attaching value to materialistic possessions. Free Mind Society promotes freethinking and the ability to value life over objects.

Free Mind Society’s art exhibit, FREE YOUR MIND, is comprised of multiple canvases of digitally altered portraits of prominent social figures in American history who stood for equality, justice, freedom and peace, each with an inverted American flag over the mouth or face, symbolizing the injustice each one experienced when they were assassinated… by another American.

During this event, guests will be viewing the latest additions to the collection, honoring:
• Notorious B.I.G.: One of the most influential rappers that beat the odds and came to super stardom.
• Tupac Shakur: Son of a Black Panther and a controversial rap artist creating new era in rap music.
• Trayvon Martin: Honoring his memory and donating the piece to his Mother.

For those who have yet to experience the initial collection, John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Abraham Lincoln, Chief Black Kettle, Harvey Milk and Malcolm X will all be in attendance. Free Your Mind art pieces are not just your average walk through the Wynwood Walls; these art statements will ultimately FREE YOUR MIND.

“We can’t change the world unless we change ourselves.” – Notorious B.I.G.

Mural on Wynwood Art Group building on NW 24th Street by #WWAG Artist Rogério Fernandes (Brazil)

Hosted by @CaitfromNY (Miami Publicist)
Sponsored by ArtWalkstheRunway.org Art Fashion Blog & Live model styling and photo shoot by @FredLovePhoto

Step into our press area, sign in on social media & get featured on our brand new art fashion blog!

Wynwood Art Group (#WWAG) is the result of the recent merger of Brazilian artists, headed by Hamilton Aguiar, with Gallery 212 Miami and Miami (art) Publicist. Gallery 212 Miami’s NY-native Pop Artist Michael Perez is partnered with Miami Publicist Caitlin E. Slayback and they have spearheaded an innovative program to provide a platform for emerging, mid-career and professional artists by managing monthly exhibitions that feature fine art, photography, design, sculpture and even live performance.  With a unique gallery business plan, Wynwood Art Group is essentially the result of this merger; a group of fine artists with great achievement in their careers forming a group to share ideas and to work with strategic marketing to create supportive platforms for artists.  Wynwood Art Group embodies the dedicated interest of its members in contributing to the formation and the history that will eventually be remembered by the here-and-now crowd as the significant art and cultural movement of Wynwood.
 
The gallery has been in business for 4 years in this location and this year was awarded 4th place by the Local Top 10 at [Channel] 10 voter’s poll of top local businesses.  The building has been newly renovated and expanded into a multi-use space now encompassing the entire corner of NW 24th and NW 2nd Avenue in the heart of Miami’s Wynwood art gallery district.  The neighborhood is famous for its art walls, attracting visitors from around the world who come to view and photograph them.  The Wynwood Art Group building boasts a new and fantastic mural on NW 24th Street by Brazilian WWAG artist Rogério Fernandes.  In the last ten years the almost completely abandoned warehouse district of downtown Miami has developed and blossomed into an art hub and the authentic gallery district that attracts masses of enthusiastic art lovers to its monthly Second Saturday art walks and annual Art Basel Miami; satellite fair to Art Basel, Switzerland and the largest, most successful and longest-running international art fair in the United States.

www.duvel.com

Less than a year after breaking into the Miami and South Florida marketplace, Duvel’s lighter, draft-only golden ale – Duvel Single, will be the feature beer at this month’s Wynwood Art Walk Beer Garden! The event is part of a new art walk series featuring complimentary Duvel Single and Sparky’s Roadside Barbeque at Gramps Bar. Please RSVP to rsvp@workshopcollective.com.

Duvel Single is the lighter golden ale from Duvel. The secret behind the crisp and complex flavors of Duvel Single is Duvel’s commitment to using only the best quality ingredients, and in the complicated and specific brewing and refermentation process that takes more than three months to complete. Once brewed, the brew master and his staff taste each batch after approximately 30 days. At this stage the beer is called “single-fermented.” The beer has Duvel taste but the alcohol and carbonation are lower and the taste is lighter and crisper.

Duvel Strong Golden Ale is the signature beer of Duvel Moortgat – fourth-generation Belgian brewers. Duvel Moortgat USA, Ltd. imports Duvel Golden Ale, Maredsous Abbey Ales, Chouffe Ales, Liefmans, and DeKoninck Ales and also sells the beers of Brewery Ommegang, Cooperstown NY.

Spinello Projects Presents a Solo Project by Antonia Wright and Ruben Millares Grand Opening 7/13/13

Spinello Projects Presents a Solo Project  by Antonia Wright and Ruben Millares Grand Opening
spinelloSaturday, July 13th, 7 – 10 PM
Spinello Projects
2930 NW 7th Avenue
Miami, FL 33127.
 

Spinello Projects is pleased to present the grand opening of State of the Book, an interactive installation from multidisciplinary artists Antonia Wright and Ruben Millares. Wright and Millares transform the gallery entrance into the façade of a bookstore storefront. Behind the glass doors is an interactive reading room where visitors may sit, read and physically engage with books borrowed from the Miami-Dade Public Library System, private collections and the artists’ own bookshelves. The Florida heat in the summer becomes a New England winter – an invitation to retreat indoors to think.
 
The work considers the devaluation of the printed book in a society plagued by rising budget cuts to the arts and education, successive shutdowns of mom-and-pop bookstores and public libraries, and the rise of the e-book. It is the artists’ hope that the room will generate a dialogue around the changing role of books in contemporary culture, but also furthering a love of reading centered around and within the act of community-building. In addition to regular gallery hours, ongoing programming will activate the space for the duration of the exhibition. Wright and Millares will conclude the exhibition run with a live performance.
 
The sad, strange, beautiful vulnerability and (sometimes) painful faces of the human condition are all considerations in the oeuvre of Miami-based artists Antonia Wright and longtime collaborator Ruben Millares. Investigating the various politics and comic facets of natural behaviors both unique and routine, Wright and Millares examine these elements through a multifarious, process-oriented practice combining video, performance, photography, poetry, sound and sculpture. Wright and Millares acknowledge the layers of societal taboos and barriers between their artistic choices, and pointedly pushes them into the visual arts realm for the viewer to regard, question and/or enjoy.

David Castillo Gallery presents Lost Boys: Dogan Arslanoglu and Johnny Laderer Reception 7/13/13

David Castillo Gallery presents Lost Boys: Dogan Arslanoglu and Johnny Laderer Reception
175Saturday, July 13, 7 – 11 pm
David Castillo Gallery
2234 NW 2nd Avenue
Miami, FL  33127

David Castillo Gallery presents Lost Boys: DoÄŸan ArslanoÄŸlu & Johnny Laderer, curated by Claudia Mattos.
 
Lost Boys contends with autobiographical space; a type of space, both physical and not, defined by personal experience.
 
ArslanoÄŸlu’s photography and Laderer’s sculpture appropriate mundane imagery and materials to map personal and memorial experience. They create actual and aspirational sites, charting when, where, and with whom they have been. Articulated within these spaces is a nostalgia evidenced in location: a sense of home, particularly situated in Florida. The pieces in this show function as souvenirs, commemorating and bearing witness to times past and present. This is a cartographic exercise of identity.
 
Drawing a reference to Peter Pan’s Lost Boys, the show focuses on an exploration of youth and masculinity to draw out a notion of memory, experience, and home; in the end, the Lost Boys find home.
 
ArslanoÄŸlu approaches his subjects with a vernacularism that renders them placeless. These are images of his immediate surroundings and experiences; he is the unpictured subject of every scene. And this imagery becomes a log of sorts, charting the places — the friends, girlfriends, and experiences — where his camera has followed. He maps a personal narrative. Free from identifying markers, these images could have been taken anywhere.

Johnny Laderer, Personal Best 1, 2013.

Laderer’s practice departs from a more value-laden note: he creates work with found or discarded objects, or (put more simply) junk. The road is imperative to Laderer’s collecting of objects and ideas, and his materials reference his movement throughout the state. He is a magpie, claiming trophies along the way. Laderer’s is a practice of re-creating, re-staging, and re-claiming his and Florida’s past.
ArslanoÄŸlu’s and Laderer’s objects serve as the spaces for memory, allowing glimpses into a greater mapping of personal experience. And they are Lost Boys insofar as they attempt to find home, wherever (or whomever or whenever) that may be. 
 
DoÄŸan ArslanoÄŸlu received his BFA from Florida International University in 2012. In the spring of 2013 ArslanoÄŸlu participated in the Wassaic Artist Residency in Wassaic, NY, and this fall he will be starting his MFA in photography at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY.
 
Johnny Laderer received his BFA from Florida State University in 2009. Laderer has participated in group shows at the Hollywood Art and Culture Center, Hollywood, FL; Miami Beach Urban Studios, Miami Beach, FL; among others. Both artists live and work in Miami, FL.

Admission: Free and Open to the Public

This exhibition, the first major group showing of works by GUILD, features works that address the theme of water in diverse ways. The element which is most closely identified with life in South Florida is approached as an archetypal symbol of life, regeneration, and purification, as well as an important element in different religions. GUILD, a group of seven painters who emerged from the New World School of the Arts, embraces the power, inexhaustible originality, and vitality of painting—an art form whose millennial traditions enable it to articulate the aesthetic concerns of contemporary artists. The Walk-Through will be conducted by the exhibition curator, Ricardo Pau-Llosa, and various members of GUILD.
GUILD is also proud to announce the induction of a new member to its ranks. Miami-born painter Christian Duran is also a New World School of the Arts graduate who earned his BFA at the Kansas City Art Institute, in 1998. In 1999, he returned to his hometown of South Florida where he continues to produce and exhibit his work. Duran’s art focuses on themes related to nature, the human anatomy, and religion. Details of Duran’s extensive bio and images of his work can be found at the GUILD website: www.guild-artists.com. Duran will participate in the Walk-Through at BAC on June 29th.

Touch Me Hear is an experimental multimedia work developed last month at Inkub8 as a part of their generous Artist Residency. It was commissioned by Harvestworks Digital Media Arts Center (New York). The opus explores the relationship between touch, sound and movement. Body parts and its extensions such as hair and clothes become performable musical instruments. From skin sensations to complex digital tactile simulations, the piece exposes disappearing awareness between what can be felt and what actually is. A continuum of scenes filled with humor, solitude and emotionally charged movement contemplate the contemporary world of intertwined vibrations and modalities.

This annual event provides a look at the creative process across a range of media, and presents cross-disciplinary, collaborative work that speaks to the high level of innovation, critical thinking, and social engagement in Miami. Events are free but availability is limited.

In celebration of Miami-Dade’s diverse art scene, works will be showcased by over 35 international artists across the city in a range of sites, including: the Miami Beach Botanical Gardens and at Edge Zones Projects at the Miami Design District.

Miami Performance International Festival ‘13 is a much-needed networking platform for the art community and brings together the most important curators, artists and arts organizations from Latin America, the Caribbean and around the world.

Curated by Charo Oquet, Miami; Eliu Almonte, Dominican Republic; Pancho Lopez, Mexico, Miami will be immersed in the participation of 70 international and local artists. Unlike theater and dance, all MP ‘13 performances have no designated areas nor are they presented on a stage, but rather on the floor, dissolving the boundary between the artists and viewers. 

Artists from the UK, Austria, USA, Dominican Republic, Argentina, Portugal, Mexico, Spain, Italy, Cuba, Panama, Canada, Colombia, France, Chile, Poland and Brazil.  This dialogue will continue throughout the year on Internet platforms through the Edge Zones and Miami Performance International Festival web portal (http://www.edgezones.org) and online blogs.

One Night only Charity Art Exhibit Event Features Harvard University Guest
The Belen Art Exhibit a Canvas of Hope is the first of its kind in the US

Miami, FL- June 5, 2013- On Friday June 14th, the Community Health Council (CHC) in Partnership with the Peruvian American Chamber of Commerce will present the one-night only Belen Art Exhibit charity event at the Pan American Art Projects in Wynwood. The art exhibit titled A Canvas of Hope: Art by the Children of the Slums of the Amazon is the first exhibit of its kind ever created to benefit the Community Health Council. The children that live in extreme poverty in the city of Belen use artwork as a way of self-expression and learning. The event begins at 7pm.

The evening’s special guest is Adam Frange, a Harvard University Teaching Fellow and the Executive Director and founder of the Community Health Council. He is flying down from Harvard University to talk about the important work he is doing in Belen and to generate awareness of the living conditions of the families and children who live there. More specifically, the CHC, which already runs a clinic in Belen, wants to build a community center to provide the citizens with much needed services.

Included in this exhibit is photography by Zag Adams, son of the world renowned Patch Adams, who was portrayed in the hit movie by Robin Williams. Zag has captured the everyday plight and beauty of the people of the Amazon. His ability to document life in the city of Belen is unparalleled and the photographs will be available for purchase.

“As the gateway to Latin America we are so happy and honored to present this exhibit in Miami. We’re excited to talk about our work in Peru and share the experience of daily life in Belen as seen through the drawings and paintings of improvished Peruvian children and the photographic work of Zag Adams,” said Frange.

Tickets for the event are $50 and it includes special cocktails and delicious bites from local Peruvian restaurants. Tickets can be purchased at www.belenartexhibit.com. The Pan American Art Projects gallery is located at 2450 NW 2nd Ave, Miami, FL 33127.

Touch Me Hear is an experimental multimedia work commissioned by Harvestworks Digital Media Arts Center (New York) that explores the relationship between touch, sound and movement. Body parts and its extensions such as hair and clothes become performable musical instruments. From skin sensations to complex digital tactile simulations, the piece exposes disappearing awareness between what can be felt and what actually is. A continuum of scenes filled with humor, solitude and emotionally charged movement contemplate the contemporary world of intertwined vibrations and modalities.

Algae guides the process and aims to produce high quality, totally original, and totally Miami products.
 
Espiritútara seeks to empower with beautiful jewelry that possesses elements of protection and positivity. Inspired by travel, art, and the pursuit of magic, the pieces are made of intentional stones and handmade elements that are designed for those searching for both design and the manifestation of light.

Miami, Fla. – Water Rites: New Works, a group exhibition of paintings by GUILD, curated by Ricardo Pau-Llosa opens on June 14th from 7pm to 10pm at the Bakehouse Art Complex, BAC. GUILD, constituted in 2010, is comprised of Abdiel Acosta, Lu Gold, Jovan Karlo Villalba, Todd Eliott Mansa, Yamel Molerio, Vincent Serritella, José L. Telot, painters who emerged from the New World School of the Arts. They are committed to painting as a living art form, and they exalt craftsmanship, originality of vision, and the power of art to transform our experience of the everyday world. The BAC as one of the most important alternative spaces in Miami’s Wynwood Art District, hosts the group in the Audrey Love Gallery. Water Rites: New Works focuses on the many properties of water which lend themselves to representations of inspiration, transcendence, ecstasy, purification, and rebirth.

All the painters of GUILD have grown up in Miami, the most water-oriented metropolis in the United States, which gives their approaches to water particular poignancy. These innovative painters have reaffirmed their passion for creativity, painting, representation, and ideas—in defiance of contemporary fixations on concept and the reduction of the artist to a socio-political commentator. The artists of GUILD are giving testimony to the validity of their position by exploring, each in his or her way, the power of a single element central to life, mysticism, art, and the life of the imagination.

Water Rites will constitute the first full-scale group exhibition of GUILD. It is the ideal theme upon which to view the group’s diverse work, as water underscores GUILD’s link to the geographical and cultural milieu of South Florida. Lastly, their vivid and original approaches to water highlights GUILD’s sensibility to archetypal images and other attributes of the tradition which continues to nurture the inexhaustible art of painting.

Hack For Change: Miami is helping build a community of civic innovation in South Florida. A wide variety of individuals and organizations have come together to foster of a culture of open government, civic engagement, sustainability and technology for good.

Hack For Change: Miami will have three different themes:

The Art of Government Data // #artofgovdata
We want participants to explore the use government data as the raw material for artistic expression. What do "we" and "our society" look like when visualized by artists working together with programmers? What do we sound like if composers use government data sets as the fuel for composition?

Sustainability // #code2sustain
How can we leverage environmental data to hack solutions for a more sustainable future? #code2sustain will unlock green data sets for innovators to develop game-changing applications. 

Code For America Write-a-thon
No coding experience? No problem. Get started with civic hacking with a write-a-thon for MiamiWiki.org with Miami’s new Code For America Brigade and Hacks/Hackers Miami. Your local knowledge, stories and photos will help create and edit a community-driven Wiki about our city that engages visitors and residents.

Please Only Register One Profile

National Day of Civic Hacking is a national event that will take place June 1-2, 2013, in cities across the nation. The event will bring together citizens, software developers, and entrepreneurs from all over the nation to collaboratively create, build, and invent new solutions using publicly-released data, code and technology to solve challenges relevant to our neighborhoods, our cities, our states and our country. National Day of Civic Hacking will provide citizens an opportunity to do what is most quintessentially American: roll up our sleeves, get involved and work together to improve our society.

The event will leverage the expertise and entrepreneurial spirit of those outside federal, state and local government to drive meaningful, technology-based solutions for federal, state and local government. It demonstrates what’s possible when we all work together to strengthen our society and our lives. YOU can make a difference no matter where you live.

You should participate in National Day of Civic Hacking because the toughest challenges are not one community’s alone to solve. This is a unique opportunity to get involved, connect with others like yourself, and develop technology that will make the world a better place.
o   Demonstrate a commitment to the principles of transparency, participation, and collaboration.
o   Exercise a government’s interest in using open data and technology, in partnership with others, to address your local community’s felt needs.
o   Liberate open data that can inform better problem solving in every community.
o   Continue to collectively map a national innovation ecosystem and create new access points to that system.
o   Engage citizens in cities with little technology infrastructure to contribute to changing their community through open source, open data, entrepreneurship and code development.
o   Promote Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education by encouraging students to utilize open technology for solutions to real challenges.
o   Encourage large scale partnership and mutual understanding.

Wynwood Kitchen & Bar (WKB), Miami’s Global-Latino dining destination featuring dynamic art, innovative cocktails and live music, is launching a series of chef/artist collaborative dinners, teaming up Executive Chef Miguel Aguilar with celebrated Wynwood Walls artists. In a feast for the eyes, the series incorporates culinary expertise with the masterminds behind Miami’s graffiti and street art scene, kicking off with Miami-based, Santiago Rubino.
 
“WKB is known for its location in the heart of Wynwood, where art and food are fused every day, so it only made sense to bring the two together for a unique dining experience,” said Executive Chef Miguel Aguilar. As the first installment of the collaborative dinner series, the evening promises to push the boundaries between conventional supper clubs and artist previews. “I have a deep appreciation for food. It can say a lot about who you are. Most of the inspiration for my art comes from nature and history, so my diet of plant-based foods and seafood, allows me to start each day fresh,” says artist Santiago Rubino.
 
The menu for the evening was created by Aguilar and Rubino, and reflects the artist’s diet and favorite dishes with the spices and flavors of his native Argentina. Guests will also receive a commemorative menu designed and signed by Rubino and Aguilar.

Menu is as follows:
Smoked Tuna Empanadas
Capers, tomatoes, escabeche
 
Avocado Romaine Salad
Toasted almonds, yellow tomatoes, balsamic sesame dressing
 
Grilled Chilean Sea Bass
Boniato purée, chimichurri
 
Chocolate Alfajores
Argentina confection
 
Throughout the evening, a variety of Rubino’s work will be available for purchase at the GoShop, a retail emporium located onsite at the Wynwood Walls, featuring an inventory of artists’ books, bags, and one-of-a-kind creations.

The evening will feature music for electric and acoustic guitars, violin, saxophone, narration and, of course, a copious amount of electronics. The works will showcase various experimental practices in electronic music. While some musicians will explore large sonic trance-like washes, others will investigate the power of pitch and rhythmic repetitions as contrasted with the principles of indeterminacy. If you are curious about learning how symbiosis and diversion manifest themselves in music and how live electronics can facilitate an inner journey, this is an event for you.

On her debut solo release Tapping the Furnace, her fascinating and ear-grabbing works are interpreted by some of today’s top new music performers, including cellist Craig Hultgren, pianist Laura Gordy, guitarist Paul Bowman, and percussionist Stuart Gerber. The result is a wide-ranging collection that touches on the visceral contained within Hindman’s highly structured compositions.

20 Shades of Grey and Reclaimed Miami Opening Reception 5/11/13

20 Shades of Grey and Reclaimed Miami Opening Reception
reclaimedMay 11th, 2013 from 2pm to 10pm
Zadok Gallery
2534 North Miami Avenue
Miami, FL  33127

Reclaimed Miami
Recycling has taken the forefront in our collective consciousness, from hybrid auto technology, to alternative power sources, to simply using the right bin for discarding our water bottles. At Zadok Gallery, that trend line continues in the work of 10 Miami-based multidisciplinary artists who have adapted their methodology to utilize a variety of nontraditional materials. Reclaimed Miami, on view at Zadok Gallery from May 11th to July 4th, is about imaginatively re-purposing objects all around us that might not strike the average viewer as fodder for fine art. Wielding innovative artistic techniques and strategies that include knitting, embroidery, silk screening, welding, crocheting, gluing, folding, appropriating, and stuffing, the group transforms litter into objects of literal beauty that offer an engaging visual reconciliation of material excess and environmental concern.

 

20 Shades of Grey
The artists chosen to be in 20 Shades of Grey at Zadok Gallery are at least 70 years young or older and have been making their mark in our city before Art Basel, Art Fair Week, Art Miami, or the graffiti walls arrived. Artists do not retire. Their creative juices do not stop flowing at the arbitrary retirement age of 65. The artists in 20 Shades of Grey are fervent and tenacious about their work.
This exhibition does not pretend to be a comprehensive survey of those contemporary artists in this age group. The sheer number of artists in such a survey would be beyond our physical capabilities. This exhibition does illustrate the rewards of discipline, hard work, perseverance, and a lifetime of dedication. Each artist’s unending and unresolved struggle with their life’s work is, in itself, its own reward. Each of the artists is creating a legacy to be reckoned with by the art historians.
This exhibition honors those who have dedicated their lives to their art and have achieved the position of Florida National Treasures.

New C-Art Gallery Opening in Miami with Pop-up Exhibition 5/2/13

New C-Art Gallery Opening in Miami with Pop-up Exhibition
INVITACIONMay 2 at 7p.m.
O. Ascanio Gallery
2600 NW 2nd Ave
Wynwood Miami, FL
RSVP: info@c-artgallery.com

The newest gallery to open in Miami, C-Art Gallery, in collaboration with the prestigious Marlborough Gallery in New York, is pleased to present  “Reflections.” Curated by Kosme de Baraños, the show will take place as a “pop-up” exhibition, as the gallery will reveal its permanent home at a later date.

For his first solo exhibition in Miami, David Rodriguez Caballero presents thirty aluminum, brass and vinyl art works. His characteristic aluminum and brass pieces are from his metal series, while his vinyl works form part of an independent series that juxtaposes different layers of monochrome acetate resulting in a paint-like finish. The exhibit is comprised of geometric abstractions, wall installations and freestanding sculptures, taking spectators on a journey through the artist’s transition from three-dimensionality to sculpture.

David Rodríguez Caballero arrives in Miami for his solo exhibition after a strong showing at the Marlborough New York (Recent Works, Marlborough Chelsea, February 2012), and Madrid (Ongoing pieces, Marlborough Madrid, November 2012) that were well received by the public, critics and art collectors. In addition, his work was recently showcased at Art Basel Miami Beach, The Armory Show and Arco.

“I am honored that C-Art Gallery has given me this opportunity. Guests will be able to observe the breadth of my work, from my characteristic brass and aluminum pieces, to my recent aesthetic investigations and combinations of organic elements with inorganic elements.  The inspirations derived from living in New York over the past two years are apparent in my newer pieces — the skyscrapers and concrete mix with my visual thinking to produce abstract configurations,” said Rodriguez Caballero.

Director of C-Art Gallery Cesar Rodriguez stated, “we are excited to launch C-Art with such a visionary artist, it sets the tone for what we plan to do next. We are convinced that David’s work is an excellent option for contemporary art collectors throughout South Florida and Latin America, and are certain locals will enjoy the show.

“I am thrilled that his work will be showcased in Miami, his pieces will captivate both art collectors and art aficionados,” quipped Curator Kosme de Baraño. David Rodríguez Caballero is already creating the art works that will be shown in future exhibits, i.e. at the Carmen de Valencia Center in Spain in June of 2013, and the Monaco outpost of the Marlborough next October.

Sponsored by Chivas Regal
$10 Admission; Free for BAC Members and Miami Museum Month Participating Organizations’ Members

The Bakehouse Art Complex (BAC), South Florida’s premiere center for emerging and mid-career artists, proudly announces the completion of the Audrey Love Pavilion.
 
The Audrey Love Charitable Foundation recognized the Bakehouse Art Complex for its role in the fabric of Miami’s cultural community with a gift of $250,000. The renovation, funded by the grant, has completely transformed and improved the main entrance to the facility. With its signature flour silos still intact, BAC has converted the courtyard into an inviting outdoor event space. Award-winning architectural firm Shulman + Associates, located in Miami’s Design District, designed the renovations to enable patrons to experience the BAC in a whole new light. New features include a pedestrian ramp with integrated seating leading up to new large glass doors, a window looking into the gallery, a stage for performances, and state-of-the-art lighting. The renovation also provides the opportunity for BAC resident artists working with large scale sculptures to showcase their work outside of the building.
 
"This is the first significant capital development project since the organization’s inception nearly 27 years ago. We are so very grateful to the Audrey Love Foundation, Shulman + Associates, and our board member, Dr. Robert Apfel, for their support and dedication to the Bakehouse Art Complex," expressed Arlys Raymond, Executive Director of the Bakehouse Art Complex.
 
The late Audrey Love of The Audrey Love Foundation was a lifelong patron of the arts, a benefactor of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Metropolitan Opera, an early supporter of the Lowe Art Museum at the University of Miami, The Frost Museum at FIU, and the Florida Grand Opera. Audrey Love passed away in 2003 at the age of 100. The foundation’s recognition of the Bakehouse Art Complex signifies an appreciation for the facility’s 25-year commitment to creativity in the visual arts in Miami and its commitment to the future. And it has given the Bakehouse Art Complex the opportunity, and excuse, to let her name live on in Miami attached to a physical entity, The Audrey Love Gallery and Pavilion.

Reception for VIPs and Media

The Hangar Gallery, Wynwood will host local photographer, Anthony Jordon, Jr.‘s exhibition “Living & Loving 2: A Continued Celebration of Life”. This exhibit is a follow up tribute to Anthony’s solo show “Living & Loving: Celebrating our Comfort”, which raised funds for the 2010 Miami AIDSWalk.

Additionally, The Hangar Gallery has also offered to donate 10% of any purchases made on the evening of the exhibition.

As a self taught photographer, Anthony Jordon’s vision is to continually see what can be shot and shown through his lens for everyone’s enjoyment, not just his own.

He’s been shooting for several years throughout Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties.

Benefiting AIDSWalk Miami with this show, Anthony has also provided various photographic works to support other local non-profits and national charities such as Care Resource, the Susan G. Koman Race for the Cure, and the Florida Breast Cancer Foundation.

Anthony’s works have earned him numerous recognitions such as:

1st place-Zone 3 during 2009′s Sleepless Nights photomarathon;

1st Place in the People Category of the Carnival Cruise Lines 2010 photo contest;

Featured Photographer and Best Black & White Photo of Best Photo Yet’s blog in September-October 2010.

Anthony was also recently chosen as an Instagram Ambassador and to provide social media content for Scope Miami and the Heineken Mural Project, both during Art Basel 2012.

Communication would be sporadic; remembrances of earlier conversations, intermittent pictures and short emails. The games of their youth informed many bodies of work for each of them; in the form of photography for Daniel and sculpture, film and installation for JJ.
Daniel Peet’s photographs are a visual tour of the disarming, forgotten, and astonishing scenes he comes across scouring the streets of his hometown, Saint Paul, Minnesota. In addition, he has made large photographic panels featuring what he calls Everyday Objects.
JJ PEET has been the Resistance, the Luxury Leader, and the Sunday Painter. His work is produced inside a series of small studios. He makes paintings, sculptures, film and drawing.

Their collaborative exhibition will be on view at Gallery Diet through June 1st, 2013. This is the first time Daniel is exhibiting in Miami. This will be JJ’s second exhibition at Diet.

Opening at Hardcore Art Contemporary Space

Alberto Vejarano, aka Chanoir, is a Colombian artist raised in France that became known for his graffiti and especially for the iconic cat that in the mid-nineties began to flood walls in different cities in Europe and Latin America. Chanoir studied at the prestigious Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris where he was a pupil of Annette Messager, Christian Boltanski and Jean Michel Alberola and others. Among his most important exhibits is the one in the main hall of the Cartier Foundation in 2009.

“No hard feelings” questions the basis of unnecessary suffering and tyranny of power undisturbed. It is based on our experience as human beings, our fears, and emotions and how consciousness and society interferes and manipulates our reality. Beliefs are by definition alienating and to start to question is to start being not alienated, suffering is to accept that alienation.

In his works, the chains symbolize impotence and stuffed animals symbolize the carnal and mortal condition of man. The use of these popular characters allows the viewer to feel identified with the subject. By torturing these inanimate beings there comes an inquiry on human instinct and why they feel satisfaction when others are tortured, killed and humiliated. This desire to “revenge” is a recurring theme in humanity. Good and evil are relative but fundamental, as the symbol of yin and yang, which symbolizes the many dualities that make up our lives and govern the balance of life itself.

Who has the power, is the real question on torture. The opposition between victim and villain defines the notion of equality, an unusual equality, who has power and who has the truth? Both the victim and villain feed on each other’s energy without knowing if happiness is to be bound or loose. Fear is one of the most powerful forces in the world, we, as the knight of the Middle Ages, must separate ourselves from the fears that are not ours and if not, rejoice in our suffering, our compassion that defines us as human beings for anyone who has not suffered is not a man, not a human being. This is an invitation to fear only for our inevitable condition, for have wanted to be gods when we are nothing but animals.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Maximiliano Pecce, born in Rosario, Argentina, 1978, works using different types of plastic materials and found objects. His work is based on cast assembly techniques, thus ensuring each work is abstract in nature with its various textures and shapes that comes from the heating process; yet figurative enough to decode in a symbolic way.

For the artist, his message is clear. It expresses and demonstrates the excessive amount of non-biodegradable plastic consumer goods that harm the environment.

Through ‘upcycling’ these discarded goods into works of art, he wants people to become aware of the great global pollution caused by humans. In creating awareness, he uses these plastic materials by drawing you in with his colorful and everyday objects.

Official Launch Party For ‘Balance 023: Radio Slave’ 2xCD To Be Released April 2013
 
Celebrating ‘Balance Presents jozif’ out March 5th

Balance Music, the renowned label behind the Balance mix compilations and their newly-anointed ‘Balance Presents’ series, are hosting a very special party during Miami Music Week this year. The event will include a performance by jozif, who recently released Balance Presents jozif, and Radio Slave, the artist behind the upcoming mix Balance 023: Radio Slave. Held at exclusive location Villa 221 (221 NE 17th St.), the night will also boast sets from Nina Kraviz, Finnebassen, Chris Fortier, Robbie Lowe and special guests.

jozif is the first DJ to release a Balance Presents mix. The new series was founded to highlight the best emerging talent in the world of electronic music, and they have found an artist up to the task. His thoughtful, emotive and enrapturing mix of deep house shows an intelligence and ability beyond his years. The mix will be available in North America on March 5, and is currently available now in all other territories. 

Preview Balance Presents jozif now on SoundCloud.

Radio Slave, a long-standing name in the electronic music world, is now officially announced as the creator behind Balance 023. The project came about as a way for him to celebrate his 20th year of DJing. He recently described his concept to Balance Music, saying:

"The concept is to pull together the records that have really stood the test of time and also the records that were the ‘real moments’ from each year. Some of these are underground hits, others forgotten gems that club kids and DJ’s from now should really know about and enjoy. Going from my early years as a resident at Ministry’s "Open all Hours," where I played everything from ambient to techno, to my DJ sets with Joel Martin as Quiet Village where we played Led Zeppelin at festivals such as the Big Chill, to the heady nights at the Panorama Bar and Berghain which are still on-going, I wanna present the best of the best and try and piece my music journey together from the last 20 years."

Miami’s fashion scene will be in full speed when the highly successful, second-annual Miami Metropolitan International Fashion Week (MMIFW), hits Wynwood. Socialites, fashionistas, and VIP’s will be amerced in a three-day fashion extravaganza featuring daywear, eveningwear, and swimwear designers from around the world and special appearances and performances by celebrities, which in 2012 included Real Housewives of Miami star, Karent Sierra, and El Fashion Guru, Carlos Mejia.

MMIFW, a brainchild of co-founders Maxine Viktor and Philip Stienstra of PASA Event Productions, was created in 2012 to celebrate highly talented, yet little-know international and local designers, that needed a push to launch his/her brand. In its inaugural year, 17 designers from 11 countries including United States, Argentina, Brazil, Lebanon Russia, Saudi Arabia and Guatemala, were showcased. Many of whom, garnered great success after the event, including: evening gown designer, Abeyo & Marqz, who created Basketball Wives L.A. star, Malaysia Pargo, gown for the 2012 ESPY Awards; swimwear designer, Maya Swimwear, who has been featured in Sports Illustrated, Self magazine and Telemundo 51’s morning segment; and accessories designer Candy Woolley, who was featured on CNN Español and Univision and in US Weekly.

This year, MMIFW will raise the bar even higher, equipped with a new venue, new designers and technology-based interactive elements, which include LED lights and El Wire, making the runway a visually stimulating experience, with models and without.  “Our goal this year is to lead off of the success of the 2012 MMIFW, by creating a fashion installation that transcends all preconceived barriers of the fashion industry and opens the doors for little-known designers and models,“ says co-founder, Maxine Viktor, “In doing so, we believe fashion is just part of the experience.”
The 2013 lineup of swimwear, eveningwear and daywear designers will feature fashion-forward runway shows, performances, food and drink sponsors and after parties at high-end Wynwood locations. Designers showing include: Susan Panter, Pista a Jornada, Agragrami Fashion House, Model Mayhem, Dancing Dollsuk, Yadotsa and The Smooch Boutique.

Notable 2012 Miami Metropolitan International Fashion Week Designers
Candy Woolley:  After featuring her pieces at MMIFW, Candy, an accessory designer, was featured on CNN Español, Univision and in US Weekly. Reality star and designer, Kourtney Kardashian, was also seen wearing one of her pieces.

Abeyo & Marqz: After showcasing it’s evening wear designs at MMIFW, Abeyo & Marqz designed Basketball Wives L.A. star, Malaysia Pargo’s gown for the 2012 ESPY Awards.

Performances will take place every hour amid THE HANGAR’s current exhibition “Miami Minds,” a mix media show depicting Miami’s graffiti subculture as well as portraits breaking conventional standards of appearance.

Guests will enjoy an evening of sultry arias, art installations, and complimentary cocktails courtesy of Little Black Dress Vodka. The event is FREE and open to the public with RSVP. To RSVP, email rsvp@fgo.org or call 305-854-1643 ext. 1211.

UM Gallery Presents MFA Exhibit by Jose Miguel Cabrera Opening reception 3/9/13

UM Gallery Presents MFA Exhibit by Jose Miguel Cabrera Opening reception
March 9, 2013 from 2 pm to 9 pm.
University of Miami Gallery, The Wynwood Building
2750 N.W. 3rd Avenue, Suite 4
Miami

The exhibition runs from March 4 – 23.

José Miguel Cabrera’s photographic series RELATIVity portrays interrelated fragments of real-life situations that operate on the level of a puzzle and invite the viewer to decipher a story. Using techniques associated with narrative cinema, he has collaborated with amateur actors to create multiple “tableaux vivants” that, taken together, tell a single story that represents a simultaneous moment across various captured viewpoints. Cabrera montages still images to provide the subtle arc to a silent narrative that weaves and explores the phenomenon within a viewer’s individual reality and secret history to, ultimately, yield an experience of unique personal meaning.

Cabrera holds a bachelor’s degree in Communication from the University of Miami with dual majors in art photography and motion picture production. In 1997, he moved to New York City and worked in production for filmmaking and network television. He then worked as a “wet darkroom” printer and electronic media artist in the photography industry. In late 2002, he returned to South Florida and has since focused his projects on writing and electronic media. This exhibition is part of his work toward his Masters in Fine Arts at UM.

Miami Light Project is proud to present the return of funnyman and musician extraordinaire, Reggie Watts in an exclusive engagement at The Light Box at Goldman Warehouse, June 6-8, 2013.

Hilarious, brilliant, unpredictable – comedian/musician Reggie Watts is a staple of the international performance scene. Reggie’s improvised musical sets are created on-the-spot using only his formidable voice and a looping machine. No two songs are ever the same. An avowed “disinformationist,” Reggie loves to disorientate his audiences in the most entertaining way. You may not know what Reggie is going to do, but that’s okay – he doesn’t either.

As a solo performer, Reggie was handpicked by Conan O’Brien to open nightly on Conan’s entire North American “Prohibted From Being Funny on Television” tour. Reggie was featured as “Hot Comedian” in Rolling Stone’s Hot Issue 2010, named SPIN Magazine’s “Best New Comedian” and “Best of CMJ” 2010, and a featured profile in GQ’s Man Of The Year issue 2010. Reggie released his debut comedy cd/dvd ‘Why $#!+ So Crazy?’ on Comedy Central Records in May 2010. He has a new album entitled ‘Reggie Watts Live at Third Man Records’ which will be available limited edition vinyl Spring 2011.

On screen, Reggie has appeared on The Conan O’Brien Show, Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, HBO’s The Yes Men Save The World, Comedy Central’s Michael and Michael Have Issues, Iceland TV, UK’s “Funny Or Die,” PBS’ revamped Electric Company and the music video “What About Blowjobs?” for College Humor. Reggie can also be seen in short comedic interstitials during Comedy Central’s late night block and has a pilot for the channel in the works.

As a musician, Reggie recorded the EP Pot Cookies through Normative Records, sang on Regina Spektor’s “Dance Anthem of the 80s” and contributed two tracks to DFA Records’ Spaghetti Circus. Also the frontman for Seattle rock outfit Maktub, Reggie and his band released five albums. Reggie recorded original music featured on Louis CK’s show on FX and performed the theme song for Kristin Schaal’s “Penelope Princess of Pets” show.

This May 10 & 11, 2013, you won’t want to miss the premiere of the conclusion of Miami-based performer Rudi Goblen’s theatrical trilogy, delving into themes of love, suicide and belonging.

Miami Light Project is proud to present the world premiere of PET, a new theater work written and choreographed by Miami-based actor/writer/choreographer, Rudi Goblen and directed by Michael Yawney.

PET is an interactive physical one man theatre piece set in a support group meeting for ex-lovers/serial monogamist built from an array of interviews and shared experiences of the broken-hearted. Drawing from a repository of human emotions, fears, hopes, dreams and instincts; while forging a blend of movement, speech and actions to tell its stories – PET deals with the complexities of relationships, love, and lack thereof.

Bunny Yeager Returns!
Miami’s Legendary Pin-Up Photographer Opens New Studio
Grand Opening Exhibition and Fashion Presentation February 28

Bunny Yeager and CVC invite you to join us for the opening of the Bunny Yeager Studio in Miami’s Wynwood Art District.
Bunny Yeager is the legendary model, photographer, writer and swimsuit designer whose pictures of Bettie Page catapulted both Page and Yeager to fame in 1954. The publication of Yeager’s centerfold photo of Bettie Page in Playboy launched Yeager’s photographic career and began a lifelong friendship with Hugh Hefner, the magazine’s publisher. Yeager’s new studio is a permanent venue for the artist to continue her work as a portrait photographer, complete new projects and present an ongoing exhibition of her most famous images of women at their most natural and seductive.
Yeager defined a new genre of portraiture with her sensual images of the girl next door and with her self portraits. Beginning with her early photographs for men’s magazines in the 1950’s she produced compelling images both in the studio and on location. Her groundbreaking work inspired and influenced a new generation of photographers from Cindy Sherman to those who shoot swimsuit models outdoors for Sports Illustrated.
Based in Miami since the 1950’s, Yeager developed special techniques for camera, location and lighting that mark each of her images as indelibly hers. Yeager is a master at envisioning and bringing out the unique qualities of the female form in each of her models. The tricks and secrets of her direct and beguiling images are published in over 30 books she has written over the last 50 years. Her newest book Bunny Yeager’s Darkroom by Petra Mason, Rizzoli, 2012, features over 250 classic images, many in full page format.
Yeager’s new studio will feature an exhibition area presenting her most iconic images of Bettie Page and the other models she discovered and brought to the attention of an entire generation of men who still find them captivating.
Center for Visual Communication’s Miami Masters series celebrates Miami arts icons that have long influenced and shaped South Florida’s now vibrant art scene. Bunny Yeager launches CVC’s Miami Masters studio program, a new initiative that provides working studio and exhibition facilities to South Florida’s most notable artists.
