To paraphrase Susan Sontag -Art is a form of consciousness, which means that it is an understanding that is constantly in one form or another of evolution. Wynwood fits that definition and much more. Here are some images:

Unite 4: Good ‘Day Of Unity’ Launches In Miami
To Foster Acts Of Kindness, Public Service & Positive Community Action

Citywide Volunteer Activities are Scheduled for January 20th, 2014 and an Evening Celebration will Feature a Musical Performance by Award Winning Recording Artist Flo Rida

Unite 4: Good — The global movement for humanity announces the unite4:good Day of Unity nationwide tour kickoff in Miami, FL, with community volunteer activities taking place all across “The Magic City” on Martin Luther King Day, January 20th, 2014. Closing the day’s activities–a celebration featuring Flo Rida will serve not only to thank all those that participated, but to encourage others to join the movement.

In an effort to bring the community together and help create a shift of social consciousness from negative to positive, various Miami organizations are committing to take action in a lineup of events which will take place at several locations throughout the city. All activities are focused on enabling people to inspire, empower and share.

With thousands of volunteers expected to come out and participate at multiple locations, the coalition of businesses and organizations who are supporting the unite4:good Day of Unity is growing quickly. Coalition partners include organizations such as the Haiti Cultural Center, Florida International University, Neighbors 4 Neighbors, Voices for Children, Belly Motions, Special Olympics Florida, Miami-Dade College and more.

“Unity is a powerful force that can bring about change, both immediately and for the future,” said unite4:good Founder and global philanthropist, Anthony Melikhov. “In this Day of Unity, Miami is coming together and showing the world is that its residents inherently want to do good things, be kind to others and live in a community filled with positivity and the spirit of giving. It is an inspirational model that sets the bar high for many other cities across the country who will participate later in the year.”

Please join the conversation online at Facebook & Twitter using hashtags #U4GDayofUnity and #unite4good.

Unite 4: Good is a revolutionary global movement that will establish a new standard whereby acts of kindness and service become so idolized that everyone chooses to make them a part of their daily life. Through empowering action, creating new programs, and uniting both individuals and organizations in innovative ways–we will provoke positive and lasting change on a global scale. Unite 4: Good will encourage everyone to inspire, empower, share and love.

MDC Live Arts and Miami Light Project Present Nora Chipaumire in Miriam 1/24/14-1/25/14

Miami Light Project and MDC Live Arts proudly present renowned choreographer Nora Chipaumire. Chipaumire’s performance, Miriam, is a stunning dance tribute to the life of South African singer and freedom fighter Miriam Makeba.

Miriam is conceived, written and choreographed by Chipaumire and directed by Eric Ting.
Chipaumire creates her first character-driven work – a deeply personal dance-theatre performance that looks closely at the internal battles women face between public expectations and private desires, between selflessness and ambition and between the perfection and sacrifice of the feminine ideal. With an original score by six-time Grammy nominee Cuban composer and pianist Omar Sosa, Miriam layers text, sound and images that enrich the mysterious and haunting world of Chipaumire’s creation.

The inspiration for Miriam springs from the cultural and political milieu of Chipaumire’s own South African childhood, the symmetries in her and Makeba’s exiles and her self-discovery as an artist. But Miriam also reverberates with other literary and legendary influences, including the writings of Joseph Conrad and Chenjerai Hove, and the Christian iconography of Mary.

Chipamuire describes the work as “a solo for two people,” the persona embodied by Chipaumire emerging from a pile of rocks onstage to convey-through movement and text-a woman’s struggles with the burden of objectification and the weight of resistance in a world defined largely by men. Her efforts are abetted and haunted by an otherworldly character, both angel and devil, performed by Bronx-born Okwui Okpokwasili. In their interplay, Miriam renders in vivid images the intensity of women who fight to create themselves despite the dual legacies of strict cultural traditions and imperialist racial views that define female beauty and power.

Irreversible Magazine and Oxenberg Fine Art Exhibition of Fernando Vignoli 12/28/13

Irreversible Magazine and Oxenberg Fine Art Exhibition of Fernando Vignoli
Saturday, December 28th, from 12PM to 2PM
irreversibleOxenberg Fine Art
50 Ne 29th Street
Miami, Fl 33137

Fernando Vignoli was born in Belo Horizonte, State of Minas Gerais, Brazil, on August 14, 1960. He studied at Colégio Militar (a high school held by the Brazilian Army) and concluded his high school education at Colégio Pitágoras where he majored in architectural design. He graduated in Visual Communication at ESAP Escola Superior de Artes Visuais (University School of Visual Arts). Vignoli’s oil paintings rife with passageways, labyrinths, doors and windows are swathed in light to symbolize the possibility of escape from an unwanted reality. His strict, structured childhood under the watchful eye of his father, an army captain, inspires many of his works.

Looking at his paintings, writes John Ensley Hooker, who contributed to a recent monograph about the artist, “is like walking through a labyrinth of walls painted by him. Either you end up in a dark corner without knowing where to go, or you discover a vibrant view of the artist’s soul.”

Cost: Varies

Experience the future of storytelling, February 1-5, 2014. FilmGate Interactive, South Florida’s first fully interactive film festival and conference, emerges for a second year to showcase the latest ideas and innovations of modern storytelling. Featuring interactive screenings, exhibits, the first annual FILM WALK™, an Interactive Tech Playground, transmedia dance performances, a Story Hackathon, panels, workshops, bike-ins and music.

FilmGate Interactive, South Florida’s first fully interactive film festival and technology conference, presented by the Indie Film Club Miami, emerges for a second year, January 30 – February 5, 2014, throughout various South Florida venues, to engage the community in a showcase of the latest ideas and innovations of modern storytelling and audience engagement.

Based on the power of transmedia (cross-platform) storytelling and its ability to deliver and transform the way stories are told and experienced, FilmGate Interactive will present a host of events that employ various entertainment formats linked together such as film, contemporary dance, theater, music, gaming, mobile, and live events, to tell a single story. Offering a mix of interactive activities, with film and technology at the core, the 2014 line-up includes:

CNTL/ALT/DANCE Transmedia Dance Performances curated by Pioneer Winter
January 30 – February 1, 2014, visit Film-Gate.org for showtimes
Miami Light Project, 404 NW 26 Street, Miami, FL
FEE: $0 to $45
This interactive dance program includes, Drive-In Voyeur and Romantic Endings, Choreographed by Pioneer Winter and produced by Indie Film Club MIami. Drive-In Voyeur is an interactive performance that reflects on the time of late 1950s and early 1960s popularity of the drive-in movie using movement, contemporary dance and video projection. Romantic Endings pairs favorite romantic death scenes with contemporary dance performances and a curated food experience created by a surprise Miami Chef. The experience and professional “hand holders” are supplied. In TRPL QUINCE, quince being the traditional Hispanic coming-of-age/coming-out party for 15-year-old girls, the flamboyantly outrageous Cuban-American performer-choreographer-producer Octavio Campos is throwing himself not one but three quinces in a single performance. However, TRPL Quince, which will have its third showing at FilmGate 2014, looks nothing like the usual elaborately costumed party. Instead, Campos addresses a roiling mass of issues: his Cuban family’s refusal to accept his homosexuality and his desire to be an artist; the sometimes-troubled history of the men in his family; his reasons for making art; the looming challenges of middle age and mortality. “This transmedia event is my quince, my walkabout, my bar mitzvah, my rite of passage, my view of Miami, Berlin and New York, in all of it’s f*&#ed up glory!!! A celebration of Freedom and life and the ever-looming clock of mortality,” said Octavio Campos.

This transmedia musical is an exploration of the ways technology can enable us to transcend boundaries, uniting artists with each other and their audience. There is also cake.

The Net never sleeps. It is always daytime somewhere—and nighttime somewhere else. The Internet is insomnia.

Thousands have contributed webcam testimonies, written accounts and original artwork—material that forms the heart of A Journal of Insomnia. The National Film Board of Canada will summon us to an appointment with sleeplessness that provides arresting new perspectives on contemporary existence and the anxiety that so often underscores our days—and our nights.

Highway to Hops with Miami Brew Bus

First, we met in Coconut Grove at Lokal for a nice long ride to Funky Buddha Brewery in Oakland Park, Florida. Next stop is M.I.A Brewing, and lastly at Wynwood Brewing.  Then, we finish off back at Lokal after having worked up a serious appetite from all the beers.

About the breweries on the tour, here’s a description from the Miami Brew Bus website:

FUNKY BUDDHA BREWERY

Founded in 2010, Funky Buddha Brewery began as a brewpub, lounge, and hookah bar in Boca Raton, Florida. Initially brewing on a small, 40-gallon system, the brewpub began creating truly unique culinary-inspired beers, reaching worldwide acclaim such as 27th best brewery in the world according to RateBeer! Three short years later Buddha opened its 20,000 sq ft production brewery in the heart of South Florida, focusing on the continued use of big, bold flavors. You can find their flagships beers Hop Gun IPA and Floridian Hefeweizen on tap at the brewery year-round, and if you’re lucky enough to try a limited release you certainly won’t forget it! No Crusts Peanut Butter & Jelly Brown Ale, Blueberry Cobbler Ale, and Passionfruit Berlinerweiss are a few of our favorites. Just sayin’!

M.I.A. BREWING CO.

A very special part of our tour brings you to M.I.A. Brewing where you will be able to witness a brewery being born! M.I.A. Brewing has begun construction and estimates a January 2014 opening. Although the brewery hasn’t become operational they’ve already made a name for themselves at beer festivals and special events with their flagships Domino Pilsner, Freestyle Wheat Pale Ale, Castaway Kolsche, and the M.I.A. IPA. Yes, there will be beer and yes, hardhats are required!

WYNWOOD BREWING CO.

Miami’s first production brewery recently opened in the heart of the Wynwood Arts District. What used to be a warehouse and manufacturing district, Wynwood is now home to one of the largest street art exhibits in the world.

You And I Art Love Mission: “You And I Are Love is an emerging organization that caters to the local Miami art community and working towards spreading our work globally. Our mission is to give back through the power of art. Seeking emerging, talented artists in our community and giving them a platform to exhibit, sell, express their artistic, civic and educational abilities. Our commitment is to create a monthly art show for the local artist to exhibit their art work without charging them a fee and not taking commission from the art sold at our shows, aid in their involvement and bring an enjoyable art experience to our community. We are also working towards creating a positive outlet for children and adults through art therapy and art workshops—to hospitals, schools, cultural art centers and events. We believe love and art set the spirit free and bring us together as one human family because, you and I are love. Join us, together we can spread love through art.”

Prolific theater artist, Thaddeus Phillips weaves together real adventures of international border crossings into a dramatic examination of imaginary lines, arbitrary passports and curious customs. 17 Border Crossings explores a world opened up by the fall of the Berlin Wall on 11/9/89 and sealed off by the events of 9/11/01. A seasoned world traveler and wildly inventive artist, Phillips embarks on new territory by stripping the stage bare to create a deceptively simple stage voyage that takes audiences to the frontiers of Bosnia, Cuba, Brazil, Colombia, Bali, Czech Republic, Israel, Jordan and Mexico.

For the first time in Wynwood- our annual celebration of Cuban music!

Listening to the bitter-sweet lyrics of Cuban singer Yusa and the simple sophistication of her music, one knows one is finally hearing 21st century Cuba. Her cutting-edge songs map the contemporary emotional lives of urban Havana. Fused inside her music are traces from further afield, from iconclastic jazz and rock to today’s Brazil. Full of the vital energy of experimentation and the textures of musical exchange gained in intimate venues, Yusa offers a whole new way of hearing Cuba.

Danay Suárez, self-taught Cuban singer of jazz and hip hop, began her music career through the Cuban rap movement. She could rap “with perfect flow and compelling, conscious lyrics” and she could also sing jazz, soul, reggae, blues, and more, with the same ease. By fusing elements of hip hop with jazz and traditional Cuban music, Danay has been celebrated around the world as an impeccable vocalist and poignant storyteller.

Take a walk on the dark side with disco’s greatest provocateur. DJ Harvey wraps up the week long over hyped billion dollar art orgy, that is Art Basel Miami.
Bringing it to the masses, with a joyous 7 hour set… for your sleezy, sexy, deep and dirty, diskoid dancing pleasure!

Many DJs are respected, but few have the same kind of cult following as DJ Harvey. The British expat has a 30-year history as a disc jockey and party-thrower, with an astounding career that’s involved such highs as a weekly residency at the original Ministry of Sound in London, forming the influential early-’90s Tonka Soundsystem rave crew in the U.K., inspiring the recent cosmic disco revival with his marathon warehouse parties in downtown Los Angeles, where he lives and countless globe hopping gigs. Throughout it all, his style has remained the same, incorporating humor, masterful DJ chops, and beautifully obscure music.

Common Ground 2nd Annual LAB Miami Group Art Show

Artist-members from The LAB Miami will collaborate to present Common Ground, the 2nd Annual LAB Miami Group Art Show. The show will ask viewers to explore the commonalities between diverse mediums of art through the lens of sustainability.

By day, these artists are coworkers, grinding away on their individual artistic and entrepreneurial endeavors. But by night, they all heed to the same call of the artist inside them. Their collaboration represents both a meeting of the minds and an exposé of the souls.

With the newly renovated IdeaGarden as backdrop, these artists have chosen to use their artistic expression as a means to create awareness around sustainability and environmental revitalization. The exploration unfolds through the colorful shades of Weinbach’s paintings; [selfies]’ mesmerizing audio-visuals; the timelessness of Ayubi’s images; the fleeting and yet vividly reminiscent nature of Fail’s work; to the vibrant threads on Vividly’s “canvas”; the ingenuity of Vanilla Shake’s message; the inspiration from Fernandez’ words; and the comforting setting created from Lewis’ vision.

For These artists, art is more than just creative expression. It’s a living and a way of life.

For These Artists, art is more than something to be admired. It’s a tool for creating change.

For These Artists, art is more than a manipulation of elements. It’s a emblem of their blood, sweat, and tears.

And These artists are:

Catalina Ayubi
Esther Weinbach
Fa1l
Matthew Lewis
[selfies] (Jennifer Victor and Willie Avendano)
Vividly (Sabrina Scandar presenting Rosie Brown, Pamela Gallegos, and Corey Hunter)
Vanilla Shake Media (Vanessa Birnbaum, Shanna Dornbucsh, and Esther Weinbach)

Come join us for our Miami Art Week Events!
Opening Reception: Tuesday, December 3rd 7-11pm
Art Basel Wynwood Reception: Saturday, December 7th 7-11pm
Brisky BBQ: Sunday, December 8th 4-9pm

This exhibition will showcase a myriad of unique art that will reflect a diverse approach at creating work influenced by urban settings. Come have a fun night of artistic discussions, meet interesting people, listen to great music and have some drinks. Brisky Gallery is the place to be at during Miami Art Week.

The exhibit will feature works by over 20 artists local, national and international. It will include a large yet cohesive range of work from paintings, drawings, photography, sculpture and new media. “Affiliated”, is a result of the current movement in art, which reflects on the urban experience. Artists are affiliated but not limited only by crews, peers, countries, medium, sponsors, galleries and friends. Without this an artist job is much more difficult. This reflects on the old saying, “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know.” Every connection leads to a new adventure and is part of the process of the artist’s creation. This exhibit brings to Miami a solid lineup of artists who have a diverse background of both urban and fine artwork. Each artist is well known in their respective circles yet somehow were all affiliated by a different source.

Flaunt’s curated exhibition “Affordable Care,” will explore the contradiction and malleability of these two subjective words-“affordability” and “care”- a pairing, which, in a time of digital missives, healthcare glitches, and artistic free-for-all, is ever topical. The indoor/outdoor exhibit is free and open to the public during the day.

As part of the exhibition, Hunter & Gatti will present selections of their acrylic paintings over photograph canvases including editorials for Flaunt, featuring actress Ziyi Zhang, and Vogue.

Nicole Furman at SPECTRUM Miami 2013

Miami’s Wynwood Art District is the home to more than fifty galleries, five museums, seven art complexes and many art fairs and studios. Global art lovers enjoy discovering this district and named it one of most stylish neighbourhoods in the world. SPECTRUM showcases the best innovative, contemporary art from 50 top galleries and 50 juried studios representing talented artists from around the globe. It is an important event for all serious collectors, curators, museum directors and interior designers, providing an intimate look at some of the most important work at the forefront of the international contemporary art movement.

A lifelong fascination with painting, body painting, performances, installations and photography shapes the work of Nicole Furman. The artworks of her series: Disney Fantasy Series, Hommage Series and Silhouette Series will be displayed in her individual booth No. 613 at SPECTRUM Miami.

In reviewing her artistic concepts, the Bogota based artist explains the meaning behind her Disney Fantasy Series: “Utilizing Disney characters as symbols of innocence, I seek to question its mere purity- of innocence, that is- discovering that innocence perhaps never was. Alongside, I play with the adult side of the “Ultimate Fantasy” that Disney symbolizes: with a nude body as my canvas and the satisfaction of fulfilling expectations: a proper woman and a macho man, deconstructed.

In regards to her other works she mentions: “The Silhouette Series begins the search and exploration of feminine beauty (inside and out) finding it plagued with secret identities and insecurities. At the same time, it is a very personal and vulnerable journey, rendering my body and self as subject matter in various images. While in the Hommage Series I seek for my aesthetic within the pre-existent remembering that it is all a process of construction and reconstruction.”

Nicole Furman lives and works in Bogota, Colombia. She enrolled in a two year IB Higher Level Art Program in Lima, Peru where she focused on body painting and short term performance. She also took art courses with a focus on Visual Studies and Art History at Brown University, Providence, RI and Photography, Printmaking and Oil Painting Courses at the Art Center of South Florida where she further developped her artistic career.

Nicole Furman participated in various art performance projects of former NYU Tisch Art Students and produced a number of performances and series of body paints of great artistic vision, original content and unprecedented style while living in both Lima and Providence. Amoungst her juried and curated solo shows it should mentioned, that her works were displayed at TOAF (The Other Art Fair)-London, Feria de Arte Odeon-Bogota and Preview Berlin Art Fair-Berlin. Nicole Furman is an emerging multi media artist and body painter. Throughout her career, she has presented a sustained, eloquent, and provocative exploration of the construction of male and female roles and identites drawn from the unlimited supply of images from movies, TV, magazines, fashion and art history.

Working with several third party models and herself as model, Nicole has captured herself and others in a range of guises and personas which are at times amusing and disturbing, distasteful and affecting. To create her photographs she assumes multiple roles. With an arsenal of wigs, costumes, masks, and most importantly, body paints, she has deftly altered the (painted) bodies physique of herself and others, and surroundings to create a myriad of intriguing tableaus and characters.

Highlighted in the exhibition are in-depth presentations of her key series, including the ground-breaking series “Disney Fantasy” (2013), with photos of Minnie, Daisy, Donal Duck and Mickey which feature the painted bodies in non-stereotypical female or male roles – or the Beautiful works from her Silhouettes Series (2012), her self portraits, that address the experience and representation of beauty, personal layers, self exploration, and mental emotion, in the context of contemporary obsessions with youth, status, reality – and the miracle of our subconsciousness. Be careful. Shootin’ Daisy is waiting in Wynwood District. Or inside yourself?

There’s nothing better than Basel, Bacon and Beer, unless of course you have all three. Fortunately, The Basel Biergarten is back for another round. From Thursday Dec. 5 at 4pm through Saturday Dec. 7th, Wynwood art enthusiasts, local music lovers and foodies alike, will have a go-to haven popping up at 2600 NW 2nd Avenue, in the heart of the neighborhood. “The focus of the event is local: local artists, local beer, local musicians. We work closely with Brown Distributing and support their Drink Like a Local campaign,” says co-founder Andres Barrientos.

The Basel Biergarten team comprised of Chef Andres Barrientos and Chef James Bowers of Miami Smokers, Gaudi Castro, Brandon Brugal and Mixed Media Collective will continue their annual Basel week tradition, combining beer, bacon, street art and music. The pop-up Biergarten, in conjunction with the Drink Like a Local Campaign, will be serving up top craft beers from Florida breweries.

In addition, Barrientos and Bowers will be launching a new taco shop concept, “Smokeys Cantina” and serving their signature Miami Smokers Candied bacon, bacon jerky and other smoked treats, creating perfect beer-friendly pairings. The 7,000 square foot outdoor space will be transformed with lush Florida plants, 1000 feet of strung lighting and eclectic seating to create a one of a kind pop-up biergarten experience. Several notable artists including Daniel (Krave) Fila and Atomiko will be painting live during the festivities.

The Biergarten will also showcase live music daily by Gummdrops, a local collaborative platform that shines a light on some of the city�s best emerging talent. Gummdrops in collaboration with Jolt Radio will be broadcasting live from the Biergarten, so you can expect some your favorite local bands to drop in for sets daily. In keeping with the Miami Smokers motto; “We believe in the art of doing things the right way -no shortcuts or cutting corners,” guests can expect nothing but the best local art, music, eats and of course, beer.

A collaborative project featuring world class street and graffiti artists from the Netherlands: The London Police, Niels ‘Shoe’ Meulman and Hass & Hahn – Favela/Philly painting and their international peers will work together to create a garden of murals in the lot on 250 NW 24th Street in Wynwood. The mural installation begins November 28 and ends with a celebration on December 6, 2013.

As an inaugural project, event and a Dutch initiative, Caleidoscoop is working directly with the Consulate General of the Netherlands in New York is contributing with the specific purpose to produce a “satellite fair” that the Consulate can be exceedingly proud of and to demonstrate the ways in which cultural collaborations and contributions of the Dutch can be made during the highly-profiled December Art Fair week.

The lot of 250 NW 24th street is empty now, but will soon be the home of a new 11-unit live/work space and the first development to break ground in the popular community since 2006. The motivation behind 250 Wynwood is “to create a neighborhood so people can keep creating and growing” a fitting mantra for this inaugural event that showcases international cultural involvement and collaboration.

Providing artistic and curatorial support, Caleidoscoop is partnering with Kallenbach Gallery, Andenken and Unruly, three of the most respected galleries in the Netherlands. The promotion and organization of Caleidoscoop is made possible with the efforts of a number of entities. Largely the brainchild of Made Creative, a Dutch nonprofit and Catapult 13, a Miami based design firm, Caleidoscoop has the long term goal of being an annual event in Miami to showcase the extensive art and design talent of the Netherlands.

Spilt Milk Projects, Gramps, and Ad Hoc (NYC) present the inaugural Look Alive Fest, featuring exclusive headlining Florida performances by seminal noise rock trio Wolf Eyes from Detroit, MI, and experimental rock outsiders Indian Jewelry from Austin, TX. The Look Alive Fest is a home grown alternative festival curated by working musicians, offering something radically different for discerning fans of adventurous music during Art Basel Miami Beach weekend. The event features both national headliners and notable local bands, including Lil Daggers, Teepee, Cop City/Chill Pillars, and Nerve City.

Wolf Eyes (Sub Pop, American Tapes, De Stijl),comprised of Nate Young, John Olson, and Jim Baljo, are undeniably one of the most vital, important American noise bands around today. They have released countless CD-Rs, LPs, and tapes since 1996, including collaborations with Black Dice, Smegma, Stare Case, academic jazz musician Anthony Braxton, and too many side projects to name. “Wolf Eyes remain one of the most important experimental bands in the world” according to Pitchfork Media. Wolf Eyes were recently featured on the cover of The Wire (their second time gracing the cover of the esteemed UK avant-garde magazine), which included a feature discussing the evolution of the band, as well as its newest album, No Answer: Lower Floors (2013, CD/LP via De Stijl). Wolf Eyes will headline the first night of the fest on Friday, December 6 at Churchill’s Pub, supported by Guardian Alien featuring drummer Greg Fox from Brooklyn black metal band Liturgy, a reunion set from Gainesville grunge rockers Chronic Youth, and performance piece by celebrated Bay Area noisemaker Rubber O Cement. Local support includes an increasingly rare appearance by psychedelic shoegaze band Teepee and the eccentric Cop City/Chill Pillars.

Indian Jewelry (Reverberation Appreciation Society) headlines the second night on Saturday, December 7 at Gramps. Indian Jewelry is a noise rock collective founded by Tex Kerschen and Erika Thrasher, accompanied by Mary Sharpe on percussion and electronics, along with a fluid, rotating cast of local musicians and collaborators. Together they are flagbearers for the long Texas tradition of outsider rock ‘n’ roll – a grand, precarious history spanning the 13th Floor Elevators and Red Krayola, Jandek and Butthole Surfers. As a prolific touring band, Indian Jewelry is noted for seizure inducing live shows, featuring little more than a strobe light in total darkness. “Indian Jewelry stand at a kind of musical crossroads,” according to Dazed and Confused Magazine, “where the gloriously dark moments of rock n’roll’s past hang side by side with clunky rave synths and a droned-out attitude.” Pontiak (Thrill Jockey), comprised of brothers Jennings, Van and Lain Carney who play neo-psychedelic rock with stoner rock flourishes, will provide direct support for Indian Jewelry, as well as White Mystery, a brother and sister garage rock duo from Chicago, IL, and The Wiggins from Houston, TX. Local support includes loner rock nomad Nerve City (Sacred Bones) with a full band, and purveyors of heavy psych, Lil Daggers (Beyond Beyond is Beyond).

YogArt, South Florida’s unique addition to the world-renowned Art Basel weekend, returns to Wynwood Walls with new presenting sponsor jugofresh and new musical talent MC Yogi!

This pairing of Jivamukti yoga practice with the inspiring art at Wynwood Walls and live music offers everyone the opportunity to “Take a Breather During Basel”, and participate in an enhanced yoga experience during one of Miami’s busiest weekends of the year.

“One of the reasons we chose Wynwood Walls as our next location was specifically for wonderful events such as the YogArt festivities,” said Matthew Sherman, juice sommelier and founder of jugofresh. “At jugofresh, we are dedicated to healthy lifestyles and bold choices, so having this blend of art, music and health take place in our backyard proves that jugofresh is firmly planted in the most exciting destination in Miami.”

YogArt sessions are available during both the morning and early evening hours during Art Basel, and each class lasts approximately one hour. Each session will feature special introductory remarks from prominent members of the South Florida community, including Goldman Properties Chief Executive Officer Jessica Goldman, renowned collector Jason Rubell and Pérez Art Museum Miami Director Thomas Collins. Based out of Northern California, new talent MC Yogi’s vast and loyal fans are drawn to his upbeat tunes, with world beat, hip-hop, Bollywood, reggae, and dancehall influences, that he pairs with dazzling collage art made from photos of his own personal journeys through India. Lead by South Florida’s own Dawn B. Feinberg, a widely recognized certified yoga instructor and licensed movement therapist, sessions will also be accompanied by live music from world-recognized DJ Drez, known for his vast experience with the Jahta beat, Krishna Kishora Rico of The Mayapuris, healthy bites, cocktails, and more. Joining Feinberg will be special guest instructors Christy Nones McKenzie and Paul Toliuszis.

Since premiering during Art Basel 2009, Wynwood Walls, Miami’s open air “museum of the streets” has continued to attract visitors from around the world. Currently encompassing more than 40 dazzling, cutting edge murals created by respected street artists from Asia, Europe, Latin America and the United States, Wynwood Walls continues to evolve each year and has become one of Art Basel’s most sought after destinations. Headlining the vast array of programing for 2013 is an exhibit entitled “Women on the Walls.” Co-curated with arts guru Jeffrey Deitch,”Women on the Walls” will highlight nine, large scale original murals and a rare gallery exhibition presenting the works of international artists including: Lady Pink, Maya Hayuk, Swoon, Miss Van, Faith 47, Sheryo, Aiko, Claw Money, Fafi, Jess&Katie, Kashink, Myla, Shansia Hassani and Too Fly.

This colorful backdrop provides the perfect atmosphere for an energizing and uplifting yoga experience to prepare for the weekend’s Art Basel activities.

Music and art collide at Mana Wynwood during Art Basel 2013 as the large event space, 3P Production and Flaunt Magazine play host to a 3-night concert series kicking off with electronic music band Darkside.

Flaunt Magazine; 3P Production, the creative team behind Bardot and III Points Festival; and Mana Wynwood, the largest multipurpose production studio and raw space in Miami?s Wynwood Arts District, will play host to a 3-night concert series during Art Basel Week that aims to bring art and music together. Art Basel at Mana Wynwood will bring some of electronic music?s most well known artists to the stage including Darkside, the collaborative duo of electronic producer Nicolas Jaar and guitarist Dave Harrington.

This one-of-a-kind concert series will be brought to life with an eye-catching mural project on the outer walls of Mana Wynwood titled Shoot for the Moon. In addition, the concert space will be transformed into an indoor garden oasis fittingly called the Sound Garden. The 3-night series will kick off with Darkside’s premiere show of their debut album, Psychic, on Thursday, December 5th.

DARKSIDE is the collaborative duo of electronic producer Nicolas Jaar and guitarist Dave Harrington. The two musicians have vastly different backgrounds, but over the course of several years of touring together they found common ground: DARKSIDE. Dave and Nico use each other as mediums, working on primal instinct and summoning a hybrid of electronic music and psychedelic rock with the kind of artistic depth and breadth for which the term ?progressive? was coined.

The Inaugural Exhibit of Malaysian Art During Art Basel Week Miami 2013 Will Feature Over 30 Artists

With one of the largest contemporary art shows in the world around the corner, is not a surprise that artists, galleries and collectors alike are planning their best moves as participants or attendees of exhibits, shows or events during Art Basel Week in Miami in December.

One of the new additions, and a very promising one, will be Arts Kuala Lumpur-Miami, an art exhibit event that will showcase some of the best emerging, mid-career and established Malaysian artists, through multiple creative disciplines. Its premiere edition will coincide with Art Basel Week in Miami, FL (USA), and other important art related fairs such as Design Miami, Scope, Art Asia, and many more.

The works of 30 Malaysian artists, selected by Norsham Blasko, will cross the oceans to be exposed to the international art world at Arts Kuala Lumpur-Miami’s own venue in the heart of the renowned Wynwood Arts District, in Miami, one of the largest and most prominent creative communities in the United States.

Malaysia is melting-pot of races and religions where Malays, Indians, Chinese and many other ethnic groups live together in peace and harmony, reflected in the gracefulness and hospitality that its people is known for. The arts play a fundamental role as an expression of multiple cultures sharing their own heritage; other important disciplines include dance, music and crafts. This multicultural nation has become a gastronomical paradise and home to hundreds of colorful festivals as well.

This government-supported initiative will comprehensively blend art, lifestyle and corporate branding through an avant-garde schedule of events that will position Malaysian artists within the international art market, while sharing their impactful and creative genius with the world.

Arts Kuala Lumpur is the joint effort of iMAGE International Connection Sdn Bhd (Malaysia) and The Connector Group International LLC (USA). The project is organized by Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE) in collaboration with National Visual Art Gallery (NVAG), Malaysia.

At the turntables a line-up of renown DJs will play a wide range of styles, from disco to house and techno.

Going from fair to fair and visiting hundreds of booths can be really tiring. Fair Enough wishes to give a creative break to art crowds and beyond with an off-the-wall gathering where Art is to be enjoyed, lived and experienced.

KIND’s focus is to make the world a little kinder, one act at a time, with no arm-twisting. Their message of holistic kindness has been the foundation of its business since day one, and continues each time a new snack is created, or a new social initiative is introduced. One simple, foundational belief underpins it all: There’s more to business than just profit.

With special performance by Ariana

The Russian Pavilion is a juried exhibition showcasing emerging, mid- career and established artists from Russia, Eastern Europe, the Caucasus and Baltic regions during leading international fairs of contemporary and modern art. The Russian Pavilion is envisioned as a forum for critics, collectors and connoisseurs to view the works and to have a unique possibility to meet some of the artists in person.

Several cultural institutions in the United State supported the idea of Russian Pavilion and became its cultural partners, including the Museum of Russian Art (New Jersey), the Kolodzei Art Foundation, Kavachnina Contemporary, Northern Cross and the Russian American Cultural Center.

Such presentations of Russian culture abroad are certainly not new. Sergei Diaghilev (1872-1929) was one of the first advocates for Russian art and culture abroad. The 1907 Russian Seasons Abroad tour was a sensation for European audiences and a triumph for Russian art. The Russian Pavilion continues the tradition of Russian Seasons into the 21st century by presenting contemporary living artists from different locations.

The inaugural Russian Pavilion NY also coincided with the centennial of the famous 1913 New York Armory Show which introduced the American public to European avant-garde painting and sculpture, including works by such European modernists as Paul Cezanne, Marcel Duchamp, Pablo Picasso, Paul Gauguin and others. Initiator of the Russian Pavilion Artem Mirolevich and Valery Yershov – two artists of contrasting styles and personalities – contribute to the spirit of the Armory Show centennial in New York by continuing the introduction of international artists to the American public.

The artists range widely in age and country of origin. They cover several generations, from Ernst Neizvestny (1925) to Sasha Meret (1955), Igor Vishnyakov (1968), Igor Molochevsky (1976), Blue Noses Group (founded in 1999 by Viacheslav Mizin and Alexander Shaburov) and others.

Coming from different backgrounds and now residing in the United States, Europe and Russia emerging and well-known artists experiment with traditional and new media in search for self-expression and a unique creative vision. Russian Pavilion features paintings, sculpture, drawings, prints, photography, video installations and performances and strives for highest quality and originality.

Russian Pavilion embraces Russian culture in the United States plus cultural and historical memory and intercultural interpretations. Some of the artworks presented in the show strike and amaze the viewer’s imagination, emphasizing their unique-subjective human essence, with meaning shifting just beneath the surface. The juxtaposition and collision of different artistic individualities, styles and media make the Russian Pavilion of great interest to today’s public.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Rise Up helps disadvantaged artists in our community–partners with Jackson Memorial Hospitals twice a month giving art therapy and provides the local artist a place to showcase their work. David McCauley is truly an amazing individual! He inspires people to believe in themselves and follow their dreams.

50 NE 29th Street

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”.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Set to run over three days (10/3 – 10/5), III Points is going to bring to the area the most innovative and exceptional talents from the worlds of music, art, and technology. The event will take place in the burgeoning arts scene of the hip Wynwood neighborhood. The Wynwood-centric three-day summit will serve as a hub to a variety of III Point lectures, film screenings, art, interactive games, and seminars. Local art galleries will be participating with extended viewing hours. The artists involved will provide a sensory emersion between music, art, and technology.

III Points kicks off on Thursday night, when the city will be abuzz with kickoff performances including Miami Horror (live), Body High showcases, and other boutique launch events.

Friday ignites with happy hours and gallery shows hosting unique III Point experiences. Young Turks’ BBQ is the lead-in party with their fellow label mates. Following the BBQ will be an underground party called Point Bass with DJ Shadow, XXYYXX, Fortune Howl, and Spies on Bikes.

III Points recommences on Saturday with seminars by James Murphy, panel discussions, activities, games, gallery shows, and demonstrations scattered throughout the streets of Wynwood. 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.

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.

Artists participating are Patricia Margarita Hernandez, Samantha Kruze, Ana Mendez, and Richard Vergez.

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.

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 and Maintenance at historic Miami City Cemetery 9/7/13

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.

Viophilia announces the two night only group show “Can We Please Change Gears? – An Artist Cry for Transition.”

The group show features works by 40 striving local artists, who aim to make an impact on the local and international art conversation. Each artist differs in practice, however, all are up and coming Miami-based artists and present a glimpse into the future of the Miami art scene.

Artists like Atomik, Kazilla, Jeff Dekal, Kat King, Ivette Cabrera, Natalia Molina, Chris Valdes, Deming King Harriman and Buddha Funk will present a variety of work focusing on future, a new discourse on Miami and artistic transition. The exhibit features painting, installation, illustration, video, collage, graffiti and performances by Xela Zaid, Kendall Morgan and newSense from ArtOfficial, which will take place on the opening night only.

The works collectively explore the trajectory of Miami’s art scene while each piece individually represents a very personal examination of future perspectives and career visions by each artist.

Focused around a theme of innovation first time curator Tesoro Carolina promises an exciting exhibition inspired by the participating young and driven artists as well as by the community-centric concept of multi-artist studio Viophilia.

Viophilia, based in Miami, is a creative hive of individuals looking to create a more community based art scene. By hosting interactive art events and exhibitions, it leaves room for the artistic community to expand beyond their limits as individuals and work together as a whole. Viophilia is comprised of five individual artist studios and has a community space available for locals to host their own events and/or use for creative productions. Viophilia stands for the love of creativity and is built for artists by artists.

FYM AUG 10 ARTWALK_frontAugust 10th. Doors open at 8pm
The Wyndwood Hollywood Building
2312 North Miami Avenue
Wynwood, 33127.

Entry is Free of charge, as participants will be entering the Free Your Mind world.

Enjoy complimentary cocktails from 8- 9pm along with appetizing bits and bites courtesy of The Taco Shop. While walking around town, hop on The Free Bee for a Free ride and enjoy the Free Your Mind experience. Free Your Mind apparel and memorabilia will be available during the show.

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.

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.

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.
