“NEW WORLD ORDER” or “NWO” refers to a conspiracy theory for the emergence of a one world currency, religion, language and an absolute fascist ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT.
A secretive satanic elite/Illuminati with a globalist agenda is conspiring to rule the world through an autonomous world government, which would replace sovereign nation-states and have absolute complete control of only 500 million remaining human inhabitants on Earth. Currently the Earth’s total human population is 6,794,400,000, which means most all of us will have to disappear! This is being accomplished with “Population Control”, which includes contrived wars, epidemic diseases, a poisoned food and water supply, drugs, poverty, artificially manipulated weather disasters and mass killings in concentration type camps. Significant occurrences in politics and financial disasters have been orchestrated by an extremely influential cabal of the wealthiest families in the world, such as the Rothchilds, Rockafellers, House of Windsor, The Bush family and more are operating through many front and corporate organizations. Numerous historical and current events such as 9/11 are seen as steps in an on-going plot to achieve world domination, through manipulation of the media, secret political gatherings and decision-manking processes in places as The United Nations, Bilderberg Group, Bohemian Club, Trilateral Commission, Free Masonry, The Vatican, Inner London, Washington D.C. and more.
With the “current” access to vast amounts of information by using the Internet, this knowledge has been seeping into popular culture thereby inaugurating an unrivaled period of concerned citizens actively preparing for apocalyptic scenarios in the United States and abroad.
An insurrectionary movement capable of subverting this established Illuminati agenda has been forming in various places around the world.
Please be informed and do research on this topic, you will find it quite fascinating!
See you there…

Miriam Fernandes Gallery presents Translation of Nature A solo exhibition by Charles DuBack 1/9/10
MIRIAM FERNANDES GALLERY presents Translation of Nature: A solo exhibition by Charles DuBack
Opening reception: Saturday, January 9th, 2010. 6:00 – 9:00 p.m.
Location: MIRIAM FERNANDES GALLERY. 3618 NE 2nd Avenue. Miami, FL 33137. Miami Design District
Dates: From Jan 9th through Feb 11th, 2010
Gallery hours: Wednesday to Saturday from 12:00 to 6:00 p.m. Evenings and Sunday by appointment
Admission: RSVP at 305.573.9531 or rsvp@miriamfernandes.com
MIRIAM FERNANDES GALLERY cordially invites you to join Charles DuBack and his extraordinary abstract and joyously colored work entitled “Translation of Nature” on Saturday, January 9th, 2010 from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m.
A respected American contemporary painter, his work has been featured in prominent exhibitions including “Recent Paintings” at the Museum of Modern Art NYC, “The Biennial International Exhibition” at the Brooklyn Museum, the “Whitney Annual Exhibition of Contemporary American Painting” and a recent solo exhibition at the Portland Museum of Art this past fall.
DuBack’s recognition amongst his contemporaries reflects his years of experience and great potential. His paintings are housed in many museum collections and other public institutions throughout the country.
The artist, a devoted modernist who in the 1950s shared a New York studio with Alex Katz and Bernard Langlais, was inspired by the earlier paintings of Matisse and Picasso, and was involved in the emerging abstract expressionism, color-field and Pop Art movements.
With his artist’s eye for defining shape with a bold simplicity of brush stroke, sensitivity to color and abstract realist sensibilities, he has excelled at translating that visual vocabulary understanding into works of art that convey the vibrancy and animation of nature.
“I let nature invade my mind with her variety of changing forms; these become the building blocks that I draw upon to create.” Charles DuBack.
About the Gallery Owners
Miriam Fernandes and Kay Statz have traveled the world and invested in pieces of art by unique and extraordinary contemporary artists. With an emphasis on Brazilian and North American artists, MIRIAM FERNANDES GALLERY values exclusivity, education and long term investments and will strive to be a destinations for art culture in Miami.

Charley Friedman Magical Powers opening at Gallery Diet 1/8-9/10
OPENING RECEPTION :
January 8th, 2009 : 6 – 9 pm
SECOND SATURDAY :
January 9th, 2007 : 7 – 10 pm
Somewhere between humor and magic lies the work of Charley Friedman. He has an undying interest in eliciting emotion in the viewer, not the quick response of shock but rather the kinds of emotions we remember from childhood; laughter, awe, suspense. Similar reactions are often experienced when looking at artwork. Through form and color artists create a sort of mysticism. Though it is a bit absurd this notion, the adoration of objects, it is comical, as Charley would say, a bit of “the emperors new clothes,†it is also irresistible, seductive, and un-avoidable. In Magical Powers, Friedman is exploring wonder, how it is created, where it comes from and our responses to it. In this exhibition Friedman will exhibit three sculptural works, alongside an early example of his photography.
Magical Powers is the second solo exhibition of Friedman’s work at Gallery Diet. The exhibition will be on view at 174 NW 23 Street Miami, FL 33127 from January 8th – February 6th, 2010 with an opening reception January 8th from 6 – 9 p.m.
Gallery Diet is open to the public Tuesday thru Saturday from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m., to schedule a private tour outside of regular business hours please contact info@gallerydiet.com
About Charley Friedman
For the last decade, Charley Friedman has been making work exploring the themes of personal identity and the relationship to one’s body. His work primarily addresses the continuous, morphing response of the body to its particular environment and choices. The absurd, tragic, contradictory nature of living is able to be uniquely portrayed using humor as an psychological conduit, from multiple yet equal tangents. For Charley, it is the emotional “ah hah” that he desires over any formal qualities.
Charley wants viewers to feel before they think.
About Gallery Diet:
In addition to Friedman, Diet represents Brian Burkhardt, Richard Höglund, Abby Manock, and Daniel Milewski and exhibits their work alongside that of an invitational series. For additional information please visit www.gallerydiet.com

Bakehouse art complex presents Sensory Overload curated by Lauren Wagner 12/12/09
Sensory Overload. Curated by Lauren Wagner
In its 2,600 square foot Main Gallery, BAC artists confront the idea of the overwhelming sensory qualities of Art Basel in Sensory Overload. Based on the traditional five senses- touch, hear, see, smell, and taste, BAC artists cross and blend these senses together to create an experience of a sequence of synesthetic encounters, attacking one sense and at the same time evoking another.
5X7
The BAC presents a small works exhibition 5X7 in its Swenson Gallery. All of the work measures 5″ X 7″ or 7″ X 5″. The show will consist of a variety of media, from painting, drawing, sculpture, fiber art and on. There is sure to be something to please every aesthetic. Patrons are encouraged to purchase these small, unique works of art at $100.00 each.
When a guest purchases a piece from this exhibition, a photo will be taken of them and their new purchase. The picture will then be hung on the wall in place of the piece, thus becoming part of the exhibition.

Arnaldo Anaya Lucca Adam and Eve At Luis Perez GalerÃa at the Awarehouse 12/12/09
Arnaldo Anaya – Lucca. Adam and Eve.
One of today’s leading fashion photographers, Arnaldo Anaya-Lucca, will be presenting his first fine art solo exhibition, “Adam and Eve,†at Luis Perez Galeria in Wynwood, Miami during this year’s Art Basel Miami Beach, hosted by Manuel Norena. Anaya-Lucca is a renowned fashion photographer known for capturing the world of Ralph Lauren rethinks classic imagery as his own personal expression of events in history.
For his first exhibition of its type, Anaya-Lucca rethinks classic imagery in a more personal way, animating events in history with a curiosity that is both critical and sensual. Adam and Eve is a nude study inspired by 17th and 18th Century renaissance paintings. The images reflect the struggle of sensuality, temptation and shame that underlies the human condition as well as the joy of sexual innocence. The artist also wanted to address situations where the line between internal and external sense of self was/is in conflict throughout human history. The set design for the exhibition is also by Manuel Norena with Jed Root in New York.

Diana Lowenstein Fine Arts presents Carlos Betancourt Solo Exhibition Lapidus Infinitus 12/12/09
Carlos Betancourt. Solo Exhibition.
Lapidus Infinitus
In Betancourt’s most recent photographic artwork, the artist continues to assemble explosive compositions consisting of thousands of photographs of objects, people, flowers and other elements that occupy the superb glitzy realm of beauty for which he is known. The images appear in their full kitsch splendor, possessed by an enchanting light and seemingly crystallized by a magical sorcerer
In addition, there is a sprawling three-dimensional installation of multiple column pedestals, each supporting an accumulation of auspicious objects to be worshipped. A symmetrical assembly creates spaces for interaction within this fantastical world. As with the photographic compositions, this large-scale installation, Portrait of a Garden, iconizes these pop objects the artist has gifted with a unique sense of dignity.
PROJECT ROOM – Geo Graphic
A group exhibition brings together gallery and guest artists including Luis Alonzo Barkigia, John Bailly, Clifton Childree, Irene Clouthier, Felice Grodin, Jill Hotchkiss, Laura Kina, Alberto Latorre, Michael Loveland, Michael Scoggins, Carlos de Villasante, and Annie Wharton. Each artist is working with the same initial element, a world globe, and transforming it, thereby providing their own vision.

Money Makes Art
Natasha Duwin, Donna Haynes, Alette Simmons-Jimenez, Sibel Kocabasi, PJ Mills, Rai Escale, Ray Paul, Gisela Savdie, Ray Paul, Rosario Rivera-Bond, Henning Haupt, Guillermo Portieles
Artformz winter group show addresses the current global concern for “moneyâ€. How money, the abundance of it, or the utter lack of it, affects everyone’s lives is the topic of conversation everywhere. The outcome has been decidedly personal with each artist coming up with decidedly different work in each of their own styles, yet all reflect the current focus on currency. Everywhere there seems a conversation of sales, consumption, need, the economy, the paycheck, the job, retirement, bills, mortgages, college funds, layoffs, and studio rent.
The dilemma is more relevant now as artists tiptoe through this recession. While we listen to the hype and propaganda on how everything is getting better, the work struggles to get made and each artist finds there own creative way to survive. Money certainly does facilitate making art, but at the same time, the lack of an abundance of money in the wrong hands, may just possibly make better art.

Carlos Irijalba Twilight at Dina Mitrani Gallery 12/12/09
Carlos Irijalba. Twilight.
Irijalba, (Spain, 1979) presents us with an exhibition about the way in which Western culture perceives reality through the use of artificial light. The placement of a light fixture, like those used in football stadiums with expectant audiences, within a natural, untouched forest creates a surreal atmosphere. The focus shifts away from the habitually illuminated scene, to the artifact that emanates light.
The artist generates an amalgam of contrasts: western culture, which reconstructs reality with lighting effects with the eastern concept, which focuses more on shadows. We are faced with a critique of the society of the spectacle, the insignificance, the noise and the general conformity that dominates contemporary culture.
Dina Mitrani Gallery opened in November 2008 and specializes in international contemporary photography. The gallery currently represents eight emerging and mid-career artists and will be offering a lecture series and photo-based books. The gallery is committed to promoting its artists, as well as working with independent curators to produce unique group exhibitions

Beloved Structure The Argentine Legacy at Alejandra Von Hartz Gallery 12/12/09
Beloved Structure: The Argentine Legacy.
Curated by Eva Grinstein
Fabián Burgos, MartÃn Di Paola, Marcolina Dipierro, Verónica Di Toro, Lucio Dorr, Silvia Gurfein, Silvana Lacarra, Adriana Minoliti, Karina Peisajovich, Pablo Siquier and Andrés Sobrino.
Latin American Abstract Geometric painting, with its strong ties to Europe yet with its undeniably great, regional protagonists, has left an enormous legacy to the contemporary art scene of the continent.
In this opportunity, Alejandra von Hartz Gallery has invited the curator, Eva Grinstein, to present a carefully selected group of artists, who inherited and continued this rich tradition in Argentine art. They “reinterpret and—in a way— render homage to the masters of the vanguard, who changed the direction of Latin American art in the mid 20th century.â€
Grinstein notes: “This selection presents the work of eleven accomplished Argentine artists of the new generation, who through the use of very diverse materials and techniques—painting, reliefs, light pieces, and drawings—reignites and updates the passion for structure that characterized the artists that challenged the paradigms of representation.â€

Tico Torres. Paintings. Retrospective.
Tico is a world class musician who is internationally recognized as the drummer for the rock band, Bon Jovi. He is showing his paintings at the MacArt gallery displaying his wide-ranging talent. It is an unprecedented retrospective of his fine art.
His aspirations as a painter are as ambitious as those as Tico the musician. His growing body of work continues to receive notice of collectors and the art press. Whether sketching while on tour with his band, Bon Jovi, or painting in his New Jersey studio or home in Florida, Tico’s inspiration comes from life experiences.

Black Curtains at the White Room is a three-night Phish after-party series taking place December 28-30. The musical line-up features some of the best dubstep, electro and IDM acts in the country, including Break Science, Boombox and EOTO (Michael Travis and Jason Hann of the String Cheese Incident). Also on the bill are many of Miami’s top local performers such as Afrobeta, DJ Le Spam and Richard Devine. The venue is a short walk from AA Arena where Phish is staging its four-night NYE run and all headliners in the Black Curtains series will start their sets after the Phish shows let out, keeping the dance party going late into the night.

BAND BIOS:
Break Science is the culmination of a career of beat bending by its brainchild, Adam Deitch. Whether performing a DJ set with drums/programming or helming a live band, Break Science is club music in the vein of a “live mix tape,” blending live trip-hop, broken-beat, dub, drum & bass and hip-hop. The live band features some of the most talented musicians on the New York scene today (sidemen and producers for the Fugees, G-Unit, Matisyahu and more). Guests have included luminaries such as Wyclef, Matisyahu, Rob Swift of the Executioners and Talib Kweli. Adam Deitch, the son of two professional funk drummers, first picking up sticks at the age of two. Adam’s career crosses genres but has focused on hip-hop, funk and jazz, where he’s played the role of both drummer and producer. Inspired by hip-hop at an early age – in particular, by Public Enemy and Eric B and Rakim – Adam began his production career by making loops on a tape deck in his bedroom. He’s gone on to produce tracks for some of today’s top emcees, including 50-Cent, Redman, Talib Kweli, Snoop Dogg, KRS-One, MF Doom, J-Live, Jurassic 5 and Immortal Technic.
BoomBox is Producer/Engineer/DJ/Drummer Russ Randolph and Producer/DJ/Vocalist/Guitarist Zion Rock Godchaux. This pair of dynamic artists uses their rich musical history and their vision of music and popular culture to deliver a style of music distinctly different from anything heard or seen in music today. This signature sound and show brings live music to a new, elevated level. BoomBox evolved through the common visualization of two forward-thinking artists from diverse musical backgrounds. Raised by supportive and musically inclined parents, both Godchaux and Randolph had an obsession with music at very young ages. Godchaux, who grew up with deeply embedded rock and roll roots, began playing drums at the age of two, and played guitar and wrote his own songs as a teen. During the 90s, Godchaux was a well-received touring DJ based out of the San Francisco area. Randolph began as a young drummer, but it’s what was happening behind the scenes that attracted him most. As much producers as they are musicians, it is Randolph’s knack for engineering, Godchaux’s understanding of soundscapes and the duo’s rich ability to improvise live that keeps BoomBox resonating at higher levels.
Consisting of Michael Travis and Jason Hann of The String Cheese Incident, EOTO mixes the organic sounds of live drums, keyboards, vocals, bass, percussion, and guitar through a variety of programs and gadgets to create a style of music that is more likely found in a dance club, then a live music theater. What sets EOTO apart from other artists in this emerging genre is how the music is created. While some artists may spend hours pre-mixing samples and elements of music for their live show, EOTO uses nothing pre-recorded, giving them the ability to approach each song with on-the-spot spontaneity and 100% live improvisation.
Annette Recommends Urbanite Bistro – UPDATE CLOSED
UPDATE – THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED.
Went to Urbanite Bistro during Art Basel, we ordered off of the late night menu, the prices where very reasonable.  The staff was very nice the service was a little slow, but we where in no hurry.  The food was really, really good.  They first served us some complimentary bread with some awesome pesto dipping sauce, it was so good had to ask for more.  I had ordered the shrimp club, and I have to say this was an amazing club, it was a little spicy, which is the way that I like it.  James ordered the shrimp corndogs, he only got three but they where delicious, it came with spicy mustard and mango ketchup. Mark ordered the cubano sandwich; it weighted a lot, and was so yummy. I want to go back to see what there regular menu looks like.

I had not seen enough of  Aqua Art Miami so we head back there for another run through and still one of my favorite shows. We hit some of the smaller fairs around Aqua before heading over to Sculpt Miami. Now we head back over to South Beach to the Miami Beach Convention Center to see a little more of Art Basel, wow it is so big, you can not possible see it all.

Societe Perrier PULSE Miami 12/5/09
Wish Upon A….Sculpture!
Société Perrier™ Presents
Artist Christopher Labzda’s “Wishing Well†at PULSE Miami
Saturday, December 5th at the Miami Ice Palace, 1400 North Miami Avenue
Société Perrier™ is proud to announce its electrifying alliance with artist Christopher Labzda, who will create a “Wishing Well†sculpture constructed of Perrier bottles to be unveiled at PULSE Miami on Saturday December 5th, 2009.
PULSE Miami attendees can toss their loose change into the well, which is expected to stand between four and five feet in diameter and approximately three feet tall. The entire structure will be strung with tiny fairy lights, creating a mosaic of glowing Perrier bottles designed to grant wishes as they light up the night.
A visual celebration of Société Perrier’s™ commitment to supporting emerging artists and pop culture phenomena, Christopher Labzda’s Société Perrier™ Wishing Well will no doubt delight spectators, both mentally and visually.
Rising New York City artist Christopher Labzda will be constructing the Société Perrier™ structure live throughout the day on Saturday, December 5th. Labzda employs a whimsical archaeology of found objects to document the creative process and the people involved. He often appears in the works, inconspicuously slipping between the role of voyeur, subject and creator, while conjuring up futile notions of time and faith in relation to functional objects. At dusk, the completed Wishing Well sculpture will be illuminated and its magical wish-granting will commence!
Entering its fifth season, PULSE Contemporary Art Fair takes place at Miami’s Ice Palace and runs concurrently with Art Basel Miami Beach – from Thursday, December 3rd through Sunday December 6th. PULSE develops original cultural programming with a series of large-scale installations, its PULSE Play Video Lounge, the PULSE Performance event series and the recently launched PULSE Profiles series of artists and curators talks.
In the spirit of Perrier’s ® collaborations with iconic artists including Andy Warhol in the 80’s, Société Perrierâ„¢ the source for nightlife, whose identity was created by contemporary artist Scott Campbell, continues the brand’s decades of celebrating artistic expression by supporting PULSE Miami.
Photographs – Art Basel Week – Wednesday 12/2/09
Art Basel Week on Wednesday, December 2, 2009. The first thing we did was run by the Art Basel Miami Beach Vernissage. You will not be seeing any photographs from that. After a hassle in the media registration, we were told that no cameras were allowed (though our media badges have a camera on them). So we bailed fast and got the fun underway! We first stopped by Red Dot in Mid-Town and this one is great, the artwork is fantastic.  Then we moved on to the Design District and stopped by 101/Exhibit Gallery and as always they had a really good event.  The food was simple but really good (the pigs in a blanket are always a hit with me).  They also have a good variety of different styles of art.  Next our friends at BRPR had a launch party at a new boutique Anya Ponorovskaya, she is a designer from New York and her designs are very beautiful. Now we  headed over to O.H.W.O.W., and of course it was fabulous, there were so many people and the artwork was awesome.  There was also a celebrity siting, Iggy Pop.  As we where heading over to Art Whino we saw a house that was so decorated for Christmas, had to stop and take a picture.  We made it to Art Whino at Charcoal Studios, you have to stop, it is a small fair but well worth the stop.  Now we head over to the beach for a couple stops, our first stop on the beach was Ocean Front (where Art Positions was the last several years, which was on of my favorites) I was not impressed with it, but it might be for some people.  Our last stop for the night was the after party for Primary Flight at The Shore Club,they had live graffiti artists,  music and a wonderful crowd, taking place around the pool, can not ask for much better than that. For the better gallery, click here.  By Annette Peikert

Arnaldo Anaya-Lucca presents his First Fine Art Solo Exhibition at Luis Perez Galeria 12/3/09
Leading US Fashion Photographer Arnaldo Anaya-Lucca presents his First Fine Art Solo Exhibition at Luis Perez Galeria
Thursday, December 3rd, 2009. 7:00 – 10:00 p.m.
Opening reception: Thursday, December 3rd, 2009. 7:00 – 10:00 p.m.
Location: Luis Perez Galeria at The Awarehouse. 550 NW 29th Street. Miami, FL 33127
Admission: Free
One of today’s leading fashion photographers, Arnaldo Anaya-Lucca, will be presenting his first fine art solo exhibition, “Adam and Eve,†at Luis Perez Galeria in Wynwood, Miami during this year’s Art Basel Miami Beach, hosted by Manuel Norena.
For his first exhibition of its type, Anaya-Lucca rethinks classic imagery in a more personal way, animating events in history with a curiosity that is both critical and sensual. Adam and Eve is a nude study inspired by 17th and 18th Century renaissance paintings. The images reflect the struggle of sensuality, temptation and shame that underlies the human condition as well as the joy of sexual innocence. The artist also wanted to address situations where the line between internal and external sense of self was/is in conflict throughout human history. The set design for the exhibition is also by Manuel Norena with Jed Root in New York.
Arnaldo Anaya-Lucca currently lives between his studio in New York’s East village and his home in South Beach. This year’s Art Basel Miami Beach is the perfect time and place to show his first fine art solo exhibit. One of the images featured was donated and sold at auction for Ralph Lauren’s yearly Pink Pony event – Ralph Lauren’s breast cancer foundation.
Arnaldo Anaya-Lucca is one of the leading American fashion photographers working today. Born in Ponce, Puerto Rico Arnaldo Anaya-Lucca came to the USA in 1974. He attended Rockhurst College in Kansas City and received his degree in finance and economics in 1983. His career in fashion started in 1988 with Ralph Lauren, New York City. He moved his way up through corporate and eventually joined the men’s design team in 1992.
In late 1995 Ralph Lauren gave him his first photography assignment, shooting Tyson Beckford for the launch of the designers high-end brand, Purple Label. He has since contributed to magazines such as Australian Vogue, Australian GQ, American GQ, Japanese GQ, Russian GQ, Style, Esquire, Interview, Black Magazine Man, Men’s Vogue, New York Times Magazine, Spanish Harper’s Bazaar, Four Seasons Magazine, Flaunt, Brutus, Dutch and Vibe magazines. His extensive client roster includes: PoloRalph Lauren, Calvin Klein, Emporio Armani, Brooks Brothers, Nautica, Kohls, Fao Schwarz, Victoria’s Secrets, Lord & Taylor, Gap, Louis Boston, Bloomingdales, Saks Fifth Avenue, Oxford Clothes, Oscar de la Renta, Ann Taylor, Ann Taylor Loft, Tommy Hilfiger, Joseph Abboud, Bergdorf Goodman and Hickey Freeman. After focusing on fashion photography for the last 13 years Anaya-Lucca has began looking more towards conceptual work.

Photographs – Art Basel Week – Tuesday 12/1/09
Art Basel Miami Beach on Tuesday, December 1, 2009.  This was the first day of our tour of Art Basel, we had such a great time.  We hit Mid-Town first, and the first stop there was Photo Miami and it was awesome, they have some amazing photos.  For our second stop we hit Art Miami as usually this was also awesome, they never disappoint.  Then we moved over to Design District, and our first stop there was Littlest Sister 09 at the Spinello Gallery, wow this was so fun and exciting, you have to drop by to see the smallest art fair in town.  We moved on to Design Miami and it was good.  Now we moved on to downtown Miami to Galleria – “A World Seen Through Art” this is actually going to start being a weekly event at Mia at Biscayne.  Now we go back to Wynwood to Art Deconstruction at the Zag Gallery, they had some wonderful artwork and the space is amazing. This event was being promoted by BRPR Miami, so you know it had to be good.  As we head over to our last and finally stop on the first day of Art Basel was an event we did not have on our list, we had been told that it was a great event so here we go. But on the way over we where heading down NW 2nd Ave and we saw several people doing graffiti art and had to stop and take pictures, they are amazing artist, to see it on that scale was so incredible. We head over to the Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin, we got there at 11:30 pm and this place was still going, they had a DJ playing in the back and the dance floor was packed.  They had a great exhibit on the 2nd floor, you have to go up and see the girl leaning against the wall.

Right in the middle of the Wynwood Art District and catty-cornered from Scope Miami at the corner of 21st Street, Gallery Schuster from Berlin has opened a temporary gallery location during Miami’s winter art fair season to show three exhibitions with promising positions from Germany’s hottest art place.
After six successful years of participation in Miami’s art fairs, Gallery Schuster considered 2009 just the right timing to renew their commitment to this location and bring real exhibitions into a real gallery.
With their two galleries Schuster and Schuster Photo they have been an integral and constituting factor in the contemporary art scene of reunified Germany. This is underpinned by more than 200 exhibitions and over 50 participations in various art fairs around the globe. An intense network and cooperation with major museums and prominent collectors ensures a global footprint and regular interaction with the trend-setting leaders in the contemporary art scene.
According to New York Times, art quartier Heidestrasse in Berlin, right beside Berlin’s museum for contemporary art, Hamburger Bahnhof, ranks high under the world’s leading art spots. This is where the two Schuster galleries are located, in direct neighborhood to Arndt & Partner, Haunch of Venison or Hamish Morrison.
Gallery Schuster started their Miami presence on November 14th with a solo show from Berlin based painter Jens Hausmann that has already received a very positive recognition amongst the local art community.
In parallel to the Miami art fairs, Gallery Schuster will present “NEXTBERLINGENERATIONâ€, an inspiring group show of young and upcoming artists from Germany’s art capital. This show will present a mix of all media, including sculptures, objects, installations, photography, video and also painting. Contributing artists will be Benjamin Dewor, Xenia Fink, Julia Freisleben, Gerit Koglin, Marcel Kröner, Juliane Eirich, Lina Faller, Andreas Geisselhardt, Karen Irmer, Jangyoung Jung, Florian Langmaack, Oliver Pietsch, Marek Schovanek and Kestutis Svirnelis.
This show will be accessible from Monday, November 30th until December 19th with an official opening reception on Thursday, December 3rd from 6:00 – 10:00 p.m.

Winner of two honorific mentions in the 2009 International Photography Awards
December 2nd – December 5th
Miami based Colombian photographer and mix media artist Claudia Calle is getting ready to open her new studio in the Wynwood Art District (2722 NW 2 Ave) with a series of events that will run through out Art Basel week.

Claudia will exhibit for the first time her latest collection “Republic of Chinaâ€, where she portraits Chinese fascinating culture as well as its special socioeconomic reality. Claudia Calle enjoys experimenting with photography; painting and mixing elements over different and non – conventional materials and this technique is applied with perfection in this magnificent collection. The public will also be able to enjoy the series “Living in Silence†and “Between Frontier: The Longneck Story†which grant Claudia two honorable mentions in the 2009 International Photography Awards. The pieces were chosen among over 20,000 photography’s sent from all over the world.
The opening event will take place Wednesday, December 2nd from 7:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. and the artist is extending a cordial invitation to friends, media and art lovers to come celebrate with her in this special night.

Claudia Calle is an eclectic artist who photographs by instinct capturing unusual moments and giving us genial art, reflect of her heightened life philosophy. She has a passion for traveling and capturing the lifestyle and culture of the places she visits and her work is the result of the fusion between spontaneity and a conscientious study of the social and cultural phenomenon that she perceives at her surroundings.
In her own words she explains “Through the creative process something wonderful happens. My mind, eyes, hands and spirit align and without premeditation, in a magical second, I capture the essence of the people and things that are in front of me. The final result is always perfect because it comes from a spontaneous act. I enjoy experimenting with photography, painting and mixing elements over different and non – conventional materials. In my work I use symbols as part of the human occultism with the purpose of spreading and protecting the truth.â€

About Fountain:
Fountain was launched in March 2006 in New York in an effort to leverage support for independent galleries overlooked by the larger, corporate-sponsored art fairs. The name “Fountain†is a nod to Marcel Duchamp’s controversial sculpture which shook up the art world when it was rejected by the Society of Artists’ exhibition in 1917.
Similarly, in defiant contrast with The Armory Show, Art Basel Miami Beach, Pulse, Scope and the numerous other international art fairs, Fountain has received wide public support and critical acclaim for its experimental slant favoring large, open and ambitious installation spaces. In form and spirit, the artwork exhibited at Fountain reflects the avant-garde attitude of the Dada art movement, while attracting the attention of the international clientele and top collectors who attend the more traditional fairs.
Artnet – the most widely read art site on the web – describes Fountain: “Likeability and chutzpah used to be what art was about. That, and a little guerrilla mentality, which you had at Fountain in spades. This is the place where you reminisce about the good old days, when you did it yourself, when inspiration and magic struck like a bolt from the blue.â€

KaBe Contemporary Jose Antonio Hernandez Diez Recent Work Opening Reception 12/1/09
KaBe Contemporary Presents José Antonio Hernández Diez: Recent Work
First Solo Exhibition in Miami
On View December 1, 2009 – January 15, 2010
Opening Reception: Tuesday, December 1, 7-9pm
KaBe Contemporary
123 NW 23 Street, Miami, FL 33127
www.kabecontemporary.com
This winter, KaBe Contemporary will present José Antonio Hernández Diez: Recent Work, the Venezuelan artist’s first solo exhibition in Miami on view from December 1, 2009 through January 15, 2010. This exhibition presents new work in progress from José Antonio Hernández Diez and will evolve as it travels to new venues. After its presentation at KaBe Contemporary this exhibition will travel to Periférico Caracas among other venues in 2010. This show, which opens to coincide with Art Basel Miami Beach (December 3-6 2009), features the artist’s most recent work, a photography installation, reflecting the sentimental side of human beings. People who were touched by a personal tragedy, perhaps the loss of a loved one due to everyday crime, and seek some some sort of consolation or closure. His work explores time travel and the possibility to say one last goodbye or undo facts, such as death, thus contributing to a more humane and happy society.
José Antonio Hernández Diez began his artistic career at the end of the eighties. His early works are characterized by a strong emotional undercurrent. Among his most important works at this time were Anabel Lee (1988) and Houdini (1989). In the nineties his works reflected religious and socio-economic criticism. Vas pa’l cielo y vas llorando (You go to heaven and you go crying,1992) and In God we Trust (1990) condemn the economic and social inequalities between the United States and Latin America. At the end of the nineties his work began to speak about how certain products are consumed as social branding. La hermandad (The Brotherhood, 1994, Fundación la Caixa Collection, Barcelona) was a remarkable piece from that series. In the next decade his work began taking a much larger scale in the form of sculptural pieces – everyday objects blown out of proportion to reveal new uses and content. He also began to explore photography. He produced a series using the initials on tennis shoes to spell out the name of famous philosophers.
José Antonio Hernández Diez’ childhood fascination for machines made him develop many works that created repetitive movements with no beginning or end. His first piece to employ this kind of machine was Gran Patriarca (Grand Patriarch, 1993, The Ella Fontanals-Cisneros Collection, Miami). His solo exhibition at Galeria Elba Benitez, Madrid titled Revolutions Per Minute (2006) depicted 4 installations featuring, among other elements, his shirt and jeans being grabbed by a machine making them dance to the rhythm of its mechanical dictator. The artist deals with man’s weaknesses and unfulfilled desires. My Fucking Dreams featured a shirt hanging high on the wall caught by a machine trying to drag it down to the ground. Dreams gradually fade before the gentle, yet persistent machine.

MILTON BECERRA ALE’YA / (LIBro de las verdades escritas)
Monday November 30, from 7 to 10 pm
at 3072 SW 38 Ave.
Miami, Fl 33146
Milton Becerra has an original, distinctive and personal language, having a truly surprising power of renewal and revival: consistent with his artistic conviction, his own manner of assuming artistic creation.
The works gathered in this exhibition share this exceptional condition. Reference to myths of Wayúu ethnicity, the elements of natural landscape and the manifestation of a geometric rationalism coexist in them without conflict, articulated under the principles of harmony and proportion.
Milton Becerra is probably the most fruitful and prolific Venezuelan plastic artist of his generation. His vast production comprises practically all the artistic means and procedures used in worldwide contemporary plastic research.
He allows himself to look back once and again to his own steps, revisiting his constant aesthetic concerns, taking up again some of his initial ideas in order to, upon redimensioning them, offer us a constantly new, unpublished work as far as his proposals are concerned and endowed with captivating beauty and strength.
His rock assemblies on a plane surface, observed through a scheme of dense knots, carried out by means of the adaptation of a metric and constructivist disposition, change these works into a sort of homage to kinetics, conceived by the use of icons and gestures belonging to his own artistic discourse, as are the rocks, ropes and knots. Indeed, in these works – as in all of Becerra’s artistic works – the common denominator seems to be the precise domain of space and its expression in aesthetic, poetic and symbolic terms.
A dense and closed network of threads, changes into a transparent veil, in an almost pictoric glaze, that allows the objects it holds to be seen against a neutral background: rocks, pieces of wood, ritual objects and weapons of the Yekuana Culture, solitaires, can be seen suspended in space, dialoguing in the abyss and composing a truly visual poetry. These works, holders of a unique symbolic force, refer one to a primitive, pristine, tribal world, to contents having a universal nature, with those that suggest the meaning of feminine and masculine sexual organs.
The installation LÃnea continua (Continuous Line) is a work overflowing with symbolic meanings and resonance. A single uninterrupted thread comes out of the wall, holds a rock and returns to its original location, repeating the operation an endless amount of times. This thread acts as a line (a structural unit of bidimensional plastic expression) that traces a geometric design on the white wall, but that is detached from same and is projected in tridimensional space. Thus, the same continuous line keeps the rock (of which one fancies a rocky insect trapped in a giant spider’s web), in suspension and levitation, creating a deeply metaphoric space denoting what is sacred, mystical, and spiritual. Adolfo Wilson
The exhibition runs until January 31, 2010.

Susan Lee-Chun Everybody Suz-ercise final workout and Artist Talk 11/28/09
David Castillo Presents
Susan Lee-Chun’s
Everybody Suz-ercise! final work-out and Artist Talk
Please join us as the Suz-ercizers engage in their final work-out at the gallery on Saturday, November 28, 2 pm sharp. The work-out will be followed by an artist talk and brief question and answer session with Susan Lee-Chun.
David Castillo Gallery is proud to present Susan Lee-Chun’s first solo exhibition at the gallery, Everybody Suz-ercise! The artist has exhibited in three previous group shows at the gallery.
Lee-Chun continually investigates cultural stereotypes, as manifested in a narrative based on three individual performing egos: Sue, Sioux, and Su. The three “Suz” personify the strong contrast between these different perspectives and voices, and dialogue on the polarizing impacts of race and identity politics.
Performing as the three Suz over the years, Lee-Chun has manufactured their homes, sewed their clothes, partaken in their rituals, staged their interactions, and promoted their merchandise. As the combined symbolic entity, “Suz” develops an exciting new fitness wave, Suz-ercise. Everybody Suz-ercise! functions as an experience based on the familiar construct of the branded gym. The “faux-real” venture creates a subversive undertone about a company pitching an unrealistic and fantastical product/activity/lifestyle.
In this ongoing performance project of the last several years, Susan Lee-Chun creates a symmetrical illusion of reality, thereby breaking down the idea of hierarchies of identity, happiness, society, or fulfillment in general. The utopian vision sought in the current body of work is an extension of an entire literary and artistic genre that dates as far back as 1516 with Sir Thomas More’s novel Utopia. Susan Lee-Chun explores how perceived realities are themselves illusions, and how the audience can visualize new possibilities from the expected norm (paradigmatic shifts). In Everybody Suz-ercise! the artist accomplishes this through choreographed performances and multi-media sculpture and installation.
Susan Lee-Chun was born in Seoul, Korea and lives and works in Miami. In 2004, the artist received her MA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Since the summer of 2009, Susan Lee-Chun participated in two artist residences: the Bemis Center in Omaha, NE and Three Walls in Chicago, IL. Both residencies were instrumental in the development of the current body of work for Everybody Suz-ercise! She has exhibited widely in the U.S. and abroad. Her work is in public and private collections, including the Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami and Miami Art Museum.

Saturday 11/28/2009 – DANCE RITUAL with ‘LITTLE LOUIE’ VEGA hosted by Back Door Bamby
‘Little Louie’ Vega’s Dance Ritual is cast from a different mold than other parties in the City of Lights. Vega’s 5-hour solo sets are born out of all night marathons at Larry Levan’s Paradise Garage and David Mancuso’s Loft. Dance Ritual is a slowly-building crescendos of bumpy house music, Afro-Cuban influenced tribal rhythms, and fervent soulful vocals, climaxing with a crowd full of satisfied yet quizzical expressions, wondering where the night went, why the sun is out, and why their feet hurt so much.
I would recommend wearing some comfortable shoes.

Pia Lindman Face Act Performance at Gallery Diet 12/3,5/09
Pia Lindman’s practice evolves around the themes of social context and space, as well as the performative aspect of making and experiencing art. Her interest in social space stems from studies in architecture, which eventually led her to study for a second master’s degree in art at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) with public art artists such as Dennis Adams and Krzysztof Wodiczko, and performance artist Joan Jonas.
Pia Lindman takes the tradition of site-specific art as a point of departure, while addressing social, political, and economic conditions of a site. She creates places for negotiation of diverse cultural, physical, and emotional knowledges : like Finnish sauna bathing tradition vs. American sensitivity to nudity. By artistic interventions into social contexts like the Public Sauna at P.S.1 in New York (2000), her goal is to provoke passerbys to perform and experience a particular social practice, bringing about a re-evaluation of notions of corporeality and public sphere.
Pia Lindman’s performance Face Act, is part of a larger body work that Lindman developed at the Humanoid Robotics Group at M.I.T. As Lindman reads aloud lines from a Simon Rich text, Drama students at M.I.T. use Pia Lindman’s face as their stage; pulling, poking, and pinching her face to create the corresponding facial expression. The students collective mind interpreting the text serves as an artificial intelligence, while their fingers serve as the actuators transforming this mind into action.
Pia Lindman will be performing Face Act at Gallery Diet during the week of Art Basel Miami Beach.
PERFORMANCE TIMES:

WHEN: December 3-6, 2009, Preview reception December 2, during the renowned Art Basel Miami Beach week.
WHERE: Red Dot Fair, Wynwood Art District, Miami inside the lounge of the 30,000 sq. ft. pavilion www.reddotfair.com
WHAT: Experience the lounge at Red Dot Fair curated by Eileen Braziel and designed by Armand Aubery.
ABOUT: “Humans Shouldn’t Do What Machine’s Do†based on current art installation artist’s influences in science and art.

DESCRIPTION:
Art Curator Eileen Braziel chose New Media artists who work with man-made materials and aesthetics as concept. The artwork is not the typical dark ended message surrounding punk, goth and sci-ï¬ undertones that leave us in the mist of gloom and doom: Instead, the 400 sq. ft. lounge is full of machines that click and clang, move and illuminate with a result what is visually beautiful. There is something meditative about repetition, almost calming as listening to a Cagian prepared piano: Beyond the remains of our thought, the installation art in the lounge at Red Dot fair gives us something to look and grasp, and we are not left in the dust.
The lounge at Red Dot will house New Media art based on the observer’s participation: Federico Muelas’ video projection, and interactive video, Joel Hobbie’s LED installations from recycled metals from a science laboratory, Greg Caprnka’s live camera work is presented in LCD screen mocking a painting with an ornate frame, Sandro Del Rosario’s handpainted 16 MM ï¬lm is presented in an antique writing box, Teri Yarbrow and Max Almy’s small LED video of a white dove inside ornate bird cages ï¬ll the lounge.
One can visit the space, have a cocktail and relax in an eclectic atmosphere designed by ARMAND AUBERY, Architecture & Interiors from Miami. Please join us during the hype of the art fair and charge yourself from the block’s band of familiars. Outdoors features sculptures by Beth Rekow “Skin†and Joel Hobbie “Theremin Project†where there LED are solar powered.

Sensory Overload
Exhibition Dates: November 28 – December 17
In its 2,600 square foot Main Gallery, BAC artists confront the idea of the overwhelming sensory qualities of Art Basel in Sensory Overload. Based on the traditional five senses- touch, hear, see, smell, and taste, BAC artists cross and blend these senses together to create an experience of a sequence of synesthetic encounters, attacking one sense and at the same time evoking another.
Curated by Lauren Wagner
5X7
The BAC presents a small works exhibition 5X7 in its Swenson Gallery. All of the work measures 5″ X 7″ or 7″ X 5″. The show will consist of a variety of media, from painting, drawing, sculpture, fiber art and on. There is sure to be something to please every aesthetic.
Patrons are encouraged to purchase these small, unique works of art at $100.00 each.
When a guest purchases a piece from this exhibition, a photo will be taken of them and their new purchase. The picture will then be hung on the wall in place of the piece, thus becoming part of the exhibition.

An Art Exhibition for All Mankind 12/1-5/09
AN ART EXHIBITION FOR ALL MANKIND.
Reial Cercle Artistic of Barcelona (RCA) is proud to sponsor this art exhibit in Miami’s Wynwood Art District during the upcoming Art Basel-Miami. RCA is a nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1881 and given its present day name by King Alfonso XIII in 1926. Its mission is to promote and support all artistic and cultural activities of the people of Barcelona. On December 1, 2009, its first ever exhibit outside of Barcelona will open to the public. We welcome you to come and experience “Post-Human. Good-bye to Mankind.” during its 12-day run.
…Man is something that shall be surpassed…
Friedrich Nietzsche.
…These are poetics that question the civilizing paradigm and they are included as part of a speech that articulates diverse forms of fusion and Post-Utopian connections (the existential, the instrumental, the political and the anthropological), but not on the side of rationality but on the side of chance; a vindication of the failure, a transcendental fault (…) Without doubt in a momentary lapse of time, mankind will suddenly be scalable like a machine, once completed its genomic cartography… this can even occur in different types of cyborg or unsuspected subsequent mutant transformations between the instrument and its flesh “(de)naturalized” (…) cleared, re-armed and redone in/from bionic assemblies where the entire body will be able to be replaced by a “Total Prosthesis,” which will happen in-line with other phenomena connected with the body, like Carnal Tragedies… a Nuclear Park and/or a Museum of the Negativity…
AdriaNomada (curator)
“United to End AIDS”
December 1 is also World AIDS Day, and RCA joins Mothers’ Voices in its mission to end AIDS. Mothers’ Voices is a national nonprofit organization whose mission is to strengthen family communication about sex, sexual health, and HIV/AIDS/STD prevention through education and awareness.
AS SPACE IS LIMITED, PLEASE RSVP IF PLANNING TO ATTEND ON DECEMBER 1 BY EMAILING INFO@RODEZART.COM and WE WILL SUBSEQUENTLY CONFIRM YOUR ATTENDANCE.
We also kindly thank our Spirits & Wine sponsors, which we hope you patronize in the future:

VIP Preview There’s Still Life at Harold Golen Gallery 11/25/09
THERE’S STILL LIFE “VIP Preview”!
Presented by:
MAUGER MODERN ART of Bath,England
and will be exhibited for a VIP preview at :
HAROLD GOLEN GALLERY November 25th – 29th
Opening reception November 25th , 7-10pm
There’s Still Life is an International exhibition taking place in London in October and Miami on November 25th and then to Scope Art Fair Miami December 4th -6th. A select group of contemporary artists from the US and Europe have been given a simple brief – to take the traditional discipline of Still Life and produce non-conventional contemporary paintings, drawings and sculpture.
Bringing together a group of original artworks from many different artists within the structure of a specific theme helps the audience understand the context of the show, and rather than just exhibiting ‘new work’ it unites all artists in their efforts to address the same brief. The works, although visually disparate, will be drawn into one cohesive, understandable body.
Both exhibitions will show work from emerging and mid-career artists. UK and European artists will participate in the London show, and US artists will exhibit in Miami (with some exceptions).
Whilst a sub-theme of the show is expected to run through many of the works as a creative response to excessive media focussing on the current economic crisis, this show’s real aim is to intrigue,entertain and uplift the viewer.

Ownership is a driving force behind contemporary art. Desire, which turns to need, the need to acquire, live with, and take possession of some particular thing, drives the market that is often seen as the sustenance to contemporary artistic practice. Though, when ownership and the “market†are commonly discussed, they are generally being referred to in economic terms; ownership in terms of the collectors’ specific possession of a particular and tangible object, and the market, as the system of trends and practices that make this exchange possible. In this exhibition ownership has become a more corporeal term, it has come to mean the ownership over an appropriated idea, personality, persona, or creative train of thought… like a sly creature who slinks into an uninhabited den and claims it for his own, these artists are crawling into the thoughts, bodies, objects, and sounds of historical artists they reference, popular culture icons, or imaginary personas that serve as enablers to their practice… the market for these artists has not changed, it doesn’t alter, the kind of ownership they seek is always available for exchange.

Into The Void Closing Reception at Charest-Weinberg Gallery 11/14/09
“Into The Void: The Ballad of The Martyr
as Told by Ingres”
CLOSING RECEPTION: SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14th, 7-10PM.
RSVP at info@charest-weinberg.com
“Let me hear no more of that absurd maxim: ‘We need the new, we need to follow our century, everything changes, everything is changed.’ Sophistry- all of that! Does nature change, do the light and air change, have the passions of the human heart changed since the time of Homer? ‘We must follow our century’: but suppose my century is wrong? Because my neighbor does evil, am I therefore obligated to do it also?
Because virtue, as also beauty, can be misunderstood by you, have I in turn got to misunderstand it? Shall I be compelled to imitate you!â€
Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, c.1834.
Miami, FL — Charest-Weinberg Gallery presents the first Miami exhibition of artists Davis/Langlois, Into The Void: The Ballad of The Martyr as Told by Ingres, taking place October 7 – November 21, 2009. This exhibition will showcase work fresh from their exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago (September 5 – 28, 2009), as well as new pieces made specifically for their Miami debut. An opening reception will be held on Wednesday, October 7 from 6 PM to 9 PM.
Davis/Langlois conceived Into the Void as a meta-fable narrated by a resurrected Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres. The story features Iman, a 15-year-old Palestinian-American, as she contemplates the plight of Suquamish leader Chief Seattle, who is forced to relinquish his sacred land to the tune of Black Sabbath and the howls of Soundgarden. In her quest for honor, Iman finds herself hanging on to every prophetic line. Through the tradition of martyrdom in Baroque and Neo-Classical painting, Davis/Langlois explore contemporary notions of assimilation, empire, xenophobia and environmentalism. The exhibition invokes the question ‘what is honor, and what is honorable? What price does one pay for steadfast commitment and profound devotion?’
Rob Davis and Mike Langlois have been artistic collaborators since 1997 after meeting at the School of the Art Institute in Chicago. Redefining the conventional notion that paintings are made by a single artist or hand, each takes an equal role in developing ideas, choosing subjects and executing the works.
Known for their contemporary representational paintings, the duo constructs narratives, each painting acting as part of a larger story and by their proximity, forcing viewers to make a conceptual jump from image to image. With a vocabulary derived from popular culture and subcultures, the artists are committed to applying classical techniques to contemporary art. Their seemingly dissimilar installations center on themes ranging from desire, family, identity, martyrdom, utopia and politics.
About Charest-Weinberg Gallery
Representing today’s top emerging contemporary artists from the United States and Canada, the gallery looks to showcase its ever-expanding, cutting-edge program.
Highlighted artists:
Pedro Barbeito, Suntek Chung, Robert Davis, Richard Dupont, Brendan Flanagan, Michael Langlois, Jason Gringler, Fernando Mastrangelo, Marc Seguin…

Clemencia Labin | Doping Pulpa
Paula Otegui | Metaforas de la naturaleza
Diana Lowenstein Fine Arts
Saturday, November 14th, 7:30-10pm
CLEMENCIA LABIN – Doping Pulpa
The art that Clemencia Labin has been working on for the past few years is brimming with moisture, fragrance and colour. It oozes tropical splendour and also winks playfully at creatures of the far-off, imaginary land of childhood: cuddly toys. The fabrics chosen by Labin in her work, cloths of all kinds with soft filling, are the same as those used for teddy bears. This element of tenderness which is connected to all things soft, snug and spongy, gives her work a warmth quite rare in the cynical, disbelieving world of contemporary art, so used to exploiting the darker, seedier side of culture.
Labin´s work not only strikes a note of tenderness, but also of fun, evident in titles such as Pulpa Chic and Doping Pulpa. Her art exudes a sense of ease and a healthy attitude of not taking itself too seriously, while simultaneously providing an in depth study, full of sensuality, tenderness and respect, working the materials with such expertise that her creations become surprising objects, in the purest sense of the word.
Her sense of fun is fully apparent in her creations, which constantly challenge formats and concepts. Are they wall sculptures or paintings with a three-dimensional element? Are they cuddly toys or are they to be admired forever on the wall of a gallery or museum?
Much is said about the influence of Pop Art in Clemencia´s work, but that is somewhat questionable. Labin´s work makes use of the ease, the humour and the colouring associated with Pop Art, but differs from it in that it is free of the inherent cynicism connected to that movement.
This exhibition takes place in an architectural space which is an elongated prism in shape for which Labin has designed an all-encompassing show: in other words, she uses the space as an interior designer or an architect would. She does not merely “hang†or position her pieces, but plans out meticulously how she is going to use the whole space.
Originally from Venezuela, Clemencia Labin studied at Columbia University and currently lives and works in Hamburg, Germany.
Project Room
PAULA OTEGUI – Metaforas de la naturaleza
Paula Otegui was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where she studied at the Escuela Superior Ernesto de la Cárcova, Instituto Universitario Nacional de Arte, as well as the Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes Prilidiano Pueyrredón. Her work has been exhibited internationally since 1995. She is the recipient of numerous awards and distinctions. Her intricately detailed paintings depicting a natural, yet fantastical world, are featured in the Project Room. As mirrored in her work, Otegui believes the world can be a complex sum, sometimes pathetic. The essential exists in the interactions. Everything occurs simultaneously, while the effects are infinite.
Exhibitions will be on view through November 25th, 2009.

LUIS DIAZ
Painter and Illustrator Luis Diaz collected Garbage Pail Kids card/stickers by Topps, like many other kids in ’86-88. Not realizing the artwork on the cards were a strong influence in his art, he never thought of GPK’s again till some time in college and felt the 80’s were slowly creeping into everyone’s subconscious. Hearing about GPK’s being re-released from a friend, he was suddenly transported to that world again and decided he wanted to find out if there’s a possibility if he can be involved in the series. He contacted several past GPK’s artists after doing some digging online and found the address to send samples of his work to Topps.
Several months later he received a call from Topps accepting his work, which for Luis was a dream come true!
Garbage Pail Kids were originally released in 1985 and designed to parody the Cabbage Patch Kids dolls created by Xavier Roberts, which were immensely popular at the time. Each card/sticker featured a Garbage Pail Kid character, with some comical abnormality and/or suffering some terrible fate, and a humorous, word play-rich character name.
Luis created over 40 paintings for the new GPKs and Wacky Packages.
Wacky Pacakges are a series of trading cards featuring parodies of American consumer products. The cards were produced by the Topps Company beginning in 1967, usually in a sticker format, the cards spoofed well-known brands and packaging, such as “Crust” (instead of Crest) toothpaste, “Blisterine” (instead of Listerine), and “Neveready” batteries (for Eveready Industries batteries).
Now at the Harold Golen Gallery is your rare opportunity to own an original Garbage Pail Kids and or Wacky Packages painting by luis Diaz in his one man show, that is not to be missed !

Money Makes Art opening at Artformz Alternative 11/14/09
Join the Artists Saturday, November 14th 7-10pm
at 171 NW 23rd Street, Wynwood Arts District
and a special event “Money/Art/Opinion†with
Award-winning journalist and art critic Elisa Turner
Artformz’s winter group show addresses the current global concern for “moneyâ€. How money, the abundance of it, or the utter lack of it, affects everyone’s lives is the topic of conversation everywhere. The outcome has been decidedly personal with each artist coming up with decidedly different work in each of their own styles, yet all reflect the current focus on currency. Everywhere there seems a conversation of sales, consumption, need, the economy, the paycheck, the job, retirement, bills, mortgages, college funds, layoffs, and studio rent. The dilemma is more relevant now as artists tiptoe through this recession. While we listen to the hype and propaganda on how everything is getting better, the work struggles to get made and each artist finds there own creative way to survive. Money certainly does facilitate making art, but at the same time, the lack of an abundance of money in the wrong hands, may just possibly make better art.

Miriam Fernandes, “I chose to launch my opening with Rick Garcia and Pop Art because we are in Miami; the colors and relationships are so close at heart.†And after a recent trip to Europe, Pop-Art’s bright colors, geometric forms and recognizable images from everyday life, remains a relevant international style which continues to be reinvented. This exhibition will be carried through December 1st, 2009.

On December 5th, MIRIAM FERNANDES Gallery will a host an opening reception in celebration of Art Basel Miami Beach titled, Art Basel is in the air & Art Brazil is here. As a native of Brazil, Miriam Fernandes is proud of the world-wide recognition and achievement of Brazilian artists, “Brazilian Art has come a long way from the famous street graffiti that first captured the attention of top art advocates world-wideâ€. During this art season, MIRIAM FERNANDES Gallery will feature a special tribute to the free-spirited and uniquely diverse culture of Brazil through beautiful works of art from top Brazilian artists.
Art Brazil will also integrate accomplished American artists as an interpretation of the American embrace of the Brazilian culture. The objective will be to compare the impressionist colors of the abstract geometric display from Brazilian, Goncalo Ivo compared to the abstract nature expressionist of American, Charles DuBack. Alongside, Brazilian, Dina de Oliveira’s subtle chromatic abstraction with a light touch of mysticism translated from her Amazon roots will be compared to the extraordinary realist landscapes of American, Don McClain and Brazilian Aldemir Martins.
Lecture and Discussion by Art Educator, Edwin Stirman, will start the evening off at 6:00 p.m. Stirman will share an intellectual awareness to the history of Brazilian Art, “From the Streets to the Museums.â€
January 9th Opening Reception, Charles DuBack, Translation of Nature. 6:00 – 9:00 p.m.
RSVP: rsvp@miriamfernandes.com
January will launch the prized work of New England artist, Charles DuBack, from his series, Nature Translation. Charles DuBack (b.1926) first visited Maine from New York City in the mid-1950s; a seminal period when New York post-war modernism arrived in Maine.
Coming to Maine in the mid-1950s provided a turning point in Charlie DuBack’s artistic career. Like many New York artists, DuBack originally planned to spend a summer at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture but eventually established a life-long love of the Maine landscape.
A devoted modernist inspired by the earlier paintings of Picasso and Matisse, DuBack was equally involved in the emerging Color Field and Pop Art movements of the day. The critical acclaim for these early works later translated into love of patchwork colors and bright brushwork in watercolors.
With a minimum of bravura brush strokes, DuBack deftly describes fir trees, sunlight glinting on water, or the rising and the setting sun. DuBack, who had shared a New York studio with sculptor Bernard Langlais and painter Alex Katz in the 1950s, was part of a group of artists who all settled in mid-coast Maine as summer residents.
Over the years, DuBack, developed an especially intimate knowledge of the Maine woodlands. With an eye for defining color and shape, he translates that visual vocabulary into works that convey the vibrancy and animation of nature. DuBack’s recognition amongst his contemporaries reflects his years of experience and great potential. Charles DuBack’s Nature Translation will be carried through January 30th, 2010, exhibiting works from 1952 to 2008.

acrylic on canvas
44″ x 28″ each
Fredric Snitzer Gallery is proud to present Michael Vasquez in his second solo exhibition titled How the Land Lies. In his first solo exhibition, Family Jewels, Vasquez presented a personal portrait of himself in a single parent upbringing, complemented by the adoption of friends and social personalities that seemed to replace a missing father figure.
How the Land Lies illustrates a geographical portrait of suburban locations and symbolic traits carried by members of a neighborhood gang. An earned and received red bandana in The Acceptance is weighted with the ideology of membership and loyalty. Michael Vasquez reflects on what it means to be connected to an organization that survives on taking pride in being territorial, controlling and intimidating. How to Stand for Something and The Fence Line accentuate personal and territorial delimitations with a signature stance and graffiti marks. How the Land Lies describes the influences of locality in a social setting and the inherited recognition of a belief system.
Michael Vasquez was born in 1983 in St. Petersburg FL. His work has been exhibited at The Museum of Contemporary Art; North Miami, FL, Mobile Museum of Ar; Mobile, AL, Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art; Kansas City, MO and Locust Projects, Miami, FL. Vasquez currently lives and works in Miami, FL

The Bakehouse Art Complex presents its programming lineup for Art Basel 2009
The BAC’s 33,000 square foot facility will be transform itself into bÄc:23 from December 3-6 2009 to coincide with Art Basel and it’s various satellite fairs. The name bÄc:23 is derived from the number of years the Bakehouse Art Complex has had it roots in the Wynwood Arts District and has been serving the community as the premiere institution for the visual arts in Miami. Now in its 23rd year, the BAC is at capacity with Miami’s hottest artists.
bÄc:23 features the artwork and studios of over 70 local Miami artists. Guests are encouraged to visit the studios & speak with the resident artists.

In addition to the 70 artist studios, the Bakehouse Art Complex also houses 2 separate exhibition galleries. In its 2,600 square foot Main Gallery, BAC artists confront the idea of the overwhelming sensory qualities of Art Basel in Sensory Overload. Based on the traditional five senses, touch hear, see, smell, and taste, BAC artists cross and blend these senses together to create an experience of a sequence of synesthetic encounters, attacking one sense and at the same time evoking another.
The BAC presents a small works exhibition 5X7 in its Swenson Gallery. All of the work measures 5X7 or 7X5. The show will consist of a variety of media, from painting, drawing, sculpture, fiber art and on. There is sure to be something to please every aesthetic. Patrons are encouraged to purchase these small, unique works of art at $100.00 each. When a guest purchases a piece from this exhibition, a photo will be taken of them and their new purchase. The picture will then be hung on the wall in place of the piece, thus becoming part of the exhibition.

With the return to the Wynwood Art District for the second year, ART ASIA Miami (December 2-6, 2009) is pleased to announce its continuing commitment to supporting educational programs and has appointed independent curator Leeza Ahmady to launch an entirely new curatorial platform. The landmark exhibition titled TRULY TRUTHFUL showcases internationally recognized artists whose works contest categorical presentations of truth and reality in the world. The exhibition presents some of the best artists working both inside and outside of Asia; they challenge presentations of truth as superlative, established, rigid, objective, and specifc.
Using clever methods such as: documentary footage, staged events, real and fctive characters, renewal of age-old crafts, and construction of new myths in a variety of media (painting, installation, video, photography and sculpture) the artists in TRULY TRUTHFUL engage viewers to ponder established notions about Asian contemporary art, and other so called truths in relationship to aesthetics, consumerism, colonialism, societal stagnations, individual and collective inertia, and human consciousness.
Born in Afghanistan and raised in New York, Ahmady is an independent art curator, educator, and noted specialist in art from Central Asia. As the Director of Asian Contemporary Art Week (ACAW) at Asia Society, Ahmady is instrumental in organizing the annual citywide event that involves leading New York City galleries and museums to participate in special exhibitions, receptions, lectures, and performances.
The artists in TRULY TRUTHFUL are selected through nominations by experts in the feld including some of the members of the Asian Contemporary Art Consortium, (ACAC). A fnal announcement of participating artists will be made by end of October.
In addition, ART ASIA will continue its flm series by presenting the newest flm from Yi Zhou titled THE EAR. THE EAR features Pharrell Wiliams with music by Ennio Morricone, and costumes designed by Rick Owens and BBC Ice Cream. Inspired by Nikolai Gogol’s satirical short story The Nose, THE EAR features an EarBridge that is part of a public proposal for Baku, Azerbaijan. Zhou is a young Chinese artist who has lived in Rome from the age of ten and is now residing between Paris and Hong Kong. Zhou creates multimedia installation artworks that blend flm, digital animation, photography, sculpture, painting, drawing and contemporary music.
ART ASIA’s move to its new location at the renowned SOHO STUDIOS WYNWOOD CONVENTION CENTER located at 2136 NW 1st Avenue, between 21st street and 1st Avenue, will provide galleries with maximum exposure to an extensive array of international visitors, such as collectors, curators , gallerists, artists, and the general public. Home to leading galleries, museums, studios and alternative spaces, Wynwood is a marketing hub for art enthusiasts around the world in December.
Co-founder of ART ASIA, Jeffrey Lawson says, “We are extremely excited to return to Miami and have invested heavily in all aspects of ART ASIA to ensure its continued success as the premier fair dedicated to Asian contemporary art with the highest quality curatorial programming.†In 2008, the inaugural event drew over 30,000 visitors including collectors, art advisory frms, museum groups, and media sources. The Preview Night Party at the Mandarin Oriental attracted over 1,200 VIP clients and journalists, setting the tone for its successful fve day run. Building on last year’s overwhelming success, ART ASIA Miami 2009 will reach new heights with enhanced curatorial and educational programming.

Clemencia Labin Paula Otegui at Diana Lowenstein Fine Arts Opening 10/31/09
Clemencia Labin | Doping Pulpa
Paula Otegui | Metaforas de la naturaleza
at Diana Lowenstein Fine Arts
October 31 – November 25, 2009
Diana Lowenstein Fine Arts is pleased to announce the solo exhibitions of Clemencia Labin and Paula Otegui. The opening reception will take place on October 31st from 7:30-10pm. This event is free and open to the public. Exhibitions will be on view through November 25th, 2009.
CLEMENCIA LABIN – Doping Pulpa
The art that Clemencia Labin has been working on for the past few years is brimming with moisture, fragrance and colour. It oozes tropical splendour and also winks playfully at creatures of the far-off, imaginary land of childhood: cuddly toys. The fabrics chosen by Labin in her work, cloths of all kinds with soft filling, are the same as those used for teddy bears. This element of tenderness which is connected to all things soft, snug and spongy, gives her work a warmth quite rare in the cynical, disbelieving world of contemporary art, so used to exploiting the darker, seedier side of culture.
Labin´s work not only strikes a note of tenderness, but also of fun, evident in titles such as Pulpa Chic and Doping Pulpa. Her art exudes a sense of ease and a healthy attitude of not taking itself too seriously, while simultaneously providing an in depth study, full of sensuality, tenderness and respect, working the materials with such expertise that her creations become surprising objects, in the purest sense of the word.
Her sense of fun is fully apparent in her creations, which constantly challenge formats and concepts. Are they wall sculptures or paintings with a three-dimensional element? Are they cuddly toys or are they to be admired forever on the wall of a gallery or museum?
Much is said about the influence of Pop Art in Clemencia´s work, but that is somewhat questionable. Labin´s work makes use of the ease, the humour and the colouring associated with Pop Art, but differs from it in that it is free of the inherent cynicism connected to that movement.
This exhibition takes place in an architectural space which is an elongated prism in shape for which Labin has designed an all-encompassing show: in other words, she uses the space as an interior designer or an architect would. She does not merely “hang†or position her pieces, but plans out meticulously how she is going to use the whole space.
Originally from Venezuela, Clemencia Labin studied at Columbia University and currently lives and works in Hamburg, Germany.
Project Room
PAULA OTEGUI – Metaforas de la naturaleza
Paula Otegui was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where she studied at the Escuela Superior Ernesto de la Cárcova, Instituto Universitario Nacional de Arte, as well as the Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes Prilidiano Pueyrredón. Her work has been exhibited internationally since 1995. She is the recipient of numerous awards and distinctions. Her intricately detailed paintings depicting a natural, yet fantastical world, are featured in the Project Room. As mirrored in her work, Otegui believes the world can be a complex sum, sometimes pathetic. The essential exists in the interactions. Everything occurs simultaneously, while the effects are infinite.

Carlos Betancourt at Diana Lowenstein Fine Arts 12/5/09
Infinitus, 2009 c-print, 81 x 72 in.
Artist Carlos Betancourt most recent exhibit, LAPIDUS INFINITUS, will open at Diana Lowenstein Fine Arts in Wynwood, Miami, Florida, during Art Basel Miami Beach. A special celebration will take place Saturday, December 5th, 2009. The exhibition will be on view through February 6th, 2010.
Betancourt will also be part of the official Studio Visits program of Art Basel Miami Beach, Saturday, December 5th, 9AM to Noon. The artist’s most recent artworks will be exhibited as well at this year’s edition of Pulse Miami at The Ice Palace, Diana Lowenstein Fine Arts, Booth A101. Additionally, Betancourt’s Re-Collection series was selected to be reproduced as part of a limited edition collaboration with bathing suit designer Red Carter and Barney’s New York. A private fundraiser will take place at Barney’s of New York, Miami Beach store, Friday, December 4th, 2009.
Further details will be announced at a later date.
CARLOS BETANCOURT – LAPIDUS INFINITUS
In Betancourt’s most recent photographic artwork, the artist continues to assemble explosive compositions consisting of thousands of photographs of objects, people, flowers, and many other elements that occupy the superb glitzy realm of beauty for which he is known. The images appear in their full kitsch splendor, possessed by an enchanting light and seemingly crystallized by a magical sorcerer.
Betancourt, also recognized for his large scale flamboyant interventions, will also unveil one of his most challenging installation to date, a sprawling three-dimensional artwork of multiple column pedestals, each supporting an accumulation of auspicious objects to be worshipped. A symmetrical assembly creates spaces for interaction within this fantastical world. As with the photographic compositions, this large-scale installation titled PORTRAIT OF A GARDEN, iconize Pop and common objects the artist has gifted with a unique sense of dignity. He has empowered the towering of elements and its base by presenting them primarily in his signature blue, being this “the color evil cannot cross” (*). This installation is in collaboration with architect and artist Alberto Latorre.
*( as quoted by Robert Farris Thompson, dean of the History of Art Department, Yale University, in an essay about the artist).

Wynwood Central Gallery opens featuring artist Kito Mbiango
Thursday, October 29th, 2009
Kito Mbiango. ‘L’Orange Elegans’ 2008. Mixed Media on Canvas
Opening reception: Thursday, October 29th, 2009. 6:00 p.m.
Location: Wynwood Central Gallery. 2242 NW 1st Place. Miami, FL 33137
Admission: Free
Wynwood Central Gallery (in the heart of the Wynwood Arts & Design District in Miami) officially opens its doors to the public on the evening of October 29th, 2009 presenting a solo exhibition of emerging artist Kito Mbiango. A calm, but visually stimulating atmosphere is made possible by the works of Mbiango and the philosophy of providing a stirring, inviting experience for the viewer is assured by owner Gilles Dandrieux and gallery director Shana Beth Mason.
Mbiango draws from his wide-ranging travels and photographic experience in producing works that excite the imagination by crossing and blurring cultural borders between Eastern and Western spheres of influence. Elements of post-colonial commentary (initiated via found 18th and 19th Century engravings in the style of John James Audubon, J. Barralet, and James Fittler) and modern cultural references (through the use of turn-of-the-century photography and silkscreens) converge in a rich, complex layering of color and graphic embellishment. Above all, however, Mbiango’s more pressing concern is the unity of both artistic and human ingredients: the integration of Eastern and Western influences seeks to peacefully reconcile the inherent cultural differences so ubiquitous in postmodern society. Overall, the goal for Mbiango is to gather both art and its viewer into one stunning, deeply spiritual achievement.
Kito Mbiango was born in Brussels in 1966. He is completely self-taught in his technique and utilizes multiple production methods including image transfer and mixed media assemblage all applied meticulously by hand. His paintings have been featured in public and private collections in the US and Europe and have been featured in publications such as Town & Country Magazine and Architectural Design. Non-profit groups, including UNICEF and Voices United, have also featured Mbiango’s work. He spends his time between Brussels and Miami with his wife and two children.
Wynwood Central Gallery is open to the public on Monday through Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays by appointment only.

The Other Hollywood A 1972 Halloween Event at The Awarehouse 10/31/09
This Halloween, Supermarket Creative and Gen Art reel back an 8mm roll of decadent nostalgia. No rest for the wicked or the camera shy in “THE OTHER HOLLYWOOD…Where 1972†is resurrected in the name of disco and how America turned blue.
When Smut had Strut; Chick-a-wa-wa.
And… Action
A collaborative effort by Missoni Home, American Apparel, Nue Studio & Jessica Bosch of Ford Artists, be prepared to get a spoonful of sleaze and glamor. Enjoy a sneak peak of the making behind “The Old Hollywood…1972″ with decor and styling reminiscent of a vintage XXX movie set. Miami performer, Jose El Rey plays Dirk the Director & Brittany Norris as Luscious Linda. Guest actors (you!) will enjoy the clips…the morning after.
The Players
Son of Sound + Drrty Haze
Like-minded DJs Henry Maldonado (Son of Sound/Speak Recordings), Doug Gomez (Drrtyhaze) pay tribute to this era with Play It Loud/Speak Recordings. “Play it Loud! is an event that celebrates New York club and art culture during its golden-area run in the 70d late 80’s. While there is certainly no shortage of disco and post-disco nostalgia-fueled gatherings these days, Gomez, Maldonado come together to help reinforce the musical integrity and vibe of disco.â€
Jose El Ray
“Old-school bros, roller rink queens, Wynwood hipstersthey all worship at the altar of this ladies’-man shaman. Seriously – so many girls jump onstage to shake their shit that El Rey’s trusty security sidekick, El Tigre, often has to lay the smack down, for real. The king has scored shout-outs from Perez Hilton and a recent full-page interview in Maxim en Español, as well as an appearance (as part of the Miami Bass Warriors group) at the holy grail of local Latin culture: the Calle Ocho Festival. Jose El Rey loves Miami, and Miami loves him right back.†– New Times
Afrobeta
“With their infectious rhythms and dance-a-licious beats, Afrobeta’s songs are classic yet modern, borderline underground yet so Billboard chart-friendly. Cristina “Cuci Amador†Garcia pop sensibility resonates throught a blend of bilingual proficiencies that even Shakira might covet, while Tony “Smurphio†Laurencio burns holes through his Moog keyboards with funky fire. It wouldn’t be surprised to find Afrobeta writing songs for Madonna or even M.I.A. But for now, Miami is lucky to have the duo performing on a regular basis; the two are a match made in disco-house heaven.†New times. Miami Best Local songwriters 2008.
Stian Roenning
Audio Visual Director, “A Norwegian who digs badass friends, kickass music, photography, painting, rocking out, traveling, eating, skateboarding, snowboarding, surfing, Churchills on mondays and a hell of a good beer in the shade in Miami.â€
Jessica Bosch
Ford Artists, wardrobe stylist. “I’ll give you television, baby.â€

Satellite Art + Design Exhibition 12/3-6/09
Event Visions Consulting in association with Dieko’s Galleries & The Arts in Action Company Presents: SATELLITE Art & Design Exhibition at MAS-Miami Art Space DECEMBER 3 – 6, 2009
The December 2009 SATELLITE Art + Design Exhibition at Miami Art Space marks the launch of a global art initiative to showcase artists of all mediums and well-known and emerging designers from all over the world through innovative exhibitions & sophisticated receptions.
The overall theme for SATELLITE is Organica: A Celebration of the Human Body and Nature in Art and Design.
In addition to the inclusion of works by artists from the USA, Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, Greece, Italy, Spain and Slovenia, SATELLITE will also feature a curated exhibition by Reed V. Horth & Paul Fisher. Works will include
world-renowned modern and contemporary artists, sculptors, visual and glass artists such as the great Salvador Dali, Diego Rivera and Bruce Helander, among others. Independent filmmakers will be filming scenes for the movie
“Pop goes the Easel†based on Andy Warhol and Peter Max in the 80’s.
Viktorija Bulava (Latvian, b. 1978)
Adroitly rendered human figures frame the golden inner workings of a Grand Piano. Gently contorted bodies eschew gravitational limits in a luscious dance of rhythm and grace. The beautifully executed musculature dares the viewer to compare a more perfect form. Surrounding architecture and the piano’s surface are adorned with gold and silver leafing. It shimmers with the adjoining lush reds, sapphire blues and always the masterfully realized colors of sensuous flesh tones.
Viktorija (pronounced “Victoriaâ€) Bulava approaches her work with many highly acclaimed academic accomplishments. They include a Master of Art Science Degree from the Latvian Academy of Arts in 1996 as well as several prestigious international awards and scholarship grants. The artist’s home is Riga, Latvia. It is a city renown for its rich heritage of great painters and sculptors throughout the centuries. Riga is also home to the finest collection of art nouveau buildings in Europe. That influence is decidedly apparent in many of Viktorija Bulava’s works.
Bulava renders her mixed media canvases with precise draftsmanship and at times a liberal incorporation of varying surface treatments. Her techniques are complex and refined. Often in her imagery she marries the classical rules of good composition with modern, nearly kinetic, background styles. Other works are augmented with a buildup of plaster-like areas, which are then hand etched or incised with flowing patterns producing a brightly colored cloisonné effect. Viktorija Bulava is a painter of beautifully aesthetic renderings. Her work exemplifies the gifted talent of civilizations most masterful artists.

A.P. casts of the 78 x 77 x 43 cm edition are part of the permanent collections of the Spurlock Museum (Illinois, USA) and of the Memorial Art Gallery (New York, USA).
In mythology, charitable half-god who comes from the depths of the sea, on occasions he is also bloodthirsty. According to the legend, Triton used to appear above the waters to calm the waves and lull the storms.
Did Triton ever emerge from the deep waters at Cape Creus? Did Dali ever see him all powerful conquering the forces of nature? This thought comes to our mind when we see how many drawings are conserved in which the painter, with raised hand, drew various silhouettes of Neptune’s son.

Certification: Original publisher certificate
Provenance: Salvador Dali to original publisher to present owner.
Woman Aflame: Fire is a constant theme in the oeuvre of Salvador Dali†reminiscences of grilled sardines on a rosemary fire accompanied by a thimble of muscatel in the coves of the Cap de Creus and the summer fires that burned the olive groves and the oaks of the hills of Cadaques. The flames of these fires were engraved in his memory. In the thirties, a small brushstroke sufficed to inflame these figures furnished with drawers, pianos, trombones, cypresses, and a desert with flaming giraffes or elephants or rhinoceroses. The same flames and sparks that illuminate the night of March19- the Fallas of Valencia. The graceful sculpture Woman Aflame illustrates this unexpected application of flames to a human body supported by a crutch, provided with nine, half-opened drawers whose contents are filled with mystery. – Robert & Nicolas Descharnes, “Le Dur et le Mouâ€, pg. 255.

Fountain Art Fair Miami 2009 12/3-6/09
Fountain is an exhibition of avant garde artwork in New York during Armory week and Miami during Art Basel Miami Beach. Fountain lives outside the traditional art fair model and provides galleries and art dealers the opportunity to showcase fresh works in spacious venues.
Fountain MIAMI 2009 – 2505 North Miami Ave Miami FL 33137
Telephone: 917.650.3760

Fountain Miami announces partnership with tastemaker and cultural icon Flavorpill. This accord introduces a network of media services to the cutting-edge exhibition for independent art galleries during the Art Basel Miami Beach weekend.
Fountain Miami’s 16,000 square foot warehouse and four day art exhibition will present a reception for the artists on Friday, Dec 4 followed by evening of live performances Saturday, Dec 5 – both of which will be hosted by Flavorpill. Along with Hedley’s Shipping as a returning Presenting Sponsor, Fountain is now set to present the largest exhibition since its inception four years ago.
â€Flavorpill brings to Fountain Miami a media presence that provides independent galleries unparalleled exposure during the Art Basel weekend,†stated Fountain organizer John Leo. “We are thrilled with the benefits provided by this dynamic partnership. Strong media alliances such as this promise to introduce a new audience to Fountain. We believe it is a tremendous opportunity for our galleries. Ultimately this is a win-win situation for the independent gallery and art curator.â€
Fountain Miami 2009 is building steam as a must see event for Art Basel Miami Beach this December. Already known for presenting cutting-edge and independent art galleries, this year’s Fountain will be no different as exhibition producers have secured the same venue as last year. Fountain has also established a partnership with Headley’s Shipping to provide a gracious donation of shipping for participating galleries to and from the event. This show, our fourth in Miami, will prove to be the largest event yet.
Video Producer Morgan Riles releases her video compilation of the Fountain New York 2009 and can be viewed at the bottom of this release. Exhibition areas are still available for Miami and interested parties should contact us at once. Here is the press kit for Fountain – Fountain Press Kit Highlights and the Fountain Miami application – Fountain Application.
Located at 2505 North Miami Ave at the corner of 25th st, Fountain will run from December 3 – 6 concurrent with Art Basel, Pulse, Aqua, Scope and other important art fairs. Fountain is a guerrilla-style art event, dubbed by many as the “Anti Art Fair†for its brash, off-the-wall offerings of non-traditional art exhibitions in the art fair environment.
Fountain’s venue, a 16,000 square-foot complex with both interior and exterior exhibition areas, is adjacent to all the major Miami exhibitions. Exhibiting galleries occupy approximately 500 – 1500 square feet of exhibition space each, so visitors can expect massive installations of contemporary painting, sculpture, performance and new media art.
Verge Art Fair Miami 2009 12/3-6/09
Verge Art Fair Miami 2009
Formerly Bridge
Verge is an international platform for the most exciting and interesting in new and emerging art. Verge exists to establish boundaries of the extraordinary as a counter to the natural compulsion towards stagnation in the way art is evaluated and delivered to the public. Staying true to this necessary state for the advancement of art requires a sustained focus on the best new ideas and practices of those marginal or newly emerging to international art audiences. The satisfaction of this fixed requirement for a healthy and competitive artistic culture is at the core of Verge as an international exposition of the highest quality artistic production and the galleries, museums and audiences who sustain it.
Presenting an exclusive total of 30 exhibitors this year in Miami.
Michael Workman is retooling the Bridge Art Fair into the leaner, meaner Verge, which (like Bridge) will focus exclusively on emerging art. (Verge, you may recall, was also the name given to a section of artist-run spaces housed within Bridge). Verge will launch this year in Miami to coincide with Art Basel, December 3-6, 2009. Now, applicants to Verge will be selected by a top-notch curatorial team including Dan Cameron and James Yood — a process that, in an interview with Artnet last week, Workman likened to that of a biennale.

POCKET OF LOLLIPOPS
Performance from 6-8:30pm
From www.pocketoflollipops.com: “The musical performance is a range from an indefinite mix of culture and technology. We have evolved a limitless sensation to stimulate various compression and transverse physical properties to produce a sense of intensity, which causes a direction of auditory art.” read the NBC Miami review
Bahar Bahebanani Screening of “Saffron Tea”
Catalina Hotel roof installation
“Saffron Tea” is about a person who is witnessing and reviewing her life. She is placed in an extraordinary situation and as an audience we are not able to say if she is comfortable in her condition or if she is suffering. The film constantly flows between her past and her present; from reality to dreams. It shows the stretched moments of the afternoons past with a slow tempo and nostalgia that crescendo into the lonely present.

Aqua Art Miami 2009 12/3-6/09
Aqua Art Miami is a contemporary art fair that takes place in Miami concurrent with Art Basel Miami Beach. Aqua started in 2005 as an experimental project at the Aqua Hotel in South Beach near Art Basel, and eventually expanded to include a larger booth-style fair called Aqua Wynwood.
This year the fair will focus on just the Aqua Wynwood location, consolidating the best of both fairs into one exceptional event. Aqua Wynwood opens with a VIP Preview Brunch on Thursday morning, December 3, and the exhibition continues through Sunday, December 6.
art fair Art Basel Miami Beach. The fair is located in a warehouse in the heart of Miami’s gallery district, just a few blocks from the Rubell Collection and near other important venues such as the Margulies Collection, the MOCA Goldman Warehouse and many of the largest satellite fairs. With a clever floor plan and permanent 10 to 12 foot museum quality walls, Aqua Wynwood is widely regarded as the most beautiful and most art-friendly exhibition space in Miami during Art Basel week.
This year Aqua Wynwood will again feature approximately 50 exhibitors in an intimate booth-style setting. Aqua leases the warehouse year-round, allowing exhibitors and their artists plenty of time to create special installations and other projects which are difficult in temporary spaces. Aqua Wynwood also features a breezy open air lounge with food and entertainment.
Aqua is pleased to be featuring Gen Art Vanguard this year at Aqua Wynwood. Gen Art debuted its Vanguard fair in Miami last year during Art Basel week, bringing together the top galleries, artists, and individuals who are defining the New Contemporary art movements. From Pop Surrealism and New Brow to Urban Contemporary, Vanguard aims to advance the dialogue about these emerging contemporary art movements and their cultural context within the art world.

O.H.W.O.W. presents Neck Face Devil’s Disciple Exibitions and Haunted House 10/31/09
O.H.W.O.W. presents Neck Face | Devil’s Disciple
with Exibitions and Haunted House by Neck Face | Skate Demo by Baker and the Death Wish Team | After Party at POPLIFE with Busy P and special guests

O.H.W.O.W. presents NECK FACE: DEVIL’S DISCIPLE
Neckface will turn Miami inside out for his premiere solo exhibition in the Magic City. This Halloween night, Neckface will deconstruct all 10,000 square feet of O.H.W.O.W. and build a world like no other. Featuring a large-scale haunted house installation, complete with Neckface’s iconic imagery, the Devil’s Disciple exhibition is designed to frighten viewers as they enter the space.
The crux of the exhibition though will surely be Neckface’s new work. A deviation from the norm, it is chock-full of his signature imagery interweaved with a personal dimension that is much more palpable in the paintings. After so many years of crafting a persona and building up walls around himself and his moniker, the reclusive Neckface has finally cracked open the door ever so slightly and let us into his world.
With the introduction of historical and pop culture references into the visual storytelling, the paintings have grown more complex and more intricate. This newer imagery is balanced by considered application of wit throughout the work in the signature Neckface hand style. In addition to the paintings, a series of metal mask sculptures will be on display. Reminiscent of African Woyo masks, Neckface reworks the sculptures with sharp edges and creates an object that is distinctly contemporary and unmistakably his.
There’s no doubt that Devil’s Disciple will be a breakout exhibition for Neckface. The work created will surely be considered his finest to date and is anticipated to redefine him and endear him to a whole new legion of fans.
EXIBITION – Opening Reception
8 PM – Midnight
The enigmatic artist has transformed the entire space into his personal playground and has allowed us a glimpse into his twisted mind. His sharp wit and signature drawing style are on full display. Neck Face has hit his stride with Devil’s Disciple and it’s clear that he’s fully grasped where his aesthetic can go and how to best tell his personal story through it. After so many years of crafting a persona and building up walls around himself and his monicker. Neck Face has finally cracked open the door ever so slightly and let us in.
HAUNTED HOUSE – Parental Advisory: Explicit Content
8 PM – Midnight
Come ready to face your worst nightmares as Neck Face imports his family’s collection of haunted house props for the original experience. Over twenty years worth of Halloween collectibles are assembled on site with a full staff scaring the life out of visitors.
Anyone with a heart condition or a weak stomach is recommended not to attend. We will not be liable from injuries resulting from chainsaws or flying axes.
SKATE DEMO – Baker and Deathwish Team
8 PM – Midnight
Widely regarded as the best skate team in the US, Andrew Reynolds brings his BAKER and DEATHWISH squad to O.H.W.O.W. to put on a skate demo throughout the evening. A custom built ramp is on site and the whole team will be attacking it throughout the exhibition.
Neck Face has deep roots in the skating community and tours with the teams from time to time when on hiatus from his work. The team is coming in from all parts of the country to support his Devil’s Deciple exhibition and they are all ready to put on a show from everyone lucky enough to be present.

CECILIA PAREDES | Fugitive Dreams
Paredes combines origin, nature and femininity to create a beautifully subtle blend of visual aesthetics, self-introspection and representation. Her artwork is created through the lens of past and present life experiences, integrated with cultural, poetic and environmental influences. Her immersion in a variety of cultures gives her a nomadic perspective that informs her work. Her itinerant existence is reflected in her art as she wanders, and metaphorically portrays her many selves. Paredes explores exactly where she fits in with the natural world. In more recent photo-performance works, she shifts her focus to feelings about migration and displacement.
Paredes’ work recognizes the inherent relationship between the origins of humanity and the natural world. While methods and aesthetics have changed, she addresses the same range of issues from origin, to migration, to femininity. Her balance between traditional artistic methods and the incorporation of natural elements creates a genuinely beautiful fusion and contrast between art and nature – where her art always insinuates itself. As much as these images and objects are viewed in public, they retain a sense of privacy or ritualistic secrecy. In the process of creating and interpreting, the artist seeks a poetic connection to the world. And the art produced through her investigations creates a window into a reality where she expertly delivers a simultaneous sense of enchantment and verisimilitude.
An Animal in Her Time, Ruth Miller and Mark Jew.
Project Room
CHRIS NATROP | Dewdrop Cloud Machine
Natrop employs transparent plastics, video projection and multi-channel audio alongside intricate, hand-cut paper to create fully immersive environments within gallery and museum spaces. Viewers are encouraged to enter these installations to experience the realm where elements of light, shadow and form coalesce into a fully unified world. Most individual components are hand-cut in the studio, then custom-arranged for a particular space. For works on paper, each piece is spontaneously created without the use of patterns or pre-drawing – this stream-of-consciousness approach is the crux of the artist’s practice.
Graphic silhouettes emerge from meditative-channeling activated by the repetitive practice of cutting paper. Natrop works on sheets of Lenox 100 paper stretched out on his studio wall. Wielding a standard utility knife, he spontaneously cuts away creating a hybrid of landscape imagery. Natrop’s free-form “knife drawing” process reveals negative space by removing emptiness in-between forms. Often an amalgam of things previously observed, the graphic nature becomes a freeze-frame of Natrop’s own surroundings revealing his particular sense of place. In many cases one feature will be multiplied, resulting in a dense layering of a single element. A multiplicity of water droplets, crawling vines or cracks in the pavement may be rendered and reworked within each installation. Emotional forces further contextualize the work within this structure: anticipation, apprehension, disorientation or joyfulness often encapsulate the work’s inherently myopic narrative. This fusion between internal, emotional space and external, physical landscape is the framework for much of Natrop’s practice.

DIENZO
Rick “Dienzo” Blanco is a Los Angeles area artist whose collection of dark little characters are meant to intrigue, entice and perhaps cause a bit of anxiety. His experience in commercial art as an award-winning designer spans over 15 years. His most recent style is greatly influenced by his work for Disney, Mattel and most recently, Cartoon Network. In creating his art, Dienzo sees the technical aspect as, “taking the world of cartoon like characters and rendering them in the traditional medium of acrylic on canvas. From a content perspective, it’s drawing from the influence of pop-culture elements and experiences as a kid like watching The Munsters and The Addams Family or visiting the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland.
VALERY MILOVIC
Vallery’s inspiration for her paintings come from human frailties and death (things we all have in common), also vintage celluloid, tin and plush toys, cartoons, comics, old black and white photographs and skulls. Patch work bunnies and rag dolls, usually smoking, drinking or both ,are the reoccurring characters that tell her story of loneliness and feeling like an outcast , which she identifies with greatly. Broken Toyland , inspired by the book ‘The Velveteen Rabbit’, (she highly recommends reading if you haven’t yet), is the name of the world these endearing characters live, with patters, drips scrapes, layers and whatever else, sets the atmosphere for her charming and wonderful acrylic on canvas paintings.

Admission: Free
“Let me hear no more of that absurd maxim: ‘We need the new, we need to follow our century, everything changes, everything is changed.’ Sophistry- all of that! Does nature change, do the light and air change, have the passions of the human heart changed since the time of Homer? ‘We must follow our century’: but suppose my century is wrong? Because my neighbor does evil, am I therefore obligated to do it also? Because virtue, as also beauty, can be misunderstood by you, have I in turn got to misunderstand it? Shall I be compelled to imitate you!â€
Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, c.1834
Charest-Weinberg Gallery presents the first Miami exhibition of artists Davis / Langlois, Into The Void: The Ballad of The Martyr as Told by Ingres, taking place October 7th through November 21st, 2009. This exhibition will showcase work fresh from their exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago (September 5th – 28th, 2009), as well as new pieces made specifically for their Miami debut. An opening reception will be held on Wednesday, October 7th from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m.
Davis / Langlois conceived Into the Void as a meta-fable narrated by a resurrected Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres. The story features Iman, a 15-year-old Palestinian-American, as she contemplates the plight of Suquamish leader Chief Seattle, who is forced to relinquish his sacred land to the tune of Black Sabbath and the howls of Soundgarden. In her quest for honor, Iman finds herself hanging on to every prophetic line. Through the tradition of martyrdom in Baroque and Neo-Classical painting, Davis / Langlois explore contemporary notions of assimilation, empire, xenophobia and environmentalism. The exhibition invokes the question ‘what is honor, and what is honorable? What price does one pay for steadfast commitment and profound devotion?’
Rob Davis and Mike Langlois have been artistic collaborators since 1997 after meeting at the School of the Art Institute in Chicago. Redefining the conventional notion that paintings are made by a single artist or hand, each takes an equal role in developing ideas, choosing subjects and executing the works.
Known for their contemporary representational paintings, the duo constructs narratives, each painting acting as part of a larger story and by their proximity, forcing viewers to make a conceptual jump from image to image. With a vocabulary derived from popular culture and subcultures, the artists are committed to applying classical techniques to contemporary art. Their seemingly dissimilar installations center on themes ranging from desire, family, identity, martyrdom, utopia and politics.

Natalya Laskis : Opening at Fredric Snitzer Gallery 10/10/09
Natalya Laskis American Odyssey Opening Reception
Saturday October 10th, 7:00 – 9:00pm
Fredric Snitzer Gallery, 2247 NW 1st PL, Miami, FL 33127
305.448.8976, www.snitzer.com
Fredric Snitzer Gallery is pleased to present the first solo exhibition by Miami artist Natalya Laskis. American Odyssey is a reflection on research of the American psyche, which the artist explores in a historical fashion.
Natalya Laskis has discovered a legacy of risk inherit to the American culture. Simple pleasures peppered with ever-present danger have always existed. Like Ulysses, one must dare to take that first step into the unknown in-order to experience adventure along the way. Facing the temptation of sirens, the potential for drowning, the perilous ness of modern day monsters, all for the sake of joy.
In this American Odyssey life’s simple pleasures are readily available to all, but commonly overlooked. The comfort of friendship, the warmth of a bonfire, the merriments of inebriation, and even the excitement of revelry are sometimes taken for granted.
Focusing on the energy with an aggressive approach to color, Natalya Laskis’s paintings are filled with simplicity. Her manipulation of perspective through the brush strokes carries the viewer into the gesture of the artist’s impulsiveness.
Natalya Laskis graduated from the Maryland Institute College of Art, Baltimore, Maryland and New World School of the Arts, Miami, Florida. Her work has been included in group shows at the Fredric Snitzer Gallery Miami, FL and The Fireplace Project, East Hampton, NY among other. ### For more information or images regarding this exhibition please contact 305.448.8976 or info@snitzer.com.

SCOPE Art Show Inaugurates Its First Curatorial Committee
SCOPE Miami Art Show, December 2-6, 2009 in the Wynwood Arts District, announces that independent critic and curator David Hunt has been appointed Curatorial Director. To even further it’s curatorial strength, SCOPE announces the following appointments to their newly established committee:
� Franklin Sirmans, Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, The Menil Collection, Houston, TX
� Naomi Beckwith, Assistant Curator, The Studio Museum in Harlem, New York
� Kate McNamara, Curatorial Assistant, PS1 / MOMA, New York
� Benjamin Godsill, Curatorial Associate, New Museum, New York
In their efforts to continue to strengthen the SCOPE brand, President Alexis Hubshman and Vice President Jeffrey Lawson have enlisted this curatorial committee to present museum quality offerings that reflect the most current themes in the contemporary art world. SCOPE is affording this younger generation of institutional curators the opportunity to present creative programming without the limitations that they may experience in their home institutions. Mr. Hunt explained, “SCOPE is in a unique position to offer these young curators as much decision making authority as they need or require or simply ask for. To that end, each curator will not be directly reporting to me, but to each other, lending an air of convivial transparency to every stage of the production process in order to increase the synergy between team mem- bers. In effect, we are granting absolute autonomy to an extremely talented and enterprising crew of art world profession- als whose sheer number of bold ideas simply outweigh the number of opportunities to present them. It’s a dynamic way to close the gap between traditional fair programming and that of museums. In short, we are bringing the quality of these museums directly into the SCOPE pavilion to make the fair more historically relevant than ever, but also providing these young curators with a wealth of new talent from across the globe to choose from in their future curatorial endeavors.â€
In over thirty fairs spanning the past eight years, SCOPE has solidified its position as the premier showcase for interna- tional emerging contemporary art, routinely hosting an impressive line-up of Alist galleries, blue chip institutional groups, and widely respected patrons whose unique collections reflect both a seriousness of purpose and a deep commitment to their personal visions. Moreover, SCOPE’s early advocacy of promising young artists has proved extremely prescient as those same artists later return to the fair after inclusion in culture-defining exhibitions such as the Whitney Biennial and Greater New York, consistently garnering accolades in prestigious critical journals including Art in America, Artforum, and Frieze magazines.
From the beginning, SCOPE’s core mission has always been the creation of a flexible and fluid platform for both artists and dealers alike, which shapes rather than responds to market demand. Given that the fair model continues to be the most comprehensive way to ensure that our patrons receive a “total survey†of contemporary art as it occurs in real time, the need for a focused, innovative curatorial team is more than self-evident. In fact, it’s absolutely necessary to ensure SCOPE’s continued dominance in an ever-more crowded field of fairs and collateral exhibitions. www.scope-art.com

Everyday Travails
Adler Guerrier
Everyday Travails
David Castillo Gallery
2234 NW 2nd Avenue, Miami
October 10- November 7, 2009
Reception October 10, 7-10 pm
David Castillo Gallery is proud to present Everyday Travails, Adler Guerrier’s first solo exhibition at the gallery and his first in Miami in over four years. The artist’s creative impulse is both intellectual and organic and is shown by his love of paper and its natural evolution into artwork and by his contemplative photography of the everyday. The current exhibition includes drawings, sculpture, photography, and video encapsulating the ideas of constant interest to the artist: place and the everyday.
The works reveal a structured imprint of the everyday, in the exploration of the relationship of media to the psycho-geographical, social, and political nature of place. Adler Guerrier sets drawing, collage, sculpture, photo, video, and installation in dialogue. His inspired cultural hybrid between color and plane are anchored by fearless, site-specific subversions of place and time in regards to conceptions of race, class, and culture. Often calling upon the districts of Miami and his own backyard, Guerrier examines the contemporary flaneur in an impending post-demographic age.
Adler Guerrier was born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti and lives and works in Miami. He studied at the New World School of the Arts in Miami and has exhibited widely including The Whitney Biennial 2008, the Wolfsonian Miami Beach, and Miami Art Museum. The artist has recently exhibited in VideoStudio at The Studio Museum in Harlem and Pivot Points 3 at Museum of Contemporary Art in North Miami and is in the permanent collection of both institutions. Upcoming exhibitions and projects include Afro-Modernism: Journeys through the Black Atlantic at the Tate Liverpool; commissioned works for Locust Projects Miami and a monograph to be published by Name Publications. Guerrier’s work has appeared in the New York Times, Artnews, and Art in America, among numerous other publications.

David Castillo Gallery Artist Talk: Leyden Rodriguez-Casanova 10/3/09
David Castillo Gallery Artist Talk: Leyden Rodriguez-Casanova, Saturday, October 3, 2009 3 pm SHARP!
David Castillo Presents
Artist Talk: Leyden Rodriguez- Casanova
You might sleep, but you will never dream
Please join us at David Castillo Gallery for an artist talk and walk-through of You might sleep, but you will never dream, Leyden Rodriguez-Casanova’s second solo exhibition with the gallery. The artist will begin at 3 pm sharp with a walk-through of the exhibition, which is to be followed by a brief question and answer session.
We look forward to seeing you on Saturday!
The artist uses a vocabulary of domestic objects and suburban architectural elements as a visual language, addressing our social, cultural and emotional existence. He uses material appropriations first introduced in post-minimal and conceptual art. Rodriguez-Casanova is presenting a series of objects that use a room as the point of departure for his concepts. All the objects are elements of a room which have been detached from their original context.
As the title of Damien Hirst’s work suggests, The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living, Rodriguez-Casanova is interested in understanding the loss of someone, including one’s self (and the “impossibility” of such). In the work An Open Door, 2008 commissioned for the Dennis and Debra Scholl Collection, the artist built an entirely new wall with a blackout doorway created by a black sheet of plexi. The opening becomes a metaphor for what lies beyond our existence. This same element exits in A Folded Bed, 2009 in which a portable folding bed is intersected by a large sheet of the same black plexi. The black plane once more is a metaphor for a void. In A Bedroom Floor, 2009 the artist has recreated the exact tile grid of his adolescent bedroom floor. A nod to Carl Andre, the work uses its own detachment and “negative space” properties to focus on the floor and its plight in its original context.
Leyden Rodriguez-Casanova lives and works in Miami, and has exhibited nationally and internationally. His work has been featured in publications such as Art in America, ARTnews, and Sculpture Magazine. The artist has recently exhibited at Socrates Sculpture Park and the Sculpture Center in New York, among many other venues.
Saturday is also the closing day of You might sleep, but you will never dream as well as Amir H. Fallah’s Flowers and Terrorists.

Flying was a dream and an obsession for centuries until the airplane was invented. Although now we are able to fly assisted by mechanical devices, we still look at birds in a mix of wonder and envy. As a result, wings are seen as the means of transforming, and flying as the ultimate metaphor for freedom, the image of total liberation. In art history there any many examples of artists who have been inspired by the act of flying and as a consequence reflected it on their works.
Here we have two contemporary Cuban artists whose works are connected to this idea: Gustavo is using it as a resource for his paintings and Carlos is more interested in the actual possibility of flying, translating this interest to his sculptures.
The Great Systems – Gustavo Acosta
The idea of being constantly watched drove him to paint what seem like views seen through night vision goggles. These images looked like they were made by somebody who went around while everybody was sleeping and registered what he saw. While experimenting in this direction Gustavo started to play with the color green and the infinite possibilities that it offered. This led him to use the color as a filter, as if he was permanently looking at his surroundings through a green glass. The result is this group of paintings in which he has ‘softened’ the color in a more even tone, getting farther away from the goggles effect and giving the impression of an image captured when the light had a rare diffusion.
Secret codes
In this series of works Gustavo is exploring night views in which he shows us how cities are mapped out by their lights reflected against the dark background of a starry night, almost like electric Nazca lines. There is a sense of abstraction with pure color points made of light dots, the pitch black background emphasizing the emptiness between the ground and the air.
Flights of Fancy – Carlos González’s sculptures
In this new group of sculptures Carlos González continues exploring the natural world yet with a clear departure from his last solo exhibition a couple of years ago. His hard angular forms have dissipated, giving space to more organic and voluptuous pieces. While the previous works reminded us of insects, these new ones are inspired by birds and connected elements such as seeds and flowers. Carlos keeps looking at nature for inspiration and these pieces are his very personal interpretations of it. Seemingly mimicking wings and plants he is bringing to light the overlapping of nature, science and flying devices that seem ready to take off. While the works look like mechanical artifacts, there is still the poetry of nature. The monumentality of his work is balanced by the delicacy and intricacy of each piece, part of a complicated yet delicate oeuvre.

Spit-Polishing a Starless Sky/Outer Space at Charest-Weinberg Gallery 9/12/09
Spit-Polishing a Starless Sky/Outer Space
Bhakti Baxter, Nicolas Lobo, Gean Moreno, Daniel Newman, Ernesto Oroza, and Gavin Perry will be featured in the exhibition, Spit-Polishing a Starless Sky/Outer Space, at Charest-Weinberg Gallery, from September 12 through October 5, 2009. The opening reception will be on September 12 from 6pm to 9 pm at 250 NW 23rd Street, Space 408, Miami, FL 33127.
The exhibition is comprised of two different exhibitions that have been superimposed without any attempt to make them cohere. Two sets of information have simply been brought together, and the resulting form of the exhibition will be determined by the very dynamics of their interaction.
The first exhibition, Spit-Polishing a Starless Sky, is made up of black or nearly-black paintings by Bhakti Baxter, Daniel Newman and Gavin Perry. In the work of all these painters, the black monochrome is entwined with references that belong in cultural spheres that exist far away from formalist concerns. In Baxter’s case, the black paintings double as images of macroscopic phenomena and have a scientific flavor. In Perry’s work, the black monochrome is literally the high-end side of paintings that also trade in lowbrow referents and objects, like cheap rugs and souped up cars. With Newman, the black glaze is all process. He has covered over 200 found paintings with black, turning a gesture characteristic of iconophobia into a delirious flow of production. In a sense, in the work of all these painters, two sets of information are already blended. Each of their works becomes a stand-in for the overall structure of a double-exhibition with incompatible or competing halves.
The second exhibition, Outer Space, titled after a 1999 short film by Peter Tscherkassky, will be made up of sculptural proposals by Nicolas Lobo and Giancarlo Sardone, and Ernesto Oroza and Gean Moreno. Each of these collaborative projects begins with elements provided by the technologies, conventions and infrastructure that form the invisible materiality of our social space. Working through all the engineering problems and ontological recoding that rendering a virtual artifact in actual space brings, Lobo has collaborated with terrazzo mason Sardone to produce a real-life double of a standard bench that can be found ready-made in the design program SketchUp. As the bench took shape, its proportions began to feel slightly off due to some distortion caused by the SketchUp rendering engine. What looked like a perfectly bland bench on screen takes on an uncanny air in our physical space. Oroza and Moreno will use the tabloid, of the sort found throughout the city’s neighborhoods, to create both a “catalog†and an ornamental wallpaper pattern from forms determined by the exhibition itself that will, in turn, activate the supposed neutral walls of the space.
All of the artists in the exhibition are part of Miami’s burgeoning scene. They have all exhibited their work internationally and are represented in the collections of major museums. This will be the first time their work is shown at Charest-Weinberg Gallery, whose reputation continues to grow as Miami’s premier venue for emerging art.

Horacio Sapere Vickie Pierre Carlos de Villasante at Diana Lowenstein Fine Arts 9/12/09
HORACIO SAPERE VICKIE PIERRE CARLOS DE VILLASANTE
Alternate Combinations You Poor, Sweet, Innocent Thing Short Form
WHEN: Saturday, September 12th, 7:30pm – 10:00pm
WHERE: Diana Lowenstein Fine Arts – 2043 North Miami Avenue – Miami – FL – 33127
T 305.576.1804 F 305.576.1805 info@dlfinearts.com
HORACIO SAPERE
Alternate Combinations builds on the implication of a long-standing body of work connecting the many threads of this thoughtful painter’s work. While predominantly known as a painter, Sapere has always brought a conceptual approach to the media. He has further worked beyond the confines of the media with sculpture and installation, specifically in the Poet’s Room series, which is an ongoing and somehow never completed project in constant evolution. His engagement in ideas established the field of painting and more spatial modes of representation within the parameters of modes of thought and representation. So for Sapere the act of painting, like the act of writing, is situated within the field of thought and should be understood as a form of thought. In his own terms, painting, like sculpture, can be a form of ‘visual poetry’. – William Jeffett
Horacio Sapere was born Buenos Aires, Argentina. His work has been exhibited widely in Europe, as well as Canada, China, Cuba, Egypt, Korea, Uruguay, Venezuela, the United States. He currently lives and works in Palma de Mallorca, Spain.
VICKIE PIERRE
“Within my paintings and drawings, rubber stamp imprints of fictional female icons are converted into a world where the line between abstraction and representation is blurred. The works are primarily comprised of the dresses of the “three graces” of the fairy tale animation world: Snow White, Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella. The repetitive applications and manipulation of the stamped images into clusters and groupings, along with occasional handwritten text, have become the basis of a connective network that alludes to identity, order, sensuality and feminine psychology. The repeated application of these icons also mirrors their mass-produced presence in popular culture. I am drawn to these characters; their underlying themes and their symbolic significance. In appropriating these images and in turn reconfiguring them, I am attempting to create a new meaning (or story). They are now faceless totems, deities, icons of a different caliber that are self-assured, indulgent and independent. These deconstructed and distorted shapes become otherworldly characters with sensual and precious personalities. They are self-contained and self-generating, recalling the abstractions and distortions of flora as well as the human body.â€
Vickie Pierre is a Haitian-American artist born in Brooklyn, New York. She received a BFA in Studio Arts from the School of Visual Arts. Pierre relocated to Miami in 1999 and has participated in numerous exhibitions. In 2004, she participated in Transitory Patterns: Florida Women Artists at The National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C. Her paintings and works on paper have been exhibited at Art Basel Miami Beach, among other fairs. Collections include the Progressive Art Collection, Cleveland, OH; Millennium Partners Collection of Contemporary Art, The Four Seasons, Miami, FL; and ALFA – Wasserman Collection, Bologna, Italy.
CARLOS DE VILLASANTE – Project Room
“In theatre, Short Form follows an improvisational spontaneous format. My paintings likewise follow intuitive suggestions, accidents and interventions. I use automatic mark-making to oppose precise graphic representation in my portraits. I then rely on my sensibilities to suggest which next step to take, much like in theatre when the audience’s suggestions guide the performance.â€
Carlos de Villasante was born in Mexico City and lives in Sonoma, California, where he is on the painting faculty at Sonoma State University. He received a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design and an MFA from the Memphis College of Art. He exhibits his work both in the United States and abroad.
Carlos has taught numerous courses in studio art as well as liberal arts both in MFA and BFA degree programs. He began as a teaching assistant at the Rhode Island School of Design in 1991 and has also taught the Memphis College of Art; the University of Mississippi, Oxford, and New World School of the Arts in Miami. He lived in Miami for several years and was part of the full-time faculty at Miami international University of Art and Design. Carlos is included in the recent book, Miami Contemporary Artists, by Paul Clemence and Julie Davidow.

The kids worked hard creating their projects for five weeks and now they are ready for their Opening Night! Come see their work at Wynwood’s Second Saturday Art Walk!
On Saturday mornings this summer, KIDSART brought a group of kids right into the studios of five notable Miami artists. Each week, a different artist led the kids in a workshop they created based on community-oriented themes, like sustainable art, recycling, or diversity. The kids learned the importance of having art and creativity in their lives, and got to know artists, and each other, in a very personal way. Working on arts projects together, and then sitting down to lunch to discuss their work, brought them a new, and bold perspective on art in Miami, and in their lives. Come see their collaborative creations, and get a glimpse of the artists’ work as well!
Where: Damien B. Contemporary Art Center
282 NW 36th St. in the heart of Miami’s Wynwood Arts District

Host: Cynic
Massachusetts born rapper Termanology quickly rose from underground obscurity to working with some of hiphop’s elite producers, particularly DJ Premier. Growing up in the streets of the predominantly Latino city of Lawrence, MA, informed the halfwhite, halfPuerto Rican MC’s lyrics as he graduated from silly freestyles at age nine to fullfledged verses at the age of 15. He constantly had to travel back and forth from Boston to New York in order to pursue various opportunities, releasing his first material on vinyl in 2001. Closely tied to fellow Lawrence native and mixtape DJ Statik Selektah, Termanology earned the respect of Boston’s hiphop scene with several 12″ releases as well as his Hood Politics mixtapes, which gradually came to feature more highly regarded lyricists like Royce da 5’9″ and Guru. After releasing the collaborative LP Out the Gate with producer DC the Midi Alien at the onset of 2006, he caught his big break when distinguished producer DJ Premier, whom he met three years earlier, finally gave him one of his signature, scratchladen beats. The result, “Watch How It Go Down,” became an underground hit. Declaring himself the resurrection of his biggest idol, Big Pun, in the opening verse, the conscious hood anthem garnered the earnest MC tons of praise, landing him on the pages of many hiphop publications, notably The Source’s “Unsigned Hype” and XXL’s “Show and Prove” columns. The DJ Premier produced hit later appeared on the Hood Politics, Vol. 4 mixtape in November 2006.

David Castillo Gallery is pleased to present You might sleep, but you will never dream, Leyden Rodriguez-Casanova’s second solo exhibition at the gallery.
The artist uses a vocabulary of domestic objects and suburban architectural elements as a visual language, addressing our social, cultural and emotional existence. He uses material appropriations first introduced in post-minimal and conceptual art. Rodriguez-Casanova is presenting a series of objects that use a room as the point of departure for his concepts. All the objects are elements of a room which have been detached from their original context.
As the title of Damien Hirst’s work suggests, The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living, Rodriguez-Casanova is interested in understanding the loss of someone, including one’s self (and the “impossibility” of such). In the work An Open Door, 2008 commissioned for the Dennis and Debra Scholl Collection, the artist built an entirely new wall with a blackout doorway created by a black sheet of plexi. The opening becomes a metaphor for what lies beyond our existence. This same element exits in A Folded Bed, 2009 in which a portable folding bed is intersected by a large sheet of the same black plexi. The black plane once more is a metaphor for a void. In A Bedroom Floor, 2009 the artist has recreated the exact tile grid of his adolescent bedroom floor. A nod to Carl Andre, the work uses its own detachment and “negative space” properties to focus on the floor and its plight in its original context.
Leyden Rodriguez-Casanova lives and works in Miami, and has exhibited nationally and internationally. His work has been featured in publications such as Art in America, ARTnews, and Sculpture Magazine. The artist has recently exhibited at Socrates Sculpture Park and the Sculpture Center in New York, among many other venues.
In the project room, the gallery is proud to present Amir H. Fallah’s Flowers and Terrorists.
The stark juxtaposition of flowery still lifes and political statements confront the severe spectrum the world lives in. Fallah uses familiar colors and collage elements to blur the line between beauty and violence. Fallah’s still lifes “his mother wishes he would paint” are sullied through his chaotic use of explosive color, while the terror-themed paintings are calmed by the easier transitions of subtle colors.
In the David Castillo Annex, Amir H. Fallah constructs a single tower of objects from found materials in Miami. In this installation as in his paintings, the artist combines the subjects of still lifes and political statements, re-enforcing the dialogue between them. The site-specific installation is a commentary on how beauty and terror are ultimately conjoined in life.
The Los Angeles-based artist has exhibited nationally and internationally. He is also the publisher of the contemporary arts magazine Beautiful/Decay. Fallah received his B.F.A. from The Maryland Institute College of Art and his M.F.A from UCLA in 2005. He was included in the 2009 Sharjah Biennial.

Suenalo Live at Karu & Y 9/4/09
Suenalo Live at Karu & Y
Citizen Kane at Electric Pickle 9/4/09
* Friday night: Special Edition.. Magic City Disco w/ Dj Citizen Kane (Adult Section/ NYC)
Dennis“Citizenâ€Kane has been a seminal and iconic figure in contemporary dance music culture since his emergence in the mid 90’s NYC downtown scene. A former disco and old school buyer for the infamous A1 records, Kane has been digging and collecting since his early teens in Philadelphia.
In 1999 Kane released Selects 001 (with Chairman Mao) a mix of rare Northern Soul, boogie, and disco treats. It gained significant critical praise from Journals like Urb, The Wire, and LA Weekly, and it was nominated to numerous top 10 lists, including The Village Voice’s. A follow up mix, The Greatest Part, released in 2001, went further into the realms of disco and garnered similar critical praise. In 06 Kane released Adult Section, a solo mix with numerous re-edits, that in its diversity reflects the dynamic range of his live sets. It was named one of the years 10 best by Filter magazine, and cited as an essential disco “must have†by Ocean Drive magazine.
Kane’s label Disques Sinthomme had its initial release in the spring of 2007. Featuring tracks by Kane and Lodge co-resident Darshan Jesrani, the 12†charted throughout Europe and Japan, and has appeared on several mix compilations. The labels second release featured original work by Silver and Professor Genius, as well as remixes from Kane and Nick Chacona. Silver’s track has been licensed for a forthcoming cosmic compilation helmed by Ibiza luminary Phil Mison. The record was a huge underground hit and a staple for the likes of Aeroplane, DJ Harvey and Prins Thomas. DS003 featured tracks by The Beat Broker and Lars Behrenroth with remixes from Kane and Smith & Mudd. The EP continued Disques Sinthomme’s expansion of the form of contemporary “new disco” incorporating balearic and orchestral aspects to strong rhythm tracks. Kane’s remix of Cactus Cooler was in heavy rotation especially in Europe, and was listed on several “best of” lists. In Sept. Disques Sinthomme will release an original work of Kane’s, with vocals from Liquid Liquids Sal Principato as well as a remix of Fist of Facts “First Strike”
Kane also runs the Ghost Town re-edit label. Its second release Strawberry/Love has become an indie radio favorite, featured on mix shows by (amongst others), Richard Sen and Alex Pewin. Its third release featuring arrangements by The Beat Broker is forthcoming. Kane also has tracks out on Moton (the infamous “Spanish Home”) and Homestyle labels.
Kane is co-resident at Cielo in NYC (with Metro Area’s Darshan Jesrani) their Adult Section party is in its second year. The two also throw the reknown Strobe Lodge loft parties. (www.strobelodge.com) Kane’s Deep End party ran for 81/2 years at APT in NYC and was seminal in the development of the disco revival, guests included Phil Mison, Force of Nature, DJ Harvey, Nicky Siano, Quiet Village and Danny Krivit.
Recently recovered from a near fatal bike accident, Kane resides in NYC, with his wife Karen and son Roan Mingus. When not touring, digging or working in the studio, he is either DJ’ing, painting, or making risotto. He dreams of the old New York daily.

September 12th – October 3rd, 2009
Opening Reception September 12th 7 – 10 p.m.
Preview Performance and Panel : September 12th at 1 p.m. Click here for details.
Dutes Miller and Stan Shellabarger are the two artist that together form, Miller & Shellabarger. Miller & Shellabarger will be the 10th artists to participate in Diet’s invitational series of exhibitions. Their work, which is often rooted in accessible performances, links them together as partners, procreators, specimens, and artists. Miller & Shellabarger take a comical, yet heartfelt everyday approach to the notion of collaboration. For their exhibition at Gallery Diet, Dutes and Stan will be performing Untitled (Pink Tube), a never ending, at least not to date, performance in which the duo sit across from each other patiently knitting a pink tube, their casual demeanor encouraging audience members to join them in conversation; inviting questions that range from the socio political to the mundane. The ritual of their performance lies in the ritual of the everyday, the casual tasks that two people perform when linked together.
