Spit-Polishing a Starless Sky/Outer Space at Charest-Weinberg Gallery 9/12/09

Posted on September 11, 2009 by none

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 Baxterâ€™s case, the black paintings double as images of macroscopic phenomena and have a scientific flavor. In Perryâ€™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 cityâ€™s neighborhoods, to create both a â€œcatalogâ€ 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 Miamiâ€™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 Miamiâ€™s premier venue for emerging art.

Horacio Sapere Vickie Pierre Carlos de Villasante at Diana Lowenstein Fine Arts 9/12/09

Posted on September 11, 2009 by none

HORACIO SAPERE VICKIE PIERRE CARLOS DE VILLASANTE
Alternate Combinations You Poor, Sweet, Innocent Thing Short Form
WHEN: Saturday, September 12th, 7:30pm â€“ 10:00pm
WHERE: Diana Lowenstein Fine Arts â€“ 2043 North Miami Avenue â€“ Miami â€“ FL â€“ 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’. â€“ 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
â€œWithin 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
â€œIn 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 audienceâ€™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.

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

Termanology at PS14 9/11/09

Major Event Marketing Presents:
“Termanology Live”
September 11th 2009
Doors open @ 10pm

Performing Live: Termanology, Garcia, Saheed, LMS, Pages (The Out of Hand Band), Bez (Psyko South), A1phaNum3ric5, Lex One
DJs: Heron & Kane
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.

Reception September 12, 7-10 pm

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.

Citizen Kane at Electric Pickle 9/4/09

Posted on September 4, 2009 by none

* Friday night: Special Edition.. Magic City Disco w/ Dj Citizen Kane (Adult Section/ NYC)

Dennisâ€œCitizenâ€Kane has been a seminal and iconic figure in contemporary dance music culture since his emergence in the mid 90â€™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 Voiceâ€™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 â€œmust haveâ€ by Ocean Drive magazine.
Kaneâ€™s label Disques Sinthomme had its initial release in the spring of 2007. Featuring tracks by Kane and Lodge co-resident Darshan Jesrani, the 12â€ 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. Silverâ€™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.

Opening Reception September 12th 7 â€“ 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 Dietâ€™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.

live performance by: Diablo Dimes Medicine Show
Djs: Liam, the Hatin Hillbillie & Grand Torino
no cover $3 beer specials all night
doors 10pm -5am

*Friday “The Funk Hits the Fan”
w/ Special guest, legendary Philly dj/ producer King Britt (fivesix media)
You certainly won’t find an artist with a better potential to transpose the many different musical genres into a marvelous standard of grooves full of feelings than Philadelphia native King Britt. His comprehension of what we should call the phonographic culture lies much ahead than the common ones. With a work forged a mixture of Jazz, Soul, Funk, the percussive Afro beats, Hip Hop, Broken Beats, Deep House and the new Electronic Jazz fusion, King Britt has proved to be a very eclectic and open minded soul.

King Britt was the DJ of the Grammy winner Hip Hop-Jazz fusion band Digable Planets. His career pointed to different directions as he started to travel the World on Digable tours and with his own ones on the international House scene as Disc Jockey. At the beginning of his journey as solo DJ, he began a partnership with the well-known DJ/ producer and owner of Ovum Recordings: Josh Wink, who also contributed for the development of his career. One of their first projects together was E-Culture, the one behind the classic “Tribal Confusion” released by Strictly Rhythm in 1990.

King’s seventies funk roots of Philadelphia are also represented through his Sylk 130 project, which brought the traditional Philly sounds elements and projects with artists such as Ursula Rucker, Alma Horton and Alison Crockette in a combination of a funk-soul aura. The highlight of this alias was attained with the long play “When The Funk Hits The Fan”, an excellent combination of the traditional Plilly soul grooves blended with contemporary electronica.
King’s talents as a remixer resulted in a total subversion of rhythms and of the original tunes conceptions, from the works of Yoko Ono and Femi Kuti to the ones of Erykah Badu and Macy Gray. Perhaps that should be the cause why he received, as well as other celebrities like Masters At Work and Joe Claussell, the invitation by the people from legendary Jazz label Verve Records to give his contribution to the acclaimed compilation “Verve Remixed”. He finally owned the title on the category “Remix of the Year” with Danny Tenaglia and Basement Jaxx, which granted him the status of one of the most respected remixes all over the World.
Don’t miss this intimate evening w/ King Britt as he returns to Miami this Friday @ the Electric Pickle. doors 10pm -5am

PULSE Miami New Location at The Ice Palace 12/3-6/09

Posted on August 17, 2009November 22, 2009 by none

PULSE Miami Announces Relocation to The Ice Palace for its Fifth Edition

Helen Allen, Director of PULSE Contemporary Art Fair announced today that PULSE Miami is taking over The Ice Palace in downtown Miami. The large venue offers PULSE a more dynamic space for the exhibition of art and is conveniently located within minutes of the Venetian and MacArthur Causeways to Miami Beach. The layout in the former ice factory, built in the early 1920’s, will be designed to utilize the vast outdoor area to enhance visitors’ experience and additional cultural programming. In just five years, PULSE Miami has grown into a major international exhibition, which has frequently been hailed as the most significant art fair in Miami after Art Basel Miami Beach.

“We are thrilled to be moving to The Ice Palace”, said Helen Allen. “We are planning to work on the space to maximize its full potential by implementing a series of improvements such as the layout, lighting, and wider aisles. The caliber of exhibitors we are bringing will undoubtedly allow us to produce an incredible fair. We are also pleased to remain the anchor of the Miami/Wynwood area”.

The Ice Palace Film Studios, typically referred to as The Ice Palace, is a former ice factory centrally located in Miami’s Media and Entertainment District. It stands at the heart of the new cultural center, neighboring the Miami Art Museum, CIFO, the Symphony Theatre and The Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami Dade County. Boasting over 145,000 square feet, Art Deco architecture and verdant lawns, it will constitute an exceptional and easily accessible setting for PULSE Miami.

PULSE Miami 2009 will feature over 75 exhibitors in its main section, with an additional 10 galleries in its IMPULSE section. The Fair will also present its signature programs: the installations and large-scale sculpture program, PULSE Performance, PULSE Play>, and, on Saturday, December 5, 2009, it will award the PULSE Prize in honor of Adriaan Van der Have of TORCH GALLERY who passed away this spring.

The VIP Private Preview Brunch will be held on Thursday, December 3, at The Ice Palace from 10am to 1pm.
Opening Hours:
Thursday, December 3: 1pm – 8pm
Friday, December 4: 10am – 7pm
Saturday, December 5: 10am – 7pm
Sunday, December 6: 10am – 7pm
Location: The Ice Palace- 1400 North Miami Avenue, Miami, FL 33136

About PULSE Contemporary Art Fair:
PULSE Contemporary Art Fair is the leading US art fair dedicated solely to contemporary art. Held annually in New York and Miami, PULSE bridges the gap between main and alternative fairs and provides participating galleries with a platform to present new works to a strong and growing audience of collectors, art professionals and art lovers.

The Fair is divided into two sections and is comprised of a mix of established and emerging galleries vetted by a committee of prominent international dealers. The IMPULSE section presents galleries invited by the Committee to present solo exhibitions of artist’s work created in the past two years.

The Miami debut of PULSE Performance will feature daily performances and concerts by young emerging artists such as Maria Jose Arjona, who was recently invited to be part of a workshop with Marina Abramovic, and whose daily performances will be among the highlights of the new programming. Notable musical talents in the outdoor concert and performance series include The Vivian Girls, The Blow, and Exene Cervenka.

Additionally, PULSE will present its signature program of large-scale sculptures and installations throughout the fair’s exhibition halls and lawn, as well as the PULSE Play> video lounge curated by JoÃ£o Ribas, Curator of Exhibitions at the MIT List Visual Arts Center, Cambridge, MA. Danny Baskin and Andy Schrock, featured in PULSE PRESENTS at ACADEMY 2009 hosted by Conner Contemporary Art, have also each been awarded space to present new projects at the fair.

Each year, one artist featured in IMPULSE, the section of the fair dedicated to solo artist presentations, is awarded a $2,500 cash prize. This year’s PULSE Prize will be awarded in honor of Adriaan van der Have, Founder and Director of Torch Gallery, who was an inspiring force in the art world for his dedication to the promotion of emerging artists. The winner will be announced Friday, December 4, 2009 during the PULSE Party at PLUNGE at the Gansevoort South.

Musical Missionary presents Dance for a Cause with Chris Fortier, Stryke, Sebastian at Electric Pickle 8/14/09

Posted on August 12, 2009 by none

{Musical Missionary is a good friend of Soul Of Miami. Highly Recommended.}

Musical Missionary proudly presents DANCE FOR A CAUSE
… to appreciate and benefit the SoBe Institute of the Arts
… and bring the gift of music to underprivileged children

featuring…
CHRIS FORTIER
STRYKE
SEBASTIAN

Friday, August 14, 2009 at 11:00pm
The Electric Pickle
2826 N. Miami Ave.
Miami, FL

This is it… Musical Missionary is very excited to host its first fundraising event on Friday, August 14th, at The Electric Pickle. Proceeds from the event will go towards scholarships at the SoBe Arts Institute. Giving the gift of music to underprivileged children is a cause that perfectly aligns with MM’s mission, so I hope to see many of you there to Dance For A Cause!

Another fitting feature of this party is the talent lineup. Few names are tied to electronic dance music’s past, present, and future like Chris Fortier. Honing his skills over the last two decades with highlights such as a Balance Series compilation and founding credits for the Balance Record Pool, Fortier has always been on the leading edge of dance music. Musical Missionary is extremely proud to call Chris family and to have him be a part of this special event.

But this is not your typical one-headliner party. Stryke and Sebastian are local dance music masters who remind me of how lucky I am to live in Miami. Stryke spends most of his time on the road so having him join this party is an extra special treat. And Sebastian… he’s been a Musical Missionary favorite since MM started throwing parties, so this lineup couldn’t be more fitting for this occasion.

Our House West of Wynwood (O.H.W.O.W.) presents Michael Genovese It’s Not The Heat, It’s The Humility Phase 2 7/11/09

Posted on July 11, 2009 by none

activation

MICHAEL GENOVESE’S
IT’S NOT THE HEAT, IT’S THE HUMILITY PHASE 2
This exhibition includes documentation of performances that have taken place since the June 13th.

July 11, 2009 – For his premiere solo exhibition in Miami, Michael Genovese releases a recent body of work that will include site-specific installations, sculpture, and paintings.

Michael GenoveseÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s work operates as a reflection, both in a conceptual context and in a literal sense.Ã‚ Ã‚ This exhibition addresses a range of subjects, from Art History to American culture, pomposity to personal debt. The artist holds up a mirror in order to understand his identity and his role in relation to these subjects, while challenging the viewer to perform the same exercise. How we define ourselves, our choice of expression, the ways we are influenced by what we read and experience, all create cause for reflection and require a measure of humility in doing so.

GenoveseÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s text engravings on high-polished aluminum panels are simultaneously illegible and painstakingly detailed; they are further evolved reincarnations of pulp and prose. By turning his formerly disregarded mail Ã¢â‚¬â€œ unpaid bills, debt collector threats, and legal documents Ã¢â‚¬â€œ into sacred objects, he aims to more accurately convey the power of burden. Also among this collection of engravings is a panel cataloging public commentary gathered from a previous project, citing nonsensical quotes like Ã¢â‚¬Å“Tippy-toe on the pooty-sideÃ¢â‚¬ï¿½ alongside profound examples: Ã¢â‚¬Å“Our dreams donÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t fit on your ballot.Ã¢â‚¬ï¿½ Another engraving plucks sections of cultural essays; from Ralph EllisonÃ¢â‚¬â„¢sÃ‚ Invisible ManÃ‚ Ã¢â‚¬Å“You ache with the need to convince yourself that you do exist in the real worldÃ¢â‚¬Â¦Ã¢â‚¬ï¿½Ã‚ Ã¢â‚¬Å“Today, let tomorrow goÃ¢â‚¬ï¿½ is the incomprehensible message on a monochromatic black painting. In each incarnation of the two-dimensional work a reflection is forced, but an obstacle exists – the process of analysis is difficult, uncomfortable, and at times simply impossible.

Three large-scale sculptures continue the conversation of obstacle and experience. A porch, missing its home, is preserved like a giant chunk of amber containing the DNA of a tragic history. A bizarre arrangement of ordinary pipes and chains is elevated to grandiose through its nickel-plated treatment. Metal rails are manipulated into a circular formation, grounded with cement footings molded from traffic cones. The motive of this work is also an interactive one; an invitation to flex your agility on a course constructed to humiliate. Accumulated sheets of paper, in actuality, weigh less than an ounce, yet can resonate the poundage of an anvil. Genovese takes intellectual ideas and gives them anatomy to match significance, while trying to preserve their original integrity. Ten-gage aluminum panels somehow feel ephemeral, and a hulking wooden sculpture still gives a fragile impression; interpretations change depending on the view.

ABOUT O.H.W.O.W.: Aaron Bondaroff and Al Moran’s Our House West of Wynwood (O.H.W.O.W.) is Miami’s most exciting high profile art space. Designed by Rafael de Cardenas of Architecture at Large, the venue features prominent international and U.S. based experimental art as well as innovative contemporary art forms through an alternative cross-disciplinary perspective.

Andres Dominguez solo exhibition opening at Art Rouge Gallery7/11/09

What: Â Opening reception of Andres Dominguezâ€™s solo exhibition â€œPielesâ€. Art Rouge Gallery is pleased to present the first solo exhibition in our gallery of new collection â€œPielesâ€ by Miami based Chilean artist Andres Dominguez. Andresâ€™s works takes on the human body as subject matter, revealing psychological complexities inherent within these structures. After years of creative exploration A. Dominguez developed his own artistic language with his unique combination of the impeccable reproduction of the human figure and his own color concept. His painting reflects the presence and absence or the human form, in all its forms and its fleeting moment of appearance and disappearance.
We will welcome our guests with drinks sponsored by Buena Cepa Wines to celebrate the show. We look forward to seeing you.

More on Jeremy Ellis…
AYRO is a sonic chef who mixes ingredients from across the musical spectrum. The freestyle live set specialist, pianist, singer and MPC virtuoso sounds nothing like youâ€™ve heard before. Audiences stand in awe while witnessing the joyful fury that is his performance style. His fans often resemble that of students as his wildly intelligent, yet unforgivingly danceable tracks perplex the most eager and adept melodic minds. Combining a lifetime of classical training with a meticulous obsession with sound, Ellis demonstrates himself as one of the forerunners of a new era in electronic music pushing instruments beyond their creators’ intentions. He has been called the voice of Detroit’s new sound and even acclaimed by Stevie Wonder himself. In a city with such important heritage as Motown and the birthplace of Techno he was awarded Best Electronic Artist 2009 by Real Detroit Magazine. Ayro has worked with such luminaries as Carl Craig, John Beltran, Recloose, John Arnold, Underground Resistance, Bugz in the Attic and Alton Miller to name a few. With poetic lyrical flow and melodic ingenuity combined with vintage sounds like the Rhodes piano and the Moog with raw sounds of the street through the earthly growl of the 808. Ayroâ€™s intrinsic use of the MPC has grown into a wild toad’s ride that hasn’t been seen since Hendrix non-chalant shredding of guitar licks with his teeth.

NYFA.org comes to Miami Seminar for Artists at Bakehouse Art Complex 7/9/09

NYFA.ORG COMES TO MIAMI!
SEMINAR FOR ARTISTS
When: Thursday, July 9th at 6pm
Where: Main Gallery
Bakehouse Art Complex
561 NW 32nd Street
Miami, Florida 33127

What: Members of NYFA’s staff will provide a 90-minute seminar, with a 30-minute Q&A afterward, on Thursday, July 9th at 6pm at Bakehouse Art Complex. Each of New York Foundation for the Arts’ programs and services will be covered with an emphasis on NYFA Source, Fiscal Sponsorship, and the Immigrant Artists Project.

NYFA Source: NYFA Source is the most extensive national online directory of awards, services, and programs for artists.

Fiscal Sponsorship: Fiscal Sponsorship is a critical way for individual artists, artists’ collaborative projects, and emerging arts organizations in all disciplines to apply for funding usually available only to organizations with 501(c)(3) nonprofit status. The right fiscal sponsor will not only allow you to manage your project efficiently, but can actually help artists to raise more money and realize their artistic visions more fully.

Immigrant Artists Project: Through the Immigrant Artist Mentoring Program, the bi-monthly IAP Newsletter, and other programming, the Immigrant Artist Project seeks to expand the constituency it serves by nurturing and fostering a community of empowered artists with diverse educational, cultural, and creative backgrounds.

Please RSVP: Lauren Wagner @ info@bacfl.org

DJs:

DJ Way

In Chinese philosophy, the concept of yin yang is used to describe how seemingly disjunct or opposing forces are interconnected and interdependent in the natural world, giving rise to each other in turn. Artistically, DJ Way cultivates yin and yang expressions through the exposure of classical & house music. He holds Masters and Undergraduate performance degress from the prestegious Juilliard School, NYC. While studing classical music at the conservatory his weekend passion for house music evolved from dance floors into the DJ booth. Way’s mixing style and track selection are a direct influence from his expertise in understanding tonal & harmonic implications, performance practice, texture, and musical form. He is known for his musically acrobatic style. Way has traveled across the world performing classical music… along this road he’s left his mark on the underground house music scene as well. Currently residing in Miami, FL Way performs with numerous ensembles including Naples Philharmonic, Sarasota Symphony, Seraphic Fire Chamber Orchestra, Florida Grand Opera, & Palm Beach Opera. He is also a former member of New World Symphony. As DJ Way, he’s held residencies at Float (NYC) as well as Blue, Black Sheep Bar, & Sixx Lounge (Miami).

DJ Alan Stenback

A musician and entertainer since an early age, Alan is skilled on several instruments from keyboards to strings. While growing up outside of Cleveland, OH, well before dedicating himself to the turntables and mixing board, Alan picked up the guitar. He spent several years gaining valuable classical guitar training, while simultaneously finding his harder edge on the electric guitar. Thick, driving distortions and drop-d tunings were the bread and butter of his upfront style.
Presently, in the recording studio, Alan dedicates himself to original production and remix work spanning the genres of house and techno. Never complacent, Alan continually evolves his style to satisfy the thirst for new and creative material, and challenge the scene musically while staying true to himself and his roots. His DJing style is geared toward creating a great vibe for the party through impeccable programming and seamless mixing skills. His soundtracks range from tech-house and techno to acid, deep and classic house, while maintaining a solid, clubby groove.

– – – – –

DJ Sebastian C

Growing up outside of Toronto, Canada, Sebastian knew at a young age his passion was music. Picking up his first set of decks at the age of 14, he still remembers getting that first 1200 home and staring at it for hours. Passion is what this guy is all about.
Sebastian’s focus has now centering on making his own music to refine the other key technical ability expected of djs in this day and age: production skills. Last year was busy with releases on Nikola Galaâ€™s Escada Music and Plastic Cityâ€™s Galvanic label. 2009 promises even more with a forthcoming EP on Sultan and Ned Shepardâ€™s esteemed Harem records imprint. Keeping his ear to the ground, expect great things to come from this up and coming producer.

DJ Soozin

Soozin is a Florida based DJ that has been playing music to dance floor enthusiasts for almost 10 years. She began DJing in 2000, in Gainesville, FL, and quickly began earning gigs at various clubs, including Full Circle, Bleu, and others. She began playing out in Orlando and south Florida shortly thereafter. Soozin now resides in Miami and still DJs regularly at various clubs in the tricounty area. She also recently gained international exposure, playing opening night at Liquid in Jaco Beach, Costa Rica. She is also Music Director for Life Is Art.

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. We have paired this auditory art by providing different levels of illuminated projections that are distributed on the musical performers. The projections create a theatrical setting producing illusions of continuous interconnected changeovers to accommodate the sounds In the conclusion of the performance the viewing audience is treated to lollipops an invention that is still something of a mystery that dates back to the middle ages.

UOM
uom2 uom3
UOM is a different type of musical project. I think that we are doing music that is unlike anything happening on the Miami scene right now. It’s not rock or pop, even though we carry a fair amount of rock & pop influences; but it’s not avant-garde classical either… we play without scores and with no affiliation to academies or institutions. But we do play music, and we do so with fun, soulfulness, and a lot of creativity. We place the emphasis on non-traditional instrumental techniques, and our approach to composition is collective and ususally totally improvised.

FEATURED VISUAL ARTISTS

Antonia Wright
tree paint4 tree paint-2
I am a Miami born, Cuban-America artist, whose work employs photography, poetry, performance, installation, and video art and the interaction between these forms. My pieces are â€˜social experimentsâ€™, highlighting the bizarre within the everyday faÃ§ade of the â€˜normalâ€™.

Brett Sauce
miamiworld1 newyork1
Brett Michael Sauce, was born and raised in Southern Louisiana. Just southwest of New Orleans, in the heart of Cajun country. Brett’s artistic talent became apparent very early in life. After completion of high school, Sauce attended the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale, and graduated Advertising Design. He worked in advertising, from production artist, to art director, to freelance advertising illustrator. He has always specialized in airbrush. His artistic career encompasses corporate projects in Ft. Lauderdale, Miami, New York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and New Orleans.

Carla Fache

Painting is the faith within me, that endless hope that we as human beings carry through life. In my artwork as in my life, everyday brings a new challenge, a new goal to reach. When I paint, my canvas and I drift to another world, almost a dream world to me. All my senses come into play: my emotions, my eyes, my hands, my canvas, my earsâ€¦ Iâ€™m in tune with myself, and all that surrounds me.

Carol Kingsley
banana-leaves-II bananas-negras
“In my long walks I’m fascinated at the beauty, light and life that exists in everything in nature and wish all through my paintings could see it, feel it and be grateful for it, as I am.” Venezuelan artist from british descent, has lived in Rio and Caracas and has been a Coral Gables resident since 1979. She received a Bachellors Degree in Fine Arts and Philosophy from Universidad Catolica Andres Bello. She likes to paint with a limited pallette using layers of washes that portray an exceptional display of shadows and amazing light which she certainly captures in her paintings.

Daniel Marosi
DANIEL-MAROSI-PAINTING5 DANIEL-MAROSI-PAINTING6
This series of paintings is titled Wasted. The work showcases specific people known to my particular group of friends. The paintings are emblems of an urban tribe that lives mostly in South Beach. In my life there was a period of time after college when life got a little random and in between developing a career and bombing in love and experience, the messiness can fondly be remembered with all its awkward and freaky moments in these images.

Deborah Weed
Stupendous-LIA Plungediscover1
Water sculptures are the primary medium for my mixed media pieces. The result is a salubrious technique that takes color into a new arena of purity that is vivid, fluid and alive. Residing in trendy South Beach is my inspiration. The vibe here is bold and daring and my studio is literally on the white sandy beaches of the Atlantic Ocean. According to my collectors, my work titillates the senses and is very sensual.
– – – –
Eileen M. Baldwin
COLORSCAPES EARTH-ELEMENTS
My art is inspired by my collective experience in music, advertising and exposure to multi-cultural influences. And by my curious, creative and spiritual nature. “Why paint?” It satisfies my desire to be inventive and to explore my creative sensibilities. Also, it’s the immediacy of painting and play of expression that appeals to me. I combine and contrast the abstract and representational. In part, my work may contain spiritual and symbolic references, figurative, abstracted images or the essence of nature. I work on canvas, masonite board or wood using acrylic, oil, metallic and other additives.

Flex Maslan
trinity-on-ice-xxs wood-b-predator-xxs
I tend to seek out the unusual, un-photographed or under-photographed. On the flip side, I like to take some very common subjects or themes and develop them from a different perspective.

Jovan Karlo Villalba
WashoutÂ©Jovan_Villalba09
Through my art, I aim to create a gratifying and refreshing experience by stimulating contemplation and escapism in a viewer. I like to think of my paintings as puzzle segments that provide a glimpse of pictorial worlds that are inviting and free to inhabit. Through the juxtaposition of curious references, and the fusion of abstract marks, I assign unconventional roles to familiar imagery. The whimsical reconstructions of dislocated elements describe settings that emanate meaning over time, resulting in work that is simultaneously deliberate and vague.

Rainer Langemann
04-Lagemann-0108-Tahirah 02-Lagemann-0108-Alvaro
I use metal squares to sculpt the human form, creating works that elicit both the strength and delicacy of the body. I concentrate on the human body in a modern interpretation of the classic art of sculpture.

Rosa Naday Garmendia
FCx4 FConthewall
As visual artist, I am interested in such themes as migration, uprooting, human identity, impermanence and the values we share and/or differ as a society. The consequences of migration and displacement at an early age are the single most determining events that have shaped my identity and compelled me to become an artist. I use the visual arts as a vehicle to stimulate ideas, provoke thought, and confront commonly accepted attitudes. My works are points of departure, rather than destinations.

Tashmeha Ignacio
Art-Comission-09-4 Art-019
Obsessed with obsessive obsession. To do, do, do, and do again over, the same. And in the night to dream to do, and in the morning to crave to do. The drive driven by wanting to see the do, do, doing be done. To start to do all over again, to wonder how it can be done and done and done the same but differently this time. Do it big, do it bold, do, do, do it for you so you don’t have to. So you can see the result of the doing after it has already been done, and you can wonder what it is like to do it too.

Lost Horizon
WHEN: Saturday, June 13th, 7:30pm â€“ 10:00pm
WHERE: Diana Lowenstein Fine Arts â€“ 2043 North Miami Avenue â€“ Miami â€“ FL â€“ 33127
T 305.576.1804 F 305.576.1805 info@dlfinearts.com

â€œWe are living in a time when fixed notions have been lost and new possibilities are on the
horizon. My work attempts to trap the mutable state of things where paradigms shift, boundaries
erode and particles collide. I investigate the architecture of chance, the stretching of the
‘truth’ and the delaying of the inevitable.â€

Exploring drawing, collage and sculpture, Felice Grodin maps out cartographies of tension and
compression that remain spatially ambiguous. They represent moments of transformation,
movement and entropy.

Felice Grodin was born in Bologna, Italy. She obtained her BArch from Tulane University where
she received the Thomas J. Lupo Award for Metropolitan Studies for her thesis project, and her
MArch with Distinction from Harvard University where she was awarded the Faculty Design Award.
Her work was recently featured in the show â€œDrawing Beyond the Planeâ€ at the Tampa Museum
of Art as well as the publication New American Paintings. In addition, she curated her first show at Locust Projects in Miami called â€œSynestheticsâ€ which explored the creative interface between art, design and technology. Felice lives and works in Miami Beach.

O.H.W.O.W. Presents Michael Genovese Art show and DJ set by Camp Gabby 6/13/09

Posted on June 11, 2009 by none

MICHAEL GENOVESE – IT’S NOT THE HEAT, IT’S THE HUMILITY

Opening June 13, 2009 – For his premiere solo exhibition in Miami, Michael Genovese releases a recent body of work that will include site-specific installations, sculpture, and paintings.

A Chicago native, Genovese instinctively carries a metropolitan dialect and acumen into his work. An early exposure to multiculturalism joined with his professional training as a sign painter led to a socially inspired vehicle of expression. Creating work that makes use of his technical abilities and familiarity with specific materials, Genovese’s ability to open a communal discourse ultimately became his trademark style. Through public murals and installations, his deft handling of type and unorthodox use of industrialized media further cemented his status as one of today’s most promising contemporary artists. His latest work exemplifies his focus on community and its influence, but also digs inward and begins the process of reconciling his public works with his personal journeys.

Michael Genovese has recently exhibited at the University of Texas, San Antonio, Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago and the Chicago Cultural Center. His work was recently published in New American Paintings; The Upset: Young Contemporary Art, Art Lies Contemporary Art Quarterly and Dazed and Confused.

ABOUT O.H.W.O.W.: Aaron Bondaroff and Al Moran’s Our House West of Wynwood (O.H.W.O.W.) is Miami’s most exciting high profile art space. Designed by Rafael de Cardenas of Architecture at Large, the venue features prominent international and U.S. based experimental art as well as innovative contemporary art forms through an alternative cross-disciplinary perspective.

Durban Segnini Gallery invites you to the presentation of the Jesus Sotoâ€™s catalogue Penetrable 5/30/09

Durban Segnini Gallery
cordially invites you to attend the presentation of
the Jesus Sotoâ€™s catalogue PENETRABLE

Saturday May 30
from 6 to 10 pm
at the Wynwood Arts District gallery space
2145 NW 2nd. Ave.
Miami, FL 33127
The presentation of the fully illustrated catalogue, with a foreword by Carlos M. Luis, will take place in the presence of a groundbreaking Penetrable BBL Blue from 1999 on permanent view at the Durban Segnini space.
This is an invitation to explore the amazing experience of walking through the blue space while interacting with your own physical movement.

Penetrable, 1990
508 x 508 x 508 cm / 200 x 200 x 200 In.
Patricia Phelps de Cisneros collection, Caracas, Venezuela
â€œA Penetrable such as this one in Wynwood opens up a new experience of an aesthetic nature because it deals with moving space. Whether it is us, or the wind blowing that provokes it, the visual and imaginary reality it offers us is like an illuminating path, or Tao. How this illumination is produced depends on the willingness of whoever agrees to experience it. But what we do not doubt is that the challenge he throws at us to change our pre-conceived opinions regarding reality, is sufficient to encourage us to travel the path proposed by him.
Whoever experiences the sensation of ï¬nding him / herself within a living object such as Sotoâ€™s Penetrables, would then understand the intimate meaning of his workâ€™s poetic structure. Those vibrant rodsâ€”all blue, in this caseâ€”reveal to us a reality that we forget but which exists deep in our traditional culture, as expressed by the Egyptian and the Greek: nothing is static, life is movement. â€œ Carlos M. Luis.

The Black Mangrove Collective presents Future Shock 5/29/09

Posted on May 27, 2009 by none

Future Shock!
The Black Mangrove Collective
From May 29th through 30th, 2009.
The Black Mangrove Collective presents Future Shock; a two-day only art exhibit with an opening reception on Friday, May 29th from 8-11pm. In a world caught in a perpetual state of flux, all the more felt by the dominance of communication technologies, Future Shock explores the work of twelve diverse artists who examine the effects of rapid technological, political, and social change in our society. The title is a reference to a book written by the futurist Alvin Toffler in 1970. Themes of transience, identity, memory, communication, originality, and spirituality are explored as well as how people adapt to the pace of change at the dawn of the 21st century. The artwork in Future Shock raises fundamental questions about the impact that technology has on our experience of contemporary life. Artists present this through a variety of mediums including video, interactive installations, decollages, mixed media, sculpture, and photography. Featured artists include Orlando Estrada, Kiwi Farah, Samuel Gualtieri, The Human Observation Society, Cristina Molina, Federico Nessi, Roxy Ramos, Rosemarie Romero, Nancy Trevino, TV, Kacey Westall Keogh, and Melissa Wallen.

Poplife announces 10 Year Anniversary Event 6/6/09

Posted on May 11, 2009 by none

MIAMIâ€™S INDIE CULTURE STAPLE LIVES ON AFTER TEN SPIRITED AND FRUITFUL YEARS

POPLIFE Celebrates a Decade of Indie Music and Nightlife

On Saturday, June 6, POPLIFE will commemorate 10 years of showcasing indie music and providing a compelling, alternative cultural hub for nightlife revelers. The 10-year anniversary celebration will feature a live performance by Atlanta indie rockers Snowden, along with very special surprise guests yet to be announced, DJ sets by Aramis, Induce and Mike Deuce, lots of giveaways (music, T-shirts, etc), and the unveiling of a new logo, all at White Room, 1306 North Miami Ave., Downtown Miami.

Every major city has its share of alternative platforms and weekly indie parties on the nightlife circuit. Yet Miami has seen very few live venues and nightlife-driven events that hone in on a colorful diversity of indie music. Back in 1999, POPLIFE emerged as an antidote to the homogenized sheen of South Beach nightlife. Founding partners Aramis Lorie and Barbara Basti (later joined by Jake Jefferson) envisioned a weekly event focused on music and the arts â€“ a social gathering for individuals seeking an alternative to Miami nightlife, and a place to dance and mingle with like-minded individuals.

Throughout the years, POPLIFE has become instrumental in developing Miami as a viable market for non-mainstream acts and talent. In addition to offering a platform to local acts, the organization has produced and promoted numerous events and concerts, including Le Tigre, Peaches, MIA, Of Montreal, Interpol, The Magnetic Fields, Jose Gonzalez, Chicks on Speed, The Faint, Yelle, Ladytron, Ratatat, Prefuse 73, Lansing-Dreiden, Jamie Lidell, Spank Rock, The Walkmen, Mum, Santogold, Green Velvet, Junior Boys, Mylo, Calvin Harris, Chairlift, Cat Power, Modest Mouse, Animal Collective, and many, many more.

Good music is king in the realm of POPLIFE, and its longstanding mission has prevailed as an alternative music outlet, encompassing non-mainstream artists and genres. The POPLIFE nightcrawlers dig into everything from indie rock and electronica to grime, traversing all aural, subterranean spaces in between. The key is to listen and dance all the way through, caroused and blithe.

But POPLIFE has always been more than just a party. It is a culture, and its devotees are passionate and diehard. The founders actually pioneered areas of Miami that are now considered hip, such as the Design District in 2000 when the event was hosted at The Piccadilly Garden. Same with the 14th Street/Downtown Miami club row, when the event was moved to the newly-opened I/O in 2003. Lorie and Basti are downtown trailblazers who have owned and operated venues such as I/O Lounge, The District Restaurant and Lounge, PS14 (28 NE 14th St., 305-358-3600), and â€“ most recently â€“ the new Ecco Pizzateca and Lounge (168 SE 1st St., 305-960-1900), in Downtown Miami.

By now, POPLIFE has garnered international attention and various globetrotting characters have stopped by to join the party â€“ from Moby to Michael Stipe to Irvine Welsh. POPLIFE patrons are innovators, artists, tastemakers, hip kids, and dancing queens. Expanding its horizons, the organization continues to pursue collaborations, such as with The Rhythm Foundation, Le Baron (Paris), MAP Magazine (themapmag.com), Design Miami, Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin, Locust Projects, O.H.W.O.W., and several more. Their official photographer, Nefariousgirl (nefariousgirl.com), has been documenting all the events since 2004.

The POPLIFE collective has also brought its distinct brand to the Beach, producing and promoting weekly parties, such as LoveLife Sundays at The Standard (since 2007, with its infamous, rollicking Bingo game), Good Clean Fun every Thursday at Rok Bar, and Dirty Hairy every Wednesday at LIV at the Fontainebleau.

Currently, the signature event is still hosted at White Room, 1306 North Miami Ave., Downtown Miami, every Saturday night starting at 10pm.

POPLIFE has come a long way from its first incarnation on June 4, 1999. Hereâ€™s to ten years, and many more fruitful ones to come.

Miami Rescue Mission Health Clinic to Open for Needy 5/14/09

Posted on May 10, 2009 by none

You Are Invited!
May 14, 2009 2PM to 4PM
Dreams sometimes do come true. The vision of having a Health Clinic for the homeless and needy of Miami began in 2000. We are happy to announce that the Clinic will have a Grand Opening on May 14th at 2 PM. There will be a ceremony and then time for tours and refreshments.
The Medical Clinic will impact the lives of thousands of men, women, and children of Miami. We are so excited about this opportunity to serve others and we want you to be part of the Grand Opening.

The opening celebration will be held on May 14th, from 2 PM to 4 PM. This event will be part of a mini-health fair.
The Address is 2015 NW 1st Ave., Miami, FL 33127
Phone: 305.571.2245 or 305.572.2010
You should arrive by 1:30 PM. Parking is available with security. To learn more, see our video, and make your reservations online click here: Miami Rescue Mission Medical Clinic

This has been a labor of love and so many have made such spectacular gifts of their time, talents, and treasures. We would like to especially recognize Miami Dade College, Boston Scientific Foundation, Michael Capponi and others you will meet on May 14th.

The Miami Rescue Mission Health Clinicâ€“Fact Sheet
A partnership between Miami Dade College and the Miami Rescue Mission
DESCRIPTION: The Miami Dade College Medical Center Campus (MDC) and the Miami Rescue Mission (MRM) have a long history of collaboration. Located less than one mile apart, hundreds of MDC nursing and health sciences students and faculty have provided services to the men, women, and children served by the Mission over the years; and many Mission graduates have enrolled and earned degrees from MDC. As part of this partnership, the MDC School of Nursing and the leaders of the MRM created â€œThe Mission Projectâ€ in 2000 with the goals of improving student achievement and clinical skills, cultivating civic responsibility, expanding awareness of health needs, and most especially, improving the health of the community’s homeless. A long-term goal of the Mission Project has been to establish an on-site clinic at the Miami Rescue Mission, staffed partly by MDC Nursing and Health Sciences students and faculty, to serve the primary needs of those at the Mission and in the surrounding Overtown neighborhoods. This clinic is scheduled to open on May 14, 2009.
MAIN PARTNERS: Miami Rescue Mission, Miami Dade College Medical Center Campus, Miami-Dade Area Health Education Center (AHEC), MDC Center for Community Involvement.
RATIONALE: The MRM serves approximately 1,000 men, women and children a month. Many of these people have little or no access to health care. The new clinic will serve the clients of the MRM and eventually residents of the Overtown community. The area of the MRM is designated as a â€œMedically Underserved Area/Populationâ€ and as a â€œHealth Professional Shortage Areaâ€ by the Department of Health and Human Services.
STAFFING: MRM is the host agency and site of the clinic. Dr. Peter Gutierrez, MD, MMS, PA-C, is Director of MDCâ€™s Physician Assistant program and will coordinate clinical education for Physician Assistant students, while providing medical direction for the clinic. Annette Gibson MSN, MEd, RN, Professor, School of Nursing, will coordinate education and outreach service-learning programs involving MDC Nursing and Health Sciences students and faculty. The clinic will serve as a main clinical site for Physician Assistant students. MDC students and faculty from Nursing and Health Sciences will help staff the clinic, as will students from additional health profession programs from other colleges in South Florida.
CURRENT STATUS: Initial funding was provided by the Boston Scientific Foundation and the Michael Capponi Group for the development and construction of the on-site clinic. The clinic consists of a waiting room, two offices and two patient examination rooms with room for expansion. In February 2009, MRM and MDC personnel received the â€œCertificate of Need to Practice in an Area of Critical Needâ€ from the Florida State Department of Health in order to open the clinic. Future grant proposals will focus on meeting long-term needs of the Mission Project health clinic including materials and additional staff necessary for operation, as well as outreach screening and education projects.
CLINIC KICK-OFF EVENT: The MRM and MDC are organizing a grand-opening ceremony of the on-site MRM Clinic. This event will include a health fair with education and screening, and treatment of the clinicâ€™s first patients.

Opening Kristopher Benedict and Peter Labier – Citygarden and Microscope 5/9/09

Posted on May 4, 2009 by none

Gallery Diet is pleased to announce Citygarden and Microscope, a two-person exhibition by Kristopher Benedict and Peter LaBier.

â€œGiven the sobering adjustments one might expect following the world financial collapse, several weeks ago, New York Times film critic A.O. Scott posed the question ‘What kind of movies do we need now?’ His answer? What the people really need isâ€¦ neo-realism. â€¦ Neo realist films, like other forms of realist art and literature, gain a sense of expository justice in showing ordinary, often boring, deviant or sometimes abject images…â€

For this exhibition, Benedict and LaBier have created a series of works that depict the mundane views, and objects of our everyday lives. In his extended exhibition text, Afterimages of the Everyday, Tom McGrath describes one of the title works, Microscope by saying, “Itâ€™s been a long time since science moved beyond what can be seen with the naked eye, and sometimes it feels like the artist got left behind in his studio with his brushes and a lousy microscope.â€

In art, the desire to turn toward something like “realism” in painting might have less to do with reality, and more to do with resolving some very abstract problems in the everyday.

Citygarden and Microscope will be on view at Gallery Diet from May 9th â€“ June 6th, 2009 and will be accompanied by an extensive text written by Tom McGrath from which the quotes for this press release were taken.

About Diet:
Located at 174 NW 23 Street in Miami, Florida Diet represents five emerging and mid-career artists. Dietâ€™s artist roster includes Brian Burkhardt, Charley Friedman, Richard HÃ¶glund, Abby Manock, and Daniel Milewski, whose work is exhibited alongside that of an invitational series of exhibitions by artists from around the world.

David Castillo Gallery: Gallery Projects
Alder Guerrier, Aramis Gutierrez, Quisqueya Henriquez, Susan Lee-Chun, Pepe Mar, Glexis Novoa, Javier PiÃ±Ã³n, Leyden Rodriguez-Casanova, Frances Trombly, Wendy Wischer
David Castillo Gallery
2234 NW 2nd Avenue, Miami
May 9- July 31, 2009
Reception May 9, 7-10 pm

David Castillo Gallery is proud to present Gallery Projects, a group show of new work by gallery artists Adler Guerrier, Aramis Gutierrez, Quisqueya Henriquez, Susan Lee-Chun, Pepe Mar, Glexis Novoa, Javier PiÃ±Ã³n, Leyden Rodriguez- Casanova, Frances Trombly, and Wendy Wischer.

Glexis Novoa continues to develop a meticulous architecture in the realm of socio-political inquiry with a site-specific drawing for Gallery Projects. Novoa establishes a conduit to Pepe Mar’s site- specific installation of twisted multicolor fantasy, as Orwellian in its penchant for escapism as the brutality of Novoa’s lilliputian detail.

Dwelling in Novoa’s cityscape and illuminated by Mar’s Technicolor is the loss of innocence apparent, too, in the slippery circumstance of Aramis Gutierrez’s new oil on canvas. In At the Water Park, a pregnant couple fumbles to recapture the woman’s missing swimsuit top. The moment is one of greater disconnect similar to the everyday instances of racial and ethnic discrepancy elevated by Adler Guerrier as a black flÃ¢neur in his new work on paper.

Startling juxtapositions also exist as the pedestal of 1950’s beauty is shifted in a sinister collaboration between beauty and monstrosity in Javier PiÃ±Ã³n’s Medusa collages, while Quisqueya Henriquez’s collages play with the perceived heightened masculinity of Latin cultures by manipulating symbolic male images.

The simplicity of everyday objects is reassessed through subtle alterations in Leyden Rodriguez- Casanova’s mirrored frame. Frances Trombly examines quality and function through painstaking precision to create the optical illusion of a seemingly typical rope, while Wendy Wischer constructs nature through the delicate skill of utilizing manufactured materials to create a moment of organic serenity. Susan Lee-Chun’s Susersize continues the artist’s theme of redefinition in creating a sculpture referencing exercise equipment and warping standard attention to structure.

David Castillo Gallery is proud to announce its participation at VOLTA5 Art Fair in Basel, Switzerland, June 2009. It also recognizes Leyden Rodriguez- Casanova, a Cintas Fellowship Finalist; as well as Susan Lee-Chun’s acceptance to the artist residency Three Walls in Chicago. In the Fall 2009, work by Aramis Gutierrez, Pepe Mar, and Glexis Novoa will be included in TIME + TEMP: Surveying the shifting climate of current painting in South Florida at the Art and Culture Center of Hollywood, FL. Work by Quisqueya Henriquez, Pepe Mar, and Javier PiÃ±Ã³n will appear in a book of 21st century collage published in London; and Adler Guerrier’s monograph will be released by Miami’s [NAME] publications. Gallery artists’ work in current exhibitions include Quisqueya Henriquez, Susan Lee-Chun, and Frances Trombly in With You I Want to Live: The Collection of Francie Bishop Good & David Horvitz at the Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale, FL and Wendy Wischer in Bit, Byte, Dot, Spot: Post-digital Art at the Tampa Museum of Art, FL.

New (Groovy)1970’s Themed Art at those Old (very affordable) 1970’s Prices!
NETHERLAND

Artist/ gallery curator David “Netherland” van Alphen lives and works in Chicago, Illinois. Though David’s family was from Holland, he was born in Toronto, and has been in Chicago for the last eight years. Being a child of the 70’s has influenced him greatly and is reflected in most of his work. Juxtaposing images, his color choices and the new modern context comes through his nostalgic imagery and helps to isolate and enhance them. David has shown at many galleries throughout the U.S. and sold out his first solo show last January.

KEN BERNSTEIN

As a baby boomer growing up in the suburbs of Miami, the majority of my childhood was spent in front of a television. I sat on the Florida room floor with a fold out TV tray and a bowl of Cap’n Crunch as the only separation between myself and the television screen. My eye sockets were black holes providing the portal for the right side of my brain to absorb all energy and matter produced by the flicker fusion television transmission of Outer Limits, Adams Family, Star Trek, Man from Uncle, Invaders, Shindig, Batman, 77 Sunset Strip, Time Tunnel, Lost in Space and all the other cult status programing.

Due to long term exposure of the Television’s electro magnetic radiation, I mutated into a robotic space probe. The Voyager 1 of POP, speeding in a solar wind through interstellar space to gather information on popular culture.

Fortunately, I have some ability to translate my information to canvas utilizing the brilliant vivid colors of acrylics, so others can see and feel what I see and feel.

JASON SNYDER

Jason Robert Snyder spent most of his childhood on a farm in Pennsylvania, studying his surroundings and formulating ideas of the world around him. he began transferring his ideas through oil paint while attending the Pennsylvania State University as an Architectural Engineering student. completely self taught, through trial and error in the years since, he has developed his unique style and interpretation of reality to what it is today. in each one of his pieces, he uses vibrant
colors and distorted figures to convey one idea about the human spirit. currently, in addition to fine art, Jason is a custom framer at Carmen’s Gallery and Design Studio in Solomons, Maryland, as well as a freehand pinstriper. Jason resides in Solomons with his wife, Laura; his dog, Leia; and his ’53 Buick.

The Vagabond
you are no one. you are every one.

Saturday 4/25/2009 – The Vagabond presents The Gospel According to The Godfathers of House Music featuring FRANKIE KNUCKLES

As one of the most renowned DJ’s in the world, Frankie Knuckles has been packing dance floors with his unique style for almost 30 years. Penned “The Godfather of House”, he has played a pivotal role in the creation and evolution of ‘House’ music. As a Producer and Re-mixer, he has lent his talents to some of R&B and Pop music’s elite. Artists such as Mary J. Blige, Sounds of Blackness, Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Diana Ross, Luther Vandross and Toni Braxton. Frankie’s production and mixing career was officially recognized by the music industry in 1997. He became the first recipient of a Grammy for “Re-mixer of The Year” and has served as a Governor and Trustee for the NYC chapter of The National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences. On August 25th, 2004 the Mayor of Chicago proclaimed that date “Frankie Knuckles Day” and honored him with a street named “Frankie Knuckles Way”. Perpetually on the forefront of dance music, Frankie’s latest remixes of Hercules and Love Affair’s “Blind” and Depeche Mode’s “Wrong” has energized a new generation of dance floor devotees worldwide.

Timothy Buwalda : Fredric Snitzer Gallery : Opening Reception 4/11/09

Timothy Buwalda
Dislocation
April 11th â€“ May 2nd, 2009

Opening Reception
Saturday April 11th, 2009
7:00 â€“ 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 Timothy Buwaldaâ€™s second solo
exhibition titled Dislocation. Continuing a large format, this new body of paintings
explores themes of voyage and displacement.

In Buwaldaâ€™s work, wrecked cars have been a strong metaphor for
transformation and the potential of becoming. Throughout Dislocation, the
sentiment of change follows through the physical relocation in the paintings from an
industrial setting to woodland. The forest has taken an important role in this new
body of work as natural home and original structure for protection. Buwalda builds
associations with art historical references reinterpreting the idea of â€˜homeâ€™.

Dislocation features a new project by the artist titled A Roof Over My Head.
A life size one bedroom houseâ€™s roof is built and exhibited within the gallery space.
This structure plays with the concepts of architecture and protection referencing the
forest in its function.

Timothy Buwalda was born in West Palm Beach. Buwalda graduated from New
World School of the Arts with highest honors and has exhibited at the Freedom
Tower, Miami, FL and the Fredric Snitzer Gallery, Miami, FL. He currently lives and
works in Miami, FL.

April 11th â€“ May 6th, 2009
Opening Reception: April 11th, 2009 from 7:00 â€“ 11:00 pm

Honoring Arteamericas – Miamiâ€™s premier fair for Latin American art – LURIE KAVACHNINA GALLERY is going to present Arteamericas Part â€œBâ€, a special exhibition that will be an interesting follow up of its participation in the prestigious art fair that took place in the Miami Convention Center, March 27-30. Guests will be able to view stunning sculptures by Jorge Fernandez and paintings by Jorge Vallejos, Luis Garcia Nerey and drawings by Hugo Moro at the gallery located in Miamiâ€™s Wynwood Art District, 46 NW 36 St. The exhibition will start on April 11th with an opening reception from 7:00 to 11:00 pm and will run until May 6th.

Hugo Moro. Master of perfection, Miami based artist with a new body of artworks says about his art : â€œI see a work in my mind, think it through down to minute details in a most obsessive way, I repeatedly envision myself going through every step of construction, conceptual and formal problems are encountered and revisedâ€.

Jorge FernÃ¡ndez celebrates love and the mystery of life in his latest Welcomeâ€¦ sculpture collection. He wants his work to inspire others to do what they love, and maybe even what they have not had the courage to attempt before. . His creations are large in scale, 10 â€“ 20 feet tall, and are made of first grade 304 L stainless steel. A delicate proposition of a poetic inspiration and calculated balance is involved in the creation of his monumental sculptures.

Luis GarcÃa Nerey tries to manifest his own personal view of the Self, with its need for construction via human action and interaction, and the everyday living and experiencing.

Jorge Vallejos transmits clearly the intimate feeling of an anxious spirit in search of perfection. He shares with us some aspects of the beautiful philosophical experience to tread the path of the life trying to find out an accomplishment in his art.

O.H.W.O.W. presents Scott Campbell 4/11/09

SCOTT CAMPBELL – MAKE IT RAIN

O.H.W.O.W. proudly presents SCOTT CAMPBELL

Opening April 11, 2009 – In what will be his first major solo presentation of his works, Campbell will showcase his unique aesthetic via sculptures, paintings, drawings and photography. Scott Campbell was born and raised in a fishing camp, perched alongside a muddy bayou in rural Louisiana. With a clever knack for drawing and a fondness of stories, he began his career by doing illustration and assistant editing. Curiosity soon led him to experiment with tattooing and his immediate mastery of the art was undeniable. After a subsequent 18 month stint in Spain honing his craft, he packed up his skills and his tattoo machines and traveled for the next 5 years taking inspiration from the art and folklore of tattoo cultures all over the world.

In 2004, he opened Saved Tattoo in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Since then, it has grown to be the East Coast’s premier tattoo shop with a devout following of celebrity clientele. Campbell has the taken the blue collar grit and lore of tattoo culture and extracted a visual language and wit that are supremely refined and deliberate. He has an uncanny ability to tell a story with any medium, flesh or otherwise.

Recently, Campbell has been featured in group exhibitions at the IIleana Tounta Contemporary Art Centre in Greece, the Massimo Carasi gallery in Milan, Italy, Colette in France, Moeller Snow Gallery in New York, and O.H.W.O.W. in Miami during Art Basel Miami Beach.

ABOUT O.H.W.O.W.: Aaron Bondaroff and Al Moran’s Our House West of Wynwood (O.H.W.O.W.) is Miami’s most exciting high profile art space. Designed by Rafael de Cardenas of Architecture at Large, the venue features prominent international and U.S. based experimental art as well as innovative contemporary art forms through an alternative cross-disciplinary perspective.

Sonya Blesofsky New Work Opening at Gallery Diet 4/11/09

Posted on April 7, 2009 by none

Sonya Blesofsky
New Work
April 11th â€“ May 2nd, 2009
Opening Reception April 11th 7 â€“ 10 p.m.

Sonya Blesofsky is a sculptor and installation artist living in Brooklyn, New York. Her work is comprised of predominantly destructible, fragile materials that are warped to re-create various architectural elements. In New Work, Sonya will draw from the galleryâ€™s immediate surroundings. The installation will address the ways in which people and businesses in Wynwood build structures to protect themselves and their possessions. The installation will contain barbed wire atop chain-link fence, window bars and front door gates, a tangle of electrical cables sprouting from a wall, caged and locked light fixtures and air-conditioning units, cinder blocks, and wooden palettes. Each element of this ghostly installation will be life-size, and made entirely of paper, glue and tape.

Sonyaâ€™s work has been exhibited previously at Mixed Greens, Smack Mellon, the Islip Art Museum, the Dieu Donne Papermill, and various other institutions around the country. She has participated in residencies at the CUE Art Foundation, Dieu Donne Papermill, and Plane Space. Artforum online declared her the â€œcritics pickâ€ as did The Village Voice, her work has also been written about in the San Franciesco Chronicle, NYFA Current, and the Bloomberg News.

About Diet: Located at 174 NW 23 Street in Miami, Florida Diet represents five emerging and midcareer artists. Dietâ€™s artist roster includes Brian Burkhardt, Charley Friedman, Richard HÃ¶glund, Abby Manock, and Daniel Milewski. The work of these five artists is exhibited alongside that of an invitational program of artists from around the world.

Love Stories_Exhibit by Claude GUENARD at Hardcore Art Space 4/11/09

Posted on April 6, 2009April 6, 2009 by none

Opening April 11th, 2009,

HACS presents “LOVE STORIES” in collaboration with the CCE and a solo exhibition by French artist Claude Guenard.

Hardcore Art Contemporary Space is honored to collaborate with the Spanish Cultural Center (CCE), the Spanish Agency of International Cooperation for Development (AECID), the VISIBLE Collection and Gay Pride Celebration in Miami, in the effort to promote Human Rights and equality for all human beings through art. HACS will proudly be opening “Love Stories” from the VISIBLE collection with a gallery walk by Pablo Peinado, curator of the collection, prior to the reception and launch party at 7pm.

Opening event will also present a performance by Queen Cabaret with DJ Kiki and an after party at Vlada Bar in Wynwood.

HACS will also host a seminar on Queer Literature in conjunction with the University of Miami (UM) April 29th. Claude Guenard will show his wildly erotic drawings and mixed media work. He thrives in showing what others don’t dare to show, a certain sexuality that seems to drive the world but is kept under wrap in our Judeo/ Christian societies. His work is sometimes dominated by the sexual tension between sex and church, the tension between the forbidden and the inevitable. A description in his own words, “I topple the values of representation and I create an interaction between words, drawing and the model. I whole-heartedly abuse the voyeurism of art buffs who only think about loving my drawings.”

Reception April 11, 7-10 pm

David Castillo Gallery is pleased to present Allow me to re-introduce myself, a group show with works by Rakel Bernie, Daniel Crews, Adler Guerrier, T. Eliott Mansa, Adria Marquez, and Aramis ‘Reilly.

As contemporary art practice begs a cyclical understanding of culture, aesthetics, and politics, so too, does a life well lived. The curatorial act introduces and re-contextualizes artwork even as artists ebb and flow in the pursuit of their careers and development as human beings. Allow me to re-introduce myself espouses art and life in self-perpetuating mimicry at its best. The artists’ works advise Poor Richard that the path to enlightenment is circuitous rather than straight.

Rakel Bernie, Adler Gutierrez, T. Eliott Mansa, and Adria Marquez endow historic content with personal sentiment. Bernie’s works of collage, graphite, watercolor, and acrylic on mylar explore the dependencies between birds, femininity, and landscape in Scandinavian mythology. Mansa deconstructs the subjects of his oil-on-canvas portraits according to familial and racial histories and their relationships to the future. The language of socio- political revolutions and protests is given a face by Guerrier’s drawing and sculpture. Marquez’s Mop series transforms materials, such as cleaning supplies, associated with working-class professions and generic tasks into highbrow art objects, implying the duality of process, class relations, and gender.

Daniel Crews and Aramis O’Reilly bring waking consistency to aesthetics like dreams remembered. Crews’ abstractions engage formalist inquiries into the structure and formation of invented and non-specific language. O’Reilly’s understanding of the language of painting as a medium allows for the evolution of narrative in his palettes and mark-making.

Adler Guerrier was born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti and studied at the New World School of the Arts in Miami, where he lives and works. He has exhibited at the Miami Art Museum and The Whitney Biennial 2008. His works can be found in public collections including the Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami, and the Studio Museum in Harlem, NYC, and have appeared in Art In America and the New York Times.

Rakel Bernie has exhibited throughout the United States. Daniel Crews studied at New World School of the Arts, Miami, and Hunter College, NYC, where he currently lives and works. T. Eliott Mansa attended the Maryland Institute College of Art, Baltimore. He lives and works in Miami. Adria Marquez attended Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY. Her work has been shown in the US and internationally. Aramis O’Reilly lives and works in Miami where he teaches at New World School of the Arts.

In the David Castillo Annex, Leyden Rodriguez-Casanova presents a site-specific installation, A Night Light.

Entering the David Castillo Annex, one encounters the radius of a single nightlight in the gallery’s far corner and the weight of darkened negative space. Forced to adjust physically to the sharp contrast between a gallery’s expected luminosity and A Night Light, the viewer must also confront their psychological fear of blindness as it relates to personal direction, relationships, and self-awareness. The installation speaks to the private confines of the viewer illuminated by the darkness.

Leyden Rodriguez-Casanova lives and works in Miami. He studied at the Ringling School of Art and Design, Sarasota, FL and the New World School of the Arts, Miami. Rodriguez-Casanova was the recipient of a 2007 Reed Foundation Fellowship at the Vermont Studio Center and has received prestigious awards including the South Florida Cultural Consortium. He has exhibited in Miami and New York, and his work has been featured in publications such as The Miami Herald, Artnet Magazine, and Art in America.

New York City photographer Richie Fahey paints on his pictures in a cold water flat, surrounded by his inspiration: a towering collection of 1930s-1960s musty paperbacks and detective pulp. With the help of a postwar hobbyist’s manual, Photo Oil Coloring for Fun and Profit, he learned to transform black and white photographs into glorious color by dabbling with pigments on snapshots from the ’40s.

Fahey’s Technicolor-like style evokes lobby cards in old movie houses, covers of dimestore novels and star portraits in fan magazines like Screen and Photoplay. In defining his style, Fahey is inspired by the posed photographs from detective magazines, cinematographers of the 1940’s-50’s like John Alton, portrait photographers such as George Hurrell, and painters and illustrators like Leeteg and James Avanti.

In creating his images, Fahey plays with the noir stereotype of beautiful women gone bad and the men who love them. He is painstaking about stylistic detail. Convincing art direction, combined with vintage lighting techniques and hand coloring conspire to create alluring, ambiguous works. The viewer’s inability to pinpoint the exact time frame in which a Fahey photograph was taken, lends a certain timelessness to the artist’s work.

Fahey has created book cover art for PENGUIN, SCRIBNER, WARNER BOOKS, VINTAGE, ST. MARTIN’S PRESS, KNOPF and SIMON & SCHUSTER. Other commercial clients include SONY RECORDS, ADOBE THEATRE CO. and SPOT DESIGN. His editorial clients have included SPORTS ILLUSTRATED, GOTHAM, BUST, ATOMIC and FLATIRON magazines. Fahey produced and co-designed the cover art for the reissued James Bond novels.

Fahey has been featured in JUXTAPOSE art magazine, CAMERA ARTS, YELLOW RAT BASTARD and GARAGE. His work has been shown at the Robin Rice Gallery in New York City’s Greenwich Village . His 2004 pinup calendar, Women in Crime, slyly depicts gorgeous women caught in the act of committing various amusing felonies.
