Networking Tip:
The Goal of networking should be to help people. It would be great if they helped you as well, but networking is a two-way street. Your part is about helping others, not asking them to help you. Asking for leads or favors should only become a possibility once you have learned more about the person and provided value to them.

Multi-day fair pass for Aqua Art Miami, Art Miami and Context $70
"Aqua embraces emerging talent, acting as an incubator for Context and Art Miami, and introducing collectors and curators to fresh faces whose exciting work complements the pieces by more established artists that they are already displaying," says Nick Korniloff, Director of Art Miami LLC. "We can now provide our loyal international collector base with opportunities to acquire works of art at the highest level from all categories of the contemporary market."
Aqua also gives Art Miami a foothold on the beach, conveniently serving art collectors, professionals and enthusiasts on both sides of the Intracoastal Waterway, connected by shuttle buses and multiple-day passes for entrance to all three fairs.
Across the water, the intimate rooms overlooking the Art Deco courtyard of the Aqua Hotel will be transformed by 47 exhibitors, including galleries, artist projects, an educational institution, and winners of the ArtSlant Prize. A widely respected online magazine and network for contemporary art, ArtSlant is holding a yearlong contest to choose several artists from an open call narrowed down by an international panel of art world luminaries. A media lounge will greet visitors to Aqua, and curatorial interventions will confront them at unexpected turns.
The opening of Aqua Art Miami has become the traditional Wednesday destination of influential collectors and art professionals who migrate en masse from Art Basel Miami Beach’s Vernissage at the Convention Center a short walk away. The lively atmosphere encourages many to linger late in the hotel’s inviting open spaces – and this Dec. 4 will be even more festive with entertaining surprises in store.

Art Miami Expands Reach And Artistic Range With A Trio Of Fairs During Miami Art Week, December 2013
Miami’s Original Art Fair Unveils Its First Production of Aqua Art Miami at South Beach Hotel and Its Second Edition of Context
Art Miami, the city’s longest-running contemporary and modern art fair, will return for its 24thedition during Art Week, Dec. 3 through Dec. 8, 2013. The anchor fair for the City of Miami has expanded to include two additional contemporary art fairs: Context in a 45,000-square-foot pavilion adjacent to Art Miami in the Wynwood Arts District; and Aqua Art Miami at the Aqua Hotel on Collins Avenue in South Beach.
World-renowned for its refined ambience, consummate quality and accessible fdiversity, Art Miami now encompasses all levels of the international contemporary art market: from the modern masterpieces and blue-chip contemporary works at Art Miami, to the cutting-edge pieces by rising and mid-career talents at Context, as well as the latest output from emerging artists ripe for discovery at Aqua Art Miami. The purchase of eight-year-old Aqua during Art Week 2012 brought the perennially popular satellite into the fold of Art Miami LLC, which is retaining Aqua’s relaxed, youthful vibe while providing the amenities, infrastructure and collector base that have become signatures of its other fairs.
On the mainland at the Midtown Miami complex, the juxtaposition of 125 galleries at Art Miami with 65 at Context – hailing from 15 countries in the Americas, Europe and Asia, as well as from all around the United States – forms a comprehensive art community spanning 250,000 square feet. The 2012 debut of this world-class pairing in the Wynwood Arts District attracted a record-breaking 60,000 visitors and generated sales of more than $50 million.
Art Miami and Context will present a series of special exhibitions curated by Julia Draganović, Elena Forin and Claudia Löffelholz of LaRete Art Projects. Check Out will install captivating and provocative sculptures, displayed by selected exhibitors, in prime positions inside as well as outside, between and in front of, the neighboring pavilions. Think Big will give artists participating in Art Miami space to stretch out in the passageways linking the flagship fair’s three main pavilions, making solo statements bold not only in scale but also in vision and innovation.
Zoom In, the sixth annual Art Video | New Media Lounge, now located at Context, will focus on a single institution specializing in digital and moving images. Five galleries will also be invited to screen video works by artists that LaRete believes warrant a closer look. An independent jury of video art experts will view the pieces onsite and choose one artist to honor with the first annual Zoom In Award on Saturday, Dec. 7.
Context will once again offer insight into Berlin’s influential art scene with six contemporary galleries selected by a panel of expert curators and art critics. ART FROM BERLIN is presented by the Galleries Association of Berlin (LVBG) – with official support from the municipality of Berlin and the European Union (EU) – which will entertain and enlighten guests at the Berlin Lounge. This microcosm of the global art capital’s dynamic gallery community will include a cross-section of established and emerging exhibitors, each spotlighting two or three artists.
Art Miami and CONTEXT will kick off Art Week on Tuesday, Dec. 3, with the annual must-see VIP Preview, attended by 11,000 art connoisseurs last year. The beneficiary will once again be the Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM), opening concurrently in a grand new Herzog & de Meuron-designed building on the downtown waterfront. This exclusive evening will serve as the first opportunity for discerning collectors to acquire the most coveted works of art available from the 20th and 21st centuries a day before the fairs open to the general public.

Former Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital Patient and Cancer Survivor Headlines Riff Rockit, a “Kindie Rock: Band
Sunday, 09/29/2013 – 03:00 pm –
Revolution LIVE
100 SW 3 Avenue,
Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33312

Cost: $10
Riff Rockit, one of the most popular performers in the growing musical genre “kindie rock” is coming to South Florida for a special concert to benefit the Love Jen Cancer Fund of Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital Foundation. The high energy performance will take place at Revolution LIVE in Fort Lauderdale on Sunday, September 29 at 3 p.m.
Evan Michael, a.k.a. Riff Rockit, headlines the band which entertains kids and their parents with inspiring songs and positive messages. Born and raised in Fort Lauderdale to musical parents, the singer-songwriter’s love of music began at an early age. Evan was clapping to the beat on his first birthday and by age 10 was jamming on a six-string guitar. At age 15 he was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and underwent intensive chemo treatments at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital. His cancer went into remission. Two years later he relapsed and required a life-saving bone marrow transplant. Music was Evan’s way of coping during this dark and difficult time.
Thanks to the care and treatment Evan received at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, he’s been cancer free since 2001. After this life altering experience, he made a conscious decision to follow his dream. He studied at Boston’s prestigious Berklee College of Music and graduated in 2007. He now lives his passion and tours the country entertaining, inspiring, educating and uplifting children under the alter ego of Riff Rockit.
Located inside the EPIC Hotel in the heart of Downtown Miami, Zuma is one of the most celebrated restaurants in the city. Known for its innovative Japanese cuisine, the restaurant also has one of the best bar programs in town. In this week’s episode, Chat Chow TV sat down with the man behind the bar, Beverage Manager Theo Von Ungern-Sternberg.
The bar program at Zuma, notes Von Ungern-Sternberg, not only utilizes authentic Japanese equipment to prepare the drinks, but also uses influences from the restaurant’s kitchen to come up with their creative cocktails.
“A lot of the techniques were perfected in the kitchen and spread into the bar,†says Von Ungern-Sternberg. “For instance, the foam that we’re using here was born in the pastry kitchen.â€
The restaurant also boats an on-site lab where they perfect their cocktails, an impressive assortment of shochu – an authentic distilled spirit from Japan – and a licensed sake sommelier on staff.
“In fact, all the assistant managers and above you find at the restaurant at the moment are licensed sake navigators.†Von Ungern-Sternberg adds.

Chef Lindsay describes her cuisine as “Southern soul meets world,†a combination of nostalgic favorites and Mediterranean flavors.

Miguel Rodez Art Project presents Drawing Exploration II

Miguel Rodez Art Projects is pleased to present the second iteration of it’s focus on the drawing medium. The gallery’s initial show Drawn from Within was a huge success when it was unveiled in September 2012. The 2013 version contrasts techniques and styles that offer huge conceptual diversity within the gallery’s space. Curating such a show is no easy task; you will be the judge who will mercilessly deliver the verdict with a thumbs up or down. There is no in-between here.
As the previous show, Drawing Exploration II explores the versatility of the drawing medium and features works in graphite, ink and charcoal. Some of the pieces offered are huge works while others are huge only in their impact.
Elegant fluid lines guide the viewers through vortexes of the dynamic work of one artist. These are contrasted against somber thought-provoking pieces with a more spiritual spin. A refined organic morphism piece is bound to draw attention to itself. Other pieces take on the challenge of portraiture. Henry Flagler, for example, gets a contemporary makeover by one artist who treated one of Florida’s most famous pioneers to a gentle doze of deconstruction, while another work treats the viewer to the impeccable refinement of classic academic technique.
Drawing Exploration II takes place at Miguel Rodez Art Projects space during the award-winning Bird Road Art Walk, which is held the 3rd Saturday of each month, just east of Tropical Park. Open to the public every third Saturday of the month in this Historic Art District.

Chef Adrianne Calvo Dark Dining Eyes Wide Shut Masquerade Ball Event
Friday, September 20, 2013
Coral Gables Country Club
990 Alhambra Circle
Coral Gables, Florida
Chef Adrianne Calvo, the innovating Miami, Florida-based culinary artist who has forged a formidable reputation in the area’s restaurant scene, is pleased to announce the very first Dark Dining event to take place outside of the charming confines of her eponymous and critically acclaimed eatery. The Dark Dining Eyes Wide Shut Masquerade Ball, a formal gala event that will serve to contribute to one of the most established pediatric charitable causes in the country.
Long considered one of Miami-Dade County’s preeminent venues for social and charity events, the Coral Gables Country Club was selected as a location capable of offering the ideal combination of elegance and style in which to commemorate what promises to be a momentous evening. A portion of all proceeds from the proceedings will benefit Chef Adrianne’s Make It Count Foundation and St. Jude’s Children’s and Research Hospital.
The Dark Dining format, which entails that participants remain fully blindfolded in a particularly dimly lit setting to heighten their enjoyment of a multiple course meal, was initially established as a social trend in Europe. Beginning in September 2009, Chef Adrianne became the pioneer of the Dark Dining phenomenon in the South Florida culinary scene by hosting three like-themed events at her Vineyard Restaurant and Wine Bar that fall. Previously, Dark Dining events had been implemented in several major U.S. cities, but Miami had remained an untapped market. Always willing to embrace the new and unique in the culinary field, Chef Adrianne and her staff have progressively established the Dark Dining concept over the last 4 years as a required experience for food aficionados in South Florida.
“We’ve been extremely pleased with the ambiance and energy that each of our previous Dark Dining nights has infused into our restaurant,†commented Chef Adrianne. “When the opportunity was presented to leverage its increasing popularity to raise the profile of a cause as important as St. Jude’s, it became our mission to take this unique experience to the next level.â€
Chef Adrianne has enjoyed a near-decade long relationship with Memphis, Tennessee-based St. Jude’s Children’s and Research Hospital, which serves as the leading private pediatric oncology research institute in the United States. Now in its 51st year of serving pediatric cancer patients and their families, St. Jude’s is staffed by a considerably distinguished and accomplished collection of doctors, nurses, researchers, and support personnel. For the past several years, Chef Adrianne and many of her staff have conducted annual week-long visits to St. Jude’s, during which they attempt to bring comfort and respite to the terminally ill children and their parents and caregivers.
The Dark Dining Eyes Wide Shut Masquerade Ball will enhance the already vivid experience of a conventional Dark Dining event by incorporating live music, costume, and entertainment within a picturesque locale.

Opening Reception for Alberto Baraya and FIU Faculty Exhibitions at the Frost Art Museum 
Wednesday, September 18, 2013, 6:00 – 9:00 p.m.
The Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum,
10975 SW 17th Street
Miami, FL 33199
Admission: Free
The Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum at FIU opens its fall 2013 season with renowned Colombian artist Alberto Baraya’s Naturalism/Artificiality: Expeditions, and Research of the Herbarium of Artificial Plants, and exhibitions of the works of two FIU faculty members, Michael Namkung and Pip Brant. An opening reception for all of these exhibits will be held at the Museum on Wednesday, September 18, from 6 to 9 pm. Refreshments will be served and the reception is open to the public and free of charge.
Alberto Baraya:
For more than a decade, Colombian artist Alberto Baraya has produced works of art which question and parody the agendas and empirical objectivity of seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth-century European expeditions that purported to scientifically collect and quantify the indigenous flora, fauna and peoples of the Americas. His exhibition presents his findings and projects based on travels to Acre, Bogotá, Gainesville, Indianapolis, Long Beach and Machu Picchu, and includes selected works from the series Herbarium of Artificial Plants, The Fable of the Birds, and Anthropometries.
In his Herbarium of Artificial Plants, Baraya uses found objects such as silk, plastic or glass flowers and leaves, to create beautiful taxonomies. Science and art are combined with drawings and annotations related to his research, as well as to the social and political implications of his findings. Perhaps the most ambitious project of the Herbarium series is the Latex Tree, originally produced for the 27th São Paulo Biennial. The outer layer of the latex tree was peeled off from the man-produced tree and exhibited during the Biennial. In addition to presenting a visually striking piece, the project provided a commentary on the exploitation of rubber in nineteenth-century Brazil. The Fable of the Birds features photographs of stuffed birds, typical of the Americas, leading the viewer to different ways of contemplating controlled landscapes: the landscape of dissected and stuffed birds as a scientific instrument and their relationship to the landscape of their natural habitat. Anthropometries focuses on anthropometry, a tool for early physical anthropology that was used to identify and understand the human and physical variations and to correlate these characteristics to ethnic and racial factors. In these works, Baraya revises not only the archaeological exploration of Machu Picchu, but proposes a reflection on the idea of "discovery" of a culture by the hands of another, having his measurements taken with an anthropometric caliper by natives and tourists from all over the world. Baraya’s exhibition, curated by Francine Birbragher, will run through January 5, 2014. It is part of the Frost Art Museum’s 2013 series of exhibitions: Commemorating 500 Years: Spain-Florida-Caribbean.
Faculty Show
Recording people or events, personal or historic, has typically been done through photography and/or sketching or painting, where the aim is to capture an instant in time that can be looked back on over the passing years so that future generations can see exactly what certain things, events and people looked like at a given point in time. Two Florida International University faculty members have, however, come up with their own unique, individual approaches to depicting and commemorating different stages of life: infancy (the beginning of life) and war (often the last stage of life). Their art will be on display at the Frost Art Museum through October 13.
Michael Namkung, 2013, 2. Results suggest that the umbilical cord cutting experience benefits the father’s emotional involvement with the neonate, 10/18/12, 11 weeks, 12 minutes, Courtesy of the Artist
Michael Namkung is an Assistant Professor, in FIU’s Department of Art + Art History, and describes himself as "an interdisciplinary artist who works in physical exercise, drawing, performance, video, installation and social practice." Namkung’s Baby Pictures and the People’s Lullaby Collective is an art exhibition about babyhood and parenting that involves a series of 26 baby pictures, a multilingual lullaby collection, the world’s largest foam alphabet floor, and a program of unique drawing activities for babies, toddlers and their caregivers. Baby Pictures is a display of images created from a drawing system that recorded the physical movements of Namkung’s newborn son on the floor. Resembling inkblots more than photographs, these Baby Pictures represent a father’s effort to capture an image of a human condition that is constantly disappearing.
The People’s Lullaby Collective part of the exhibition is a social art project and a unique opportunity for the public to become a vital part of creating an artwork. Participation is easy; simply use the voice recorder on your smart phone to capture the lullabies sung to your infant or toddler when the child is put to sleep at night. Then, text or email the recording to michaelnamkung@gmail.com (by no later than Friday, September 13). The idea is not to make a perfect recording, but to collect the sounds of the lullaby-singing process as it naturally occurs. According to Namkung, "By sharing this ritual, you document the intimacy shared with your child, give voice to the complex emotions that come with the job of raising children, and honor the work that caregivers do. This is a call to mothers, fathers, grandparents, and caregivers of any kind, in a ny language." The final part of the exhibition, This is Where Meaning is Made, is another opportunity for interactive parent/caregiver-infant/toddler experiences. Namkung will install a 900-square-foot interlocking foam alphabet tile mat that will cover the entire gallery floor. "This will activate the ground plane, and allow parents to easily put their children down to play on, and with, the floor," he said. "Finally, I am inviting parents to bring their baby or toddler to the gallery on three Saturdays during the exhibition (September 21 and 28, and October 12), from 10:00 am-noon, for a special drawing activity that is a combination of drawing and physical exercise called Drawing Gym. Toddlers can make drawings while doing wall sits, inchworms, and vertical jumps; for pre-crawlers, I will help your newborn or infant make his or her own tummy-time drawings."
Pip Brant, Little Big Horn, 2013, Oil and acrylic, 32 x 61 inches, Courtesy of the Artist
Pip Brant is an Associate Professor in the Department of Art & Art History, and her exhibition, Re-enactments, presents a collection of her paintings and embroidery which offers an alternative to recreations of historical events through re-enactments of famous battles or war in general, or their depiction through conventional photography, paintings and embroidery. While conceding that re-enactments and more conventional art are important and popular means of capturing and replicating history, Brant notes that, "Even though there are attempts at authenticity, this is an impossible task. A degrading of the actual battles happens. Political correctness can further pollute the forgotten truths. With my works, I am trying to decompose these events even more, with the removal and color conversions of visual information. The question I want to play with has to do with color switches and abstractions that sweeten the gory truths usually romanticized by traditional panor amic historical painting and embroidery. I want to see color convey the content."
Also opening on September 18 at the Frost Art Museum, in its Wolfsonian Teaching Gallery, is Crisis and Commerce: World’s Fairs of the 1930s.

It contains “Fantasie†from Verdi’s operas, composed in the 19th century by Italian important composers, sometimes Verdi’s friends and coworkers. These pieces, gifts, and celebrations to the greatness of the composer were lying forgotten and without an editor in world libraries. Thanks to the Camersiti della Scala, they are now discovered and played for the first time in our modern times. Viva Verdi!
The live classical performance will take place on the night of the grand opening and the exhibition will be on display until November 20th, 2013.

“Fiber Optics†is a comprehensive group exhibition of 40 emerging artists that exemplify fresh, innovative approaches to “fiber art.†These artists have reinvented traditional craft processes such as embroidery, crochet, knitting, weaving, sewing, and quilting. Rather than follow prescribed methods, they merge traditional craft with sculpture, installation, and video art; and utilize unexpected materials that transcend their banal origins with integral symbolism. Though the approaches are unconventional, technique, precision, and aesthetic appeal are still at the core of their processes.

Dear MFYH Foundation friends,
As you’ve been showing your support at our last anniversary, I reach out to you again to confirm if you would like to support us again this year. As you will see, this year our event has been designed differently, much smaller but more exclusive and upscale paying attention to detail for a higher impact. This year only 75 guests will be able to attend but all of them committed to support our cause.
As you know, after 12 years in business, my passion for music brought me to Miami 4 years ago and ultimately I discovered that I had a bigger mission than my own dream so October 5th,2010 I founded Music For Your Heart Foundation, a 501c3 non-profit organization to provide instruments and music education to the kids around the world.
Next Sunday, October 6th 2013, we will be celebrating our 3rd Anniversary at the charming boutique hotel “The Cadet†for a maximum of 75 exclusive guests that would have purchased their ticket online ($90) or at the door ($125). Any contribution will be 100% Tax deductible.
The event will start at 7pm at a beautiful and elegant outside patio where we will be greeting our guests with Stacole Fine Wines and Hipnotiq Liquor and champagne accompanied by delicatessen hors-d’oeuvres offered by the number 1 Zagat Gourmet rated fine restaurant “Pied-à -Terreâ€.
After a brief message, we will ask our guests to step inside for our talent performances that will then lead us to a nicely conducted live auction of the products and services that have been kindly donated to raise funds for the cause.
We are looking for individuals/companies willing to help us make this happen. If you know anybody interested in our sponsorship options or donations for our live auction, please contact us now. We can proudly say that not only private companies like Coca-Cola, Saks 5th Ave, Marlins, etc…are supporting our mission but also our local government.
We sincerely appreciate your support!
