Come and learn about the new Public Space Challenge and how it is a part of the Our Miami initiative, which is shaping Miami’s future by working to retain young talent in Miami.
RSVP by July 30 at miamifoundation.org/ourmiamirsvp and receive a complimentary cocktail and entry.
The Miami Foundation will host up-and-coming young talent, local change-agents and engaged Miamians at their kickoff event for two new projects: the Public Space Challenge and a talent retention project. The reception will take place on Wednesday, July 31, 6 – 8 p.m. at The Stage Miami, located in the heart of the Design District at 170 NE 38th Street Miami, FL 33137. Entry is complimentary with RSVP and open to the public. Attendees may RSVP at miamifoundation.org/ourmiamirsvp and connect with other attendees on Facebook.
Both programs are part of the Foundation’s Our Miami initiative, which fosters community by building attachment to the city, developing public spaces and retaining young talent in Miami.
“Our Miami uses research from our Soul of the Community Study that clearly shows attracting and retaining young, talented and creative people in Greater Miami will grow the economy faster than other more traditional measures of economic development,†said Javier Alberto Soto, president and CEO of The Miami Foundation. “The initiative’s programs are excellent opportunities for anyone who is passionate about building a greater Miami and want to get involved in making it happen.â€
The Miami Foundation developed a county-wide challenge to uncover the best ideas for creating and improving local public spaces: parks, libraries, public buildings, markets, plazas, playgrounds or any place where people can convene and connect. Ideas can be submitted from anyone, including individuals, groups, for-profit companies and nonprofit organizations. Community experts and professional placemakers will identify the top ideas; The Miami Foundation will invest $100,000 to make the ideas become reality.
In addition to the Public Space Challenge, the foundation will also launch a talent retention project and Web survey. The online tool measures an individual’s “attachment†to Greater Miami and provides the participant suggestions about how to become more engaged where they live. Results will be made available to community stakeholders to help guide talent retention efforts. The tool is based on research from a Georgetown University study and has been instrumental in reducing year-over-year employee turnover at Fortune 50 companies.
“Miami has the eighth-highest percentage of college students per capita in the U.S. and one of the highest flight rates of those students once they graduate,†continued Soto. “It is incumbent on us to develop, attract and retain the best and brightest here in Miami – our future depends on it.â€
About The Miami Foundation: Established in 1967, The Miami Foundation has helped hundreds of people create powerful legacies by establishing custom, charitable Funds. More than $150 million in grants and scholarships has been awarded in the Foundation’s history. Today, the Foundation stewards more than $160 million in charitable assets. Through its Our Miami initiative, the Foundation positions Miami as a premier place for young talent to live, work, connect and engage.

In Summer Crush, MANO’s beach-goers evoke a sense of nostalgia and memories of more innocent times when White Castle burgers, hot mustangs, and cruising the board walk were the essentials for a perfect summer or was it a summer crush that made everything seem perfect. it’s also the memory of White Castle burgers, hot mustangs, cruising the board walk or maybe it was a summer crush that made everything seem perfect.

Located in the hip new South Beach neighborhood, Sunset Harbor, the Brooklyn import Lucali is serving up delicious, classic, paper-thin-crust pizzas that have quickly gained a cult following throughout the city.
Sitting down with owner Marc Iacono, Chat Chow TV learned the some of the secrets to his famous pies, why he started in the pizza making business, and some of the challenges he faced bringing the popular restaurant to South Florida.
“Everybody was talking the water, the water, the water, and you know, I’ve had some good pizzas down here,†says Iacono, addressing some of the hesitations he faced. “I was like it’s not the water, it’s the humidity, so we just had to make a few adjustments to the dough.â€
Unlike many traditional pizzerias, the pizza at Lucali is made by candlelight, with the dough rolled out by empty wine bottles, and cooked one at a time in a wood-burning oven. The extra-large pies are hailed for their simplicity, using only the best ingredients such as imported Italian cheeses and a tomato sauce worthy of writing home about.
While Iacono wouldn’t divulge his famous pizza sauce recipe, he did share one tip – cooking the sauce, which gives it a different flavor profile than its raw counterparts seen at most establishments.
Pizzas aren’t the only thing that you can find on the Lucali menu. One hidden gem guests can enjoy is the calzone, filled with five different cheeses and served with mounds of fresh basil and a large bowl of his pizza sauce for dipping.
Curious what inspired Iacono to get into the pizza making business? Hint: it has to do with English muffins. Or wonder what his favorite pizza toppings are? Find out all that in more in the video above.

The Go-Go’s at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek

Coconut Creek, Florida 33073

Cost: $35, $45 and $55
The much loved all-girl pop pioneers The Go-Go’s will bring beauty, the beat and beyond to the Pavilion at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek on Saturday, September 28 at 8 p.m. Tickets go on sale on Sunday, July 28.
From their halcyon days as America’s sweethearts to their current status as superstars who pioneered a genre, The Go-Go’s have enjoyed an amazing three-decade reign as high pop priestesses. The internationally-loved hitmakers helped cement the foundation of the early ‘80s pop-rock sound without the aid of outside composers, session players or, most importantly, creative compromise. From their very first show, the group sang and played their own songs, offering five feisty role models for a generation of ready-to-rock girls and good, hooky fun for pop-loving guys.
For The Go-Go’s, their story truly is a punk version of the American Dream. The Go-Go’s debuted in May of 1978, a time when there were other all-female bands, but ones orchestrated by men such as Phil Spector, Kim Fowley or Sonny Bono. The band was conceived in the very same gritty glitter of the rough Los Angeles scene that also birthed X, The Germs, and The Weirdos. By ’79, the Go-Go’s were beating their path to stardom on their own terms. They played every cool club and party in Los Angeles and released an early version of “We Got the Beat†through the quirky Stiff Records in the UK.
By 1981, the band was signed to upstart new wave haven IRS records with Beauty and The Beat, and the infectious debut U.S. single, “Our Lips Are Sealed,†was released. The double-platinum Beauty and The Beat reached #1 and was followed-up by Vacation in ‘82 and Talk Show in ’84. During those years, hits like “Vacation,†“Head Over Heels†and “Turn to You†dominated the airwaves and, today, continue to live on in countless compilations, movie soundtracks, remakes and television commercials.

Colombian chef, Rafael Suarez, arrived to Miami from Bogota, Colombia to present some of his favorite dishes during his one week official and exclusive visit as guest chef at the InterContinental’s Armillary Grill Restaurant, where he will prepare delectable specialties from various regions of Colombia.
 The event will take place during the week of July 15th and finalize with a decadent Sunday brunch on July 21st in honor of Colombia’s Independence Day celebration.
 Chef Suarez has over 13 years of experience in the hospitality industry and is currently the Executive Chef at JW Marriott in Bogota, Colombia.Â
 Soul of Miami scooped up an interview with the gastronomical expert to learn more about his scrumptious creations.
 The interview is in its original language below.
2013 – (Doral, Florida) – Interview:
Chef Rafael Suarez, it’s a pleasure meeting you. Tell us a little bit about the menu and some of the dishes we can expect to find during the event, which will be offered as a buffet during the week, a dinner on Saturday and a brunch on Sunday.
The menu is typical, encompassing the vast majority of dishes throughout Colombia. It will be served as a buffet every night, Saturday will be a set menu served with the same concept of touring much of the cuisine throughout Colombia, and for brunch, a typical breakfast serving bread soup, beans, broth and Colombian-style stew.
What inspired you to create this menu specifically?
The wide range of products from Colombia, and the fact that many Colombians live in Miami, which is the reason why the cuisine is known but not varied.
Â
What Colombian traditions are incorporated in the menu?
Pork from Tolima, Stew from Huila, Stew from the coast, fish from Tumaco and other homemade-style dishes.
What impression do you wish to leave on those who will be trying your creations? And what do you expect your guests to learn about your customs and Colombian regional cuisine?
I want them to be gastronomically satisfied, leaving the restaurant happy and filled with memories and new flavors. They can learn to combine the products that are available in the local Miami markets in their everyday cooking, as everything that I am using is from here, I have not brought anything from Colombia.
I know you use a healthy approach and typical fresh ingredients from various regions of Colombia, and I know, too, that you specialize in kosher food. Is there any reason why kosher food has caught your attention?
The freshness of fruits and vegetables led me to investigate the subject of kosher cooking mainly for the great deal of demand there is for kosher meals. Additionally, the market is growing in Colombia and very few options are offered to patrons, even though oftentimes they look for typical dishes from their regions, at JW Marriott in Bogota we have been able to achieve a great deal of satisfaction from our guests with our Colombian cuisine where we combine flavors that have allowed us to be leaders in the market already for two years.
Have you been able to incorporate, in some way, the concept kosher food into some of the dishes of your recent culinary creation?
Yes, the secret is in the care and love that is placed into preparing the dishes, one speaks of kosher and some may see it as something terrible, Rabbi Kitchen Cleaning Supervisor!! But knowing and applying all this in real life is simple. It has a lot to do with care, food hygiene and health.
Having worked for large international hotel chains, do you think that this may have influenced you to create new and exciting culinary combinations with flavors and ingredients from other countries?
One always worries about having a special international menu, but when I travel I do not want to eat what I eat every day. I want to try new flavors so I ventured to create dishes where the flavor is branded COLOMBIA, but where the presentation and components are of the highest standard, with rich flavor, color and, above all, healthy. In Colombia we really like fatty meals but that we are changing that.
Would you say that this has made you deviate, in a good way, from your Colombian traditions to create a more extensive menu?
It’s not so much that I deviate, is more about changing service concepts without changing the history of a dish, i.e. I cannot make an egg arepa with corn flour and cooked quail egg, I do it with corn flour, whole egg but I incorporate shrimp, fish, turkey, chicken to make it lighter but just as rich.
Â
Thank you very much again for your time. It’s a pleasure to meet you.
Spanish Version
Chef Rafael Suarez, es un placer, para mÃ, poder hacerle esta entrevista: Cuéntenos un poquito acerca del menú y sobre algunos de los platos que podemos esperar encontrar durante el evento, que se ofrecerá en el buffet de la semana, la cena del sábado y el brunch del domingo.
El menú será tÃpico recorriendo la gran mayorÃa de cocinas de Colombia, bufete todas las noches, el sábado será un menú servido con la misma temática de recorrer gran parte de la gastronomÃa Colombiana, y en el brunch, desayuno tÃpico con calentado, sopa de pan, frijoles, caldo y asado estilo colombiano.
¿Qué lo inspiró a crear este menú especÃficamente?
La gran oferta de productos de Colombia, y el hecho de que en Miami viven varios colombianos por lo que la gastronomÃa es conocida pero no variada.
¿Qué tradiciones colombianas ha incorporado en el menú?
Lechona del Tolima, Asado Huilense del Huila, Sancocho Trifásico de la costa, Tapado de pescado del Tumaco y otras muy caseras.
¿Qué impresión espera que se lleve la gente de sus creaciones? Y, ¿Qué espera que aprendan sus comensales acerca de las costumbres y de la cocina regional colombiana?
Que salgan satisfechos gastronómicamente del restaurante y con una felicidad llena de recuerdos y nuevos sabores, y que ellos aprendan a conjugar los productos que se consiguen en los mercados de Miami en su cocina diaria ya que todo es de allá, yo no llevo nada de Colombia.
Sé que utiliza un enfoque saludable con ingredientes frescos y tÃpicos de varias regiones de Colombia, y sé, también, que se especializa en comida kosher. ¿Hay alguna razón por la cual la comida kosher le ha llamado la atención?
Si la frescura de las frutas y vegetales me llevó a indagar el tema kosher por la gran carta que ellos solicitan. Adicionalmente el mercado está creciendo en Colombia y las opciones son muy pocas para ellos, aunque son regionalistas y solo buscan cocina de sus regiones, hemos logrado en JW Marriott Bogotá que con la cocina Colombiana se encuentren muy contentos, y combinamos sabores que han permitido ser lÃderes en el mercado ya por dos años.
¿Ha podido, de alguna manera, incorporar el concepto kosher para preparar algunos de los platos que forma parte de su creación gastronómica?
Si. El tema está en el cuidado y en el amor que se coloca a las preparaciones. Uno habla de kosher y ve eso como algo terrible, Rabino Supervisor Limpieza de cocinas!!!! Pero ya conociendo y aplicando todo en la vida real, es sencillo y solo es de mucho cuidado, mucha higiene y mucho tema de salud.
Habiendo trabajado para grandes cadenas internacionales de hoteles, ¿cree usted que esto le haya influenciado a crear nuevas e interesantes combinaciones gastronómicas con sabores e ingredientes de otros paÃses?
Me colaboro demasiado al ver que siempre uno se preocupa por tener una carta o un menú especial para ellos INTERNACIONAL. Pero yo cuando viajo no quiero comer lo que como todos los dÃas, quiero probar nuevos sabores; por eso me arriesgué a crear platos donde el sabor es marcado COLOMBIA pero su presentación y componentes son de cocina de alto nivel con sabor, color y sobretodo saludable. En Colombia nos gusta mucho la comida rica en grasa pero esto lo estamos cambiando.
 ¿Le ha hecho esto desviarse, de buena forma, de sus raÃces tradicionales colombianas para crear un menú más extenso y universal?
 No es tanto desviarme, es cambiar conceptos de servicio sin ir a cambiar la historia de un plato. Es decir no puedo hacer una arepa de huevo con harina de choclo y huevo de codorniz cocido, la hago con harina de maÃz y huevo entero, pero le incorporamos camarones, pescado, pavo y pollo para que sea más liviana pero igual de rica.
 Muchas gracias, nuevamente, por su tiempo. Es un placer conocerlo.

Lisa Corrao joked about how she recently moved back in to her parents house and now envies the homeless for their dignity. She also compared her vagina to a boat because some people are only friends with her because she has one and it requires thousands of dollars of maintenance and is only used like once a month.
Kirk Meadows who sounds like Mike Tyson’s adorable gay cousin, killed it too. He joked about how he calls his daughter “Misty” because she was a mistake and his daughter calls him “Pop” because that is what happened to the condom. He also joked about how McDonald’s gives their employees one premium parking spot to share but, on a McDonald’s salary, nobody can afford a car.
Lando Leyba was also superb telling a hilarious story about being pulled over by a bicycle cop and was afraid that if he got arrested he would have to ride the handle bars into the station. He also discussed how he got a BJ coupon from his wife for his birthday and how some fools wait, but he cashed that shit in right away.
Our friend, Forrest Shaw was poignantly funny (as usual) discussing how it would be great if the TV shows “Intervention” and “Hoarders” were combined so a crack head would move into a hoarder’s place and clean that travesty of a mess out in a couple weeks. Lets put our resourceful Crackheads to good use.
The show was a riotous laugh and we can’t wait to see all of these guys (and Lisa) again. Good Luck in La-La-Land Forrest. Â Just remember, no matter what the casting guy tells you, you do not have to toss salad to land a gig.
Featuring:
John Wynn (StandupNBC.com, Official Miami Dolphins Comedian)
Forrest Shaw (Ultimate Miami Comedian, Comedy Central)
Lisa Corrao (Talk Soup, Nick Mom)
Lando Leyba (2012 Florida’s Funniest Comedian)
“Brother Freddy†Stebbins (Travel Channel, Universal Studios)
Kirk Meadows (Walgreen’s)
“Labor Days†has been featured in The Huffington Post, Miami New Times, and the Sun-Sentinel, and most recently won top honors for “Best Achievement in Comedyâ€, “Best Ensemble Castâ€, “Best Comedy Writingâ€, and “Best Actor – Forrest Shaw†at the 2013 Los Angeles Web Fest.  This was also Forrest Shaw’s final Florida performance before moving to Los Angeles!
About Labor Days
Labor Days is a comedy series that follows the misadventures of the worst day labor crew in town. In a stroke of monumental bad luck (usually reserved for tv shows), John loses his job, his fiancee’, and his car. Depressed and desperate for money, he decides to join a day labor crew. John soon discovers that working with this wacky crew is far from normal as they tackle the whims of crazy and demanding clients. From cleaning up after a hoarder to sewing campaign t-shirts for an anti-immigration politician, these goofballs will do anything for a buck. This crew is chasing the American Dream one day job at a time.
Labor Days recently screened at the Independent Film Quarterly film festival in Los Angeles and was also accepted into the 2013 Hollyweb Festival.
Labor Days is created by John Wynn and written by Wynn and Forrest Shaw. The series stars John Wynn, Forrest Shaw, Kirk Meadows, Orlando Leyba, and Lisa Corrao.
Labor Days recently won awards at the 2013 LA Webfest for Outstanding Achievements – Comedy Writing and Comedy Web Series.

Mount Gay Rum had a party at the Ritz Carlton in Key Biscayne two nights ago. I was in attendance with one of my friends and bumped into a few notable names. Let’s start with my bosses from Soul of Miami, James and Annette. James only wanted to know if I could be backup with the pics since his camera is on the fritz. I’ve got you covered, James!
No rum event is complete without an appearance by Rob Burr, and this was no exception. Rob let us know that this new Black Barrel Rum was a return to fine Barbados rum from a distiller that has a long history doing just that. Oh, and the rum was really good too.
Hope you like my photos! I love you guys!

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

The Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation (CIFO) is proud to announce Deferred Archive as this year’s Grants & Commissions Program exhibition. As it is customary, the winners are part of the annual exhibition dedicated to the program at the CIFO Art Space. This year’s exhibition will open to the public from August 28th to October 27th.
The tenth edition of CIFO’s Grants & Commissions Program features newly commissioned works by Jorge Mendez Blake (Mexico), Milena Bonilla (Colombia), Miguel Calderon (Mexico), Antonio Caro (Colombia), Benvenuto Chavajay (Guatemala), José Gabriel Fernandez (Venezuela), Sofia Olascoaga (Mexico), Manuela Ribadeneira (Ecuador), Laureana Toledo (Mexico) and Santiago Villanueva (Argentina).
Deferred Archive refers to the idea that memory is constructed retrospectively – not from past to future, but from future to past, so that the events that we experience are not fixed in time, but fleeting from one subject to the other.
In Hal Foster’s Return of the Real, he looks to Freudian theory of deferred action to recover psychoanalysis as a model to understand how we construct the history of avant-garde art. According to Foster, Freud’s theory of deferred action is seen as an event that is recorded as traumatic when a subsequent event retroactively recodes it. Foster, in turn, proposes that the significance of the events of the avant-garde occurs in a similar way by a complex alternation of anticipation and reconstruction. Thus we see what happens when artists work with the idea of the archive. The archive becomes a distinct model in understanding how memory is constructed.
The idea of the deferred archive represents the artist looking back, activating past events and classifying them in order to understand a particular moment, as if revisiting the event with the perspective of today gives it the opportunity to really exist; a type of documentation that allows for memory to be created within the now – or, memory according to a later experience. The artist uses this model as a way of recognizing that memory is always something in the making. By looking to the past, the artists participating in CIFO’s 2013 Grants & Commissions Program are not searching for a memory, but rather creating a memory through documentation/archiving. The act of post-event documentation (or belated documentation) therefore becomes the deferred archive.
“CIFO remains committed to maintaining investment and supporting contemporary artists from Latin America,†said CIFO Founder Ella Fontanals-Cisneros. “In the tenth edition of the Grants & Commissions Program, we are very proud to honor this year’s award recipients who are creating some of the most challenging and innovative work today. These awards serve as a testament to the artists’ skill, creativity and vision.â€
CIFO’s Grants & Commissions Program offers opportunities to up to six emerging and three mid- career contemporary artists from Latin America as well as an annual Achievement award, recognizing the contributions of established artists who would benefit from significant international exposure and recognition. The funds awarded in the Grants and Commissions program are given directly to the selected artists in order to develop their pieces, providing more flexibility for the artist. The artists are nominated each year by CIFO’s Honorary Advisory Committee of leading art professionals, curators and artists from Latin America, the United States, and Europe. After a rigorous review process, the recipients are chosen by the Selection Committee and ratified by CIFO’s Board of Directors. Having already benefitted over a hundred artists during its ten years, the Program has been known to springboard recipients into the next level of their careers.
This year, CIFO has partnered with Cannonball, an Artist Residency based in Downtown Miami, to award one of the artists in the Grants & Commissions Program with a two month residency. CIFO’s Board of Directors selected Benvenuto Chavajay from Guatemala for the residency where he will spend the months leading up to the exhibition focusing on creating his project.
Duvel’s Art Walk series
Saturday, July 13, 2013 5 – 8pm
Gramps
176 NW 24th St
Miami, Florida 33127
www.duvel.com
Less than a year after breaking into the Miami and South Florida marketplace, Duvel’s lighter, draft-only golden ale – Duvel Single, will be the feature beer at this month’s Wynwood Art Walk Beer Garden! The event is part of a new art walk series featuring complimentary Duvel Single and Sparky’s Roadside Barbeque at Gramps Bar. Please RSVP to rsvp@workshopcollective.com.
Duvel Single is the lighter golden ale from Duvel. The secret behind the crisp and complex flavors of Duvel Single is Duvel’s commitment to using only the best quality ingredients, and in the complicated and specific brewing and refermentation process that takes more than three months to complete. Once brewed, the brew master and his staff taste each batch after approximately 30 days. At this stage the beer is called “single-fermented.†The beer has Duvel taste but the alcohol and carbonation are lower and the taste is lighter and crisper.
Duvel Strong Golden Ale is the signature beer of Duvel Moortgat – fourth-generation Belgian brewers. Duvel Moortgat USA, Ltd. imports Duvel Golden Ale, Maredsous Abbey Ales, Chouffe Ales, Liefmans, and DeKoninck Ales and also sells the beers of Brewery Ommegang, Cooperstown NY.

Theatrical Fusion implements improvisational theater techniques to engage audiences and maintain interaction. The program uses the arts as a vehicle for community building, education and social change. Its goal is to provide “edutainment†and help members of the community make choices that will positively impact their lives. Funding for this nonprofit program was made possible through the Love One Another Foundation represented by Cousin’s Law of West Palm Beach.
Twelve performances are now being scheduled ranging from Summer 2013 to Spring 2014, in which participating organizations will have the opportunity to promote their causes. “We bring our actors and plays for free or for a small donation to host sites†Kamysha Martin, Executive Director of ARTfusion Delray, said. “The stage serves a platform for interaction. Each play allows the audience members to be a part of the host’s organization message and/or chime in on the topicâ€. Organizations are being urged to call and reserve a date as soon as possible for Theatrical Fusion booking. “We are very pleased with the reception of this program, but yes, there are still a handful of more opportunities left on the scheduleâ€, says Ms. Martin.
In partnership with the Global Business Development Center, the program is purposely designed to create jobs by hiring local actors, create social change by discussing serious topics, and assist community partners through community outreach. “We are doing a second round actors call, requesting submission and in person auditions are being scheduled,†Martin said. The program also brings in subject matter experts to facilitate discussion on topics including bullying, cyber stalking, domestic violence, teen dating violence, financial education, substance abuse, teen pregnancy prevention, healthy choices, HIV/AIDS, parenting and topics specific to the aging community and their families.

The culinary history of Miami is a reflection of its culture–spicy, vibrant and diverse. And though delectable seafood has always been a staple in South Florida, influences from Latin and Caribbean nations brought zest to the city’s world-renowned cuisine. Even the orange, the state’s most popular fruit, migrated from another country. Join local food author Mandy Baca as she recounts the delicious history of Miami’s delicacies from the Tequesta Indians to the present-day local food revolution.

The Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation – CIFO – Presents Deferred Archives
Sunday, 08/28/2013 – 10/27/2013 10:00 am –
CIFO Space
1018 North Miami Avenue ,
Miami, Florida 33136
More Info Link
Cost: Free Admission
The Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation (CIFO) is proud to announce Deferred Archive as this year’s Grants & Commissions Program exhibit. As it is customary, the winners are part the annual exhibition dedicated to the Program at the CIFO Art Space. This year’s exhibit will open on August 28th.
Deferred Archive refers to the idea that memory is constructed retrospectively – not from past to future, but from future to past, so that events that we experience are not fixed in time, but fleeting from one subject to the other.
In Hal Foster’s Return of the Real, he looks to Freudian theory of deferred action to recover psychoanalysis as a model to understand how we construct the history of avant-garde art. According to Foster, Freud’s theory of deferred action is seen as an event that is recorded as traumatic when a subsequent event retroactively recodes it. Foster, in turn, proposes that the significance of the events of the avant-garde occurs in a similar way by a complex alternation of anticipation and reconstruction. Thus we see what happens when artists work with the idea of the archive. The archive is a distinct model in understanding how memory is constructed.
The idea of the deferred archive represents the artist looking back, activating past events and classifying them in order to understand a particular moment, as if revisiting the event with the perspective of today gives it the opportunity to really exist; a type of documentation that allows for memory to be created within the now – or, memory according to a later experience. The artist uses this model as a way of recognizing that memory is always something in the making. By looking to the past, the artists participating in CIFO’s 2013 Grants & Commissions Program are not looking for a memory, but rather creating a memory through documentation/archiving. The act of post-event documentation (or belated documentation) therefore becomes the deferred archive.
Spinello Projects Presents a Solo Project by Antonia Wright and Ruben Millares Grand Opening 
Saturday, July 13th, 7 – 10 PM
Spinello Projects
2930 NW 7th Avenue
Miami, FL 33127.
Spinello Projects is pleased to present the grand opening of State of the Book, an interactive installation from multidisciplinary artists Antonia Wright and Ruben Millares. Wright and Millares transform the gallery entrance into the façade of a bookstore storefront. Behind the glass doors is an interactive reading room where visitors may sit, read and physically engage with books borrowed from the Miami-Dade Public Library System, private collections and the artists’ own bookshelves. The Florida heat in the summer becomes a New England winter – an invitation to retreat indoors to think.
The work considers the devaluation of the printed book in a society plagued by rising budget cuts to the arts and education, successive shutdowns of mom-and-pop bookstores and public libraries, and the rise of the e-book. It is the artists’ hope that the room will generate a dialogue around the changing role of books in contemporary culture, but also furthering a love of reading centered around and within the act of community-building. In addition to regular gallery hours, ongoing programming will activate the space for the duration of the exhibition. Wright and Millares will conclude the exhibition run with a live performance.
The sad, strange, beautiful vulnerability and (sometimes) painful faces of the human condition are all considerations in the oeuvre of Miami-based artists Antonia Wright and longtime collaborator Ruben Millares. Investigating the various politics and comic facets of natural behaviors both unique and routine, Wright and Millares examine these elements through a multifarious, process-oriented practice combining video, performance, photography, poetry, sound and sculpture. Wright and Millares acknowledge the layers of societal taboos and barriers between their artistic choices, and pointedly pushes them into the visual arts realm for the viewer to regard, question and/or enjoy.

Parallels Art Show
Presented by Niki Art Studio and 1310 Gallery
Gala Opening Reception, July 20th 7pm to 11pm
Look at the world we live in. Our simultaneous existence as a generation binds us together, yet we each diverge on different paths. Our journeys are unique and diverse, yet we co-exist… close in proximity, yet distant, living and transitioning, breathing and traveling together as an expression of the collective self.
The 20 new and emerging artists exhibiting in PARALLELS visualize how they are part of a generation that is free to roam and find one’s own particular destination of infinite possibilities. The artists work makes you pause and observe the beauty in the contrasts that connects and divides us as a community truly unified not only by our similarities yet by our divine right and responsibility to create and evolve differently as individuals. They are inspired by the freedom of being who they are meant to be.

Miami was built and grew up in the age of the automobile. Today, with the dynamic renaissance of residential development in the urban core and the ever increasing access to new alternative modes of transportation – including transit, trolleys, car and bike sharing, and passenger rail service – are last century’s parking needs still relevant?
The panel will address issues of how to best regulate parking in Miami, what factors should be considered, and the role of government and the market in determining parking requirements for new development, redevelopment, and adaptive reuse of existing building stock. Seating is limited, please register today!
Panelists include:
Bernardo Fort-Brescia, FAIA, Principal, Arquitectonica
Joseph Furst, Managing Director – Wynwood, Goldman Properties
Harvey Hernandez, Chairman & Managing Director, Newgard
Dr. Ruth L. Steiner, Professor of Urban and Regional Planning, University of Florida

The Shortest Distance | La Distancia Más Corta highlights the works of two exiled Cuban artists who have made their residence in Spain: Andrés Lacau (Madrid), and Pablo Leonardo MartÃnez (Barcelona). Both artists have exhibited extensively in the U.S., Europe, and Latin America, in both solo, and group exhibitions. Their work is also included in many private collections.
This exhibition was curated by Ileana Fuentes and Jesus Rosado, and was organized in collaboration with WDNA 88.9FM Jazz Radio. It is part of the Sweet Home: Museo Cubano project of the Cuban Museum, and is the first of several Sweet Home: Museo Cubano activities that will feature the work of visual, literary and performing Cuban émigré artists who live and work in Spain.

David Castillo Gallery presents Lost Boys: Dogan Arslanoglu and Johnny Laderer Reception 
Saturday, July 13, 7 – 11 pm
David Castillo Gallery
2234 NW 2nd Avenue
Miami, FL 33127
David Castillo Gallery presents Lost Boys: DoÄŸan ArslanoÄŸlu & Johnny Laderer, curated by Claudia Mattos.
Lost Boys contends with autobiographical space; a type of space, both physical and not, defined by personal experience.
ArslanoÄŸlu’s photography and Laderer’s sculpture appropriate mundane imagery and materials to map personal and memorial experience. They create actual and aspirational sites, charting when, where, and with whom they have been. Articulated within these spaces is a nostalgia evidenced in location: a sense of home, particularly situated in Florida. The pieces in this show function as souvenirs, commemorating and bearing witness to times past and present. This is a cartographic exercise of identity.
Drawing a reference to Peter Pan’s Lost Boys, the show focuses on an exploration of youth and masculinity to draw out a notion of memory, experience, and home; in the end, the Lost Boys find home.
ArslanoÄŸlu approaches his subjects with a vernacularism that renders them placeless. These are images of his immediate surroundings and experiences; he is the unpictured subject of every scene. And this imagery becomes a log of sorts, charting the places — the friends, girlfriends, and experiences — where his camera has followed. He maps a personal narrative. Free from identifying markers, these images could have been taken anywhere.
Johnny Laderer, Personal Best 1, 2013.
Laderer’s practice departs from a more value-laden note: he creates work with found or discarded objects, or (put more simply) junk. The road is imperative to Laderer’s collecting of objects and ideas, and his materials reference his movement throughout the state. He is a magpie, claiming trophies along the way. Laderer’s is a practice of re-creating, re-staging, and re-claiming his and Florida’s past.
ArslanoÄŸlu’s and Laderer’s objects serve as the spaces for memory, allowing glimpses into a greater mapping of personal experience. And they are Lost Boys insofar as they attempt to find home, wherever (or whomever or whenever) that may be.
DoÄŸan ArslanoÄŸlu received his BFA from Florida International University in 2012. In the spring of 2013 ArslanoÄŸlu participated in the Wassaic Artist Residency in Wassaic, NY, and this fall he will be starting his MFA in photography at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY.
Johnny Laderer received his BFA from Florida State University in 2009. Laderer has participated in group shows at the Hollywood Art and Culture Center, Hollywood, FL; Miami Beach Urban Studios, Miami Beach, FL; among others. Both artists live and work in Miami, FL.
