Irina Elén: When Dreams Come True Opening Reception
Friday, October 7, from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m.
Cernuda Arte
3155 Ponce de Leon Blvd.
Coral Gables.
October 7- November 14
Cernuda Arte is honored to be hosting a one-person exhibition of paintings by Irina Elén, one of the most notable contemporary Cuban artists in today’s scene. The show entitled, When Dreams Come True, includes 22 paintings on canvas, depicted in oil and acrylic. It will be the first time the artist exhibits her work in the Unites States.
The artist will travel from Pinar del RÃo, Cuba to Miami to be present during this event.
The show will be open to the public until November 14.
The works featured in, When Dreams Come True, have as central focus the convergences of dreams and realities, this best understood as the connecting thread weaved by the artist to unfurl the images of her mythical universe.
In the land of Irina Elén – in her personal magical world – the woman figure is the main protagonist who moves throughout diverse ethereal sceneries recreated by the artist. Committed with great passion to the realization of her splendid works, elegantly finished –of precise execution and richness– the artist succeeds at imbuing them with grace, freshness and metaphor.
Symbols of beauty, joy, youth, providence and paradise abound, together with certain constants that appear and reappear in her compositions, such as– the feminine imagery, the intimate-surreal setting, the sheer pleasure of fantasy, and the marvelous sense of craft.
Irina Elén’s paintings reveal a sumptuous chromatic scheme and an impressive craft. Her meticulous and lyrical renditions are a feast to the eyes and evocative. Her body of work reflects, in essence, the bold talent of a young and promising plastic interpreter.
The exhibition is accompanied by a full-color catalogue, available to visitors.
Irina Elén González (Pinar del RÃo, Cuba 1978 – ) is a graduate of the Carlos Hidalgo Professional School of Visual Arts of Pinar del RÃo.
The artist has presented one person exhibitions in Havana at the Casa Osvaldo GuayasamÃn, in 2005, and in Pinar del RÃo, at the Provincial Center of Visual Arts, in 2001.
Irina Elén has participated in ten international art fairs, and has been included in over twenty-five group exhibitions throughout her career. Her work has illustrated several children’s books and has appeared in various magazines. The artist has garnered multiple awards and honorable mentions in juried art competitions.
The artist resides and works in Pinar del RÃo, Cuba.
Since 2006, Cernuda Arte represents the artist’s work worldwide.

The Children’s Trust to Host Local Premiere of From Place to Place
Thursday, Sept. 22 at 7 p.m.
Coral Gables Art Cinema
Film Screenings for the Public on Sept. 24-25
From Place to Place, a compelling documentary that explores issues related to foster care and permanency, will premiere in Miami-Dade County before a sold out audience hosted by The Children’s Trust on Thursday, Sept. 22 at 7 p.m. at the Coral Gables Art Cinema. A pre-screening reception at Books & Books features The Children’s Trust Miami Heart Gallery, a museum-quality exhibit showcasing children in foster care who are available for adoption, which remains on display this month.
Following the premiere, a one-hour discussion will take place moderated by Joni Goodman, LCSW and former Executive Director of Miami’s Guardian Ad Litem Program. Panelists include: Esther Jacobo, Miami Regional Director of the Department of Children and Families; Jeri B. Cohen, Judge of the Juvenile Court 11th Judicial Circuit; Frances Allegra, CEO of Our Kids; and foster care youth affiliated with Casa Valentina and Florida Youth Shine.
From Place to Place follows the often precarious lives of three young adults who aged out of the dependency system in Montana and the two who ultimately testified about their experience before U.S. Senators in an attempt to impact the system that raised them. The documentary was produced by Porch Productions, an award-winning motion picture production company that strives to expose diverse audiences to contemporary social issues, engage them in critical dialogue and inspire positive social change. From Place to Place premiered in Missoula in June of this year. Since then, community forums surrounding the film have been happening across the country, involving foster care youth to speak to the issues addressed in the film. For more information, visit http://fromplacetoplacemovie.com/.
Although the local premiere on Sept. 22 is sold out, the public may purchase tickets for subsequent screenings on Sept. 24 and 25, 11 a.m. at the Coral Gables Art Cinema, located at 260 Aragon Ave., Coral Gables, FL 33134. Tickets are $10 and are on sale at the box office.

The Frost Art Museum Presents Three Transformative Exhibitions Opening on
Target Wednesday After Hours
October 12, 2011 from 6pm-9pm.
The Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum
10975 SW 17th Street
Miami, FL 33199
This opening reception is sponsored by Bacardi and is free and open to the public. Attendees will also have the opportunity to meet artists Magdalena Fernandez and Humberto Calzada as well as enjoy a celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month with performances by jazz band, the Oscar Fuentes Combo.
The power to transform lies within each one of us. The act, process or instance of transforming leaves behind the old and brings us a new, vibrant state: be it through nature, self-discovery, or moving from old to new. These exhibitions demonstrate how malleable the spirit of transformation can be. The Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum at FIU presents the opening reception of three new exhibitions during Target Wednesday After Hours on October 12, 2011 from 6pm-9pm.
2iPM009, a video installation by Venezuelan-born artist Magdalena Fernández transforms rain into an unnatural simulation.
In this exhibition she brings Geometric Abstraction to a new level of expression. Magdalena Fernández’s recent work is the experimental and inventive field of a clear “naturalization†of abstraction. During the past decade, Fernández has developed a body of kinetic sculptures and videos; the latter incorporates sound and movement of lines and colors. In 2iPM009, Fernández incorporates very sophisticated sound compositions to simulate rain and thunder. It begins with barely audible sounds of light rain and the appearance of barely visible tiny dots. In perfectly measured timing, the dots begin to appear in greater quantity and with greater frequency. The “sound” of rain is created by the Perpetuum Jazzile choir and plays in harmony with the video installation, completing the rain simulation.
The Fire Next Time: New Works by Humerto Calzada focuses on the idea of Fire with its metaphorical properties that are both destructive and regenerative. Calzada is one of most renowned Cuban-American artists of his generation. In his new exhibit, Calzada launches into a new artistic and formal language deviating from his hard -edge approach to a more unpredictable painting style. Caldaza’s latest work features the element of fire, burning away the longing for Cuba’s pre-revolutionary past evident in his earlier work.
Modern Meals: Remaking American Foods from Farm to Kitchen is an exhibition that explores how technology and design remade and transformed the places where food was produced, sold, cooked and eaten from the turn of the century into the post-1945 period. There will be more than three dozen items on display including posters, prints, and advertisements, all of which invite visitors to consider how commercialization has shaped modern American foodways. Images and artifacts from the Wolfsonian collection illustrate the movement of food from the field, to the factory, supermarket, and kitchen table, in order to explore how modern technology, design, and business practices created new meanings for food and eating in this era.

featuring Mushy Widmaier on piano, Felipe Lamoglia on sax, Ti West on percussion, Dony Felix on bass, and Harvel Nakundi on drums.
Mushy Widmaier, is a prodigy of Haitian music, born and raised in Port-au Prince. He was completely mesmerized by the black and white suite, the array of tones, timbres and notes of the piano during his childhood. It became his favorite instrument, and he learned it well.
He is now considered one of the top 10 piano players in the Caribbean, one of its most exceptional masters. The 80’s brought recognition to Mushy and his brother Joel for having infected the Haitian music scene with a highly innovative style known today as the “The School of the New Generationâ€. Their group, Zekle, became synonymous with a modern jazz sound which includes soft oxygen-like singing, strong melodies, energetic arrangement, meaningful lyrics, keyboard pads and strings elements placed beneath the rhythm section. Mushy also has 150 plus commercial jingles and advertising spots to his credit.
His music has been used to promote the wares of fortune 500 companies such as Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Prestige Beer and the major banks in Haiti. Mushy Widmaier is a true scholar, and the very definition of a Renaissance musician. His evolution has led him to the following conclusion:
“Haitian Music is song, classical, roots, dance, contemporary, traditional, jazz and all musical genres originated from the Haitian soul. This variety constitutes the opera of our history.†Mushy

Pink Fire Trucks Roll into Town to Show their Support
The Pink Heals Tour has announced an official stop at the first annual “Strut Your Stuff For Cancer†fundraising event on October 6th as part of their national tour. The Pink Heals Tour, a movement celebrating women by raising money and awareness for the fight against Breast Cancer, will be steering their two signature pink fire trucks towards The Falls in honor of the charitable event.
The Pink Heals Tour is led by the self-proclaimed “Guardians of the Ribbonâ€, a group of firefighters, police men and community leaders that travel the country to spread the “Cares Enough to Wear Pink†campaign, the fastest growing movement in the country. The campaign’s non-profit mission is to provide a national movement for the support of women across the country by wearing the color pink. The tour will be selling their commemorative Pink Heals T-shirts at the event in hopes of generating proceeds for those affected by the disease in the community.
The “Strut Your Stuff for Cancer†event will feature The Pink Heals Tours’ two famous pink fire trucks as a “rejuvenation†stop in the high-heeled walking course, accompanied by local firemen outfitted in pink bunker gear. Each pink fire truck is layered with dedications, all messages to loved ones with cancer. At each stop along the tour, members of the public are invited to leave their marks.
“The Falls is thrilled to have The Pink Heals Tour join our first annual “Strut Your Stuff for Cancer†event. We feel honored that such a unique organization has chosen The Falls as a stop on their tour through Florida,†said Dailen Rodriguez, director of mall marketing and business development. “So many women are affected by breast cancer and this is a great way to raise awareness, one city at a time.â€
Proceeds from the Strut your Stuff for Cancer at The Falls will directly benefit Cancer Support Community Greater Miami, Sandy B. Muller Breast Cancer Foundation and La Liga Contra El Cancer.
Registration is now available through www.cancersupportcommunitymiami.org, www.laligacontraelcancer.org, www.sandybmullerbreastcancerfoundation,org.

Colossal Rose Bed To Bloom On South Beach

Sagamore, The Art Hotel, Announces Will Ryman as Featured Artist for Art Basel Miami Beach 2011 In honor of the hotel’s 10th anniversary of the Annual Art Basel Brunch
Internationally acclaimed artist to install 65th Street Last seen in the U.S. in New York City
South Beach is coming up roses, literally, as Sagamore, The Art Hotel on Miami Beach, along with its owner, Martin Taplin, art collector and curator Cricket Taplin, and the Paul Kasmin Gallery in New York, announce Will Ryman’s 65th Street to be publicly installed on the hotel’s beachfront for Art Basel Miami Beach 2011. A towering sculpture with one bud reaching as high as 22 feet, the exhibit reflects Ryman’s flair for the dramatic and absurdly wonderful.
The dwarfing blossoms will spring up from steel stems on Sunday, November 27, and remain on display through Sunday, December 4, 2011. A fanciful and colorful display of flora blooming on white sand beach and set against the Atlantic’s perpetuity, the installation will enamor viewers with its larger-than-life landscape.
Offering a bug’s-eye-view of the world, 65th Street will feature four colossal pink and red buds, ranging from five to ten feet in diameter, with the tallest bud inhabited by a brass aphid and beetle. Ryman, familiar with non-traditional materials, utilizes stainless steel, yacht-grade fiberglass resin, automotive paint and brass to create sculptures designed to withstand the elements.
Will Ryman is the latest in a long list of distinguished artists to exhibit at the South Beach hotel. Since the inception of Art Basel Miami Beach in 2002 when the international art market incorporated the city of Miami as a prime art venue, Sagamore, The Art Hotel, has hosted celebrated artists from around the world including Massimo Vitali, Yoko Ono, Spencer Tunick, Olaf Breuning, Elliot Erwitt and Roxy Paine, among others.
“Will Ryman is one of the most important artists of our time; his art will make history and we are extremely fortunate to celebrate his amazing talent at the Sagamore,†says Cricket Taplin.
This year Sagamore, The Art Hotel, will also celebrate the 10th anniversary of their Annual Art Basel Brunch. One of the most sought-after Art Basel events – which commenced in 2001 despite the events of 9/11 canceling the launch of Art Basel Miami Beach– the hotel partners with six local museums including the Bass Museum of Art, Lowe Art Museum, Miami Art Museum, Museum of Contemporary Art, The Patricia & Phillip Frost Museum of Art at FIU, the Wolfsonian-FIU and Lincoln Center in New York City.
“It is a privilege and an honor to have Will as the featured artist of our 10th anniversary,†continues Taplin. “My husband and I began collecting his work in 2006; we have followed his career since and are constantly impressed with his larger-than-life concepts and ideas. He takes everyday objects that are often overlooked, blows them up and places them center stage, reminding you, literally, to ‘take time to smell the roses.’â€
A native New Yorker, Will Ryman is internationally known for his large-scale figurative sculptures based on urban scenes and oversized flora. His work steadily incorporates a range of materials including plaster, fiberglass, stainless steel, paper machê, magic sculpt, brass, copper tubing, and cast aluminum. A writer turned artist, Ryman’s work is heavily influenced by the works of absurdist playwrights and philosophers.

The Stage Presents The Hot 8 Brass Band (NOLA), Suénalo (Miami Best Latin Band 2011), Locos Por Juana (Grammy-Nominated) In A Weekend-Long Big Bad Brass Party Celebrating New Orleans And Miami’s Unique Musical Culture
The Big Bad Brass Weekend will feature Miami’s Best ‘Po Boys, Live Painting and
Crowd-Stomping Music
Voted by the Miami New Times as Miami’s Best Live Music Venue, The Stage, announces a weekend-long party celebrating New Orleans and Miami’s unique musical flavorings with NOLA’s The Hot 8 Brass Band, Suénalo (Miami Best Latin Band 2011) and Grammy-Nominated Locos Por Juana. Big Bad Brass Party Weekend at The Stage is sure to delight the senses with musical performances, live painting, drink specials and delicious Cajun culinary delights from The Rum Cake Factory serving up Miami’s Best ‘Po Boys and more.
The Hot 8 Brass Band, a NOLA favorite, is most notably known for their contagious brass infused hip-hop, funk, and jazz and have toured internationally bringing their music and message to the masses. The Hot 8 Brass Band, like all of New Orleans, has had its share of tragedy in the aftermath of Katrina. Hot 8’s work with the Finding Our Folk Tour has brought music to evacuee shelters, temporary trailer parks, and to communities throughout the US that have provided a temporary home to displaced New Orleans’ families. Their efforts were featured on CNN, Nightline, New York Times, HBO and Spike Lee’s Katrina documentary “When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts.” In addition to displacement caused by the storm and subsequent violence and uncertainty contained therein, drummer Dinerral Shavers was shot and killed in late 2006 while driving with his wife and child in New Orleans. In addition, two other members of the band have lost their lives due to violence on the city streets. In response to these tragic setbacks, The Hot 8 Brass Band uses their passion for music and social outreach led to an integral role contributing to the success of the Finding Our Folk Tour.
Joining NOLA’s The Hot 8 Brass Band are two of Miami’s homegrown favorites with Suénalo (Friday) and Locos Por Juana (Saturday) for a Big Bad Brass collision of Miami and New Orleans best big band sounds.

Fried Catfish, Shrimp or Chicken in French Bread, Lettuce Tomatoes and Rémoulade
Smoked Chicken Wings
“Mildy smoked, spot-on tasty!”
Rum Cake
Baked Golden Brown and Basted with a Warm Wonderfully Rich Buttered Rum and Walnut Glaze. (Sorry, we already tried to get the recipe by all means. It’s a family secret!)
Don’t let the name fool you; The Rum Cake Factory creates some of the best Cajun food in town. Husband-wife owners and dynamic-duo Larry and Elena Robinson began catering in 2002 with Larry cooking the food he grew up with in Louisiana. The rum cake, his mother’s recipe, took on a life of its own and remains the signature item at the couple’s cozy little North Miami Beach shop. But we’re putting the dessert in front of the fine Cajun/soul-food specialties. Like fried shrimp or catfish in baskets or the same cleanly fried items in po’boys made on soft French bread shipped in from New Orleans. Fried turkey and pulled pork get stuffed into po’boys with their delicious rémoulade sauce, and don’t miss the smoked chicken wings — crisp, mildly smoked, and juicy. Jambalaya and delectable barbecue ribs make it as blackboard specials during the week, and if you’re lucky, you’ll catch the peerless gumbo. More information at www.therumcakefactory.com. The Rum Cake Factory is located at 2075 NE 163rd St. in North Miami Beach.

To mark its 10th edition, Art Basel Miami Beach will inaugurate a new collaboration with the Bass Museum of Art on the Art Public sector, which will transform Collins Park with unique artworks and performances by renowned artists and emerging talents. For the first time, Art Video will be presented on the large-scale outdoor projection wall of the New World Center, designed by Frank Gehry. The free public viewings will be part of a number of special events and performances taking place across Miami Beach for the duration of the show to celebrate the 10th edition.
Over the past ten years, Art Basel Miami Beach rapidly developed from a vibrant new-comer on the global art scene to the leading international art show in the Americas. The list of participating galleries, chosen by the Selection Committee, makes Art Basel Miami Beach the most prestigious art show of the Americas, featuring both established and emerging galleries. By redefining and optimizing its sectors, Art Basel Miami Beach has constantly responded to the evolving needs of its galleries. Between 2002 and today, Art Basel Miami Beach has gradually extended its footprint by over 50 percent, and increased the number of exhibiting galleries from barely 200 galleries in 2002 to more than 260 galleries at this year’s edition. Outside the halls, public art works have repeatedly transformed numerous locations across Miami Beach.
The decade has also marked a time of great transformations in the cultural scene of South Florida and Miami Beach. Major private collections including De la Cruz Collection Contemporary Art Space, CIFO, Rubell Family Collection, World Class Boxing, and the Margulies Collection enlarged their presence in Miami Beach and their reputation across the world. In addition, public institutions such as the Miami Art Museum and MOCA North Miami are extending their scope with new building projects, scheduled for completion in 2013. Many observers have called this decade ‘a cultural renaissance’, that made the Greater Miami area an exciting destination for the international artworld.
The show has likewise helped catalyze the evolution of the Latin American art scene, serving as an annual meeting point for its existing players and its new collectors. The rapid surge in the numbers of collectors from the entire continent – and the steady pace at which they have broadened the scope of their collections – have made the show a true nexus between the art scenes of Europe, North America and Latin America.
Art Galleries
The Art Basel Miami Beach Selection Committee has chosen more than 200 galleries for the main sector of this year’s show. More than half of the exhibitors come from outside the United States, with strong participation from Europe, 26 galleries from Latin America, nine galleries from Asia and two from Africa. The following galleries are exhibiting for the first time in Art Galleries: Galerie Berinson (Berlin), DAN Galeria (São Paulo), Loretta Howard Gallery (New York), Marc Jancou Contemporary (New York), Long March Space (Beijing), McCaffrey Fine Art (New York), GalerÃa Sur (Montevideo), and Richard Telles (Los Angeles).

World Champion Dogs In A Canine Extravaganza Show Will Donate Portion of Ticket Proceeds to Humane Society of Greater Miami
Who let the dogs out? We’re not sure, but Miami will be host to talented world champion and “celebrity†canines when DOGS debuts for the first time in the U.S. Seen around the globe, this live touring production introduces audiences to an exciting dog show under the Big Top at Bicentennial Park. DOGS will impress and entertain South Florida beginning September 28, 2011.
Guests who attend the show will be amazed by the talented and energetic canines. Acts like frisbee, dog diving, obstacle course, weave poles and much more, will have audiences cheering, while the four-legged characters run, jump, leap and sing throughout a memorable 120 minute production. In fact, several of the dogs have been featured in Hollywood films such as Disney’s “Life is Ruff†and “Water for Elephants.†The show also showcases Bella and Grit, Frisbee World Championship winners, and Julio, an English Bulldog that specializes in extreme skateboarding and mathematical equations. DOGS is a production pooch lovers won’t want to miss.
In an effort to assist the Humane Society of Greater Miami in creating a more loving community for pets by providing shelter and medical care to cats and dogs, DOGS will donate a portion of ticket proceeds to the non-profit organization. To further encourage the adoption of pets, the Humane Society will have dogs on-site available for adoption to loving families after some presentations.
“DOGS was originally created to increase awareness about the neglect and cruelty dogs endure,†said the show’s producer, Arturo Guzmán. “ More than 50% of the dogs in the show have been rescued from the streets or pounds. The show not only promotes pet adoption, but also displays the unconditional relationship between dogs and trainers.â€
DOGS is an interactive two-hour live family show, full of music, special effects and constant action. The Purina sponsored show highlights the unique bond between man and dog and raises awareness of the mistreatment of animals, while promoting the adoption of canines. Recognized and applauded by worldwide organizations, like Purina and The Humane Society, DOGS takes pride in being a fun show that also bears an important message.
DOGS is presented under a 40,000 square feet big top, which takes over 10 days, 30 men and two cranes to set up. With a total of 25 trainers and 38 dogs, the show has entertained more than 500,000 spectators in eight different countries.

Wynwood Arts District
www.artnouveaugallery.net
Georgina Chumaceiro and Elizabeth Hazim Directors of Art Nouveau Gallery, cordially invite you to the Opening Reception of Sideral Spheres by Héctor RamÃrez
Kinetic art in Venezuela leaves more than an imprint on our memories. It remains because it is a way of understanding art as a continuous innovation, since the artist explores the infinite possibilities that can be reached with the most pure and expressive elements: line, form, color, movement, and transformation. That is why the artist, who adopts this course of action, always researches because he finds in the work of art the materialization of an unexpected, changing and surprising event for him and for the spectator.
For over 20 years, Art Nouveau has captured the hearts of collectors who appreciate and enjoy art. Since its creation, this gallery has undertaken de challenge of showcasing the most interesting proposals in the international scene, and has done so with sensitivity and courage. It has become a reference for experts in Latin American art.

Zadok Art Gallery

www.emergetradeshow.com
eMERGE is an innovative fashion trade show for upcoming and emerging brands, to showcase their collections to the best boutiques and retailers. Most conventional trade shows do not focus their attention on independent companies that are yearning for exposure in the fashion market. eMERGE is here to assist these brands in growing their business to become the next big “IT†FACTOR. Brands attending eMERGE are breaking barriers and aren’t afraid to take risks to be a recognizable force in the market, and therefore, they will….â€ARISE AND CONQUERâ€
On October 15, various up-and-coming designers and retailers will showcase their collections through exhibition or runway presentation at the second annual eMERGE Trade show. A full day of events, from noon-to-nine at night, welcomes media, members of the fashion industry for buy and also local fashionistas and fashion bloggers to view fashions from designers across the United States and Canada. Held in the heart of the Wynwood Arts District at the Zadok Art Gallery, eMERGE2 brings together the future of fashion to third largest fashion capital in the United States.
Titled eMERGE2 for this year’s event, the producers of eMERGE, Sherreth Stewart and Raymond Sancristobal, collaborate yet again to encourage these young brands to “ARISE AND CONQUER.†The tradeshow “offers exhibitors cost effective pricing for their new brand and the opportunity to showcase their collections and learn to deal with retailers first hand.†Stewart continues, “[the show] is equally important in its exposure upon this particular demographic to the city of Miami and its diverse cultures.
This year’s event is star studded; from Maxim Model Red Carpet Host Aisha Thalia to South Florida’s DJ Sandman. The day of fashion, sponsored by Three Olives Vodka, Vita Coco, Pop chips, Best Buy, JQ Productions and MontagePR, will include designers of streetwear, swimwear, women’s ready-to-wear and men’s casual wear. Select exhibitors will display their brands from noon until five o’clock; while the runway event, headlined by Aluna Swimwear, lasts from six until nine.
A donation is requested at the door in lieu of general admission fees; proceeds of which each of the at minimum five dollars give by each attendant shall benefit both the American Cancer Society and Project K.I.T.E. Both causes are near and dear to the hearts of the show producers Sherreth and Ray. After seeing firsthand the pain and suffering her late mother experienced during her trials, battles and treatments of Cancer, Sherreth personally connects with victims afflicted and families affected by the diseases; it is one of her mission’s aside from producing eMERGE to aid and grow Cancer research. The second cause, Project K.I.T.E. is a philanthropic organization in which Raymond co-founded with Norlan Delgado in 2009 to insure that every child has the opportunity to succeed and achieve success. Through a series of programs and outreach activities, Raymond and Norlan provide positive experiences, healthy alternatives as well as resources necessary in the development of society’s future leaders.
For more information on eMERGE2 and a complete listing of participating exhibitors, boutiques and registered press is available on the event website at http://www.emergetradeshow.com.

Instead, they went “over town” to the dozens of juke joints of Overtown and performed in front of integrated audiences into the wee hours. This is our tribute to them.

Join Tigertail for another lively Season Kickoff Party. The event is free and open to the public. The 2011-2012 season’s slogan is Expected\Unexpected, and the party will live up to this motto.
Attendees will enjoy the outrageous New York City performance artist Pat Oleszko and her inflatable art, surrounded by the beautiful street-art murals of Wynwood Walls. There will be special appearances by guest artists and the Tigertail WordSpeak team hot from Brave New Voices in San Francisco. Season tickets and other prizes will be offered, and partiers will be invited to create their own murals.
Pat Oleszko makes a spectacle of herself – and doesn’t mind if you laugh. The New Yorker says “She’s a rhyming, punning, vogueing, shrieking performer – a social critic, a comic, and a vamp.†Utilizing elaborate costumes and props, she has created lithe performances, films, installations that address trees, knees, breasts, butts, elephants and fingers. She has worked from the popular art forms of the street, party, parade and burlesque house, to the Museum of Modern Art, from Sesame Street Magazine to Ms, Playboy, and Artforum. A much decorated artist, literally and figuratively, she has received a Guggenheim Fellowship and awards from the National Endowment for the Arts, New York Foundation for the Arts, the Jim Hensen Foundation and many others. She has exhibited and performed at many venues and museums, including a memorable show at the Bass Museum in 1993, about which the Sun Sentinel wrote, “Simply, Oleszko is the grande dame of performance art.”
The Wynwood Walls were produced by Deitch Projects and Goldman Properties to coincide with the 2009 Art Basel Miami. These street art murals were created by artists from Asia, Europe, Latin America and the U.S., including Brazilian twins Os Gêmeos and Americans Shepard Fairey and Ryan McGinnis.
Party attendees can enjoy dinner at Joey’s or Wynwood Kitchen & Bar afterwards at a 15% discount.

The Largest Haunted Attraction In South Florida! Including 3 Horrifying Haunts Totally Redesigned For Maximum Terror!
“HEXâ€
Before modern day Baton Rouge was settled, the swampy lands of the area were home to many gypsies, witches and priests. The society was steeped in tribal culture and practiced the dark arts to achieve immortality, power and balance. Take a step through the trails, villages and many shrines of HEX. You will experience sadistic rituals, lost innocence and the ultimate sacrifice . . . your soul!
“FREAKERSâ€
Your childhood fears are real. The toy box if full of bad intentions. An army of FREAKERS is pouring out from under your bed, your closets, the basement and filling the streets of your neighborhood. Nowhere is safe. You cannot hide from your fears. They know everything about you, because you helped to create them. Roam the hallways of the old house you grew up in and slip into dark corners of your imagination, where there is always something evil lurking just around the corner.
“HOLLOW HILLâ€
At the home for the criminally insane, what happens when the patients take over the asylum? IN the spring of 1933, the staff of HOLLOW HILL found out just that! After enduring much torture and starvation during a long and brutally cold winter in the drafty halls and chambers of the Asylum, the “residents†rose up and murdered most of the Doctors, Nurses and Security on staff. Though these maniacs had gained a level of freedom, the building was completely locked and sealed. With food supplies running short, the madness increased as the patients turned to cannibalism and violence towards each other and the few remaining “outsiders!â€
And Now 3 All New “Designed To Terrify†Scare Zones!
Lv13, The Scrapyard And Infected Will Bring New Horrors Guaranteed To Heighten Your Fright Quotient!
Plus… Monster Midway Rides, Games & more!
From a monster midway with thrilling rides and challenging games to a delicious food pavilion, at Fright Nights we are dedicated to making sure you enjoy your visit. We pay close attention to artistic detail in our sets and concentrate on the best ways to get a rise out of you. There is always the chance that you may come face to face with some of your deepest fears. So, keep checking over your shoulder…who knows what may lurk in the shadows?

Afro ConTempo Dance Theater (ACDT) presents Alma en Boca, The Afro-Peruvian Story, an elaborated tale of re-invention, social structure and cultural expression that voices itself through the rhythms of the Cajon, live singers and a cast of 20 energetic performers. The performance will take place on October 1, 2011 at The Colony Theatre (1040 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach, FL 33139); showtimes are at 5:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.
Over the decades the African culture in Peru went through a series of critical phases, ranging from the establishment of traditions to ending in near extinction. Today Afro-Peruvian dance is the pride of Peruvian folklore. The historic journey to establish this title is a journey that is still very unclear and mysterious to the Peruvian society.
Alma en Boca moves its way through Afro-Peruvian history, interpreting the birth and transformation of the traditional culture through the already existing Afro-Peruvian folklore and combining it with a new, organic form of Contemporary Dance. This show will not only be the first to demonstrate Peru’s fascinating history, but also the first to express it using this new fusion-style of dance.
Keeping its traditional touch, the show’s creator and ACDT’s founder and director, Marcela Diaz, finds a way to stay true to Peruvian folklore while allowing it to be edged and reformed into modern day dance.
“This project has been in the works for only one year now. But has taken five long years to research,†says Marcela Diaz, Artistic Director and Choreographer of the show. She continues by saying, “I support the notion that a culture can be expressed through any well researched artistic approach, even if the culture heavily relies on tradition. What better way to share information about a culture than to bring alive its history?!â€
*SPECIAL APPEARANCE BY GRAMMY NOMINATED, PERUVIAN SINGER, EVA AYLLON*
A reception was held on Sept. 15 at Aromas Del Peru in Coral Gables as a kick off to this wonderful show. The dance theatre even performed a small piece in order for guests to have a small preview of what to expect.
Admission: $40 VIP (Section 1 ), $32 VIP ( Section 2), $26 general admission, $20 students w ID/ seniors + 62. Tickets are now on sale at the Colony Theatre box office and through Ticketmaster, call 1-800-745-3000 or visit www.ticketmaster.com.
For more information about ALMA EN BOCA or ACDT please contact Marcela Diaz at 786.444.6726 or email MDiaz@AfroConTempoDanceTheater.com. Please visit our website at www.afrocontempodancetheater.com.

Something for Everyone: “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forumâ€
Opens Friday, October 14
Miami Beach Stage Door Theatre
What do you get when you cross Roman farce with classic vaudeville? Timeless, laugh-out-loud comedy!
“A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum,†the widely acclaimed, multiple Tony Award-winning musical, will open at the Miami Beach Stage Door Theatre at the Byron Carlyle on Friday, October 14, with matinee and evening performances through November 13.
The show made its Broadway debut in 1962 with music and lyrics by a relative newcomer, Stephen Sondheim. Based on a book by Burt Shevelove and Larry Gelbart, it was inspired by the farces of ancient Roman playwright Plautus. That first engagement, comprised of almost 1,000 performances, has been followed by several revivals as well as a movie.
“A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum†has earned Tony Awards for Best Musical, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Book and Best Director. In fact, every actor who has starred in the musical – Zero Mostel, Phil Silver, and Nathan Lane – has won a Tony.
The plot of “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum†is simple: a slave named Pseudolus tries to earn his freedom by helping his young master, Hero, win the hand of the comely (and, of course, virginal) courtesan Philia, betrothed to another. The ensuing machinations, including gender-crossing disguises and cases of mistaken identity, are both mind-boggling and side-splitting. The running satirical commentary on social class is as relevant as ever.
In the Miami Beach Stage Door production, the lead role of Pseudolus is reprised by Dan Kelley, a 25-year veteran of South Florida theater, Silver Palm award-winner for Best Actor/Best Director in a Musical and Carbonell-nominated for Actor and Director. Other cast members include Shane Tanner as Miles Gloriosus, Ken Clement as Senex, Lauren Cupples as Philia, Andrew Betz as Hero, Rachel Lomax as Gymnasia, Sarah Lichty as Vibrata and Ricky Dain Jones as Hysterium.
Vaudeville comedians were fond of opening their shows by saying, “A funny thing happened on the way to the theater.†Audiences at the Miami Beach Stage Door Theatre will be saying that the funniest thing is what happened in the theater. “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum†delivers what the opening song promises: “Something familiar, something peculiar, something for everyone: a comedy tonight!
“A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum†is presented by Derelle Bunn and David Torres, co-founders and executive producers of the recently-opened Miami Beach Stage Door Theatre. With the new theatre housed in the Byron Carlyle, the pair continues their 19-year tradition of producing award-winning musicals at the Broward Stage Door Theatre, their flagship theatre in Coral Springs.
Technical Credits
Executive Producer/Artistic Director, Derelle Bunn; Director, Dan Kelley; Choreographer, Chrissi Ardito; Musical Director, Dave Nagy; Lighting Designer, Anthony White; Set Designs, Ardean Landhuis; and costumes by Costume World.
“A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum†Performances:
October 14 through November 13, 2011. Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday matinees at 2 pm; Friday and Saturday evenings at 8 pm. Tickets, from $38 to $42, are available at the Box Office at Miami Beach Stage Door Theatre at the Byron Carlyle, 500 71st Street, Miami Beach (305/397-8977) or online at www.stagedoorfl.org.
The City of Miami Beach has launched “DiSh,†the moniker for Dinner and a Show, a program in which participating restaurants near the Miami Beach Stage Door Theatre offer ticket holders a 15 percent discount on their lunch or dinner simply by presenting their ticket or ticket stub. Miami Beach residents also receive a 10 percent discount on tickets at theatre. For the “dish†on participating restaurants, log on to www.mbculture.com/dish.

Kya’s Smiles is a non-profit organization devoted to help the patients and families of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and raise funds to advance research and development of cures for pediatric cancer, in particular infant leukemia, and the unfortunate side effects of treatment. We aim to create broader awareness about the daily reality of pediatric cancer and provide support networks and resources for families facing their own journeys. Kya’s Smiles began from the loss of our 13 month old baby girl named Kya Bliss Kapur and was inspired by the amazing physical, emotional, and financial support her family received throughout their journey. During their yearlong stay in Memphis as patients of St. Jude, Kya and her family witnessed firsthand the courage, strength, and optimism each family has during their fight against pediatric cancer and the unwavering support and care St. Jude provides. We hope to foster this continued support into a national movement for awareness, research, change, and ultimately a cure. www.kyassmiles.com.

We celebrate the culture and traditions of artists who trace their roots to Spain, Mexico, Central and South America, and the Spanish speaking countries of the Caribbean.
Art being the universal language touches the heart of all people; it is an immortal legacy that will prevail in the history and heritage of each nation today and for future generations to come.
We welcome you to meet the artists of our time who have embarked on a mission to preserve their culture through the unspoken language of color, composition, expressions and imagery, as did the masters that have come before them, such as Pablo Picasso, El Greco, Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, Remedios Varo, Wifredo Lam, Francisco de Goya, Joan Miro, and Obregon, just to name a few.
Participating Hispanic Heritage Artists Include: David Acevedo, Orestes Bouzon, Xavier Brignoni, Maru Carreras, Roberto Catasus, Jose Chiu, Ruben Cukier, Vicente Dopico-Lerner, Lidia Godoi, Israel Guevara, Mila Hajjar, Pablo Hernandez, Marcelo Holzinger, Salomon Khammi, Santos Mendez, Tony Mendoza, Ric Moreira, Antonio Nuñez, Rafael Ponce, Jacqueline Roch, George Rodez, Felix Gonzalez Sanchez, Mari Sanchez, Cesar Santalo, Ana Maria Sarlat, Anica Shpilberg, And Dania Sierra.

The six-week celebration of chefs and cuisines that is Dine Out Lauderdale kicks off on October 1st
For more information on Dine Out Lauderdale visit www.Sunny.org/DineOut.
Stephen Starr’s Steak 954 – After three years on the beach, 2011 marks the first time that Steak 954 is participating in Dine Out. Since they’re also one of the restaurants with the highest price point, it’s one of the best deals and a no-brainer. Chef de Cuisine Jason Smith is offering a variety of signature dishes from Miso Glazed Black Cod to Skirt Steak with fingerling potatoes, sautéed spinach and cipollini jus, while Pastry Chef Sarah Magoon makes it a tough choice for dessert between the Cheese Cake Brulee and her famous Banana Gateau. Valid Sunday-Thursday Oct 1 – Nov 10. Not valid during Boat Show Oct 27-31. 401 N. Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd, Fort Lauderdale, FL | 954.414.8333 | www.steak954.com
SAIA – This new Southeast Asia inspired sushi-heavy eatery is quickly proving to be a favorite for locals, due in part to the fact that the open-air kitchen is helmed by Chef Subin, formerly of the Delano. SAIA offers five courses rather than the required three with standout selections including their Ocean Blue Roll (avocado, boursin cheese, crab stick, tempura fried) and the Miso Scallops (lime & sea salt crusted, Japanese yam, scallion, honey-miso). Valid Sunday-Thursday Oct 1 – Nov 10. Not valid during Boat Show Oct 27-31. 999 N Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33304 | 954.302.5252 | www.SAIAsushi.com
China Grill Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina – We know you’re familiar with their Miami outpost but if you haven’t visited their waterfront Fort Lauderdale location, now is your chance. 
Their Dine Out menu offers a bit of everything from the famous Crackling Calamari Salad to their Barbequed Salmon, Sake Marinated Drunken Chicken and the Sweet Soy Marinated Skirt Steak, and of course accompaniments including Wasabi Mashed Potatoes and Five Vegetable Fried Rice. The amount of dishes ordered is dependent on the total guests, so bring friends to nosh on the full spectrum of offerings but even if you dine as a couple it’s guaranteed nobody goes home hungry. Valid Sunday-Thursday Oct 1 – Nov 10. Not valid during Boat Show Oct 27-31. 1881 SE 17th Street, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316 | 954.759.9950 | www.chinagrillmgt.com

Amazone Paiche,  is making its South Florida debut at Miami’s top restaurants and events this summer.
Having made its initial preview in 2011 during Restaurant Week in New York City, the Amazone Paiche from Peru is exclusively imported and distributed by ArtisanFish directly to Miami’s discerning health-conscious palates, and soon beyond.
Beloved not only for its crisp taste, Amazone Paiche offers thick, juicy filets with no traces of harmful mercury or other heavy metals commonly found in some fish of comparable size. It is raised all natural in first use water, free of chemicals, hormones, or contaminants. Chefs favor its consistent quality, flavor, texture and sustainable aqua farming practices. Paiche is also able to withstand high cooking temperatures because of its high collagen content, allowing the formation of a delicious crust on the outside while retaining juiciness on the inside. Its unique properties offer adaptability to any flavor or cooking style–from crusted to skewered.
South Florida celebrities and the “epicurious†are previewing Amazone Paiche this summer. First having satiated star athletes and celebrities like Alonzo Mourning, Jason Taylor and Jeffrey Donovan during Zo’s Summer Groove, now South Floridians can preview Paiche during Miami Spice as select restaurants such as Palme d’Or, Area 31 and Sushi Samba have added the “Super Fish†to their menu for a limited time. Soon to appear on the menus of Miami’s most high-profile restaurants, the new gastronomic delight is sure to be the must-order for any fine foodie.
Distributed solely by ArtisanFish, the Amazone Paiche brand represents 100% traceability to farm and every shipment complies with Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) regulations, which ensures the purchase of legally traded Paiche and prevents commercial exports of endangered wild Paiche.
The Amazone aqua farm touts not only the highest quality and most consistent Paiche available, but also innovative and environmentally conscious farming methods and the mission to restore the species, which is endangered from overfishing in South America.
ArtisanFish is the exclusive importer, wholesaler and distributor of Amazone Paiche to the Americas, marketing it for $13 a pound. ArtisanFish specializes in sustainable, all-natural seafood of premium quality.

Sebastien Verrier joined the Biltmore team in the fall of 1999 where he oversee the wine lists at La Palme d’Or and the 1200 Restaurant & Courtyard, as well as wine pairings for all the hotel’s winemaker-theme dinners. After 12 years at the Biltmore, he became a partner of W Wine Boutique in January 2011. He is now sommelier at Vita by Baoli.
At 34, Paris born Sébastien Verrier is often younger than some of the wines he serves. However, his youth has not prevented him from garnering a stellar reputation as a sommelier, one who relishes in the “always learning, always tasting, always working on the palate†associated with his profession. It is a profession he entered when he was only 15 as a sommelier’s assistant at Paris’s Michelin-starred Les Clos Longchamps. Verrier balanced his duties there with earning a bachelor degree in wine stewardship. Having begun to master wine, he became equally determined to learn English, so after two years as second sommelier at the famed Michelin one-star Le Jardin in Paris, he headed for London and a position as captain/sommelier at Mon Plaisir Restaurant.
Wanderlust, which often accompanies wine expertise because of its global nature, had set in by 1998. Verrier set his sights on New York City, where he spent a year as a captain at Les Trois Jeans before taking off for Australia and an exploration of its viniculture before landing definitely in Miami

The Literary Vision Of Jean Anouilh Throughout His Books Lecture
Lecture by Dr. Efrin Knight
Friday, September 23rd at 6:30pm
Alliance francaise of Miami
618 SW 8th St
Miami, Fl 33130
events@afmiami.org
Lecture in French by Efrin Knight, Doctor of the Sorbonne University, currently teaching French at FIU-BBC, followed by a book signature
Free and open to the public
Ever since men started writing, many of them have felt the need to expose their point of view about the subject. But this was generally reserved to prefaces or dedications. However, Jean Anouilh distinguishes from his predecessors in several ways. Unlike his masters, he does not write prefaces because he does not like them. Similarly, he does not write technical exposés.
Nevertheless, whether he treats a mythological, religious or historical subject; whether he writes about an impossible love (one of his favorite themes); whatever the argument, he always finds the way to refer in his works to an author of the past, a colleague of his time and, most of all, to the theater world, that he exposes in detail.
On the other hand, we find in his plays a plethora of historic figures ranging from Cato the Elder and Aliénor d’Aquitaine to Général De Gaulle including Bayard, Bismarck, Kissinger, Beethoven or Mignard.
Here we are quite far from the superficial boulevardier pretending to have no other goal than to amuse us and make us forget our sorrows.
EFRIN KNIGHT: Born in Havana June 18, 1943, of British origin on his father’s side and Spanish on his mother’s side, Efrin Knight arrived in Paris in 1963, where he celebrated his twentieth birthday. After learning French at the Alliance française de Paris between 1963 and 1964, he began studying at the Sorbonne, where he followed a double course during twelve years. In history, and in French literature, that he completed with the grade of Docteur de l’Université de Paris-Sorbonne (Paris IV). His dissertation titled Critique et vision littéraires dans le théâtre de Jean Anouilh, was agreed with Mention Très Honorable.
Licencié ès lettres in 1968, he then started to teach french in France as a foreigner.
After teaching french to French native students during thirty five years, he retired in December 2003 at the legal age of sixty and moved to join his family in Miami Beach.
Five months after he arrived in Florida, he was hired as an adjunct professor to teach french for free (or almost…) at the Florida International University in Miami in May 2004 and he is still a member of that faculty at the moment of his last publication in July 2011.
In March 2000, his annotated anthology of articles and prefaces of Jean Anouilh was published in Paris by La Table Ronde under the title En Marge du théâtre. He has also published several texts in french about the famous playright in the Revue d’histoire du théâtre since 1997. His last article, titled: L « Histoire de Monsieur Mauvette et la fin du monde » et la dislocation de la chronologie dans le théâtre de Jean Anouilh was published by this academic review in October 2010.
His photographs are also used from time to time since 1980 to illustrate book covers, schoolbooks, and postcards.

Opening Reception for Enrique MartÃnez Celaya: Schneebett
Featuring Miami Symphony Orchestra
Thursday, October 13, 6-8pm
Miami Art Museum

Miami, FL 33130
MAM members free / non-members $10
RSVP@miamiartmuseum.org or 305.375.1704
Parking at 50 NW 2nd Ave. – $5 with Museum validation
Miami Art Museum presents the U.S. debut of Schneebett, a major installation inspired by Ludwig van Beethoven’s convalescence and death in Vienna, Austria in 1827. The reception will feature a performance of Beethoven’s late quartets by members of the Miami Symphony Orchestra. Schneebett, originally created for the Berliner Philharmonie in 2004, will be on view in the Museum’s permanent collection installation from October 14, 2011 through January 1, 2012.
Miami Art Museum will present the United States debut of Enrique MartÃnez Celaya’s Schneebett, a major installation inspired by Ludwig van Beethoven’s convalescence and death in Vienna, Austria in 1827, originally created for the Berliner Philharmonie. Enrique MartÃnez Celaya: Schneebett will be on view from October 14, 2011 through January 1, 2012 in the Museum’s Anchor Gallery, a space dedicated to large-scale works from the permanent collection. The exhibition opening will take place October 13, 2011 from 6 to 8pm and feature a performance by members of the Miami Symphony Orchestra.
Schneebett, which reflects on and transports the viewer into the final hours of Ludwig van Beethoven’s life, was the first work of art commissioned for and exhibited at the Berliner Philharmonie since its founding in 1882. It was presented in 2004, and was shown in juxtaposition to the music of the Berliner Philharmoniker with special programming at the American Academy in Berlin. Schneebett was presented again in 2006 at the Museum der bildenden Künste in Leipzig where it offered a counterpoint to Max Klinger’s statue of the heroic Beethoven as the creative genius. The title, Schneebett (“Snow-bedâ€), is from a poem by Holocaust survivor Paul Celan, a meditation on death. To re-animate the spirit of those celebrated exhibitions, MartÃnez Celaya created a new version of the installation for Miami Art Museum, which opens with a performance of Beethoven’s late quartets by the Miami Symphony Orchestra. A video of the performance will be on view for the duration of the exhibition.
The three-part installation conveys Beethoven’s final moments in Vienna, far away from his native Bonn. In one room is a bronze bed, its surface covered in a thick layer of frost created by an elaborate compressor system. Behind it is a large tar-and-feather painting of a dense, snow-covered forest. The entry to the room is blocked by a pile of sticks and branches. On the other side of the blocked doorway is an “ante-chamber†with a solitary chair from which a viewer can peer into the inaccessible “bedroom,†and experience the environment as a memory of what was, or what might have been. The Leipziger Volkszeitung remarked that Beethoven’s presence “literally hovers in the air as sound.â€
“Schneebett is a major work by an internationally-renowned artist,†said MAM Senior Curator Peter Boswell. “It will have a special resonance here in Miami since MartÃnez Celaya, who was born in Cuba, was inspired in part by the thought of Beethoven’s passing away far from Bonn, the city of his birth, which he left at age 21 never to return.â€
Schneebett is a promised gift to the museum from German collectors Dieter and Si Rosenkranz.
Born in Habana in 1964, Enrique MartÃnez Celaya worked primarily as a scientist until 1992, when he decided to be an artist, an endeavor he had been pursuing since an early apprenticeship during his teenage years. Marie Louise Knott, editor of Le Monde Diplomatique, which dedicated an entire issue to the artist, stated, “MartÃnez Celaya’s work reinvents the original magic of art.â€
MartÃnez Celaya studied applied physics at Cornell University and, supported by a fellowship from the Brookhaven National Laboratory, pursued a Ph.D. in Quantum Electronics at the University of California, Berkeley. As a scientist he worked on superconductivity, lasers and laser delivery systems, research for which he was issued an often-cited patent. He attended the Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture in Maine and received a Master of Fine Arts from the University of California, Santa Barbara. His work is represented in such public collections as the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; the Museum der bildenden Künste Leipzig; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. He has been the recipient of numerous distinguished awards, including most recently, the honor of being the second Visiting Presidential Professor in the history of the University of Nebraska, and the prestigious Anderson Ranch National Artist Award. Recently, the University of Nebraska Press released Enrique MartÃnez Celaya: Collected Writings & Interviews, 1990-2010, which traces the development of the artist’s thought throughout his twenty-year career as an artist, writer, and lecturer.

“Sometimes your everyday life is aesthetically transformed…when common objects are presented in a new perspective, they awake feelings ranging from euphoria to depression and from serenity to restlessness. The images in this project are everyday objects that cross my gaze at home and elsewhere. Objects that are often abandoned, ignored, or taken for granted. The city images are common buildings in ordinary streets. To achieve the desired effect I create textures and artful compositions with daylight, my camera’s movements, and different reflecting surfaces. How you interpret reality depends on the viewpoint you choose…â€

Anthony Bless premieres “Your Lover” music video
Thursday Sept 15, 2011, 8pm
Kyma Lounge (inside the Epic Hotel)
270 Biscayne Blvd
Miami FL 33132
His goal is to be timeless. His motivation is to succeed and to leave the world with an experience that impacts generations. With the release of his new music video “Your Loverâ€, I invite you to experience Anthony Bless. Join us for a night of VIPs, celebrities, cocktails and music this Thursday September 15th at Kyma Lounge located inside the Epic Hotel in Downtown Miami. Hosted by Venue Magazine and sponsored by Brugal Rum, the red carpet is set to begin at 8pm.
“Your Lover†was written and produced entirely by Anthony Bless and WriteSounds. The song is a story telling adventure about the flirtatious encounter between a man and a woman who have a passionate chemistry from the moment they meet. Miss Cuba Intercontinental 2011, Damaris Aguiar, was cast as Bless’ love interest. The style of the song embodies a fusion of hip hop and soul music, a trait that Bless is well known for in his music style. The end product was made possible by the efforts of Bless and his team at ASK Media Productions and WriteSounds.
Born in New York and raised in Miami, Bless is a loyalist to his art. He is a product of Theater, Acting, Hip Hop, Jazz and Latin music. Not just known for his music, Anthony Bless has been able to display his attributes through projects such as acting on USA network’s ‘Burn Notice” and A&E’s “The Glades”. Most recently Bless landed a role in the new TV show on Starz, Magic City; filming is set to begin at the end of September. Bless also appeared as the lead role in the off-Broadway theater play “Filo Al Fuego / Blade to the Heat†in Miami. He continues to perform at several venues throughout Florida and performed overseas in the Bahamas.
Haimov Jewelers which has accessorized several celebrities such as Paris Hilton, 50 Cent and the Kardashian sisters, provided all the jewelry seen in the video. Located in the heart of downtown, the store was also featured in one of the main scenes of “Your Loverâ€. The stylish wardrobe worn by Bless and Aguiar in the video was provided by Sebastien James located in Midtown Miami. The white Lamborghini used to cruise down Ocean Drive was provided by Exotic Rentals and will be exhibited outside the Epic Hotel on the night of the premiere for the viewing pleasure of our guests. The spectacular home featured in the video belongs to Venue Magazine editors Herman and Alexia Echevarria, who welcomed Bless and the cast to their home with open arms. A special thanks to all other sponsors who contributed to the making of “Your Loverâ€: Barry Showcat of WatchBuyers, Tax Consultants and I Am Crossfit.

The series will be a combination of animation and reality. The viewer also has an opportunity to be part of the adventure by appearing as a comic book character in a selected webisode.
Bibi Kickstarter Campaign
The 30-day fundraising campaign begins on September 5th and ends on October 5th, 2011.
Pledge levels start from $1 – $2,000 & up. With each level of pledge, the supporters are rewarded with gifts for contributing (including Bibi Book Editions, Bibi T-Shirts, appearing as a comic book character in an edition of The Adventures of Bibi & Friends, and Executive Producer Credit on BibiandFriends.TV)
The funds collected will be used for production & technology cost needed to produce BibiandFriends.TV.

On Saturday, September 24th, Zach Deputy will bring his unique brand of one-man-band, powerhouse showmanship the Culture Room. Deputy uses live loops, layering sounds through the magic of technology to create a full band effect. The Zach Deputy sound is essentially roots rock, but in his case the roots are in soul, calypso and dancehall, underpinned by driving hip-hop, rock steady, Motown and Stax backbeats created with his layered vocal beatboxing. On top of the backbeat, Deputy’s nylon strings pull multiple duties as bass, rhythm and lead guitar. Riding over that, a plethora of sounds — keyboard, steel drums and an entire horn section — come pumping and grinding out of the speakers when he takes the stage. He is a one man dance party, but he can also bring an audience to rapt attention with a heartfelt love ballad. On his upcoming, forth studio release, Another Day (Eusonia Records, 2011), Deputy demonstrates his extraordinary ability to perform and record in multiple contexts and conveys the sensibilities of a mature singer/songwriter.
Hailing from the South Carolina coast, Zach Deputy’s family roots are in Puerto Rico and St. Croix. Cruzan rhythms and folk songs competed with blues and American roots music for space on the family stereo. Having toured the country in his late teens and early 20’s with a couple of bands that just didn’t inspire him, Deputy followed his muse back to the Atlantic coast, where he began to craft his own approach to music as a solo artist. Deputy embraced the creative freedom of performing alone, but soon realized it also had its limitations. Thus, he began to employ live looping as a means of filling out the sound. Deputy is now a full band unto himself, made possible through simple technology, but delivered by a skill and mastery of technique, made pure through the injection of warm, charming soul. From his base in Hilton Head, Deputy has been performing 250-300 shows a year for the last four years. Zach Deputy is sponsored by Godin Guitars, and plays nothing else. www.zachdeputy.com

In 2004 he joined Grammy winner Gonzalo Rubalcaba, recording on his Grammy-nominated album, Paseo (Blue Note).

Throughout the years he has continued to develop his solo work and in 2007 released his first solo CD, Dimensions, recorded in Brazil. This album incorporated Felipe’s Afro-Cuban roots with a blend of Brazilian music and straight-ahead jazz. He is currently promoting his quintet, Afro-Cuban Beats.
Felipe has shared the stage with musical giants such as Herbie Hancock, Michael Brecker, Wynton Marsalis, Eldar, Dafnis Prieto, Ignacio Berroa and many others, participating in Major Jazz Festivals in the U.S. and abroad including JVC, Playboy, Newport, Henieken Jazz, Red Sea and in venues such as Blue Note, Iridium, Jazz Standard, Yoshi’s, Dizzy’s Club Coca Cola and many more.

Design Miami/, the global forum for design, will hold the 2011 edition of its show November 30 – December 4, in a custom structure, erected adjacent to its sister fair Art Basel Miami Beach. The fair boasts a newly expanded gallery program with choice exhibitors from America, Europe, Asia and Africa presenting important works of 20th and 21st century design, including furniture, lighting and objets d’art. This year’s fair will see a 50% increase in participating galleries and will host a program of Talks, Satellite Exhibitions and custom commissions exploring the relationship between design and architecture.
Design Miami/ has become the destination for collectors seeking both established and cutting-edge emerging design for private and museum collections. Each fair presents a competitively curated selection of international galleries – all top specialists in their fields – representing important works by French architects of 40s and 50s, Brazilian and California Modern, Scandinavian Mid-Century, Postmodern Italian design, the French 60s and 70s, Korean craft, artists’ and designers’ jewelry and a large spectrum of experimental contemporary work from both lauded established and emerging designers.
The fair’s list of prestigious exhibitors draws influential collectors, institutions, designers, critics and industry luminaries from around the world. Design Miami/ maintains a consistent roster of the world’s most active design galleries, including: Galerie Patrick Seguin (Paris), Galerie kreo (Paris), Carpenters Workshop Gallery (London & Paris), Demisch Danant (NY), R 20th Century (NY), Johnson Trading Gallery (NY), Jousse Entreprise (NY) and Cristina Grajales Gallery (NY). This Miami fair also welcomes back Galerie Downtown – François Laffanour (Paris), Dansk Møbelkunst Gallery (Zurich & Paris), Hostler Burrows (NY), moss (NY), Magen H. Gallery (NY) and Galerie VIVID (Rotterdam).
First-time exhibitors include Didier Ltd (London), Galerie Maria Wettergren (Paris), Galerie Pierre Marie Giraud (Brussels), Mark McDonald (Hudson, NY), Modernity (Stockholm) and Novalis Fine Arts (Turin). In addition, the Design On/Site program, the showcase for small-scale yet high-level exhibitions of new work by individual designers or studios, will include Design Miami’s first ever participant from Africa, Southern Guild (Wilderness).
Alongside these venerable galleries, Design Miami/ organizes a cultural program that profiles established and up-and-coming designers, commissions new architectural and design work and brings together luminaries from the worlds of design, art, fashion and architecture to discuss their influences and process.
A highlight of this December’s show is the site-specific installation by Designer of the Year Award winner, UK-based architect David Adjaye. As his award commission, Adjaye will create a pavilion, entitled Genesis. Adjaye calls Genesis his first work of “giant architectural furniture†that combines structure, seating,
windows and doors into a single gesture.
For the second consecutive year, Design Miami’s Design Talks series will be moderated by W Magazine Editor-in-Chief Stefano Tonchi. Over the course of three days, these conversations will include a selection the world’s top architects, discussing their careers, collaborations and passions.
As part of the show’s series of satellite exhibitions, the Miami Design District presents in collaboration with the Buckminster Fuller Foundation, utopian architect Fuller’s 1970s Fly’s Eye Dome alongside Lord Norman Foster’s reconstructed Dymaxion car. The fair also welcomes a capsule exhibition of the french design show Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity presented by The Wolfsonian Museum.
Design Miami’s ambitious curatorial program and investment in bringing the most exciting names in design to the fair would not be possible without the generous commitment of its partners. Audi, Design Miami’s Exclusive Automotive Sponsor, Fendi and Swarovski Crystal Palace will unveil new design projects at the fair; Veuve Clicquot and Cappellini also continue their support with the 2011 show.

Liberty, Equality, And Fraternity
Reception on Friday, December 2, 2011
During Art Basel Miami Beach
The Wolfsonian
1001 Washington Avenue
Miami Beach, Florida 33139
Exhibition Organized by The Wolfsonian–FIU
From the Collection of the Centre national des art plastiques
On View November 25, 2011-March 26, 2012
The Wolfsonian–Florida International University presents Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity, an exhibition exploring French cultural identity through design produced from the mid-twentieth century to the present. The exhibition will be on view from November 25, 2011 through March 26, 2012 and is organized by The Wolfsonian from the collection of the Centre national des arts plastiques, France (National Center for Visual Arts or CNAP). The opening of the exhibition will coincide with the celebration of Art Basel Miami Beach/Design Miami 2011.
“The French motto—liberté, egalité, fraternité—serves as the conceptual framework for this intriguing exhibition,†notes Marianne Lamonaca, The Wolfsonian’s associate director for curatorial affairs and education. “For Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity, we took an entirely new approach to our curatorial practice by engaging in a dynamic dialogue with the French designers and design historian who collaborated with us on this project: matali crasset, Michael Amzalag and Mathias Augustyniak of M/M (Paris), and Alexandra Midal. Together we have shaped a unique presentation of French design objects from the collection of the Centre national des arts plastiques in Paris, France that express ideas about French national identity.â€
Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity examines the changing political, economic, and cultural contexts in which French design is created and disseminated. It also takes into account the concrete and symbolic impact that design has in shaping perceptions and aspirations. Approximately one hundred and fifty objects will be exhibited, including furniture, industrial design, and craft, created by some of the most celebrated French designers of the past and present, including Pierre Paulin, Roger Tallon, Philippe Starck, and the Bouroullec Brothers, as well as others lesser known in the United States.
“The collaboration is a perfect fit for The Wolfsonian and its mission to foster the understanding and appreciation of design as an active agent in human affairs. In tracing an alternative genealogy of French design history from the late 1940s to the present, Liberty, Equality, Fraternity will identify areas of design practice that engage with social, political, technological, and economic forces and their changing contexts over time,†notes Cathy Leff, director of The Wolfsonian. “The objects on display—from prototypes to industrial design products—have as their underlying premise the belief that design is politically and culturally relevant.â€
A note about the display: Presented in nine narrative clusters, the exhibition is displayed within a network of related, yet unique, settings, and joined by viewing rooms for related films. The nine sections focus attention on individual designers, such as Roger Tallon and Philippe Starck; on important episodes in French industrial design history, for example, the seminal work of the research and development division of Thomson electronics in the 1990s; and on the influence of les villes nouvelles (new towns) built during the 1960s and 1970s. They each carry evocative titles that inform the interpretation and the display, such as the frame (French design digest), the barricade (design after the 1968 uprisings), and the star (Philippe Starck).
The installation design, conceived as a collaboration among matali crasset, M/M Paris, and Alexandra Midal, will be staged on wood units that can be assembled to serve as stools, plinths, pedestals, or other display elements; all units will be painted blue, white or red in reference to the French flag. The units are based on the Modulor, the celebrated measuring system that Le Corbusier created in 1943. Modular is a measuring tool based on the human body and on mathematics. A man-with arm-upraised provides, at the determining points of his occupation of space—foot, solar plexus, head, tips of fingers of the upraised arm—three intervals which give rise to a series of golden sections. It was the organizing measure for Le Corbusier’s designs, from chairs and tables to la Cité Radieuse.

Gary Nader is requesting artworks by some of the most important Latin American, Modern and Contemporary artists.
Highlights of artworks already on consignment include Roy Lichtenstein’s iconic large scale aluminum painted sculpture “Three Brushstrokes”, executed in 1984, estimated at $3,000,000 to $5,000,000. “Three Brushstrokes” is a classic image by a world class artist; it’s a fluid and energetic representation of three brushstrokes of primary colors, red, yellow and blue coming together as a frozen gesture. “Three Brushstrokes” evokes the movement and color of paint on canvas but in a dynamic new medium.
