Peruvian American Chamber Of Commerce Of South Florida To Present “Taste Of Peruâ€, Debut A Peruvian Pavilion And Offer Seminars At 14th Americas Food & Beverage Show
The Americas Food & Beverage Show hosts its first-ever open to the public event, “Taste of Peruâ€, a celebration of Peruvian Food, Spirits and Specialties.
The food of the Andes will be showcased, for the first time, at this year’s Americas Food & Beverage Show on October 23 – 24, the weekend preceding the trade show (open to the public), and October 25 – 27, 2010 (trade only) at the Miami Beach Convention Center. The show organizers, World Trade Center Miami, have partnered with the Peruvian American Chamber of Commerce of South Florida (PACCSF) to bring this new element to fruition, which includes cuisine-related activities such as an inauguration cocktail, seminars, dance performances, contests, tastings and cooking demos.
In recent years, Peruvian food has become a global cuisine and is the new darling of the culinary world. In Miami, Florida alone, there’s an estimated 135 Peruvian restaurants. Julio Rodriguez, President of the PACCSF, has made it his mission to promote the innovation and sophistication of the foods and beverages of his native Peru. As such, in addition to the weekend festivities named above, he has organized two seminars, taking place Monday, October 25th. The first, hosted by a renowned Peruvian Chef, will focus on special ingredients, chef secrets, recipes and other like topics. The latter seminar will spotlight how to successfully launch a Peruvian food & beverage business.
The PACCSF will also be debuting the Peruvian Pavilion. According to Rodriguez, eight companies will be exhibiting at the Peruvian Pavilion with coffees, Piscos, beverages, seafood and other food products. “Peru has 84 of 104 ecosystems that exist in the world making its ingredients and dishes as varied as the imagination itself,†said Rodriguez.
“Given the Free Trade Agreement between Peru and the United States, working closely with Peru was a natural choice,†said Charlotte Gallogly, President of the World Trade Center Miami. “The participation of countries like Peru underscores the scope and reach of our trade show as we become more and more international and continue to contribute to cross-border trade.”
Additionally, two Peruvian chef teams will be competing in the VI Annual Americas Chef Competition scheduled for October 26-27, 2010. Visit www.peruchamberusa.com to learn more about the weekend-long Peruvian activities. Tickets available for purchase online at myticketusa.com.

Spinello Gallery: 155 NE 38th Street, No. 101, Miami, Florida – 33137
Solo: Farley Aguilar | “The Fates”
Opening Reception: Saturday, October 9th, 7-10pm
Exhibition through November 3rd, 2010.
Spinello Gallery is proud to present the much-anticipated solo debut gallery exhibition of Farely Aguilar, “The Fates.” The exhibition features a suite of haunting and mystical oil paintings, works on mylar, and video.
Fate: the principle or determining cause or will by which things in general are believed to come to be as they are or events to happen as they do. Unknowable forces from within us and outside of us determine the course our existence will take.
Aguilar’s works are representations of this fatalism. The Fates are composed of three sisters, each having a part in determining human destiny and are all represented in his latest series. Aguilar explains, “Clotho, the youngest, spins your lifeline; Lachesis, the middle one, decides the length of your lifeline; Atropos, the eldest, cuts your life thread.” All human endeavor is based on fighting against the power of fate. Science, religion, art, etc.., tries to establish stability, or control, over the precarious circumstances of existence. The eternal search to create truth causes more destruction than harmony. This is one of the fundamental contradictions of human nature. Ulf, an old Norse term for wolf, is the predominate subject within Aguilar’s latest narrative. He is a pawn of fate at the micro level, or individual scale. His dual nature of both wolf and man create contradictions that he cannot understand. Aguilar notes, “Shakespeare’s Macbeth had a great influence on the show and Ulf is a stand in for Macbeth. The witches, or Fates, conjure up spells on him. He must endure the destiny that has been casted upon him.”
Spinello Gallery prides itself in exhibiting intelligent works of art in every medium by contemporary local Miami emerging artists. Spinello Gallery has become the playground for unorthodox and experimental artists who don’t easily fit into the confines of the traditional gallery space. Spinello Gallery is steadily making headway in the Miami Art Scene and beyond becoming a contender in the Art World.

One Night Performance: Agustina Woodgate | “Growing Up”
Miami-Dade Public Library: 101 W Flagler Street, Miami, Florida – 33130
Thursday, October 7th, Doors open at 6:30 pm / Performance begins at 7 pm
Spinello Gallery is pleased to announce a one night improvised photo/performance by Agustina Woodgate featuring Anthony Spinello at the Miami-Dade Public Library.
This time Woodgate invites the audience to witness, “Growing Up”, based on the English fairy tale “Jack and the Beanstalk.” She will activate Miami’s main house of books as her storytelling stage where forgotten library treasures will play. Anthony Spinello will be joining the artist for the first time as Jack in this one night theatrical performance.
Fairy Tales are the first stories we hear and are meant to enchant and entertain. They offer us a mean of addressing psychological and behavioral issues. Every performance has a long progressive narrative. The actions of the performers, typically the artist and a family member, are directed by a musical score assisting the audience to feel a variety of moods, tensions, or dialogues. In each performance the endeavor has been to distill the action to the basic components of the primary message behind each tale. “Fairy Tale” series is an ongoing series of Photo/Performances that began in 2008.
Agustina Woodgate explores the social narratives of human relationships, rather than independent and private space, as a theoretical and practical point of departure. She creates responses to these narratives through situations that unveil the tensions between the natural-becoming-unnatural, and the unnatural-becoming-natural as constructions of our surreal and very real human condition. Her work discovers illogical scenarios that appear in an otherwise realistic or even “normal” setting to explore transience in beliefs and behaviors, revealing unconscious liaisons between these two worlds. Working with available, at hand, and everyday resources contributes a very important element of the conceptual process. Woodgate works inclusively and socially, finding new access points for communication to create public, intensive, and process-oriented works. She approaches the creation of a work as an ongoing discovery, and fold chance-elements, surprises, and synchronicity into everything she makes.

ANGEL VAPOR CONSTRUCTIONS
October 9
Edge Zones Art Center
47 NE 25th St, Miami, FL 33137
Edge Zones Art Center proudly presents Constructions, the second solo exhibition of Angel Vapor (La Havana, Cuba, 1970) at Edge Zones. The exhibition will open on October 9 and will run until November 6, 2010. The art critic Anne Tschida says of Vapor’s work ” whether it is sculpture, drawing, or painting, is at an elemental level about perspective and process: The process of construction, and by extension, about deconstruction — of objects, of space, of lives. Vapor continues to explore this process in his latest solo show at Edge Zones.
Vapor crafts his exquisite pieces out of bronze, clay, and oil paint, but in these constructions there is always a tension. That’s part of the beauty of his work; the materials and references are rigid and hard, but the ultimate result feels more fragile and fluid. Like in a delicate piece, a small sculpture made of bronze, where a disembodied arm protrudes from the wall — clearly a woman’s arm — and from her fingers hangs a bomb, but ever so tenuously, as it is only string that ties the two together. Life and death are hanging from a thread.
Strings attached to a hand reveal another aspect of process, that of the manipulator of lives and society. As an artist who was raised and educated within the tight political, physical, and emotional confines of the Cuban state, this part of the “construct” is never far from the surface. Sculptures positioned in vaguely military stances or movement, reflect another state in their facial composure — that of an inner detachment from this imposed outer structure.
Vapor plumbs the architecture of object and space, so he assembles his figurative works very precisely within the gallery setting. The placement and lighting of the artworks and their relationship to one another are critical to the overall perspective.
And like anything under construction, in these artworks something is left unformed — maybe a patch of surface area, or a foot. Like life, Vapor’s pieces are never static; there is a sense of movement created from the tensions within and the placement in their surroundings. In the end, New Constructions remind us of the true liberating power and beauty in art.”
Angel Vapor is a prolific artist whose works include paintings, sculptures, prints, public commissions and drawings. Vapor’s work has been exhibited internationally with critical reviews in El Nuevo Herald and is included in art books such as WET 2, (Edge Zones Press Miami). He studied at the National School of Visual Arts (ENAP), Havana, Cuba and at the Academy of Art, St. Alejandro (Habana, Cuba). His work has been frequently on display in galleries and cultural institution in and outside Miami, FL. There were solo exhibitions by his work in Jhoon Rhee Gallery, Washington, D.C., Ism, Gallery, Miami and in Carmen de la Guerra, Madrid, Spain. His commission pieces are on display in several places in the City of Miami, FL and in San Valentin, León, Spain.

The Bass Museum of Art is pleased to present The Nudist Museum by Ellen Harvey.
harvey showcases nudes that represent purity, titillation, truth, comedy, beauty, love and ugliness as well as simple representations of the human body. october 2 – november 7, 2010
The Bass Museum of Art is pleased to present The Nudist Museum by Ellen Harvey.
Ellen Harvey’s Nudist Museum uses the Bass Museum’s collection to reveal a wide variety of different historical paradigms of nudity. By copying every nude in the collection, which includes paintings, drawings and sculptures from the Middles Ages to the present, Harvey showcases nudes that represent purity, titillation, truth, comedy, beauty, love and ugliness, as well as simple representations of the human body. The fifty-four resulting paintings are far from exact copies. The nudes were copied from the museum’s documentation rather than from the originals, with the result that the level of detail in each painting strongly reflects the resolution of the source documentation. The images were also cropped to accentuate the nudes and Harvey chose to paint everything other than the human body in monochrome. For sculptures and drawings, Harvey randomly assigned flesh colors to the bodies depicted. The ornate second-hand frames have been painted so that the paintings appear to be spilling out of the canvas, alerting the viewer to the fact that the apparently conventional salon-style installation of old paintings is not what it seems. Similarly, upon closer inspection, the wallpaper behind the paintings can be seen to contain small examples of nudity found in today’s mass media, creating a humorous contrast between the world-views of the paintings and that of the world in which we live. The project is a continuation of a recent series of exhibitions in which Harvey redefines different gallery and museum spaces at the same time that she challenges the audience’s perception and understanding of the artworks that occupy such spaces.
The Nudist Museum will be on view October 2 – November 7, 2010 with an opening reception on October 2 from 3-5pm. Free to members and basspass and cost of admission to the museum for non-members.
Ellen Harvey was born in the United Kingdom and lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. Her work began to gather attention over a decade ago, when she “tagged†graffiti sites around New York City with small oval oil landscapes for The New York Beautification Project, which was subsequently published as a book by Gregory Miller & Co. Her work has since been the subject of numerous publications and periodicals. She has exhibited extensively in the U.S. and internationally and was featured in the 2008 Whitney Biennial. Her most recent solo exhibitions were Picturesque Pictures at Galerie Gebruder Lehmann and The Doppleganger Collections at Galerie Magnus Muller in Berlin, Germany. She is represented by Locks Gallery in Philadelphia, Stephan Stoyanov Gallery in New York, Meesendeclerq Gallery in Brussels, Belgium, Galerie Gebruder Lehmann and Galerie Magnus Muller in Berlin, Germany.

‘Naughty Volvo Tour’ Expands by Incorporating Drive Events into the All-New Volvo S60 Preview Experience
Miami: Gulfstream Park Race Track, October 2-3, 2010
More information about the Naughty Volvo Tour.
Consumers in Miami, Philadelphia, Chicago and Los Angeles can get behind the wheel of Volvo’s new sport sedan before it enters showrooms later this month
Volvo Cars of North America, LLC (VCNA) will host special consumer drive events to showcase its all-new S60 sport sedan as it was meant to be experienced – on the road. These events are part of the Naughty Volvo Tour – a series of experiential events to preview the S60 – which began in July and will continue through November.
“Initial feedback from the Naughty Volvo Tour has been extremely positive and has resulted in nearly 200 S60 pre-sales to date, which is impressive considering no one’s had the chance to drive the car yet. It really speaks to the strength of the car’s beautiful new design, the enthusiasm of our loyalists and Volvo’s reputation,†said Doug Speck, VCNA president and CEO. “We really focused on the driving dynamics to make the all-new S60 our sportiest Volvo ever so we’re excited to hear what people have to say once they drive it!â€
The drive events will allow prospective buyers and car enthusiasts to take on the S60’s 300 horsepower T6 engine with AWD in a series of performance activities like a slalom demo, suspension bumps, an “S†cornering exercise and a timed autocross. They can also experience Pedestrian Detection with Full Auto Brake, Volvo’s groundbreaking technological solution which utilizes a radar- and camera-based system to detect pedestrians in front of the car, warn the driver if someone walks into its path, and then automatically activate the S60’s full braking power if the driver fails to respond in time.
Attendees can participate in a competition to win an Apple® iPad, and will also be entered into a contest to win an all-new Volvo S60 and a trip to Sweden.

Blogalicious 2010 is expected to have an attendance of hundreds of social media influencers from various backgrounds. Featured workshops include Marketing to Women of Color, Building Your Social Media Tribe and The Value and Metrics of Diversity at Conferences.
Marc Morial, president of National Urban League is set to appear as one of the keynote speakers. He will speak on Sunday, October 10, at 9 a.m. The National Urban League is a historic civil rights organization dedicated to economic empowerment in order to elevate the standard of living in historically underserved urban communities. The Urban League recently celebrated its centennial in Washington, D.C.
Other speakers include Miriam Muley, The 85% Niche; Elisa Camahort Page, BlogHer, Inc.; Wayne Sutton, Social Wayne; and Dr. Otis Brawley, American Cancer Society.

The Blogalicious Weekend conferences celebrate diversity among women in social media by offering educational, networking and social opportunities geared towards women (and men!) of all backgrounds. Blogalicious Weekend 2010, will be in Miami, Florida on October 8-10, 2010. Mamalaw Media Group, the founder of Blogalicious Weekend is responsible for other ventures, including monthly webinars called Blogalicious Bytes: Lessons in Social Media, My Blogalicious, a virtual community of contributing editors serving as a destination for news, entertainment resources and op-ed content for women of color online, and The bLink Marketing Network.

World renowned Show from Spain gives locals a ghoulishly entertaining spectacle
On October 8th , Miami will be invaded by monsters, ghouls and goblins, when Circo de los Horrores U.S.A. debuts for the first time to American audiences from Spain. Seen by more than two million people throughout Europe and South America, this live touring production is a unique blend of human circus and horror featuring world- class acrobats, dancers and Cirque Du Soleil-like specialty acts from around the world.
“Miami is known as the Gateway to Americas and we are excited to bring this global touring show to the U.S. for the first time,†said Francisco Santos, CEO of Full Moon Productions. “We are looking forward to transforming Miami into a city of ghouls.â€
All throughout Europe, Circo de los Horrores has been called a mix of circus and theater. With an ominous setting that will first whisk spectators through a haunted corridor, the experience is set to lead them into a world of the super natural. Thereafter, the audience is introduced to a graveyard scene—the unknown awaiting, and spine- tingling horror rearing its head at every corner.
Ghoulish acts range from stunning aerial acts and elevated tightrope performances, to breathtaking acrobatics and comical audience interactions. Contortionists, jugglers, acrobats and clowns lurk through an eerie mist rising from below. Their disposition Circo de los Horrores unmistakably mirroring that of the living dead as they carry onlookers to a Gothic cemetery set in the 19th century. Slowly, screams pierce through the darkness and lumps form over throats as creatures from beyond the grave zealously creep ahead. Many will be passed through guillotines; others will have knives hurled at them. Some will be enclosed in cages and still others will be restrained in straitjackets. With a bloodcurdling environment and a predisposition to shriek, the end result is an explosive cocktail of scream, thrill and awe.

Willy S
“Love Life And Politics”
“Love Life and Politicsâ€
by Willy S – The Haitian Sensation
Willy Saintidor’s musical style is the result of a lifetime of struggle. A native of Haiti, Saintidor’s unique brand of soulful and rhythmic Reggae is expected to lure countless new fans from across the globe. Saintidor is quick to point out that while his music has been shaped by his own life experience, he has been inspired by the music of Bob Marley, Marvin Gaye, Peter Tosh and Lucky Dube, just to name a few. These artists not only succeeded on a universal scale, but they did it their way. Willy aspires to follow in the footsteps of these legends.
Willy Saintidor sings songs that are rhythmically beautiful, with profound thought provoking lyrics that speak about all issues that affect life. Willy S is truly the new Haitian Sensation!
Reggae Is Alive

A new brand of athlete has emerged as identified by lead therapist at the Spa at Shore Club in South Beach, Christian LaSalle. Like professional sports athletes, the corporate athlete is called on by their employer to produce results in environments with uncomfortable chairs, high amounts of stress and increased tension caused by irregular sleeping patterns. The Corporate Athlete Treatment, a 60-minute massage featured only at the luxurious Spa at Shore Club is the answer to these problems and focuses on the head, neck and shoulders to mitigate discomfort from the following sources:
– Blackberry and PDA usage
– Laptop computer use or improper height of desktop computer screen
– Carrying heavy purse/bag on shoulder
– Crimping the telephone between ear and shoulder
– Unhelpful sleep posture
The specialty service costs $125 for 60 minutes or can be purchased in a series of 5 sessions for $500 and includes customized massage therapy and stretching for maximum benefits. The Spa at Shore Club is located at 1901 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach, FL. Reservations can be made at 305.695.3293.

RA SUSHI IN SOUTH MIAMI PRESENTS OCTOBER
Promotions & Events LINE-UP
RA Sushi, the stylish sushi restaurant and bar in South Miami, is pleased to announce its October 2010 menu promotions and events line-up including International Sake Day, “RA-ctoberfest†or what the Japanese call “Nihonshu no Hi;†its ONEHOPE and Pink Roll promo benefitting the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc.; the introduction of its newest roll, The King James; and its Halloween celebration entitled “Boo Bash.â€
RA Sushi in South Miami’s October 2010 menu promo and events line-up:
Oct. 1-31, 2010: International Sake Day/“Nihonshu no Hiâ€
Fall, specifically the month of October, represents a beginning in the sake world: the start of a new brewing term. For this reason, Oct. 1 is known as “Nihonshu no Hi” (Sake Day) in Japan or International Sake Day throughout the rest of the world. In order to honor this special holiday, RA Sushi in South Miami will be celebrating “RA-ctoberfest†with a $9 unique and appetizing sake flight menu offered to all guests during the entire month.
Sake is a traditional Japanese rice wine that may be paired with different dishes, similar to wine pairing. Each sake has its own numeric rating. This rating can help sake novices decide which variety to try first. This number is usually listed on the bottle and is included on RA’s drink menus. The lower, negative numbers mean the sake is sweeter and heavier. The higher a positive number is, the drier the sake will be. Please see below for a simple breakdown of sake ratings:
Sake Meter Value (Nihonshu–Do):
· Sweetest (–20)
· Driest (+10)
The special sake flights will feature the following premium cold sakes:
Tozai “Living Jewel†Junmai (+6): Complex aromas of white grape, anise and a hint of sweet rice flavor with a clean, dry finish
Hakutsuru Sayuri “Little Lily†Junmai Nigori (-11): Coarsely filtered sake with hints of coconut and melon with a smooth, creamy finish
Kizakura “Pure†STARS (-18): Kizakura “Pure†STARS is produced with a secondary fermentation in the bottle, much like Champagne. Unique and festive for celebrating any special occasion or simply an everyday treat, Kizakura “Pure†STARS is sweet, crisp and effervescent. It is minimally filtered to maintain its round, satisfying flavor. Enjoyable before or after dinner, it pairs nicely with spicy foods.
OCT. 15-NOV. 15, 2010: ONEHOPE and Pink Roll Promo
From Friday, Oct. 15 to Monday, Nov. 15, all RA Sushi Bar Restaurant locations will donate 100 percent of the profits from the sale of the “ONEHOPE and Pink Roll†special to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc. (NBCF).
The NBCF’s mission is to save lives through early cancer detection and to provide mammograms to those in need. ONEHOPE is a California wine company that donates half of its profits to breast cancer awareness, among other causes.
The “ONEHOPE and Pink Roll†special will be offered for $15 and includes ONEHOPE wine and the signature Pink Roll. The Pink Roll features shrimp, kani kama crab mix and sriracha combined with lettuce, avocado and cucumber wrapped in pink soy paper and served with a pink strawberry sauce. The roll is paired with a glass of ONEHOPE 2009 California Chardonnay.
OCT. 26, 2010-APRIL 13, 2011: The King James Roll
The highly anticipated Miami Heat season is right around the corner and RA Sushi in South Miami will pay homage to the team’s royalty with “The King James Roll†in honor of newest player LeBron James. The shrimp tempura, crab mix and cucumber rolled and topped with red beet tempura flakes and drizzled with a sweet eel sauce not only sports the basketball team’s colors, but will also be sold for $6 reminiscent to LeBron James’ jersey number. The roll will be available for the entire season starting on Oct. 26, 2010 through April 13, 2011.
OCT. 31, 2010: Boo Bash Halloween Party
RA Sushi in South Miami makes the perfect hot spot for ghoulish tricks and treats during the Boo Bash Halloween edition of the restaurant’s already popular Sunday night “Flying Fish Lounge.†The freakish fun starts at 8 p.m. with music, a variety of half-priced sushi and appetizers, plus great drink specials topped off with a “Best Costume†contest awarding the winner with a $100 RA gift certificate.

On Thursday evening, October 14, from 5 to 8 p.m., the Dixie Art Loft will open its doors with an Invitational Group Art Exhibit showcasing local celebrity, as well as newly emerging artists. The exhibit will continue through Saturday, November 20, 2010.
The Dixie Art Loft is a new gallery space created by Betty Wilson, artist and founder of the Craft Gallery. Her efforts on behalf of local and national artists have introduced new artists and their works to the Palm Beach County community for nearly three decades. This gallery will feature Exceptional Work by Exceptional Artists on a regular basis. All shows will be juried, presenting the best of what the nation and region has to offer. It will showcase ceramics, paintings, photography, sculptures, glass, jewelry and mixed media. The space is designed with the artist, the art collector and the avid art buyer in mind.
Out on a Limb is the starting point from which both literal and metaphorical art will be created.

She has captured this work in a collection of books available to the public. They have become an almanac of the range of brilliant work created by local artists.

The Center for Visual Communication is proud to launch the season with an energized exhibition of paintings from an important new movement in contemporary art. The work is Bold, Vibrant, Hot and infused with color – like Miami itself.
Renowned painter and Guggenheim fellow Darby Bannard is charting the course of a new direction in abstract painting. And Miami is the focal point for this exciting development involving not only Bannard but a new generation of highly skilled and intellectually challenging painters.
Consistent in breaking new ground over his career of five decades, Bannard ignited the major art movements of Minimalism in the late 1950’s with Frank Stella and Color Field Painting in the 1960’s with Jules Olitski and Kenneth Noland. Bannard and The Miami School form the next big change in direction he has led.
From the time he was lured to Miami from Princeton to take the post of chair of the University of Miami Art and Art History Department twenty years ago Bannard has been mentor and colleague to a string of talented and committed artists that now form the nexus of a new movement in abstract painting.
This new direction celebrates art which is about beauty, reason, logic, esthetic perception, and the joy of human discourse – a revival of themes common in historically significant paintings which have become the foundations of art history. The artists of the group understand that innovation should lead only to excellence and that good art is very hard to do.
The exhibition features Bannard and six younger painters that form the core of this new group, all of whom have worked in Miami with the benefit of Bannard’s guidance at varying times over the last two decades. All share an understanding that great art learns from the past to innovate in the present.
The paintings, which are abstract, cover a wide variety of styles and methods. They reflect Bannard’s encouragement that each artist seek their own direction by finding their individual voice and their innovate spirit. The works range from the bright geometry of Andy Gambrell to the poured and puddled color of George Bethea. Sean Smith and Kathleen Staples combine hard edges, brilliant color and and richly modelled acrylic mediums while Kerry Ware’s pictures exhibit subtle shifts of color on scrubbed surfaces. David Marsh surprises us with dark tones and ingenious, imaginative combinations of unlikely elements.
The work is infused with the spirit of place – bright, hot and intense with color – just like the city itself. For these artists painting is a source of spiritual nourishment that goes beyond labels, language, gimmicks and glitz. It is a new beginning and it is the real thing – The Miami School.

10/02/10 FUNNY GIRL “Director William Wyler’s classic musical tells the story of legendary Ziegfeld Follies comedienne Fanny Brice (Barbra Streisand, in an Oscar-winning role), an unconventional beauty who grew up in the Jewish slums of New York dreaming of stardom. When Brice ï¬nally becomes the toast of Broadway, the resentful reaction of her husband (Omar Sharif) threatens to destroy their marriage. The ï¬lm received eight Oscar nominations.â€
10/09/10 DARK VICTORY “Fast living comes easy for Long Island socialite Judith Traherne (Bette Davis), who counts throwing lavish soirees, enjoying free- flowing booze and raising thoroughbreds among the many pleasures in her hedonistic existence. But a horse-jumping accident forces her to come to terms with her lifestyle — and mortality — when a handsome doctor (George Brent) discovers that Judith suffers from a potentially fatal brain tumor. Humphrey Bogart co-stars.â€
10/16/10 WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE “In this Grand Guignol chiller, Hudson sisters Jane (Bette Davis) and Blanche (Joan Crawford), both aging actresses, share a rotting Los Angeles mansion, where Jane, once a vaudeville headliner, remains lost in her deranged childhood fantasies. When a devastating car crash — blamed on a drunken Jane — leaves Blanche wheelchair- bound, her increasingly psychotic sister seizes the chance to settle a jealous score.â€
10/23/10 VERTIGO “One of Alfred Hitchcock’s darkest and most compelling suspense ï¬lms tells the story of police detective Scottie Ferguson (James Stewart), who has a crippling fear of heights — and an all-consuming obsession with a married woman. When an old friend asks him to tail his wife (Kim Novak), Scottie is drawn into a vortex of deceit and murder. But that’s only the beginning as a mesmerizing score draws Scottie to the ï¬lm’s haunting ï¬nal shot.â€
10/30/10 PSYCHO “When larcenous real estate clerk Marion Crane (Janet Leigh) goes on the lam with a wad of cash and hopes of starting a new life, she ends up at the notorious Bates Motel, where twitchy manager Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins) cares for his housebound mother. The place seems quirky but ï¬ne … until Marion decides to take a shower. Director Alfred Hitchcock’s Oscar-nominated shocker has been terrifying viewers for decades — and for good reason.â€

Flora Fong and Li DomÃnguez Fong
The Mother, The Son: Two Artists, One Passion
There are only a few days left so see this excellent bi-personal exhibition that has attracted over 600 visitors. The show features over forty works rendered by both artists and will be on view through October 20.
Longtime writer, editor and art critic for the Miami Herald since 1980, FABIOLA SANTIAGO interviewed the artists the day after their successful Opening Night, and commented in her insightful review…
“Mother-and-son Cuban artists Flora Fong and Li DomÃnguez Fong have traveled to South Florida
from their home in Havana for a joint exhibition of their works, The Mother, The Son: Two Artists,
One Passion, at Coral Gables’ Cernuda Arte.
[…] Fong’s paintings and sculptures are charged with the tropical vigor of the Cuban countryside
and framed by symbols of her Chinese ancestry. DomÃnguez’s angst-laden works are enigmatic
landscapes in textured grays, black and white. Broken or incomplete bridges and stairwells –
and people – populate his art.
[..] Sunflowers, palm trees, red fish, a cafecito cup, the smoke of a cigar and the sea are primary
elements in the paintings she creates in her studio… A painting of a tropical island-like mountain
is anchored by the Chinese character for forest.
[…]On the other hand, DomÃnguez, who is exhibiting work created during the last eight years, has a more critical view of life. His peasants and fishermen seem sad, pensive, and as in the striking, A la espera (In the Waiting), disillusioned. The stairwell doesn’t seem to lead anywhere. The bridge becomes something else, something elusive. […] Every painting has a phantasmagoric quality.â€

Locust Projects’ Eighth Annual “Smash and Grab†Fall Fundraiser Event
Saturday, November 6, 2010
6:30-9:30pm
Auction starts promptly at 7:30pm
Locust Projects
155 NE 38th Street #100
Miami, FL 33137
305.576.8670
www.locustprojects.org
Each year our event brings contemporary artists and collectors together to help support Locust Projects. The “Smash and Grab” event is Locust Projects’ largest source of revenue for the year. The proceeds provide essential funding for exhibitions and programming.
How it works:
There is no other fundraiser quite like this one. The event revolves around a raffle, for which over one hundred local, national and international artists have donated artwork — enough so that each raffle ticket is guaranteed to win an artwork. Tickets are drawn at random during the party, with the winner getting their choice of artwork (i.e, first called gets first pick, and so on). The result is a fun way to place artwork into collections, connect with Miami’s art community, and support Locust Projects.
Over 100 participating artists!

Fight Like a Girl: Women’s self defenses classes being held in October in light of October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Fight Like a Girl: Center for Medical Weight Loss at University Drive Hosts Women’s Self Defense Classes on October 4th and 21st
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month and Proceeds Benefit Women in Distress of Broward County
Statistics show that 31 million crimes are reported annually in the United States: that’s about one crime per second. In an effort to empower women and teach them to fight back against crime, The Center for Medical Weight Loss at University Drive is hosting two women’s self defense classes in October. The $10 classes are open to the public and take place from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Monday, October 4th and Thursday, October 21st in honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month in October. All proceeds go to benefit Women in Distress of Broward County.
The Center’s martial arts instructor, Michelle Straka, is a second degree black belt who trained for 15 years under the Grand Master Sung Wuk Chung, a world champion and ninth degree black belt. Straka will teach personal safety focused on awareness, prevention and self-realization of one’s physical power. Women will be taught key moves such as the palm heel strike, elbow jab and how to use what’s in hand as a weapon including an umbrella, car keys, hand bag, cell phone or pen. As well as learning defense techniques, participants will also receive a great motivational workout empowering the mind and the body.
“Most people who are victimized never imagined that crime would happen to them,†explains Gabriela Rosenthal, a weight loss specialist with the Center. “Only about 10 percent of self-defense is actually physical. The best defense is just being aware of your surroundings and taking preventive measures which we will teach in our complimentary workshop.â€
The legendary ‘Pisco Bus’ celebrates its one year anniversary on September 30th: wearing pants, optional.
Gran Sierpe Pisco, Yelp and the Miami Rescue Mission have formed an invigorating partnership on this venture.
September 30, 2010 from 6pm – 10:30pm
The route will begin at Cafeina and continue on to The Tides, and two other South Florida locations.
Cost FREE!
More Info
What if we told you that all this excitement was over a very conventional yet ominous figure of years passed? Would you be surprised to find out that all the fuss is over a mere school bus? Now thanks to Gran Sierpe Pisco, school buses have earned a new place in our hearts. No longer will these means of transportation be identified with boring classes and short lunch breaks, instead they will forever be synonymous with one word: party.
This month, the Gran Sierpe Pisco Bus is celebrating its one-year anniversary! A popular fixture on the Miami party scene, the beloved “Pisco Bus†has been summoned by international and local fans alike! On September 30th the coveted Miami experience is back again to transport passengers to the best venues in town to sample distinctive Gran Sierpe cocktails!
This time, instead of the traditional yellow transportation, the primary vehicle will be a repurposed school bus (So Flo Bus Tours has supplied the transport). Befitting to the experience the bus has been completely gutted to accommodate wraparound seating, numerous tables, and a complete stereo and light system. To commemorate this grandiose affair, the night’s festivities will culminate in an open celebration of the bus’s one year at the celebrated Cafeina (297 northwest 23rd street.)
Giving Back In honor of the one-year anniversary, Gran Sierpe has decided to contribute to a greater cause. Gran Sierpe will be asking all males to donate their pants to the Miami Rescue Mission, making this month’s festivities a bottoms-optional occasion. The non-profit organization for the homeless has recently expressed its urgent need for this male attire, inspiring the philanthropic theme for the evening.
Blurring the line between old and new, Pisco, the three-century-old Peruvian liquor, is currently making a comeback nationwide. Artisan Brands, a family owned manufacturer and distributor of hand crafted, high-end spirits, has successfully launched Gran Sierpe Pisco, a zesty premium spirit that promises to bring back the art of cocktailing. Gran Sierpe will lead the American rebirth of the grape brandy and has already been named the #1 exporter of Peruvian Pisco. The brand has received numerous awards including: “Best in Class†in the category at both The New York Spirits Awards and the International Wine and Spirit Competition and received a gold medal at the 2010 SIP Awards. Gran Sierpe first took a bite out of Miami, FL and is making its way to national fame beginning with CA, TX, NY, IL, DC, MD, DE, GA, TN, KY, LA and NH.
Miami Rescue Mission, Inc. is a tax-exempt, charitable non-profit organization
that has provided human services to the homeless and needy of metropolitan
Miami since 1922. The mission is to transform lives of homeless men, women and children through comprehensive residential programs to effect lasting change and empower them to be productive members of society. We provide food, shelter, substance abuse treatment, education, computer literacy, job placement, healthcare, spiritual development and housing.

Thursday, September 30, 9pm
Van Dyke Cafe
846 Lincoln Rd
Miami Beach
Cat Shell, a seductive songstress residing in Miami Beach, FL, is here to bring her unique mix of jazzy pop/soul to the listening ears of the world. Cat has taken her eclectic taste in music and formulated a style that combines the sounds of the past with the present. Cat Shell’s music brings with it an aura of familiarity and radio-friendly artistry.
Anthony Jordon, as a self taught photographer, my vision is just that: to see what can be shot and shown through my camera lens, and then presented as artistically and professionally as possible, exceeding the expectations of my clients.
Soul Of Miami is doing this just because we can. We like Cat and Anthony and Van Dyke, so we set this up so we could have a good photo gallery of one of our favorite singers. That’s it, we are making no money out of this, just doing it for fun. We hope you will join us for a drink and to listen to some excellent music. You’ll show up in the gallery, no doubt, as well. Hope to see you there!

Cecconi’s Set to Open in Miami’s Soho Beach House
Soho House Group announces the opening of the third location of its popular restaurant, Cecconi’s, on October 11th, which will debut as part of the new Soho Beach House in Miami. Overseeing the kitchen and executing the classic Venetian-influenced menu is acclaimed Executive Chef Sergio Sigala.
Inspired by the original London location—which was founded in 1978 and modeled after the first Cipriani in Venice, Italy,—the 150-seat Cecconi’s Miami is located on the ground floor of Soho Beach House, the recently renovated Art Deco Sovereign Hotel. Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner in an intimate setting, Cecconi’s offers superior service and is sure to entice the discerning tastes of its fellow Miami denizens and savvy visitors alike. The restaurant exudes the perfect blend of elegantly traditional cuisine and a relaxed atmosphere.
Sigala brings to Cecconi’s Miami a pedigree earned in some of the most esteemed kitchens in the world including Michelin-starred restaurants Al Bersagliere in Goito, Italy, and Ristorante Villa Fiordaliso in Lake Garda, Italy. Additionally, he was Chef of Italian Cuisine at the Sheraton Bahrain Hotel where he catered private parties and royal weddings at 16 different palaces for dignitaries such as the Sultan of Bahrain, Prince Charles and Nelson Mandela. For the past 10 years, this Northern Italian native was Executive Chef at Miami’s celebrated eatery, Casa Tua.
An ardent practitioner of sourcing quality, seasonal ingredients and using simple preparations, Sigala will add his own unique spin to the Cecconi’s Miami menu. He features all the same beloved dishes from the restaurant’s sister locations worldwide coupled with a robust steak and seafood program.
Menu highlights include Wood-Oven Roast Scallops with Pancetta and Rosemary; Kobe Beef Tartare with Truffle and Pecorino; Burrata, Red Onion and Fresh Tomato Pizza; Maine Lobster with House-made Spaghetti; Veal Ossobuco with Gremolata; and a first-rate selection of prime steaks served with truffle jus and garlic confit.
Whether they’re having a meal in the main dining room or simply grabbing drinks at the restaurant’s 14-seat bar, Cecconi’s guests can enjoy a diverse beverage program which features a 230-bottle wine list with a bevy of Italian, Spanish and South American selections; a choice variety of international and domestic beers; and handcrafted cocktails that consist of traditional Italian favorites alongside caipirinhas, mojitos and other libations which pay homage to Miami’s mix of Caribbean and Latin influences.
Cecconi’s Miami features outdoor garden-like seating that is sheltered by a retractable awning, allowing guests to enjoy their meal enveloped in the pleasure of Miami’s inviting weather. Additionally, the restaurant design includes antique Nile green stripped tile floors, allusive of the incredible hue of the nearby sea, and a garden of Silver Buttonwood trees.
Cecconi’s Miami is located at Soho Beach House, 4385 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, Fla., and is open Monday to Wednesday 8 a.m. to midnight, Thursday to Saturday 8 a.m. to 1 a.m., Sunday 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. For more information, please visit www.cecconisrestaurant.com.

Four years into playing the South Florida reggae circuit, The Resolvers have begun evolving on every front. Adding a full horn section and multiple female harmonizers, the new 11-piece outfit captures the essence of the classic big-band reggae sound: natural acoustic percussion, deep bass grooves, worldly drum rhythms, tasty vintage keyboards and bluesy guitar licks accented by timely horn blasts, all while being blended with modern song craftsmanship to create their own familiar yet original take on world music. Rooted by a core of five dedicated musicians including Dean Fishback (veteran keyboardist who has played with Inner Circle, Sugar Minot and Mikey Dread) and front man Ojay Smith (son of Jamaican legend Ernie Smith), The Resolvers are preparing to release a series of “double-sided singles” on disc and vinyl. The numbered limited-edition vinyl will feature art work commissioned specifically for each track, making each album a collector’s item.

“That 70’s Party”
October 7th, 2010, Thursday, 9pm-3am
The Manor Nightclub
2345 Wilton Drive, Wilton Manors, FL, 33305
October 7th, 7:30-11pm, The Manor Complex (2345 Wilton Drive, Fort Lauderdale) will help our World by hosting a Smart Ride fundraiser called “That 70’s Partyâ€. A benefit for the Smart Ride Team 995 where 100% of all the proceeds raised goes to 6 HIV/AIDS charities here in South Florida.
There are not many fundraisers that contribute 100%. This benefit is extraordinary because it is attracting people (Gay and Straight) from all over South Florida for one cause… to combat HIV/AIDS.
On November 19th at 5am, the Smart Ride Team 995 will be bicycling, along with over 1000 other riders and volunteers, 165 miles from Miami to Key West for all the funds that are raised! We want everyone to know that you can come and have a great time, be entertained and, at the same time, help a great cause!
October is Halloween month and for “That 70’s Party†guests are requested to dress in 70’s attire, walk the roped off “Red Carpet†and pose “Academy Award†style for the magazine cameras and enter the 70’s. 70’s Show clips and commercials will be playing on all the video screens! The MANOR Complex will be transformed into the 70’s by VISUAL XS (Vizcaya White Party), donating their services and props to transform the Manor Complex into the 70’s. It’ll be spectacular!
We are proud of the entertainment line-up that has joined our cause. The international and legendary STUDIO 54 and NY SAINT DJ, Robbie Leslie, (www.RobbieLeslie.com) will be transporting our guests “back to where it all began†with intermittent entertainment (STUDIO 54 and NY SAINT style).
Special appearances that night include our life-long friend, HIV activists and supporter, International Gold and Platinum album award winning STYX’s co-founder and bass guitarist, Chuck Panozzo, (www.ChuckPanozzosPlace.com) and (www.STYXworld.com) who will be taking time off from their current “Grand Illusion and Pieces of Eight†tour to perform their triple platinum hit “Come Sail Away†to help raise Smart Ride funds for HIV/AIDS. Also Jennifer Carbonell and Tony Cruz, both of whom have recent numerous hits on the Billboard dance charts will be performing that night.
Our Smart Ride Team 995 consists of 10 members so far. The diversity of our team represents the community, from ages 24 to 54, all bicycling 165 miles from Miami to Key West Nov 19th. Most of our team is doing this for their first time. There are four of us who are veterans. The team so far is Maritza Bedoya who says “I’m 54 but will be a hot Mama of 55 for the rideâ€. Butch Davison, 48. Amber Bishko, 24, of JuiceBlendz. Charlie Reynolds, 36 an accountant. Erich Sissel, 32, a project manager at Citrix. Richard Bryant, 46, at the Sheraton Hotel. Al Magdaleno, 45, Zach Spitzer, 28. Chris Rodriguez, 29, Dan Robichaud, 49, from TROPICS Restaurant.
The community has really pulled together for our team 995. The new owners of the Corner Pub, Shannon and Anthony, recently had a fundraiser and raised $636.00 for HIV/AIDS. They are still selling Jell-O shots for the entire month of Sept for our cause!
JuiceBlendz will be hosting 3 nights of fundraisers, Sept 22, 29, and October 4 from 4pm-9pm. They are giving a whopping 20% of all sales and general admission tickets for “That 70’s Party†will be discounted 50% with a purchase for the three fundraiser nights.
We want everyone to know our Team 995 sponsors and supporters, who have gone to great lengths for our community. MANORS Complex, GeoVax HIV/AIDS vaccines (www.GeoVax.com ) currently in their 2nd human clinical trials approved by the FDA and National Institute of Health (NIH) with a promising AIDS vaccine that is 87% effective (we are on the way to a vaccine!), JuiceBlendz, Regal Transportation, Sheraton Hotel Fort Lauderdale Airport, The Corner Pub, Chic Optique, Island City Fitness, TROPICS Restaurant and The Electric Bicycle Store (guests will be able to bid on electric bicycles at dealer prices for “That 70’s Partyâ€)
We also like to thank the Smart Ride 7 Sponsors. With out them, there wouldn’t be a Smart Ride. (Olive Garden, Rosie’s, Life Way Inc., Starbucks, AMR, and many more!) These organization provide food, water and medical services etc to the riders during the two day trek!
On another note, two members of the team, Al Magdaleno and Rich Bryant, have started a tradition 8 years ago on Christmas Day and are invited. They give out food and gift calling cards to the homeless in our community. This has been a rewarding experience to all that participate and usually brings a tear and a smile at the same time.
Last year, we gave some homeless people the opportunity to call their family to just let them know that they are alive or just have a meal when they didn’t know if they were going to eat. We have purchased these cards at our own expense, but last year The Avenue Project (www.TheAnevueProject.org ) joined us and was so touched that they nominated us this year to receive $5,000.00 in the Pepsi Refresh Project. Out of 10,000 applicants, we are number 97 so far. We have to be in the top ten to get the grant. It’s about voting! We would be so excited to receive the award because we always run out of cards to give.
Last year, there was a homeless girl who had a baby that needed medicine and we ran out of cards but reached in our pockets and helped her. We were personally broke for Christmas but it didn’t matter. Another time, this guy started crying on a beach bench and repeatedly said “God bless you, I didn’t know if I was going to eat tonight for Christmasâ€.
Others couldn’t believe we weren’t with a religious cause and were so thankful. Chuck Panozzo approached a very young kid two years ago that said he didn’t need it, only to be approached later by the same kid in tears saying “Sir, I could really use that, I haven’t eaten in two daysâ€.
Another girl hadn’t called her family in over a year and the guy, who gave her a calling card, in tears, gave her one. He had a similar situation with his nephew who was out on the streets and his family hadn’t heard from him in over a year. He couldn’t help crying as he gave her the calling card and made her promise to call her family.
All are welcome to participate this Christmas and we ask you to please vote at www.refresheverything.com/theavenueproject
Vote! You have to vote everyday for us to get in the top ten!
Together with your help for…
The Smart Ride Team 995 Fundraiser

The Paul Shewchuk Quartet featuring vocalist DeDee Wilde will be at Jazid Tuesday, October 26, from 11 PM to 2 AM. Jazid is at 1342 Washington Ave., South Beach. For more info call 305-673-9372 or visit jazid.net.
Miami native Diane Broomfield grew up in an eight-sibling family wherein music was a constantly defining factor. She picked up the nickname “Dee Dee” (which she now spells “DeDee”) in early childhood; and she borrowed the surname “Wilde” from older brother Ron, who attained international fame as R&B balladeer Eugene Wilde in the mid-’80s. She first appeared on record with the family group Tight Connection in the late ’70s via a single deal with Taurus Records.
Subsequently performing as Life, La Voyage, and Simplicious, the unit enjoyed a minor R&B hit in 1984 under the latter name with “Let Her Feel It.” In 1988, Wilde released her first single, “I Found You”. The U.K. success of this and “Lap of Luxury” led to her debut album, No Way Out, released only in Europe and Japan. Her style here blended elements of powerful belters like Chaka Khan and deeper tones à la Evelyn “Champagne” King, and solidified her position as a commanding soul-ballad singer.
She co-wrote (under the name D. Williams) and co-produced all of the material on the album. Proving her flexibility, she guested on dance group Urban High’s 1989 cover of Loleatta Holloway’s Runaway, and added touches of house and hip- hop to her sophomore set, 1992’s Get-A-Way. Before and during her solo recordings she had also done session work with acts including James Brown, Phyllis Hyman, and INXS. She had also made a name as a top live performer in Miami’s local club scene.
Her track record in both of these areas caught the attention of a France-based club owner, who was putting together a club act including bandmates of Stevie Wonder and Earth, Wind & Fire, among others. Wilde took the gig and got the chance to work with idols, including Wonder and Chaka Khan as a result. Simultaneously, she independently released Get-A-Way to the U.K. market under the title I Love You on Trans-A. In 2001, she recorded her third album, PG-13, for family label Wilde City.
Hal Schaefer’s “Besame Mucho” showcases the talents of bassist Paul Shewchuk. Originally from Canada and now part of the Florida jazz scene, Paul has worked with Dr. Lonnie Smith, Ira Sullivan, Larry Elgar, the Joe Piscopo Big Band and Melton Mustafa to name a few. He is an “in-demand” bass player and a favorite of Hal’s.
“Paul Shewchuk’s quickstepping bass line sets the mood for “My Brother Melton,†on Jesse Jones’ CD “So Then Collection”, as he and the swift-sticking drummer James Cotman open this standout track with a bebop pulse.” (Bob Weinberg, Jazz & Blues Florida, June 2009)
Gerry Kelly’s Welcome Party at Lux on Saturday, September 25, 2010.
September is the month when the party season begins. And boy did it shows. Since the beginning of September I have not stopped in covering events but for this story, I wanted to concentrate one special night where I went to three great events in the Magic City. I networked, socialize and had a great time in all of them.
First of all, my night started with a Meet Your Neighbors event at Grand Central. The purpose of this monthly event is for the people living in the Downtown Miami and surrounding areas to get to know one another by networking with each other. Grand Central hosted its space for this event which served it’s purpose as a great venue for the amount of people. Vendors also showcased their businesses as well as KFC with South Florida Baking provided the appetizers with an open bar sponsored by Sagatiba Cachaca. I met new people as well as greeted old acquaintances.
Since I was alredy in Downtown, I went to Trini in Private Salon located on Brickell Avenue. The event was spectacular! Other than great appetizers being served by Inca Restaurant next door, great cocktail drinks were offered. In addition, a fashion show featuring the latest fall trends and some cool hair styles were showcased. The difference in this one was that the models walked the run way to the hair style seat that was already located outside and after the hair do was set, the models walked the red carpet. This signifies that one can do the hairstyle at Trini and off you go to party! Fabulous!
Now with two parties under my belt, I headed over to South Beach which I had not been there for months. Ocean Drive Magazine was celebrating their Fall Fashion Week in which they hosted some fashion shows in various locations on the Beach. On this night, it was Perry Ellis’ turn. The location: The Raleigh Hotel on Collins Avenue. When one came into the hotel, the male models were displayed as if they were mannequins. Many guests even tookpictures with them. Cocktails were sponsored by Chambord Vodka amidst the backdrop of the many photo celebrities that hung on the walls of the hotel.
I had a great time in all three events not to mention the goody bags that were given in all three. Miami is a mecca of many party destinations if you know who you need to know one can out out in the town to sample the many attributes that this lovely city has to offer.

LA GENTE NARANJA
La Gente Naranja is an energetic Ecuadorian Rock en Español band based in Miami, Florida. La Gente Naranja started in 2009 with band members Eddie Garcia (vocals and guitar), Jose Nouel (drums) and Diego Saa (vocals and bass guitar). The group made its first breakthrough in 2010 with the release of the music video for their first single “Luz al Sur”, and their debut album of the same name. The band was born out of a sentiment shared by millions of people with a thirst for a new sound to identify their generation with…plus, they wear oranges on their heads!
ULISES CALOZ
Ulises Caloz is the “true independent artist.†With his self-produced debut album, “9 years†in the making, Ulises Caloz presents us with 12 original pop/rock tracks filled with powerful lyrics and instantly appealing melodies. Ulises Caloz’s self-produced debut album, “9 years†in the making, presents us with 12 original pop/rock tracks filled with powerful lyrics and instantly appealing melodies. Featuring some of Miami’s finest musical talents, this album elevates the familiar sounds of today’s mainstream latin music to a new level. In songs like “Que Se Sentira†(What does it feel) a beatleish styled ballad produced alongside well re-known latin producer and artist *MonteRosa*, you will undoubtely connect with the nostalgic behind many of Ulises Caloz’s songs. “Te Estoy Rogando †(I Am Begging You), an uptempo track that dweels on the desperation for forgiveness of a man’s human imperfections which has cost him the love of his life. With his
independent release of “9 yearsâ€, Ulises celebrates the latin pop/rock music that has influenced him since his early years growing up in his natal Cali, Colombia and pays tribute to all those who with hard-work and perseverence are able to bring to an audience the magic of their craft.
ODAS
One of the best Latino Pop/Rock bands to come out of South Florida. By popular demand, ODAS returns! Their new album “Al Final†is packed with amazing songs packed with stories of love, triumph, pain, and anguish. ODAS’ members, Karla Iriarte (vocals), Calors Iriarte (electric guitar), Victor Hugo (acoustic guitar and vocals), Camilo Machado (bass), form a powerful musical force and a “band to watch.†Formed in 2005, ODAS debut album “5 Sentidos†exploded in the South Florida scene and they became one of the most talked about bands. ODAS has a distinctive sound that stays true to their Bolivian roots while taking Rock/Pop to new heights and represents the potential that can be achieved as an independent band.
GABBY VILLANUEVA
Born in Mexico City and raised in Los Angeles, where she studied drama and dance, Gabby Villanueva has successfully and independently jumped-started her career. She released her 10-track album on iTunes and national retailers (without a record label) and turned heads (and ears) onto her sound, a mix of mariachi and pop-rock. She was the first indie artist to reach the top-10 on iTunes Latino. Villanueva uses her songs to talk about important issues like immigration, war, and of course, unrequited love. In 2002, she was a contestant on Telemundo’s reality show Protagonistas De la Música, and worked for Telemundo has an entertainment reporter. Gabby Villanueva is one of the few young multi-talented performers who has captured the hearts of audiences from all over the US and Latin America with her music and charismatic personality. The small screen has been part of her life, working with the most important national Spanish-speaking networks in the United States. Gabby worked on her debut album, titled “Mundos Diferentes” (Different Worlds), as singer, songwriter and producer. Most recently Gabby sang the National Anthem for the Florida Marlins at the Dolphin stadium with a sold out crowd.

Did we mention there will be lip-synching and A Pair of Nuts?

Participants should go online and submit a video of their band in action for the title of “The Most Awesome Band†and the coveted “Golden Guitar†award. And, if you can’t hold a tune, please do us all a favor and submit your lip-synching video for “The Most Amazing Music Video by a Non Band†title and the “Golden Lips†trophy, which is still pretty awesome.
Deadline to submit videos is October 17th. Online voting will run from October 20-28th, and the top 3 voted bands from each category will compete at the Battle of the Bands Bash November 10th.

{A special guest post by the marketer extraordinaire Erin Mia Milchman. Soul Of Miami fully endorses this position. Sponsorship is one of the most powerful marketing tools available to business today.}
Hi!
Well, it looks like it’s that time of year again! The preparations for charity events are in full swing and so, the requests for auction items begin. I will be forwarding you the requests sent to me by worthy charities with strong followings and successful event histories for you to select from. As a marketing person, I am addressing the charity event season from a business standpoint and offering you a bit of free advice that really works to generate interest and ultimately business!
I strongly suggest that in this struggling economy you select 2 events per quarter and donate generously. Give something of significant value that proudly represents both you and your business. It’s all tax deductible and you can request that your business name, logo, website and contact information be listed on all electronically sent event information including but not limited to the actual electronic invite itself.
Placement on print collateral is not usually offered except in presenting sponsorship levels. You will be getting your business information out to thousands and in some cases hundreds of thousands of live, active emails. Charity mailing lists are extremely valuable tools because they have one of the strongest “open & read” performance percentages being that they are developed based on “interested parties”.
Additionally, you may be also benefiting from social media promotion and mailing lists of the committees, promoters, sponsors and venues. Utilize this opportunity to NETWORK! Face to face marketing is THE SINGLE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY to generate business and form loyal relationships. People involved in philanthropic work tend to be fiercely loyal and patronize those who’ve contributed to their beloved foundations. That doesn’t mean just show up to the event and indulge in the free champagne. I mean WORK IT BABY. These events are a literal goldmine of possibilities.
Make a commitment to serve on the board of at least one charitable event organization per year. Its hard work, but I promise you will make life long quality friends and solid business connections. Not to mention that we all should be doing SOMETHING to better this world we all live in, and hey, maybe you’ll even meet that “special” person.
Finally, VOLUNTEER. It takes an incredible amount of blood, sweat and tears to make major events go off flawlessly so that the less fortunate can benefit and someone’s got to do it! So, let that person be you. Again, you’ll make some sweet connections and feel really good about yourself knowing that YOU HAVE PERSONALLY MADE A DIFFERENCE. There’s nothing like a good fresh charge of pride to put a kick in your day and guess what? It’s contagious. Clients & customers feel it and react.
BONUS: Got teenagers? Great! Get them onboard with you. They all need service hours to apply for college, and what better way to get your kid to spend some quality time with you! (Minus the texting, facebooking and twittering) IT’S SHEER BRILLIANCE! Memories galore. <3
So~ I will be sending you several request letters for live & silent auction items throughout this heartwarming charity season. Don’t feel obligated to donate to all of them. I’m not EVER going to ask you to do that. However, I do ask that you think about two things that you care about. It could be Cancer ~ sheesh! There are hundreds of cancer foundation options to choose from. You can help to find a cure, help to prevent the disease, help provide housing for families, make wigs and on and on. Perhaps carbon footprints really make you hot.” going green” is THE super fashionable thing among celebs and New Yorkers (maybe they can do something about the cabs & all that honking!)
Save the planet, save the oceans, save the trees, save the animals. You get the picture. Maybe someone you love isn’t sick, isn’t poverty stricken, isn’t necessarily a vegan or a tree hugger. Maybe they’re just like you. BUT GAY. OMG! Sounds silly to say that, but in a lot of the world and most of our country homosexuality is still totally unacceptable and often a crime. In some countries shockingly close to us, perhaps you’ve been there with the kids on vacation; it’s punishable by DEATH. Well, that’s just unacceptable to me. Can you imagine? I’m not sure I NEED to force my feelings on gay marriage on people who feel differently due to their beliefs, but dammit, the death penalty for being gay? Wow that one really got me. Not exactly sure where I’m going to channel this energy, but it will be directed somewhere useful and I’m confident I will make some fabulous new friends in the process & a biz connection or two (or ten).
Ok, enough rambling. I’ll give you one more suggestion for marketing your business or product. Listen up now!
GOODIE BAGS. This one’s a no brainer. Girls of all ages L-O-V-E presents! We will step on our best friend’s toes to get that last tube of free lipstick at the makeup counter (and the color always sucks) get positively giddy at the sight of a colorful paper bag with curly ribbons ties to it, and I know personally that my friend Christina & I have been more than tempted to actually try to scam TWO goodie bags from the really good fashion events (oh wow. please don’t tell her I just totally threw her under the bus with me!) Goodie bags are an awesome opportunity to get your products to demographically perfect highly concentrated groups of people. Are you a shoe store? Target a charity that attracts a lot of women. Breast Cancer, Kids in Distress, Humane Society. You’re a dating service? Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (strong following of single upwardly mobile fun-loving people.)
Figure out whom you want to target and let me know. I’ll direct you to one that’ll work for you. DON”T BE CHINSY! (How do you spell that?) You’ve got one shot to either thrill her or annoy her. Give a gift certificate. I like these best for small businesses because it drives traffic to your store/business, provides an opportunity for you to meet her, impress her, get her in your database and make her a lifetime customer. Don’t be scared. Even if you donate one hundred twenty five dollar gift certificates, you’ll be lucky if seventy-five make it home, fifty make it into her purse and twenty make it into the store.
What would you pay for a great new customer? Twenty-five bucks? Yes I would. NO question. Much better than advertising prices! Remember ~ NO skimping! You only get one change to make a first impression. We girlies find plastic key chains, cheap looking pens and tee shits simply awful! Into the trash they go! (Wasted money for you.) Invest in something she will USE/WEAR/ADORE.
You want her to look at your logo over and over right? Great. Put it on a sexy looking hot pink or stainless steel water bottle that we can somehow connect our keys to. Or etch it onto THE BACK of a bottle of wine with a decadent looking label that I’ll want to keep “just for looks”. Give me a clear lip-gloss that plumps my lips. Think about it.
I have referrals for promotional products if you’d like them. Start now, don’t wait for the event to contact you because these things take time to have made and you will not get them in time to put in the bags by the time the volunteers get around to asking you for them.
OK, so there you go. I hope you take my advice and utilize this charity season to work FOR you effectively, and that maybe I’ve begun to change your mind about being relentlessly solicited for donations! :)

Felipe Lamoglia is a Grammy-winning saxophonist, composer and arranger. Born and educated in Cuba, he is a graduate of the prestigious Superior Institute of Art (ISA). By the age of 18 he was a member of Cuba’s acclaimed dance band, NG La Banda. In 1992 he moved to Brazil where he lived for seven years, absorbing the country’s musical and spiritual wealth and playing with great artists such as Raul de Souza, Arismar do Espirito Santo and others. With Bocato he recorded two albums and participated in the Montreux Jazz Festival. While in Brazil, Felipe founded his own quartet, Tumbao, and taught at the University of Free Music in Sao Paolo.
In 1999 Lamoglia relocated to the U.S. where he immediately began performing with the late Celia Cruz. In 2001 he began playing with Grammy winner Arturo Sandoval, performing all over the world and recording on Trumpet Evolution, as well as two DVD releases: Live at the Blue Note NYC and Live at the Ann Arbor Summer Festival. In 2004 he joined Grammy winner Gonzalo Rubalcaba, recording on his Grammy-nominated album, Paseo (Blue Note).
In 2006 Lamoglia arranged and played on Ignacio Berroa’s debut album Codes, also released on Blue Note and nominated for a Grammy. In 2007 Felipe contributed as arranger, performer, and composer for Arturo Sandoval’s Grammy-winning album, Rumba Palace.
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.

University of Wynwood and Locust Projects Presents:
John D’Agata
Friday, September 24, 2010, 7pm
Locust Projects
155 NE 38th Street, Suite 100
Miami, FL 33137
305-576-8570
The fall semester at the University of Wynwood continues with visiting essayist John D’Agata. D’Agata will read from his new book About a Mountain (Norton, 2010), a lyric investigation into the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste disposal program and the suicide of Levi Presley, a Las Vegas teen who jumped from the top of the Stratsophere Hotel and Casino in 2002. The reading will be be part of Locust Projects’ Skill Share program and will include an extended Q&A and book signing.
The event is free. Parking is available on the street.
JOHN D’AGATA is the author of About a Mountain (Norton, 2010) and Halls of Fame: Essays (Graywolf, 2003) and is the editor of The Next American Essay (Graywofl, 2002) and The Lost Origins of the Essay (Graywolf, 2009). Annie Dillard has credited him with “rededfining the modern American essay.” D’Agata earned MFAs in both nonfiction and poetry from the University of Iowa, and has since taught writing and literature at Colgate, the University of Wyoming, the California Institute of the Arts, and the University of Iowa, where he is now on the permanent faculty of the nonfiction writing program.
Praise for About a Mountain:
“Unquestionably art, a breathtaking piece of writing.” – Charles Bock, The New York Times Book Review
“The book’s connections dawn on you like a reverberating rhyme in a poem.” – Matthew Gilbert, Boston Globe
“This is what, at its best, contemporary narrative nonfiction aspires to, a story that, like the novel, operates on many levels at once.” – David Ulin, Los Angeles Times
“When you’re reading D’Agata, you’re in such thrall to the dizzying literary risks he takes . . . you can’t help but be thrilled.” – William L. Fox, Las Vegas Weekly
“D’Agata’s distinctive narrative rhythms, melancholy wit, and keen perception of the social facade and the toxic darkness it conceals make for an acid test, and a ballad about the endless enigmas of humankind.” – Donna Seaman, Booklist

From that solid, safe place, dance into your sensual water body: awakening the fluidity and loosening the spine. Then, get funky in community, dance to fiery rhythmic beats, dive into an ocean of emotion and clear the mind of negativity and self talk. Inspire the heart to open and come into alignment with true essence and intuition. Finally rest and rejuvenate, feel radiant, embodied, full of joy and gratitude.
Dress comfortably and get ready for a moving experience! No dance or yoga experience is necessary!

October: Manifesting Love Please join, Jennifer Safina and Nava Sabag, for a transformative 3-hour Workshop where you will be expertly guided through experiential exercises and creative visual meditations to design a clear mental picture of the love you want to create in your life. Next, through guided movement and creative sounds, you will discover how to raise your vibrational and emotional frequency to tap into the powerful energetic universal field of possibility, and call more love into your life! This October New Moon is in Libra, which represents relationships, partnerships, peace and harmony. Learn how to let go of old relationships, attachments, and self-limiting belief systems to powerfully cultivate self-love, heighten passion in a current relationship, or manifest a brand new love!

The pet blessing is free and open to the entire community.
Well-behaved pets and their human companions of all faiths and denominations are welcome at this special service. Following the service, St. John’s congregation and their pet guests will host a special “yappy hour” on the church’s outdoor patio overlooking Surprise Lake. New this year will be a pet adoption and fundraising drive for Spotted Dog Animal Rescue.
“We added the dog adoption to this year’s service because there are many animals in our community that are deserving of a loving home,†said Pastor McNeill. “How blessed would these orphans be if they got adopted at a pet blessing service.â€
The St. John’s pet blessing service celebrates the Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals and the environment. Feast Day pays homage to the founder of the Franciscan Order who was renowned as a lover of all creation, and each pet participating in the service will receive a St. Francis medallion to commemorate the day and their patron saint.
“The annual pet blessing is one of our favorite and most heartwarming community events,†said Pastor McNeill. “Our furry, finned and feathered family members are such a special part of our lives. This service gives us a chance to affirm that ‘all creatures, great and small’ are deserving of our love and care.â€
St. John’s on the Lake was founded in Miami Beach in the 1920s in an upper room of Smith’s Casino on Ocean Drive, south of First Street. Today, St. John’s is celebrating its 10th year as Florida’s only Reconciling Ministry. The Reconciling Ministries Network is a growing movement of United Methodist individuals, congregations, campus ministries, and other groups working for the full participation of all people in the United Methodist Church, embracing the entire spectrum of race, age, gender, family status, sexual orientation, heritage, physical ability, economic status, and religious background.
St. John’s is located at 4760 Pine Tree Drive, Miami Beach. For more information, call the church office at (305) 531-7166 or visit www.stjohnsmiamibeach.com.

Amy Alonso Gallery is pleased to present:
CON-SCIENCE? – Art Exhibition
Miami based artist, Carla Fache, inspirited by the dramatic oil spill consequences, present the CON-SCIENCE? – Art Exhibition, an artistic proposal that invites the viewers to re- think and connect the recent environmental events with our planet pulse.
CON-SCIENCE? – Art Exhibition explores the artist’s interpretation to the recent environmental events in the world, through the transformation of common recycled materials into something meaningful. Re- think and Re- use are the artist invitation to focus on the signs our earth is giving to shake our mind set, and reveal our bond with the universe.
The Florida oil spill effects, the recent earthquakes in Chile and Haiti, the mystery of the recent earth craters around the world, together with the possibility of not being alone in the universe, are some of the pieces Fache will present in this exhibition.
“It is about re-thinking, re- acting and re- living: Con-science, with or without our science, but definitely with our inner faithâ€. Carla Fache.
Extra extra!!
CON-SCIENCE? – Art Exhibition is helping to save our planet!! A percentage of the paintings sold in this exhibition will be donated to an Environmental organization +
JAZZ AT MOCA: DIRK QUINN Free concert under the stars.
Carla has developed her own language in painting, throughout the combination of color, textures, angles, energy and soul. Her work addresses mind, heart and the invisible to the senses through a lens of continuous vibrations exchange. Fache has been pouring her soul prolifically on canvas ever since and invites the viewer to enjoy the experience, feel the energy and see the beauty.
“…My imagination travels to non-existing dimensions that I best describe through a process of layering. When I paint, I feel as if I am hypnotized by colors and textures, all of which will create soft, thin layers that hide or reveal a mark of an unspoken feeling, emotion, or thought…â€â€¨-Carla Fache
Dear Friends and Supporters of Arts for Learning,
Last week there was an amazing turnout from the arts community at the 1st Miami-Dade County budget hearing. Many of you turned out in support of Arts for Learning and the other vital cultural groups that make up our community. Thank you!
The good news is that we made the first step in securing funding for the Cultural Affairs grants budget. But, this process is not ever yet and we still need your help. The final budget hearing will take place on September 23rd at 5:00p.m. in the County Commission Chambers. Once again, we ask that you to make every effort to attend and speak to the Commission on behalf of the arts. Your message should include thanking them for their support and asking for full restoration of the Cultural Affairs budget. Crowds are expected so get there early and be prepared to wait to make your case. You will have two minutes to speak. Please wear a black shirt and Arts Action Alliance will be on site to provide you with bright ARTS SUPPORT stickers for you to wear. If you have questions about this process or need more information please contact the Arts Action Alliance at artsaction@gmail.com.
Please also write and email the Commissioners about this issue before the meeting. A sample letter is below and also a contact list.
Together we can ensure that the funds are in place to continue to do the important work that the arts community engages in everyday.
Sincerely,
Sheila Womble

Sample Message
[Please personalize this draft message – remember County Commissioners have told us that your personal stories have the most impact. I also suggest using just two or three of the bullet points included below as examples.]
Dear [ _______,]
I am writing to urge you to support the restoration of the proposed 25% cut to the Department of Cultural Affairs’ grants programs. I know that you have tough choices to make about next year’s budget but please know that the arts are part of the solution for re-energizing our economy and making our community great.
Here are a few important facts:
· Every dollar of County arts support leverages $27 dollars of other funds.
· Arts organizations generate a billion dollars in local economic impact annually.
· 12 million people attend arts events every year in Miami-Dade County.
· Other businesses depend on the arts. People who attend arts events spend more than a half a billion dollars, parking their cars, eating in local restaurants and shopping.
· Cultural activities provide more than 2 million experiences every year to the children of our county.
· Our community’s outstanding arts activities are giving Miami-Dade a worldwide competitive edge in attracting tourism and business.
Those are the economic facts. I also want to tell you about how important County support for the arts is to me [(or to my organization). Tell your story here].
What you do now will have an effect on the entire course of our economy and our community. I am counting on your support for maintaining funding for the County’s investments in the arts.
Thank you for your help.

Over the past year, more than 1,000 students have visited the hotel’s Danielson Gallery on Tuesday nights to learn tango through the guidance of World Tango Champion Monica Llobet.
Llobet is a world renowned professional ballroom and Argentine tango dancer who has earned numerous recognitions and accomplishments granted by the International Dance Organization. In 2001, Llobet was honored as “World Argentine Tango Champion†in Miami and the “World Cup Argentine Tango Champion†both in Hungary (2000) and China (2001).

Group classes for beginners are from 9 p.m. to 10 p.m. and advanced students from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. Following class, Llobet will recap the first year of Alma de Tango at the Biltmore. Guests will enjoy a special performance by professional tango dancers and share the dance floor with experienced milongueros as they practice tango throughout the evening. No dance partner is necessary as guests are encouraged to change partners during the class and milonga.
Nightly drawing includes Sunday Champagne Brunch for two at the Biltmore and a private tango lesson with Monica Llobet. Admission is $25, includes the class and milonga. A cash bar with specially selected wines from Argentina is available.

VIP ticket holders will also enjoy an exclusive area with open bar sponsored by Grey Goose Vodka, gourmet hors d’oeuvres and valet parking all included in the VIP ticket price.
As SAVE Dade’s largest fundraising event of the year, all money raised at Hellrotika will fuel SAVE’s efforts in fighting for LGBT equality. Since 1993, SAVE has continued to protect lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals from discrimination, thanks to the great collaboration of members, volunteers, donors and sponsors at such fundraising events like Hellrotika, keeping SAVE Dade’s momentum going strong.
“We hope that this year’s fundraiser will help us reach new audiences and take the SAVE Dade mission to greater heights. Not only have we sponsored a great Halloween party for the last 15 years, but we’ve successfully created an environment of inclusion and acceptance that goes beyond the limits of sexual orientation,” said CJ Ortuño, SAVE Dade’s Executive Director.
The event will be held on Saturday, October 30th at The Awarehouse in Miami’s trendy Wynwood Arts District. Tickets are available now at hellrotika.com or by phone at 305 751-7283.

Homage to Wassily Kandinsky
An Exhibition of Works by Local Artists
Blanca Caraballo
Ina Esteva
Tony Núñez
Celia Reigle
Emilio Héctor RodrÃguez
Curated by Baruj Salinas
On View September 24 – October 15, 2010
In this art exhibit, master painter Baruj Salinas is presenting five artists with a passion for abstractionism as a common denominator. Each artist has developed his/her work under different perspectives, but they share the singularity that they have all been Salinas’ disciples. Baruj, who is an internationally renowned artist, is acting now as curator to bring this show to the Miami public. Through this exhibit, the artists want to pay homage to Wassily Kandinsky and celebrate together the 100th anniversary of his first abstract water color.
The exhibition will be on view from September 24 through October 15, 2010; Wednesday to Friday from 12:00 pm to 5:00 pm (or by appointment).
“The five painters that Baruj Salinas is presenting, Blanca Caraballo, Ina Esteva, Tony Núñez, Celia Reigle and Emilio Héctor RodrÃguez, seek, in this way, to reproduce a perception that, although it possess the appearances of abstractionism, it is no more than the reflection of the invisible images that immediate reality conceals from us.” – Carlos M. Luis

He is known for his furious commitment that soloists playing with him had to exert all their might to keep along with him.
Ernesto performs in a myriad of arenas from Jazz to R&B, Latin, ethnic and more. Because of his commitment to excel, he constantly develops new ideas with technique to spare. His love for music and respect for his instrument and peers lead him to play everything with incisive, deep, soulful perfection. Active on the New York jazz scene, he is swiftly establishing a high reputation among his peers; his incendiary riffs ignite anyone’s imagination.
Touring with recognized international bands, Ernesto Simpson’s name has become much better known in the music world.

New Director Cornell Dewitt Announces Initial List Of Galleries; Emphasizes Core Vision For Miami 2010
PULSE Contemporary Art Fair is proud to announce the exhibitors and programming for its 2010 Miami edition. The sixth edition of the fair – the first under new Director Cornell DeWitt – will offer a blend of 82 leading and emerging international galleries alongside the hallmark program of original cultural projects for which the fair is renowned. PULSE Miami 2010 will also introduce a new focus on the city and culture of Miami, and an unprecedented emphasis on the visitor experience, foremost through its exhibitors and programming, but also via new culinary partners and social opportunities.
“PULSE consistently achieves success by presenting a first class roster of galleries on a scale that is manageable, and in a setting that is comfortable. Our core exhibitors, who could show in any fair the world, recognize this and it keeps them coming back” DeWitt explained. Joining such long-running PULSE veterans as Conner Contemporary Art, Hilger Modern/Contemporary, and Yossi Milo Gallery, are a wealth of new exhibitors. Miami’s Gallery Diet will bring work by artist Christy Gast, who will have a solo exhibition at the De La Cruz Collection coinciding with the fair. Another newcomer is Galleri Maria Veie, a central figure in Oslo’s under-recognized contemporary art scene, bringing Jumana Manna to the IMPULSE section of solo artist booths. From New York comes Larissa Goldston Gallery, whose artists on view include the young American artist Orly Genger. For its garden area, PULSE Miami has commissioned Genger to create Beefcakes, a functional elaboration on prior installations by Genger, including her current
MASS MoCA installation Big Boss, in which a gigantic construction of woven climbing rope appears to explode through a wall into a colossal mass throughout the gallery space.
Schroeder Romero and Shredder – a new joint venture, bringing together Schroeder Romero Gallery and The Sienese Shredder – make their first appearance in an art fair, bringing Michael Waugh’s Decline and Fall (of a performance artist). Waugh will continuously read from The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire with no breaks during an eight hour long day at the fair. The performance is accompanied by a drawing inspired by the texts, on view in the gallery’s booth. Following last year’s acclaimed turn, the Austin, Texas collective OK Mountain will present Trailer, an ambitious new sculptural installation exploring the tradition of customized barbecue trailers, courtesy of New York’s Freight + Volume.
Several galleries come to PULSE Miami from points outside North America and Europe. Asian galleries include Silverlens Gallery from the Philippines, plus Ai Kowada Gallery and veteran exhibitor Megumi Ogita, both from Tokyo. A sizeable Latin American contingent will also be on view, represented by mainstay gallery Nina Menocal from Mexico City; Arróniz, also from Mexico City; and Bogota, Colombia’s Nueveochenta. San Juan, Puerto Rico’s RICA Gallery; and San José, Costa Rica’s GalerÃa Bickar will exhibit in the IMPULSE section of curated solo-artist booths.
The Miami 2010 edition of the fair’s PULSE PLAY> video exhibition is curated by Tampa Museum of Art Executive Director Todd D. Smith. Titled Water on the Mind, works by Janaina Tschape, Janet Biggs and Johanna Billing channel a range of emotions – frustration, melancholy, and nostalgia, evoked by the recent Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
For the first time, the fair will open with a private evening preview on Tuesday, November 30, featuring a live musical performance hosted by the Friends of the New World Symphony. Also performed repeatedly over the course of the fair is WALL, a study in choreography by Shannon Gillen & Guests (see press kit/website for schedule). WALL imagines the human body as a magnetized form under pressure, irresistibly drawn to the length of a wall. Bodies will collide, levitate, and orbit this space, creating new relationships as they interact.
The PULSE Prize will be awarded to an exceptional emerging artist selected from the IMPULSE section of the fair by the PULSE Committee. The recipient will receive a $2,500 cash grant and the opportunity to design the limited-edition tote bag created for the next year’s fair. VIPs attending PULSE Miami 2010 will receive complimentary bags designed by last year’s PULSE Prize winner, OK Mountain. Other prior recipients include Eric Beltz, Chen Chien-Jen, Philip Gurrey, Chris Natrop, Emilio Chapela Perez, Duke Riley, and Travis Somerville.
To enhance the experience of our guests, PULSE Miami has commissioned a rotating program of food trucks from some of Miami’s favorite restaurants: the wildly popular Latin Burger; gourmet food truck pioneer Gastropod; Jefe’s Original, serving their signature fish tacos; and Yellow Submarine, purveyors of the finest Colombian fast food. Each day a different truck will be available to guests in the fair’s plaza – please see the schedule available on the next page. Finally, at the end of each day visitors are invited to reward themselves and partake in cocktails at the PULSE Bar, from 4pm to 7pm.

Derrick Adams artist talk
BFI 180 NE 39th Street, suite 210
in Miami’s Design District
Sunday, September 26th, 5pm
The Bas Fisher Invitational is proud to present a talk with multi-disciplinary artist Derrick Adams. Adam’s work has many facets and uses a variety of media, including video, sculpture and performance. He writes scripts for different identities which he explores in performance using costumes and environments that are often of a two-sided nature. He pulls from American culture and consumer objects. Derrick’s recent work deals with his childhood growing up in the post -industrial city of Baltimore and the juxtaposition between Man and Monument.
Derrick Adams received his masters of Fine Arts from Columbia University and is a recipient of the 2009 Louis Comfort Tiffany Award. He has participated residencies including the Skowhegan School of painting in Maine and the Fountainhead Residency in Miami. He is represented by Collette Blanchard Gallery and recently performed his “Go Stand Next to the Mountain†project at The Kitchen in New York.
Derrick lives and works in New York City.
