North Miami Beach, FL 33179

LOGO Projects in conjunction with Ocean Ophthalmology Group is pleased to host a survey of paintings and drawings by Miami-based artist Adriano Nicot. The collection will be on display and open to the public from June 28th through October 29th, 2010.
Featuring over 30 works on canvas and paper this exhibition highlights pieces in which the artist explores the mystical underpinnings of the daily. In Nicot’s hands chickens, chairs, and babies alike are all imbued with a heavy yet inexplicable symbolism. A couple matter-of-factly holds hands under a hovering fish and clowns (or are these ladies of high fashion?) hollowly meet the viewer’s gaze, daring us to laugh (or to not laugh?). Nicot’s austere marks are often strongly reminiscent of prehistoric cave paintings, his smoky compositions are always both timeless and reverent.
Born in 1964 in La Habana, Cuba, Adriano Nicot began his formal studies in art at an early age at the Biblioteca Nacional. He continued his education at the prestigious San Alejandro Academy of Art in Havana where he graduated in 1993 with a major in Painting and Engraving. Since then Nicot has garnered numerous intercollegiate and national awards, including a First Prize in Artwork at the 1994 competition Arte Siete, and his works are included in private collections in the US, Canada, Mexico, South America, Europe and Asia. He currently lives and works in Miami, FL. Nicot’s work is catalogued online: http://www.picturetrail.com/nicot
LOGO Projects is a non-profit program dedicated to matching artists and curators with professional business spaces. The program was founded by Kharis Kennedy, a New York-based artist, and Dr. Kevin Stewart. Dr. Stewart, a fellowship-trained glaucoma specialist from New York, relocated to Miami in 2008 to open Ocean Ophthalmology Group with Jesse Pelletier, MD, a cornea & refractive surgery specialist from Bascom Palmer Eye Institute.
So, our very own Annette has been interviewed by the excellent South Florida Food and Wine blog. South Florida Food and Wine says, “What I enjoy about Annette Recommends, it that it is consistent with the entire blog, no superfluous blah, blah, blah just straight-to-the-point-info.” Head on over to the interview to check it out!

VICEROY TO OPEN bistro e
AN ELEVATED DINING EXPERIENCE AT GROUND FLOOR PRICING
ARRIVES DOWNTOWN JULY 12
Michelin-starred Chef Michael Psilakis and restaurateur Donatella Arpaia, co-founders and creators of eos in Miami and Kefi restaurant in Manhattan, are launching a new concept for fast, inspired and affordable downtown breakfast and lunch, aptly named bistro e.
The restaurant, residing in the same 15th floor space of Viceroy Miami as its nightly counterpart eos – the yin to bistro e’s yang, maintains Chef Psilakis’s dedication to local seasonal ingredients while lowering prices and speeding up service. With menu options, such as e | appetizers, e | main courses, e | specials and e | snacks starting at $5, bistro e is the go-to spot for Brickell power meetings and social experiences, priced for frequency and affordability starting July 12. There will be a different e³ | daily special, featuring three-course meal selections for “$15 on 15th†including a pint of beer. . Speedy service will be ensured with the presentation of an hourglass on the table upon arrival, so all staff will be aware and lunch guests can get in and out within 60 minutes, if requested.
The cooking style for bistro e is what Chef Psilakis affectionately refers to as “First Generation American Cuisine,†a melting pot of foreign dishes fused with American favorites. The menu, uniquely similar to the cultural blends of Miami residents, delivers a farm-to-table approach with ingredients hand-picked at their ripest and ready to serve. Each dish is thoughtfully composed, showcasing the chef’s exceptional talent for balancing flavors.
Breakfast offerings, ideal for the time-pressed yet discriminating executive or traveler, includes cast-iron frittatas, country fried breakfast and grab-and-go favorites like mouth-watering danishes, muffins and croissants; seasonal fruits; freshly squeezed juices; and an assortment of organic teas and a signature whipped café con leche.
Lunch guests indulge in a wide variety of appetizers and snacks ($5 – 10) including grilled San Marzano tomato, mozzarella and basil pizza and Chef Michael’s one of a kind guacamole; sandwiches, salads and burgers ($14 – 18), such as the e Burger with mushrooms, gruyere and bacon and egg optional served on a brioche bun and brisket French dip with gruyere, caramelized onions and garlic with dipping jus; and main dishes or specials ($13 – 22) including Linguine with Clams in garlic white wine sauce and Hanger Steak with crispy potatoes and charred tomatoes.
Recognized for bringing Greek cuisine to the modern culinary stage at three Manhattan restaurants, Chef Psilakis has earned many culinary and hospitality awards. He was named “Best New Chef†by Food & Wine (2008) and “Chef of the Year†by both Bon Appétit (2008) and Esquire (2007). Psilakis is currently a judge on The Food Network’s hit reality show, Ultimate Recipe Showdown. Donatella has been featured on NBC’s Today Show, Bravo’s Top Chef, and the Food Network’s Iron Chef America, and profiled as the 31st “Most Powerful Woman†in Manhattan by The New York Post.
bistro e is located on the 15th floor of Viceroy Miami [485 Brickell Avenue] in the heart of downtown Miami and is open seven days a week, serving breakfast from 6:30 AM – 11 AM and lunch from 11 AM – 4 PM.

The FIWC remains focused on providing participating wineries with invaluable unbiased feedback that they can use to increase their sales in America and the state of Florida thanks to a unique list of benefts offered to medal winners.
The proceeds from the Florida International Wine Challenge will beneft two very worthwhile charities. We are proud to work with and support both the Florida Breast Cancer Foundation and the Melanie Finley Ovarian Cancer Foundation. After the professional tasting conducted behind closed doors, the wines from the 2010 FIWC will open to the trade, media and general public to give them an opportunity to test their palates against the participating panelists. This event will also further support our charitable partners.
Gold & Silver Medal winners will be featured in the 2010 edition of the Miami International Wine Fair, October 16 and 17. These wines will shown poured at the VIP section of the Fair. The timing for this is perfect; it will be just as people are beginning to consider their holiday wine purchases.
FIWC will facilitate distribution services for companies without representation in Florida to be able to take advantage of all the benefts offered. Regional and national wine, lifestyle and entertainment publications will feature full-page advertisements listing all Gold medal winners in the months following the event.

Performance ,,,!!!…A roast, in North American is an event in which an individual is subjected to a public presentation of comedic insults, outlandish true and untrue stories. the implication being that the roastee is able to take the jokes in good humor and not as serious criticism or insult, and therefore, show their good nature. It is seen as a great honor to be roasted, as the individual is surrounded by friends, fans, and well-wishers, who can receive some of the same treatment as well during the course of the evening. The party and presentation itself are both referred to as a roast. The host of the event is called the roastmaster. Anyone who is honored in such a way is said to have been “roasted”.

Stefanie has been gaining recognition across the State of Florida for her originality, passion, and alluring vocals. myspace.com/stefaniesmerkers
Artwork:
Kacey Westall Keogh received her BFA from FIU and has exhibited work and performed live drawings nationwide including The Wallflower Gallery, ArtCenter South Florida, EdgeZones Gallery, SCOPE Art Fair, Miami Art Space and Rochester Contemporary Art Center. Her work deals with ephemeral thoughts and the perplexity of the conscious and unconscious mind. www.KaceyWestall.com
Kris Starry is a self-taught photographer residing and working in Delray Beach, FL. Photography has always been a constant part of her life. In 2009 she started her company, Starry Night Photography. Her work has been exhibited at Rochester Contemporary Art Center in New York. She has also been commissioned by many local businesses for her commercial photography and her work has been featured in numerous local magazines. She welcomes a good challenge and will create an original theme to fit any of her client’s vision. She specializes in commercial, fashion, and portrait prints. www.starrnightphtography.net
Polly Peachums is the alter ego of south Florida artist and hairstylist Stefanie Merullo. Her work explores femininity and the blurry line of a mature woman and child on the brink discovering her sexuality. Her illustrations are small and shy depicting her brightly colored girls with big curious eyes and curvaceous figures usually teetering on big platforms. She exhibits monthly with other low brow artists at Howley’s Diner in West Palm Beach and also takes part in local indie craft fairs such as Delray Beach’s annual Stitch Rock and is always working on custom pieces.
Michael D’Abbieri graduated from the Joe Blasco School of Make Up Artistry with skills to construct make-ups transferable for film, print and television as well as special events and special make-up effects. Determined to exceed the limits and ready to take the tides in such a shallow industry, he is enthusiastic about being on location and can create any style of make-up from a clean beauty make-up to high couture runway fashion, or from an easy “painless” black eye to a grungy caveman who crashed his pterodactyl in a racing match.
BoomBoxx specializes in unique, accessible, wearable, and desirable vintage looks and styles from the 80’s, 90’s, and now. We scour mountains of threads to uncover those “to die for pieces”, and each garment is hand selected especially with the BoomBoxx Girl in mind. We thrive on the concept of fashion reincarnation, where once forgotten styles can be resurrected from the garment graveyards, then primed and primped for their grand re-entrance into a fab new life.

RikRak Salon Boutique & Bar hosts Elisabetta Fantone‘s “Blondes vs. Brunettes†series, featuring Gretchen Rossi of The Real Housewives of Orange County— Sponsored by CoupTessa.com
The ultimate question of “Who’s hotter?†is finally settled on June 24th , 2010 at the RikRak Salon Boutique & Bar on Brickell Avenue as international artist Elisabetta Fantone puts it to a vote with an interactive exhibit entitled “Blondes vs. Brunettesâ€. Not to worry, no arduous registration process required for this election, as crossing the RikRak threshold completes the task, making every guest an eligible voter. This highly anticipated event is already being raved about as one of the “5 Best Things to Do†this month in Miami by Plum TV. “Blondes vs. Brunettes†is sponsored by CoupTessa.com, the newest online coupon site for women, and promises an electrifying evening of sugar and champagne featuring pop-art, Cupcakes by Kristy, Lunetta Prosecco provided by Palm Bay International, and last but certainly not least, a good old-fashioned female rivalry.
Italian by birth, yet a citizen of the world, Elisabetta Fantone is a jet-setting multi-faceted superstar poised for international esteem. In 2006, she conquered Canada with her stunning beauty and undeniable acting prowess, and now, four short years later, she boasts celebrated pop-art painter and chart-topping vocalist as additions to her already impressive resume.
“Blondes vs. Brunettes†is a compilation of pieces from Fantone’s most recent pop-art collections: “Blonde Icons†and “Iconic Brunettesâ€. This collective series of portraits features icons like Sophia Lauren, Marilyn Monroe, Linda Evangelista, Kate Moss, and Elizabeth Taylor, among others. Fantone even showcases beauties from the ever-popular reality TV genre like starlet Gretchen Rossi. Fantone’s fascination with high-profile women who wear their hair color with such confidence and panache that it becomes their signature is what inspired her to paint Rossi, Bravo’s The Real House Wives of Orange County’s most controversial blonde, and invite her to participate in the event. Rossi, who has recently launched Gretchen Christine Beaute, a line of stunning beauty products, will share the night with Fantone by unveiling the line to the women of Miami, while celebrating her insatiable portrait by the artist.
These ladies may be easy on the eyes but they are also no slouches in the social media department. This event will be streamed live from the RikRak Salon Boutique & Bar on the Elisabetta Fantone Facebook Fan Page as well as on affiliate sponsor sites, CoupTessa.com and RikRak.com. As if being able to view this fete as it happens live is not enough, the online audience will also be invited to Tweet with the blonde & brunette guests of honor -Fantone, Rossi, Tessa and Raquel Waters (owner of RikRak)- throughout the event. These lucky interactive participants will also be able to cast their vote for their favorite painting and participate in other live give-aways right from the comfort of their home, globally! Not only will this be the party of the year combining beauty, art, fashion, and fun with some of the finest women stateside but it will also be a social media soiree for the ages – the first of it’s kind- NOT to be missed.

RA SUSHI HONORS INTERNATIONAL SUSHI DAY WITH COMPLIMENTARY TOOTSY MAKI
RA Sushi in South Miami: 5829 SW 73rd St. across from The Shops at Sunset Place.
On June 18, 2010
On June 18, 2010, RA Sushi Bar Restaurant is celebrating International Sushi Day, an informal holiday created to encourage sushi lovers around the world to eat more sushi. In honor of this special day, anyone who “likes†RA Sushi on Facebook can print a special offer good for one complimentary Tootsy Maki.
The complimentary Tootsy Maki Facebook coupon must be printed and redeemed on June 18, International Sushi Day, and will be valid at RA Sushi in South Miami: 5829 SW 73rd St. across from The Shops at Sunset Place.

Sushi’s presentation has evolved over the years, when it began as a means of preserving raw fish in Southeast Asia and eventually became a form of “fast food†sold from street vendors. Now a celebrated cuisine worldwide, sushi has become an art form, with each restaurant offering its own signature dishes of nigiri, sashimi, and maki. On International Sushi Day, sushi connoisseurs and sushi novices are encouraged to dine on their favorite RA Sushi dishes or explore the menu and try something new!

Miami Art Museum Presents New Work Miami
Exhibition Preview, Saturday, July 17, 2010, 6-9pm
MAM members free, non-members $20
MAM opens New Work Miami 2010, an exhibition of new and recent works by Miami-based artists. The opening festivities will feature a new performance by TM Sisters entitled “With Out You, Babe.” Also performing, Oscar Fuentes and the Gipsy Catz.
Wine for the event provided by Aveleda
(July 18 through October 17, 2010)
Exhibition Provides a Glimpse into Studios and Minds of Miami’s Art Community
With New and Never-Before-Seen Works by Miami-based Artists
June 10, 2010 – MIAMI – Miami Art Museum, a modern and contemporary art museum located in downtown Miami, FL, will provide a partial snapshot of the Miami art scene at this moment with New Work Miami, opening Sunday, July 18, 2010 and closing on Sunday, October 17, 2010. This Miami Art Museum-organized exhibition is conceived as an exuberant salute to Miami’s artistic community, which is bursting with dynamism and sophisticated artistic points of view.
Approximately 35 artists based in the Miami area will present new and recent artworks executed in a variety of media including painting, sculpture, drawing, photography, video, environmental installation and performance. The bulk of the exhibition will be presented in Miami Art Museum’s recently unified 5,000 sq. ft. Plaza Level Gallery, with numerous performances, events and screenings to be presented throughout the exhibition’s run.
“The aim is to connect Miami Art Museum’s broad audience – which includes a full spectrum of Miami’s population, from avid art followers to the general public – with the exciting and innovative artistic developments unfolding right in our backyard,†said Peter Boswell, MAM assistant director for programs/senior curator. “Nearly every aspect of the production, from the gallery notes, to the title wall, to the sounds in the elevator, will be created by artists in an effort to activate the museum artistically as much as possible.â€
Many of the artists are creating works for the exhibition that reach beyond the museum walls, including the Talking Head Transmitters, who will broadcast interviews with both scheduled guests and walk-in MAM visitors over live AM radio. On the lobby monitors, a video artwork by Tatiana Vahan, which depicts scenes from the artist’s childhood embodying a typical, middle-class American family, intermittently interrupted by real TV commercials. Gean Moreno and Ernesto Oroza will turn the exhibition’s gallery notes from a traditional museum brochure format to a tabloid newspaper that will be distributed at various public locations throughout the city. Other artworks will challenge visitors’ perceptions, such as Don Lambert’s Flatland, a large sculpture with rapidly spinning circles that create the illusion of a vortex-like dept, and an optical phenomenon of suggested color. Felecia Chizuko Carlisle will return regularly throughout the run of the show to continue transforming the installation of “Sketches†in space.
“More than ever the key to participating in global cultural conversations is to speak from within one’s local conditions,†says René Morales, MAM associate curator and co-organizer of the exhibition. “In Miami, we have a richly textured artistic community, one that is increasingly able to make strong and internationally relevant contributions.â€
The exhibition will provide a glimpse into the studios and minds of the artists working in Miami. In addition, it will identify and clarify to Miami Art Museum’s audiences various broad patterns in local artistic production. For example, several of the artists in the exhibition focus on aspects of urban life that exist just below the surface of what we observe from day to day, while others focus on developing new approaches to traditional artistic conventions. Among the artists whose work is presented in the gallery space are Kevin Arrow, Felecia Chizuko Carlisle, Jim Drain, Lynne Golob Gelfman, Michael Genovese, Jacin Giordano, Guerra de la Paz, Adler Guerrier, Don Lambert, Gustavo Matamoros, Beatriz Monteavaro, Gean Moreno/Ernesto Oroza, Peggy Nolan, Fabian Peña, Christina Pettersson, Vickie Pierre, Manny Prieres, Christopher Stetser, Talking Head Transmitters, Robert Thiele, Mette Tommerup, Frances Trombly, Tatiana Vahan, Marcos Valella, Viking Funeral and Michelle Weinberg.
In line with Miami Art Museum’s commitment to community outreach and education, the exhibition will be supplemented with special performance events, artist talks and interactive programs throughout the course of the project. To receive event invitations and reminders, visit miamiartmuseum.org.
New Work Miami is organized by Miami Art Museum and is supported by donations to MAM’s Annual Exhibition Fund. It is curated by Peter Boswell, assistant director for programs/senior curator, and René Morales, associate curator.
Miami Art Museum serves one of the most diverse and fast-growing regions of the country, where a confluence of North and Latin American cultures adds vibrancy and texture to the civic landscape. MAM embraces its role as a cultural anchor and touchstone in a city that welcomes countless ethnic and age groups, lifestyles and ideas. MAM’s far-ranging vision is expressed in the breadth and depth of its exhibition program, and its ambitious education and public programs. The Museum continues to build its collection of holdings from the twentieth century through the present, as it embarks on a major new building and expansion project. The new MAM designed by Herzog & de Meuron will open in downtown Miami’s Museum Park in 2013.

TATE’S Comics, Inc. | 4566 N. University Drive | Lauderhill, FL 33351
It’s Not a Doll, It’s an Action Figure will feature artwork and photography inspired by, or using, action figures. Not to be confused with dolls, the subjects of Bear and Bird Gallery’s latest exhibit are on display doing what they do best: saving, destroying and living lives of high adventure.
Guest curator A. Pants assembled a talented and diverse group of 14 international artists to participate in the show. Pants said, “Each artist was asked to recreate the memory of their favorite action figure and/or explore the fine line between an action figure and a doll.â€
Bear and Bird owner/chief curator Amanda Magnetta-Ottati passed the curatorial torch for this special engagement to artist A. Pants after seeing the concept develop on Pants’ popular blog site, www.nerdsquared.com. The theme is especially appropriate for Bear and Bird Gallery, which sits atop Tate’s Comics, a popular shopping destination for toys, collectables, dolls, and action figures. The timing of the show was well planned, as Magnetta-Ottati delivered her own “doll†— a baby girl — on May 20, 2010.

MIAMI-BASED, HIGH PERFORMANCE BOAT MANUFACTURER DEEP IMPACT RACES TO RESTORE MIAMI MARINE STADIUM
Executive Michael Rojas returns to defend Center Console Class title in Bimini Ocean Challenge
Saturday, June 12, 2010
11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Haulover Beach Park
10800 Collins Avenue
Bal Harbour, FL 33154

Sunny Isles Beach, FL 33160
Deep Impact Chief Operational Officer and avid racer Michael Rojas will take to the waters off of Sunny Isles Beach on Saturday, June 12, 2010 to defend his Center Console Class championship title in the 3rd annual Bimini Ocean Challenge. Rojas and racing partner Tim Gallagher, aim to maneuver their Deep Impact crafted 360 FS Quad, powered by four 350 horsepower Mercury Racing engines, down the 106-mile stretch of sea to Bimini and back to Haulover Beach Park. Rojas will look to beat the 1 hour 25 minute mark that brought him his first victory in 2009. A repeat win would provide yet another token of merit to his burgeoning Miami-based manufacturing company of high performance power boats, which has experienced a recent revitalization ever since the former magna cum laude finance graduate took over the reigns in 2009 to spearhead the restructuring of the Deep Impact brand.
The Bimini Ocean Challenge is just one portion of the five-day Sunny Isles Beach Offshore Power Boat Challenge, a charitable endeavor which aims to raise funds for the restoration of the now defunct Miami Marine Stadium in Key Biscayne, once the official home of speed boat racing in Miami. The events begin on Thursday, June 11 and culminate on Monday, June 14, 2010. Sole on the Ocean hotel in Sunny Isles Beach will host viewing parties throughout the weekend.
Deep Impact is a Miami-based renowned manufacturer of high-quality, high-performance sport-fishing powerboats that utilizes the factory direct sales method. With a revolutionary double-step hull, high-tech materials, seamless finish and European design, Deep Impact’s boats offer both superior performance and sublime luxury. For more information, please contact 877.628.9394 or visit www.deepimpactboats.com.

ONE YEAR LATER AND RIVER LOUNGE IS STILL MIXING IT UP
Launching a brand new happy hour and lots of other surprises
Recognized as one of the chicest places to have a cocktail, River Lounge has established a name in South Florida as one of the premiere lounges in the city. When the venue opened its doors, all were excited to view its lovely décor, classy ambiance and gorgeous view of the Miami River. With its 30ft ceilings, LED lighting, circular bar, flat screen TVs, custom lighting fixtures, outdoor and indoor seating and custom lounge furniture the venue became a favorite for Miami’s affluent professionals. A year later and River Lounge is mixing’ it up for patrons.
Launching on Friday, June 11, 2010 “Happy Hour on The River†will commence from 5:00PM-10:00PM offering live music and 2 for 1 drinks. For the martini lover, $4 martinis will be available from 5:00PM-7:00PM. So whether shaken, stirred or fruit flavored, there will be a delicious choice for every taste.
River Lounge was a concept created by Sunset Entertainment Group’s dynamic duo Chris Breed and Michael Gruber. These gentlemen have a track record that truly reinforces why River Lounge rapidly became a Miami hotspot. With such successful and legendary venues as The Tropicana, Teddy’s at the Roosevelt Hotel, Cabana Club, Sterling Steakhouse, Green Door, and the White Lotus, South Florida rapidly embraced their different approach to nightlife.
With a one year anniversary now approaching, the venue will unveil a series of spectacular changes. “Change is what the area is all about. We came into Downtown before a few others jumped on board. We took the risk, as we knew that Miamians wanted more; more class, more beauty and we wanted to provide them with a lovely venue that exemplified relaxed elegance,†said Michael Gruber.
New features will include live music, weekly art events, on-going fashions shows, guest DJs and a re-vamped Happy Hour. With this “re-vamp†those who wish to sip a cocktail after work can expect that and then some as the River Lounge team will provide them with all the reason to come out after a rough day at the office.
Located in Downtown Miami and away from South Beach, this gorgeous space will continue to cater to the active professional, corporate and social scene as it has for the last several months. But will continue to please the most discerning of Miami patrons by updating the already unique cocktail list and adding even more choices to the signature martini list.
With all the new tweaks and oh so fab new events set in place, River Lounge will gear up to celebrate an electrifying one year anniversary this August. For those who got on the list for their huge grand opening, expect a soiree just as big if not bigger. “To please the South Florida patron, you have to mix up a lot more than your martinis. “You have to [always] keep it fresh. Here we offer them casual elegance,†said Shawn Finkel, general manager of River Lounge.
River Lounge is located inside the Epic Hotel & Residences located at 270 Biscayne Boulevard Way, Miami, FL 33131.

Florida Marlins Super Saturday Featuring Merengue Singers Sergio Vargas and Milly Quezada
June 19, 2010, Post-game
Sun Life Stadium
2267 NW 199 Street
Miami Gardens, FL 33056
On June 19, the Florida Marlins Super Saturday will feature post-game performances by Sergio Vargas and Milly Quezada. First pitch versus the Tampa Bay Rays is set for 7:10 p.m. at Sun Life Stadium (2267 NW 199 Street, Miami Gardens, 33056). Get In On It for the post-game performance and a fireworks spectacular. Also, the first 15,000 fans will receive a Marlins Airhorn. For more information on Super Saturdays and to purchase tickets, call 1-877-MARLINS or visit the Florida Marlins’ official website at www.marlins.com.
Talented Sergio Vargas is primarily a merengue singer, but has also earned acclaim for his ability to sing other forms of Tropical music. He was born in the Dominican Republic and got his start singing with the local group La Banda Brava. In the early 80s, he had begun working with one of the country’s most popular merengue artists, Dionis Fernández.

GAB GALLERY 105 Northwest 23rd st Miami, FL
Cespedes Studios Gets Personal!
As many of you know I moved to Miami nine months ago, determined to let out my voice as an artist and be heard. It has been a transformational period for me personally and creatively in which I have grown and found a new voice- one that is vibrant, colorful and true and which expresses my happiness and appreciation for life. Throughout my journey in Miami I have truly become a woman and created a life filled with many adventurous opportunities and my art has blossomed as a result of it.
This Saturday, June 12th, I am proud to announce the premiere of my first Wynwood Art Show “Colores de Amorâ€. This collection was inspired by the love between a man and a woman and all that they created together, but then had to watch fall apart. The ending to this story isn’t a sad one and to find out why please join me this Saturday at GAB Gallery from 7-11pm.

“HOW TO READ A BOOK”
Curated by Michael Wilson
Reception: Saturday, June 12, 7-10pm
Through June 19
Locust Projects is pleased to announce an exhibition curated by New York-based critic Michael Wilson, featuring work by Becky Beasley, Guy Ben-Ner, Lorin Davies, Harrell Fletcher, Jeff Gabel, Anna Gray and Ryan Wilson Paulsen, Graham Parker, Christina Pettersson, Leanne Shapton, Eve K. Tremblay, and Matt Wiegle.
“How to Read a Book” is an exhibition of contemporary art derived from, influenced by, or playfully exploitative of influential works of fiction, with a particular emphasis on celebrated ‘classic’ novels. The exhibition highlights work that reflects on ideas of longevity and adaptability, originality and authorship. It examines the process of translation from one medium to another, and the durability – or otherwise – of the Western literary canon as a source for new visual culture. The show’s title is appropriated from that of Mortimer Adler and Charles Van Doren’s famous study of 1940, which argues for an educational system based on a list of “Great Books.” While the emphasis predates a postcolonial view and now has connotations of cultural conservatism, many of the cited volumes remain touchstones for radical thinkers of all kinds, artists very much among them. “How to Read a Book” looks at how a selection of such individuals have variously celebrated and contested the authority and autonomy of their chosen inspirations.
While Matt Wiegle’s drawings of scenes from Cormac McCarthy’s Blood Meridian constitute an idiosyncratic attempt at illustration and Leanne Shapton’s covers for Charlotte Brontë’s ouevre offer a subtle reflection on the influence of design on reading, Guy Ben-Ner’s home-movie version of Moby Dick, Harrell Fletcher’s partial reading of Ulysses, and Jeff Gabel’s animated take on Thomas Mann’s Gladius Dei experiment with the possibilities of free adaptation. Other artists in the show exploit their sources as support structures for more or less tangential projects, looking at literature from the perspectives of reader and writer, interpreter and analyst. Anna Gray and Ryan Wilson Paulsen dissect To the Lighthouse according to its author’s mentions of different colors, while Graham Parker reveals the mining of Persuasion and David Copperfield by e-mail spammers, and Eve K. Tremblay reflects on the process and meaning of learning a foundational text by heart. Becky Beasley and Christina Pettersson approach writers’ real and invented environments by way of allusive objects and images, while Lorin Davies aligns Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness with the London A-Z guide, suggesting that territories, and the books that shadow them, are both in constant flux.
Michael Wilson (b. 1970 in London, England) lives and works in Brooklyn. Wilson received an MFA from the University of Ulster at Belfast in 1996, and an MA(RCA) from the Royal College of Art, London, in 1999. His writing has appeared in Art Monthly, Artforum, Modern Painters, Time Out New York, and elsewhere, and he has contributed to exhibition catalogues published by Art in General, the Asia Society, Matthew Marks Gallery, and P. S. 1 Contemporary Art Center, among others. His most recent curatorial project, a collaboration with Frantiska and Tim Gilman-Sevcik, was “Slow Glass” at Lisa Cooley, New York (2008).

More on K-N-S:
Dee Jay K-N-S is not your ordinary D.J.; he is a turntablist. A turntablist is one who can manipulate sounds with vinyl. Mastering the art of the scratch, with just using his bare hands. K-N-S is a 2-in-1 man. He can scratch with the best of them and can also finesse a beat. The MPC2500 and various beat making equipment are his tools of the trade. K-N-S a.k.a. DIWREK is not a new jack to the game (D.Jing since ’93). His resume is quite impressive. He has hosted a plethora of events, been on many radio shows, flew to other countries to showcase his talent, produces, engineers sound, is an entrepreneur, and has hosted one of the first underground hip hop shows in South Florida..

MUSICA APERTA
Musica Aperta – Latin for “Open Music†– is a performance arts ensemble that has delighted audiences in WashingtonDC since 2002. Musica Aperta’s productions entertain and challenge audiences by presenting music along side complementary art forms such as drama, dance, and the visual arts. Musica Aperta’s belief is that music is relevant to all of us and that the barriers to a deeper experience of music – such as the formality and protocol of the concert – can be transcended by the innovation, energy and openness it brings to its performances. Musica Aperta’s activities are funded in part by the DC Commission on the Arts & Humanities, an agency supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts.

Pop artist & urban impressionist Miguel Paredes
“Pulgha World†Mosaic Mural Unveiling at Wynwood Art District, FL
Date: Saturday, June 12, 2010 during Wynwood’s 2nd Saturday Art Walk
Time: 7:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m.
Location: 2311 NW 2nd Ave. Miami, FL. 33127
Facebook Invite
Acclaimed Miami-based pop artist and urban impressionist, Miguel Paredes, is gearing up for a busy season throughout the remainder of 2010. His most recent solo exhibition, The Manifestation of Cross-Over Art, opened to rave reviews during last year’s Art Basel Miami Beach and since then has garnered the artist much attention in local, national and international levels. Paredes’ first artistic endeavor begins this upcoming weekend during Wynwood’s “2nd Saturdays†Art Walk on June 12, 2010.
The mural features Paredes’ iconic diminutive anime flea “Pulgha†and boasts multiple, vibrant flowers as well as the artist’s signature graffiti work. Paredes’ rebellious characters from his Los Niños collection are also featured on the 18 X 26 mosaic mural. “Pulgha World†is made up of 550 tiles and is set to add a playful splash of color to the urban streets of Wynwood. In addition, this mural will also serve as a preview to the artist’s private gallery located in the same street and opening later this summer.
“Pulgha World†has been in production for the past couple of weeks. Paredes has already received positive feedback from neighboring galleries and artists who are pleased with the work in progress as it is something that Wynwood hasn’t seen before. Locals are happy to have such a large piece of colorful artwork displayed in the bourgeoning area.
Paredes, a New York native, combines cutting-edge styles of street art, pop art and Japanese animation to create distinct, trend-forward pieces. Drawing inspiration from pop icons such as Andy Warhol and Keith Haring, he has created his own niche of street graffiti, landscape and pop art affording him the ability to singlehandedly crossover from street walls to creating decorative art. Over the years, Paredes took the Miami Beach art scene by storm, selling out numerous venues to become one of the most prosperous local artists. Paredes, who has been Miami Beach based for over two decades, acquired a private studio space on Lincoln Road to further expand his inspirational environment while simultaneously showcasing his works at local, national and international shows such as Art Basel.

L.A. Artist Gianni Makes 2010 U.S. Debut Of Quest Exhibition With Vernissage At Cafeina
Sneak Preview:
Friday, June 11, 2010
9:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.
RSVP required to cafeina@taraink.com
Cafeina
297 Northwest 23rd Street
Miami, FL 33137
Saturday, June 12 through Saturday, July 3, 2010
6:00 p.m. to midnight, and also by appointment at GIANNI@ArtByGianni.com.
Burgeoning Wynwood hotspot Cafeina is pleased to announce the 2010 U.S. artistic debut by Los Angeles artist GIANNI. The installation, titled QUEST, will showcase a collection of work in his signature style of abstract expressionism, a hypnotic vision of textures and vibrant colors contrasted by streaks of high gloss black. Cafeina will host a sneak preview of GIANNI’s work in its 1,000-square-foot art gallery on Friday, June 11 at 9 PM. GIANNI’s exhibition will officially open to the public during the Wynwood Art Walk on Saturday, June 12 and it will run through July 3, 2010.
Once his carefully selected pallet and mood is decided, GIANNI maneuvers these colors and controls their every movement and composition scrupulously. Time is of the essence as he tries to evoke his immediate feelings. He moves swiftly and uses gravity to his advantage. After having poured paint in precise locations and in conscientious amounts, GIANNI meticulously manipulates the canvas around with vigorous movement until the desired effect is achieved.
A modern day “Renaissance Man,†GIANNI experimented with various forms of artistic expression before discovering art. He began his journey in front of the camera lens at the age of sixteen as a model in Canada and later Europe, he would return to the U.S. to pursue acting before ultimately finding himself back in Los Angeles in front of a blank canvas.
GIANNI then embarked on a quest to discover what genuinely gave him a sense of accomplishment and found that the answer would lead him to the inspiration and title of his 2010 installation. During the last year, GIANNI took possession of an NY-style studio in the heart of Hollywood and has since focused all of his energy into creating a series of paintings that represent his voyage to art and self discovery. “This expeditious process has left me emotionally depleted, all that’s left is the physical manifestation of an immortalized ‘emotion’ and ‘moment’ in time,†says GIANNI.
For more information please visit www.ArtByGianni.com or contact GIANNI@ArtByGianni.com.

Miami, Design District
â€Malice in Wonderlandâ€
“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn’t. And contrary-wise, what it is it wouldn’t be, and what it wouldn’t be, it would. You see?â€
Welcome to Malice in Wonderland!
This show will take you on a marvelous adventure into the unknown. Ray Azcuy, Lu Coxhead, Luis Diaz and Yamel Molerio will surprise you with an array of artworks exploring familiar settings with a twist of malice. The artworks will explore the tragic and inevitable loss of childhood innocence, life as a meaningless puzzle, and death as a constant and underlying menace. All of the pieces have a dream like quality while dealing with diverse personal issues. The curious viewers may find themselves looking at confusing subject matter that they could simply regard as nonsense or approach the work and explore at a deeper level to discover the meaning beneath the layers of paint.
Follow us, down the rabbit’s hole and join us for our opening.

Cremata Gallery’s “Annual Summer Exhibitionâ€
Opening reception : June 11 – 7:30 pm – 10 pm
Cremata Gallery. 1646 SW 8th Street. Miami, FL 33135
From June 1 through June 30, 2010
Regular hours: Tuesday – Saturday, 12:00 – 6:00 pm and Mondays by appointment
Admission: Free
Cremata Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of their “Annual Summer Exhibition†featuring various artists from the gallery roster.
Some artists have been with the gallery since its inception, and others have joined us recently, like Enrique Toledo. The exhibition comprises 40 works including paintings, drawings and sculptures. This exposition does not attempt to follow a rigorous chronological or thematic order; instead, it prefers to emphasize an eclectic selection.
The exhibition includes the works of established masters, as well as mi-career and upcoming artists with a promising future. The result is something uniquely eclectic and entirely contrary to delimited chronologies and rigorous themes. The joy of the “Annual Summer Exhibition†always comes more from unexpected juxtapositions, not from the pairing of like with like, allowing the eye and imagination a rare freedom, not telling you what you ought to admire or notice.
On this occasion, Cremata Gallery will feature Cuban artist Enrique Toledo (Santa Clara, 1966), who inaugurates his first exhibition in Miami. Toledo, who has magnificent technical skill, has developed a prolific pictorial portfolio based on famous works in the history of art, which he then recontextualizes in the present adding everyday elements to them. To view his oeuvre, is to make a ludic journey through the paintings of Lucas Cranach, Hans Holbein, Rafael Sanzio, among other masters. The personages in his paintings radiate an enigmatic magnetism, inviting the spectator to penetrate the work beyond mere contemplation. Enrique Toledo boasts a productive career with more than 40 expositions in his native Cuba, Mexico, Portugal and the United States.

In recent weeks, Facebook, the darling child of social media, has faced lots of scrutiny. Recent changes in privacy, the introduction of community pages and the open graph system have left many of us feeling outraged, confused and curious. The need for connectivity along with the need for privacy have turned an affair to remember into a love/hate relationship.
Join us for a lively chat on Tuesday, June 8th as we’ll hash out the good, the bad and the ugly of Facebook. Moderator Angie Moncada and panelists Matthew Chamberlin, Patrick Barbanes, William Plasencia, Niala Boodhoo and Gary Bahadur will lead a discussion about recent and upcoming Facebook changes, so please bring your questions and concerns.

Nicholas Payton concert
Rose and Alfred Miniaci Performing Arts Center on the Nova Southeastern University campus
3100 Ray Ferrero, Jr Blvd in Davie 33314.
South Florida JAZZ welcomes arguably the most important trumpet player in jazz, Grammy-winner NICHOLAS PAYTON who is making only his third excursion into the area. Mr. Payton performed in 1998 and 2000 for the organization at the Hollywood Jazz Festival.
South Florida’s premier modern jazz organization is privileged to feature Mr. Payton and his band, as they come off a world tour. Payton is among the most influential artists in the modern jazz genre, and maintains his New Orleans feel and authenticity in the modern idiom. This concert takes place at the 500-seat Rose & Alfred Miniaci Performing Arts Center on the Nova Southeastern University campus, 3100 Ray Ferrero, Jr Blvd in Davie 33314. Tickets are $35 ($25 for South Florida JAZZ members and $10 for students of any age with I.D.) and may be purchased from the Broward Center Box Office by calling 954.462.0222 in Broward County; also toll-free at 877-311-SHOW, as well as online at: southfloridajazz.org, the presenting organization’s official Web site.
Since 1994, when Nicholas Payton made his recording debut as a leader with From This Moment, the trumpeter has been lauded as a significant, top-tier voice in jazz. Even though he started out as a “young lion,†heralded as one of the new-generation guardians of the hard bop flame, Mr. Payton consistently committed himself to discovering his voice outside of the strict confines of that rearview mirror approach to the music. It was early on that curve that he performed for South Florida JAZZ in 1998 and again in 2001, dazzling the audiences with his pure tone and soul. With his huge, burnished tone and full command of trumpet history from Satchmo through Freddie Hubbard, Mr. Payton has firmly established himself as one of the premier jazz artists of our time.
While his jazz journey has taken him down many roads – from heritage artist to electric experimenter – the 35-year-old trumpeter has arrived at a new plateau of jazz maturity. “As a musician, as an artist, you’re always trying to zero in on the bull’s-eye as a means of becoming a better version of yourself… The approach and the ideas of my music have become more singular, more cohesive. I had no agenda in terms of a specific genre or style, only to be true to who I am now.â€
Born into a musical family and mentored by Ellis Marsalis at the University of New Orleans, Mr. Payton was well prepared to leap into the jazz fray when he emerged on the New York scene in the 1990s. He impressed Wynton Marsalis and was a regular in the early years of programming at Lincoln Center. Payton put his own spin on New Orleans-associated music. Over the next several years, Payton continued to hone his craft working with Hank Jones, Elvin Jones, and Ray Brown, and collected a Grammy with Doc Cheatham. In 2003 he boldly moved beyond the straight-ahead, mildly shocking the jazz world with his adventurous and exhilarating plugged-in band infused with elements of hip-hop, electronica, and effects-driven trumpeting.
This foray was transitory as he struggled with his role as torchbearer for the mainstream, fairly predictable, and somewhat stale jazz, while striving to carry on the experimentations of Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Weather Report; even incorporating elements of R&B and soul. Mr. Payton says he is, “most solidly in a place where I’m coming to terms with who I am. I’ve weeded out those things that don’t feel right for me. I’m not out to try to impress and I’m not worried that what I play is going to upset some people. I want to write and play music that speaks for me and means something to me, that I feel passionate about.†He has found peace.
Grooves are central to his newest project. Mr. Payton states, “I want that dance element that was there at the roots of jazz. I feel a lot of jazz has gotten away from that legacy.†It is not a common sentiment, but not an invalid one, either.

The Charest-Weinberg Gallery is pleased to present Within an Arrows Range, an exhibition of new paintings by Pedro Barbeito. This will be the artist’s first solo show at the gallery following a remarkably successful two-person outing last year.
Pedro Barbeito came to prominence in the late 90s as the leader of a group of abstract painters challenging Modernism’s prevailing notion of terminal flatness through architectonic strategies of superimposition, lamination and tiling. For this new generation of painters, Modernism’s insistence on simplified order through a program of ever-increasing regimentation, measurement and precision in the hopes of revealing a sense of naked spiritual purity shorn of any “messy†figurative signifiers, had seemed to run its course. Much like a precarious, teetering Jenga toy, whose last geometric block has just been removed, abstract painting before the ubiquity of digital imaging technologies seemed about to collapse under the weight of its own empty, Greenbergian rhetoric. To set the record straight: Never before had Modernism’s innately reductive impulse been so strenuously challenged by a vanguard crew of painters raised on — and prone to — expressions of aggregation, accumulation, and density.
While today it seems as if every aspiring painter has at some point dabbled with Photoshop, satellite image-grabs, and 3D modeling programs (as well as the attendant editing programs used to tweak and manipulate them), it bears mentioning that a mere fifteen years ago, the notion of an abstract painting as an archive or repository of built-up, sedimentary layers was practically heretical. Had this been Salem circa the early 19th Century, Barbeito would certainly have been the first apostate to be burned at the stake. In hindsight, we now see that even his first conscious stabs at “exploding†the Modernist grid and gathering the resulting “shrapnel,†so to speak, were pioneering efforts to level the playing field between the assumed artificiality of the digital archive and the equally stereotypical presumption of the artist’s subconscious imaginary as the sole locus of authentic creativity.
But as Barbeito’s original generation has become fully historicized and the battle lines are drawn between a growing techno-aided Baroque on one hand, and the deep subjective interiority of a new generation of quasi-naïve, deskilled Abstract-Expressionists on the other, Barbeito himself has been actively dissolving these same boundaries between the figural and the abstract, the vaguely humanoid and the resolutely gestural on his own terms. Such divisions, he would argue, are handed down after the fact anyway by critics and cultural theorists alike, who are eager to demystify or perhaps hasten the obsolescence of what in the end cannot be demystified – that is to say, the artist’s own recombinant, ever-organic, insistently morphing attempts at creating a deeply personal, wholly unique visual language.
Though Barbeito would be the first to argue that the most elusive thing about painting itself is its application (and woefully inadequate approximation) of word to image, he nevertheless has found inspiration in this current show in the Greek, mythological figure of Scyllla, the once beautiful maiden transformed into a 12-tentacled, devouring monster by a jealous God. The comparison with painting’s own history is unavoidable here: a lush, otherworldly siren song that seduces and entraps even as it continues to puzzle and confound.
Since Barbeito well knows that technology and especially the consumer electronics industry are chiefly driven by capital accrued from pornography, he is interested in re-enchanting a sense of sublime wonder in the female form lost in the endless patriarchal objectification of your average downloaded streaming mpeg file. Pornography’s own compression of scale, flattening of image, extreme foreshortening, not to mention the sheer teeming jumble of limbs and tendency toward airbrushed, idealistic perfection is the kind of infantilizing wish-fulfillment that smacks of the artificial. In his own words, then, he describes his new paintings as a “merging of the painterly (pouring, splattering and brushing on paint), and the digital (acidic colors, faceted shapes, grids and pixels) to create a Frankenstein-like form of representation that critiques the notion of the very concept of the natural and the authentic as always already mediated by fiction and technology.â€
Pedro Barbeito is a graduate of the Yale School of Art. Born in La Coruna, Spain in 1969, he now lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. His work has been exhibited internationally and resides in important collections all over the world. This is his 10th solo exhibition overall.
