Educate Tomorrow, Corp. is an international, nonprofit, certified 501(c)(3) organization. All over the world, poverty denies children, as well as adults, the promises of a better tomorrow. Forgotten by society and social welfare programs, children born into poverty are trapped in a cruel and often violent cycle that frequently continues for generations. Lacking the inspiration, confidence, knowledge, and means to change, entire families are lost to the cycle of hopelessness.
Educate Tomorrow believes that the best way to end the cycle of poverty is through education. Our mission is to make education an attainable goal for the most disadvantaged in our world, so that all may be afforded the possibilities that can be achieved through learning. We strive to reach out to these individuals and provide them inspiration, guidance, and support and lead them on the path of life-long learning.
Educate Tomorrow’s primary mission in the US is to provide one-on-one educational mentors to foster care children that are turning 18 and “aging out” of the system. Since its founding in 2003, Educate Tomorrow has successfully implemented its mentoring programs, education programs and life skills camps across the nation. Additionally, it has reached internationally by continuing to support the work of its founders who established one of the first local language primary schools, adult literacy programs and boarding schools in the remote and impoverished village of Kabey Fo in Niger, West Africa.

Farley Aguilar | Coronation [2010] | Oil on Linen | 60″ x 48″
ART & CULTURE CENTER OF HOLLYWOOD: 1650 Harrison St., Hollywood, FL – 33020
SOLO DEBUT: Farley Aguilar | “Ulf”
OPENING RECEPTION: Friday, March 26th, 6-9pm
Spinello Gallery is proud to announce a new addition to the Spinello family, Farley Aguilar. Aguilar’s debut solo exhibition, “Ulf,” features a suite of paintings hosted by the Art & Culture Center of Hollywood (1650 Harrison St., Hollywood, FL – 33020) on Friday, March 26th, 6-9pm.
Farley Aguilar paintings are based on a character Aguilar conjured up and refers to as “Ulf.” “Ulf” is an old Norse term for wolf and it’s also a common male name in Scandinavia and Germany. The series tracks the rise and fall of this creature/character, from his supernatural origins (The witches casting a spell to the full moon) to his destruction by his own followers.
The artist in these works, explores people’s need to create fantasy in order to deal with the fact that they are simply pawns of fate. The nature of life and death are truly mysteries that are not understood. The symbol of the wolf is significant because they are thought of as loners – many ancient culture’s myths are based on insights gleaned from the wolf’s wandering nature. Another notable source of inspiration for Aguilar are artists like Ingmar Bergman and Dostoevsky, who blend reality with dreams, magic, and horror in order to explore what is beneath our standard social reality.
Opening Reception: Friday, March 26th, 2010 / Exhibition through April 25th, 2010.
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.

The 8th Heineken TransAtlantic Festival Brings Modern World Music to Miami Beach with the Colombian Group Bomba Esteréo and Vieux Farka Touré from Mali
Fri. April 9: Colombian Group Bomba Esteréo
Sat. April 24: Vieux Farka Touré From Mali
Tickets $20 advance through TransAtlanticFestival.com or 305-672-5202, Children under 12 – Free
The Rhythm Foundation kicks off its 8th annual Heineken TransAtlantic Festival this April with a two part series headlined by Colombia’s psychedelic cumbia band Bomba Estéreo and Mali’s world music sensation Vieux Farka Touré. In addition, Grammy-nominated Orquestra Contemporanea de Olinda of Brazil and Miami’s own two-time Grammy-nominated Locos Por Juana will join the festivities which have garnered much local and international attention for their eclectic music pairings.
The 8th annual Heineken TransAtlantic Festival is the sound of the world “right now†– the series of concerts and parties featuring modern world music proudly features innovative artists working in the beautiful collision between traditional rhythms and electronica/DJ culture. The series pays tribute to Miami as a true modern “TransAtlantic†capital, a crossroads of the Americas and Europe. It’s the hotbed of a young, club-crazy art scene, playground of the East, perched provocatively on the Atlantic Rim, where centuries of commerce and migration have formed a crossroads that unites Africa, Western Europe, the Caribbean, and the Americas.
The Rhythm Foundation, leading presenter of world music in South Florida, created the series in 2003 knowing that in Miami, there is a large audience of internationally-minded people who want to hear what is happening right now in our world. With this festival, The Rhythm Foundation showcases the city’s position as the hip center of a whole new generation of global music.

About Bomba Estéreo
Bomba Estéreo formed in the rich underground electronic scene of Bogota, Colombia in 2005. Guitarist Simon Mejia recruited fierce singer Liliana Saumet to join the group, and Bomba Estéreo expanded its “psychedelic cumbia†sound and captivating live show. The group plays an explosive dance-fusion of electronic dub and hip-hop, in a similar vein as M.I.A. and Santigold, mixed with classic Colombian rhythms like cumbia and champeta. The group made their US debut at SXSW in 2009 and garnered huge attention at LAMC in New York last summer. Myspace.com/BombaEstereo
About Vieux Farka Touré
The son of the revered Malian guitarist Ali Farka Touré, Vieux has stepped out from his late father’s massive shadow. Ali Farka Touré proved, in case anyone ever doubted it, that the soul of the blues could be found in West Africa. Vieux is turning heads with a more radical idea: that those western Saharan roots can be heard in everything from the jam band scene to Jamaican dub. The young Six Degrees Record artist and his band have caused a sensation at music festivals across the globe in recent years. He makes his Florida debut with this concert. VieuxFarkaToure.com
About Orquestra Contemporânea de Olinda
OCO brings together some of the best young musicians of Pernambuco, birthplace of classic Northeast Brazilian rhythms forro and frevo. The late legendary musical genius Chico Science left behind a supercharged music scene that fuses the rhythms of Pernambuco with drum & bass, rock and world grooves. In this music-crazed city filled with amazing horn players and percussionists comes Orquestra Contemporanea de Olinda, who has built a concise identity and huge following since their 2008 debut. Distributred by Som Livre, Brazil’s largest label, their CD was nominated for a 2009 Latin Grammy and was hailed by the New York Times. Now they embark on their US debut tour, including New York City’s Lincoln Center and Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. Myspace.com/OrquestraContemporaneaDeOlinda
About Locos Por Juana
The two-time Grammy-nominated Miami-based band received this write up in the LA Times: “Blending relaxed reggae grooves with biting social commentary, hip-hop raps with brassy solos, Locos Por Juana pulls listeners into a reverse Gulf Stream churning through the Straits of Florida south to Jamaica, Venezuela and Colombia, and over to Puerto Rico, Locos Por Juana shows with every song that it has thoroughly assimilated its multiple musical fathers, with a Caribbean lilt and a rock-steady beat.â€

Naughty by Nature pulled off the neat trick of landing big, instantly catchy anthems on the pop charts while maintaining their street-level credibility among the hardcore rap faithful; one of the first groups to successfully perform such a balancing act. The group was formed in East Orange, NJ, in 1986, while all three members — MCs Treach (born Anthony Criss) and Vinnie (born Vincent Brown), and DJ Kay Gee (born Keir Gist) — were attending the same high school. Initially called New Style, they began performing at talent shows and were discovered by Queen Latifah a few years later; she signed the group to her management company and helped them land a deal with Tommy Boy Records. Naughty by Nature’s self-titled debut was released in 1991 and produced an inescapable Top Ten hit in “O.P.P.” (which supposedly stood for “other people’s property,” though a close listen to the lyrics revealed that the second P represented male or female genitals). “O.P.P.” made Naughty by Nature crossover stars, yet their ghetto sensibility and gritty street funk (not to mention Treach’s nimble rhyming technique) made them popular in the hip-hop underground as well. Treach began a secondary acting career in 1992, appearing in Juice; he would go on to supporting roles in The Meteor Man, Who’s the Man?, and Jason’s Lyric, among others.
Naughty by Nature repeated their success with the 1993 follow-up album, 19 Naughty III, which produced another ubiquitous crossover smash in the “hey! ho!” chant of “Hip Hop Hooray”; the album hit the Top Five and, like its predecessor, went platinum. 1995’s Poverty’s Paradise was the group’s final album for Tommy Boy; though it didn’t spawn any major hits, it went on to win a Grammy for Best Rap Album. A recording hiatus of several years followed; during that time, Treach pursued his acting career, most notably landing a recurring role on the HBO prison drama Oz; and Kay Gee greatly expanded his outside production work, helming records for Zhané, Aaliyah, Krayzie Bone, and Next, among others.

Contemporary painter Michael Costello paints childhood myths grown up. The Boston-based artist plays with perceptions of beauty, sexuality and maturity. Conventional standards of attraction are attacked and provoked in each brush stroke, while the complete image speaks of the marginalization of the individual in a society based on esthetic. Approximately twenty Costello paintings be part of his first Florida exhibition.
WHO/WHAT: The art of Michael Costello, a Boston-based contemporary realist painter, plays with perceptions of beauty, sexuality and maturity. Conventional standards of attraction are attacked and provoked in each brush stroke, while the complete image speaks of the marginalization of the individual in a society based on esthetic. His work has been described as “childhood myths grown up and, therefore, uncomfortable mirrors on our own memories and perceptions of our maturity.â€
John Sutherland, a collector of Costello’s paintings and close friend of the artist, said: “I find his work a complete representation of the painter himself. Often finding as much of him as his subject matter in each work. This naturally is the hallmark of visual language at its best and what any student, collector, academic or passive patron could hope to find when pursuing another man’s experience regardless of medium or expression.â€
During the past thirty years, Costello’s work has been exhibited extensively throughout New England and is included in numerous public and private collections including The Abrams Collection, The Federal Reserve, The Kemper Collection, and the Boston Public Library. In 2007, Costello was one of five artists chosen to be a Pollack Krasner Byrdcliffe Master.

New Work by Renowned Studio Glass Artist & Prof. Bill Carlson
At the Lowe Art Museum
ANNUAL UM FACULTY AND STUDENT EXHIBITIONS
WHAT: William Carlson: Aquila Non Capit Muscas (An Eagle Does Not Catch Flies) and Annual Juried Student Competition Exhibition
WHEN: April 24-June 6, 2010
Opening Reception & Artist Lecture: Aquila Non Capit Muscas & juried student exhibition: Fri, April 23, 7-10 pm
WHERE: Lowe Art Museum, University of Miami Campus, 1301 Stanford Dr, Coral Gables
INFO: (305) 284-3535 or visit www.lowemuseum.org
The University of Miami Lowe Art Museum will greet spring with a faculty exhibition, featuring the internationally collected glass artist, Endowed Chair, and UM Art Department Professor William Carlson. The UM Faculty Exhibition, William Carlson: Aquila Non Capit Muscas (An Eagle Does Not Catch Flies) will be on view at the Lowe Art Museum from April 24 to June 6, 2010. On view through May 9, is the first of the yearly two-part student exhibitions, the Annual Juried Student Competition Exhibition.
One of the most important figures working in studio glass is Bill Carlson, who will have a one man show of his current work at the Lowe Art Museum on the UM campus, April 24-June 6, 2010.
Bill teaches glass at UM, is the former Chair of the Department of Art and Art History before becoming an Endowed Chair of the Arts at UM.
Example of Bill’s work can be seen when visiting the Palley Glass collection, one of the world’s best-known most comprehensive glass collections, as well as upon entering the Palley Pavilion, itself. Bill was commissioned by Myrna and Sheldon Palley to create a window.
The Palleys were also instrumental in developing the glass program at UM, and in bringing Carlson to Miami to head the Department.
Both the donation of the Palley Collection and Bill’s reputation as an artist and a teacher places UM in a unique position. The University has a specialty that doesn’t exist anywhere else in the SE.
One of the things that attracts Bill to glass is its potential for experimentation. “Glass art has an undetermined or open future. There’s not as much in the way of predictable expectation.”
A preview and reception for the juried student exhibition and Aquila Non Capit Muscas, will be held Friday, April 23 from 7-10 pm. The evening will be highlighted with a special lecture by William Carlson. A preview reception for the Annual Masters of Fine Arts Candidates Exhibition, on view from May 13 through June 6, is Thursday, May 12, 2010 from 7-9 pm. Both receptions are free and open to the public.
Considered among the most important figures in the studio glass movement, Carlson creates laminated sculptures that incorporate a variety of materials, ranging from glass of his own making to bits and bands of commercially produced safety glass and Vitrolite, to granite. His work addresses issues of interior space, geometry, texture, and color.
William Carlson, a recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship Award, his work is included in numerous museum collections around the world, including Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Cleveland Museum of Art, Corning Museum of Glass, Museum of Art & Design (formerly American Craft Museum) in New York, and the Hokkaido Museum of Art in Sapporo, Japan. The entrance to the Myrna and Sheldon Palley Pavilion for Contemporary Glass and Studio Arts at UM’s Lowe Art Museum features a site-specific glass installation by Carlson entitled PrõcellÅsus (Sudden Storm).
William Carlson, an endowed UM Professor, received his MFA from Alfred University, New York State College of Ceramics. He has served as Professor of Art and Program Chair of Glass, Clay, Sculpture at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. His program at the University of Illinois was honored in 1988 by the Art Alliance for Contemporary Glass for its contributions to the contemporary glass movement.
He has also taught or developed programs at major craft education centers, including the Cleveland Institute of Art, Haystack Mountain School, Pilchuck Glass School, Penland School of Crafts and Appalachian Center for Crafts.
In 2003, Carlson joined the University of Miami College of Arts and Sciences as Professor and Chair of the Department of Art and Art History, and has successfully strengthened its programs in art history, ceramics, glass, graphic design, painting, printmaking, and sculpture.
Said Myrna Palley, “Bill is widely considered one of the most important figures in the studio glass movement, and has significantly impacted the contemporary art glass movement as both an artist and an educator. We are so proud to have him here in Miami: teaching, creating, and mentoring young artists.â€
The exhibition – Aquila Non Capit Muscas – is organized by the UM Department of Art and Art History and sponsored in part by Stella Holmes and Overseas Partners Realty, Inc.
The Lowe Art Museum is located at the University of Miami at 1301 Stanford Drive, Coral Gables. Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, 12 to 7 p.m. Thursdays and 12 to 5 p.m. Sundays.

The Journey Is Everything…
Fache Arts & Amy Alonso Gallery are pleased to announce Art Exhibition: “SPIRITUAL AWAKENING”
“Spiritual Awakening” Art Exhibition presents an intelligent art show that pretends to awake and move your inner perceptiveness, courage, and even transform the beholder-conceived ideas through reality illusions and dimensions. Not always what you see is real, and not always what you think is really a dream.
Through their absorbing canvas, Victor Mahana and Carla Fache capture the conscience‘s awakening and its traces. The scenarios reflected in each of their art pieces make the viewer transport to the threshold of the inner realities, building bridges between the visible and the invisible, reality and dream.
THE ARTISTS
“…My painting has always been the vision of vivid dreams. In simple words, I define it as figurative, concrete, detailed images of an unconscious, symbolic and irrational world. My work stands in that threshold, it is the paradox of two incompatible and sometimes opposite worlds: The real (the way of represent things) with the unreal (the subject of representation)…”
-Victor Mahana.
“…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€
-Carla Fache.
Don’t miss this amazing art exhibition! in conjunction with the free Jazz at Moca! Max Farber Trio will be performing a selection of classic jazz standards.

New “Miami On Stage†Series Continues With Tiempo Libre Performing “Bach in Havana†on Saturday April 3rd at the Byron Carlyle Theater
The new Miami On Stage project, which features local performing artists on a regular basis in Miami Beach’s North Beach neighborhood, continues on Saturday, April 3 with the great timba band Tiempo Libre at the Byron Carlyle Theater. The evening features the Miami theatrical premiere performance of their Bach in Havana, a salsa meets Classical music mash-up based on the Grammy-nominated CD of the same name. The Miami On Stage series is produced by FUNDarte, one of South Florida’s most adventurous and successful presenters of alternative culture, especially with a Latin flavor.
The Cuban-born, Miami-based musicians of Tiempo Libre have catapulted onto the national stage with their clever, beautiful and danceable sound. With Bach in Havana, they took their love of the contrapointal Baroque music of J.S. Bach (having all been classically trained) and found a way to meld with the tropical, Afro-Cuban rhythms and instrumentation they usually perform. The resulting work – tuneful, playful and musically adventurous – has garnered praise and awards after being released by Sony Music. Ever Chavez, Executive Director of FUNDarte, says that, “Tiempo Libre is a Miami treasure who, with their genre-bending Bach in Havana, has received global acclaim. The nurturing of local artists who can then tour their work throughout the world is one of our goals with the Miami On Stage project.â€
The Tiempo Libre concert begins at 8:00 pm at the Byron Carlyle Theater, located at 500 71st Street, on Miami Beach. Tickets for Tiempo Libre are $20 general admission, $15 students (under 25) & seniors (over 65) with I.D. Tickets may be purchased in advance through Ticketmaster at www.ticketmaster.com and by phone (800) 745-3000 (service charges apply). They are also available in-person at the Byron Carlyle the day of show and in advance at the Colony Theatre box office (1040 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach), Tuesday through Saturday, Noon to 5:00 pm (no service charges). A limited number of $15 discounted general admission tickets are also available for 33141 zip code buyers with I.D. in-person at both theater box offices only. More information about the Miami On Stage series and the upcoming Tiempo Libre concert can be found online at www.fundarte.us or by contacting FUNDarte at info@fundarte.us or (305) 316-6165.
Miami On Stage will continue on the first Saturday of each month, through June of this year. On May 1, again at the Byron Carlyle, there will be an evening with three solo Hip Hop theater artists, Rudi Goblen, Summer Hill Seven and Meshaun Lebrone Arnold. This program is co-presented with Miami Light Project. On June 5th there will be two performances Hilo,(Thread), by Jose Dominguez, directed by Lucia Aratanha, and Sipping Fury from a Teacup, created by Elizabeth Doud & Jennylin Duany and performed by Elizabeth Doud and Carlos Caballero. In addition to each Saturday’s featured performance, there will be free tie-in events throughout the week in the North Beach neighborhood, including panel discussions with the artists, special programs for youth and outdoor activities. These will include free yoga classes on the beach Mondays and Fridays at 7:00 am at Ocean Terrace and 73 Street, as well as a Farmer’s market in Normandy Isle Circle Saturdays from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm.

Sci Sci at Brickell Invites you to a Special Italian Wine Tasting
Hosted by:CASA VINICOLA ZONIN & BEN NEJI
50% Off on all Featured Wines (By the Bottle)
The Zonin family Estates is the largest family owned wine company in Italy and Europe. It is one of the largest in the World. Beside the Zonin label, they produce wines under seven other labels. Casa Vinicola Zonin was selected as “The European Wine Producer of the Year 2007†and received three gold medals
Wednesday March 24th. 2010
7:00 – 9:00 p.m.
$10 per person
(4 Wines & Hors d’oeuvres Included)
Prosecco
The best bubbly in the Zonin portfolio. The nose is yeasty, with moderate richness and enough apple and citrus to register. The palate features green melon, apple and toast, while the finish is mildly yeasty and fairly full. Satisfying as it fills the mouth.” -M.S.
The must, obtained by very soft pressing, undergoes an initial fermentation at a controlled temperature of 18°C (64°F). The base wine is then transferred into pressurized stainless steel tanks where the wine is made sparkling using the traditional Charmat method. An excellent aperitif, it can also be served throughout the meal – including dessert – as long as the dishes are not too strongly flavored
Insolia, Principi Di Butera, Sicilia
Produced from Insolia grapes harvested in the first week of September and placed in small baskets. After soft pressing, the must was immediately fermented in stainless steel at a controlled temperature and kept on the lees until April 2002. Afterward the wine was fined in the bottle for some months. Bright and luminous golden straw yellow with light greenish reflections. Full, with scents of exotic fruit and flowering broom. Rich and harmonious with delicate scents of sweet almonds.
Refosco, Cervignano Del Friuli
After crushing and de-stalking, the must is macerated for 8-12 days in vertical vinification tanks, a process which encourages considerable extraction of color and polyphenolic substances. After its malolactic fermentation, the wine matures for 6 months in Slovenian oak barrels
Ripasso Valpolicella Superiore, Veneto
Ripasso is a traditional technique that promotes a second fermentation through the wine’s contact with warm dried grape skins from which Amarone has been pressed. This practice increases slightly the alcoholic content and enriches the wine with a greater concentration of sugar, glycerine, polyphenolic substances and aromas. The wine then matures in 30-hectoliter (660 gallon) Slovenian oak barrels for 1 year and for a further six months in bottle.

Bienvenidos a TASCHEN Store Miami:
There are some who say that TASCHEN publishes the most exquisite books on the planet. Certainly, since 2001 we have strived to create exquisite TASCHEN Stores in our planet’s most vibrant and exciting cities. Our aim has always been to provide our customers with elegant and inspirational surroundings in which to explore our books. And so, following Paris, New York, Los Angeles, London, Brussels, Berlin, Hamburg and Copenhagen, we knew our next stop must be the gateway to all things sunny and paradisial, Miami Beach.
We are pleased to announce the opening of our newest and warmest location, the TASCHEN Store Miami. Located in the heart of South Beach on Lincoln Road, the TASCHEN Store Miami is one of only thirteen high-end storefronts located in a brand new building designed by Swiss architect’s Herzog & de Meuron. Like all TASCHEN Stores, the Miami space was conceived by legendary French designer Philippe Starck. We also commissioned British artist Toby Ziegler to create both a dazzling series of floor-to-ceiling murals and an elaborately patterned hand-poured terrazzo floor made entirely of stones indigenous to south Florida.
The TASCHEN Store Miami will be open from 11am – 10pm Sunday through Thursday, and from 11am – 11pm Fridays and Saturdays. The space will carry the full range of TASCHEN titles from contemporary and classic art, photography, design, architecture, sex, travel, cinema and pop culture, as well as a selection of our Spanish and Portuguese language titles.
Please join us on Saturday afternoon from 4-6pm for an opening celebration with drinks, music by DJ Faux Real, and all things TASCHEN.

‘+ 5: RECENT ACQUISITIONS FROM THE WOLFSONIAN COLLECTION’ OPENS APRIL 23, 2010
Collection Strengthened With Five Years of Gifts and Acquisitions
On the occasion of its fifteenth anniversary, The Wolfsonian–Florida International University presents +5: Recent Acquisitions from The Wolfsonian Collection, an exhibition showcasing the dynamic growth of the museum’s collection over the past five years. +5 highlights approximately 100 objects obtained through donation or acquisition, adding depth and breadth to the collection’s already strong foundation of art and design.
The exhibition, on view April 23, 2010 through September 26, 2010, features objects acquired through donation or purchase since The Wolfsonian’s previous exhibition X: A Decade of Collection in September 2005 and includes decorative arts, architectural elements, books, posters, and printed ephemera. The new acquisitions strengthen and broaden the collection’s core themes of design reform, urbanism, travel and transportation, advertising, and political propaganda.
“The opening of +5 and the celebration of The Wolfsonian’s fifteenth anniversary provides us an amazing opportunity to reflect on the growth of the collection and recognize the significant role donors have played shaping the museum’s success in the last five years,†notes Sarah Schleuning, The Wolfsonian’s curator.
Some of the exhibition highlights include:
· A large unusual Teco bottle vase with a swirled base designed by Fritz Albert, c. 1905. The vase is a rare and outstanding example of the American Arts and Crafts movement.
· A significant collection of photochroms (color lithographs) by William Henry Jackson, the American photographer known especially for his images of American Indians and of the West. His photographs of Yellowstone played a critical role in establishing the country’s first national park.
· A tabletop sculpture by Gio Ponti and Tomaso Buzzi designed for the Italian Foreign Ministry and produced by Richard-Ginori.
· A chrome-plated floor torchère or floor lamp designed by Eliel Saarinen and Walter von Nessen. The lamp, donated by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, was from Duke’s estate in Hillsborough, New Jersey.
· A rare oversized portfolio illustrated by artist and activist Hugo Gellert that was published in 1943 in a limited edition of fifty-four. The portfolio contains double-page plates with excerpts of speeches by Vice President Henry A. Wallace and full-page, silk-screened illustrations.
· A historically significant oak sideboard for the Oak Parlour in Old Heath Hall by Thomas Jeckyll.
· Exceptional art moderne paintings, songbooks, and other works from the Franck MacCoy (Mac) Harshberger archive.
· Delicate watercolors of local scenes created as part of the Florida Art Project for the WPA.
The Wolfsonian’s collection originated with thousands of objects privately held by founder Mitchell Wolfson, Jr., which was subsequently donated to Florida International University. Over the past fifteen years, the collection has grown through the gifts of many private donors and collectors, as well as carefully determined acquisitions. Many of the gifts have been donated in the last five years by a wide-range of local, national, and international collectors, including: New York collector Leonard A. Lauder with a significant gift of American World War Two graphic works; Illinois collector and former CEO of Sara Lee Corporation, John Bryan with rare works from the British Arts and Crafts period; prolific artist and art director Steven Heller with books and ephemeral items related to twentieth century totalitarian governments; New York area collector Gregg G. Seibert with the Teco bottle vase and Frank Lloyd Wright textile block; longtime Wolfsonian supporter and former board member Fred Sharf with a substantial collection of automobile design drawings constituting the bulk of the current Styled for the Road exhibition; and independent scholar Jewel Stern with several important silver works from the early twentieth century. “We’re very fortunate that our approach to interpreting and presenting the collection has inspired many people,†notes Wolfsonian director, Cathy Leff. “We’re delighted that our collection has drawn from significant national collectors such as Leonard A. Lauder, chairman of the Estée Lauder Companies, to local collectors such as Laurence Miller, former executive director of libraries at Florida International University.
Comprised of 120,000 objects including paintings, furniture, sculptures, works on paper, ephemeral items, rare books and graphic design produced primarily in Europe and North America from 1885 to 1945, The Wolfsonian collection encourages a multidisciplinary approach of viewing objects as both agents and expressions of change. With its exhibitions and educational programs, The Wolfsonian continues to offer the public an exploration of the social, political, and technological allusions contained in the design of everyday objects. “We are proud of our accomplishments and the growth of our collection during these last five years. We aim to be the single most important resource for the 1885-1945 era and we are optimistic that we will continue building a strong institution that will serve academic and general audiences for years to come,†remarks Cathy Leff.
About The Wolfsonian–Florida International University
The Wolfsonian is a museum, library, and research center that uses objects to illustrate the persuasive power of art and design, to explore what it means to be modern, and to tell the story of social, historical, and technological changes that have transformed our world. The collections comprise approximately 120,000 objects from the period of 1885 to 1945—the height of the Industrial Revolution to the end of the Second World War—in a variety of media including furniture; industrial-design objects; works in glass, ceramics, and metal; rare books; periodicals; ephemera; works on paper; paintings; textiles; and medals.
The Wolfsonian is located at 1001 Washington Avenue, Miami Beach, FL. Admission is $7 for adults; $5 for seniors, students, and children age 6 -12; and free for Wolfsonian members, State University System

ABOUT THE GUEST PERFORMERS AND COMPOSER
Widely known as a composer and orchestra conductor, the Venezuelan Maestro Alfredo Rugeles was born in Washington D.C while his parents were working in the diplomatic service. He carried out his musical studies at Escuela “Juan Manuel Olivares” (“Juan Manuel Olivares” School), Caracas. In 1976 he obtained Diplomas in Singing and Choral Conduction from his teachers Fedora Alemán and Alberto Grau, respectively. He studied Composition with Yannis Ioannidis until 1976, year in which he travels to Germany with a scholarship, for continuing his studies in the Robert Schumann Institute of Düsseldorf, where he obtained Diplomas in Composition and Orchestral Conducting in 1979 and 1981 as a student of Gunther Becker and Wolfgang Trommer, respectively.
He attended the Cursos Latinoamericanos de Música Contemporánea (Latin-American Contemporary Music Courses) as a student and lecturer. He got a scholarship from the Composition Workshop during the New Music Courses in Darmstadt. He takes part in International Orchestral Conducting Courses taught by Sergiu Celibidache, Michel Tabachnik and Franco Ferrara. He has been invited to important international events as composer and orchestra conductor. In 1979 he obtained the Premio Nacional de Composición (National Composition Award) for his work “Somosnueve” (“We-are-nine”) and in 1985 the Premio Municipal de Música (Municipal Music Award) for its work “Tanguitis”. Currently he is in charge of a tutorial class in Contemporary Composition and of a chair in Techniques of Orchestral Conducting at Instituto Universitario de Estudios Musicales (Universitary Institute of Musical Studies (IUDEM).
As a Conductor, Alfredo Rugeles has performed leading the Robert Schumann Institute Orchestra of Düsseldorf; the Siegerland Orchestra of Hilchenbach; the Dutch Chamber Orchestra; Chamber Groups of Contemporary Music in Düsseldorf, Köln and Darmstadt; the Sinfónica Nacional de México (National Symphonic of Mexico); Orquesta Filarmónica de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (Philharmonic Orchestra of the National Autonomous University of Mexico); Orquesta de Cámara Mayo de Argentina (Mayo Chamber Orchestra of Argentina) and Orquesta Sinfónica de El Salvador (Symphonic Orchestra of El Salvador). Furthermore, he is a permanent guest Conductor of the most prestigious orchestras of the country and has had the privilege of accompanying important soloists such as Judith Jaimes, Maurice Hasson, Harriet Serr, Margot Parés-Reyna, Eva MarÃa Zuk, Julius Berger, Ruggiero Ricci, Montserrat Caballé, Alirio DÃaz, Elizabeth Glass, Karoly Mocsari, Shlomo Mintz, Arnaldo Pizzolante, Vladimir Spivakov, Carlos Duarte, Mstislav Rostropovitch, Renata Scotto, Frans Helmerson, Karin Lechner, Sergio Tiempo, Anssi Karttunen, Jorge Luis Prats, and Jane Eaglen, among others. His repertoire embraces the universal symphonic music as well as the opera, having conducted numerous opening nights of works by Venezuelan composers and first auditions of the international contemporary repertoire.
The Amernet String Quartet, Ensemble-in-Residence at Florida International University, has garnered worldwide praise and recognition as one of today’s exceptional string quartets.The ensemble rose to international attention after only one year of existence, after winning the Gold Medal at the 7th Tokyo International Music Competition in 1992. Three years later the group was the First Prize winner of the prestigious 5th Banff International String Quartet Competition. The Amernet String Quartet has been described by The New York Times as “an accomplished and intelligent ensemble”, and by the Nürnberger Nachrichten (Germany) as “fascinating with flawless intonation, extraordinary beauty of sound, virtuosic brilliance and homogeneity of ensemble”.
The Amernet String Quartet was formed in 1991, while two of its members were students at The Juilliard School. Founding members Marcia Littley and Javier Arias have been joined by fellow Juilliard graduates, violinist Misha Vitenson and violist Michael Klotz. Their busy performance schedule has taken the group to major musical centers and smaller cities across the United States. They also have performed concerts in Japan, Canada, Germany, France, Switzerland, Korea, Mexico, and Romania. The Amernet’s New York debut was at Merkin Hall in 1994, with a return engagement in 1995. Subsequent New York appearances include Carnegie’s Weill Recital Hall in 1996 and 1998, the Americas Society in 1998, and Alice Tully Hall in 1997 and 1998, which The New York Times described as “immensely satisfying… most notable for the quality of unjaded discovery that came through so vividly.”
From September of 2000 until May 2004 the Amernet String Quartet was Corbett String Quartet in Residence at Northern Kentucky University, where they headed the Patricia A. Corbett String Program. Previous to that, the group held a residency at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music where they taught chamber music for four years. The Amernet String Quartet has received grants from the Corbett Foundation, the Greater Cincinnati Foundation, the LaSalle Foundation, the Fine Arts Fund, the Cincinnati Chamber Music Society and the Amernet Society for school outreach projects, commissions of new chamber music works and for their unique concert and conversation series. The group was the recipient of a Chamber Music Rural Residency Award in 1995. During that year they divided their time among the communities of Johnstown, Somerset and Indiana, Pennsylvania.
The Amernet Quartet has conducted workshops and master classes in Buffalo NY, Memphis TN, Erie PA, Los Angeles CA, Logan UT and other cities. They were founders of The Norse Festival, a summer chamber music workshop at Northern Kentucky University providing an opportunity for young musicians from the region to work intensively in chamber groups, under their guidance. Currently they host an annual summer Chamber Music Camp in Miami called Animato. The group has recorded the Concerto for Clarinet, Oboe, String Quartet and Bass by John Harbison with Sara Lambert Bloom and Charles Neidich as soloists, “The Butterflies began to Sing” a work for String Quartet, Bass, MIDI keyboard and computer, by Morton Subotnick, a complete CD of quartets by American composer Stephen Dankner, as well as a recording of the Debussy String Quartet and the Chausson Concerto for Piano, Violin and String Quartet. The Amernet Quartet maintains a connection with today’s composers, and has worked closely with such composers as Anthony Brandt, John Corigliano, Stephen Dankner, David Epstein, Toshi Ichiyanagi, Gerhard Samuel, and Morton Subotnick. The Amernet String Quartet performs contemporary repertoire and commissions works form today’s leading composers from all over the world. The Amernet Quartet has collaborated in concert with numerous artists and ensembles, such as the Tokyo, the St. Lawrence, and the Ying Quartets, Steve Ansell, Yehonatan Berick, Andres Diaz, Roberto Diaz, Miriam Fried, Yehuda Hanani, Toby Hoffman, Ida Kavafian, Paul Katz, Anton Kuerti, Ruth Laredo, Anthony McGill, Rainer Moog, Eugene Pridonoff, Sandra Rivers, Shauna Rolston, Nathaniel Rosen, Eric Shumsky, James Tocco, Dame Gillian Weir and Kyung Wha-Chung, Zvi Zeitlin, and many others.

Pre-AIDS Walk Miami Concert; Rocking for AIDS Awareness, Prevention, Testing, and Treatment
On Wednesday, April 14, 2010 @ 9:00 PM the legendary TOBACCO ROAD will join forces once again with South Florida’s pop-rock band THE COFFEE HOUSE GYPSIES in collaboration with CARE RESOURCE for a concert event to raise awareness about HIV and AIDS. Taking place just three days before the 22nd AIDS Walk Miami, the concert will kick off the 2010 AIDS Walk Week. The event will feature live art with silent auction. All proceeds from artwork auctioned at the show will go to Care Resource. Admission for this show will be $10 at the door or $7 for advanced tickets and a portion of all door and ticket sales will go to Care Resource. You must be 21 or older to attend. Tobacco Road is located at 626 South Miami Avenue, 33130.
The changing face of AIDS in this nation reflects a devastating number of people in South Florida. Fort Lauderdale ranks third and Miami ranks fourth in AIDS rates among metropolitan areas in the nation. As of 2008, more than 50,000 people were living with HIV/AIDS throughout Miami-Dade and Broward Counties combined. A high percentage of HIV positive residents in South Florida are not in care and hundreds more do not even know their HIV status. The state of the epidemic continues to grow and change; therefore, the support of the community for HIV education, prevention, research and treatment is crucial.
In an effort to increase awareness, participation, and support for HIV prevention, care, and treatment, The Coffee House Gypsies band will hold a concert at Tobacco Road for the general public and Care Resource of Miami. The event will feature live art and cameo appearances by other local bands such as: phoenix/NEBULIN, For The Record, Pretty On Paper, Tony Cruz of The Bailouts and Zaida from Ego Band.
The 22nd Annual AIDS Walk Miami TM fundraiser is scheduled for Saturday, April 17th, 2010. Sign up for the Walk today and help fight HIV/AIDS in your community. The International One-day fundraiser Dining Out For Life is also back for a 5th exciting year on Thursday, April 29, 2010. Dine Out and Help to Save Lives.
ABOUT THE COFFEE HOUSE GYPSIES
They have been active in Miami’s music scene since 1997 and they have performed in New York City and all over South Florida. They were the only band to-date to win nine Status QuO South Florida Live Music Awards with nominations in ten categories. In 2009 South Florida’s Sun Sentinnel called the Miami band “a band of nomads who keep moving to different musical genres.” The Miami Herald said, “CHG’s sound is reminiscent of The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac and The Mamas and the Papas,” referring to them as “a quintessential jam band.†Miami New Times said “Fans of Fleetwood Mac, the Mamas and the Papas, and 97.3 FM should dig this group without question. Their harmonies, both vocal and instrumental, are soothing and give a generally upbeat feel”

For Gullah Geechee and the 7 Dreams, artist Gary L. Moore curated an exhibition based on his perceptions of the Gullah/Geechee culture of his childhood in Pee Dee, South Carolina. The show includes his own sculptural and site-specific work, historical objects and artifacts from private collections, art from the Library System’s Permanent Art Collection, and rare books from the Florida Collection. The project makes aesthetic and metaphysical connections between folk culture, spirituality, histories of slavery and revolution, handmade aesthetics, and contemporary art. The 7 dreams of the exhibition’s title refer to seven ways the culture has survived, manifested itself and is part of the history of post-slavery African-American culture.
As part of the discussion, we might ask: How do folk cultures, languages and religions continue to be relevant? How does the impact of the encroaching tourist industry on the culture of the Sea Islands relate to development and gentrification in an urban area like Miami? How does this traditional African-American culture relate to contemporary Caribbean art and culture in Miami? Rather than a traditional panel discussion in which a group of “experts†speaks to a passive public, each member of the panel will work with a small group of audience members. At the end of the evening all of the groups will come back together as a whole to share their ideas.
This project has been funded through a grant from the Alternate ROOTS Community Artist/Partnership Program, with support from the Nathan Cummings Foundation and the Ford Foundation.

Buenos Dias from the brpr team!
Couldn’t make it to our private Nelly Furtado concert in Miami last month for Univision? How about joining us in NYC in May for our next installment?!

We hope we’ll see you there to find out and hang out with them in person!
If you want a chance for 2 all expense paid tickets to NYC to see the show, just show us what you can do! Show our sponsor some love and belt out your best version of the Subway jingle (the Spanish version — a little more challenging!). brpr’s own Jennifer Batchelor uploaded her video this morning…not too shabby. Check out Jen’s video, and upload your own to grab your tickets!

DVD Details
21 minutes / 21 days to a long, lean, athletic body is the promise of MM Branding’s premier in-home fitness release of The Montenegro Method (MM) DVD Series. The series includes three DVDs packed with high-intensity workouts that fuse fitness, sports and science and guarantees the most efficient workout to deliver maximum results, South Beach-style.
Miami-based exercise physiologist and fitness expert Marta Montenegro, who has owned and operated her own gym and spent many years working with and studying the methods of professional athletes, developed the Montenegro Method to get the body performing at its peak athletic potential. The Montenegro Method combines plyometrics and resistance exercises guaranteed to deliver the most efficient workout by building lean muscle and transforming the metabolism to burn more calories, even while at rest.
“I believe everyone can find their victory, maximize their personal achievements, transform their bodies and change their lives,†says Marta, who found her victory through training and helping others. “After suffering the loss of my father, whose last words were ‘find your victory,’ I’ve devoted my entire life to fitness and health.â€
Marta, who is also the Founder, Publisher and Editor-In-Chief of the award-winning SOBeFiT Magazine, has always been inspired by athletes. While developing The MM DVD Series, she explored the highly efficient way athletes train to get their long, lean and athletic bodies. The MM DVD Series includes: (DVD 1) Endurance BURN FAT: three 21-minute high-calorie burning cardio / circuit training workouts; (DVD 2) Strength GET TONED: three 21-minute giant muscle-building workouts that reshape the core / upper body / legs; and (DVD 3) Power ACCELERATE METABOLISM: four 10-minute express workouts that increase endurance and build strength, agility and power, setting your body up to burn calories even while at rest. Exclusive bonus material includes healthy lifestyle tips from leading experts in the sports and fashion industries.
Paying homage to Marta’s athletic inspirations, The MM DVD Series also features candid interviews and mini-workouts with three of Spain’s finest professional tennis players: Fernando Verdasco, the second highest ranked Spanish tennis player who is consistently among the top 15 players in the world, demonstrates an upper body workout with Marta; Feliciano Lopez, two-time Davis Cup winner, engages in core exercises alongside Marta; and Carlos Moya, former world No. 1 and one of only four active tennis players to have won more than 500 ATP matches, performs lower-body exercises with Marta.
By fusing pro-sports techniques into each routine, Marta trains you like a pro-athlete. “I designed the series with the principles of overload and progression in mind — viewers can mix and match their workouts to avoid comfort zones in order to continue challenging themselves for long-term results,†continues Marta. “My program allows anyone to see results, regardless of their fitness level. Beginner, intermediate or advanced, viewers will lose weight, gain muscle tone and strength, and have more energy.â€
The power of Marta’s passion, knowledge, credentials and experience inspires viewers to perform and push harder to reach their own personal victories. The Montenegro Method DVD Series offers both Spanish and English options and retails at $39.98. For more information, visit www.montenegromethod.com

The multi-platinum selling, Grammy winning singer-songwriter-producer-actress will perform live at the WaterFront Theatre inside the AmericanAirlines Arena to celebrate the release of her anticipated fifth studio album, NEW AMERYKAH PART: RETURN OF THE ANKH, to be released March 30th.
This is currently her ONLY scheduled performance and it’s in South Florida.
Tickets are now available online at TicketMaster.com and selling fast.
In-depth Biography
She grew up listening to ’70s soul and ’80s hip-hop, but Erykah Badu drew more comparisons to Billie Holiday upon her breakout in 1997, after the release of her first album, Baduizm. The grooves and production on the album are bass-heavy R&B, but Badu’s langurous, occasionally tortured vocals and delicate phrasing immediately removed her from the legion of cookie-cutter female R&B singers. A singer/songwriter responsible for all but one of the songs on Baduizm, she found a number 12 hit with her first single “On & On,” which pushed the album to number two on the charts.
Born Erica Wright in Dallas in 1971, Badu attended a school of the arts and was working as a teacher and part-time singer in her hometown when she opened for D’Angelo at a 1994 show. D’Angelo’s manager, Kedar Massenburg, was impressed with the performance and hooked her up with the singer to record a cover of the Marvin Gaye/Tammi Terrell duet “Precious Love.” He also signed Badu to his recently formed Kedar Entertainment label, and served as producer for Baduizm, which also starred bassist Ron Carter and members of hip-hop avatars the Roots on several tracks. The first single, “On & On,” became a number one R&B hit in early 1997, and Baduizm followed it to the top of the R&B album charts by March. Opening for R&B acts as well as rap’s Wu-Tang Clan, Erykah Badu stopped just short of number one on the pop album charts in April. Her Live album followed later in the year. In 2000 she returned with her highly anticipated second studio album, Mama’s Gun, which was co-produced by Badu, James Poyser, Bilal and Jay Dee and contained the hit single “Bag Lady.” Worldwide Underground, a loose affair billed as an EP despite being longer than many full-lengths, was released in 2003. Her next step, 2008’s New AmErykah, Pt. 1: 4th World War, initiated a series of planned releases across the following year. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide

The Family Resource Center of South Florida was founded in 1978 by a group of community leaders. Its mission is the prevention and treatment of child abuse and neglect through the provision of Crisis Intervention, Family Support Services, Case Management, Parent Education Classes, and Mental Health and Substance Abuse Counseling Services. In the last year, FRC provided services to more than 4,500 children, adolescents and adults, with the twin goals of minimizing length of stay in foster care and reunifying families. The Family Resource Center is driven by the principle that nothing is more fundamental to a community than the safety and well being of its children. The organization seeks to prevent and change dysfunctional parent/child interaction patterns, promote positive self-concepts, and build healthy relationships.

Cremata Gallery presents the first U.S. exhibition of Federico Brandt
Friday, March 19th, 2010. 7:00 p.m.
Federico Brandt. Construccion del Candidato. Mixed media on canvas. 41.3″ x 49.2″
Opening reception: Friday, March 19th, 2010. 7:00 p.m.
Location: Cremata Gallery. 1646 SW 8th Street. Miami, FL 33135
Dates: From March 11th through April 12th, 2010
Regular hours: Tuesday – Saturday 12:00 – 6:00 p.m. and Mondays by appointment
Admission: Free
Federico Brandt’s paintings gather the best tradition of modernity: his idea of structure, his spirit of invention and variation, order conceived as rhythm and his ability to place in his works an internal luminosity, a field of light that strongly corresponds with his characters and forms.
Federico Brandt is a contemporary artist and an architect by profession, whose work reveals a vision that is always mindful of a construction formed by rectangles or semicircles that he later recomposes into a sensitive architecture, to then work on the surface of the canvas. His polished technical skills are versatile and free. His compositions rise from simple abstract constructions connected by free strokes of thin lines, done without vacillation. Federico Brandt arrives at visual unity with mystery and charm, taking it from modernity to mastery, always requiring the spiritual creator. His work, with neither “folklorism” nor “tipismos”, produces a rhythm between the spaces, where the thoughtful observer will recognize authentic mastery.
Federico Brandt’s background derives from “La Escuela del Sur” formed by Joaquin Torres Garcia, painter and modern art teacher, recognized and honored as one of the important personalities of Latin American Modernism.”… the moral zeal and joy in art making that Torres-Garcia inculcated in his students, gives evidence of what a vibrant creation Latin American Modernism was. It was technically at least as accomplished as its counterpart in the pre-Abstract Expressionist New York of the 30’s and 40’s, but improved upon it, in one crucial respect: it transformed a borrowed European style into one deeply expressive of a New World culture. By Torres-Garcia’s standards, the work produced by El Taller was the genuine utopian article, and for anyone interested in modernism today, it is certainly an art to be reckoned with.”
Federico Brandt’s art retains the viewer’s attention, drawing them in, keeping them looking and generating an emotional response.
Come join us for this exciting show by a contemporary master who after many successful years of showing in Paris, London, Buenos Aires, Punta del Este and Montevideo comes for his “opera prima” to Miami, his first exhibition in the USA.

MARCH 2 – WOMEN ON THE VERGE OF A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN “After being dumped by her lover, Ivan (Fernando Guillen), Pepa (Carmen Maura) ï¬nds her life and the lives of those around her spiraling out of control in this madcap farce from acclaimed Spanish director Pedro Almodovar. As Pepa tries to contact Ivan, her friend Candela (Maria Barranco) reveals her involvement with a terrorist, Ivan’s wife visits with loaded guns, and Ivan is about to board a plane that Candela’s boyfriend plans to hijack.â€
MARCH 6 – CABARET “A British scribe (Michael York) and his comrades — including a flamboyant American nightclub entertainer named Sally Bowles (Liza Minelli) — chronicle the debauchery and turbulence of prewar Berlin in director Bob Fosse’s big-screen adaptation of a musical classic. Existing in a morally ambiguous void, the characters doggedly maintain their facades as the world outside the cabaret gears for war.â€
MARCH 9 – KIKA “Kika, a young cosmetologist, is called to the mansion of Nicolas, an American writer to make-up the corpse of his stepson, Ramon. Ramon, who is not dead, is revived by Kika’s attentions and she then moves in with him. They might live happily ever after but ï¬rst they have to cope with Kika’s affair with Nicolas, the suspicious death of Ramon’s mother and the intrusive gaze of tabloid-TV star and Ramon’s ex-psychologist Andrea Scarface.â€
MARCH 13 – CHICAGO “Roxie Hart (Renee Zellweger) hungers for stardom but ends up in the slammer, where superstar Velma Kelly (Catherine Zeta-Jones) is doing time for shooting her cheating husband, in this Best Picture winner based on the hit Broadway musical of the same name. When Velma’s lawyer, notorious Billy Flynn (RIchard Gere), makes Roxie a tabloid sensation, he sets up a singing, dancing catï¬ght between the all-too- willing rivals.â€
MARCH 16 – BAD EDUCATION “When ï¬lm director Enrique (Fele Martinez) is visited by his childhood friend and lover, Ignacio (Gael Garcia Bernal), Ignacio gives Enrique a short story he’s written that’s a factual account of the molestation he sustained at the hands of their Catholic school teacher, Father Manolo (Daniel Gimenez). But as Enrique adapts the story into a movie, he uncovers a dangerous web of deceit and revenge.â€
MARCH 20 – MOULIN ROUGE “A naïve young poet (Ewan McGregor) falls in love with a cabaret star (Nicole Kidman), and their ill-fated romance serves as a convenient peg on which to hang a dazzling array of songs, from snatches of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “The Sound of Music” to Madonna’s “Like a Virgin.” But the real star is director Baz Luhrmann, who came up with this infectious concoction that won two Oscars for art direction and costume design as well as six other nods.â€
MARCH 23 – TACONES LEJANOS “The plot follows the fractured relationship between a self-involved mother who is a famous torch song singer and the grown daughter she had abandoned as a child. The daughter, who works as TV newscaster, has married her mother’s ex-lover and has befriended a female impersonator of her mother. A murder further complicates this web of relationships.â€
MARCH 27 – PRISCILLA QUEEN OF THE DESERT “Invited to perform at a casino in remote Alice Springs, Australia, drag queens Mitzi (Hugo Weaving) and Felicia (Guy Pearce) and transsexual Bernadette (Terence Stamp) hit the road in a broken- down lavender bus named Priscilla in this campy comedy classic. Along the way, the friends change into their most outrageous costumes and lip-synch disco tunes — including plenty of ABBA — for the outback’s befuddled locals.â€
MARCH 30 – THE FLOWER OF MY SECRET “Popular romance novelist Leo (Marisa Paredes) takes a job at a newspaper under a pseudonym in this bittersweet ï¬lm. Fed up with writing meaningless books and on the verge of splitting with her husband (Imanol Arias), Leo banishes her overwhelming depression by pretending to be Amanda Gris. She’s hired by newspaperman Angel (Juan Echanove), who’s unaware of her true identity and assigns her to review her own romance novel.â€

The event will feature a live performance from Telemundo’s Latin heartthrob and Billboard nominated singer/actor JenCarlos Canela, music by the Steve Chase Band, and an extravagant live auction emceed by WPLG Channel 10’s Calvin Hughes and Neki Mohan, who is also a WOT mentor.

“At a time when people all over are losing jobs, it is more important than ever that we provide a way for our girls to receive the skills and higher education necessary to succeed in a modern world,†said Jennifer Valoppi, founder of the Women of Tomorrow Mentor & Scholarship Program. “The grades of our girls go up every year they are in our program. WOT girls have a 90% graduation rate, which is incredible by any standards, but when you consider that they come from an at-risk population, it’s even more amazing. We are extremely grateful for the continued generosity of our supporters and are looking forward to an incredible gala, especially with JenCarlos, who actually wrote a song inspired by our girls! It’s going to be amazing.â€
The evening will begin with a lavish cocktail reception in the Mandarin Oriental Ballroom Foyer with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the shimmering bay.

Following the cocktail reception, guests will be escorted into the Mandarin Oriental Ballroom, where tables will be adorned in bright, orange linens embellished with hand-beaded burnt orange overlays. Each table will feature tall mosaic vase centerpieces on sunburst-shaped mirrors, filled with fresh-cut flowers in sunset tones of rust, coral, yellow and orange and accented with hanging flower blossoms and votives. Metallic trimmings, standing vases of dark orange pampas plumes and crystal-beaded chandeliers tie into the bright, cheerful color palette to emulate the feeling of hope in a new day.
“The decision of orange as a prominent color, to us, was a very organic and obvious choice for this event,†said Sharon Siegel, President/Founder of DECO Productions and Grande Affaires. “Women of Tomorrow gives people hope for tomorrow – it’s like a sunrise on a beautiful new day, just like the cheery, spring colors we used to build the production for this.â€
Executive chef Pouzier will honor attendees with an indulgent four-course meal. Guests will feast on Lobster and Avocado Timbale with white asparagus and a ginger-mint coulis as a starter, Vine-Ripened Watermelon with feta and a mint chiffonade for an intermezzo, an entrée of Filet Mignon with Seared Foie Gras with a Perigourdine sauce, twice-baked potato and bundled fresh vegetables and Rich Molten Chocolate Cake with vanilla ice cream and Grand Marnier Soufflé with crème anglaise for dessert. Guests will be served a selection of paired house wines and fresh coffee.
The dinner gala will be complemented by the vocals of JenCarlos Canela and music by Miami’s own Steve Chase Band, in addition to a live auction hosted by Emmy Award-winning newscaster Calvin Hughes and local news anchor, reporter, and WOT mentor Neki Mohan, both known for their outstanding work on WPLG Channel 10. Miami’s top VIPs and philanthropists will be bidding on a series of luxurious items, including tickets to The Jay Leno Show, two tickets to Super Bowl 2011, a custom piece by world renowed artist Romero Britto, and a decadent “Shoe of the Season/Girlfriend’s Shopping Day†package from Saks Fifth Avenue; which will include $2,000 shoe credit, personalized cosmetic makeovers and a private catered lunch for five at the Fifth Avenue Club, amongst other items.
The grand finale of the event will feature a live performance by Telemundo star JenCarlos Canela for the after dinner crowd to enjoy. The Steve Chase Band will perform high-energy set list that will be sure to fill the dance floor. The silky-voiced Steve Chase, along with his orchestra will perform favorites from the 1950’s to the new millennium.
A Cuban-American born in Miami, JenCarlos Canela got his start in the world of entertainment at an early age. He’s acted in Telemundo novelas “Pecados Ajenos,â€â€œDoña Bárbara†and most recently was the lead in “Mas Sabe El Diabloâ€. Last year his singing career took off with, “Amor Quédate†the single from his first album “Búscame,†which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard Top Latin Albums charts. “Búscame,†produced by Rudy Perez, sold more on its first week than albums by established tropical stars such as Victor Manuelle and Olga Tañón. JenCarlos is nominated for a 2010 Latin Billboard Award in the category of “Debut Latin Artist of the Year.†Canela wowed gala attendees last year by singing a song he wrote about Women of Tomorrow, which was inspired by the mentees in the program. He met the girls while they were on a field trip at Telemundo.

Amazing Paintings by: SCOTT SCHEIDLY (in his own words)
Ohio Born. At age four I attempted my first art project by devouring a 10 pack of crayons thus turning my diaper into a Jackson Pollack. At age six I was introduced to the sweet nectar of school paste. At around this same time period I began producing turkey drawings by tracing my hand. At age seven I lost my thumb in an unfortunate Big Wheel accident ending my successful “Hand Turkey Period”. At age ten I ate more paste, however at age eleven I switched to water based paints & modeling clay. Between age twelve to sixteen I was in a daze from the paints I had eaten which I found out to be oil based. I did not produce much art during this time which we will call the “Your Sons Not Quit Right Period”. At age seventeen I had kicked my habits and refined my skills and began to earn money with art for the first time by doing fellow students art projects for lunch money. At age twenty I apparently graduated from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh and moved to Florida unbeknownst to me. I still live in Florida where I enjoy floundering about and painting pretty pictures, and I still eat paste now and again just to remind myself of my roots and how I ended up like this. Some day I hope not to be famous.

Dead Dads Club Corporation | Everything I Leave to You [2009] | Crayola Crayon on Cotton Paper | 79″ x 64″
SPINELLO GALLERY: 155 NE 38 ST, No. 101, Miami, FL – 33137
MAIN GALLERY: Dead Dads Club Corporation | “Final Performance” | Solo Debut
OPENING RECEPTION: Saturday, March 13th, 7-10pm
Spinello Gallery (155 NE 38 St., No. 101, Miami Florida – 33137) is tentative to introduce, with extreme trepidation: Dead Dads Club Corporation in their debut solo exhibition, “Final Performance.” DDCC magically corporealize bullshit cotton candy cone portraits, landscape cross-sections of brown derby cake, and hardcored florals by incantations of Crayola crayons. The inert non-ism works on expansive cotton paper are stepped on wildly by drunken hookers whenever they get the chance. “There is no fuckery with the painting tradition, early modernism, earthworks, or process art, other than to be aware to avoid a practical understanding of which therein.” So they say now.
Presidential address: “The intent is to create artistic monopolies over materials, contexts and combinations that will rule out any competition and thereby enhance our price point in that variety of object-making. Catering to the prevailing fondness for unique universality in epic fashion we deliver a calculating approach, giving art what art wants into the tide that has brought so many others to the top(of art’s glass ceiling). We maintain secrecy about our ideas and composites. The product is meant as decorative, presented as object and title. Our methods of writing and conclusions on subject and context are our taste, arrived at by an arbitrary free associative process.
The goal is to take over genre, form, principle and be the most elite provider of XXXL Crayola crayon images of bodies on the frozen earth and suffocating heads around. If we can’t do that, it’s onto the next genre, form, principle and fuck you all. Anything else.”
Opening Reception: Saturday, March 13th, 2010 / Exhibition through April 3rd, 2010.
Zack Balber | NW 7th Avenue (Pusher) [2010] | C-Print | Edition of 5 | 18″ x 26″
SPINELLO GALLERY: 155 NE 38 ST, No. 101, Miami, FL – 33137
PROJECT SPACE: Zack Balber| “My Americans” | Solo Debut
OPENING RECEPTION: Saturday, March 13th, 7-10pm
Spinello Gallery (155 NE 38 St., No. 101, Miami Florida – 33137) is proud to announce the addition of a new project space. The inaugural exhibition we be launched by the much anticipated solo debut show, “My Americans,” by Zack Balber, featuring a suite of photographs inspired by Balber’s obsession with people, colors, and environment as he commuted daily through Little Haiti, Overtown, and Downtown Miami, to avoid traffic and construction.
“Photography is not like painting,” Henri Cartier-Bresson told The Washington Post in 1957. “There is a creative fraction of a second when you are taking a picture. Your eye must see a composition or an expression that life itself offers you, and you must know with intuition when to click the camera. That is the moment the photographer is creative, Oop! The Moment! Once you miss it, it is gone forever.”
Over fifty years later, Balber’s images like those of “The Americans” by Robert Frank, reflect a similar perspective of America yet now embodying the cultural integration that is characteristic of the 21st century. Originally from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, a monochromatic steel town, Balber was transported out of the gloom and into the glitter. “What are you looking at Cracker?” was his welcome. Like T.S. Eliot in his poem “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock,” they both found themselves seeking to connect to an unfamiliar society, longing for acceptance.
Opening Reception: Saturday, March 13th, 2010 / Exhibition through April 3rd, 2010.

MARCH 12 – APRIL 3, 2010
SECOND SATURDAY / SAT, MARCH 13 11AM-9PM
Sarah Conaway and Graham Hudson both employ the use of quotidian materials to create beauty. A translation of style and aesthetics, relativity and perspective, their work highlights the formal qualities of the mundane in a richly historical exploration of the formal. Examining Hudson and Conaway together affords the viewer an extensive discovery in the use of line, form, and shadow: for Conaway through the documentation of temporary sculptural constructions, and for Hudson through the de-construction and then manipulation of functional objects.
The exhibition at Gallery Diet will bring together a series of eight black and white photographs by Conaway including Bound To Fail, The Ship, and Sunrise with a selection of sculpture from Graham Hudson’s re-constructed chair series including Collapse Chair, Inverted Bar Stool, and Two Chairs.
Sarah Conaway lives in Los Angeles, California. After receiving her MFA in photography from the University of Illinois at Chicago in 2001 her work has been included in numerous exhibitions such as Artists in and Out of Hazard Park curated by Sterling Ruby at the Galerie Christian Nagel in Berlin, I am Eyebeam at Gallery 400 curated by Melanie Schiff and Lorelei Stuart in Chicago, and Sarah Conaway at Bellwether Gallery in New York.
Graham Hudson is based out of London and has exhibited extensively throughout the United States and Europe. Previous exhibitions in Miami include Design Miami 2009 and Locust Projects 2008, his work has also been featured in solo exhibitions at Monitor in Rome, Zinger Presents in Amsterdam and, Rokeby in London. Group exhibitions include From a Distance at Wallspace in New York, 6 of 1: Performance and Sculpture at The Camden Arts Center in London, and New Religious Art at The Liverpool Biennial .
Special thanks to The Hotel of South Beach, Florida for so generously hosting Ms. Conaway. www.thehotelofsouthbeach.com

Art in America review
SunTek Chung’s elaborately staged photographs are brilliant send-ups of cultural cliches, with a bitingly satirical edge. Populated by a variety of classic Asian and American stereotypes, his scenarios break open such contrived depictions by synthesizing numerous eastern and western social signifiers to demonstrate that stereotypes, whatever form they come in, may just as easily apply to one culture as to another.
Chung himself plays the role of protagonist in these fictitious tableaux that fall somewhere between Cindy Sherman’s objectifying film stills and David LaChapelle’s outrageously baroque staged photographs. By dramatically changing his appearance and demeanor in every role, he becomes the perfect foil for canned notions of nationalistic homogeneity and requisite expectations of masculinity.
In his earlier images, Chung confronts generic depictions of martial arts heroes by presenting a side of these characters rarely seen. While a stealthy ninja daydreams of a life filled with love (not unlike the kind offered in the romance novel he clutches in his hand), a kung-fu master turns fierce cricket player, striking a pose under a Shinto archway papered in Burberry plaid.
Elsewhere, American stereotypes are turned on their head in photographs of a beer-blunted redneck from the “Dirty South†celebrating the rise of another South (that of South Korea), and a lawn-obsessed suburbanite who tames his rice paddy plots with an extravagant array of gardening tools. The word assimilation takes on a whole new meaning after viewing Chung’s alternate versions of the quintessential Asian-American male.
In his most recent images, Chung turns to pop-cultural themes—both high and low, past and present—for inspiration, inviting other characters to play along. Huck Finn and Jim are cross- referenced with Bruce Lee and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as they steer their raft towards a better world, freed from the cultural detritus and social myopia that previously weighed them down. Similarly, Daedalus and Icarus, clad in Chinese silk hot pants, their wings constructed from an assortment of defunct electrical fans, are caught in a fall from grace that is both physical and metaphorical.
As humorous as they may be, a closer look at Chung’s images reveals the unsettling presence of a man hiding in plain sight—the artist himself—whose identity games offer up a searing critique of historically received wisdoms that sadly persist even to this day. His rogues gallery of affected poses, then, which range from the “bob and weave†to the “duck for cover,†to the signature dynamism of his spring-loaded “jack-in the box,†whose confrontational gaze is unavoidable, ultimately arise from his own day to day survival strategies. A rare instance, one might say, of the perfect fusion between the personal and the political.
Whether critique or homage, over-the-top burlesque or restrained meditation, Chung’s entire body of work over the past ten years ultimately reveals deeply entrenched processes of social normalization and ideological control. Processes, it’s worth noting, that we all find ourselves complicit in at one time or another, both unwittingly and otherwise.
If you didn’t get a chance to make it to last weekend’s Art Battles, come out tomorrow night Saturday 13th for art walk and see the exhibit the new times calls “Art Battles turns Wynwood’s Eazy Street Gallery into a war zoneâ€.doors open at 7pm, to midnight.
Art Battles, a live painting competition showcasing emerging street artists who vie for prize money and the chance to exhibit their work in a gallery. After Miami, the paint-slinging scrums are scheduled to move on to Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Dallas, Seattle,Las Vegas, and New Orleans .

It’s the Grove the way the Grove once was. Like an exotic bloom that flowers but once a year, the wild blossom unfolds its petals once more: the twelfth annual celebration of the original Gifford Lane Art Stroll will burst into color and lilting music along one usually sleepy little block of Gifford Lane between Oak and Day Avenues (3200 block) on Sunday, March 14th from 12 noon to five o’clock.
The event features more than sixty visual artists displaying their works on the fences and in the front yards along the cute little lane, including a number of the finest artists in the region.
The nearly legendary little Art Stroll continues a Grove tradition of wild and crazy artists who defy convention to bring people together in the magical clearing under the trees. More than a decade ago, a half-dozen active artists lived on this block of Gifford. They started the tradition. Most of them have now moved away but a hearty band of neighbors—several dozen strong–meet frequently to carry on this most unlikely of all arts festivals.
The Gifford Lane Art Stroll promises to be a good hearted afternoon of delights under the leafy canopy on Sunday, March 14 from 12 noon to 5:00 p.m. Be sure to be there.

A veteran DJ for over 15 years, Donald Glaude has cemented his reputation as a crowd-rocking favorite and one of the most in demand artists in the country. He is one of those rare DJs who perceives their role to be that of an all-around entertainer and performer. He exudes energy, dropping track after funky track, arms aloft, and has been known to join the dancers on the floor. It is the combination of these ingredients that have helped him create a unique connection with his audience. Experience him for yourself as Digital presents Donald Glaude at Cameo.

Who We Are takes aim at the pervasive influence of the mass media in our everyday lives. In an attempt to mold our tastes, behavior, and even points of view, the media works diligently to create a standardization in the masses that will negate any attempt at transgression or even
healthy debate. W-10 challenges the media’s diligence through the use of satire in soft-sculpture, installations, photography, video, etc.
