Father and Son (Otets i syn/ Îòåö è ñûÃ)(Russia/2003)
Thursday, December 18 – 8:30pm
Film Series in conjunction with the Russian Dreams exhibition at the Bass Museum of Art:
THE DREAMS OF ALEKSANDR SOKUROV FILM RETROSPECTIVE IN COLLABORATION WITH THE MIAMI BEACH CINEMATHEQUE
All films screened at the Miami Beach Cinematheque, 512 Española Way, Miami Beach except Russian Ark on Jan 11, which screens at the Bass Museum of Art.
Thursday, December 18 – 8:30pm
Father and Son (Otets i syn/ Îòåö è ñûÃ) (Ru ssia/2003)
With Andrei Shchetinin and Aleksei Nejmyshev
Father and Son won the FIPRESCI prize at the Cannes Film Festival with the following note from the critics who gave the award: “For brilliant images and the director’s original way of depicting the powerful bond that unites a father and a son.” The film is part of a trilogy begun with Mother and Son, and will end with the planned Two Brothers and a Sister. With one of the most poetic films ever made, Sokorov shows that intensity of emotions and imagery associated with human intimacy does not need to be associated with sexuality (which some critics read into the film’s premise, incorrectly, according to the director himself).
WINNER: Cannes Film Festival FIPRESCI Prize Russian Guild of Film Critics Golden Aries for Art Direction.
“ACHINGLY BEAUTIFUL… dreamily seductive and profoundly disturbing”–BBC
“LIKE A DREAM WITHIN A DREAM. Its images and emotions are vivid, disquieting and also hermetic, and while it may frustrate your desire for clear storytelling and psychological transparency, it has an intensity that surpasses understanding.” -New York Times
Tickets are $10 or $7 MBC and Bass Museum Members, and advance tickets are available at www.MBCinema.com.

Miami Cyclocross
North Miami, FL (Oleta River State Park)
January 4th
Click Flyers for larger image
On Sunday, January 4th, the 2nd annual Miami Cyclocross race will take place at Oleta River State Park. Cyclo-cross (sometimes cyclocross, CX, CCX, cyclo-X or ‘cross’) is a form of bicycle racing. Races take place typically in the autumn and winter and consists of many laps of a short (2.5–3.5 km or 1.5–2 mile) course featuring pavement, wooded trails, grass, steep hills and obstacles requiring the rider to quickly dismount, carry the bike whilst navigating the obstruction and remount in one motion. It’s part road bike, part mountain bike and part steeplechase.
And it’s exploding in popularity.
It’s cyclocross, and it is becoming one of the fastest-growing sports in the bicycle world.
The Miami race is one of a eight race state wide series and will feature a course that includes asphalt, grass, sand, clay and concrete that will require the racers to dismount a few times per lap in a unique Miami setting. In addition to the serious cyclist categories (Cat 1-5 mens and womens according to USA Cycling rules) there will be races from children 6 years old to grand masters 55+. Although the serious cyclists may have a bicycle specifically for Cyclocross, just about any hybrid, mountain or average road bike will suffice. Racers will be treated to an enthusiastic crowd, lots of ringing cowbells, free Belgian waffles and a fun time overall. Double points in the Florida Cyclocross series.

Do… Bring a blanket or low beach chairs. There is no “seating” at Shakespeare in the Park. An extra blanket comes in handy because sometimes it gets a little nippy.
Do… Bring a picnic. Â Pick up a dinner ‘to go’ from a local Restaurant or have your neighborhood market make up a gourmet picnic for you!
Do… Bring the family. Â Our shows are perfect for kids 8 and up. This production is a little more for older children. Â There is realistic violence in this play including Swordfights, verbal abuse and of course, Macbeth loses his head in the end. There is a lot of blood and there are scary witches, too, so it is not a good show for toddlers.
Do… Bring some cash or a check to throw in the donation basket! All funds go to our education programs
Don’t … Bring tall chairs unless you plan to sit towards the back of the field.
Don’t …Bring Dogs. Â With picnics and people sitting on the ground, dogs tend to annoy other patrons in the park.
Don’t… Go back stage to visit friends or family members No one is permitted backstage without a staff ID.
Do… Find an usher to send flowers or notes back stage, the actors appreciate it.

The word paraphernalia has evolved over time. What is now loosely defined as “equipment, apparatus or furnishing used in or necessary for a particular activity”, historically referred to a bride’s property beyond her dowry. Paraphernalia as a word, has taken a new connotation and has become more intertwined with the realm of taboo. Paraphernalia is a means to an end, and is applicable in almost every aspect of life.
The humorous, historical, political and personal aspects of the word or idea of “paraphernalia” is explored in the paintings, drawings, sculptures, installations, video and photography in this nationally juried exhibition.
The Garden and Grotto of Manifest Destiny
From the Burning Man Festival in the Black Rock desert of Nevada, to the Bakehouse Art Complex here in Miami, artist Randy Polumbo has taken his 30 foot installation across the country. The grotto will be on display in the main parking lot of the Bakehouse from Thursday, December 4th through January 25th, 2009.
Come experience this interactive installation! A flower field comprised of bizarre satellite-shaped blossoms gathered around and inside a modified shipping container lures the viewer into a grotto. These techno-organic LED illuminated flowers with solar panel petals and stamens are made of softly glowing sex toys. Set in the BAC parking lot, this modified ARMY container, punctured with baby bottle nipples cast out of recycled glass amid a pollination frenzy of solar flowers, creates a soft glowing subconscious garden. Visitors become pollinators, tempted by the glass nipples to penetrate the grotto.
60+ Artist Studios
BAC artists will open their studios to the public for this event.
Swenson Gallery
“64”: BAC artists work within the confines of a 64 square inch artwork restriction. This multi media exhibition will showcase paintings, drawings, sculpture, mixed media works andphotography.

BIOGRAPHY:
For over 30 years, Howard Austin Feld has produced photographs from the demure to the erotic. His work has been featured in numerous national and international magazines, TV shows and has clients from around the world. Howard became interested in photography right after high school and in 1980 opened his studio in Miami, Florida. For the last 30 years Howard has owned one of the largest fashion-product catalog studio
in the country. In 1995 he went totally digital and became the first fully digital catalog studio in Florida. Howard’s interests went more towards nudes and erotic portraiture and in 1998 invented what he calls Pixelimpressionism and went on and opened his first Gallery in the heart of the famous South Beach, on Lincoln Road. Howard is recognized in his native home, South Beach, Florida and the world over, for his phenomenal works of art. His photographs are unique by virtue of his use of lighting, color, skin retouching and body shaping. His studio is located in Miami, Florida and his custom built outdoor studio is in his home in North Miami, Florida. For many years, Howard has taught photography workshops, seminars and lectures on the fine art of erotic and nude photography.

After you hear Brahms’ Horn Trio at the Musicians’ Forum on the 15th, you will surely want to join us for this concert as we welcome Jennifer Montone, Principal Horn of the Philadelphia Orhcestra. Ms. Montone will perform Ligeti’s Horn Trio, whose combination of instruments was directly inspired by Brahms’ own Trio. Mozart’s Horn Quintet and Brahms’ Piano Quartet No. 1 round out this vibrant chamber program.
Did you know? Mozart wrote his horn works for his friend Joseph Leutgeb and in his original score manuscripts wrote snide notes (in jest) to Leutgeb, such as “take it easy, animal” and “finished? thank heaven!”

All films screened at the Miami Beach Cinematheque, 512 Española Way, Miami Beach except Russian Ark on Jan 11, which screens at the Bass Museum of Art.
Thursday, December 11 – 8:30pm
Mother and Son (Mat i syn/ Ìà òü è ñûÃ)(Russia/1997)
With Gudrun Geyer and Alexei Ananishnov Mother and Son is a love story about the deep affection that exists between a mother and her son, which Sokurov portrays as the greatest love in the world: primal, life-giving and pure. The characters are seen within and against a landscape of melancholy beauty, which Sokurov uses like a German Romantic painter. When the mother dies, the son is left entirely alone in a world which offers little comfort.
“ONE OF THE GREATEST FILMS EVER SEEN!”- Combustible Celluloid
“SOKUROV IS WHAT CINEMA CAN BE AT ITS GREATEST!”- Susan Sontag
“**** One of those rare works that extends the art of film, suggesting for all its melancholy that movies do have a future.” – Dave Kehr, DAILY NEWS

FROM: Ever Chavez, FUNDarte, Inc.
Dear friends and colleagues,
As you may know, by several media reports, Gema Corredera has been in a detention center in Puerto Rico since November 14. Apparently, she was detained at the airport due to some random immigration operation they were conducting there. Gema is in the process of adjusting her legal resident status through the Cuban Adjustment Act. However, the authoirities in charge of the case have taken longer than expected to release her under humanitarian parole, in spite of the efforts of her family, friends, and lawyers involved. She is facing health problems while in detention.
As a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and assisiting artists in the world, we have presented Gema (Gema y Pavel) in several occassions, for your enjoyment. Now we need your help. FUNDarte is joining efforts to help Gema Corredera in these difficult times.
An account has been created in Banco Popular (BPPR): Comité Pro-Fondos Gema Corredera – Account Number 203336470 to cover her legal and personal expenses. Any deposit and assistance you can provide will be greatly appreciated. These are the branches of Banco Popular in Miami. Please go today to the one closest to you and help Gema.
Thanks!

{There are a few smaller fairs that I want to mention specifically that might have escaped your notice. Sure, all the big fairs are great, but check these out and I think you will be pleasantly surprised. PooL Art Fair at the Cavalier Hotel is definitely one of my favorites. I love the little lounge they created. Art Now at the South Seas. And INK Miami at the Dorchester. There is also The Artists Fair at Shelborne, but we have not made it by, yet. So, after your brain has gone into overload at the massive white tents, take a little break and stop by these funky boutique hotels to see some exciting, energetic artwork.}

Upcoming events Celebrating Art Basel Miami Beach 2008
We are pleased to announce the exhibition of various Latin American and American artists who are captivating collectors and art lovers.
Participating artists:
Dec. 3 Wednesday
Carlos Romaguera (Puerto Rico), painter, has participated in many collective and individual expositions. In all of them he has received very positive reviews.For Romaguera, colour is life, it is the energy that surrounds us and transforms us into gifts of beauty.
Dec. 4 Thursday
Marcia Ramos-Perello (Chile), painting. Her lyrical abstractions establish another perceptive possibility in art: intended to be a medium for the invisible energy of the universe. With a radical rupture with reality and the complete abandon of representation, Ramos-Perello creates a world of introspection and inner realities.
Dec. 6 Saturday
Natalia Preciado (US), painter and photographer, specialized in recycled materials as support. She currently studies Fashion Design for Film at Cooper Union University, NY, and she has received awards in Florida and nationally for her paintings.
Amparo Garzon (Colombia), painting and sculpture. Her art evokes the aspiring almost none existent today, to the wholeness as a creator. Not only is the creation capable of constituting a complete and coherent universe, but the marvel of enabling a unified existence with the worlds she creates.
This exhibition will be open until December 30, 2008. Featured artists will be present during this exhibition and public will be able to speak with them.
Dec. 7 Sunday
Special exclusive exhibition of posters by acclaimed Colombian artist Fernando Botero. Born in Medellin, 1932, is a Colombian neo figurative artist, coming to prominence when he won the first prize at the Salon de Artistas Colombianos in 1959. His work includes still life and landscapes, but Botero tends to primarily focus on situational portraiture noted for their exaggerated proportions and the corpulence of the human figures and animal figures. His works are informed by a Colombian upbringing and social commentary is woven throughout his work.
Join us for a cocktail opening everyday from 7pm to 9pm.
Where: 900 South Miami Ave. No.152 , Mary Brickell Village, Miami, FL. 33130

LIPSTICK BY ROSARIO BOND
Rosario Bond proposes neo-expressionistic paintings made out of thick layers of impasto, set over multiple drippings, disrupted lines, and child-like figures where individuals, objects, and nature intertwine in voracious relationships. LIPSTICK depicts parodies of icons, such as rock stars, models, and other iconic portraits represented through gestural brushstrokes and a bright and intense palette. Bond dislocates the modern narrative, dismantling logic and linearity in the character’s connections in the scene. She tackles and traps her figures in a challenging Meta discourse dominated by parody and humor.
Her paintings are collections of personal mythologies combined with critical imagery, posed over disrupted settings and dislocated compositions inhabited by unusual and serie objects. Her works are a monumental palimpsest of delirious and contrasting characters that allude to the feminine condition.
In her hectic and fevered paintings, full of hallucinating entities transported by rambling composition and restless scribbling lines, Bond establishes a radical dialogue with the Contemporary German neo-expressionists.
The painting Lipstick, 2008 depicts three women’s faces with sarcastic expressions. The one at the left center shows her sensuous red lips collated over the canvas, creating a sense of derision and a burlesque atmosphere. The picture plane is delimitated by two thin legs balance on a woman’s red heels, in a metaphorical allusion of an exaggerated and stereotyped femininity. The blue and turquoise pastel colors point out to sarcastic references to the feminine condition. The dominant scribbling lines on the canvas disfigure and distort shapes and forms, generating a chaotic composition. In Lipstick, Bond satirizes on the social identity of women. In Bunny Girl, 2008 the artist again refers to the feminine condition. The Bunny Girl is cynically outlined on the right side of the composition; in half body shaped by fuzzy colors and disrupted lines, she is a mutant and critical being. One of Bond’s main concerns is the status of women. In the painting Shopping Spree, 2008 Bond depicts a delirious shopping spree of three women, the one in the middle holding a Prada purse as a trophy. It is dominated by a rough composition and a disorderly combination of figures; the women are surrounded by a chaotic world. The work alludes to the wild consumerism of the day among women. In Peacock Dancers, 2007 two stylized feminine figures pose as cheerful dancers surrounded in festive feathers . Disruptive broken lines saturate the highly dramatic scene. Again, Bond’s strong allusions to critical femininity are present.
The canvas Teddy Bear and His Friends, 2008 shows numerous child like figures, distorted and covered by extreme drippings, in high contrasting yellows, reds and blues. There is a highly saturated composition crowed with curvilinear traits and irregular spots and outlines. Bond’s approach to the works gives prevalence to feelings and moods rather than to an objective realistic representation. Spontaneous lines and forms give birth to imaginary entities that relate to childhood memories infused with a comedic stanza. Bond proposes a sarcastic Teddy Bear’s vision surrounded by multiple mordant creatures that sharply stare at us as an incisive allusion to infancy.
In the work Family Furies, 2008 Bond presents two child like beings outlined in green colors and delineated through irregular contours. Multiple scribbled lines sketch the body and face; the deeply emotional eyes express sadness, concern, and isolation as humanized references – perhaps in allusion to a personal mythology or an autobiographical stance. In The Gallerist, 2008 Bond pursues the same approach of using collected memories on which to base her paintings. A derisive goat’s face and a comical blue visage stand over a crowed landscape of imaginary and distorted flowers, rivers, and plants. Here, the artist mockingly alludes to today’s complex artist-gallery relationship . Again, irregular outlines, multiple drippings, color spots and disfigured entities profile the mordant Bond’s approach to painting.
Materia Gris, 2007 exhibits a gigantic black and white dream landscape with curious flowers and segments of imaginary architectures. The calm atmosphere is disrupted by the organic violent lines of plants, and by the asymmetric composition that dislocates the realistic order of elements. This painting becomes a very peculiar work in this show. Bond has eliminated all beings and switched to a reflection on nature.
Bond’s provocative and disruptive paintings radically distanced from beauty and harmony establish an artistic connection to the highly politicized German Neue Wilde movement. In the rough approach of Jonathan Meese, Andre Butzer and Albert Oehlen, Bond offers an abysal reflection of our unsettling world.
Milagros Bello, Ph.D.
Curator of the show.
