VERGE emerging art fair is proud to announce a stellar list of exhibitors showing living artists (isn’t that what “emerging” used to mean?) for its return to Miami Beach, coinciding and located only two blocks from Art Basel Miami Beach and the newly relocated Design / Miami. For its first year under Fair Director Maria Jenson, Verge will once again raise the bar for real luxury and comfort of the art viewing experience for attendees. Tired of eating out of trucks or cold sandwich cafe food? Verge Miami has you covered. A popular spot for collectors and attendees, VERGE offers 5-star dining options at the Catalina’s Kung Fu Sushi and Maxine Restaurants. Just drinks? Never fear–no overpriced $12 bottle drinks at VERGE! Join us at hotspot The Red Bar at the Catalina for daily FREE cocktail mixers at its famous Happy Hour from 7-8pm. Yes, free drinks every day!
“VERGE consistently breaks the mold, providing the vision to introduce new artists that are quickly scooped up by a market famished for new direction.” says Director Maria Jenson. How many artists now commanding high prices got their start at VERGE? Droves. And there’s no question as to why. Save yourself the trading floor frustrations, skip the others and find tomorrow’s stars at VERGE today before the run to cash in on their newfound popularity after their VERGE premier.
This year, VERGE welcomes back another impressive list of popular regular exhibitors, including ANTIDOTE curatorial collective from Brooklyn, New York, Rush Arts/Corridor Gallery, New York, New York, The Fashion Institute of Technology/Fine Arts Dept., New York, New York, Projects Gallery, Philadelphia, PA, the ever-keen eye of Sara Nightingale Gallery, Shelter Island, New York, the always-provocative work of Van Uxem Projects, New York, NY, and a room of whimsy by HD Studios and the fantastic Hollye Davidson of hometown Miami, Florida. RUSSELL/PROJECTS of Richmond, Virginia will present Drawing Show works by art star Peregrine Honig, of Bravo Channel’s famous “Work of Art” artists reality show. Newcomers this year include Miami galleries including Artformz, presenting a special “Small Works” show of works under fifteen inches square, and the robust program of newly opened Art Modern Gallery, presenting not one, but two rooms of new and emerging art, and Hot Commodities, presenting the work of over a dozen local Miami and New York artists. International galleries from around the world are rolling out spectacular exhibitions for VERGE attendees, including Black And, an emerging gallery from Holywell Bay, United Kingdom, presenting a special video project also showing at MANIFESTA 5, the G2 Gallery of Tokyo, Japan, Amsterdam’s Kahmann Gallery, and Fredrik Strømsæther Projects of Paris, France. Rounding out the VERGE showcase this year is Team Art! of Chicago, Illinois, Olga Papkovitch Projects, New York, New York, Vital at Verge, New York, New York, Pure Luck, Brooklyn, New York, New York, New York’s US+U., and What It Is Gallery, hailing from the Oak Park outskirts of the city of Chicago, Illinois, and Scotch Projects from New York’s Lower East Side.
CIRQUE DU SOLEIL AT VERGE
Once again, breaking the mold. VERGE will serve as the center of the Cirque du Soleil on Miami Beach at its Opening Night Preview Reception with amazing live performances on location to wow attendees, with everything from contortionists (by a two-time Russian Gold Medalist), sky jumpstilt walkers, jugglers, Cerceax acts and more! If you’ve ever attended a Cirque performance, this not-to-be-missed event will give attendees the once-in-a-lifetime chance to get up close and personal with Cirque performers like never before!
DRINKS, ANYONE?
After this last couple of years, we could sure as hell use one, and we bet you could too. Come on over, we’ve got you covered. Chillax at The Opening Night Preview with Bombay Sapphire, Bacardi Rum and Grey Goose Vodka. At both the Opening Reception and the VIP Rooftop Pool Reception, we’ve got you covered with the not-so-subtly amazing MamaJuana Specialty Rum and tasty mixer recipes throughout the evening. Keep an eye out for the MamaJuna ladies working the crowd throughout the evening! Prefer a nice glass of wine? Check this out: Verge has partnered with VERGE wineries–that’s right: VERGE wineries–to offer a signature brand Syrah wine straight from Dry Creek Valley. Full-bodied, fully-breathed and sumptuous, every bottle is a revelation in wine-making.

THE DRAWING SHOW
Continuing in the effort to advance the interests of unique approaches to the current state of visual art, Verge is proud to announce its commitment to mounting a section devoted exclusively to drawing as a medium that overlaps all disciplines. The Drawing Show will present drawing as a unique artistic practice, one that is universally accessible, and often the first step in an artist’s exercise of ideas that inform both their larger creative practice and the cultivation of new forms of visual art.
As a touchstone to the evolutions influenced by and visited upon artistic practice by the art marketplace and its requisite economic fluxuations, drawing continues to serve as a subversive force, both in its delineation of artistic ideas as well as in its potential to inspire and serve as the first step in production unrestrained by economic categories.
EMERGING LATIN ART
Recognizing the unique cultural environment of Miami as a gateway to South America, Verge will offer a speial section devoted to a survey of the best in emerging Latin art. As a constantly growing demographic within the United States, developments within Latin art can no longer be ignored without consequence to the state of visual art as a whole. This platform is a surprisingly overlooked devotion to the subject not represented anywhere else in the Miami art fair marketplace. By offering a section devoted to the exploration of new trends and ideas surround emerging Latin art, Verge is poised to act at the forefront of an otherwise underserved and underrepresented realm of artistic production.
COLLECTIVES & PROJECTS
Since the onset of the Recession, a growing movement among artists has taken hold to organize into collective and artistic groups who have taken charge of their own reception in the public sphere. These groups often operate at the fringes of commercial centers, in places remote from and yet accessible to traditional commercial centers. This has translated in the realm of emerging art as a unique approach to participation in the art marketplace. Freed from the constraints of previous decades’ definition of collectives as anti-capital or even hybridized independent approaches to their own public reception, these groups have evolved into saavy operators capable of fully delivering on the needs of their own self-interests. Verge is invested in providing an alternative platform for these groups and their projects.

The Small World Of Willard Wigan Comes To Miami 11/12/10
The Small World Of Willard Wigan Comes To Miami
Internationally renowned micro-sculptor opens gallery in Midtown Gallery with the globe’s tiniest and priciest art
Willard Wigan Midtown Miami 3252 NE First Avenue
Opening day Friday, Nov. 12
First public viewings from 11am to 6pm
Private VIP reception (by invitation only) 7:30 to 10pm
The gallery operates until Monday, Dec. 6
www.wiganart.com
The enchanting world of Willard Wigan makes its debut in Miami for Art Basel with 58 pieces–most formed in the eye of a needle, visible only by high-powered microscopes in custom cases. Highly anticipated pieces include Little Miss Muffet, Cameron Diaz, Mega Yacht “Hope†and the first showing of Cupid—arguably the smallest piece of art ever created measuring 385.77 micron (equal to one millionth of a meter). Prices range from $25,000 to over $100,000.
Awarded England’s Member of the British Empire (MBE) honor by the Queen herself at Buckingham Palace, and TED Achievement Award, Wigan’s internationally acclaimed work will be unveiled at his inaugural exhibition in Miami and opening of his own gallery in Midtown Miami.
Alonzo Mourning acts as “celebrity curator†for an invitation-only opening night in celebration of Wigan’s downsizing of “The Three Kings†(Miami Heat’s Big 3), along with Heat dancers, mascot and special appearances by Heat players.
The gallery operates until Monday, Dec. 6, and donations of $5 are requested to tour the gallery, benefitting special educational programs, including Odyssey of the Mind and The Dyslexia Foundation.
BACKGROUND: An extraordinary micro-sculptor whose work has been described as the “the eighth wonder of the world,†Willard Wigan’s masterpieces cannot be seen by the naked eye–only viewed through a high-powered microscope. Perhaps equally amazing is the personal story of success and struggles Wigan endured and overcame to achieve the acclaim and respect he now enjoys. Suffering from undiagnosed dyslexia, Wigan found solace and peace within his own private fantasy world of nature and art. Many of his sculptures are only three times the size of a blood cell and each piece – fairies, animals, movie stars – typically sit framed in the eye of a needle, or on the head of a pin—making him the “Micro Angelo†of the art world.

ZOOM presents a cohesive perspective that uses exhibitions, educational programming, and curatorial input to foster an interconnected discourse. Exploring an unconventional framework, ZOOM’s Selection Committee is comprised of curators Sam Bardaouil (Art Reoriented) and Shamim M. Momin (Los Angeles Nomadic Division LAND, former Whitney Museum), who together with Director Angeliki Georgiou have produced an intimate collection of 20 exhibitions showcasing artists by non-profit organizations and galleries from 11 countries.

ZOOM gives much deserved exposure to a burgeoning Middle Eastern art community while establishing itself as the essential gathering place for collectors, artists and art professionals.
“ZOOM’s genius lies in its focused yet open-ended approach,†says Sam Bardaouil, co-founder and curator of Art Reoriented. “By changing its thematic focus it will allow for a succession of worthy explorations which, while adding to the diversity of the international art fair scene, can allow for an educational experience accessible to the international arts crowd.” Debates, ZOOM’s educational program curated by Art Reoriented, will bring together notable international figures that will address current contemporary Middle Eastern art issues. Hosted at the neighboring Bass Museum of Art in Miami Beach, Debates participants include Susan Cotter, Curator of Exhibitions, Guggenheim Abu Dhabi Project; William Wells, Founding Director of Cairo’s Townhouse; Jessica Morgan, the Daskalopoulos Curator, International Art, Tate Modern; Francois Pouillon, Department Head of the History of Mediterranean Islamic Program at École Des Hautes Études En Sciences Sociales; Livia Alexander, Executive Director of ArteEast; León Krempel, Curator, Haus der Kunst, Munich and internationally renowned artists Sara Rahbar and Ahmed Mater.

M’DELA Bio:
As a little girl, M’DELA would roam around her living room in Lima, Peru, holding her plastic recorder as a microphone and singing along to the songs of ABBA, Olivia Newton-John, and The Cure. Who knew that her ‘kid’ performances would evolve into a long music career?
Always rooted in the music, she fell in love with the dance music of the 80s and 90s and absorbed all the pop and rock influences from Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, Blondie, New Order, Erasure, The Cure, Flock of Seagulls, Eurythmics, B-52’s, Michael Jackson, and Softcell.
“Siempre Te Amare” came to life with her adaptation of the The Cure’s “Love Song” in Spanish, “it really spoke to me…†confessed the singer/songwriter and in her words she said, “it reflects the longing for true love and, at the same time, the promise that love will triumph over evil.â€
The song was produced in Mexico City by the country’s top remixing producer Charly Gutierrez (DJ Carlos G) whose work includes over 400 remixes from top selling artists such as Paulina Rubio. The video was shot in South Beach with the famous Miami skyline in the background. The production is ready for a 2010 fall release.
M’DELA’s venture into the Dance Music world stems from a professional career as an award-winning songwriter and successful performances in Latin America.

Cernuda Arte is pleased to announce the opening of Still Going Strong, a solo exhibition that brings together fifty recent works by renowned contemporary Cuban master, Gina Pellón.
The artist will be traveling from Paris to Miami to attend the evening premiere. This is a welcomed opportunity for visitors to view a great show and meet the artist. The exhibition will be on view through December 15, 2010.
As an endeared, respected and applauded artist in the international milieu, Gina Pellón has enjoyed a successful career and many accolades. Dynamic and luminous, Pellón’s work is based on bold colors, vigorous brushwork and gestural rhythm. And this time around, still fully in command of her talents – and with much to say at 84 years of age – the painter once again delivers a riveting show with superb examples that depict a joy of life.
With paintings like Gold in the Night and Let’s Dance, these renditions – executed with masterly technique – will surely mesmerize.
The exhibition is accompanied by a fully-illustrated 36-page catalog.

Aqua Art Miami Returns To Its Original Roots!
This year the fair returns to the Aqua Hotel in Miami Beach, where it was first launched in 2005.
Aqua Art Miami is pleased to announce its return to the fair’s original location – the Aqua Hotel in the heart of South Beach. During the first week in December, and running simultaneously with Art Basel Miami Beach, this boutique hotel will be transformed into a hub for innovative contemporary art programming, represented by the 43 galleries exhibiting there this year.

Aqua Art Miami is pleased to announce its return to the fair’s original location – the Aqua Hotel in the heart of South Beach. During the frst week in December, and running simultaneously with Art Basel Miami Beach, this boutique hotel will be trans- formed into a hub for innovative contemporary art programming, represented by the 43 galleries exhibiting there this year.
After a break in 2009, during which the fair focused on its Wynwood location, this return to the original hotel venue where the fair frst began in 2005 is welcomed by many. “We are thrilled to be a part of Aqua’s comeback to South Beach, as it’s certainly one of the best hotel fairs in the U.S., if not internationally,†boasts an enthusiastic Kathy Murphy, publisher of Modern Painters magazine, who are sponsoring Aqua’s Preview Opening on the evening of December 1st.
Over the years, Aqua’s organizers Jaq Chartier and Dirk Park have made it their mission to promote progressive galleries with strong emerging artist programs from the West Coast, as well as from the greater United States and abroad. This curatorial commitment is complemented by the unique art fair setting of a classic South Beach hotel with spacious exhibition rooms that open onto a breezy, intimate courtyard. The surroundings have become a favorite gathering spot not only for relaxation during the busy Art Basel week, but also as a place to exchange and disseminate new contemporary art ideas. And with its close proximity to the main Art Basel fair, Aqua Art Miami has consistently been ranked among the top satellite art events by collectors, artists, curators, critics and the art loving public alike.
Throughout its tenure, a number of new galleries have made their Miami art fair debuts at Aqua. This year is no exception with Walker Contemporary from Boston and Nudashank from Baltimore, among the newcomers. The fair is also thrilled to welcome back many of its veterans, including Seattle’s Platform Gallery, Gregory Lind Gallery & Eleanor Harwood Gallery from San Francisco, PDX from Portland, and Philip Slein Gallery from St. Louis. Local Miami art dealers are represented by Harold Golen and Cancio Contemporary, while our Canadian neighbors to the north have dispatched Birch Libralato and Katharine Mulherin Contemporary of Toronto, as well as Montreal’s Pierre-François Ouellette Art Contemporain.
The fair’s organizers are quite optimistic that with this year’s “return to form†and with the recent upswing of the art market, this will be one of the most successful incarnations of Aqua Art Miami during their six-year history of producing the event. Plus it’s great to be “back to the beachâ€.
University Of Miami Presents Mechanomorphic Opening Reception 12/4/10
University Of Miami Presents Mechanomorphic The Environmentally Minded Man/Machine
Opening Reception Saturday December 4, 2010 6pm to 10pm
Wynwood Project Space
2200-A NW 2nd Avenue, Miami
In honor of Art Basel Miami Beach, the UM Department of Art and Art History, part of the College of Arts and Sciences, will present Mechanomorphic: The Environmentally minded man\machine. The 21st century has seen altered sites, contested spaces, and an ever-increasing mindfulness toward environmentalism. Artists working in our contemporary moment may consequently question the role—if any—that man/machine plays in this equation. Mechanomorphia, or the concept of the machine changing into something else over time, questions man’s relationship to the machine and to nature. Artists working around this theme may consider how the machine’s relationship to the environment has changed in our contemporary context, question whether or not man has metaphorically become a machine, or alternatively explore the role that man/machine plays in our current “Green Age.†Mechanomorphic works of art consider the notion that the machine has aided man in undermining our (lived) environment and the spread of urbanization, and yet, man must now turn to the machine in order to re/solve these issues.
Mechanomorphic will be held at the Wynwood Project Space in conjunction with Art Basel Miami Beach 2010. This exhibition will run from November 29 to December 27, 2010. Opening Receptions will be held on Saturday December 4, 2010 6pm to 10pm during Art Basel/Miami Beach week and again on December 11, 2010 – 6pm to 10pm.
Regular gallery hours are every second Saturday 6pm to 10pm and by appointment. A full schedule of exhibitions can be viewed at www.as.miami.edu/art. Visit the University of Miami Wynwood Project Space every second Saturday at 2200-A NW 2nd Avenue, Miami during the monthly gallery walk to view student, faculty and alumni works.
For more information about the exhibition or Wynwood Project Space, call (305) 284-2543 or email m.cardoso1@miami.edu.
The University of Miami’s mission is to educate and nurture students, to create knowledge, and to provide service to our community and beyond. Committed to excellence and proud of our diversity of our University family, we strive to develop future leaders of our nation and the world. www.miami.edu.

Cocowalk Celebrates 20 Years, Coconut Grove
Saturday November 20, 2010, 10AM
CocoWalk Holiday Preview Fashion Show, 8PM.
Twenty Years ago this November, CocoWalk opened to the public for the very first time. Originally developed by Constructa US, Inc & Steiner & Associates, Inc. CocoWalk has passed through 3 owners and seen many changes. When CocoWalk opened in November, 1990, AMC Cocowalk 16 Theaters was the center’s first and only anchor. Phase II of the center was completed in 1994, adding eight more screens and totaling the cinema’s composition to sixteen. In 2002, Phase III was completed, a four story office building. The entire first and most of the second floor allowed for the expansion of Gap.
In 2007, CocoWalk was purchased by PMAT, the current owner of the property. PMAT invested over $10 Million in renovations and upgrades and celebrated with a Grand Reopening in April 2007. Recently, the movie theater has undergone renovations, and reopened as Paragon Grove 13, on June 4, 2010, the first all hi-def luxery theater in South Florida. Other recent additions include Chili’s, Crazy Pianos, Bobby Chan and RodezArt.com Gallery. Opening soon are Central Beer Garden, Sushi Central and CocoWok.
To celebrate the 20 year anniversary, CocoWalk will host an all-day celebration on Saturday November 20, 2010. Live entertainment and activities begin at 10AM and continue into the evening, closing with the CocoWalk Holiday Preview Fashion Show in the courtyard at 8PM.

Lileth’s Couture Collection Showcase at the Environ Cultural Center 11/6/10
Lileth’s Couture Collection Feature To be Held on Saturday, November 6, 2010, at the Environ Cultural Center in Lauderhill at 7pm.
3800 Environ Blvd, Lauderhill Fl, 33319
The Lauderhill Regional Chamber of Commerce will host an evening of elegance and glamour as they unveil the “Lileth’s Couture Collection†on Saturday, November 6, 2010, at 7pm. The event will be held at the Environ Cultural Center at 3800 Environ Blvd, Lauderhill Fl, 33319. Twenty-five percent of the proceeds will go to the American Cancer Society. With the daring and unique designs of the collection, this show promises to be unpredictable and enticing to the discerning eye of the fashion-forward residents of South Florida.
While some people at the young age of 71 are retiring, designer, Lileth Hogarth is jump-starting her fashion career to the next level. A designer all of her life, this vibrant and passionate woman fashionista has an innate eye for avant-garde fashion. Spend just a few moments with her as she works on her creations and she will have you believing you are in the dreamy city of Paris. Her impressive collection is technically solid, and is a potent mixture of style, couture and avant-garde glamour. Although her signature use of fabrics and colors takes many risks, her designs have become a consistent fashion favorite in the celebrity world of the elite trendsetters.
“Lileth Couture is bold, feminine and highly romantic.The line speaks to a strong, confident and modern woman who is not afraid to show her vunerability and her feminity. Women always like to be dressed in designer clothes and are always looking for exclusive designer clothing for themselves. A woman feels more confident if she is dressed in an extraordinary outfit which makes her look different from the crowd. I believe that our collection offers our clients just that, states Lileth Hogarth.
Hogarth’s use of hard fabrics twinned with soft and whimsical fabrics, is not unique in fashion but the effect is totally hers. Dramatic. She has mastered the art of separates and her clothes can be taken apart in pieces and reassembled to form a completely different look. Hogarth is poised to be a mainstay in the fashion industry.
For ticket information please call Lauderhill Chamber of Commerce at 954.318.6118 or 954.608.9200.

Art Basel Miami 2010: Anya Ponorovskaya brings downtown New York to Miami’s Design District during Art Basel week. Her salon offers a gritty mix of high and low, martinis and hotdogs as well as established and emerging artists. “It’s a spot to socialize and celebrate the essence of New York – the meeting between people†says Ms Ponorovskaya.
Her eponymous line of reversible silk dresses, cinched-waist coats, handbags and shoes are designed and produced in Manhattan where Ponorovskaya is based and has two boutiques “Art Basel week is our one-year anniversary in Miami’s Design District and I wanted to do something special to celebrate that†Ponorovskaya says. Downtown Salon is showcasing a radiant selection of contemporary New York City artists:
Richard Alvarez artworks are a celebration of women. Using pigment and glitter on glass, he produces sensualized busts of women with religious undertones. This image borrows from both high and low, looking as much like a scene from “American Beauty†as a depiction of St. Elizabeth of Hungary.
Barrie Cline’s body of silver work sculptures conjures up a cross between the film Metropolis and nature taking over – visceral, ceramic vessels, pushing their functionality and equilibrium to the limit and maintaining an interesting tension between the divisions of craft and art.
Downtown Salon also features:

Go Red for Women 2010 Red Dress Fashion Show by Betty Alvarez
It was a spectacular night where art, fashion and a wonderful cause collided and brought you the Go Red For Women 2010 Red Dress Fashion Show in Miami Beach. The art was the Bass Museum where the show was held, while the Fashion was by Perry Ellis International and the cause was the American Heart Association’s Go Red For Women movement.
The evening started out with a fun Pre-Show Reception as the models got ready in some of Perry Ellis International’s beautiful lines of clothing. The Fashion Show was up next as the models strutted their stuff down the runway. Heart survivors were among some of the lovely models taking the cat walk that night. This was an evening to remember in the fight against heart disease! After the show was a Post-Party by PRIMP Hair Salon, one of the Fashion Show’s sponsors.
The cornerstone of the Miami Go Red movement, the Go Red For Women 2010 Red Dress Fashion Show is held during Miami’s Fall Fashion Week. The Miami Red Dress Fashion Show unites supporters of art, fashion, and health to bring critical attention to Heart Disease & Women. Symbolizing women’s fight against heart disease, the Red Dress is the icon of this international show.
In February 2004, American Heart Month, the American Heart Association (AHA) launched the Go Red for Women campaign as a critical step toward raising women’s awareness that heart disease is the number one cause of death for Women.
Through this campaign, we will empower women with the knowledge and tools they need to make positive lifestyle changes that will help reduce their risk of heart disease. Nationally, the color of Red will be promoted as the symbol for heart disease and to further establish the AHA as the leading authority on the subject.

Miami International Wine Fairs serves great wines and much more By Betty Alvarez
The 9th annual Miami International Wine Fair (“MIWFâ€) presented its largest program to date with more than 1,800 wines from 18 countries and 70,000 exhibitor square-feet featuring the world’s top-rated wines. Organizers extended the traditional two-day event into a comprehensive four-day trade, education and grand tasting program. The first day, October 14, 2010, offered exclusive trade seminars catering to the exhibitors, while tastings and seminars were open to the public on October 15 and 16 at the Miami Beach Convention Center. On Sunday, October 17, closing festivities took place off-site with the hugely successful inaugural “Ceviche Throwdown,†a charity event produced in partnership with SUGARCANE raw bar grill and South Florida Foodies.
“We are very excited about the result of this year’s Wine Fair,†said David Bernad, MIWF founder and president. “Not only does the economy seem to be on a path to recovery, but we are seeing more foreign producers than ever determined to invest in the United States wine market. With wine consumption lagging in Europe and across the world, wineries are flocking to our Fair to establish new distribution channels while solidifying their existing relationships.â€
2010 Fair highlights include:
• Castilla La Mancha announced wine sales upward of 50,000 cases to California and Texas retail chains
• Eighteen percent more wines were available for tasting at this year’s Fair
• Seven percent increase in ticket sales, which led to a total attendance of more than 6,800 visitors
• Newcomer, Wines of Chile, stood-out with their presentation of exceptional wineries by wearing yellow mining helmets on Saturday, October 16, as a tribute to the 33 miners rescued from the San Jose Mine just three days prior
• Sold-out seminars, including “Sushi & Sake†by SUSHISAMBA and “How To Taste Wine – Objectively!â€
Further, Castilla La Mancha held a reception at the Fontainebleau on Friday, October 15 to unveil its newest collection of wines. In attendance was José Luis MartÃnez Guijarro, President of Fundación Tierra de Viñedos and Regional Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development for Spain’s Castilla La Mancha; City of Miami Mayor Tomas Regalado; Commissioner Deedee Weithorn; Chief of Staff Michael Llorente; and master of ceremonies Jorge Estevez of CBS television, who joined local community and business leaders, food and wine enthusiasts, and VIP guests.
Wine buyers raved about the unique experience and diverse selection of wines the Fair had to offer:
• “One of the few wine industry shows that affords the opportunity to meet with numerous owners and representatives of wines that are not currently imported in the United States market.†– Eric Blanz, Liberty Wine Selections, New York
• “The only wine fair in the United States that truly has a diverse range of splendid wines representing countries from all over the world.” – Matt Reibel, Wine Gallery, Massachusetts
• “Outstanding quality and diversified wines abound.” – Alan Sazant, Cellar Masters of South Florida, Florida
• “The quality of wine and opportunity to work with new suppliers to the US market, make this a ‘can’t miss’ event.†– Douglas Due, Grocery Outlet, California
Parallel to its public appeal, MIWF offered Latin American and European wine producers a platform to forge valuable trade relationships. As a result of the 2010 agenda, more than 1,900 meetings were secured between wine buyers and exhibitors. On the heels of last year’s success, an expanded wine buyer program; an industry-only tasting and targeted wine dinners were major components of the Fair. Organizers wrapped-up the ninth edition successfully, exceeding last year’s achievements and visitor expectations.
About Miami International Wine Fair
The Miami International Wine Fair is owned and managed by VINTRADE LLC, a South Florida- based corporation established by David Bernad and Madrid-based Emporio Ferial S.A., an international event planning and production company that organizes dozens of annual wine shows, including Iberwine.

The book functions as an informative reference volume as well as a work of art, with photography and painted illustrations bringing to life the unique and diverse plants and animals of the Exuma Cays.
The culmination of a three-year effort, Islands of the Sun offers a collection of vivid photographs that depict a range of life from orchids and rock iguanas to sea slugs and reef sharks. In all, a total of 298 species of local flora and fauna are featured. Accompanying provides information about the varying species, including their historical and cultural value as food or medicine. Every chapter opens with an original two-page landscape painting of the selected habitat and its denizens. Additionally, “special focus†sections highlight plants or animals of particular interest within each habitat.
Islands of the Sun, which is dedicated to Sergio and Jacqueline Kriz Danguillecourt in celebration of the deep love they shared for the Exuma Cays, is an unprecedented fusion of science and art that is guaranteed to fascinate and educate. All proceeds from book sales support the environmental education activities of the Bahamas Marine EcoCentre, including Young Bahamian Marine Scientists after-school clubs and summer camps.

The band, who for the majority of the late 80s and early 90s was considered one of the best acts in Florida was made up of Rene Alvarez on vocals, Derek Murphy on drums, Rafael Tarragó on guitars and José Tillán on bass. Their heavy rock sounds were accompanied by introspective lyrics and emotional performances.
During the band’s 13 year career they independently released three recordings: ‘Water and Walls’ (with then guitar player Michael Lashinsky), the acoustic ‘The Subtleties of Anger’ and their full-length release ‘Stones for Steven.’ Their last effort ‘wake ‘ was recorded but never released due to their disbandment. The band, who opened for headlining acts such as Stone Temple Pilots, Candlebox and Gin Blossoms and shared the stage with other local favorites like Marilyn Mason, The Mavericks and Nuclear Valdez were a top draw in Miami and popular throughout Florida, as well as toured the East coast.

Annette Recommends Havana Harvest by Robert Landori
Just read Havana Harvest
From the Publisher:
Though the book is fiction, it reveals the inside politics within the government and the police agencies in Cuba. I believe the book has a strong sense of the typical Cuban’s philosophy enshrined throughout its pages, personified in the character of General Casas.
Based partly on a true story, Havana Harvest follows the maneuverings of two adversarial intelligence services as they attempt to inflict maximum damage on each other through a series of high-tension suspense. In Cuba, General Patricio Casas must decide whether to support the revolution he has fought endlessly for, or do what is good for his people by challenging the selfish authoritarianism of the Castroite regime. Meanwhile, CIA operative Robert Lonsdale is tasked with determining why a captain in Fidel’s army seeks U.S. protection from a Colombian drug cartel and the Cuban secret police. Lonsdale is quickly drawn into a disarray of intrigue and murder, with General Casas’ help as his only chance for survival.During his professional life, author Robert Landori traveled South American and the Caribbean where he encountered many international financiers and notorious con men. Landori was able to develop a highly charged and double-edged relationship with Catro’s Cuba, and was held in solitary confinement for false accusations of espionage. After he was freed, Landori used his experience to create fictional tales of international espionage.

Kelley Roy Gallery Dolly Moreno Exhibit Opening 11/11,13/10
Dolly Moreno, first prize winner at the Carrousel du Louvre-Paris, presents an incredible solo-exhibition: Dynamic Instability – stainless steel and multicolored sculptures
November 11, 6 – 9pm
Kelley Roy Gallery
50 NE 29th Street
Wynwood Arts District. Miami, FL, 33137
305-447-3888 or kelleyroygallery.com
Second Saturday Gallery Walk, November 13th
Kelley Roy Gallery is honored to present a solo exhibition by sculptor Dolly Moreno, first prize winner at the 2006 Paris Louvre’s Société Nationale des Beaux Arts exhibition. Her car-sized sculpture, “Point of Rupture†was on display at the Louvre’s Pei designed pyramid entrance. While Dolly has been recognized for her monumental works in prominent museums and galleries throughout seven different countries, she has been absent from the American art scene for a number of years. Kelley Roy is delighted to present her return featuring over 18 new pieces comparable in concept, if not size, to “Point of Rupture.â€
Moreno introduces colors over stainless steel, presenting clean volumes and geometric poetry. The starkness of the stainless steel is overwhelmed by the brightness of her multicolors. Moreno’s pieces may seem on the verge of breaking, yet these large, strong and impervious structures will outlive us all. Sleek, and possibly unlike any other recognizable work, Moreno’s sculptures invite participation. “ Please touch, feel and touch again. An artist’s basic desire is to communicate. Through my participation sculptures I propose that the sculpture, the spectator and I come together, even if for a few moments. It is a circle, which completes itself. These few minutes of interaction are repeatedly mine,†she says.
The Moreno solo exhibition will be on display from November 11th through November 30th, with an opening preview on November 11th from 6-9p.m. and an opening exhibition during Second Saturday Gallery Walk, November 13th. Following the solo show, her works will remain on display through January 30th along with other prominent sculptors and painters.
The Moreno solo exhibition will be on display from November 11th through November 30th, with an opening preview on November 11th from 6-9p.m. and an opening exhibition during Second Saturday Gallery Walk, November 13th. Following the solo show, her works will remain on display through January 30th along with other prominent sculptors and painters. Moreno’s works will also be featured by the Kelley Roy Gallery in two other exhibits: at the Miami International Art Fair, January 14th through 17th, Booth 215 in the Miami Beach Convention Center; and at Art Palm Beach, January 20th through 24th, Booth 615 in the Palm Beach Convention Center.
Moreno began her career with techniques predominantly used by men and applied on one of the hardest materials to weld–stainless steel. To construct her work, she uses machines more frequently found in automobile factories. She cuts with a guillotine and welds at dangerously high temperatures. Moreno says, “It’s always a duel between the stainless steel and me. Sometimes the steel wins, sometimes I do. And when I do, a sculpture begins to take form.â€
Moreno has had a wide range of prominent exhibitions throughout her career including The Museum of Modern Art, São Paulo; the Maracana Exposition, Rio de Janeiro; Ridies Gallery, Dusseldorf; Galeria Jean Claude Bellier, Paris; and the 2005 Florence Art Biennale at which she won third prize; as well as exhibitions in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and Tokyo.
Born in Egypt, she moved to Europe, then the United States. Then, with their three daughters, Dolly and her husband moved to São Paulo, Brazil where she currently resides and has her studio.

Nicholas Arehart : Opening Reception : October 28th 7pm
October 28th, 2010, 7pm
Christopher Miro Gallery
71 East Flagler Street
Miami, FL
305.741.0058
7pm – 11pm
More Info.
The Christopher Miro Gallery proudly presents Improving Everyday Life for the Majority, a showcase of sculpture and video work by Nicholas Arehart. Opening Thursday, October 28th, 2010 at 7pm, this show marks the first solo exhibition at the gallery.
Named after IKEA’s motto, Improving Everyday Life for the Majority, the exhibition reveals minimally colored, reductive sculptures created from furniture parts available at the Swedish superstore. In creating unique objects of value from these generic and widely accessible items, Arehart seeks to reverse the loss of the artisan brought on by the Industrial Revolution. Additionally, he challenges the role of consumerism as identity by beginning these works as a consumer and ending the process as an artist.
In addition to his IKEA objects, two videos will be on display. In An Illegally Downloaded Film, Arehart further explores manipulation of the mass produced by altering a major motion picture. Alternately, Autonomy extends his investigation into the transformation of the everyday.

Wynwood Arts District. Miami, FL, 33127

In suit with the caliber of international art that will be on exhibition during Art Basel, gallerist Oscar Ascanio has culled together an incredible selection of masterworks; all of great importance and symbolic of universal art. Entitled The Visionary Eye, the collective exhibition is made up of 20 masterpieces by Jesus Soto, Carlos Cruz Diez, Alejandro Otero, Victor Lucena, Francisco Salazar, Carlos Cabeza, Victor Vasarely and Bernar Venet.
Ascanio named the exhibit The Visionary Eye to pay homage to Alfredo Boulton, an iconic figure in Venezuela and worldwide, who was an art critic, cultural historian and prominent photographer. Boulton was a mentor and friend to all of these artists, sharing important moments in time with each of them, while catapulting Venezuela into the international art scene.
Featuring works of free abstraction, op-art and kinetic art, the collective showcases a body of work from eight renowned artists. The artists — Jesus Soto, Carlos Cruz Diez, Alejandro Otero, Victor Lucena, Francisco Salazar, Carlos Cabeza, Victor Vasarely and Bernar Venet — have been exhibited in some of the most important museums including the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, the Museum of Modern Art in Paris, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, The Center for the Fine Arts in Miami, El Palacio de Velazquez in Madrid and Tokyo’s Contemporary Sculpture Center.
Polar Beer and VeeV Acai Spirit will sponsor the opening reception. Additionally, a percentage of the proceeds generated from the sales of this collective exhibition will benefit ECOMB.

Femmes Art Exhibit at Nomade Gallery 11/6/10
Nomade Gallery Flirts with the Eternally Feminine
Femmes: an Art Exhibit
South 27 Lofts Launch Party
Saturday November 6, 2010. 7 – 10p
Nomade Gallery, 3133 Commodore Plaza, Coconut Grove, FL 33133
South 27 Lofts, 3001 SW 27 Ave, Coconut Grove, FL 33133
Wine & Hors D’oeuvres from George’s in the Grove
Nomade Gallery will be full to the brim with art by and about women during the month of November; women portrayed on canvases, photographs, women made of bronze, all created by the deft brushstrokes, portraits and chisels of artists who have put form to arguably the hardest of all beauties to capture. Nomade flirts with the eternally feminine and in the process opens discourse of gender identity, its social and political deï¬nitions, and reaches beyond them to present an exhibit that puts a face to what it means to be a woman. The artists explore classical beauties from pop-culture past and portraits drawn from the media age that deï¬ne femininity today.
At the same time, “Femmes†aims to deconstruct the image of what it means to be a woman, unravelling the ironic standards and tight conventions by which women are portrayed. Each artist has developed their own images that postulate new forms of female representation, producing works which are at times tantalizing, at others subtle and compelling.
The “Femmes†exhibition features contemporary artists such as Miami’s German grinning photographer and artist Tomas Loewy, and photographers Katya Kova, Dominican born Aida Tejada, and Marcus Loerbroks; painters Yashmin Campagne from Trinidad, Carol Adrianza from Venezuela, and Magalie Dos Santos from France; and French sculptors Catherine Bon and Pierre Traversat.
Nomade Gallery has also lent a few of its artists to the South 27 Loft’s grand opening the same evening. South 27 Loft’s launch party will take place Saturday November 6, from 7-10 pm at 3001 SW 27 Ave, Coconut Grove. The photographs of Aida Tejada and sculptures of Pierre Traversat will adorn the lofts during this evening of art, hors d’oeuvres and architecture. The lofts will be available to preview and is open to the public.
Nomade Gallery is one of 10 galleries that participate in Coconut Grove’s Art Walk that takes place the ï¬rst Saturday of each month. Nomade Gallery is Coconut Grove’s newest gallery on the block which was opened by esteemed French art enthusiast Brigitte Serfaty this past February. Miami’s original art’s community comes together during this weekend to enjoy art, music and entertainment.
ARTISTS: 1) Carol Adrianza, Yashmin Campagne, Magalie Dos Santo, Katya Kova, Marcus Loerbroks, Tomas Loewy, Aida Tejada, Pierre Traversat
2) Aida Tejada, Pierre Traversat and guest sculptor Zammy Migdal

A little bit about Zaida and the drifters:
The new acoustic trio known as “Zaida & the Drifters†consists of masculine and feminine musicality coming together as one. The magic happened when Tony Cruz, an active musician in the South Florida music scene, and David Denmark, a drummer aficionado (aka The Drifters) discovered the local singer Zaida – a Miami native who had learned to play piano from her mother by age twelve and had released her first album ‘Train Ride’ in 2000. Together and with a new collection of original songs and a growing repertoire of eclectic material, The Drifters and The Songstress make every performance an intimate experience. Each song tells a story and each lyric absorbed. If music is a window to the soul then Zaida and The Drifters are inviting us to peek in to theirs….

Icons and Legends at Nikki Beach Miami for Art Basel 2010 12/2-4/10
Icons and Legends
Nikki Beach welcomes ‘ICONS & LEGENDS’, an exhibit by world renowned pop artist Steve Kaufman during Art Basel 2010
December 2 to 4, 2010
6PM-9PM
Nikki Beach Miami • One Ocean Drive Miami, Florida 33139
The cost is $20 per person and includes complimentary cocktails and hors d’oeuvres. Exhibit runs December 2nd – 4th from 5-8pm
Global luxury lifestyle entertainment group Nikki Beach is thrilled to announce that the iconic talents of legendary pop artist, Steve Kaufman, former assistant to Andy Warhol, will be shown from December 2 to 4, 2010 at Nikki Beach Miami during the international art festival, Art Basel. A much heralded event, with over 100 unique and timeless pop art pieces will be on display in Club 01, the sultry nightclub located upstairs from the beach club.
Kaufman, a truly inspired and gifted artist, not only committed his life to his craft, he was also a dedicated philanthropist, involved in over 175 charities bringing awareness to such issues as racial harmony, AIDS and homelessness. Working briefly as Andy Warhol’s assistant and ultimately completing unfinished portraits for Warhol’s clients, Kaufman moved on to became a world-renowned artist in his own right, creating portraits of Frank Sinatra, Muhammad Ali, John Travolta, Marilyn Monroe and many others. His too-soon passing in early February 2010 was a devastating blow to the international art world. “Guests attending this event will have the chance to purchase his truly unique, original and one of a kind artâ€, said Chris Raphael, a close friend of Kaufman when he was alive. Nikki Beach Miami is truly honored to host the works of this great artist during Art Basel 2010. This is an event that is not to be missed. The cost is $20 per person and includes complimentary cocktails and hors d’oeuvres. Exhibit runs December 2nd – 4th from 5-8pm. Event information http://www.nikkibeach.com/miami/events.php.
In 1998, Nikki Beach introduced the world to the ultimate beach club concept bringing dining, fashion, art, music and entertainment together. As quoted by the London Observer as “The Sexiest Place on Earthâ€, over a decade later, Nikki Beach continues to make its mark in the world’s hottest addresses and trendsetting locales, recently claiming the #1 spot in Travel Channel’s World’s Sexiest Beach Bars. The Nikki Beach concept has transcended its international venues and grown into a global lifestyle company with a seasonal clothing line; a sun care and fragrance line; Marketing and Public Relations Divisions; Global Sponsorships and Special Events; Nikki Beach Music; Nikki Beach Beauty; a VIP and Concierge program; and a Hotel and Resorts Division with 10 new locations to open starting in 2012. The Nikki Beach lifestyle can now be experienced in twelve cities, in eight different countries with more locations to come in the near future: Miami Beach, Florida, USA; St.Tropez, France; Cannes, France; St. Barth, French West Indies; Marbella, Spain; Cabo San Lucas, Mexico; New York City, New York, USA; Marrakech, Morocco; Koh Samui, Thailand; Cabarete, Dominican Republic; Toronto, Canada; and soon Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.

MOC Holiday Boat Parade
Saturday, December 18 at 7:00pm
down the waterways of Miami and Biscayne Bay. Viewing site at Bayside
The Holiday Boat Parade presented by the Miami Outboard Club, is an integral part of the City of Miami’s Holiday Magic celebrations, which each year brings residents together to benefit the children of Centro Mater Child Care Services, a non-profit organization.
The first annual Holiday Boat Parade was organized by the Miami Outboard Club in 1998 in an effort to attract residents and tourists to Biscayne Bay, Downtown Miami and surrounding areas during the holiday season. Nearly two dozen enthusiastic boat captains joined in the fun, decorating their boats and parading in the Bay waters adjacent to the Club. Over the past 12 winter seasons, the Holiday Boat Parade has grown in size and scope, attracting club members and non-members alike. Over the past few years the event, has featured more than 70 boats, and nearly 100 are expected this year.
This year’s parade route offers numerous locations from which locals and tourists alike can enjoy the marvel. Beginning at the Miami Outboard Club, the parade heads towards Miami Beach, passing Monument Island and crossing beneath the Macarthur Causeway between Monty’s South Beach and the U.S. Coast Guard Station. The parade route continues along Government Cut towards Downtown Miami, passing the Miami Children Museum, Bayside and Bay front Park. The parade route will turn around at Brickell Key, once again passing Bayfront Park, Bayside, and then American Airlines Arena. As the parade makes its way back to the Miami Outboard Club, boats motor beneath the McArthur Causeway Bridge and then pass Jungle Island and Miami Yacht Club.
The fun doesn’t end at the Parade’s finish line, Immediately following the parade, Miami Outboard Club will host a Dance Party for parade participants, their families, guests. During the post-parade party, prizes are awarded for best-decorated boats in a variety of categories.
The Annual Holiday Boat Parade is made possible through the ongoing cooperation of the U.S. Coast Guard, Coast Guard Auxiliary, Miami-Dade Marine Patrol, The City of Miami Police Department, The City of Miami Beach Police Department, and the generous support of individual and corporate sponsors. With increased participation and support from Miami’s business community, the Miami Outboard Club hopes to make the Holiday Boat Parade the largest of its kind in Florida.

On Saturday, November 6, 2010, the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Southern Florida and InterContinental Miami will celebrate the 16th Annual InterContinental Miami Make-A-Wish Ball with an Asian-inspired, Zen-like theme. With world-recognized host Paula Abdul as the emcee of the much-buzzed-about live auction, an energetic live performance by Tony Award-winning musical Jersey Boys and the third anniversary of the Ball’s InterContinental Miami Make-A-Wish Nightclub, the evening will undoubtedly capture the “Art of the Wish.â€
“This year’s Ball is destined to be the most memorable yet,†said Norman Wedderburn, President and CEO of the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Southern Florida. “We have a very special and impactful line-up of events planned this year that, when coupled with the impressive list of participants and supporters – most notably, Paula Abdul – will make for an unforgettable evening and the perfect celebration following a record-breaking year of wish granting.â€
The Ball’s “Three Amigos†– President/CEO of Make-A-Wish Foundation of Southern Florida, Norm Wedderburn; Ball Chairman Shareef Malnik, proprietor of The Forge | Restaurant and Wine Bar; and, InterContinental Miami’s General Manager Robert Hill – have together made the Ball a reality. Hill stated, “It is an honor to again join forces with these two outstanding gentlemen for a cause that has become near and dear to my heart and all of us here at the InterContinental Miami. With their contagious energy, unwavering support of South Florida’s kind-hearted philanthropists and the plentitude of enticing auction items, I have no doubt we will exceed our expectations yet again this year. Other notable contributors include Lifetime Benefactors Al and Nancy Malnik; Grand Benefactors Stanley and Gala Cohen; Founding Benefactors Howard and Barbara Glicken; and Wish Star Benefactor James L. Ferraro, as well as Wish Benefactors Harvey and Roberta Chaplin, Stuart A. Miller of Lennar Corporation and Robert Press of Trafalgar Capital Advisors.
Upon arrival, guests will immediately experience the excitement of this year’s Ball as they transcend into an Asian realm reminiscent of their great cultures. Produced by Javier Velarde of Triton Productions, the hotel’s mezzanine will be transformed by Geishas, Samurai swordsmen, ribbon dancers, a gigantic Orange Blossom tree and other Asian visions that will be brought to life by the palpable energy of live Taiko drummers.
During the cocktail reception, guests will enjoy hors d’oeuvres and cocktail stations while having the opportunity to bid on more than 130 premier items donated by top hospitality, entertainment, fashion and luxury brands
Highlights include a guitar autographed by John Mayer; children’s Mercedes-Benz ride-on SUV; luxury goods by Betsey Johnson, Valentino, Burberry, Diane Von Furstenberg, Longchamp USA, Judith Ripka and more; and hospitality packages that range from local Miami stay-cations to destination packages such as a week-long luxury stay in the Grand Cayman Islands, and a number of worldwide travel experiences courtesy of the InterContinental Hotels and Resorts: InterContinental Athens, InterContinental Boston, InterContinental Carlton Cannes, InterContinental Chicago, InterContinental Le Grand Paris, InterContinental Madrid, InterContinental Melbourne The Rialto, InterContinental, InterContinental Monte Lucia, InterContinental New Orleans, InterContinental The Barclay New York, InterContinental Rio de Janeiro, InterContinental Toronto Yorkville and InterContinental Willard Washington DC, among others.
Following the reception, resident Ball and Miami Heat celebrity beat-master DJ Irie will lead guests into the main ballroom with lively music along with the aroma of Chef Feher’s decadent dinner. After the 4 course meal, the Ball’s famous action-packed live auction will ensue and will be emceed by none other than Paula Abdul, host of some of the world’s most notable television and award shows, who recently announced her venture as creative partner, executive producer and lead expert on a panel of judges for CBS’s new show Live To Dance.
Up for bid will be a 2011 Ferraro 458 Italia donated by Ken Gorin of The Collection; a walk-on role for the film Tower Heist starring Ben Stiller, donated by director Brett Ratner; another walk-on roll for the USA Network’s hit show Burn Notice, filmed on-site in Miami; a $30,000 gift certificate for Rene Ruiz Couture provided by the designer himself; the ultimate Los Angeles Jet-Setting weekend getaway courtesy of Jason Binn and Niche Media; a luxurious Judith Ripka-inspired New York City experience complete with a $5,000 shopping piece from the designer’s collection; and an all-expenses-paid getaway to chic hotspot St. Barth’s, as well as a spectacular tour of the Orient with accommodations courtesy of InterContinental Hotels.
After the auction, guests will be entertained with a live grand finale performance by Tony Award-winning music production Jersey Boys, a story-like show based on the lives of famed 1960s rock-‘n’-roll group, The Four Seasons.
For the third year in a row, the InterContinental Miami Make-A-Wish Nightclub “Enter the Dragon†will celebrate and support the Ball’s endeavors as well as introduce the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Southern Florida to the next generation of contributors. “The InterContinental Miami Make-A-Wish Nightclub has been instrumental in raising awareness of the Ball and its mission to an entirely new group — a generation we hope will one day be our new lifetime benefactors and ultimately continue the power of the wish,” said Gala Chairman Malnik.

LOGO Projects presents Christine Lyall 11/1/10-2/12/11
LOGO Projects presents Christine Lyall
11/1/2010-2/12/2011, M-F: 10am-5pm and by appointment
LOGO Projects at Ocean Ophthalmology Group
1400 NE Miami Gardens Drive, Suite 203
North Miami Beach, FL 33179
LOGO Projects in conjunction with Ocean Ophthalmology Group is pleased to present new works by artist Christine Lyall alongside an extension of Absolute Adriano, a survey featuring over 30 paintings and drawings by Adriano Nicot. Both collections will be on view from November 1st, 2010 through February 12th, 2011. Patients and the public alike are encouraged to visit Ocean Ophthalmology and peruse both showcases – LOGO Projects is an experiment in converting traditional professional business offices into alternative gallery spaces.
Christine Lyall’s formal artistic practice began after being diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder. She found that creating art—especially complex, repetitive patterns and designs—helped to clear the cobwebs in her brain and calm her mind. Says Lyall, “The obsessive thoughts and nervous energy are still there, but I try to channel both into something productive and beautiful…I think everyone occasionally experiences feelings of fear, emotional conflict and self-doubt—especially when our dreams and our realities collide and we realize how different they are.”
Lyall often explores these episodes of conflict in her work, representing them with imagery such as ropes snaking through holes dotting a canvas, or with fragments of faded material snagged on a piece of rusty barbed wire. Using everything from conventional painting and drawing materials to matches, fabric remnants and beads, Lyall creates works that range in style and complexity from simple line drawings to multi-layered, three-dimensional structures.
Although her artwork is inherently personal, Lyall’s message is ultimately universal and simple: While the human experience is complex, confusing and sometimes painful, it also is beautiful and worth examining.
Adriano Nicot’s Absolute Adriano highlights pieces in which the artist explores the mystical underpinnings of the daily. In Nicot’s hands chickens, chairs, and babies alike are all imbued with a heavy yet inexplicable symbolism. A couple matter-of-factly holds hands under a hovering fish and clowns (or are these ladies of high fashion?) hollowly meet the viewer’s gaze, daring us to laugh (or to not laugh?). The artist’s austere marks are often strongly reminiscent of prehistoric cave paintings, his smoky compositions are always both timeless and reverent. Nicot’s work is catalogued online: http://www.picturetrail.com/nicot
LOGO Projects is a non-profit program dedicated to matching artists and curators with professional business spaces. The program was founded by Kharis Kennedy, a New York-based artist, and Dr. Kevin Stewart. Dr. Stewart, a fellowship-trained glaucoma specialist from New York, relocated to Miami in 2008 to open Ocean Ophthalmology Group with Jesse Pelletier, MD, a cornea & refractive surgery specialist from Bascom Palmer Eye Institute.

November 6 – 30, 2010
Portal fragments in a dimension where time is captured, distorted, venerated, violated and abused by the introduction of chemicals, concepts and theories in poetic movements to the tempo of a thought.
We journey into an ever-changing atmosphere where the eye and the hand integrate with the rhythm of the soul of the artist, orchestrating altered states for the gentle mind to move and ponder.
Please join us to welcome 4 artists: Carlos M. Cardenes, Roberto Catasus, George Rodez and Jose “Tonito†Rodriguez, who dare to cross the boundaries of photography as we know it, weaving and transforming it into spaces unknown or dimensions we perceive in, and opening the door wide open for our imagination to wander.
The exhibition will run through November 30, 2010. Gallery hours are Monday through Thursday, 11 am to 7 pm, and Friday and Saturday, 11 am to 10 pm.

del 6 al 30 de noviembre de 2010
Los fragmentos del pórtico en una dimensión donde el tiempo es captado, es distorsionado, es venerado, es violado y abusado por la introducción de sustancias quÃmicas, conceptos y teorÃas en movimientos poéticos al ritmo de un pensamiento.
Viajamos a través de una atmósfera cambiante en la que los ojos y las manos se suman al ritmo del alma artÃstica creando estados alterados que hacen meditar y reflexionar a la mente del visitante.
Le damos la bienvenida a 4 artistas: Carlos M. Cardenes, Roberto Catasus, George Rodez y José “Tonito†Rodriguez, que osan cruzar las fronteras de fotografÃa como conocemos, tejiendo y transformándolo en espacios desconocidos o en dimensiones que percibimos, y abriendo las puertas de par en par para que nuestra imaginación vaguee.
La muestra abre al público el sábado, 6 de noviembre de 7 a 10 pm en la Galeria RODEZart.com en CocoWalk, como parte de Noche de GalerÃa en Coconut Grove.

The University of Miami women’s soccer is officially deeming its final home game the “MALAIKA Game” honoring its partnership with the MALAIKA FOR LIFE foundation in an effort to raise funds to battle malaria in Africa.
Since the first game of this season, the UM soccer team has partnered with MALAIKA FOR LIFE to create “Scoring Goals to Save Lives”. The initiative has seen the soccer program donate $10 for every goal scored by the Hurricanes. The UM soccer team, lead by Brittney Steinbruch, ACC Freshman of the year, has raised a total of $1,780.
Please come out and show your support! During half-time, Kristen will be called to the center of the field, where she will receive an autographed soccer ball and check for the money raised.
About: MALAIKA FOR LIFE Founded in 2009 by malaria survivor Kristen Kenney and financial advisor Anna Wascher, MALAIKA FOR LIFE (www.MALAIKAFORLIFE.org) is dedicated to saving lives and empowering communities, ONE bracelet at a time. Proceeds from every bracelet purchased provide life-saving medication to a child with malaria. For the widows and HIV-positive women who craft the products, the organization provides a sustainable income that in turn facilitates economic development for their local Tanzanian community. To date, MALAIKA FOR LIFE has supplied 8 clinics and 3 hospitals with the lifesaving medication to save over 8,000 lives! The goal is simple – to continue to save lives and empower communities every day until a larger and more powerful organization can step in and find a vaccine or an alternative method that is immediate, effective, and sustainable

Award-Winning War Photographers Expose Remnants Of War; Kids Give Hope On World Aids Day And For Cancer Survivors
Arts For A Better World (“AFABWâ€) is launching its inaugural edition December 1 to 5, 2010 during Art Basel Miami Beach by taking significant steps away from the typical art fair paradigm. The elegantly designed 40,000-square-foot space will showcase 45 artists with more than 400 works, representing 13 countries. A unique partnership with four keynote charities — Save the Children, Water.org, American Red Cross and American Cancer Society — lends access to artistic presentations, such as drawings by kids undergoing cancer treatment, shown alongside acclaimed professional artists. The egalitarian approach in which the curators designed the show reinforces its collective message, and in addition to receiving proceeds from their artwork sales, partner charities will benefit from 5% of sales generated by the entire venture.

Artist Highlights
Setting the tone for ARTS FOR A BETTER WORLD is the 672-square-foot black-cloaked pavilion situated at the show’s entrance, where environmental activist Joe Zammit-Lucia will share “Expression, Personality, Emotion.†This touring collection of animal photography portraits is presented in collaboration with the International Union for Conservation of Nature (www.icun.org), landing in Miami after its debut at the Palais des Nations – the United Nations’ European headquarters – in Geneva, Switzerland. With powerful photographs of endangered species, the artist investigates issues related to animal individuality and the human-animal rapport.
Hailing from Nigeria via New York, Osi Audu will display “I have a landscape in my head,†a diptych series. With pencil, yarn, wood and plastic toys, his minimalist yet poignant sculptural installations explore myth and science. Audu invites audiences to reflect on the ways in which they identify with his work, and by extension, how and what they interpret as art.
South African mixed media artist Janet Slom joins AFABW with a series of large- and small-scale works born from the rhythms of life and nature. Receiving international recognition with exhibitions at Lincoln Center (NY), Adelson Gallery (NY) and Everard Read Gallery (Cape Town, South Africa), her focus is on the creative process or “reverberations†and energy inspired by the Universe.
Similarly, nationally acclaimed photographer Larry Silver cares more about his process than the subject matter. By manipulating light, chemistry, pigments and stains in the dark room, his imagery alludes to landscape and natural elements. Silver’s departure from the recognizable subjects suggests his will to move people with the dynamics – a feeling – in his pictures.
Brandon Opalka, breakout artist of Miami’s contemporary art scene, joins this initiative in offering a new view of familiar objects. Opalka’s landmark mural in Wynwood depicts a tree on its side, representative of an eco-system in distress. For AFABW, the artist instead takes a bubbling, prophetic approach in painting, and creates an illusion in which the viewer can believe he has seen a new, real place in his series of amoeba-like shapes with vibrant colors on canvas.
The Charities
A crossover initiative that brings together the commercial world of art and the non-profit community, these professional works will be exhibited adjacent to the artistic initiatives of partner charities Save the Children, Water.org, American Red Cross and American Cancer Society.
In commemoration of World Aids Day on December 1, which coincides with AFABW’s opening, Save the Children will present art by youth in Mozambique and around the world. This charity’s Healing and Education through Art (“HEART“) program uses the arts to promote children’s development and well-being, and is targeted at those living in countries and communities affected by conflict, violence, HIV/AIDS and extreme poverty. Further attesting to the therapeutic effects of arts education, American Cancer Society will feature drawings, paintings and sketches created by the young campers of its Reaching Out to Cancer Kids (“R.O.C.K.â€) summer program.
Inspiration eclipses tragedy, as AFABW with American Red Cross bring the International Committee of Red Cross’ (“ICRCâ€) roving exhibit to Miami, making its Florida debut during Art Basel Miami Beach. This series was created in conjunction with VII photo agency to capture the individual stories of loss and suffering in war by award-winning war photographers James Nachtwey, Franco Pagetti, Antonin Kratochvil, Ron Haviv and Christopher Morris. Sending them to eight countries that were either at war or living through its aftermath – Afghanistan, Colombia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Georgia, Lebanon, Liberia, Haiti and the Philippines – their arresting images expose the remnants of armed conflicts and other situations of violence, while touching upon ideals of hope, redemption and progress. Additional information about Water.org’s project to be announced.
Arts For A Better World’s transformational message is akin to why the curators selected art that offers a new lens into understanding contemporary issues and action. Dubbed “the show that wants to change the world†by co-founders Rod and Sandrine Kukurudz and associate curator Ilana Vardy, AFABW will also be offering workshops, interactive projects and a Family Day on Sunday, December 5 to ensure the show is both conceptually and physically accessible to Miami residents and visitors.
Additional participating artists include: Jorge Aramburu; Philippe Arnoux (15000watts); David Benainous; David Benoliel; David Bismuth; Henry Bismuth; Ruddy Candillon; Cartooch (15000watts); Wang Chuan; Bruce Colin; Xavier Cortada; Charlelie Couture; Natasha Duwin; Meme Ferre; Jaime Gil; Laurent Harari; Henri Kalama; Francesca Lalanne; Gizou Lamothe; Lika; Miguel Lombardo (15000watts); Filemon Lopez; Jules Lusson; Francis Mampuya; German Matos; Marcus; Marie-Louise Fouchard; Luisa Mesa; Deborah Mitchell; Venessa Monokian; Noel Morera (15000watts); Hugo Moro; Ross Power; Asser Saint-Val; Luis Salazar; Ellen Sandor (15000watts); Olga Sinclair; Jerome Soimaud; Gerry Stecca and Martha Zuik.
Arts For A Better World was founded in 2009 with the ambitious mission to explore whether art can heal the world. Designed as a thought-provoking, curated experience that features the works of visual artists worldwide, the common thread that unites all participants, partners and sponsors is the shared desire to contribute to a better world for future generations. AFABW is not a charity, and will be donating 5% of total artwork sales to Save the Children, American Red Cross, American Cancer Society and Water.org. Please call 754.423.3226 or visit the website for more information at www.artsforabetterworld.com.
ARTS FOR A BETTER WORLD is made possible thanks to its generous and dedicated sponsors and partners including Comcast; Organic Valley; FPL; PhytoWorld; MGI Digital; Paul Bakery; Petal Productions; Greater Miami & the Beaches Hotel Association; Tam Tams; MadMac.

The world’s most creative filmmaking genre is about to be showcased at The 9th Miami Short Film Festival, Nov 13 th -20 th , 2010.
Miami Short Film Festival was created nine years ago to make a connection between established studios, independent filmmakers and the global creative community, as well as to honor excellence in the art of filmmaking.
A one of a kind selection of short films will reveal the true spirit of this powerful… art form. From original scripts, to different perspectives, to new cinematography and film techniques, each piece is the result of true emotion and expression. Today’s short film cinema is undoubtedly, the nurturing ground of tomorrow’s world-renowned filmmakers.
MSFF’s goal year after year is focused on motivating directors, screenwriters, actors, and producers to make their films and share them with fellow film makers and industry professionals. The ultimate goal is to bring exposure to independent up-and-coming filmmakers. As a result, the festival has showcased over 800 high quality films from around the world representing over 36 countries ( USA, Canada, UK, France, The Netherlands, Japan, Jordan, Israel, Germany, Spain, Columbia etc…)
Another year of short film festival and another opportunity for you to join us. Don’t be left out! Mark your calendar now. “This is a unique opportunity”.
This year’s short film festival will be held in two favorite locations:
1. The new Coral Gables Art Cinema, with the most advanced technical set-up of any stand-alone non-profit movie theater in the region. A truly comfortable but intimate space in the upscale Coral Gables. (260 Aragon Avenue, Coral Gables)
2. The Tower Theater, one of Miami’s oldest cultural landmarks opened in December of 1926. Today, The Tower Theater is the finest state-of-the-art theater in the South. (1508 SW 8th Street, Miami)

Underground Junction featuring Steven Bauer
As a group, Underground Junction is inspiring to watch and even more pleasing to listen to. When you go out to a show, you want the band to look like they are having fun and you want the music to be pleasing to the ear. Primarily a 3-piece band, these guys know how to really blend their instruments together, however extra musicians and “sit-ins†are always added. This year Underground Junction will be performing at The Miami Music Festival with Actor/ Singer/Songwriter Steven Bauer. The band consists of “real†professional players with years of gigging experience. Chico Brown lays down the sweetest beats on a totally new and unique acoustic drum set up that features a 3-piece Conga set-up with Kick Drum and added toys. Glenn Goss is truly a Pro, with a great attitude and personality. BillyG brings his own unique rhythm style of Acoustic Guitar playing added to his even more unique vocal styling. If you are looking for a totally entertaining show with a lot of energy, great stage performance and a great set list then you want to see these guys perform.

The band maintains a very active role in the South Florida community, doing regular charity events and benefits for: Camillus House, Care Resource, AIDS Walk Miami, Best Buddies, The Susan G. Komen Foundation, and more. Currently the band is completing a new album.

The State Of
The State Of is the product of the marriage between Steph Taylor’s edgy piano/synth playing and Nabedi Osorio’s electronic-like live drumming. Their dark pop sensibility is born out of their hometown of Miami, FL and is reminiscent of artists ranging from the Bjork and the Eurythmics to Radiohead and the Cure. Taylor’s style of playing is often percussive and dark where Osorio’s drumming is melodic and when coupled, they create a dynamic sound larger than what’s expected out of two people.

Pocket of Lollipops

They define their musical genre as sophisticated punk rock; their sound is noisy but organized, thoughtful and melodic.

Zach Deputy at Funky Buddha Lounge 11/9/10

561.368.4643 | www.thefunkybuddha.com
Hailing from the South Carolina coast, Zach Deputy’s family roots are in Puerto Rico and St. Croix. Cruzan rhythms and folk songs competed with blues and American roots music for space on the family stereo. Having toured the country in his late teens and early 20’s with a couple of bands that just didn’t inspire him, Deputy followed his muse back to the Atlantic coast, where he began to craft his own approach to music as a solo artist. Deputy embraced the creative freedom of performing alone, but soon realized it also had its limitations. Thus, he began to employ live looping as a means of filling out the sound. Deputy is now a full band unto himself, made possible through simple technology, but delivered by a skill and mastery of technique, made pure through the injection of warm, charming soul. From his base in Hilton Head, Deputy has been performing 250-300 shows a year for the last four years. Zach Deputy is sponsored by Godin Guitars, and plays nothing else. His new album Sunshine is available now at www.zachdeputy.com | www.myspace.com/zachdeputy.
Of all the talented acts BLP has worked with over the last three years, one we’re most excited to bring to South Florida is Zach Deputy, who is taking the Bamboo Stage Tuesday, November 9 at the Funky Buddha Lounge & Brewery. Put simply, there is nothing else out there like Zach Deputy. Truly a one-man band, he is a powerhouse of performance, technical chops and one hell of a charismatic presence. Deputy uses live loops, layering sounds through the magic of technology to create a full band effect. While he’s not the first artist using this technique, Deputy has taken it to the next level. He’s also a playful songwriter, shredder on guitar, soulful voice with a 4+ octave vocal range and can drop freestyle rhymes with the best of them. The Zach Deputy sound is essentially roots rock, but in his case the roots are in soul, calypso and dancehall, underpinned by driving hip-hop, rock steady, Motown and Stax backbeats created with his layered vocal beatboxing. On top of the backbeat, Deputy’s nylon strings pull multiple duties as bass, rhythm and lead guitar. Riding over that, a plethora of sounds — keyboard, steel drums and an entire horn section — come pumping and grinding out of the speakers when he takes the stage. He is a one man dance party, but he can also bring an audience to rapt attention with a heartfelt love ballad.

Felipe contributed as arranger, composer, and performer on Sandoval’s Grammy-winning album “Rumba Palace”. In 2007 his first solo album, “Dimensions”, recorded in Brazil, was released. This project incorporates his Afro-Cuban roots with strong influences of Jazz and Brazilian music.
This dynamic and prolific artist has recorded five cd’s as a bandleader. His critically acclaimed debut cd “Forma Nuevaâ€, featuring John Patitucci, Horacio “El Negro†Hernandez, Bill Stewart and Seamus Blake, received nationwide airplay and garnered strong reviews in the jazz and music press: Billboard, Jazztimes, Jazziz, All Music Guide and Latin Beat among others. “Historiaâ€, a jazz quartet recording for Fresh Sounds New Talent followed in 2005. Then in 2006 “Melancoliaâ€, which employed a string quartet incorporating world rhythms and classical concepts in the jazz idiom that opened up new vistas of compositional colors and textures across the full range of Valera’s sources. In 2007, “Vientos†represented a new working quartet, featuring bassist James Genus, drummer Ernesto Simpson and saxophonist Joel Frahm. His fifth major recording and most recent work, “Currentsâ€, was released on MaxJazz on October of last year featuring Ernesto Simpson and James Genus.
Manuel’s most recent recognition for “Vientos†is the Jazziz Critics’ Choice for “The Best of 2007” and the “2007 Jazz Twirlies,” a celebration award given to those most worthy in modern jazz. He is a recipient of the 2006 Chamber Music America’s New Works Commission, the 2005 ASCAP Young Composers Award and a final nominee of the 2005 Jazz Journalist Association’s awards in the Up & Coming Musician of the Year category.

The large-format prints show the cumulative damage after nature wreaks its infernal and mighty power on places where humans have trod and perhaps, from nature’s perspective, invaded. The gorgeous West where vacationers commiserate with nature, set up camp to be closer to creation, and build homes in search of their inner quiet, is shown devoid of any humans, merely parts and particles of their presence pre-wildfires.
The Vizcayans To Host Annual Halloween Bash 10/30/10
The Vizcayans To Host Annual Halloween Bash Saturday, October 30th
Rocks Historic Mansion And Grounds At Vizcaya Museum And Gardens
Saturday, October 30 from 8 pm to midnight
3251 South Miami Avenue, Miami, 33129
www.vizcayahalloween.com
The Vizcayans, a non-profit that engages in the preservation and advancement of stately Vizcaya Museum & Gardens, 3251 South Miami Avenue, Miami, 33129, vow that headless waiters will replace heads-of-state when they hold their 24th annual Halloween fundraiser, Saturday, October 30 from 8 pm to midnight. The historic site regularly hosts dignitaries, captains of commerce, bridal parties and thousands of visitors who delight in touring South Florida’s only nationally accredited landmark. But on one night this year—Halloween eve– dead Presidents, sexy schoolgirls and naughty nurses, along with 2000 other costumed celebrants, will take over the mansion and grounds…and with good cause!
That’s when The Vizcayans Young Professionals turn the famed house into South Florida’s most spirited party site with their annual Halloween Bash, the 24th consecutive iconic fall fundraiser to support the preservation of Vizcaya. The $125 advance ticket price (member discount available) includes open super-premium bar, music from dual DJs, two dance floors, Halloween costume contest, food court and access to the estate’s outdoor terraces, Italian Renaissance-inspired gardens, yacht harbor, and Mediterranean revival-styled Mansion. Funds raised benefit the 501 (c) (3) group, which engages in protecting and preserving the nearly 100-year-old treasure.
Always a sold-out event, the Halloween Happening is a favorite on the South Florida social scene, attracting taste-makers from the tri-county area and beyond. Guests are greeted by lavish decorations, French maids and zombie butlers and from there the party spins into a kaleidoscope of creativity, fantasy and fun. The Costume Contest winner will be treated to a 4-day, 3-night stay at the Ritz Carlton Grand Cayman, round trip flight for 2 on Cayman Airways and even a Stingray City Tour!
This year’s Halloween Sundowner sets another trend—“by going green.†Event Chair and local attorney Karl Klein explains that “by incorporating recycling practices into the fundraiser, the Vizcayans Young Professionals further align with Vizcaya’s mission of conservancy.â€
Partners, including Ford Motor Company’s Operation Goodwill, South Florida Lincoln Dealers, Patrón Spirits, Stella Artois Lager, Cayman Islands and smartwater, contribute to the night’s monster success.
For more information, member discounts and tickets, phone 305-856-4866 or visit www.vizcayahalloween.com.
Built by famed agricultural industrialist James Deering in 1916, Vizcaya exemplifies the American Renaissance, combining older European cultural values with the social, material, and environmental context of modern Miami. The 50-acre property consists of a main house, featuring 34 decorated rooms that showcase nearly 3,000 art objects and furnishings spanning two millennium, 10 acres of formal gardens, an historic farm village currently in restoration and the estate’s natural areas, including the environmentally sensitive native hardwood hammock, mangroves, and waterfront.
Vizcaya plays a vital role as a diplomatic seat of government for Miami-Dade County, hosting renowned figures, like Queen Elizabeth II, Pope John Paul II, President Ronald Regan and King Juan Carlos I and Queen Sofia of Spain, and global events like the Summit of the Americas, the signing of the Free Trade Agreement, Art Basel activities and the 2009 International Women’s Conference.
About the Vizcayans: The Vizcayans, Inc. a 501(c) (3) organization formed in the State of Florida, engages in the preservation and advancement of Vizcaya Museum and Gardens as an accredited museum and a National Historic Landmark through financial support, advocacy and other activities. The Vizcayans Corporation is the private sector partner to the public sector Vizcaya Museum and Gardens Trust and works cooperatively and collaboratively with the Trust to advance the mission of Vizcaya.

Hotel Intercontinental celebrated 25th Anniversary by Betty Alvarez
The Intercontinental Hotel is 25 years young. Therfore a worthwhile celebration took place. The party was going to be held at the pool terrace of the hotel. However, due to the dubious weather, the celebration was held inside on the second floor in one of their beautiful grand ballrooms. It was a perfect setting for the event.
Renowned artist Stephen Gamson whose artwork can be seen hanging on the side of the hotel, created a one of a kind masterpiece to honor this milestone celebration. The artist himself was available to sign commemorative posters of his artwork.
The cocktails and appetizers from the Intercontinental were amazing. At the end, a one of a kind dessert was passed around. This dessert consisted of whip cream with a delicious berry surprise at the bottom; blueberries. It was the perfect sweet way to end a good feast.
Happy Anniversary Hotel Intercontinental Miami!

Vino Fino: The 9th Annual Miami International Wine Fair
The 9th Annual Miami International Wine Fair
October 14–17, 2010
Miami Beach Convention Center
By Talmage Thornhill
What an adventure! Traveling around the world via libation was the escapade of the day at the Miami International Wine Fair.
There were too many scrumptious samples to delineate all of them in their entirety, but suffice to say the choices were plentiful enough to please any palate. My favorite regions were Catalonia, which was much larger than I expected, and my old standard Chile. Peru had some interesting offerings as well.
Most of the hosts we encountered were friendly and somewhat nonchalant, but a few stood out as exceptionally enthusiastic. Some were also notable for their apparent lack of interest in laypeople like us, who did not have the power to bring their product to the US like the buyers and distributors whose attention they coveted. Many of the wines we tasted were not available for purchase in this country yet, and the goal of their representatives was understandably to change that. Across the board, everyone was generous with their pours and knowledge.
Traveling around the different areas was what really made the event special for me. The personalities and ethnicities mirrored the countries represented, so diversity was abundant. It wasn’t just wine that was available, either. Tequila, vodka, and new products such as canned bubbly wine were also present. The size, scope, and layout of the room were ideal: not too big to manage, not too small to get bored. The event provided some light food, but with such limited time, why focus on anything other than liquid love?
The Wine Fair was a great event. In the end we walked away satisfied and happy but not thrilled or blown away. By the time we arrived, in the evening when the event was open to the public, some vendors had run out of samples or were exhausted from a long day. Next year I’m campaigning for a VIP pass nice and early!

Wednesday, December 1: 11 am- 6 pm
Thursday, Dec. 2, Friday, Dec. 3, and
Saturday, December 4: 11 am- 7 pm
Sunday, December 5: 11 am- 6 pm
Vernissage (for VIP members): November 30, 2010, 3 pm- 9 pm
www.artasiafair.com
Art Asia, the premier international Asian contemporary art fair is returning to Miami for its third edition. Moving from the Wynwood Art District back to its original location in Midtown Miami, the fair will be held from December 1-5 with a vernissage on November 30.
Art Asia was created in 2008 as the first fair in Miami dedicated to Asian contemporary art. Focusing on education programs, Art Asia brought speakers such as Jerome Sans, Alexandra Munroe, Alexandra Wang, Wu Hung, Melissa Chiu, and Vishakha Desai to the fair. In 2009, the fair returned with Leeza Ahmady, independent curator and director of Asian Contemporary Art Week. With Ahmady, Art Asia launched the exhibition Truly Truthful, which showcased internationally recognized artists whose work contested categorical presentations of truth and reality in the world. In addition, Art Asia presented a film from Yi Zhou entitled THE EAR, featuring Pharrell Williams. In continuation with last year’s special programming, this year’s Art Asia is showcasing a new and exciting series of special projects titled Art Asia Presents, comprised of projects selected exclusively for Art Asia 2010.
Art Asia Co-founder Jeffrey Lawson says, “We are proud and excited to produce our 3rd edition of Art Asia Miami. The Miami community as well as the international community has been tremendously supportive and enabled our fair to continue to grow over the past 3 years.†Lawson adds, “This year’s fair has a very strong line-up, with a focus on the complete Diaspora of Asian contemporary art.â€
With galleries participating from Asia, North America, Europe, and the Middle East, this year’s Art Asia Fair is continuing in the tradition of exploring the innovative dimensions of Asian contemporary art. In two exciting exhibitions of contemporary art from the Middle East—Staging Identity: Performance and Irony in Contemporary Iranian Photography and The Contemporary Arabesque—Galerie Kashya Hildebrand will be showcasing artists such as Gohar Dashti, Asad Faulwell, and Ahmad Moualla in this year’s fair. Art Asia is dedicated to widening the scope of Asian art and is particularly excited to provide a platform for this unique regional dialogue.
Art Asia Presents
In continuation with Art Asia’s critically acclaimed curatorial programming from 2009, we will present a series of special projects featured alongside the galleries. Through this new presentation, visitors will experience the creativity and talent of Asian contemporary artists working both inside and outside of Asia.
For the first time outside of The Guild Gallery, The Guild Co-Lab will be presenting a series of projects intending to foster research within a wide social construct. Co-Lab invites political, creative, educational and socially active groups to exercise ideas within a critically constructive atmosphere.
Feizi Gallery will be presenting Li Xin’s Ecstasy. This mixed-media installation depicts the life of a virtual human, engaging in visual and spiritual experiments in the form of 3-D simulation.
Galerie Kashya Hildebrand will be presenting Traverse by Messon Pae Yang. This large-scale installation will explore the convergence of technology, desire, and personal mythology into a thickly layered stratum of images and objects.

Felipe Lamoglia is a Grammy-winning saxophonist, composer and arranger. Born and educated in Cuba, he is a graduate of the prestigious Superior Institute of Art (ISA). By the age of 18 he was a member of Cuba’s acclaimed dance band, NG La Banda. In 1992 he moved to Brazil where he lived for seven years, absorbing the country’s musical and spiritual wealth and playing with great artists such as Raul de Souza, Arismar do Espirito Santo and others. With Bocato he recorded two albums and participated in the Montreux Jazz Festival. While in Brazil, Felipe founded his own quartet, Tumbao, and taught at the University of Free Music in Sao Paolo.
In 1999 Lamoglia relocated to the U.S. where he immediately began performing with the late Celia Cruz. In 2001 he began playing with Grammy winner Arturo Sandoval, performing all over the world and recording on Trumpet Evolution, as well as two DVD releases: Live at the Blue Note NYC and Live at the Ann Arbor Summer Festival. In 2004 he joined Grammy winner Gonzalo Rubalcaba, recording on his Grammy-nominated album, Paseo (Blue Note).
In 2006 Lamoglia arranged and played on Ignacio Berroa’s debut album Codes, also released on Blue Note and nominated for a Grammy. In 2007 Felipe contributed as arranger, performer, and composer for Arturo Sandoval’s Grammy-winning album, Rumba Palace.
Throughout the years he has continued to develop his solo work and in 2007 released his first solo CD, Dimensions, recorded in Brazil. This album incorporated Felipe’s Afro-Cuban roots with a blend of Brazilian music and straight-ahead jazz. He is currently promoting his quintet, Afro-Cuban Beats.
Felipe has shared the stage with musical giants such as Herbie Hancock, Michael Brecker, Wynton Marsalis, Eldar, Dafnis Prieto, Ignacio Berroa and many others, participating in Major Jazz Festivals in the U.S. and abroad including JVC, Playboy, Newport, Henieken Jazz, Red Sea and in venues such as Blue Note, Iridium, Jazz Standard, Yoshi’s, Dizzy’s Club Coca Cola and many more.

Jose Negroni is a pianist and composer of remarkable creativity and brilliance. He has worked with pop artists Chayanne, Carmita Jimenez, Yolandita Monge, Jose Luis Rodriguez and Braulio among others, as well as with Jazz greats Ed Calle on saxophone, percussionist Sammy Figueroa, trombonist Juan Pablo Torres and renowned violinist Federico Britos.
In 1995 Negroni moved to Miami where he became Creative Manager for Sony Music Publishing Latin, mentoring and signing many young writers, meanwhile developing his own compositions and concepts. His first album, “Naturaleza/Nature” on Universal Music Latino, contains elements of jazz, pop and Latin music and pays tribute to the spirit of his native island in tunes such as ‘Isla’, ‘Coqui, Coqui’ (which refers to the little frog with its characteristic cry which only dwells in Puerto Rico) and ‘Nature’, the title track of the album, inspired by the fresh and rich landscape of Puerto Rico’s natural paradise.
As a member of a new generation of Puerto Rican artists, whose sensibility goes beyond salsa, Negroni is obviously involved in a grand love affair with the acoustic piano and his music has a delightful beauty, anchored in jazz with hints of classical lyricism and New Age.
Grammy nominee Thania Sanz graduated from one of the most prestigious schools for jazz and composition, the Berklee College of Music in Boston. Her love of performing with her guitar and original material has led her to be known like one of the best live acts in Los Angeles and Miami. She has produced and recorded 4 cd’s, where you can hear her sophisticated approach, musically and lyrically, and her sensitivity in performing them. Her songwriting, singing style, and musical vision can take us through beautiful journeys of passion for life, like the troubadours of the old days.

Gina Pellón Exhibition Opens At Cernuda Arte 11/5/10

Cernuda Arte is pleased and honored to announce the opening of Still Going Strong, a solo exhibition that brings together fifty recent works by renowned contemporary Cuban master, Gina Pellón. This new exhibition inaugurates on Friday, November 5, with a celebratory Opening Reception from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m.
The artist will be traveling from Paris to Miami to attend the evening premiere. This is a welcomed opportunity for visitors to view a great show and meet the artist. The event is free and open to the public. The exhibition will run through December 15, 2010.
As an endeared, respected and applauded artist from the Cuban diaspora in the international milieu, Gina Pellón has enjoyed a successful career and many accolades, including the bestowal of one of France’s most distinguished titles, that of Chevalier in the French Order of Arts and Letters – an award that recognizes the eminency of artists and writers who have contributed significantly to furthering the arts in France and throughout the world.
She has also received praiseworthy comments and critiques for her outstanding qualities as an artist by renowned writers and art celebrities, such as, Wifredo Lam, Roberto Matta, Asger Jorn, José Pierre, Michele Anthonioz, Édouard Jaguer, Édouard Glissant, Alain Bosque and José Gómez Sicre, to name a few.
All these laudable recognitions throughout the years are the result of an exemplary-productive life of an established artist who has always focused on translating authenticity, audacity and beauty in a unique body of work.
Her Paris home-studio, for 51 years, is her sacred shelter and retreat. Aglow with harmony, an organized atmosphere permeates Gina’s dwelling, graciously filled with books, magazines, music, paintings, drawings, sculptures, art objects, treasured Cuban collectibles and many, many memories –all vital and seasoned companions of a life well chosen. It is ultimately a self-ruling space, where the artist lives and concocts a significant-ongoing endeavor.
Dynamic and luminous, Gina Pellón’s work is based on bold colors, vigorous brushwork and gestural rhythm. Prismatic figures of women, visages – and at times – groups and gatherings of people, stream in her compositions conveying spontaneity at its best. As a dominant element in this late-period rendition, one senses a marvelous kind of freshness –particularly in the way the artist multi-layers the colors and lets loose the free-flowing lines that so exquisitely create her iconography.
Passionate and persevering, Gina exalts that familiar state of grace and joie-de-vivre adherent to her persona for so many years. And this time around, still fully in command of her talents – and with much to say at 84 years of age – the painter once again delivers a telling show with superb examples of her work.
As gallery director, Ramón Cernuda, says in his Still Going Strong catalog salute to the artist, […] Gina arrives at her late style of painting full of energy and enthusiasm. Her creations are freer and seem more spontaneous. The contours of her figures no longer contain, they merely suggest. The expressionism of the unbridled brushwork is loose of formality and devoid of restriction. The palette contributes color fields that clash and make peace –inevitable destiny of neighbors… What an honor to celebrate this exhibition. The festivity is surely merited. We recognize a lifetime of dedication to art. Much deserved.
Standouts of this exhibition include, Moonlight, an imposing large-format canvas that fuses together an energetic atmosphere and a suffused affection for the figures portrayed, and The Praying Mantis, an arresting depiction of a seated woman wearing an intense-red color jacket, a favorite hue in the artist’s palette.
GINA PELLÓN was born in Cumanayagua, Cuba, on the year 1926. At the beginning, she attended the San Alejandro Academy in Havana, Cuba where she received a solid-six-year formative training which later on helped her become a knowledgeable and confident artist. Her resolute spirit to stay on the pulse and a no-fear personality takes her to France. A born-again person in 1959 (the definitive year when Gina left the island with another group of Cuban artists and arrived in Paris), she immediately fell in love with the city and decided to stay permanently.
Paris offered the young artist, a vibrant atmosphere, a bountiful cultural life and a different group of friends. From this moment on, and despite the obvious difficulties of adaptation while living in exile, she pursued her long-standing desire to become a professional artist and worked on it hard. She expanded her horizons, mingled with personalities such as André Breton, Matta, Lam, Asger Jorn, and learned about the popular art movements of the times.
Gina was once asked in an interview about the artists that had a greater influence on her. She mentioned Kandinsky, Paul Klee and Picasso, but also included with familiarity, the experimental group linked to action painting, the surrealists, and after this, the definite contact in the ‘60s with the spontaneity and total freedom of expression conceived by the avant-garde COBRA movement in Europe. This important discovery touched and transformed Gina’s artwork. In the years that followed, she faced the empty canvas in a different way and defined the signature alchemy that has captivated, for many years, art enthusiasts and art collectors worldwide.
Gina Pellón has been featured in more than fifty solo exhibitions and included in more than 100 group shows. Her career in Europe has been prolific and successful, with extensive exhibitions in Paris, Lausanne, Toulouse, Brussels, Amsterdam, Silkeborg, Copenhagen and Larvik.
She has also shown internationally in major museums, institutions and art fairs in other cities such as, Geneva, Barcelona, London, Miami, New York and Caracas, among others. Her work is held in the permanent collections of many distinguished private, public and corporate art collections around the world. Gina Pellón resides and works in Paris, France.
The exhibition is accompanied by a fully-illustrated catalog. Forty-nine artworks from Still Going Strong are featured in color. It also includes an essay by professor, art historian, curator, writer and Latin American & Caribbean art specialist, Dr. Carol Damian. She is the Director of the Patricia and Phillip Frost Museum at Florida International University, and teaches Art History in this same university. Also included are special words of recognition by curator and gallery director, Ramón Cernuda, in the context of this great accomplishment by the artist.
