Exhibition at the Salon de Paris was essential for any artist to achieve success in France for at least the next 200 years. Exhibition in the Salon marked a sign of royal favor.

Press Release – Art Basel Miami Beach | Final Report

Posted on    by

abmb

{This is the official press release from Art Basel Miami Beach. We will have a our own review tomorrow. If we do one. Or are we all Baseled out?}

Exceptionally high quality and very solid sales at Art Basel Miami Beach 2009

The eighth edition of Art Basel Miami Beach closed on Sunday, December 6, 2009. More than 250 galleries from North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia and Africa exhibited works by over 2,000 artists. With a program of special exhibitions, panel discussions, private collection tours, and events fea¬turing film, performance, and video, the show attracted 42,000 visitors. Visitors included art collectors, museum directors, curators and cultural journalists from all over the United States and the rest of the world. A great number of artists also attended the event, among them Chuck Close, Ingar Dragset, Claire Fontaine, Matthew Day Jackson, Kris Martin, Marilyn Minter, James Rosenquist, Fred Tomaselli, Ai Weiwei, Pae White, and Kehinde Wiley. Over 100 museum and institution groups also visited the show, as did private collectors from the Americas, Europe and many emerging markets of the artworld.
Art Basel Miami Beach proved again that high-quality works remain in strong demand,as collectors rewarded excellent material and booth presentations with steady sales throughout the week. The new layout of Art Basel Miami Beach included larger spaces for many galleries. Many exhibitors also reported excellent sales and valuable new contacts, especially in Latin America. Gallerists offered positive reports, including:

David Zwirner, David Zwirner Gallery, New York
“This was a surprisingly strong show. The show certainly confirmed the trend that started at Art Basel in June. This art market is stabilizing and gaining momentum. During the last twelve months, most business was conducted with established collectors. Here in Miami,it was nice to see some altogether new faces. While most business took place below one million dollars, there were also trades above that figure.”

Tim Neuger, neugerriemschneider, Berlin
“We came with a solo presentation by Jorge Pardo, who wanted us to show a large scale architectural piece, one of his palapas (a tropical pavilion) and it generated a lot of interest, indeed. Believing in idealistic gestures is once again becoming reality.”

Roger Tatley, Director, Alison Jacques Gallery, London
“We’ve had a great Art Basel Miami Beach. The response from museums has been fantastic and sales strong. The decision to exhibit a large group of Hannah Wilke works from the 1970s, along with iconic vintage self portraits by Mapplethorpe, together with other gallery artists, has been extremely rewarding.”

Robert Peter Miller, Robert Miller Gallery, New York
“Because of the artists we represent, I feel that we benefitted from the less freneticand more contemplative pace of the fair. We had many more sales than in any previousArt Basel Miami Beach.”

John Mollett, Director, Jan Krugier Gallery, New York
“This year shows that things are picking up again. The positive energy that had always driven this fair has come back, especially when you compare it to last year. Confidenceis contagious, so if the dealers are optimistic, so are the collectors, and vice versa.”

Andrew da Conceicao, Director, Michael Stevenson Gallery, Cape Town
“It has been a long while since we have met this many new and serious collectors and curators in such a short time span. We have always felt that Americans connect particularly strongly to our program, and Art Basel Miami Beach more than confirmed this for us. Conversations we’ve had in the past few days will continue well beyond the fair, and we hope that Miami will become a new point of reference for our gallery. We are leaving witha big smile on our face.”

Phil Grauer, Partner, Canada Gallery, New York
“We sold our booth quickly and easily to very good collections. Having an Art Positions booth in the central area has brought a sense of community back to the fair.”

This year’s Art Kabinett was of high quality and showed an interesting mix of carefully curated exhibitions in the booths of the galleries. Twenty-eight galleries – more than ever before – presented an Art Kabinett. The projects in this sector of the show featured awide array of artists, ranging from emerging artists such as Jakub Julian Ziotkowski,Haegue Yang and Latifa Echakhch to historical figures like Marcel Duchamp, George Grosz and Jack Tworkov. Further highlights included projects by Olafur Eliasson, Anish Kapoor, Richard Prince and Wim Delvoye. Group shows included exhibitions titled “Fluxus”, “Ninety Years of Bauhaus” and “Aspects of Pop Art”.

The Art Nova sector presented recent works, often fresh from the studio. Pieces by more than 130 artists from around the globe were on display in Art Nova, including 17 solo shows, featuring artists such as Marc Bijl, Valie Export, Rashid Rana, Dan Attoe, Michael Beutler, Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian, Jose Dávila and Marine Hugonnier.

The Art Positions sector – focused on special projects by young artists and galleries – was located for the first time in the center of the Miami Beach Convention Center and proved to be a favorite among visitors, bringing young energy into the halls.Art Positions featured new works by artists such as Renate Lorenz, Falke Pisano,Ulla von Brandenburg, Agathe Snow, Egill Saebjornsson and Reena Spaulings.

Art Projects, newly curated by Patrick Charpenel of Guadalajara, Mexico, featured 13 projects by internationally renowned artists such as Santiago Sierra, Claire Fontaine, William Pope.L, Rirkrit Tiravanija, and Franz West. The projects were installed in the outdoor public spaces of Miami Beach, within close proximity to the Oceanfront areaand the Miami Beach Convention Center. Art Projects attracted many visitors, especially during the performance by Rirkrit Tiravanija in the W South Beach hotel. Another major highlight was the floating house in the Ocean by Jorge Mayet.

The new Oceanfront environment, created by Los Angeles artist Pae White was a highlight of this year’s Art Basel Miami Beach and proved popular with the public.White’s immersive and interactive cityscape provided a new experience with each visit, transforming at night into a shadowy group of buildings. White’s largest project to date, italso hosted a daily program including the Art Basel Conversations, Art Perform, Art Video and Art Film which were well-visited in the mornings and evenings. Art Video, curated by Creative Time, involved screenings of videos by Tom Sachs and The Neistat Brothers, Marc Horowitz, Jill Magid, Kon Trubkovich, followed by discussions with the artists. Art Perform featured an intensified program of longer per¬formances by rising international artists. This program was again curated by Jens Hoffmann, director of the CCA Wattis Institute, San Francisco. It featured performances by Kelly Nipper, Kris Martin, Simon Fujiwara, Claire Fontaine, and Mario Garcia Torres / Loris Gréaud.

This year’s Art Film event offered an exclusive work-in-progress sneak preview of the feature documentary film “Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Radiant Child”, preceded by a panel with director Tamra Davis, art dealer Jeffrey Deitch, co-producer David Koh, andhip-hop legend Fab 5 Freddy, moderated by Bob Colacello. Directed by Davis, the film featured a long and never-before-seen interview with Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-1988), shot shortly before his death. Art Film was curated by Zurich film connaisseur This Brunner.

Many leading art-world figures appeared in the Art Basel Conversations. Located this year for the first time at the Oceanfront, the Art Basel Conversations were especially well-attended by the artworld and the broader public in their new location by the beach. The premiere presented an artist talk with Ai Weiwei, followed by “Museum Directors: Change in Generation”, “Collector Focus: Latin America” and “The Future of the Museum: The Portable Museum”. (Videos of the Art Basel Conversations can be downloaded soon at www.artbaselmiamibeach.com/conversations.)

Art Salon, located this year for the first time in the central area of the Miami Beach Convention Center, evolved well in its new location. Participants included artworld figures such as Pae White, Jens Hoffmann, Fred Tomaselli, Mark Rosenthal, James Rosenquist, Klaus Biesenbach and Josh Baer.

The daily visits to artist studios in the Greater Miami area were also very popular with visitors.

No matter what sounds you profess to be your music of choice, chances are, that at some point over the last five years, you will have got your rocks off to Matt Edwards.
Radio Slave. Perhaps Matt’s most instantly recognisable nom de guerre, thanks in part to his inspirational melding of Kylie’s Can’t Get You Out Of My Head to New Order’s Blue Monday, this is Matt’s DJ moniker and the guise under which he completes his incendiary remixes and re-edits.
However, before such sonic schizophrenia gets you calling for the men in white coats, just feel the quality and consider Matt’s legacy. Fired by the first wave of acid house, Matt gained his musical spurs by partying to dance music that was just that: music you danced to, irrespective of tribal factions.
This was the raison d’être he acknowledged when he took to the decks, first at London’s legendary Milk Bar in 1992, then onto the, then, recently opened Ministry Of Sound and then to parties across the country, most notably in Wales – where he was a regular at free parties – and in Brighton, his home since 1998.
His love of re-edits, dance music’s oft-forgotten backbone, led Matt into the studio himself. His own re-edits and remixes, such as the aforementioned epoch-defining re-imagining for Ms Minogue, soon gave way to his own productions and since the floodgates opened there’s been no stopping the man known as, erm, Matthew E, Quiet Village, Sea Devils, Rekid and Radio Slave.
He’s released records for Skint, Soul Jazz, Classic, Whatever We Want, and he’s worked with fellow travellers, Belgium’s The Glimmers. If Matt comes up with another two projects he’ll have enough alter egos for every day of the week.
Psychologists would probably have a field day with him; mercifully, we don’t have to worry about any crisis of identity, we just get to keep on dancing.

Javier Ruibal to perform at Kimbaracumbara 12/4/09

Posted on    by

fundarte_javierruibal1
Have you ever felt your senses begin to cloud because of a poem or a melody? Have you ever felt the sensation of listening to a voice that takes over you? It is the result of a lifetime of hard work, years and years of struggle, of moving verses, a gift for the eyes and the ears, a gentle caress for the soul. Javier Ruibal has the power to engulf each new guilty party….. It is a crime to not know his music, to not have entered into his world of fusion, into his labyrinth of beautiful words…. With every strum of his guitar, with every lyric, he is able to take us into a world full of color, of “tobacco and Spanish wine,” a world with stories of prohibited love, a world of landscapes which seem to be created by the images of its own verses, a world of insatiable longings, of lost souls… His voice invites us to journey into his dreams, his rhythm fills the music lover with pleasure, and even the most stubborn of listeners are captured by what they hear and feel. He finds himself surrounded by the most happening of grooves, the most happening musicians, and in the top international stages, he is considered the most organic of artists in this world full of jealousy and betrayal. Journey into his music and allow his magic to engulf you. You will become one of many, but he will make you feel like you are the only one. There is room for you here, and you can expect to stay forever.

Javier Ruibal ¿Has sentido alguna vez que se te nublan los sentidos con un poema, una melodía? ¿Has vivido la sensación de escuchar una voz que te atrapa? Son muchos años de trabajo duro, una trayectoria “de pico y pala”, una vida de versos cantados que emocionan, un regalo para los ojos y los oídos, una caricia para el alma. Javier Ruibal se apodera de cada nuevo “reo”… Es un delito no conocer su música, no haberse adentrado jamás en su mundo de fusión, en su laberinto de hermosas palabras… Con cada acorde de su guitarra, con cada letra, es capaz de transportarnos a un mundo lleno de color, de “tabaco y tinto de verano”, de historias de amor prohibidas, de tierras que parecen inventadas en el dibujo de sus textos, de anhelos insaciables, de almas perdidas… Su voz invita a aventurarnos en sus sueños, su ritmo colma de placer al más intrépido melómano, al más reacio oyente embelesa con su boca y con sus dedos. Se rodea del mejor son, de los mejores músicos, y en los mejores escenarios de la escena internacional se le ha visto pasear como el más sencillo de los artistas que haya conocido este mundo tan celoso y traicionero. Adéntrate en su música y deja que su magia te envuelva. Serás uno de tantos, pero te hará sentir que eres único. Aquí hay un hueco para ti, y no te quepa duda de que vas a quedarte para siempre.

Art Basel attendees, members of the community and all art lovers are welcome to the month long no reservations, no invite, no fee exhibit.

Reviews
“Helene Weiss has had an open dialogue with the viewer. Pairing both the delicacy and fragility of life against its strengths and triumphs, she has arrived at a balance she likens to the teachings of Thai Chi”

“The overall harmony that is present in Helene Weiss’ paintings draw upon years of experience and process. Her paintings have reached a level of understanding and sophistication that communicates an intuitive link between strength and sublime beauty”

“Helene’s work captures the tangled human experience in all its despair and beauty, transporting viewers on an unconscious trip thru life’s truth’s and circumstances, at each point in between, the work invites memories & personal choice, ultimately leading viewers back to conscious acknowledgement of the work, life and who he or she is at that moment”

About the artist
Helene M. Weiss is a prolific painter gifted with the range, instinct, style and technique afforded only arts great masters. Ms. Weiss, now 70 has amassed a portfolio of art sixty-two years in the making, an extensive collection of original paintings born of feeling, emotion and the complexities of everyday life. Original works include figurative, abstract, still life and pencil drawings, each a masterpiece from conception defined by color, form and a fluidity that is not literal, not clever, rather relatable and profound.

Born 1939 in Brooklyn, New York, Helene Weiss has literally been painting all her life. In grade school, her art instructor at the Center Academy in Brooklyn and his then colleague, aspiring artist Mark Rothko took notice of Helene’s natural gift, urging the Weiss family to nurture and encourage the blossoming abilities of a then seven-year-old Helene.
Attending Boston University’s School of Fine & Applied Arts Helene received a scholarship to study at the Brooklyn Museum of Art where her work received top honors in the Museum’s “Fence Art Show.” Helene was later awarded a fellowship to the world renowned, Provincetown Workshop, a host to premiere artists from around the world and the place she would meet personal mentors, famed artists Robert Motherwell and Helen Frankenthaler.

Helene Weiss|ART has been exhibited in galleries across the country and throughout her native New York, including The National Arts Gallery, Lincoln Center, Brooklyn Museum of Art and The Cloisters, Metropolitan Museum of Art. Today, Ms. Weiss enjoys an international following thanks in large part to Art Basel and the print media, most notably, the acclaimed book published in 2007, “Miami Contemporary Artists”, which named Helene as one of the “key artists who have played a role in bringing the cultural evolution of Miami to fruition”

About: Educate Tomorrow, Corp. is an international, nonprofit, certified 501(c)(3) organization. All over the world, poverty denies children, as well as adults, the promises of a better tomorrow. Forgotten by society and social welfare programs, children born into poverty are trapped in a cruel and often violent cycle that frequently continues for generations. Lacking the inspiration, confidence, knowledge, and means to change, entire families are lost to the cycle of hopelessness.

Educate Tomorrow believes that the best way to end the cycle of poverty is through education. Our mission is to make education an attainable goal for the most disadvantaged in our world, so that all may be afforded the possibilities that can be achieved through learning. We strive to reach out to these individuals and provide them inspiration, guidance, and support and lead them on the path of life-long learning.

Educate Tomorrow’s primary mission in the US is to provide one-on-one educational mentors to foster care children that are turning 18 and “aging out” of the system. Since its founding in 2003, Educate Tomorrow has successfully implemented its mentoring programs, education programs and life skills camps across the nation. Additionally, it has reached internationally by continuing to support the work of it’s founders who established one of the first local language primary schools, adult literacy programs and boarding schools in the remote and impoverished village of Kabey Fo in Niger, West Africa.

Cristina Chacon Studio Gallery Grand Opening
An Orange Affair Exhibition
Saturday, December 5th, 2009. 7:00 p.m.
Opening reception: Saturday, December 5th, 2009. 7:00 p.m.
Location: Cristina Chacon Studio Gallery. 3162 Commodore Plaza, Suite 1F2. Coconut Grove, FL 33133
Dates: From Dec 5th, 2009 through Jan 31st, 2010
Admission: Free
Cristina Chacon Studio Gallery is celebrating its Grand Opening on December 5th with the exhibition “An Orange Affair” featuring works by William Braemer, Global Art Beat Gallery, Olga Dziembowska, Ana Carolina Moreno and Cristina Chacón.
William Braemer’s artwork is the consequence of an amazing life experience and a personality that hungers for rich tasting adventures. Like a slow brewing, rich tasting stew, William’s artwork is peppered with valiant colors, rich strokes and tempting themes.
Global Art Beat Gallery with artists that were born in Cuba and reside now in Europe. Commonly introspective in their works, while reflecting the beauty of dereliction and the consciousness of a youthful populace mixed from Spanish and African slave ancestry.
Olga Dziembowska was born in Poland in 1977. A theme that often seems to creep into the works of Olga Dziembowska is the presence of animals. This is perhaps not coincidental as she places high value on animals and also do fear the disruption that human presence has on our world and nature.
Ana Carolina Moreno is a talented artist born in Venezuela. As an art lover she has always being very sensitive to the human nature and its different ways of expression. She has successfully done exhibits on her sculptures series, like the vases, the spheres, the mosaics & mixed media series among others.
Cristina Chacon is the Artist in Residence at Cristina Chacon Studio Gallery. She is a contemporary artist who was born in Colombia. Her work is plenty of abundance and full of colors and texture but simple and clean in the concept.

Migrations: Looking South, an outstanding selection of
Central-American art curated by Rosina Cazali.
Artists: Ronald Morán (El Salvador),
Donna Conlon (Panama), Patricia Belli (Nicaragua), Grupo La Torana (Guatemala), Adán Valdecillo (Honduras), Ángel Poyón Calí (Guatemala), Danny Zavaleta (El Salvador), Miguel Ángel Madrigal (México), Regina Galindo (Guatemala), Dalia Chévez (El Salvador), Lucía Madriz (Costa Rica), Betsabé Romero (Mexico) and Ernesto Salmerón (Nicaragua)

Migration is the movement of people or human groups from their place of origin to other regions. This movement may be voluntary, as is the case with legal emigrants with work permits, or involuntary and ensuing from the lack of job opportunities; it may be massive or as a result of armed conflicts or due to ethnic exclusions, which are escalating now in a significant and disturbing manner.

Migration processes can be analyzed from different points of view including the economic, political, demographic and social angles. They are seen as collective processes, but they are also individual experiences. All perspectives are indispensable to achieve an understanding of this highly complex phenomenon. The exhibition Migrations: Looking South proposes a new standpoint for analyzing the Central-American migration process through a rarely explored outlook: culture

Migrations: Looking South was organized by Guatemalan curator Rosina Cazali and includes several artists from the region who through their creativity would approach de deeper raison d’etre of the initiative. In her own words, “artists bring us closer to the reflections activated by their contexts, their personal preoccupations and the ways of understanding and expressing the meaning of those exoduses that are part of our countries daily life.”

Migrations: Looking South will be housed at The Moore Space thanks to the collaboration of Miami Design District. It will open on December 3rd during Art Basel Miami.

Wish Upon A….Sculpture!
Société Perrier™ Presents
Artist Christopher Labzda’s “Wishing Well” at PULSE Miami
Saturday, December 5th at the Miami Ice Palace, 1400 North Miami Avenue

Société Perrier™ is proud to announce its electrifying alliance with artist Christopher Labzda, who will create a “Wishing Well” sculpture constructed of Perrier bottles to be unveiled at PULSE Miami on Saturday December 5th, 2009.

PULSE Miami attendees can toss their loose change into the well, which is expected to stand between four and five feet in diameter and approximately three feet tall. The entire structure will be strung with tiny fairy lights, creating a mosaic of glowing Perrier bottles designed to grant wishes as they light up the night.

A visual celebration of Société Perrier’s™ commitment to supporting emerging artists and pop culture phenomena, Christopher Labzda’s Société Perrier™ Wishing Well will no doubt delight spectators, both mentally and visually.

Rising New York City artist Christopher Labzda will be constructing the Société Perrier™ structure live throughout the day on Saturday, December 5th. Labzda employs a whimsical archaeology of found objects to document the creative process and the people involved. He often appears in the works, inconspicuously slipping between the role of voyeur, subject and creator, while conjuring up futile notions of time and faith in relation to functional objects. At dusk, the completed Wishing Well sculpture will be illuminated and its magical wish-granting will commence!

Entering its fifth season, PULSE Contemporary Art Fair takes place at Miami’s Ice Palace and runs concurrently with Art Basel Miami Beach – from Thursday, December 3rd through Sunday December 6th. PULSE develops original cultural programming with a series of large-scale installations, its PULSE Play Video Lounge, the PULSE Performance event series and the recently launched PULSE Profiles series of artists and curators talks.

In the spirit of Perrier’s ® collaborations with iconic artists including Andy Warhol in the 80’s, Société Perrierâ„¢ the source for nightlife, whose identity was created by contemporary artist Scott Campbell, continues the brand’s decades of celebrating artistic expression by supporting PULSE Miami.

Leading US Fashion Photographer Arnaldo Anaya-Lucca presents his First Fine Art Solo Exhibition at Luis Perez Galeria
Thursday, December 3rd, 2009. 7:00 – 10:00 p.m.
Opening reception: Thursday, December 3rd, 2009. 7:00 – 10:00 p.m.
Location: Luis Perez Galeria at The Awarehouse. 550 NW 29th Street. Miami, FL 33127
Admission: Free
One of today’s leading fashion photographers, Arnaldo Anaya-Lucca, will be presenting his first fine art solo exhibition, “Adam and Eve,” at Luis Perez Galeria in Wynwood, Miami during this year’s Art Basel Miami Beach, hosted by Manuel Norena.
For his first exhibition of its type, Anaya-Lucca rethinks classic imagery in a more personal way, animating events in history with a curiosity that is both critical and sensual. Adam and Eve is a nude study inspired by 17th and 18th Century renaissance paintings. The images reflect the struggle of sensuality, temptation and shame that underlies the human condition as well as the joy of sexual innocence. The artist also wanted to address situations where the line between internal and external sense of self was/is in conflict throughout human history. The set design for the exhibition is also by Manuel Norena with Jed Root in New York.
Arnaldo Anaya-Lucca currently lives between his studio in New York’s East village and his home in South Beach. This year’s Art Basel Miami Beach is the perfect time and place to show his first fine art solo exhibit. One of the images featured was donated and sold at auction for Ralph Lauren’s yearly Pink Pony event – Ralph Lauren’s breast cancer foundation.
Arnaldo Anaya-Lucca is one of the leading American fashion photographers working today. Born in Ponce, Puerto Rico Arnaldo Anaya-Lucca came to the USA in 1974. He attended Rockhurst College in Kansas City and received his degree in finance and economics in 1983. His career in fashion started in 1988 with Ralph Lauren, New York City. He moved his way up through corporate and eventually joined the men’s design team in 1992.
In late 1995 Ralph Lauren gave him his first photography assignment, shooting Tyson Beckford for the launch of the designers high-end brand, Purple Label. He has since contributed to magazines such as Australian Vogue, Australian GQ, American GQ, Japanese GQ, Russian GQ, Style, Esquire, Interview, Black Magazine Man, Men’s Vogue, New York Times Magazine, Spanish Harper’s Bazaar, Four Seasons Magazine, Flaunt, Brutus, Dutch and Vibe magazines. His extensive client roster includes: PoloRalph Lauren, Calvin Klein, Emporio Armani, Brooks Brothers, Nautica, Kohls, Fao Schwarz, Victoria’s Secrets, Lord & Taylor, Gap, Louis Boston, Bloomingdales, Saks Fifth Avenue, Oxford Clothes, Oscar de la Renta, Ann Taylor, Ann Taylor Loft, Tommy Hilfiger, Joseph Abboud, Bergdorf Goodman and Hickey Freeman. After focusing on fashion photography for the last 13 years Anaya-Lucca has began looking more towards conceptual work.

DECEMBER 2009 MARKS A SERIES OF TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES IN SOUTH FLORIDA EACH OF THEM CAN BE EXPERIENCED AT ONE LOCATION: MIA AT BISCAYNE
Since opening the doors to the public Mia at Biscayne has been wowing patrons with an eclectic series of events. From fashion driven to music driven functions, each day has represented a unique event at this new spot. During the month of December this newly proclaimed art and entertainment complex- supper club will leave guests with their eyes wide open.

December 1, 2009 Mia at Biscayne along with Creativas Group Public Relations invites the public to a spectacular event while welcoming Art Basel to South Florida. The event will mark Downtown Miami’s new art night: Galleria “A World Seen through Art.” Art lovers may come and experience a digital art exhibit which will kick off the new art movement in Downtown Miami featuring an array of talent. Kicking off the series will be a handful of renowned artists: Carlos A. Navarro, Mano, David Fonseca and Carla Fache. The evening will also feature a cocktail reception courtesy of Chivas 18 between 8:00-10:00pm. This event is the first of its type and an effort to provide a platform for local artists to showcase amazing work via Mia at Biscayne’s technology. Partners for this event include: Leukemia Foundation, Creative Children Therapy,  Welcome Channel, Soul of Miami Mag, Next Miami, 880TheBiz. The event will take place every Tuesday at Mia and local artists are encouraged to participate. For more information: lmsantana@creativasgroup.com.

Wednesday December 2, 2009 Art takes a different form as Mia at Biscayne and Ema Savahl Couture present: “When Art Becomes Wearable,” a collection embellished with CRYSTALLIZED™ Swarovski Elements. VIP guests will enjoy a reception courtesy of Chivas 18 between 7:30 and 10:00pm. Partners for this event include Star Media, Lamborghini Miami and Venue Magazine. For more information: cgonzalez@miabiscayne.com.

Tuesday December 8, 2009 Blackstone and Mindstorm would like to invite professionals and proprietors of Miami nightlife venues and bars to a launch event commencing at 2.00pm through 5:00pm. Mindstorm brings surfaces and spaces to life with a range of innovative, multi-touch and interactive solutions. Now Mindstorm has entered the USA with a new Value Added Partner, Blackstone, and a new reference customer, Mia at Biscayne, in Miami, Florida. The event will serve as a showcase, and tutorial on interactive surfaces, and provide an opportunity to see the most unique, advanced products in action while learning more about how they can increase a venue’s revenue and profit. What does this mean? With iPhone like precision and features, and able to detect hundreds of touch points, hanging out at the bar will never be the same. Guests can see how the iBar allows customers to make their own drinks on the interactive surface and enables club owners to up sell and cross sell other products. Currently, customers are seeing margin increases of 20-25%.
Mia at Biscayne also features the Mindstorm Eclipse interactive wall. This is a curved wall, and these unique capabilities have generated television and print coverage for Mia at Biscayne and made the venue a “must see” hotspot in Miami. To view one piece of coverage: http://www.aubreyaquino.com/2009/09/mia-biscayne/. The launch event will feature the following agenda: a firsthand experience of Mia at Biscayne and their benefits from using Mindstorm’s interactive surfaces as well as an introduction to Blackstone and their nation-wide sales and service capabilities, a presentation on Mindstorm’s newest products (Vortex, Aurora and and Supercell), customer case studies in hospitality, retail and exhibitions/events and finally a demo of new software for self-ordering and “mix your own” drinks. For more information: adurand@blackstoneonline.com
Located in the heart of Downtown Miami, Mia at Biscayne was created as a reflection of the warmth, and diversity Miami represents. A tantalizing blend of color, mixed layout, bold fixtures, and the highest quality of audio visual capability, the venue is a culmination of four unique concepts intricately meshed to comprise one entertainment complex. Lounge, restaurant, sidewalk café and club, this location was created with the guest in mind. During the holidays, Mia will open its doors also featuring special signature cocktails (just for the season) as well as delicious creations by Executive Chef Gerdy Rodriguez. Complete with the highest standard of culinary elements, the menu at Mia was created to reflect all that is Miami, its people and picturesque landscape. When guests dine at Mia they will experience “concept dining” at its best. The location and menu were designed to create a full visual and palate-pleasing experience that will provoke social intimacy and conversation. Mia is where a potpourri of hues, spices, flavors, and cultures meet, as is Miami. http://www.miabiscayne.com.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
CARLA FACHE
Born in Santiago, Chile, on May 14,1977.
Since the age of four her drawings reflected her creative mind, allowing her to stand out from the rest of her peers. Since 2001, she has being a Miami-Based artist. Her command of color and texture, together with her continuous exploration of the basic elements and the energy behind them, distinguish her work. Carla has developed her own language in painting, throughout the combination of color, textures, angles, energy and soul. Her work addresses mind, heart and the invisible to the senses through a lens of continuous vibrations exchange. Fache has been pouring her soul prolifically on canvas ever since and invites the viewer to enjoy the experience, feel the energy and see the beauty.
“…My imagination travels to non-existing dimensions that I best describe through a process of layering. When I paint, I feel as if I am hypnotized by colors and textures, all of which will create soft, thin layers that hide or reveal a mark of an unspoken feeling, emotion, or thought…” Carla Fache .

VALENTINA BROSTEAN
Born on October 24th, 1983, in the town Novi Sad, Serbia.
I have always had an eye for the strange beauty in the grotesqueries of life; This appreciation is now very evident in work that I am making. Inspired by the relationship between dreams, natural world and the emptiness of consumer culture, between safe childhood playing to everyday marks of reality I bring and create a new type of creatures in my imaginary world. It is a whole range of characters from the ones in darker corners of the streets of soulless cities to the safe and pure creatures from imagination in my wonderland trying through them to prove that I have never grown up, or at least have never lost touch with my innocent childhood self. My body of work is built of this melancholy interaction between man-made status symbols and frozen moments of the utopian childhood memories. In my work I often flirt with different typefaces, superimposing pieces of print on top of my illustrations, or using them as part of the drawings. I often use draws in black ink on top of these collages, using all kind of hand written scribbles often, which pull the focus of the work back from the adult world to the realms of childhood. This experimenting with more text and new techniques led me to emerging of very personal style. The characters i paint may seem like some creatures from another dimension, real but unreal, sometimes very closely connected with childhood, playful and inventive, sometimes abandoned and tragically sad and full of misery. But i think they are simply us, modern society without it’s masks, without the fake presentations that make us acceptable to whatever group we are a part of. Yet the only place where we are truly revealed the way we really are is one from the inside. We all share feelings of fear and loneliness. We all sometimes feel ugly and insecure. If you examine my work closely, you might come to the realization that my creatures are really kind of self portraits, set in a fantastical landscapes of imaginary world which echoes of her own… a bitter, yet sweetly coated prescription for modern life.

AMOS MILLER
Born in Cleveland, Ohio, USA in 1962 Amos Miller’s paintings are not what you would call “comfortable”. Heavy figures lacking specific facial expressions strike odd postures and are sometimes pushed off the canvas without due caution. FLat, indistinct backgrounds yield an otherworldly quality to the work. And yet, one can’t help but be continuously drawn to Miller’s pieces. The bold colors, the unusual perspective, the eerie familiarity of the scene depicted- all of these keep the eye glued to the canvas and the mind ever questioning.”
“Amos Miller is one of the most interesting young painters of Miami. In his paintings the present USA reality appears clear, investigated and unbelievably rich with contradictions. The artist is not afraid of plunging the knife’s blade into the evils that his world, which is partially ours too by now, is suffering. From the scenes of war to the artificial legs of veterans, from the urban guerillas of rival gangs to the scenes of metropolitan desolation; the climate of a society torn by everyday life, sometimes even dismayed. All elements live together and spread on the big canvas. In his latest works, mainly diptychs and triptychs, there are groups of people who, even if in motion, dominate the scenes as static and monumental figures, waiting for a possible solution of the psychological-existential status. Colors are bright when the scenes full of pathos require it, or they are watercolors when the artist prefers to give prominence to the figurative aspect; his strokes are darker when expressionist memories come back or slightly marked out when the landscape is more lyric.”

ABOUT THE GALLERY
Fache Arts & Amy Alonso Gallery is dedicated to exhibiting Abstract art by Carla Fache as well as national & international artist. Focusing on modern and contemporary artists from Latin America, North America and Europe.

Right in the middle of the Wynwood Art District and catty-cornered from Scope Miami at the corner of 21st Street, Gallery Schuster from Berlin has opened a temporary gallery location during Miami’s winter art fair season to show three exhibitions with promising positions from Germany’s hottest art place.
After six successful years of participation in Miami’s art fairs, Gallery Schuster considered 2009 just the right timing to renew their commitment to this location and bring real exhibitions into a real gallery.
With their two galleries Schuster and Schuster Photo they have been an integral and constituting factor in the contemporary art scene of reunified Germany. This is underpinned by more than 200 exhibitions and over 50 participations in various art fairs around the globe. An intense network and cooperation with major museums and prominent collectors ensures a global footprint and regular interaction with the trend-setting leaders in the contemporary art scene.
According to New York Times, art quartier Heidestrasse in Berlin, right beside Berlin’s museum for contemporary art, Hamburger Bahnhof, ranks high under the world’s leading art spots. This is where the two Schuster galleries are located, in direct neighborhood to Arndt & Partner, Haunch of Venison or Hamish Morrison.
Gallery Schuster started their Miami presence on November 14th with a solo show from Berlin based painter Jens Hausmann that has already received a very positive recognition amongst the local art community.
In parallel to the Miami art fairs, Gallery Schuster will present “NEXTBERLINGENERATION”, an inspiring group show of young and upcoming artists from Germany’s art capital. This show will present a mix of all media, including sculptures, objects, installations, photography, video and also painting. Contributing artists will be Benjamin Dewor, Xenia Fink, Julia Freisleben, Gerit Koglin, Marcel Kröner, Juliane Eirich, Lina Faller, Andreas Geisselhardt, Karen Irmer, Jangyoung Jung, Florian Langmaack, Oliver Pietsch, Marek Schovanek and Kestutis Svirnelis.
This show will be accessible from Monday, November 30th until December 19th with an official opening reception on Thursday, December 3rd from 6:00 – 10:00 p.m.

Art Basel Week 2009
Claudia Calle Studio Grand Opening
Winner of two honorific mentions in the 2009 International Photography Awards
December 2nd – December 5th
Miami based Colombian photographer and mix media artist Claudia Calle is getting ready to open her new studio in the Wynwood Art District (2722 NW 2 Ave) with a series of events that will run through out Art Basel week. The talented artist is being supported by distinguished sponsors like Fabrika Miami, Viewpoint Art, Iniciativa Colectiva, Groovalizacion Internet Radio, Don Q Rum, Aguila Beer, Pinord and Marquez d Vizhoja, among others.

Claudia will exhibit for the first time her latest collection “Republic of China”, where she portraits Chinese fascinating culture as well as its special socioeconomic reality. Claudia Calle enjoys experimenting with photography; painting and mixing elements over different and non – conventional materials and this technique is applied with perfection in this magnificent collection. The public will also be able to enjoy the series “Living in Silence” and “Between Frontier: The Longneck Story” which grant Claudia two honorable mentions in the 2009 International Photography Awards. The pieces were chosen among over 20,000 photography’s sent from all over the world.

The full schedule of events is posted at www.claudiacalle.com or www.fabrikalink.com

Claudia Calle is an eclectic artist who photographs by instinct capturing unusual moments and giving us genial art, reflect of her heightened life philosophy. She has a passion for traveling and capturing the lifestyle and culture of the places she visits and her work is the result of the fusion between spontaneity and a conscientious study of the social and cultural phenomenon that she perceives at her surroundings.

In her own words she explains “Through the creative process something wonderful happens. My mind, eyes, hands and spirit align and without premeditation, in a magical second, I capture the essence of the people and things that are in front of me. The final result is always perfect because it comes from a spontaneous act. I enjoy experimenting with photography, painting and mixing elements over different and non – conventional materials. In my work I use symbols as part of the human occultism with the purpose of spreading and protecting the truth.”

“Jewelry Salon” was born out of a desire to expose new ideas that merge design, art and fashion to our Miami as well as international audience that descend upon the city every December.

Some of the editions for ‘Jewelry Salon’ have been especially made in collaboration with NDS.
The “Designer ” section of the Salon, is a sample of pieces that best reflect new ideas in design and process, made by emerging and established contemporary labels, originating from the Netherlands, Paris, Berlin, London, Miami and NY among others.

Nektar De Stagni Shop (NDS) is a concept store directed by clothing and jewelry designer Nektar De Stagni. The store functions both as a boutique and showroom space for NDS label as well as special projects and organized events by invited artists and designers.

About:
Educate Tomorrow, Corp. is an international, nonprofit, certified 501(c)(3) organization. All over the world, poverty denies children, as well as adults, the promises of a better tomorrow. Forgotten by society and social welfare programs, children born into poverty are trapped in a cruel and often violent cycle that frequently continues for generations. Lacking the inspiration, confidence, knowledge, and means to change, entire families are lost to the cycle of hopelessness.

Educate Tomorrow believes that the best way to end the cycle of poverty is through education. Our mission is to make education an attainable goal for the most disadvantaged in our world, so that all may be afforded the possibilities that can be achieved through learning. We strive to reach out to these individuals and provide them inspiration, guidance, and support and lead them on the path of life-long learning.

Educate Tomorrow’s primary mission in the US is to provide one-on-one educational mentors to foster care children that are turning 18 and “aging out” of the system. Since its founding in 2003, Educate Tomorrow has successfully implemented its mentoring programs, education programs and life skills camps across the nation. Additionally, it has reached internationally by continuing to support the work of it’s founders who established one of the first local language primary schools, adult literacy programs and boarding schools in the remote and impoverished village of Kabey Fo in Niger, West Africa.

GRAFFITI GONE GLOBAL
SUSHISAMBA Presents Largest Exhibition of International Street Art in Miami
During Art Basel Miami Beach / December 4 – 6, 2009

Graffiti Gone Global, presented by SUSHISAMBA, will take place December 4-6th , 2009 during Art Basel Miami Beach. Curated by James and Karla Murray, authors of best-selling titles Store Front-The Disappearing Face of New York, Miami Graffiti, Broken Windows and Burning New York, the exhibition will feature a selection of work from today’s top street artists. This groundbreaking exhibition, set to take place in a 4,000 square foot venue in the Midtown Arts District, will be the largest of its kind in Miami. The opening VIP preview will take place on Thursday, December 3, 2009 from 7 PM to 9 PM at 3252 NE 1st Ave, Suite 101, Miami, FL 33127.

Exhibiting artists include: 131 Projects (Argentina), Aiko Nakagawa (Japan), Armogedon 2057 (Armenia), Billi Kid (Colombia), Crome (Miami), Cycle (NYC), David Cooper (NYC), Doze Green (NYC), Ewok One 5MH (NYC), Flip (Brazil), Ghost aka Cousin Frank (NYC), Jana Joana (Brazil), Lady Pink (Ecuador), Nina (Brazil), Shiro (Japan), Smael (Brazil), Sofia Maldonado (Puerto Rico), Suiko (Japan) and Vitché (Brazil).

GGG will also have live graffiti battles during the exhibition with SHIRO, CYCLE, CROME, 131 PROJECTS, SOFIA MALDONADO, DAVID COOPER, BILLI KID, ARMOGEDON 2057, JANA JOANA, VITCHÉ, and SMAEL. The battle will take place directly outside the exhibition space at 3252 NE 1st Avenue, Suite 101 Midtown Miami. Spray Paint provided by 004 Connection:

Reaching beyond the typical white walls of an art fair, SUSHISAMBA has commissioned Miami-based architect HOX (Douglas Hoekzema) to design a sprawling, Brazilian-inspired favela structure for Graffiti Gone Global. HOX’s exhibition design consists of interlocking components of wood and steel that may be detached and sold as separate units, some of which will bear a signature graffiti piece. In addition, custom furniture designed by the several of the participating artists will be available for purchase.

Shimon Bokovza, concept developer of SUSHISAMBA restaurants, Sugarcane Lounge and Graffiti Gone Global, along with partners Danielle Billera and Matt Johnson, has consistently demonstrated his support for street artists. In addition to producing and underwriting previous exhibitions such as GINZATROPICALIA, he has commissioned site-specific street art in SUSHISAMBA restaurants throughout the country. The recently opened Sugarcane Lounge in Las Vegas, NV features work from Graffiti Gone Global’s Brazilian artist “FLIP” Felipe Yung.

“Bringing art to SUSHISAMBA is something that is a natural evolution in our whole concept and experience,” said Bokovza. “We would only call upon the best talent to execute a dream that was sparked with the inception of Art Basel.”

About James & Karla Murray
For the last 15 years, married authors and photographers, James and Karla Murray have been documenting the streets of New York and Miami, publishing three best-selling books on the graffiti scene, Miami Graffiti (Prestel Publishing 2009), Broken Windows (Gingko Press 2002) and Burning New York (Gingko Press 2006). Faithfully documenting the generations- old stores and shops of New York’s neighborhoods resulted in their critically acclaimed book, STORE FRONT-The Disappearing Face of New York released by Gingko Press in 2009. Their photographs and articles have appeared in numerous publications, including The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Stern, Mass Appeal, and Time Out New York. James and Karla Murray were also the subjects of numerous documentary programs, “Around Town with Cat Greenleaf” on WNBC TV in May 2009, “NY Style” and “NY Streets” on NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation) in April 2009 and February 2007.

About Fountain:

Fountain was launched in March 2006 in New York in an effort to leverage support for independent galleries overlooked by the larger, corporate-sponsored art fairs. The name “Fountain” is a nod to Marcel Duchamp’s controversial sculpture which shook up the art world when it was rejected by the Society of Artists’ exhibition in 1917.

Similarly, in defiant contrast with The Armory Show, Art Basel Miami Beach, Pulse, Scope and the numerous other international art fairs, Fountain has received wide public support and critical acclaim for its experimental slant favoring large, open and ambitious installation spaces. In form and spirit, the artwork exhibited at Fountain reflects the avant-garde attitude of the Dada art movement, while attracting the attention of the international clientele and top collectors who attend the more traditional fairs.

Artnet – the most widely read art site on the web – describes Fountain: “Likeability and chutzpah used to be what art was about. That, and a little guerrilla mentality, which you had at Fountain in spades. This is the place where you reminisce about the good old days, when you did it yourself, when inspiration and magic struck like a bolt from the blue.”

KaBe Contemporary Presents José Antonio Hernández Diez: Recent Work
First Solo Exhibition in Miami
On View December 1, 2009 – January 15, 2010
Opening Reception: Tuesday, December 1, 7-9pm
KaBe Contemporary
123 NW 23 Street, Miami, FL 33127
www.kabecontemporary.com

This winter, KaBe Contemporary will present José Antonio Hernández Diez: Recent Work, the Venezuelan artist’s first solo exhibition in Miami on view from December 1, 2009 through January 15, 2010. This exhibition presents new work in progress from José Antonio Hernández Diez and will evolve as it travels to new venues. After its presentation at KaBe Contemporary this exhibition will travel to Periférico Caracas among other venues in 2010. This show, which opens to coincide with Art Basel Miami Beach (December 3-6 2009), features the artist’s most recent work, a photography installation, reflecting the sentimental side of human beings. People who were touched by a personal tragedy, perhaps the loss of a loved one due to everyday crime, and seek some some sort of consolation or closure. His work explores time travel and the possibility to say one last goodbye or undo facts, such as death, thus contributing to a more humane and happy society.

José Antonio Hernández Diez began his artistic career at the end of the eighties. His early works are characterized by a strong emotional undercurrent. Among his most important works at this time were Anabel Lee (1988) and Houdini (1989). In the nineties his works reflected religious and socio-economic criticism. Vas pa’l cielo y vas llorando (You go to heaven and you go crying,1992) and In God we Trust (1990) condemn the economic and social inequalities between the United States and Latin America. At the end of the nineties his work began to speak about how certain products are consumed as social branding. La hermandad (The Brotherhood, 1994, Fundación la Caixa Collection, Barcelona) was a remarkable piece from that series. In the next decade his work began taking a much larger scale in the form of sculptural pieces – everyday objects blown out of proportion to reveal new uses and content. He also began to explore photography. He produced a series using the initials on tennis shoes to spell out the name of famous philosophers.

José Antonio Hernández Diez’ childhood fascination for machines made him develop many works that created repetitive movements with no beginning or end. His first piece to employ this kind of machine was Gran Patriarca (Grand Patriarch, 1993, The Ella Fontanals-Cisneros Collection, Miami). His solo exhibition at Galeria Elba Benitez, Madrid titled Revolutions Per Minute (2006) depicted 4 installations featuring, among other elements, his shirt and jeans being grabbed by a machine making them dance to the rhythm of its mechanical dictator. The artist deals with man’s weaknesses and unfulfilled desires. My Fucking Dreams featured a shirt hanging high on the wall caught by a machine trying to drag it down to the ground. Dreams gradually fade before the gentle, yet persistent machine.

José Antonio Hernández Diez’ extensive work enjoys great international acclaim. His work has been presented in solo shows at Galeria Elba Benitez, Madrid (2006), at the Sala Mendoza, Carcas (2005), at the New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York (2003), among others. His group shows and biennials include, among others, Zones de Risc, Caixaforum Barcelona, Madrid, 2008; La struttura della sopravivenza (The Structure of Survival), 2003, 51 Biennale de Venezia; Ultra Baroque: Aspects of Post Latin American Art, 2001, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Da Adversidade Vivemos, 2001, Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris; In Site San Diego 1997, San Diego; Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA), Miami, 1996; Universalis, 1996, XXIII International Biennial of São Paulo; Biennial of Habana 1994; and Cocido y crudo, 1994, Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid.

Art Bloggers Panelize at Art Miami 2009 12/5/09

ART BLOGGERS PANELIZE AT ART MIAMI 2009
Panel to be held Saturday, December 5th 11:00am to 2:00pm
In the Midtown Miami Arts District

Art Bloggers @, an organization founded by Sharon Butler and Joanne Mattera in 2007, is hosting a panel discussion at Art Miami on Saturday, December 5th from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm. Entitled, “Beyond Basic Blogging: Carving Our Niche in the Blogosphere,” the panel will discuss developments in art blogging from the past year. Participating panelists include: Sharon Butler, Thomas Hollingworth, Paddy Johnson, Carolina A. Miranda, and Hrag Vartanian. Joanne Mattera will be the moderator. The event will be held in the Art Miami Pavilion on Midtown Boulevard (NE 1st Avenue) between NE 31st and NE 32nd Streets.

With conventional print media in decline, art blogging has filled an unexpected niche. Armed with free or low-cost web hosting and a raft of photographs and videos from tiny cameras (sometimes even cell phones), art bloggers are posting reviews, reports, interviews, opinions, advice, links, and Tweets. Bloggers are not The New York Times. And that’s precisely their power. In an art world chronically short on coverage, they are covering events – often from an artist’s perspective – with a democratic and regional take on who, what and where. The best of the art bloggers have carved out identities with defined points of view, good writing, and you-are-there pictures.

About the Panelists:
Sharon Butler, an artist and writer, maintains the art blog Two Coats of Paint, and writes for The Brooklyn Rail. In July 2009, she started @ Bushwick & Main, an online photographic sketchbook that features iPhone notations from her wandering art practice.

Thomas Hollingworth is a graduate of London Guildhall University who now lives and works in Miami. In addition to teaching and coordinating exhibitions on behalf of Miami Dade College he is the editor of Artlurker, a Miami based contemporary art blog that he founded in 2008. By documenting local, national and international cultural subjects and involving the local community for the local community Artlurker functions as both resource and a platform representative of the relative accessibility of Miami’s art scene.

Paddy Johnson is Art Fag City.

Joanne Mattera is a studio painter and occasional curator who maintains the Joanne Mattera Art Blog to record and share what she’s seeing in the New York galleries, at the art fairs, and in galleries and studios around the country. Though the blog’s description is “Guaranteed Biased, Myopic, Incomplete and Journalistically Suspect,” she is in fact journalistically responsible (though, OK, she’s biased toward painting and sculpture). She recently instituted Marketing Mondays, a weekly feature that helps emerging and midcareer artists navigate the art world.

Carolina A. Miranda is a freelance writer and editor based in New York City, where she contributes articles on travel and culture to a variety of national and regional media, including ArtNews, nytimes.com, Fast Company, Travel + Leisure and Time magazine. She is also a contributor to Lonely Planet guidebooks, having covered destinations such as Costa Rica, Mexico and Peru for the company. Last fall, she was named one of eight fellows in the USC Annenberg/Getty Arts Journalism Program for her cultural blog C-Monster.net, which, among other media, has received mentions in the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times. She lives in New York City.

Hrag Vartanian is a New York-based writer and critic. His work has appeared in the Art21 blog, the Brooklyn Rail, the New York Foundation for the Arts Current, Huffington Post and Modern Painters. He writes a street art column named Re:Public, which will soon be part of his latest project, hyperallergic (subtitled “sensitive to art and its discontents”).

About Art Bloggers @:
Art Bloggers @ is an ad hoc project founded by Sharon Butler and Joanne Mattera. Recognizing that artists and art bloggers need an opportunity to connect in real time and space, Butler and Mattera organize blogger gatherings at events in Miami and New York City.

About Art Miami:
Art Miami is the city’s longest running contemporary art fair and considered one of the most important venues for modern and contemporary art in the U.S. It is scheduled to take place December 2-6th in the Midtown Miami Arts District, adjacent to the Miami Design District and Wynwood Arts District, and will feature works from more than 80 national and international contemporary art galleries.

Design Miami/ 2009
Design Miami/ is the global forum that brings together the most influential dealers, collectors, designers, curators and critics from around the world in celebration of design culture and commerce. Inspired by the galvanizing effect of Art Basel Miami Beach, the founders of Design Miami/ set out to create a design fair unlike any other that came before. They envisioned a new commercial and cultural forum that would capture the thriving general interest in design and elevate appreciation for limited-edition, experimental and historically significant design work, presented within an energetic, visually striking environment. No other design fair had ever attempted such a feat. From its inception, Design Miami/ was intended to be more than just a marketplace for high-end design.Two unique shows are held each year: Design Miami/, every December in Miami, and Design Miami/ Basel every June in Basel, Switzerland.

At the core of the Design Miami/ forum is a marketplace for limited-edition design, amid which the most reputable international design galleries present curated exhibitions of museum-quality furniture, lighting and objets d’art, attracting the highest level of private and public collectors of historical and contemporary design. The galleries invited to exhibit in Design Miami/ deal mainly in exceptional design objects from the advent of Modernism (circa 1900) to the present day, with select galleries specializing in outstanding 18th and 19th century antiques. Design Miami/ favors objects that contribute to the discourse of design history, vanguard contemporary culture and sophisticated design collecting.

This December, Design Miami/ introduces a new layer of programming dedicated to finger-on-the-pulse fresh and experimental design.
Design On/ Site showcases small-scale yet high-level exhibitions of new work by individual designers or studios. These focused exhibitions provide an impactful snapshot of the designer’s vision, situating the new work within the larger contexts of the designer’s overall career and within contemporary design culture.
Design On/ Site provides a platform for contemporary design innovation by supporting the relationships between patrons and creatives that drive the production of limited-edition design.

Durban Segini Art Basel Week Opening 11/30/09

Posted on    by

miltonBecerra
Mr. and Mrs. Cesar Segnini cordially invite you to the opening reception and to meet the artist
MILTON BECERRA ALE’YA / (LIBro de las verdades escritas)

Monday November 30, from 7 to 10 pm
at 3072 SW 38 Ave.
Miami, Fl 33146

Milton Becerra has an original, distinctive and personal language, having a truly surprising power of renewal and revival: consistent with his artistic conviction, his own manner of assuming artistic creation.

The works gathered in this exhibition share this exceptional condition. Reference to myths of Wayúu ethnicity, the elements of natural landscape and the manifestation of a geometric rationalism coexist in them without conflict, articulated under the principles of harmony and proportion.

Milton Becerra is probably the most fruitful and prolific Venezuelan plastic artist of his generation. His vast production comprises practically all the artistic means and procedures used in worldwide contemporary plastic research.

He allows himself to look back once and again to his own steps, revisiting his constant aesthetic concerns, taking up again some of his initial ideas in order to, upon redimensioning them, offer us a constantly new, unpublished work as far as his proposals are concerned and endowed with captivating beauty and strength.
His rock assemblies on a plane surface, observed through a scheme of dense knots, carried out by means of the adaptation of a metric and constructivist disposition, change these works into a sort of homage to kinetics, conceived by the use of icons and gestures belonging to his own artistic discourse, as are the rocks, ropes and knots. Indeed, in these works – as in all of Becerra’s artistic works – the common denominator seems to be the precise domain of space and its expression in aesthetic, poetic and symbolic terms.
A dense and closed network of threads, changes into a transparent veil, in an almost pictoric glaze, that allows the objects it holds to be seen against a neutral background: rocks, pieces of wood, ritual objects and weapons of the Yekuana Culture, solitaires, can be seen suspended in space, dialoguing in the abyss and composing a truly visual poetry. These works, holders of a unique symbolic force, refer one to a primitive, pristine, tribal world, to contents having a universal nature, with those that suggest the meaning of feminine and masculine sexual organs.
The installation Línea continua (Continuous Line) is a work overflowing with symbolic meanings and resonance. A single uninterrupted thread comes out of the wall, holds a rock and returns to its original location, repeating the operation an endless amount of times. This thread acts as a line (a structural unit of bidimensional plastic expression) that traces a geometric design on the white wall, but that is detached from same and is projected in tridimensional space. Thus, the same continuous line keeps the rock (of which one fancies a rocky insect trapped in a giant spider’s web), in suspension and levitation, creating a deeply metaphoric space denoting what is sacred, mystical, and spiritual. Adolfo Wilson
The exhibition runs until January 31, 2010.

CALIX GUSTAV GALLERY CELEBRATES THE DEBUT OF GRIT
ALONG WITH MONITORING ART DURING ART BASEL MIAMI BEACH

WHAT/WHO: Calix Gustav Gallery is pleased to announce the launch of its newest group exhibition “Grit: to endure a trying situation and continue on without complaint,” along with “Monitoring Art,” a collaboration of video installations with O Cinema. In honor of the exhibition’s debut and in celebration of Art Basel Miami Beach, the gallery will host two receptions – one with Grit’s featured artists, including Yanelis Lopez, Jonathan Stein, Carl Pascuzzi, Klaus Guingang and Charles Chase on Tuesday, December 1, 2009 from 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and another for O Cinema on Saturday, December 5, 2009 from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

Grit will feature an array of photography, sculptures, light installations and mixed media exploring the mundane, gritty, sordid and glamorous side of Miami’s Wynwood Arts District. Highlights include Yanelis Lopez’s Soap and Potatoes Series, an exploration of the manipulation of simple, everyday items; Jonathan Stein’s photography portraying the hardcore reality of social intolerance toward the transgendered community; Carl Pascuzzi’s flashy depiction of an artist’s desperation for attention and accolades; Spunk and The Orange Kittens’ shocking “Casting Couch” represent the deplorable human lack of morality; Charles Chace’s sleek, industrial-inspired metal pieces; as well as Klaus Guingang’s thrilling marquee-like light installation “MAFIART.”

Monitoring Art will showcase the talent of burgeoning and established artists working in video and the moving image, including Clifton Childree, Xavier Cortada, Dinorah de Jesus Rodriguez, JC Espinosa, Christina Pettersson, Alette Simmons-Jimenez, Nikki Rollason, Russell Chartier and Paul J. Botelho. The exhibition will also feature the lush work I’m Not the Girl Who Misses Much by international artist Pipilotti Rist which depicts pop culture’s repetitive strategies and absurd representations of women in music videos.

Eat Your Art Out is a movement toward bringing in emerging artists to push the envelope outside mainstream art and make it socially warranted in today’s art scene. Artists from a variety of artistic genres have collaborated together for one week to exhibit a tattoo and graffiti fusion of diverse mediums presented on canvas, multimedia, sculptures, installations and photography. Participating artists include, Chet Zar, Edgar Velasquez, Crome, Abstrk, Nineteen, AS1, Quake, Evils, Dekal, Gere, Juan Velasquez, Michael D. Walsh, Billi Kid, Joshua Noblock, Ryan Mackeen, Seth Mathurin, Michael Lee Suarez and John Vale. The exhibition includes a collaboration with various other art groups including Primary Flights, Super Rad Toys and Modani Furniture. “The common goal here is to showcase subversive artworks and make a statement in today’s conventional art scene,” says Evils of the Miami Style Graffiti (MSG) Cartel.
Eat Your Art Out opens Thursday, December 3 through Sunday, December 6. A reception will be held every night beginning at 8 p.m. at Eazy Street Galley located at 3501 NW 2nd Avenue, Miami, FL 33127.

Susan Lee-Chun Everybody Suz-ercise final workout and Artist Talk 11/28/09

David Castillo Presents
Susan Lee-Chun’s
Everybody Suz-ercise! final work-out and Artist Talk

Please join us as the Suz-ercizers engage in their final work-out at the gallery on Saturday, November 28, 2 pm sharp. The work-out will be followed by an artist talk and brief question and answer session with Susan Lee-Chun.

David Castillo Gallery is proud to present Susan Lee-Chun’s first solo exhibition at the gallery, Everybody Suz-ercise! The artist has exhibited in three previous group shows at the gallery.

Lee-Chun continually investigates cultural stereotypes, as manifested in a narrative based on three individual performing egos: Sue, Sioux, and Su. The three “Suz” personify the strong contrast between these different perspectives and voices, and dialogue on the polarizing impacts of race and identity politics.

Performing as the three Suz over the years, Lee-Chun has manufactured their homes, sewed their clothes, partaken in their rituals, staged their interactions, and promoted their merchandise. As the combined symbolic entity, “Suz” develops an exciting new fitness wave, Suz-ercise. Everybody Suz-ercise! functions as an experience based on the familiar construct of the branded gym. The “faux-real” venture creates a subversive undertone about a company pitching an unrealistic and fantastical product/activity/lifestyle.

In this ongoing performance project of the last several years, Susan Lee-Chun creates a symmetrical illusion of reality, thereby breaking down the idea of hierarchies of identity, happiness, society, or fulfillment in general. The utopian vision sought in the current body of work is an extension of an entire literary and artistic genre that dates as far back as 1516 with Sir Thomas More’s novel Utopia. Susan Lee-Chun explores how perceived realities are themselves illusions, and how the audience can visualize new possibilities from the expected norm (paradigmatic shifts). In Everybody Suz-ercise! the artist accomplishes this through choreographed performances and multi-media sculpture and installation.

Susan Lee-Chun was born in Seoul, Korea and lives and works in Miami. In 2004, the artist received her MA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Since the summer of 2009, Susan Lee-Chun participated in two artist residences: the Bemis Center in Omaha, NE and Three Walls in Chicago, IL. Both residencies were instrumental in the development of the current body of work for Everybody Suz-ercise! She has exhibited widely in the U.S. and abroad. Her work is in public and private collections, including the Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami and Miami Art Museum.

Saturday 11/28/2009 – DANCE RITUAL with ‘LITTLE LOUIE’ VEGA hosted by Back Door Bamby
‘Little Louie’ Vega’s Dance Ritual is cast from a different mold than other parties in the City of Lights. Vega’s 5-hour solo sets are born out of all night marathons at Larry Levan’s Paradise Garage and David Mancuso’s Loft. Dance Ritual is a slowly-building crescendos of bumpy house music, Afro-Cuban influenced tribal rhythms, and fervent soulful vocals, climaxing with a crowd full of satisfied yet quizzical expressions, wondering where the night went, why the sun is out, and why their feet hurt so much.
I would recommend wearing some comfortable shoes.

THE BORSCHT FILM FESTIVAL ANNOUNCES ITS SIXTH ANNUAL EVENT AT THE OLYMPIA THEATER AT GUSMAN CENTER IN DOWNTOWN MIAMI

Miami, Florida – The Borscht Film Festival has grown. With the support of the Miami World Cinema Center it has become one of the strongest community film events in South Florida. The festival will take place Saturday November 28th at the Olympia Theater at Gusman Center in Downtown Miami (174 East Flagler Street, Miami, FL 33131). Doors will open at 7:00 PM, films will begin promptly at 8:00 PM. The event is free and open to the public.
Following past years format, the festival will feature the Borscht Select Short Films program consisting of short films submitted by Miami filmmakers under the age of thirty.
In an effort to support local creative talent, the festival will present the “CCCV Stories” a series of five short films commissioned by the Borscht Film Festival, and co-financed by the Miami World Cinema Center, from over 100 submissions. Based out of the MWCC, the Borscht Film Festival selected each film because it tells a different distinctly Miami story that takes place in a specific Miami neighborhood and was created entirely by emerging South Florida artists.
Following the Gusman Event will be the opening of the Oolite Visual Art Showcase, an art gallery located at 22 East Flagler St. Miami, FL 33131 that will showcase the best of Miami-based visual artists under the age of 30, and will feature live performances by local bands. The Oolite Visual Art Showcase will run through Art Basel.
The Borscht Film Festival will also host world-premiere screenings, lectures in partnership with the University of Wynwood (including a Michael Bay Symposium), and other events from November 28th through December 1st, however tickets to these events will only be announced and distributed on November 28th at the Gusman Center.
Together these events showcase Miami’s burgeoning local independent film scene, and is the place to see new works by emerging Miami filmmakers in a wholly original environment that will transform downtown Miami.
The Borscht Film Festival is possible due to generous support from the Miami World Cinema Center, DWNTWN, Downtown Development Authority, Miami-Dade Cultural Affairs, and many others.
To find out more, visit www.borscht.info or email contact@borscht.info or call 305-433-5848.

About the Borscht Film Festival
The Borscht Film Festival, started in 2004 by New World School of the Arts high school students, is a yearly event that believes in Miami’s potential to host a world-class independent film industry and are doing their part by inspiring collaboration between members of an idiosyncratic generation that was born in the 80’s and came of age with the city itself. By keeping this “Miami New Wave” of talent working on the city at least once a year, they believe they can build global interest for the wholly original film movement and keep filmmakers from abandoning Miami for larger markets. It is Borscht’s belief that Miami has the cinematic richness of character to compete with Woody Allen’s New York, Fellini’s Rome, or Godard’s Paris.
About Miami World Cinema Center
As the first non-profit film studio in Miami, MWCC’s mission is to provide tools for filmmakers and ensure an increased production of high quality films and digital media in South Florida. MWCC was one of the 31 recipients of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation Knights Arts Challenge Grant of $750,000 over four years. MWCC has been operating since January of 2009 from its offices in Wynwood under the direction of Patrick de Bokay and Joshua Miller. The cinema center develops programs in the areas of education, talent search, and communications and has a unique line-up of projects in various stages of production and development.

Cremata Gallery
The gallery is currently presenting the exhibition Diego de Souza + Luis Manuel Fernandez. A dialogue between the works of Diego de Souza and Luis Manuel Fernandez: one exhibition, two artists, one Argentine and one Cuban, two different ways of approaching art. Diego’s paintings, with his expressive use of color, light, transparency, and his free and imaginative strokes, comes very close to pure abstraction. In contrast with Luis Manuel’s sculptures: precise, figurative and full of symbolic realism. The exhibition is the dichotomy between two artists, but it’s also full of coincidences – both produce the type of work that we want to be surrounded with in our private and personal spaces: classy, ingenious, elegant. Come to the gallery this Cultural Friday’s evening to share a glass of wine and experience it all for yourself.

Burning Bridges Stash Gallery Art Basel 12/3-6/09

BURNING BRIDGES….
Stash Gallery brings its hugely popular and successful Under The Bridge show from the outside, in; 13artists will be featured in highly anticipated Stash Gallery show, Dec. 3-6

Rebelling against the traditional, typical and expected, 6 years ago, Evo Love and Romain Gateau rented a block of street meters from the city of Miami. Their vision? To create an open, outdoors art gallery literally under a bridge at 1st Street and NE 2nd Avenue in Miami’s Design District. Hanging art on walls they constructed, and providing music and refreshments, Love and Gateau managed to produce a fully developed show – branded, of course, Under The Bridge – that allowed Art Basel visitors and art collectors to browse, interact with artists and purchase all outside the confines of a gallery space or major fair. It was an exciting, powerful and sophisticated annual show, bold in its innovation and imagination.
This year Love and Gateau have moved Under The Bridge indoors, renamed it Burning Bridges, and will showcase 13 exciting and dynamic artists from South Florida and as far away as New York City. Burning Bridges is as edgy and comprehensive as their Under The Bridge show but now re-produced at their own Stash Gallery at 50th Terrace and NE 2nd Avenue.
“The innovation of Under The Bridge, and the amazing artists we represented, were the core components for the intense and quick growth of our annual Art Basel show,” notes Love. “This year we are thankful to have a gallery large enough to include a large range of artists whose work complements and balances each other. This is our best year yet!”
Local celebs and media are expected for the show, always a must-see during Art Basel. “We’ve always heard about Under The Bridge’s ‘cool’ factor,” says Gateau. “But that’s not as important to us as giving these incredible artists a forum to showcase their work. Moving the show inside this year brings everything to a new level.”
See Burning Bridges with artists, Sharon Pell, Joe Strasser, Joseph O’Neal, Brandon Fonville, Geoff Henshall, Steve Chellis, Eli Thompson, Evo Love, Sarcasmo, Julian Rodriguez, q u e v z, Jorge “ GWIZ” Viera, Sue Zola aka Glitter Art Diva, and Godofredo Gonnod, December 2-6, 2009, Stash Gallery.

Where Do We Go From Here?
Selections from La Colección Jumex
December 3, 2009 – March 14, 2010
Paul McCarthy (American, b. 1945), Propo-Miracle Whip, 1992, C-Print , Courtesy of Bass Museum

Where Do We Go From Here? Selections from La Colección Jumex explores one of the most important collections of contemporary art in Latin America. The exhibition is co-organized by the Bass Museum in Miami Beach and the Contemporary Arts Center, located in the Lois and Richard Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art, Cincinnati, Ohio, and Fundación/Colección Jumex based in Mexico. This will be the first time that this collection is shown in the United States.

Focusing on art as a cultural index, Where Do We Go From Here? highlights key aspects of La Colección Jumex. Juxtaposing inter-generational artists, as well as artists from or based in Mexico with international counterparts, the exhibition has four sections: art about art; art and urban anthropology; text in art; and a series of artist profiles.

Appropriation strategies are fundamental in contemporary art. Whether direct, part quotation or reference, artists such as Sherrie Levine, Louise Lawler, Richard Pettibone and Jonathan Monk have raised issues of utmost relevance regarding originality and authorship; the frameworks of art; gender; and mass media.

In recent years, the art scene in Mexico City has received international attention. Among the central issues that define art from the megalopolis is the use of urban culture as an art laboratory. A diverse grouping of works are presented and read through this lens, including art by Francis Alÿs, Carlos Amorales, Jenny Holzer, Abraham Cruzvillegas, Minerva Cuevas, Daniel Guzmán, On Kawara, Damian Ortega, Andy Warhol, and Kelley Walker.

Pia Lindman Face Act Performance at Gallery Diet 12/3,5/09

Posted on    by

face
Pia Lindman’s practice evolves around the themes of social context and space, as well as the performative aspect of making and experiencing art. Her interest in social space stems from studies in architecture, which eventually led her to study for a second master’s degree in art at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) with public art artists such as Dennis Adams and Krzysztof Wodiczko, and performance artist Joan Jonas.

Pia Lindman takes the tradition of site-specific art as a point of departure, while addressing social, political, and economic conditions of a site. She creates places for negotiation of diverse cultural, physical, and emotional knowledges : like Finnish sauna bathing tradition vs. American sensitivity to nudity. By artistic interventions into social contexts like the Public Sauna at P.S.1 in New York (2000), her goal is to provoke passerbys to perform and experience a particular social practice, bringing about a re-evaluation of notions of corporeality and public sphere.

Pia Lindman’s performance Face Act, is part of a larger body work that Lindman developed at the Humanoid Robotics Group at M.I.T. As Lindman reads aloud lines from a Simon Rich text, Drama students at M.I.T. use Pia Lindman’s face as their stage; pulling, poking, and pinching her face to create the corresponding facial expression. The students collective mind interpreting the text serves as an artificial intelligence, while their fingers serve as the actuators transforming this mind into action.

Pia Lindman will be performing Face Act at Gallery Diet during the week of Art Basel Miami Beach.

PERFORMANCE TIMES:
December 3rd, 2006 at 11:00 a.m

Art Basel Miami Beach 2009 The Oceanfront area Platform for artistic programs 12/3-6/09

Posted on    by

The Oceanfront area: Our new Platform for artistic programs
Dear Mr. Echols
The new Oceanfront area in Collins Park has been created as a platform for virtually all of Art Basel Miami Beach’s cultural programming. Situated directly beside the beach, the Oceanfront marks the point where the artworld interfaces with the broader public. We are delighted to have Creative Time, the legendary New York City-based public art organization, as a partner in the launching of this new dimension of Art Basel Miami Beach. Having solicited many proposals, Creative Time and Art Basel Miami Beach commissioned Los Angeles artist Pae White to create this “social space” .

Free of any admission charge, the Oceanfront – located at Collins Park, between 21st and 22nd Streets – offers visitors many opportunities. In the mornings, they can attend the discussion panels of the Art Basel Conversations series, featuring prominent figures from every artworld domain. And every night during Art Basel Miami Beach, the Oceanfront will feature at least one special event. The evening series will be inaugurated by the annual Art Loves Music concert on the beach; the following evenings feature the Art Perform program curated by Jens Hoffmann of the Wattis Institute, the Art Video program curated by Meredith Johnson of Creative Time and the Art Film evening curated by This Brunner. Rounding out the experience, the Oceanfront Cafe will offer visitors the possibility to have brunch in the morning, then light meals and refreshing drinks from dusk to midnight.
Oceanfront project by Pae White
For the 2009 premiere of the Oceanfront, Pae White will create an immersive and interactive cityscape that will provide a new experience with each visit. By day, large color blocks will dominate the landscape. At night, these color blocks transform into a shadowy group of buildings that house various merchants and performers. In addition to this labyrinth-like metropolis on the sand, White will design an open-air stage that will host the Art Video, Art Film, and Art Perform programs and Art Basel Conversations.

Born in 1963 in Pasadena, CA, Pae White graduated from Scripps College, Claremont and received her MFA from Art Center College of Design, Pasadena. White has exhibited internationally at institutions such as the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art, Scottsdale, Arizona (2008); Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington DC (2007); Contemporary Arts Center, Cincinnati, Ohio (2007); UCLA Hammer Museum, Los Angeles (2004). White was a featured artist in the Skulptur Projekte Münster, 2007 and in this year’s Venice Biennale.

Art Basel Conversations
Thursday, December 3 through Saturday, December 5, 10 – 11 am
As in previous years, the Art Basel Conversations will be inaugurated by the Artist Talk premiere, which this year features Chinese artist Ai Weiwei. The Art Basel Conversations are “Museum Directors: Change in Generation,” “Collector Focus: Latin America” and “The Future of the Museum: The Portable Museum.” There is time allotted after each Art Basel Conversation for the audience to engage with the panel in a more informal fashion.

“Museum Directors: Change in Generation” brings together the next generation of museum and institution directors to discuss their visions for the coming decades. In “Collector Focus: Latin America” prominent art collectors from Argentina, Brazil and Mexico explore the dynamic way in which Latin Americas’ collecting scene has grown and internationalized in the last decade. “The Future of the Museum: The Portable Museum,” will offer fresh insights on future models for exhibition-making.

Art Video
Thursday, December 3 and Saturday, December 5, 7 – 8.30 pm
Curated by Creative Time, the Art Video program includes discussions with the featured artists and curators.

Thursday, December 3, 7 – 8.30 pm
“Video Art and Mainstream Distribution”
Artist video is often created for and sited in pristine white box spaces, where there is a deliberateness to the viewing environment and the context of the work is clearly articulated. Tom Sachs and his collaborators the Neistat Brothers challenge this tradition through humorous, low-tech, do-it-yourself performances presented both in the gallery and outside it. Like Sachs and the Neistat Brothers, Marc Horowitz uses media outlets such as YouTube and network television to distribute his hilarious interventions throughout the United States. These artists are innovators in exposing mainstream audiences to artist video, and pushing the borders between conceptual practice and everyday experience.

Tom Sachs and The Neistat Brothers
“Waffle Bike”, 2008 (8:06), “Obstacle Course”, 2006 (3.32), “Space Program”, 2008 (12:09)
Marc Horowitz
“Bishop, CA”, 2009 (4:10), “Nampa, Idaho”, 2009 (3:10), “Craig, CO”, 2009 (4:02), “Wasenburg, CO”, 2009 (3:08), “Paradise, IN”, 2009 (2:10), “Ewing, KY”, 2009 (4:11)
Followed by a conversation with Casey Neistat and Marc Horowitz.

Saturday, December 5, 7 – 8.30 pm
“The Watcher and the Watchedˮ
Jill Magid, an artist who explores the personal boundaries of state surveillance, uses catalogued CCTV footage to construct film noir-like narratives with herself and her location as subject. Magid uses the tools of photographic evidence to explore the deeply conflicted condition of one’s loss of control. In her work the camera, and its operator, move from anonymous watcher to intimate participant. In Kon Trubkovich’s videos, the camera takes on an aggressive and controlling identity. Tackling the tension between freedom and captivity, the subjects of his work participate in Sisyphean activities that keep them from escaping their condition. Both Magid and Trubkovich navigate the borders between personal liberty and institutional restraint, implicating the viewer in the power dynamics presented in their work.

Jill Magid
“Trust”, 2004 (18:00), “Camera One Wester Park”, 2005 (11:00)
Kon Trubkovich
“Repeat Offender”, 2005 (11:07), “Ant Farm”, 2007 (9:54)
Followed by a conversation with Jill Magid and Kon Trubkovich.

Art Perform
Thursday, December 3 and Saturday, December 5, 9 pm
In its fifth year, Art Perform now features an intensified program of longer performances by rising international artists. This program will again be conceived by curator Jens Hoffmann, director of the CCA Wattis Institute, San Francisco. It will take place on Thursday and Saturday at 9 pm. The participating artists are Claire Fontaine, Simon Fujiwara, Loris Gréaud and Mario Garcia Torres, Kris Martin, and Kelly Nipper.

Thursday, December 3
9 pm – Simon Fujiwara
This autobiographical play, written and performed by the artist, restages his first encounter with a modern artwork, “Horizontal Stripe Painting” by abstract expressionist Patrick Heron, when he was 11 years old. Featuring a counterfeit reproduction of the original canvas as backdrop, Fujiwara’s play re-enacts multiple versions of this encounter, taking us on an increasingly absurd art-historical and personal journey told through the memories of a repressed pubescent boy.

9.30 pm – Kelly Nipper
With the physicality of sculpture, memory of film, body of a camera and mind of a crystallographer, Nipper’s performance suspends time and space by counterbalancing expressive movement with the process of assembling a human-scale icosahedron to examine the patterns of a hurricane.

10 pm – Kris Martin
Flemish artist Kris Martin has never performed before and does not think of himself as particularly talented in this form of artistic expression. His contribution to Art Perform will be an autobiographical monologue describing how he became an artist. Sitting somewhere between reality and fiction, confession and storytelling, Martin’s piece will revolve around key (and perhaps embarrassing) moments of his own upbringing that all of us have experienced in one way or the other.

Saturday, December 5, 9 pm
9 pm – Claire Fontaine
In this performance, the punch mannequin called a Body Opponent Bag (BOB) is installed on the stage and several professional fighters are invited to use a variety of methods to beat it, displaying a frightening use of physical force and aggression. While BOB is an anthropomorphic object constructed for the purpose of being beaten up, he also functions in this performance as a ready-made sculpture that becomes the catalyst for a projection of hatred.

9.30 pm РLoris Gr̩aud and Mario Garcia Torres
Using the film “Groundhog Day” (1993) as a starting point, this project is an intervention of repeating daily events, both almost unnoticeable and obvious, into the routine of the art show. Mimicking the film’s fictional phenomenon of a loop in space and time, the daily repetition of an odd sequence of events creates a sense that the show is re-lived over and over again each day, culminating in an onstage interview between Art Perform curator Jens Hoffmann and Phil, the character from “Groundhog Day”.

Art Film: “Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Radiant Child”
Friday, December 4, 8.30 pm
This year’s Art Film event features an exclusive work-in-progress sneak preview of the documentary feature film “Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Radiant Child,” preceded by a panel with a selection of participants, moderated by Bob Colacello. “Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Radiant Child” is directed by Tamra Davis and features a long and never-before-seen interview with Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-1988), shot shortly before his death. The (90-minute) documentary further comprises footage of Basquiat in his studio, interviews with approximately 50 people who knew him intimately, rare archival material and work by the artist. Art Film is curated by Zurich film connaisseur This Brunner.

Miguel Paredes to unveil The Manifestation of Cross-Over Art at Art Basel Miami Beach 2009

WHO / WHAT: Acclaimed Miami pop artist and urban impressionist, Miguel Paredes, will present his highly-anticipated exhibition, The Manifestation of Cross-Over Art: An Exhibit of New Media Genesis, during Art Basel Miami Beach 2009. The installation will take place at a pop-up gallery located at 412 Lincoln Road and will celebrate the launch of Art Basel with a grand opening reception on Wednesday, December 2, 2009 hosted by 944 Magazine. Cocktails will be provided courtesy of Leblon, an ultra-premium cachaça produced in Brazil, V Georgio Vodka, One Life Water and is catering provided by RA Sushi Restaurant and Sushi Samba.

The Manifestation of Cross-Over Art will be a multicolored demonstration utilizing mixed styles of art and media showcasing Paredes’ never-before-seen paintings and sculptures from his Digital Art and Los Niños collections. Throughout the exhibit, guests can expect to see fine art pieces as well as digital artwork; however, they will also be introduced to a modern genre, “cross-over art.” The pop artist’s trend-forward style will be exemplified in his most recent works and will capture the intriguing combination of classic fine art mixed with digital pieces resulting in riveting, eye-catching compositions.

“I am excited to show Miami Beach a new enthralling way of mixed, multi-media art! Art enthusiasts will experience a floor-to-ceiling explosion of brilliant, vibrant colors at The Manifestation of Cross-Over Art. My passion for Japanese animation, the 80s New York urban art movement and the works of renowned pop artist Peter Max have all been of great inspiration,” says Paredes.

“The Manifestation of Cross-Over Art will also be an exhibit about exploring media and pushing its boundaries, therefore, creating art catering to an even greater mass appeal,” says Paredes. Each individual piece of artwork will be presented in different types of media – the base or surface to which the paint is applied. State-of-the-art technology has been applied to materialize unique pieces of original artwork using metal, flat LED light displays, clay, canvas and many more mediums.

During the grand opening cocktail reception and through the remainder of the weeklong exhibition, collectors will have access to Paredes’ inaugural toy and figurine line including mini versions of the seemingly innocent, yet rebellious characters found in his numerous collections.

About Miguel Paredes
Paredes, a New York native, combines cutting-edge styles of street art, pop art and Japanese animation to create distinct, trend-forward pieces. Drawing inspiration from pop icons such as Andy Warhol and Keith Haring, he has created his own niche of street graffiti, landscape and pop art affording him the ability to singlehandedly crossover from street walls to creating decorative art. Over the years, Paredes took the Miami Beach art scene by storm, selling out numerous venues to become one of the most prosperous local artists. Paredes, who has been Miami Beach based for over two decades, acquired a private studio space on Lincoln Road to further expand his inspirational environment while simultaneously showcasing his works at local, national and international shows such as Art Basel.

Breakfast In The Park
Celebrate Art Basel with Michele Oka Doner at Breakfast in the Park
An official Art Basel Miami Beach event at The Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum

The Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum’s 7th annual Art Basel Miami Beach event, Breakfast in the Park, features internationally renowned artist Michele Oka Doner on Sunday, December 6 from 9:30 am to noon. Breakfast in the Park will include an informal talk by Michele Oka Doner, outdoor breakfast, and guided tours of The Sculpture Park at FIU and The Frost’s exhibitions including The Missing Peace: Artists Consider the Dalai Lama and work by Navjot Altaf and Eduardo del Valle & Mirta Gómez. This event is free and open to the public.

Michele Oka Doner, an internationally acclaimed artist and designer, has built a career that includes public art projects, monumental sculpture, furniture and jewelry. Celebrating organic forms and fueled by an appreciation of the natural world, particularly ocean life, she has also integrated the human figure as a subject in her works using bronze, wax, silver, clay, concrete, handmade paper and glass. Her artwork has been acquired by major museums and private collections including The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum in New York, the Art Institute of Chicago and the Musée des Arts Decoratifs at the Louvre. Oka Doner’s large scale installations can be seen locally at Miami International Airport, The Wolfsonian – FIU Museum, and an Art in State Buildings installation at Florida International University.

Breakfast in the Park draws hundreds of visitors each year, many of whom travel by bus from the Miami Beach Convention Center. County buses will be offered as free transportation again this year for Art Basel patrons and the general public. Buses will leave from the convention center for The Frost Art Museum at 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. and will return to the convention center following the event.

Human’s Shouldn’t Do Machine’s Work/Red Dot Lounge 12/3-6/09

Posted on    by

WHEN: December 3-6, 2009, Preview reception December 2, during the renowned Art Basel Miami Beach week.
WHERE: Red Dot Fair, Wynwood Art District, Miami inside the lounge of the 30,000 sq. ft. pavilion www.reddotfair.com
WHAT: Experience the lounge at Red Dot Fair curated by Eileen Braziel and designed by Armand Aubery.
ABOUT: “Humans Shouldn’t Do What Machine’s Do” based on current art installation artist’s influences in science and art.

DESCRIPTION:
Art Curator Eileen Braziel chose New Media artists who work with man-made materials and aesthetics as concept. The artwork is not the typical dark ended message surrounding punk, goth and sci-fi undertones that leave us in the mist of gloom and doom: Instead, the 400 sq. ft. lounge is full of machines that click and clang, move and illuminate with a result what is visually beautiful. There is something meditative about repetition, almost calming as listening to a Cagian prepared piano: Beyond the remains of our thought, the installation art in the lounge at Red Dot fair gives us something to look and grasp, and we are not left in the dust.
The lounge at Red Dot will house New Media art based on the observer’s participation: Federico Muelas’ video projection, and interactive video, Joel Hobbie’s LED installations from recycled metals from a science laboratory, Greg Caprnka’s live camera work is presented in LCD screen mocking a painting with an ornate frame, Sandro Del Rosario’s handpainted 16 MM film is presented in an antique writing box, Teri Yarbrow and Max Almy’s small LED video of a white dove inside ornate bird cages fill the lounge.

One can visit the space, have a cocktail and relax in an eclectic atmosphere designed by ARMAND AUBERY, Architecture & Interiors from Miami. Please join us during the hype of the art fair and charge yourself from the block’s band of familiars. Outdoors features sculptures by Beth Rekow “Skin” and Joel Hobbie “Theremin Project” where there LED are solar powered.

Sensory Overload
Exhibition Dates: November 28 – December 17
In its 2,600 square foot Main Gallery, BAC artists confront the idea of the overwhelming sensory qualities of Art Basel in Sensory Overload. Based on the traditional five senses- touch, hear, see, smell, and taste, BAC artists cross and blend these senses together to create an experience of a sequence of synesthetic encounters, attacking one sense and at the same time evoking another.
Curated by Lauren Wagner

5X7
The BAC presents a small works exhibition 5X7 in its Swenson Gallery. All of the work measures 5″ X 7″ or 7″ X 5″. The show will consist of a variety of media, from painting, drawing, sculpture, fiber art and on. There is sure to be something to please every aesthetic.
Patrons are encouraged to purchase these small, unique works of art at $100.00 each.
When a guest purchases a piece from this exhibition, a photo will be taken of them and their new purchase. The picture will then be hung on the wall in place of the piece, thus becoming part of the exhibition.

Social commentary on Exhibit at Palley Pavilion
at ArtBasel/Miami Beach, December 2009

“Kitchen Dreams” –
Works in Glass by Ricky Bernstein

Considered a social satirist and visual storyteller, studio glass artist Ricky Bernstein draws the viewer into his larger-than-life cartoon dramas – a true slice of Americana.

Berstein’s work has captured those moments of frustration with the minor mishaps of modern life in oversized vibrantly colored glass cartoon wall reliefs. His blown sheet glass of painted commercial glass combines aluminum, wood, plastic, acrylic paints, color pencils and other mixed materials to create assemblages that are humorous social satires.

One man plays tug of war with his dog over a shoe, another tries to untangle himself from a telephone cord, and a woman looks in despair at a clock as she struggles to clean a never-ending pile of dirty dishes. His hilarious characters are caricatures of overworked, overwhelmed and overbooked Americans.

On exhibit during ArtBasel Miami Beach at the Lowe Art Museum on the University of Miami campus, and sponsored by Myrna and Sheldon Palley and the Art Alliance for Contemporary Glass will be “Kitchen Dreams”, an exhibit comprised of pieces that remark, with tongue firmly in cheek, about overworked, overbooked, and overwhelmed Americans. Each piece has a story to tell.

Meet the glass artist Ricky Bernstein at a cocktail party on Thursday, Dec. 3.

Bernstein describes his character as “a slice of Americana, going about their daily lives with the barest degree of composure. As they round the next corner looking warily over their shoulder, they sigh, take a deep breath and wonder what could possibly happen next. Mostly the hang on for the big ride and hope for the best.”

Inspired by the wild activity at home with his wife and two young daughters, Bernstein’s work has an underlying humanity to which everyone can relate. The work of Red Grooms, Jack Levine and Gary Larson also have a profound affect on Ricky’s work, along with the sit-com world of 50’s television a time in which he was raised. Ricky also draws influence from such painters as Thomas Hart Benton, Reginald Marsh and Paul Cadmus. His narrative, collage-style wall reliefs have a distinct “pop-art” flavor.

Bruce Pepich, 20th century Curator of the Racine Art Museum says of Ricky Bernstein: “He makes us comfortable with amusing characters while simultaneously posing serious questions in these satirical comments on modern life. Whether parody, narrative or farce, the issues Bernstein poses are well worth our serious consideration.”

Bernstein’s work is widely collected throughout the U.S. and Europe, including the Corning Museum of Glass in NY, the Museum of Arts and Design, in NYC, and the Renwick Gallery in Washington, DC.

DECEMBER 6, 2009, 9:30 AM-NOON
Artist Tour: 9:30 am
Event is restricted to Upper Level Lowe Members and Art Basel VIP card holders and exhibitors

About The Myrna and Sheldon Palley Pavilion for Contemporary Glass and Studio Art at The Lowe Art Museum on the University of Miami campus. Opened in December 2008, The Palley Pavilion displays the Palley glass collection: a collection of over 300 built over 30 years. There is currently work representing 53 different artists, including Howard Ben Tre, Jose Chardiet, Dale Chihuly, Dan Dailey, Michael Glancy, Harvey Littleton, Stephen Weinberg, Stanislav Labinsky, and Lino Tagliapietra, among others.

The Palley Pavilion at the Lowe Art Museum displays the Palley Collection on a rotating basis and features additional donations in glass, ceramics and fiber. Janet and Joseph Shein donated a larger-than-life-sized ceramic head on its own pedestal, along with its rendering, by internationally renowned ceramicist Robert Arneson, and anonymous donors donated a William Morris installation, consisting of 15 different elements, a 10 feet tall ceramic oval by Jun Kaneko, and a textile wall hanging Ken Uyemura.

Designed by Coral Gables based architect Ronald Mateu, of Mateu Architecture Inc., the light-filled 3,500 square foot Pavilion incorporates elements that show off the inherent qualities of glass.

Entrance to the Palley Pavilion is a site-specific glass installation by renowned international glass artist and UM art faculty member William Carlson. A chandelier of revolving prisms by Jon Kuhn, donated by the artist, welcomes visitors to the space, which consists of the Beaux Arts Gallery, Matus Family Gallery, the Robert and Florence Werner Showcase, each housing selections from the permanent collection in handsome display cases.

Eight niches, measuring nine feet square and situated on the south and west facing walls, contain large-scale objects in all three media, and include works by Therman Statom, Rick Beck, Clifford Rainey, Robert Palusky, and former UM art faculty members Christine Federighi, Robert Willson, and Ken Uyemura. Floor pedestals scattered throughout the pavilion showcase single objects.

The Lowe Art Museum is located at the University of Miami at 1301 Stanford Drive, Coral Gables. Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, 12 to 7 p.m. Thursdays and 12 to 5 p.m. Sundays.
