Cecconi’s Set to Open in Miami’s Soho Beach House
Cecconi’s Set to Open in Miami’s Soho Beach House
Soho House Group announces the opening of the third location of its popular restaurant, Cecconi’s, on October 11th, which will debut as part of the new Soho Beach House in Miami. Overseeing the kitchen and executing the classic Venetian-influenced menu is acclaimed Executive Chef Sergio Sigala.
Inspired by the original London location—which was founded in 1978 and modeled after the first Cipriani in Venice, Italy,—the 150-seat Cecconi’s Miami is located on the ground floor of Soho Beach House, the recently renovated Art Deco Sovereign Hotel. Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner in an intimate setting, Cecconi’s offers superior service and is sure to entice the discerning tastes of its fellow Miami denizens and savvy visitors alike. The restaurant exudes the perfect blend of elegantly traditional cuisine and a relaxed atmosphere.
Sigala brings to Cecconi’s Miami a pedigree earned in some of the most esteemed kitchens in the world including Michelin-starred restaurants Al Bersagliere in Goito, Italy, and Ristorante Villa Fiordaliso in Lake Garda, Italy. Additionally, he was Chef of Italian Cuisine at the Sheraton Bahrain Hotel where he catered private parties and royal weddings at 16 different palaces for dignitaries such as the Sultan of Bahrain, Prince Charles and Nelson Mandela. For the past 10 years, this Northern Italian native was Executive Chef at Miami’s celebrated eatery, Casa Tua.
An ardent practitioner of sourcing quality, seasonal ingredients and using simple preparations, Sigala will add his own unique spin to the Cecconi’s Miami menu. He features all the same beloved dishes from the restaurant’s sister locations worldwide coupled with a robust steak and seafood program.
Menu highlights include Wood-Oven Roast Scallops with Pancetta and Rosemary; Kobe Beef Tartare with Truffle and Pecorino; Burrata, Red Onion and Fresh Tomato Pizza; Maine Lobster with House-made Spaghetti; Veal Ossobuco with Gremolata; and a first-rate selection of prime steaks served with truffle jus and garlic confit.
Whether they’re having a meal in the main dining room or simply grabbing drinks at the restaurant’s 14-seat bar, Cecconi’s guests can enjoy a diverse beverage program which features a 230-bottle wine list with a bevy of Italian, Spanish and South American selections; a choice variety of international and domestic beers; and handcrafted cocktails that consist of traditional Italian favorites alongside caipirinhas, mojitos and other libations which pay homage to Miami’s mix of Caribbean and Latin influences.
Cecconi’s Miami features outdoor garden-like seating that is sheltered by a retractable awning, allowing guests to enjoy their meal enveloped in the pleasure of Miami’s inviting weather. Additionally, the restaurant design includes antique Nile green stripped tile floors, allusive of the incredible hue of the nearby sea, and a garden of Silver Buttonwood trees.
Cecconi’s Miami is located at Soho Beach House, 4385 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, Fla., and is open Monday to Wednesday 8 a.m. to midnight, Thursday to Saturday 8 a.m. to 1 a.m., Sunday 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. For more information, please visit www.cecconisrestaurant.com.

Four years into playing the South Florida reggae circuit, The Resolvers have begun evolving on every front. Adding a full horn section and multiple female harmonizers, the new 11-piece outfit captures the essence of the classic big-band reggae sound: natural acoustic percussion, deep bass grooves, worldly drum rhythms, tasty vintage keyboards and bluesy guitar licks accented by timely horn blasts, all while being blended with modern song craftsmanship to create their own familiar yet original take on world music. Rooted by a core of five dedicated musicians including Dean Fishback (veteran keyboardist who has played with Inner Circle, Sugar Minot and Mikey Dread) and front man Ojay Smith (son of Jamaican legend Ernie Smith), The Resolvers are preparing to release a series of “double-sided singles” on disc and vinyl. The numbered limited-edition vinyl will feature art work commissioned specifically for each track, making each album a collector’s item.

That 70’s Party at The Manor Nightclub 10/7/10
“That 70’s Party”
October 7th, 2010, Thursday, 9pm-3am
The Manor Nightclub
2345 Wilton Drive, Wilton Manors, FL, 33305
October 7th, 7:30-11pm, The Manor Complex (2345 Wilton Drive, Fort Lauderdale) will help our World by hosting a Smart Ride fundraiser called “That 70’s Partyâ€. A benefit for the Smart Ride Team 995 where 100% of all the proceeds raised goes to 6 HIV/AIDS charities here in South Florida.
There are not many fundraisers that contribute 100%. This benefit is extraordinary because it is attracting people (Gay and Straight) from all over South Florida for one cause… to combat HIV/AIDS.
On November 19th at 5am, the Smart Ride Team 995 will be bicycling, along with over 1000 other riders and volunteers, 165 miles from Miami to Key West for all the funds that are raised! We want everyone to know that you can come and have a great time, be entertained and, at the same time, help a great cause!
October is Halloween month and for “That 70’s Party†guests are requested to dress in 70’s attire, walk the roped off “Red Carpet†and pose “Academy Award†style for the magazine cameras and enter the 70’s. 70’s Show clips and commercials will be playing on all the video screens! The MANOR Complex will be transformed into the 70’s by VISUAL XS (Vizcaya White Party), donating their services and props to transform the Manor Complex into the 70’s. It’ll be spectacular!
We are proud of the entertainment line-up that has joined our cause. The international and legendary STUDIO 54 and NY SAINT DJ, Robbie Leslie, (www.RobbieLeslie.com) will be transporting our guests “back to where it all began†with intermittent entertainment (STUDIO 54 and NY SAINT style).
Special appearances that night include our life-long friend, HIV activists and supporter, International Gold and Platinum album award winning STYX’s co-founder and bass guitarist, Chuck Panozzo, (www.ChuckPanozzosPlace.com) and (www.STYXworld.com) who will be taking time off from their current “Grand Illusion and Pieces of Eight†tour to perform their triple platinum hit “Come Sail Away†to help raise Smart Ride funds for HIV/AIDS. Also Jennifer Carbonell and Tony Cruz, both of whom have recent numerous hits on the Billboard dance charts will be performing that night.
Our Smart Ride Team 995 consists of 10 members so far. The diversity of our team represents the community, from ages 24 to 54, all bicycling 165 miles from Miami to Key West Nov 19th. Most of our team is doing this for their first time. There are four of us who are veterans. The team so far is Maritza Bedoya who says “I’m 54 but will be a hot Mama of 55 for the rideâ€. Butch Davison, 48. Amber Bishko, 24, of JuiceBlendz. Charlie Reynolds, 36 an accountant. Erich Sissel, 32, a project manager at Citrix. Richard Bryant, 46, at the Sheraton Hotel. Al Magdaleno, 45, Zach Spitzer, 28. Chris Rodriguez, 29, Dan Robichaud, 49, from TROPICS Restaurant.
The community has really pulled together for our team 995. The new owners of the Corner Pub, Shannon and Anthony, recently had a fundraiser and raised $636.00 for HIV/AIDS. They are still selling Jell-O shots for the entire month of Sept for our cause!
JuiceBlendz will be hosting 3 nights of fundraisers, Sept 22, 29, and October 4 from 4pm-9pm. They are giving a whopping 20% of all sales and general admission tickets for “That 70’s Party†will be discounted 50% with a purchase for the three fundraiser nights.
We want everyone to know our Team 995 sponsors and supporters, who have gone to great lengths for our community. MANORS Complex, GeoVax HIV/AIDS vaccines (www.GeoVax.com ) currently in their 2nd human clinical trials approved by the FDA and National Institute of Health (NIH) with a promising AIDS vaccine that is 87% effective (we are on the way to a vaccine!), JuiceBlendz, Regal Transportation, Sheraton Hotel Fort Lauderdale Airport, The Corner Pub, Chic Optique, Island City Fitness, TROPICS Restaurant and The Electric Bicycle Store (guests will be able to bid on electric bicycles at dealer prices for “That 70’s Partyâ€)
We also like to thank the Smart Ride 7 Sponsors. With out them, there wouldn’t be a Smart Ride. (Olive Garden, Rosie’s, Life Way Inc., Starbucks, AMR, and many more!) These organization provide food, water and medical services etc to the riders during the two day trek!
On another note, two members of the team, Al Magdaleno and Rich Bryant, have started a tradition 8 years ago on Christmas Day and are invited. They give out food and gift calling cards to the homeless in our community. This has been a rewarding experience to all that participate and usually brings a tear and a smile at the same time.
Last year, we gave some homeless people the opportunity to call their family to just let them know that they are alive or just have a meal when they didn’t know if they were going to eat. We have purchased these cards at our own expense, but last year The Avenue Project (www.TheAnevueProject.org ) joined us and was so touched that they nominated us this year to receive $5,000.00 in the Pepsi Refresh Project. Out of 10,000 applicants, we are number 97 so far. We have to be in the top ten to get the grant. It’s about voting! We would be so excited to receive the award because we always run out of cards to give.
Last year, there was a homeless girl who had a baby that needed medicine and we ran out of cards but reached in our pockets and helped her. We were personally broke for Christmas but it didn’t matter. Another time, this guy started crying on a beach bench and repeatedly said “God bless you, I didn’t know if I was going to eat tonight for Christmasâ€.
Others couldn’t believe we weren’t with a religious cause and were so thankful. Chuck Panozzo approached a very young kid two years ago that said he didn’t need it, only to be approached later by the same kid in tears saying “Sir, I could really use that, I haven’t eaten in two daysâ€.
Another girl hadn’t called her family in over a year and the guy, who gave her a calling card, in tears, gave her one. He had a similar situation with his nephew who was out on the streets and his family hadn’t heard from him in over a year. He couldn’t help crying as he gave her the calling card and made her promise to call her family.
All are welcome to participate this Christmas and we ask you to please vote at www.refresheverything.com/theavenueproject
Vote! You have to vote everyday for us to get in the top ten!
Together with your help for…
The Smart Ride Team 995 Fundraiser

YOU WILL HELP US… HELP THE WORLD!

The Paul Shewchuk Quartet featuring vocalist DeDee Wilde will be at Jazid 10/26/10
The Paul Shewchuk Quartet featuring vocalist DeDee Wilde will be at Jazid Tuesday, October 26, from 11 PM to 2 AM. Jazid is at 1342 Washington Ave., South Beach. For more info call 305-673-9372 or visit jazid.net.
Miami native Diane Broomfield grew up in an eight-sibling family wherein music was a constantly defining factor. She picked up the nickname “Dee Dee” (which she now spells “DeDee”) in early childhood; and she borrowed the surname “Wilde” from older brother Ron, who attained international fame as R&B balladeer Eugene Wilde in the mid-’80s. She first appeared on record with the family group Tight Connection in the late ’70s via a single deal with Taurus Records.
Subsequently performing as Life, La Voyage, and Simplicious, the unit enjoyed a minor R&B hit in 1984 under the latter name with “Let Her Feel It.” In 1988, Wilde released her first single, “I Found You”. The U.K. success of this and “Lap of Luxury” led to her debut album, No Way Out, released only in Europe and Japan. Her style here blended elements of powerful belters like Chaka Khan and deeper tones à la Evelyn “Champagne” King, and solidified her position as a commanding soul-ballad singer.
She co-wrote (under the name D. Williams) and co-produced all of the material on the album. Proving her flexibility, she guested on dance group Urban High’s 1989 cover of Loleatta Holloway’s Runaway, and added touches of house and hip- hop to her sophomore set, 1992’s Get-A-Way. Before and during her solo recordings she had also done session work with acts including James Brown, Phyllis Hyman, and INXS. She had also made a name as a top live performer in Miami’s local club scene.
Her track record in both of these areas caught the attention of a France-based club owner, who was putting together a club act including bandmates of Stevie Wonder and Earth, Wind & Fire, among others. Wilde took the gig and got the chance to work with idols, including Wonder and Chaka Khan as a result. Simultaneously, she independently released Get-A-Way to the U.K. market under the title I Love You on Trans-A. In 2001, she recorded her third album, PG-13, for family label Wilde City.
Hal Schaefer’s “Besame Mucho” showcases the talents of bassist Paul Shewchuk. Originally from Canada and now part of the Florida jazz scene, Paul has worked with Dr. Lonnie Smith, Ira Sullivan, Larry Elgar, the Joe Piscopo Big Band and Melton Mustafa to name a few. He is an “in-demand” bass player and a favorite of Hal’s.
“Paul Shewchuk’s quickstepping bass line sets the mood for “My Brother Melton,†on Jesse Jones’ CD “So Then Collection”, as he and the swift-sticking drummer James Cotman open this standout track with a bebop pulse.” (Bob Weinberg, Jazz & Blues Florida, June 2009)

Featuring some of Miami’s finest musical talents, this album elevates the familiar sounds of today’s mainstream latin music to a new level. In songs like “Que Se Sentira†(What does it feel) a beatleish styled ballad produced alongside well re-known latin producer and artist *MonteRosa*, you will undoubtely connect with the nostalgic behind many of Ulises Caloz’s songs. “Te Estoy Rogando †(I Am Begging You), an uptempo track that dweels on the desperation for forgiveness of a man’s human imperfections which has cost him the love of his life. With his
independent release of “9 yearsâ€, Ulises celebrates the latin pop/rock music that has influenced him since his early years growing up in his natal Cali, Colombia and pays tribute to all those who with hard-work and perseverence are able to bring to an audience the magic of their craft.
ODAS
One of the best Latino Pop/Rock bands to come out of South Florida. By popular demand, ODAS returns! Their new album “Al Final†is packed with amazing songs packed with stories of love, triumph, pain, and anguish. ODAS’ members, Karla Iriarte (vocals), Calors Iriarte (electric guitar), Victor Hugo (acoustic guitar and vocals), Camilo Machado (bass), form a powerful musical force and a “band to watch.†Formed in 2005, ODAS debut album “5 Sentidos†exploded in the South Florida scene and they became one of the most talked about bands. ODAS has a distinctive sound that stays true to their Bolivian roots while taking Rock/Pop to new heights and represents the potential that can be achieved as an independent band.

From Erin Mia: Business Marketing Advice For Charity Event Season
{A special guest post by the marketer extraordinaire Erin Mia Milchman. Soul Of Miami fully endorses this position. Sponsorship is one of the most powerful marketing tools available to business today.}
~ Erin Mia’s Business Marketing Advice For Charity Event Season ~
Hi!
Well, it looks like it’s that time of year again! The preparations for charity events are in full swing and so, the requests for auction items begin. I will be forwarding you the requests sent to me by worthy charities with strong followings and successful event histories for you to select from. As a marketing person, I am addressing the charity event season from a business standpoint and offering you a bit of free advice that really works to generate interest and ultimately business!
I strongly suggest that in this struggling economy you select 2 events per quarter and donate generously. Give something of significant value that proudly represents both you and your business. It’s all tax deductible and you can request that your business name, logo, website and contact information be listed on all electronically sent event information including but not limited to the actual electronic invite itself.
Placement on print collateral is not usually offered except in presenting sponsorship levels. You will be getting your business information out to thousands and in some cases hundreds of thousands of live, active emails. Charity mailing lists are extremely valuable tools because they have one of the strongest “open & read” performance percentages being that they are developed based on “interested parties”.
Additionally, you may be also benefiting from social media promotion and mailing lists of the committees, promoters, sponsors and venues. Utilize this opportunity to NETWORK! Face to face marketing is THE SINGLE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY to generate business and form loyal relationships. People involved in philanthropic work tend to be fiercely loyal and patronize those who’ve contributed to their beloved foundations. That doesn’t mean just show up to the event and indulge in the free champagne. I mean WORK IT BABY. These events are a literal goldmine of possibilities.
Make a commitment to serve on the board of at least one charitable event organization per year. Its hard work, but I promise you will make life long quality friends and solid business connections. Not to mention that we all should be doing SOMETHING to better this world we all live in, and hey, maybe you’ll even meet that “special” person.
Finally, VOLUNTEER. It takes an incredible amount of blood, sweat and tears to make major events go off flawlessly so that the less fortunate can benefit and someone’s got to do it! So, let that person be you. Again, you’ll make some sweet connections and feel really good about yourself knowing that YOU HAVE PERSONALLY MADE A DIFFERENCE. There’s nothing like a good fresh charge of pride to put a kick in your day and guess what? It’s contagious. Clients & customers feel it and react.
BONUS: Got teenagers? Great! Get them onboard with you. They all need service hours to apply for college, and what better way to get your kid to spend some quality time with you! (Minus the texting, facebooking and twittering) IT’S SHEER BRILLIANCE! Memories galore. <3
So~ I will be sending you several request letters for live & silent auction items throughout this heartwarming charity season. Don’t feel obligated to donate to all of them. I’m not EVER going to ask you to do that. However, I do ask that you think about two things that you care about. It could be Cancer ~ sheesh! There are hundreds of cancer foundation options to choose from. You can help to find a cure, help to prevent the disease, help provide housing for families, make wigs and on and on. Perhaps carbon footprints really make you hot.” going green” is THE super fashionable thing among celebs and New Yorkers (maybe they can do something about the cabs & all that honking!)
Save the planet, save the oceans, save the trees, save the animals. You get the picture. Maybe someone you love isn’t sick, isn’t poverty stricken, isn’t necessarily a vegan or a tree hugger. Maybe they’re just like you. BUT GAY. OMG! Sounds silly to say that, but in a lot of the world and most of our country homosexuality is still totally unacceptable and often a crime. In some countries shockingly close to us, perhaps you’ve been there with the kids on vacation; it’s punishable by DEATH. Well, that’s just unacceptable to me. Can you imagine? I’m not sure I NEED to force my feelings on gay marriage on people who feel differently due to their beliefs, but dammit, the death penalty for being gay? Wow that one really got me. Not exactly sure where I’m going to channel this energy, but it will be directed somewhere useful and I’m confident I will make some fabulous new friends in the process & a biz connection or two (or ten).
Ok, enough rambling. I’ll give you one more suggestion for marketing your business or product. Listen up now!
GOODIE BAGS. This one’s a no brainer. Girls of all ages L-O-V-E presents! We will step on our best friend’s toes to get that last tube of free lipstick at the makeup counter (and the color always sucks) get positively giddy at the sight of a colorful paper bag with curly ribbons ties to it, and I know personally that my friend Christina & I have been more than tempted to actually try to scam TWO goodie bags from the really good fashion events (oh wow. please don’t tell her I just totally threw her under the bus with me!) Goodie bags are an awesome opportunity to get your products to demographically perfect highly concentrated groups of people. Are you a shoe store? Target a charity that attracts a lot of women. Breast Cancer, Kids in Distress, Humane Society. You’re a dating service? Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (strong following of single upwardly mobile fun-loving people.)
Figure out whom you want to target and let me know. I’ll direct you to one that’ll work for you. DON”T BE CHINSY! (How do you spell that?) You’ve got one shot to either thrill her or annoy her. Give a gift certificate. I like these best for small businesses because it drives traffic to your store/business, provides an opportunity for you to meet her, impress her, get her in your database and make her a lifetime customer. Don’t be scared. Even if you donate one hundred twenty five dollar gift certificates, you’ll be lucky if seventy-five make it home, fifty make it into her purse and twenty make it into the store.
What would you pay for a great new customer? Twenty-five bucks? Yes I would. NO question. Much better than advertising prices! Remember ~ NO skimping! You only get one change to make a first impression. We girlies find plastic key chains, cheap looking pens and tee shits simply awful! Into the trash they go! (Wasted money for you.) Invest in something she will USE/WEAR/ADORE.
You want her to look at your logo over and over right? Great. Put it on a sexy looking hot pink or stainless steel water bottle that we can somehow connect our keys to. Or etch it onto THE BACK of a bottle of wine with a decadent looking label that I’ll want to keep “just for looks”. Give me a clear lip-gloss that plumps my lips. Think about it.
I have referrals for promotional products if you’d like them. Start now, don’t wait for the event to contact you because these things take time to have made and you will not get them in time to put in the bags by the time the volunteers get around to asking you for them.
OK, so there you go. I hope you take my advice and utilize this charity season to work FOR you effectively, and that maybe I’ve begun to change your mind about being relentlessly solicited for donations! :)

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

Locust Projects and University of Wynwood presents a Conversation and Book Signing with John D’Agata 9/24/10
University of Wynwood and Locust Projects Presents:
John D’Agata
Friday, September 24, 2010, 7pm
Locust Projects
155 NE 38th Street, Suite 100
Miami, FL 33137
305-576-8570
The fall semester at the University of Wynwood continues with visiting essayist John D’Agata. D’Agata will read from his new book About a Mountain (Norton, 2010), a lyric investigation into the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste disposal program and the suicide of Levi Presley, a Las Vegas teen who jumped from the top of the Stratsophere Hotel and Casino in 2002. The reading will be be part of Locust Projects’ Skill Share program and will include an extended Q&A and book signing.
The event is free. Parking is available on the street.
JOHN D’AGATA is the author of About a Mountain (Norton, 2010) and Halls of Fame: Essays (Graywolf, 2003) and is the editor of The Next American Essay (Graywofl, 2002) and The Lost Origins of the Essay (Graywolf, 2009). Annie Dillard has credited him with “rededfining the modern American essay.” D’Agata earned MFAs in both nonfiction and poetry from the University of Iowa, and has since taught writing and literature at Colgate, the University of Wyoming, the California Institute of the Arts, and the University of Iowa, where he is now on the permanent faculty of the nonfiction writing program.
Praise for About a Mountain:
“Unquestionably art, a breathtaking piece of writing.” – Charles Bock, The New York Times Book Review
“The book’s connections dawn on you like a reverberating rhyme in a poem.” – Matthew Gilbert, Boston Globe
“This is what, at its best, contemporary narrative nonfiction aspires to, a story that, like the novel, operates on many levels at once.” – David Ulin, Los Angeles Times
“When you’re reading D’Agata, you’re in such thrall to the dizzying literary risks he takes . . . you can’t help but be thrilled.” – William L. Fox, Las Vegas Weekly
“D’Agata’s distinctive narrative rhythms, melancholy wit, and keen perception of the social facade and the toxic darkness it conceals make for an acid test, and a ballad about the endless enigmas of humankind.” – Donna Seaman, Booklist

What is the Journey Dance flow? Journey Dance begins by dancing the earth, slowing down, letting go, feeling grounded. From that solid, safe place, dance into your sensual water body: awakening the fluidity and loosening the spine. Then, get funky in community, dance to fiery rhythmic beats, dive into an ocean of emotion and clear the mind of negativity and self talk. Inspire the heart to open and come into alignment with true essence and intuition. Finally rest and rejuvenate, feel radiant, embodied, full of joy and gratitude.
Dress comfortably and get ready for a moving experience! No dance or yoga experience is necessary!

Eighth Annual Pet Blessing Service At St. John’s on the Lake 10/3/10
All Creatures Great (Dane) And Small
Eighth Annual “Pet Blessing” Service for the Community To Be Held At St. John’s on the Lake
October 3, at 11 a.m.
St. John’s sanctuary
4760 Pine Tree Drive, Miami Beach
September 20, 2010 – Realizing that four legged and finned companions are an integral part of many families, St. John’s on the Lake United Methodist Church is once again hosting a favorite community tradition with St. John’s new Pastor Chris McNeill conducting the eighth annual “pet blessing” service on Sunday, October 3, at 11 a.m. in the St. John’s sanctuary. The pet blessing is free and open to the entire community.
Well-behaved pets and their human companions of all faiths and denominations are welcome at this special service. Following the service, St. John’s congregation and their pet guests will host a special “yappy hour” on the church’s outdoor patio overlooking Surprise Lake. New this year will be a pet adoption and fundraising drive for Spotted Dog Animal Rescue.
“We added the dog adoption to this year’s service because there are many animals in our community that are deserving of a loving home,†said Pastor McNeill. “How blessed would these orphans be if they got adopted at a pet blessing service.â€
The St. John’s pet blessing service celebrates the Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals and the environment. Feast Day pays homage to the founder of the Franciscan Order who was renowned as a lover of all creation, and each pet participating in the service will receive a St. Francis medallion to commemorate the day and their patron saint.
“The annual pet blessing is one of our favorite and most heartwarming community events,†said Pastor McNeill. “Our furry, finned and feathered family members are such a special part of our lives. This service gives us a chance to affirm that ‘all creatures, great and small’ are deserving of our love and care.â€
St. John’s on the Lake was founded in Miami Beach in the 1920s in an upper room of Smith’s Casino on Ocean Drive, south of First Street. Today, St. John’s is celebrating its 10th year as Florida’s only Reconciling Ministry.

Amy Alonso Gallery is pleased to present:
CON-SCIENCE? – Art Exhibition
Miami based artist, Carla Fache, inspirited by the dramatic oil spill consequences, present the CON-SCIENCE? – Art Exhibition, an artistic proposal that invites the viewers to re- think and connect the recent environmental events with our planet pulse.
CON-SCIENCE? – Art Exhibition explores the artist’s interpretation to the recent environmental events in the world, through the transformation of common recycled materials into something meaningful. Re- think and Re- use are the artist invitation to focus on the signs our earth is giving to shake our mind set, and reveal our bond with the universe.
The Florida oil spill effects, the recent earthquakes in Chile and Haiti, the mystery of the recent earth craters around the world, together with the possibility of not being alone in the universe, are some of the pieces Fache will present in this exhibition.
“It is about re-thinking, re- acting and re- living: Con-science, with or without our science, but definitely with our inner faithâ€. Carla Fache.
Extra extra!!
CON-SCIENCE? – Art Exhibition is helping to save our planet!! A percentage of the paintings sold in this exhibition will be donated to an Environmental organization +
JAZZ AT MOCA: DIRK QUINN Free concert under the stars.
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…â€â€¨-Carla Fache
From Arts for Learning: County Arts Budget: We Need Your Help! 9/23/10
Dear Friends and Supporters of Arts for Learning,
Last week there was an amazing turnout from the arts community at the 1st Miami-Dade County budget hearing. Many of you turned out in support of Arts for Learning and the other vital cultural groups that make up our community. Thank you!
The good news is that we made the first step in securing funding for the Cultural Affairs grants budget. But, this process is not ever yet and we still need your help. The final budget hearing will take place on September 23rd at 5:00p.m. in the County Commission Chambers. Once again, we ask that you to make every effort to attend and speak to the Commission on behalf of the arts. Your message should include thanking them for their support and asking for full restoration of the Cultural Affairs budget. Crowds are expected so get there early and be prepared to wait to make your case. You will have two minutes to speak. Please wear a black shirt and Arts Action Alliance will be on site to provide you with bright ARTS SUPPORT stickers for you to wear. If you have questions about this process or need more information please contact the Arts Action Alliance at artsaction@gmail.com.
Please also write and email the Commissioners about this issue before the meeting. A sample letter is below and also a contact list.
Together we can ensure that the funds are in place to continue to do the important work that the arts community engages in everyday.
Sincerely,
Sheila Womble
Executive Director

Sample Message
[Please personalize this draft message – remember County Commissioners have told us that your personal stories have the most impact. I also suggest using just two or three of the bullet points included below as examples.]
Dear [ _______,]
I am writing to urge you to support the restoration of the proposed 25% cut to the Department of Cultural Affairs’ grants programs. I know that you have tough choices to make about next year’s budget but please know that the arts are part of the solution for re-energizing our economy and making our community great.
Here are a few important facts:
· Every dollar of County arts support leverages $27 dollars of other funds.
· Arts organizations generate a billion dollars in local economic impact annually.
· 12 million people attend arts events every year in Miami-Dade County.
· Other businesses depend on the arts. People who attend arts events spend more than a half a billion dollars, parking their cars, eating in local restaurants and shopping.
· Cultural activities provide more than 2 million experiences every year to the children of our county.
· Our community’s outstanding arts activities are giving Miami-Dade a worldwide competitive edge in attracting tourism and business.
Those are the economic facts. I also want to tell you about how important County support for the arts is to me [(or to my organization). Tell your story here].
What you do now will have an effect on the entire course of our economy and our community. I am counting on your support for maintaining funding for the County’s investments in the arts.
Thank you for your help.

In 2001, Llobet was honored as “World Argentine Tango Champion†in Miami and the “World Cup Argentine Tango Champion†both in Hungary (2000) and China (2001). A pioneer of tango in South Florida, Llobet founded and managed local recognized events such as Alma de Tango, which today in collaboration with the Biltmore Hotel brings every Tuesday a unique and select atmosphere for tango lessons, milonga and cultural interchange.
Group classes for beginners are from 9 p.m. to 10 p.m. and advanced students from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. Following class, Llobet will recap the first year of Alma de Tango at the Biltmore. Guests will enjoy a special performance by professional tango dancers and share the dance floor with experienced milongueros as they practice tango throughout the evening. No dance partner is necessary as guests are encouraged to change partners during the class and milonga.
Nightly drawing includes Sunday Champagne Brunch for two at the Biltmore and a private tango lesson with Monica Llobet. Admission is $25, includes the class and milonga. A cash bar with specially selected wines from Argentina is available.

VIP ticket holders will also enjoy an exclusive area with open bar sponsored by Grey Goose Vodka, gourmet hors d’oeuvres and valet parking all included in the VIP ticket price.
As SAVE Dade’s largest fundraising event of the year, all money raised at Hellrotika will fuel SAVE’s efforts in fighting for LGBT equality. Since 1993, SAVE has continued to protect lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals from discrimination, thanks to the great collaboration of members, volunteers, donors and sponsors at such fundraising events like Hellrotika, keeping SAVE Dade’s momentum going strong.
“We hope that this year’s fundraiser will help us reach new audiences and take the SAVE Dade mission to greater heights. Not only have we sponsored a great Halloween party for the last 15 years, but we’ve successfully created an environment of inclusion and acceptance that goes beyond the limits of sexual orientation,” said CJ Ortuño, SAVE Dade’s Executive Director.
The event will be held on Saturday, October 30th at The Awarehouse in Miami’s trendy Wynwood Arts District. Tickets are available now at hellrotika.com or by phone at 305 751-7283.

Homage to Wassily Kandinsky
An Exhibition of Works by Local Artists
Blanca Caraballo
Ina Esteva
Tony Núñez
Celia Reigle
Emilio Héctor RodrÃguez
Curated by Baruj Salinas
On View September 24 – October 15, 2010
In this art exhibit, master painter Baruj Salinas is presenting five artists with a passion for abstractionism as a common denominator. Each artist has developed his/her work under different perspectives, but they share the singularity that they have all been Salinas’ disciples. Baruj, who is an internationally renowned artist, is acting now as curator to bring this show to the Miami public. Through this exhibit, the artists want to pay homage to Wassily Kandinsky and celebrate together the 100th anniversary of his first abstract water color.
The exhibition will be on view from September 24 through October 15, 2010; Wednesday to Friday from 12:00 pm to 5:00 pm (or by appointment).
“The five painters that Baruj Salinas is presenting, Blanca Caraballo, Ina Esteva, Tony Núñez, Celia Reigle and Emilio Héctor RodrÃguez, seek, in this way, to reproduce a perception that, although it possess the appearances of abstractionism, it is no more than the reflection of the invisible images that immediate reality conceals from us.” – Carlos M. Luis

Ernesto Simpson began his musical career at an early age and had his first paying gig with his father’s band. His exposure to a variety of styles, rhythms, combined with African and Afro-Cuban, South American styles has allowed him to develop a powerful and innovative concept fitting perfectly the needs of the new collective music. His musical sophistication is matched only by his ability to play on a very high level with great consistency, freshness and unique taste. He is known for his furious commitment that soloists playing with him had to exert all their might to keep along with him.
Ernesto performs in a myriad of arenas from Jazz to R&B, Latin, ethnic and more. Because of his commitment to excel, he constantly develops new ideas with technique to spare. His love for music and respect for his instrument and peers lead him to play everything with incisive, deep, soulful perfection. Active on the New York jazz scene, he is swiftly establishing a high reputation among his peers; his incendiary riffs ignite anyone’s imagination.
Touring with recognized international bands, Ernesto Simpson’s name has become much better known in the music world. He has performed and/or shared stage with artists like Carmen McRae, Dizzy Gillespie, Wynton Marsalis, Mike Stern, Michel Legrand, Herbie Hancock, Michael Brecker, George Benson, Salif Keita, Tito Puente, Giovanni Hidalgo, Arturo Sandoval, Paquito D’ Rivera, Ray Barreto, Brian Lynch and Gonzalo Rubalcaba, just to name a few, he also plays for the famous Cameroonian song-writer, singer and bass player, Richard Bona.

New Director Cornell Dewitt Announces Initial List Of Galleries; Emphasizes Core Vision For Miami 2010
PULSE Contemporary Art Fair is proud to announce the exhibitors and programming for its 2010 Miami edition. The sixth edition of the fair – the first under new Director Cornell DeWitt – will offer a blend of 82 leading and emerging international galleries alongside the hallmark program of original cultural projects for which the fair is renowned. PULSE Miami 2010 will also introduce a new focus on the city and culture of Miami, and an unprecedented emphasis on the visitor experience, foremost through its exhibitors and programming, but also via new culinary partners and social opportunities.
“PULSE consistently achieves success by presenting a first class roster of galleries on a scale that is manageable, and in a setting that is comfortable. Our core exhibitors, who could show in any fair the world, recognize this and it keeps them coming back” DeWitt explained. Joining such long-running PULSE veterans as Conner Contemporary Art, Hilger Modern/Contemporary, and Yossi Milo Gallery, are a wealth of new exhibitors. Miami’s Gallery Diet will bring work by artist Christy Gast, who will have a solo exhibition at the De La Cruz Collection coinciding with the fair. Another newcomer is Galleri Maria Veie, a central figure in Oslo’s under-recognized contemporary art scene, bringing Jumana Manna to the IMPULSE section of solo artist booths. From New York comes Larissa Goldston Gallery, whose artists on view include the young American artist Orly Genger. For its garden area, PULSE Miami has commissioned Genger to create Beefcakes, a functional elaboration on prior installations by Genger, including her current
MASS MoCA installation Big Boss, in which a gigantic construction of woven climbing rope appears to explode through a wall into a colossal mass throughout the gallery space.
Schroeder Romero and Shredder – a new joint venture, bringing together Schroeder Romero Gallery and The Sienese Shredder – make their first appearance in an art fair, bringing Michael Waugh’s Decline and Fall (of a performance artist). Waugh will continuously read from The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire with no breaks during an eight hour long day at the fair. The performance is accompanied by a drawing inspired by the texts, on view in the gallery’s booth. Following last year’s acclaimed turn, the Austin, Texas collective OK Mountain will present Trailer, an ambitious new sculptural installation exploring the tradition of customized barbecue trailers, courtesy of New York’s Freight + Volume.
Several galleries come to PULSE Miami from points outside North America and Europe. Asian galleries include Silverlens Gallery from the Philippines, plus Ai Kowada Gallery and veteran exhibitor Megumi Ogita, both from Tokyo. A sizeable Latin American contingent will also be on view, represented by mainstay gallery Nina Menocal from Mexico City; Arróniz, also from Mexico City; and Bogota, Colombia’s Nueveochenta. San Juan, Puerto Rico’s RICA Gallery; and San José, Costa Rica’s GalerÃa Bickar will exhibit in the IMPULSE section of curated solo-artist booths.
The Miami 2010 edition of the fair’s PULSE PLAY> video exhibition is curated by Tampa Museum of Art Executive Director Todd D. Smith. Titled Water on the Mind, works by Janaina Tschape, Janet Biggs and Johanna Billing channel a range of emotions – frustration, melancholy, and nostalgia, evoked by the recent Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
For the first time, the fair will open with a private evening preview on Tuesday, November 30, featuring a live musical performance hosted by the Friends of the New World Symphony. Also performed repeatedly over the course of the fair is WALL, a study in choreography by Shannon Gillen & Guests (see press kit/website for schedule). WALL imagines the human body as a magnetized form under pressure, irresistibly drawn to the length of a wall. Bodies will collide, levitate, and orbit this space, creating new relationships as they interact.
The PULSE Prize will be awarded to an exceptional emerging artist selected from the IMPULSE section of the fair by the PULSE Committee. The recipient will receive a $2,500 cash grant and the opportunity to design the limited-edition tote bag created for the next year’s fair. VIPs attending PULSE Miami 2010 will receive complimentary bags designed by last year’s PULSE Prize winner, OK Mountain. Other prior recipients include Eric Beltz, Chen Chien-Jen, Philip Gurrey, Chris Natrop, Emilio Chapela Perez, Duke Riley, and Travis Somerville.
To enhance the experience of our guests, PULSE Miami has commissioned a rotating program of food trucks from some of Miami’s favorite restaurants: the wildly popular Latin Burger; gourmet food truck pioneer Gastropod; Jefe’s Original, serving their signature fish tacos; and Yellow Submarine, purveyors of the finest Colombian fast food. Each day a different truck will be available to guests in the fair’s plaza – please see the schedule available on the next page. Finally, at the end of each day visitors are invited to reward themselves and partake in cocktails at the PULSE Bar, from 4pm to 7pm.

PULSE
Through its annual editions in New York and Miami, PULSE serves as the junction between central and satellite art fairs. Its exhibitors consist of a select group of leading and pioneering international galleries that present works by premier contemporary artists with those of emerging and undiscovered talents. A central component of the fair is its program of commissioned cultural projects that link its audience to all aspects of the visual and performing arts.

Derrick Adams artist talk
BFI 180 NE 39th Street, suite 210
in Miami’s Design District
Sunday, September 26th, 5pm
The Bas Fisher Invitational is proud to present a talk with multi-disciplinary artist Derrick Adams. Adam’s work has many facets and uses a variety of media, including video, sculpture and performance. He writes scripts for different identities which he explores in performance using costumes and environments that are often of a two-sided nature. He pulls from American culture and consumer objects. Derrick’s recent work deals with his childhood growing up in the post -industrial city of Baltimore and the juxtaposition between Man and Monument.
Derrick Adams received his masters of Fine Arts from Columbia University and is a recipient of the 2009 Louis Comfort Tiffany Award. He has participated residencies including the Skowhegan School of painting in Maine and the Fountainhead Residency in Miami. He is represented by Collette Blanchard Gallery and recently performed his “Go Stand Next to the Mountain†project at The Kitchen in New York.
Derrick lives and works in New York City.

EXPOSED: The Art Project will be at Gallery 101
This special night at the Gallery 101 will coincide with the FAT Village Art Walk Night on Saturday, September 25th.
EXPOSED:The Art Project, a not-for-profit art collaboration of 5 artists, in an effort to raise awareness of many pressing humanitarian issues both nationally and around the globe, is about to “expose” themselves to the public. www.thegallery101.net
EXPOSED has just launched themselves into the public eye with hopes of becoming the next big thing in the art world by helping others with their art. Plans are in the works for major projects around the country to help those less fortunate and bring about awareness of humanitarian issues.
EXPOSED artists Barry Gross, Adela Holmes, Presscott McDonald and Neal Fox will be on hand to explain the idea and goals behind this amazing project of art, awareness & goodwill.
In an effort to raise needed startup funding, we have some amazing GIFTS for you:
1) EXPOSED ARTIST AND CELEBRITY & FASHION PHOTOGRAPHER (Kimora Lee Simmons and Fifty Cent are part of his past work) Presscott McDonald, is offering a mini photo session on the night of the event of yourself or loved one for a charitable donation of $25 to EXPOSED: The Art Project”. (You may decide to use this fashionable photo for your facebook profile or as a gift for yourself or friends!) Check out Presscott’s work at: www.presscott.net (Look for Presscott on Facebook as well.)
2) Also for a $25 donation, PHOTOGRAPHER ADELA HOLMES is offering an 8×10 print of her unique photography. A limited supply is available, so first come, first served. See her work at: www.adelaholmes.com (You can find Adela on Facebook as well.)
3) SILENT AUCTION – ARTIST BARRY GROSS will be auctioning off an original framed Oil stick drawing on tinted handmade rice paper, 24 x 44″ with bids starting at only $500. (Barry’s large paintings sell from $35,000 and up, and his drawings retail from $2,500 up, so this is a great opportunity to have an original Barry Gross at a fraction of the price, and know that you have helped a great cause)
Check out Barry’s work at: www.iconeditions.com (Barry is also on Facebook.)
Talented award-winning Songwriter and Filmmaker Neal Fox’s work will be seen in EXPOSED: The Art Project’s first video presentation. Neal’s work can also be seen at: www.wireduck.com (Look for Neal on Facebook)

A baby is just the beginning. Motherhood is for life…
Motherhood the Musical features a cast of South Florida’s favorite actresses. The show opens at a baby shower for Amy, played by Lisa Manuli, the naive 20-something who is about to deliver her first child. Amy gets an earful about motherhood, including the good, the bad and the ugly; the diapers, the dirty laundry and the sleepless nights from her three more experienced girlfriends. Barb, played by Laura Turnbull, is the over-worked, underpaid mother of five. Brooke, played by Margot Moreland, is the lawyer who works too much and doesn’t spend enough time with her kids. And Tasha, played by Kareema Castro, is the single mom who’s struggling to juggle it all.
Motherhood the Musical features 18 original songs written or co-written by Sue Fabisch, the #1 hit songwriter in Nashville, TN, and Billboard Magazine Top 10 Comedy Artist, who also wrote the play. Fabisch wrote the songs to amuse herself as she made her own way through the trials of motherhood. They include “Welcome to Motherhood,†“Mommy, Mommy, Mommy,†“Minivan,†“Costco Queen,†“I Leak,†“Baby Weight Blues,†and the #1 hit “The Kids are Finally Asleep.â€
Announcing a new album by Montserrat Franco – La Gatica
In Miami, we mix Spanish and English when we speak, we drink café con leche, we smoke cigars and drink mojitos, we dance salsa and enjoy fun under the sun almost 365 days a year, despite our rainy days. But in Miami we also live and celebrate our diversity and we are proud of it every single day, that’s how we have artists such as Montserrat who brings Miami’s new sound with her new production proudly made in Miami.
Montserrat’s new album it’s an example, “La Gatica†has the sazon of the Tropics spicing it with Trinidad and Tobago’s artist “Terra B†who adds the soca/reggae flavor, inviting to dance near the beach, no shoes required just feeling the beat and going with the waves.
On “Concierto para dos†a “neo latino soul†song Montserrat shows her ability as a singer/songwriter who touches the heart of the listener with simple lyrics about real life facts, on the guitar Gloria Estefan’s guitarist Marco Linares adds his amazing touch.
On the Latin Jazz version of “The Man I love†there is nothing more surprising than this great standard made to order: danceable and with “mucha salsaâ€, at the piano Kiki Sanchez who also produced the whole album shows his virtuoso Latin Piano and his jazzystic passion.
On “What should I do†Montserrat’s soultry vocals and songwriter free spirit takes us to a different level of composition while this is the perfect song for a Sunday morning with the very sexy saxo of Arturo Arango.
“Yad Anuga†featuring Ricky Martin’s back up vocalist “Cheito Quinonez†brings the best of both worlds: Afro Cuban Guaguanco and Middle Eastern modulations, we enjoy the percussions by Daniel Berroa mixing bongos and the pottery ethnic drum “Uduâ€.
On “Teach me tonight†and “Se stasera sono qui†the first a standard made on the old school version and the classic Italian song on an unexpected samba arrangement.
On the bass Edilio Bermudez, other drums and percussions by Los Temerarios’s drummer Paul Votteler and Reinier Guerra. Recorded by Kevin Borda and mastered by The Hit Factory “Criteria†Engineer Israel Piti Najera.
And if this wasn’t enough part of the proceeds of the sales of Montserrat’s new album will benefit Miami based foundation “Commmon Ground for Conservation†a Non Profit 501 ( c ) (3) to help protect
Mother Earth and educate on sustainability. The Cd is on sale now on major retailers including Itunes, Napster, Amazon, Rhapsody, Ilike, Reverbnation, Cdbaby and more.

Who is Montserrat?
www.montserratfranco.com
It’s an island with a volcano in the Caribbean, it’s a mountain and a monastery between Spain and France, it’s a cathedral in Bogota, Colombia, it’s also a fearless woman with a gypsy heart who traveled the world with a backpack, wrote songs and sung for a living, lived with the Guarani natives in South American jungles and the Bedouin people in the desert in the Middle East, speaks seven languages (Spanish, English, Guarani, Italian, Portuguese, Hebrew and Ladino), and has a multiethnic background that can be traced to medieval Spain.
Miami’s own Montserrat Franco has always had the need of expressing herself through music because her destiny was to be a woman of art. As the Dominican newspaper El Siglo says, “Montserrat is a woman whose soul is pure artâ€. Montserrat’s wild spirit broke the rules after she switched from the classical music scene in major European theaters and performing in Israel to her new life in Miami, far from the struggles of being a music student and globetrotter. But her artistic soul haunted her because it’s impossible to stop a gypsy on her journey.
I remember when I first heard Montserrat in concert singing at the majestic Rector’s Palace in Dubrovnik, Croatia in the summer of 2000. It’s amazing how someone can have the ability to sing with a symphonic orchestra one day, with a jazz band the next day and then with a folk band the following day or simply with her guitar in the streets or a park.
Montserrat is returning to the music scene this time with some of the songs she wrote years ago. In this production, she shows all of her faces. Originally from a small town in Paraguay, she has turned into a metropolitan polyglot singing in various tongues and preserving her pride in being a latina. She screams her Latin flavor in La Gatica and in Un Poquito, featuring Trinidad & Tobago’s artist “Terra Bâ€.
Music is an entry into the soul of other cultures and countries. Let Montserrat show you the wealth of her globetrotting as you listen to her sing on this album in Spanish, English, Italian, and Hebrew.
As Bobby Ramirez wrote about her : “Miami’s newest singing sensationâ€, mixing spiciness, sensuality, island and Caribbean rhythms, Mediterranean and jazzy touches. She represents Miami’s spirit, her eclectic personality who refuses to be ‘like somebody†or influenced by somebody, Montserrat’s music is unique and she has still a long way to go…This is just the beginning. Would you stop a gypsy?

URGENT: Save the Gusman Center
{A note from Soul Of Miami: this was forwarded to us by the Miami International Film Festival. We think it is important enough to post here for everyone to see. If you can help, please contact the Friends of the Gusman at the address below.}
An Urgent Appeal from The Friends of Gusman Center
Please forward to your friends
As you are aware, the Gusman Center has been informed that due to the City of Miami’s budget shortfall, the Theater may not receive funding from the City for the coming fiscal year. Without this financial support, after 84 years in our community, the Gusman’s doors could be forced to close permanently before the year is out.
As a City-owned facility, the Gusman relies on the City for approximately one-third of its operating budget. The remaining funds are generated by venue rentals; arts and historic preservation grants from the city, county and state; and generous donations from supporters like you. The Friends of Gusman remains committed to developing additional sources of funding and to implementing a sustainable operating structure for the Theater over the longer term.
Today, we urgently ask you to join us in calling on our Mayor and City Commission to recognize their commitment to maintain this unique cultural and historic landmark. Failure to provide for basic maintenance of the Theater, even in the short term, would likely result in irreparable damage to the building and undermine the successful restoration efforts that have been accomplished over the past decade.
Please help us advocate for the Gusman Center for the Performing Arts by taking the following urgent actions:
ATTEND THE CITY OF MIAMI BUDGET HEARINGS
SEPT. 14, 4:00 pm & SEPT. 27, 4:00 pm
City of Miami Commission Chambers
3500 Pan American Drive, Coconut Grove
Join the Friends of Gusman demonstrating your support IN PERSON at this critical juncture, at these two budget hearings for the 2010-2011 fiscal year.
T-shirts will be handed out to all those who come out in support. Please look for us at the entrance to City Hall. Call for more information: Daniella Sforza, 305-308-0802, or Robert Hernandez, 786-325-8093.
CONTACT YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS — SIGN THE PETITION, EMAIL THE COMMISSION TODAY
Visit www.friendsofgusmancenter.org and click on ADVOCACY. Sign electronically the citizen’s petition addressed to The Honorable Tomas Regalado and City of Miami Commissioners “To Continue the City of Miami’s Fiscal Support of the Historic Olympia Theater at the Gusman Center for the Performing Arts.”

Symphony of Colors (A Journey Through My Colorful Roots)
Opening Reception: Thursday, September 16th, 2010. 6:30 – 10:00 p.m.
Location: Borinquen Art Gallery. 100 NE 38th Street, Suite #3. Miami, FL 33137

After the reception gallery will be open by appointment only
Closing Reception: Saturday, October 9th, 2010. 7:00 – 10:00 p.m.
Admission: Free
www.borinquenhealth.org
The Borinquen Art Gallery will be showcasing its first solo exhibition by Miami-based artist Igal Fedida titled Symphony of Color (A Journey Through My Colorful Roots). Mr. Fedida is an award-wining painter who has been recently awarded at the Biennial 2010 National Museum Ecuador and has received the Best Audience Choice Award at MOCA North Miami.
Igal Fedida, born and raised in Israel, moved to the United States at an early age to pursue a successful business career in construction, design and remodeling. Being of curious and deeply spiritual nature, however, he decided to take some time to get to know the world and he traveled to many distant and unusual pockets of our home planet. He enjoyed drawing, sketching and design since an early age and he discovered the love for photography during his journeys, capturing images of nature and people alike.
Returning to Los Angeles, he enrolled in intensive photography study program at the UCLA. Exploring the world of photography, his need for expression drove him to develop a unique form where he combined Polaroid photographs with water color in order to deepen the effect of the image. In doing so he discovered that his need to express the nature and the world that surrounds us far surpasses the limited potential of photography. Subsequently, as if an invisible hand pointed a direction, the magic door opened and he was pulled into the world of painting.
Completely self taught, over the time he developed his own fascinating style of contrasting images. His black and white collection clearly expresses his inner search of balance between order and chaos, good and evil and evermore constant yin and yang presence in life. On the opposite to this sharp collection stand abstracts filled with mesmerizing colors inspired by nature and God alike. Some of his paintings carry deep meanings about the creation and the world from “big bang” and Adam and Eve to modern day socialites while others are visually hypnotizing, energy filled abstracts of strikingly vivacious colors.
You can find Fedida at his Miami studio/gallery where he spend sleepless nights with a brush in his hand and a vision on his mind passionately driven to deliver to the world his ingenuous masterpieces.

4385 Collins Avenue
Miami Beach, FL
Ph: 786 507 7900
Soho House welcomes its newest club and hotel to Miami this Fall with the opening of Soho Beach House, the brand’s third North American property. Located in Mid-Beach, just north of South Beach, the oceanfront property will be both a club for private members and boutique hotel open to the public. Soho Beach House will also include a Cowshed Spa and a Cecconi’s restaurant, both open to the public.

“The first time I stepped foot in Miami I was blown away by the sexy vibe, the beautiful art deco buildings and incredible beaches – I knew instantly I wanted to bring a Soho House there” said Soho House founder Nick Jones. “We have created properties in New York and LA, and introducing flip flop glamour to Miami seemed like the natural next step for us. The Beach House is just north of the South Beach strip. It is a place where I hope our members and guests will meet, sleep and definitely play…I am incredibly excited about throwing our doors open this fall – it’s going to be fun.â€
Soho Beach House was envisioned by Nick Jones together with designer Martin Brudnizki, whose resume boasts Cecconi’s West Hollywood, London’s Scott’s, The Club at the Ivy and J Sheekey Oyster Bar. Using inspiration from Miami Beach history, the property will have a South American style while offering a taste of the brand’s characteristic, unpretentious European glamour.

With South American influences, all bedrooms are decorated with one-off pieces of antique furniture and feature king-size beds and rainforest showers stocked with Cowshed products.

Design Miami/, the global forum for design, will present its sixth edition this December in a new location in Miami Beach. For the first time in the show’s history, the fair will be staged on Meridian Avenue and 19th Street, adjacent to Art Basel Miami Beach at the Miami Beach Convention Center. This year’s show will offer a more streamlined, seamless experience for the collectors, exhibitors, sponsors and general public that attend both fairs. Design Miami/ has commissioned Moorhead and Moorhead, an emerging, award-winning design studio, to create the show’s temporary structure for its new Miami Beach location. Details on this structure will be announced in the coming weeks.
“Presenting the show in Miami Beach will offer us a new context,†says Wava Carpenter, Acting Director of Design Miami/. “For the past five years, the Miami Design District provided us with a wonderfully creative and nurturing environment in which to grow our brand and the neighborhood will always be an integral part of the Design Miami/ identity. At the same time, we are tremendously excited by the opportunities a move to Miami Beach affords us in terms of evolving our show and making it more accessible to a wider audience.â€
Craig Robins, Co-founder and Principal of Design Miami/ states: “The move to Miami Beach will create value for our collectors, exhibitors, sponsors, partners and those who come to take part in our events. The growth of both the Miami Design District and Design Miami/ in recent years has been extraordinary. This move to the Beach will allow the programming in the District to evolve and flourish, while creating an entirely new set of opportunities for Design Miami/.â€
In his other role as Chief Executive Officer and President of Dacra, Robins is widely credited with having transformed both South Beach and the Miami Design District into world-renowned centers for cutting-edge art, design, food and fashion, making the fair’s move to Miami Beach especially significant for him.
In 2009, Design Miami/ Basel relocated to Hall 5, in the Messe complex that houses Art Basel in Basel, Switzerland. The response to the proximity from collectors, dealers, and sponsors was overwhelmingly positive, with the 2009 and 2010 Basel shows setting records for Design Miami/ in terms of sales and attendance. A similar response is expected for the move of the upcoming Miami show.
The sixth edition of Design Miami/, opening November 30, 2010, promises to be the most dynamic yet. An eclectic, international mix of participating galleries and bold cultural programming will be announced shortly. For further information, visit www.designmiami.com and www.designmiamiblog.com.

The Oceanfront Nights program, curated by Creative Time, spotlights the cultural scenes of Berlin, Detroit, Glasgow, and Mexico City.
Art Basel Miami Beach 2010 will run from December 2 through December 5, 2010, with an exclusive VIP opening on December 1. Galleries selected from 29 countries will showcase paintings, drawings, sculptures, installations, photography, editions, and videos.

Prominent guests from around the world will attend the exclusive opening on December 1. Many major global museums are organizing trips to Florida, and numerous groups of art collectors from Latin America and Europe have already announced their visits. During the show’s five-day run, more than 40,000 visitors are expected at Art Basel Miami Beach 2010.
Art Galleries sector
The Art Basel Miami Beach Selection Committee – comprised of 12 renowned international gallerists – has picked more than 180 galleries for the main sector of this year’s show. More than half of the exhibitors come from outside the United States, with strong participation from Europe, 20 galleries from Latin America, eight galleries from Asia and two from Africa. The following galleries are exhibiting for the first time: Cernuda Arte (Coral Gables), Leslie Feely Fine Art (New York), Hackett Mill (San Francisco), Galerie Rodolphe Janssen (Bruxelles), Sabine Knust Maximilian Verlag (München), Jorge Mara – La Ruche Gallery (Buenos Aires), Nyehaus (New York), Franklin Parrasch Gallery (New York), Gary Snyder (New York).

The exhibition concepts for the 20 Art Kabinetts are diverse, including thematic group exhibitions, art-historical solo shows and showcases for rising stars.
Art Nova sector
In this year’s Art Nova sector, 50 emerging and established galleries from 17 countries are presenting new works by either two or three artists. In all, recent pieces by 131 artists will be on display, providing visitors an opportunity to see pieces fresh from studios around the globe – and making the sector an ideal place to spot the newest artistic tendencies.
Art Positions sector
The new criteria for Art Positions creates a platform for a single major project from one artist, allowing curators, critics and collectors to discover ambitious new talents. The sector presents 14 young galleries from seven different countries, showcasing cutting-edge single projects by the artists Hany Armanious (1962), Jorge Méndez Blake (1974), Brian Bress (1975), François Bucher (1972), Dario Escobar (1971), Fernanda Fragateiro (1962), Nikolas Gambaroff (1979), Eddie Martinez (1977), Gabriel Sierra (1975), Kara Tanaka (1983), Johanna Unzuetta (1974), Phil Wagner (1974), Judi Werthein (1967) and Héctor Zamora (1974).
Art Public
Art Public, curated for the second time by Patrick Charpenel of Guadalajara, Mexico, features projects by internationally renowned artists. Selected from proposals by the galleries of Art Basel Miami Beach, the projects are installed in the outdoor public spaces of Miami Beach, within close proximity to Oceanfront area and the Miami Beach Convention Center. These works will engage directly with the spectator, interrupting the daily routine of passersby in poetic and surprising ways.
The Oceanfront
Occupying an entire city block directly at the heart of Miami Beach’s waterfront, the Oceanfront exhibition area will be purpose-built for the presentation of contemporary art, performance, video, and live music every night. Selected by Art Basel Miami Beach and Creative Time as the winners of an architectural contest, architects Phu Hoang and Rachely Rotem will deploy thousands of feet of reflective rope to create this temporary space.
The Oceanfront Nights program for 2010 features four cities at the forefront of today’s artistic experimentation and cross-disciplinary collaboration: Berlin, Detroit, Glasgow, and Mexico City. From December 1 to December 4, the diverse program will spotlight one city per night, featuring music, video, performances and more. Art Basel Miami Beach and Creative Time have invited four organizations to partner on creating these Oceanfront nights – the Museum of Contemporary Art in Detroit, Museo Tamayo in Mexico City, Tramway in Glasgow, and 032c in Berlin.
Art Basel Conversations
Art Basel Conversations offers audiences access to first-hand information on important aspects of the international artworld, starting the program with the traditional Artist Talk Premiere featuring a legendary artist. Topics for the following panel discussions include ‘Public/Private: Museums in the Digital Age,’ ‘Latin America: The Collector as Catalyst’ and ‘Artistic Practice: The School Makers.’ Distinguished artists, art collectors, museum directors, curators, critics, gallerists, publishers, and others active in the cultural sphere will take part. There is time allotted after each Art Basel Conversation for the audience to meet the panel informally.
Art Salon
Situated in the entrance D area of the Miami Beach Convention Center, Art Salon is a platform for discussion by artworld figures presenting their projects, with an emphasis on the most current themes in contemporary art. Informal in format but international in scope, it also features book launches, artist talks, roundtable discussions and lectures.
Art Film
Art Film is curated by Zurich film connaisseur This Brunner and will feature the award-winning film ‘Waste Land,’ which follows renowned artist Vik Muniz as he journeys from his home base in Brooklyn to his native Brazil and the world’s largest garbage dump, Jardim Gramacho, located on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro. There he photographs an eclectic band of ‘catadores’ – pickers of recyclable materials, to create a new series of works.
Museums and Private Collections
Once again, Miami’s leading private collections – among them the Rubell Family Collection, CIFO, the de la Cruz Collection Contemporary Art Space and Home, and the Dacra Collection – will be opening their homes and warehouses to guests of the international art show. The museums of South Florida, too, will be staging important exhibitions to coincide with Art Basel Miami Beach, including: ‘Susan Rothenberg: Moving in Place’ at the Miami Art Museum; ‘Isaac Julien’ at the Bass Museum; ‘John Storrs: Machine-Age Modernist’ and ‘Nick Cave: Meet Me at the Center of the Earth’ at the Norton Museum; ‘Seduce Me,’ a collaboration by Isabella Rossellini, Andy Byers, and Rick Gilbert at the Wolfsonian-FIU; ‘Bruce Weber: Haiti/Little Haiti’ and ‘Jonathan Meese: Sculpture’ at MOCA Miami; Jim Drain at Locust Projects and the Pearl and Stanley Goodman Latin American Collection at the Museum of Art, Fort Lauderdale.

Noche Latina at Mai Tardi Restaurant 9/16/10
Noche Latina
Sept 16, 9 PM
Mai Tardi Restaurant
163 NE 39th Street
Miami FL 33137
KCC PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS “NOCHE LATINAâ€, A NIGHT OF SALSA AT MAI TARDI RESTAURANT WITH ZARABANDA BAND.
KCC Productions continues their “Noche Latina†series with Zarabanda Band at Mai Tardi restaurant’s outdoor courtyard in the Design District on Thursday, September 16, from 9 to midnight. Party under the stars to some of the best salsa while enjoying a mojito with reasonably-priced Italian cuisine as well as tapas, all without a cover charge!
Zarabanda Band emerged in the late ’90s. They were originally contracted as the house band for the Zarabanda restaurant owned by renowned Cuban singer Willy Chirino. They were first known as “Banda del Callejonâ€, shortly after they began their engagement at the restaurant the band adopted Zarabanda as their performing name.
Within a few months proprietor Willy Chirino was so impressed with how tight the band sounded that he asked them to be his official backing band. Zarabanda traveled with Chirino for a period of 5 years, performing both nationally and internationally.
Since 2004 Zarabanda, under the direction of bassist/arranger Lalo Vazquez, has been in high demand in south Florida among the salsa and Latin music audience. They have performed for audiences in New York city, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Cancún, Panama city, the Canary Islands, and Spain just to name a few.
When not on the road they can be heard at the infamous “Bongos†club owned by Emilio and Gloria Estefan, located adjacent to the American Airlines arena, home of the Miami Heat basketball team. Zarabanda has just released their very first and highly anticipated live recording, now available to the public.
Mai Tardi is an innovative Italian restaurant located at 163 NE 39th Street in the Design District. Its open courtyard provides a romantic setting for repasts ranging from tapas and pizzas to vegan dishes to rack of lamb roasted in their wood-burning oven. Dining Out magazine describes it as “northern Italian cuisine with Mediterranean overtones…a menu marked by intriguing elements like venison ravioli with Gorgonzola sauce and classic wood-fired pizza.â€
For more information about Mai Tardi, visit their web site at www.maitardimiami.com, or call 305-572-1400. For more information about Zarabanda Band, please contact Kimberly Chmura at (305) 332-2623 or visit www.kccproductions.com.

Carefully trained studio facilitators (“trackers”) act as neutral arms, executing the visions of the physically challenged through laser-guided tracking, a regimented line of questions, and other exacting technologies. The artists indicate their choices about what tools, materials, and textures to use and the placement of these on the canvas. The most subtle movements such as a blink or a nod that the tracker can read are all that is required, and the possibilities are endless. The trackers’ job is to follow the artist’s directions with absolute fidelity. This enabling system gives uncompromised creative self-expression to youth with the most severe physical challenges. Artists paint once weekly, free of charge, with a tracker at the CCT studio. Several times through out the year, artists congregate to work with professional artists critiquing pieces, interacting and questioning, gaining knowledge and refining their craftsmanship. The artwork produced is mainstreamed and exhibited alongside the work of other community artists. Pieces are not admired for the artist’s disability, rather, for the quality and depth of their work. Many are spectacular museum quality pieces. CCT-ART increases self-esteem and empowers the spirit. It provides a method of financial gain for the artists who exhibit and sell their work. Fifty percent of the proceeds from the sale of the art go directly to the artist and fifty percent goes to the cost of the program, for the employment of the TRACKER, supplies, materials and facility space. The power of ART is unleashed and the artists’ lives are enriched.
CCT’s vision is clear: providing children and their families the best opportunity to live fully and to lead healthy, active and independent lives enriched with quality, confidence and compassion. What differs is the approach we use to deliver these therapies. We strive to be able to offer the same quality opportunity to all our patients regardless of their economic status.
CCT/A.R.T. presents INSPIRED BY THE BEAT Please join us as we celebrate our 21 special artists and as they honor special guest artist “LEBO” with an evening full of art, music, entertainment, free valet parking, food and drinks.
$20 presale or $30 at the door. ALL proceeds are a donation to the A.R.T. program at CCT, a 501(c)(3) non profit dedicated to the lives of special need children!

COCONUT GROVE by Arva Moore Parks
Book Description:
By the time the City of Miami was born in 1896, Coconut Grove was already a well-defined community with a variety of interesting residents who liked what they found and were willing to fight to keep it that way. Images of America: Coconut Grove tells their story from the native people who called it home to the Bahamians and sophisticated settlers who together shaped its special character. Despite hurricanes, booms, busts, and those who would change it, Coconut Grove remains uniquely itself.
Author Bio:
Award-winning historian Arva Moore Parks has a special affinity for Coconut Grove. She wrote her master’s thesis on its history, and her first book, the Forgotten Frontier, highlighted the photographic work of Ralph Munroe, builder of “the Barnacle.” Working to preserve his historic home launched her passion for historic preservation. Since then, she has authored, coauthored, or contributed to more than 30 books and documentaries on South Florida history and remains a tireless preservationist. Bo Bennett is an author, researcher, and certified paralegal. She wrote Images of America: Lexington, coauthored four other titles with Dr. Nan DeVincent-Hayes, and researched two additional works. Bo was a resident of Miami from 1965 until the early 1990s, and she will always call it home.
Music by Bobby Ingram
Wine and Cheese will be served

Pan American Art Projects. 2450 NW 2nd Avenue. Miami, FL 33127
From Sept 11th through Oct 16th 2010
Admission: Free
Pan American Arts Projects presents new works by Carlos Estevez. In the upcoming exhibition, Oblivion, Estevez continues to reflect on and reference Philosophy, Christian Art, Baroque Sculpture, sacred texts and poetry, and hybrid images of animal and human bodies. Nevertheless, the artist particularly focuses on the evolution of the everyday experience of life, and how the paths that have led us to where we are, are often paved by massacre and devastation. Carlos’ images breathe consciousness back into the psyche, making the viewer realize the history of disparaging traditions that run deep within the soul, self, and mind.
Carlos’ career has been marked by much success and praise in the past two years. Amongst the many acclaims received was a special mention in The Wall Street Journal as one of the most important emerging Cuban artists of this decade. In early 2010 Carlos’ work was acquired as part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Furthermore, The University of Buffalo held the first retrospective of Estevez’s work, Images of the Thought. The show ran from November 5th 2009 – February 13th 2010. Jorge J.E. Gracia, University of Buffalo professor of Philosophy, published a book in conjunction with the exhibition, titled Images of Thought: Philosophical Interpretations of Carlos Estevez’s Art which utilized images of the artist’s work to illustrate philosophical tenants.
Project Room – Carlos Gonzalez: New Works
Carlos Gonzalez’s latest series continues to draw inspiration from nature. His pieces are advanced plant-like mechanism that morph into exploding pods. Like floating Dandelions, his sculptures give the sensation of ease and weightlessness, juxtaposing their strong metallic appearance. Gonzalez’s oeuvre reflects on the evolutionary processes of survival, highlighting the ingenuity of life on Earth.
Both artists will be present at the opening reception, to be held during Wynwood Gallery Walk: Saturday September 11th, 2010 from 7:00 – 10:00 p.m.

O.H.W.O.W presents Ari Marcopoulos No Cause 9/11/10
ARI MARCOPOULOS – NO CAUSE
Opening reception Saturday, September 11, 2010 8pm.
OHWOW
3100 NW 7 Avenue
Miami, FL 33127
305 633 9345
info@oh-wow.com
OHWOW is pleased to announce a solo exhibition of photographic work by Ari Marcopoulos. In his Miami debut, titled No Cause, Marcopoulos presents a series of images chronicling New York’s fledgling skateboard scene from the early 90s. These photographs document the charismatic individuals composing this specific group of skaters and the urban locations they frequented. The work poignantly captures the mood of the time, and its pioneers, just as this now legendary skate movement began to take form.
In 1979, Ari Marcopoulos relocated from his native city of Amsterdam to New York. Fueled with enthusiasm and optimism, he quickly immersed himself in the downtown art scene, which eventually landed him assistantships with Andy Warhol and Irving Penn. During his early New York years, he shot intimate portraits of many vanguard personalities, including Jean-Michel Basquiat, Dennis Hopper, and Keith Haring. Later, his interest in the City’s surfacing hip-hop genre prompted him to document its music, fashion, and assertive attitude. Through his involvement in capturing the aura of hip-hop culture, photographing icons like KRS1 and LL Cool J, he cultivated a friendship with the Beastie Boys, who he subsequently worked with on numerous projects, including Pass the Mic – a book of his previously unpublished black and white images of the band.
Marcopoulos’ penchant for connecting with emerging subcultures drew him to the developing skateboard movement active in New York City during 1993. Black and white photographs and Polaroids from this influential period, as well as a series of large scale photocopied images, capture the youth and defiance indicative of the era. Candid photography, some close-up portraits and others full-frame city scenes, objectively translate the reality of this peripheral lifestyle, while they also manage to soften the otherwise deviant personas associated with the skate world. For three decades Marcopoulos acted as much as a cultural anthropologist as he has an artist. With this exhibition, he offers a window through which a view of back alley behavior and teenage angst is possible to glimpse from the lens of an outsider with unrestricted access.
Ari Marcopoulos exhibited work in the 2002 and 2010 Biennials at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, NY, and previous exhibitions include shows at The Berkeley Art Museum, Berkeley, CA; White Columns, New York, NY; New Orleans Museum of Art, New Orleans, LA; and PS1/MOMA, New York, NY. His work also appeared in publications such as The New York Times, Interview, Paper, and Blind Spot. His public collections include the Detroit Institute of the Arts, Whitney Museum of American Art, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
The opening of No Cause will coincide with the release of Stoopz, published by OHWOW. The 180 page book includes work from the exhibition, as well as additional images. www.oh-wow.com

Good karma and a pool party this Sunday Kids welcome 9/12/10
Hello friends, here is a great way to enjoy your Sunday morning….at the park for a nice walk, some light brunch and a dip in the pool.
Please join us this Sunday, September 12th @ 9am @ Tamiami Park for a 5K Awareness Walk. We are walking on behalf of those families that have Huntington’s Disease, a rare genetic neurological disease. If you mixed Alherimer’s, Parkinson’s and ALS, you would have Huntington’s Disease.
Even though this disease is rare, it does not make it is any less impactful to the people going through it.
REGISTRATION IS FREE…but a small donation is suggested.
To pre-register, go to: www.firstgiving.com/hdsa-sfl
or just show up at the pool at Tamiami Park between 8am and 9am
As for Huntington’s Disease, is as devastating as it is destructive. Because it is genetic, if it runs in your family tree, you have a 50/50 chance of developing it. I know families that have a father taking care of his wife and his son at the same time because both of them have HD! It’s intense. I can explain HD and if effects but I didn’t truly understand until I started watching videos of
families sharing their intimate stories of their loved ones. The footage may be hard to watch but will help you realize why we are all so dedicated in making a cure a reality.

-Drawing is the act of making marks on a surface as to create an image, form or shape-
Crossing the Line
Drawing is a form of visual expression and is one of the major forms within the visual arts. Since prehistoric times, people have made drawings in caves and rocks. From the 14th century onwards paper has become the most common material to make a drawing on. Lately, drawing has become a preferred media for a lot of artists and is no longer just being used as a preparation for a painting. Artists are also experimenting with a diverse array of materials to draw on and draw with. This show will bring together artists from different backgrounds and cultures, as well as different artistic styles but they are all producing art utilizing drawing as their media.
We are also opened September 10 from 6:30-11:00 for Fashion Night Out.

Fredric Snitzer Gallery Presents Gavin Perry Opening Glacier 9/10/10
Gavin Perry Glacier
2247 NW 1st Place Miami, Florida
Opening Reception Friday September 10th, 2010 7 – 10 pm
Fredric Snitzer Gallery is pleased to present Gavin Perry: Glacier, opening Friday, September 10th, 2010 to launch the new season of exhibitions in his gallery at 2247 NW 1st Place. Comprised of a new series of paintings and sculpture, this exhibition will be Perry’s third at Fredric Snitzer Gallery.
A glacier is a large, long-lasting river of ice that is formed on land and moves in response to gravity. A glacier is formed by multi-year ice accretion in mountainous or sloping terrain. In this instance, Glacier is used metaphorically as a referent to the processes employed to create the objects within the exhibition. Perry makes complex paintings and sculpture whose subject is ultimately the process of their creation. Through a series of pours and spills, the artist’s control is relegated to the ideals of chance. Each layer a frozen moment that maintains a sense of fl uidity and movement.
The paintings in the exhibition are comprised of new work and existing pieces that have been re-addressed by Perry. In a departure from previous signature works, Perry has introduced new and aggressive agitations to the austere surfaces. Pours of resin, circular saw cuts, and various scratches act not merely as cancellations to the existing subjects but they resuscitate the stoic past work. Perfection is sterile. The most recent paintings embrace history with a tongue and check look at action painting. Reduced in scale these works needle the masculinity of the epic painters of the ï¬fties and early sixties.
Sculpture, while not new in Perry’s oeuvre, takes on a much stronger role than in exhibitions of the past. By encasing found objects in layer upon layer of resin, previously discarded rubbish is given a new lease on life. The history of their decay forever sealed in resin. The pour off from the objects has been collected to form large columns that reveal their growth like rings of a tree. Frozen monuments that belie their minimalist associations through imperfect fl uidic layering.
Gavin Perry (b. 1971 Philadelphia) lives and works in Miami. Perry has had numerous solo and group exhibitions both nationally and internationally. Since receiving his BFA from the Tyler School of Art, Philadelphia PA, Perry has developed a large body of work that has been recognized by many publications including Flash Art, Art in America and Art Papers. Perry has recently exhibited in Mexico City and Paris France both with Buamet Sultana Gallerie. Spring 2011, Perry will have his second solo exhibition in Houston, TX with the Barbara Davis Gallery. In 2009, Perry was awarded the prestigious South Florida Cultural Consortium which included an exhibition at the University Galleries of FAU.

The Wolfsonian–Fiu Exclusive Dinner During Art Basel Miami Beach Featuring Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten 12/1/10
“The Arts Of Seductionâ€
The Wolfsonian–Fiu To Host An Exclusive Dinner During Art Basel| Miami Beach Featuring The Cuisine Of World-Renowned Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten And Exclusive Wines Flown In From Robert Mondavi Winery Honoring Filmmaker And Actress Isabella Rossellini, In Partnership With Bvlgari
Wednesday evening, December 1, 2010
The Wolfsonian–Florida International University announces an extraordinary evening where the art of film, food, wine, and design converge at a time when Miami is host to one of the most prestigious art and design fairs in the world. The museum will bring together world-renowned chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten and Margrit Mondavi—along with rare wines from the Robert Mondavi Winery—to celebrate the work of Isabella Rossellini, who is collaborating with The Wolfsonian during Art Basel for a site-specific project titled Seduce Me. An auction will follow dinner, featuring large format bottles of Robert Mondavi Winery from a variety of vintages, a special bag designed by Rossellini for Bulgari and a Bulgari men’s watch. This multi-sensory experience will take place at the museum on Wednesday evening, December 1, 2010. Only 100 tickets will be available.
Seduce Me is a new installation commissioned by the museum, which takes its name from a series of short videos produced, directed, written, and performed by Rossellini, exploring the unconventional seduction rituals of creatures ranging from bugs to cuttlefish. Rossellini notes, “After my comical series, Green Porno, on how animals mate, I wanted to showcase a new series about how animals seduce each other with different, varied and incredible strategies…they might give us some new ideas about how to conquer our mates!” The videos feature Rossellini speaking directly to the camera about the creature at hand, and uses animation, paper cut-outs, and puppets made by Andy Byers and art directed by Rick Gilbert, to illustrate its particular, often peculiar, mating strategies. The Seduce Me installation will be presented in the lobby and the auditorium from Wednesday, December 1 through Sunday, December 5, 2010 at The Wolfsonian.
The gala benefit is being supported by Robert Mondavi Winery, which has a long tradition of enriching life by embracing wine, food, and the arts that was largely initiated by Margrit Mondavi when she joined Robert Mondavi in business back in 1967. Under her direction, Robert Mondavi Winery developed original cultural and culinary arts programs that are now benchmarks for the wine world. With the enthusiastic support of her late husband, she created a showplace for painters, sculptors, photographers, jazz and
classical musicians and the great chefs of the world, including Jean-Georges Vongerichten, with whom she developed a long-standing friendship. Jean-Georges is preparing an original menu to complement a selection of Robert Mondavi Winery selections, including the I-Block Fume Blanc, a limited production wine that is only available at the Winery, crafted from the oldest Sauvignon Blanc vines in the country within the esteemed To Kalon Vineyard. Another highlight will include a library vintage Robert Mondavi Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve in addition to the current 2007 vintage.
The Wolfsonian is delighted to partner with Bulgari, the Italian luxury brand known for its exceptional jewels, watches, accessories, fragrances and hotels. Isabella has commented, “My connection with Bulgari dates back to when I was a child and I’d accompany my mother to the historic shop in Via Condotti in Rome. She loved Bulgari jewels; I remember the ones she bought very clearly. Still today, when I’m traveling and I come across a Bulgari store, I feel a pleasant sense of familiarity that makes me feel close to the beauty and subtlety of Italian culture, of my own roots.†This year, Isabella collaborated with Bulgari to create the Rossellini Handbag, a handbag distinguished by simple, essential lines that reflects the beauty and rigor of its muse. Bulgari’s generous support of the Wolfsonian event honoring Rossellini further celebrates the brand’s connection to her.
Speaking of the very special occasion being planned for December 1, Cathy Leff, director of The Wolfsonian notes, “I am so thrilled and honored that the illustrious chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten has accepted our invitation to prepare an extraordinary meal for the occasion and that Margrit Mondavi will attend to represent Robert Mondavi Winery—enabling the museum not only to celebrate our collaboration with Isabella Rossellini, but also to showcase the culinary arts and seduce the international crowd that will descend on Miami Beach this year. Further, our partnership with Bulgari enhances our relationship with Italian design and ensures a most stylish evening.â€
Tickets to this exclusive dinner are $1,000 per person; capacity is limited. For additional information, contact Michael Hughes at 305.535.2602 or michael@thewolf.fiu.edu.
About Robert Mondavi Winery and Margrit Mondavi
Robert Mondavi’s pioneering vision stands on three pillars: putting California wines in the company of the great wines of the world; creating a wine culture that put a diverse range of California wines on every American table; and enriching life by embracing wine, food, and the arts as an integral part of gracious living. Founded in 1966, Robert Mondavi Winery is the shining symbol of Napa Valley. The first major winery built in Napa Valley in the three decades since the repeal of Prohibition (1933), Robert Mondavi Winery went on to establish the foundation for the modern-day California wine business. With the philosophy that great wines reflect their origins, Robert Mondavi Winery pursues the fullest expression of the terroir of its Napa Valley vineyards. For additional information about Robert Mondavi Winery visit www.robertmondavi.com.
Margrit Biever Mondavi is Vice President of Cultural Affairs at Robert Mondavi Winery. A pioneering woman of the modern-day California wine industry, she joined the winery in 1967, pursuing a life-long interest in uniting wine with fine arts, music and culinary artistry. A native of Appenzell, Switzerland, Margrit was raised in her family home overlooking Lake Maggiore, in the canton of Ticino, nurtured by parents with a passion for opera and symphonic music, good wine and fine food. Married to Robert Mondavi from 1980 until his passing in 2008, Margrit traveled with him around the world, upholding the family’s philosophy that all the arts contribute to an enhanced quality of life.

About Isabella Rossellini
Moving easily from early forays into comedy and television reporting to roles in movies, television, and stage productions and from an illustrious international modeling career (as the face of Lancôme for 14 years) and developing her own brand of cosmetics to writing and philanthropy, and after appearing in more than 40 films (Blue Velvet, Death Becomes Her, The Saddest Music in the World, Infamous) and 25 made-for-television movies/series (Alias, Discovery Atlas: Italy Revealed, Iconoclasts, 30 Rock), Isabella Rossellini turned her eye to film making. Her debut was her mischievous and witty film, My Dad is 100 Years Old, a pretend dialogue about the essence of film. In it, Rossellini appears as herself, speaks her father’s words, and also brilliantly portrays Fellini, Selznick, Hitchcock, Chaplin, and her own mother, notable actress Ingrid Bergman, whom she strikingly resembles.
Rossellini recently wrapped production on French director Julie Gavras’ romantic comedy Late Bloomers, opposite William Hurt, which is set for release in 2011. She also stars in the following films: Keyhole, directed by Guy Maddin; Chicken with Plums, directed by Marjane Satrapi; and The Solitude of Prime Numbers, directed by Saverio Costanzo.
In 2008 Robert Redford’s Sundance Channel commissioned Rossellini to make a series of short films to address the issues of the environment. She chose the mating habits of bugs and called her series Green Porno which has been celebrated in film festivals here and abroad. In 2009, she won the Webby Award for “Best Individual Performance” for Green Porno. She has once again been nominated this year for the same award. For the second series, which involves sea creatures, she took courses in biology at New York University. In addition to the shorts on the Sundance Channel, a book of Green Porno was released last fall which included all three seasons of the shorts: http://www.sundancechannel.com/greenporno/
On the heels of the great success of Green Porno, Rossellini has partnered up with Sundance again for a new series about animal courtship entitled Seduce Me. The first five short films became available on video on demand in the spring and the second five will be released in November 2010.
Rossellini is also a wildlife activist and dedicated trainer of Labrador puppies for the blind. She was recently honored by The Audubon Society for her work. She has written three books: Some of Me, Looking at Me, and In the Name of the Father, the Daughter and the Holy Spirits: Remembering Roberto Rossellini. Between movie and film making projects, she lectures at performing arts centers throughout the United States and Canada.
About Jean-Georges Vongerichten
Jean Georges Vongerichten, one of the world’s most famous chefs, is a savvy businessman and restaurateur and responsible for the operation and success of a constellation of three- and four-star restaurants worldwide.
Born and raised on the outskirts of Strasbourg in Alsace, France, Jean-Georges’ earliest family memories are about food. He trained in a work-study program at the Auberge de l’Ill and as an apprentice to Chef Paul Haeberlin. He went on to work under Paul Bocuse and Master Chef Louis Outhier at L’Oasis in southern France. With this impressive three-star Michelin training, Jean-Georges traveled to Asia and took positions at the Oriental Hotel in Bangkok, the Meridien Hotel in Singapore, and the Mandarin Hotel in Hong Kong.
It was during this time spent working and traveling throughout Asia that Jean-Georges developed his love for the exotic and aromatic flavors of the East. His signature cuisine abandons the traditional use of meat stocks and creams and instead features the intense flavors and textures from vegetable juices, fruit essences, light broths, and herbal vinaigrettes. Jean-Georges’ culinary vision has redefined industry standards and revolutionized the way we eat.
Jean-Georges has published several cookbooks reflecting his influential style of cooking, including Simple Cuisine (Wiley, 1990); Cooking at Home with a Four Star Chef (Broadway Books, 1998), for which he won the Best Cookbook Award from the James Beard Foundation in 1999; and Simple to Spectacular (Broadway Books, 2000). In October 2007, he released Asian Flavors of Jean-Georges, featuring beloved recipes from his restaurants Spice Market, Vong, and 66.
Involved in every aspect of his restaurants, from concept, to menu, to architectural design, staff selection and all the finishing touches, Jean-Georges and partner Phil Suarez have worked together for over seventeen years to create restaurants that are both timely and enduring. Inspired by his travels, Jean-Georges is constantly developing fresh concepts and evolving as a chef and restaurateur, both adapting to and impacting the global culinary landscape.
2009 was a whirlwind for Chef Vongerichten and his seasoned team. They opened 7 restaurants in cities across the United States, and one in Vancouver, Canada. Today, Jean-Georges is working on two projects in New York—the Mark by Jean-Georges, at the Mark Hotel, and ABC Kitchen, at ABC Carpet & Home. The latter is another pioneering step for Chef Vongerichten, where he will be cooking local, sustainable food in an equally local and sustainable space.
Jean-Georges is the Master Cook for Food & Wine magazine. He has appeared on Live! With Regis and Kelly, the Today Show, Good Morning America, The Martha Stewart Show, The Early Show on CBS, Top Chef, the Food Network, and in the 1995 PBS series In Julia’s Kitchen with Master Chefs.
Jean-Georges has made culinary history and developed a reputation as remarkable as his food by tapping his deep understanding of the restaurant world and pairing it with his forward-thinking vision. Yet, after years of success, Jean-Georges’ favorite retreat is still the kitchen and his favorite meals dished from a street cart in Thailand.

The Wolfsonian–Fiu Presents Isabella Rossellini Seduce Me An Installation In Celebration of Art Basel Miami Beach 12/1-5/10
The Wolfsonian–Florida International University presents Seduce Me, a collaboration with Isabella Rossellini, Andy Byers, and Rick Gilbert in celebration of Art Basel | Miami Beach 2010.
Wednesday, December 1 through Sunday, December 5, 2010
The Wolfsonian
1001 Washington Avenue, Miami Beach, FL
Seduce Me is an installation project that takes its name from a series of short videos created by Isabella Rossellini exploring the unconventional seduction rituals of creatures ranging from bugs to cuttlefish. A site-specific project commissioned for The Wolfsonian, it features complex and imaginative paper sculptures made by Andy Byers that are used in the videos for sets, props, and costumes, and the Seduce Me videos created, produced, directed, written, and performed by Rossellini and produced and art directed by Rick Gilbert.
“The Seduce Me videos, the brainchild of Isabella Rossellini’s fertile mind, are realized by an extraordinary team of creative talent,†explains Marianne Lamonaca, The Wolfsonian’s associate director for curatorial affairs and education.†Elaborating on the themes of the videos, Andy Byers has designed for The Wolfsonian a fantastical landscape, populated by awe-inspiring creatures and made primarily of paper, that conveys the complex, ingenious, and precious attributes of nature.â€
The Seduce Me installation will be presented in the lobby and the auditorium, from Wednesday, December 1 through Sunday, December 5, 2010 at The Wolfsonian.
Regarding the videos, Rossellini notes, “After my comical series, Green Porno, on how animals mate, I wanted to showcase a new series about how animals seduce each other with different, varied and incredible strategies…they might give us some new ideas about how to conquer our mates!” The videos feature Rossellini speaking directly to the camera about the creature at hand, and uses animation, paper cut-outs, and puppets to illustrate its particular, often peculiar, mating strategies. The upcoming episodes of Seduce Me can be found at http://www.sundancechannel.com/greenporno/video/.
The site also features episodes of Green Porno, Rossellini’s multiple Webby Award-winning series, along with exclusive photos and videos.
Other events in conjunction with the Seduce Me installation include a reception on Friday, December 3 at 8pm, which is open to Art Basel | Miami Beach and Design Miami VIP cardholders as well as Wolfsonian Diplomat-level members and above.

Typoe Bang Bang Solo Exhibition at Spinello Gallery 9/11/10
SPINELLO GALLERY: 155 NE 38th Street, No. 101, Miami, Florida – 33137
SOLO: TYPOE | “BANG BANG.”
ENCORE RECEPTION: Saturday, September 11th, 7-10pm
Spinello Gallery is proud to present the much-anticipated solo exhibition by TYPOE, “BANG BANG.” The multimedia exhibition features works on paper and sculpture. This will be TYPOE’s second solo exhibition with Spinello Gallery.
Cast between worlds of opposing values, at once an anonymous prestidigitator and high-ranking glitterati, TYPOE straddles an unseen fence. His handiwork, which swaths billboards, public arenas, and buildings literally rotting with neglect, has expanded from the crumbling edifice of a cultural misnomer into the social spotlight. By nature a commenter, a heckler, his self-referential styling’s are violent and poetic in equal measure. Illuminating parodies between gang relations and organized religion, corporations and the massacre of war, TYPOE’s mixed media creations range from factory finished luxury items and graphics to vandalized found objects that flaunt a punk-like disregard for beauty. Simmering for the moment under the lid of ‘the gallery’, “BANG BANG.” is where these fetishistic, narcissistic articles resonate with devastating potential and beget insurgent thoughts.
Opening Reception: Saturday, September 11th, 2010 / Exhibition through October 2nd, 2010.

Mallory and Lianne Lopez debut MaLi Beads at the Viceroy Hotel to raise funds for Mali Africa 9/10/10
New Miami-Based Jewelry Line is all About Giving Back
September 10, 2010, 5-11:00
Viceroy Hotel, Club 50
485 Brickell Avenue
Miami, FL 33131
Local designers and entrepreneurs Mallory and Lianne Lopez will debut their new jewelry line, MaLi Beads at the Viceroy Hotel in an effort to raise funds for one of the poorest nations in the world, Mali, Africa. Donations to MaLi Beads from those in attendance will support Save the Children, a leading organization recognized for their commitment to children in Mali.
About MaLi Beads
Named after its creators and designers Mallory and Lianne Lopez (connected by years of friendship, not relation), MaLi Beads reveals a deeper purpose with every concept. It was one coincidence that the two girls’ first names were a perfect combination of what was to become their signature line; but it was truly fate that both shared a desire to represent one of the poorest nations in the world, Mali. Through art and design, the two Miami-based entrepreneurs are driven to support the third world country with their “From MaLi, For Mali” campaign. Founded in 2009, the MaLi Beads line offers handmade jewelry collections in an eclectic range of designs inspired by the country’s eight regions. With the juxtaposition of varied mixed beads and the introduction of colorful elements, MaLi Bead’s pieces seamlessly combine an African-chic vibe with timeless sophistication. MaLi Beads is rooted in a triangle philosophy that continues to drive the brand’s inspiration: friendship, fashion and philanthropy. For more information please visit: www.MaLiBeads.com.
