David Castillo Presents
Art Basel Miami Beach: Quisqueya Henriquez
David Castillo Gallery: Five Solo Shows
David Castillo Annex: Troglodytes see better in the dark
Quisqueya Henriquez
Collage Made According to the Laws of Change
Art Basel Miami Beach, Art Positions Booth P2
Collins Avenue between 21st and 22nd Street, Miami Beach
December 4 – December 7, 2008
David Castillo Gallery is proud to present Collage Made According to the Laws of Change, a solo show by Quisqueya Henriquez at Art Basel Miami Beach, Art Positions Booth P2. In dissecting a sinewy bicep or the angle of a bat against the sky from newspaper cutouts, Henriquez creates collaged figures bordering on the mythical, surreal, and grotesque. Her works display hyperbolic elements of masculinity, power, and dexterity; the object referent is replaced by a satire of the velocity of cultural stereotypes, namely fetishized abilities of Latin Americans. The individual identities of Henriquez’s characters are as distorted as the misperceptions germinated by spectators. Prompted by her Cuban- Dominican heritage, Henriquez stages an intervention of transnational honesty in aesthetics that would make George Grosz blush.
The artist’s physical hybrids also composite high art practice and a colloquial pastime. Ten collage works are based on Seurat’s Woman Singing in a Café Chantant. The shared title of her collages, Collage Made According to the Laws of Change, puns Hans Arp’s oft-utilized Collage Made According to the Laws of Chance. By evoking deliberate change rather than chance in the face of Art History, Henriquez suggests that pictorial representations contain the power to deflate as much as aggravate cultural one- dimensionality.
Henriquez transforms the Art Positions container’s interior with a site-specific installation using a textile pattern created by Danish architect Arne Jacobsen, further embedding her collage works in European Art History and contrasting the lack of infrastructure of many nations outside of the European context. Henriquez is above all a practitioner who asks her audience not only to recognize beautiful art and ugly stereotypes, but engage in creating intertextuality between brown and white, reality and propaganda, formal and informal.
After graduating from the prestigious Instituto Superior de Arte in Havana in 1992, Henriquez has exhibited throughout Latin America, Europe, and the United States. Her work is in important private and public collections including El Museo del Barrio, New York; Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami, FL; Miami Art Museum; Cintas Foundation, NY; Rhode Island School of Design; and Coleccion Patricia Phelps de Cisneros, NY, among many others. The September 2007 issue of ARTnews named Henriquez one of 25 art world trendsetters. Before traveling to the Miami Art Museum, Henriquez’s mid-career retrospective at the Bronx Museum of the Arts garnered a review in the New York Times.
Five Solo Shows
Aramis Gutierrez, Glexis Novoa, Leyden Rodriguez-Casanova, Frances Trombly, Wendy Wischer
David Castillo Gallery
2234 NW 2nd Avenue, Miami
December 1, 2008 – January 3, 2009
Reception December 6, 7 – 11 pm
Concurrently with our participation at Art Basel Miami Beach, David Castillo Gallery opens two exhibitions. In the main gallery, David Castillo presents new work by gallery artists Aramis Gutierrez, Glexis Novoa, Leyden Rodriguez-Casanova, Frances Trombly, and Wendy Wischer in Five Solo Shows.
For over a decade, Wendy Wischer has camped at the intersection of solaced nature and societal technology, creating introspective works in sound, light, and sculpture. Wischer’s work, concerned with how a single set of principles can be found throughout the universe, becomes both soothing and provocative in our modern time of despair. Glexis Novoa renders cityscapes and their instruments of conflict like peering into a curio cabinet and coming face-to-horizon with societal apocalypse in miniature. His graphite drawings on marble are almost voyeuristic in their detail.
Aramis Gutierrez’s oil paintings unload personal and historic conflict on an epic scale. His storytelling equates sun blisters and love pains, labyrinthine woods and Evolutionary Psychology. Leyden Rodriguez-Casanova challenges the absoluteness of stories associated with our utilization and memory of everyday objects. Frances Trombly also retells stories of domesticity in a voice laced with feminist awareness. Trombly employs traditionally effeminate techniques to turn new scrutiny upon daily life.
Troglodytes see better in the dark
Jesse Bercowetz, Stephan Goldrajch, Andrew Guenther, The Icelandic Love Corporation, Dan Kopp, Susan Lee-Chun, Pepe Mar, Tiffany Pollack, Michael Velliquette, Jaimie Warren
David Castillo Annex
2234 NW 2nd Avenue, Miami
December 1, 2008 – January 3, 2009
Reception December 6, 7 – 11 pm
David Castillo Annex, immediately adjacent to the main gallery, announces its inaugural exhibition, Troglodytes see better in the dark, with works by Jesse Bercowetz, Stephan Goldrajch, Andrew Guenther, The Icelandic Love Corporation, Dan Kopp, Susan Lee-Chun, Pepe Mar, Tiffany Pollack, Michael Velliquette, and Jaimie Warren.
From the shadowy libido of Bercowetz’s organic assemblages, Mar’s comic nightmare scaffolding, and Velliquette’s paper creatures; within the deep space of Guenther’s aliens and the depths of Lee-Chun’s cultural identities; behind Warren’s theatrical make-up and Goldrajch’s canopic masks; with the dusk of Kopp’s neon apocalypse, the dawn of Pollack’s prehistoric vegetation, and the Nordic perspective of The Icelandic Love Corporation; down the fathoms of our subcultures and psyches live creaturely sensibilities with the night vision to transcend the modern conflict of our waking lives.
The works in Troglodytes see better in the dark possess the valor to see what less absurd beings cannot: humor, hope, community, and spirituality in socio-political darkness. Some troglodytes, such as Bercowetz’s unwieldy amalgamations cobbled together with cable and epoxy, come from chaos. Some, such as Mar’s sculptures inspired by electronic music and pop consumerism and Warren’s disguised self-portraits, come from cult culture. Some, such as Velliquette’s hand-cut paper dioramas and Lee- Chun’s bifurcated racial personas, come from the rituals of otherness. Seen together, one develops the impression that these troglodytes are social creatures, and their artists’ emphasis on crafts and craftsmanship create a valuable nostalgia for epochs when humans lived communally with nature and one another. Regardless from under which underbelly these troglodytes crawl, all are beacons of The Icelandic Love Corporation’s belief that, even in the face of nihilism, inhibitions, and the technological prowess of post-postmodernism, “love redeems us all.”
Anybody want to host an art fair? Who knew it was going to be so hard to just find a venue to hold a little art show at? Certainly not I! Dozens of calls later, it is getting ridiculous. Either the place is unavailable, or they don’t do that kind of thing, or they would be happy to host it but want to charge an arm and a leg. But, mainly, people just don’t answer the freaking phone.
Well, the search goes on. I’m sure something will show up soon, then we’ll be rolling.
Yes, that is correct, Soul of Miami is producing an art fair, with the help of several very good people, of course. For more information, please check out Life Is Art. There really is not much information there, yet, but we will be updating as we go along.
If you have a venue or know of a venue that would be a good potential, please contact us. We are looking for a space around 2000 square feet. If you are an artist interested in showing, definitely let us know.
Join us Wednesday Thanksgiving Eve at the Florida Room-Live music at 10PM

Introducing eco-friendly artists, curators, sustainable designers and galleries to new audiences internationally has made green art fair MIAMI the most comprehensive destination for the eco-friendly art and design world available anywhere.
green art fair MIAMI offers the 20 participating art and design galleries, art projects and attending eco-art collector’s access to a unique environment and the ideal space truly superior to any of the other satellite fairs. It is the perfect platform for modern and contemporary galleries and design firms presenting art works and designs that bring new ideas for green living.
Sustainability, economy and efficiency are some of the positive implications that go hand in hand with using recycled/reused materials in art and design, yet the social and cultural implications of reusing materials in the context of art elicit strong support, and we believe, is one of the best ways to reduce waste. Art also is one of the universal languages that can help to stimulate human sensibilities to cause actions and reactions. Since the Dada movement of the early 20th Century, artists and designers have been re-using found objects as a way of commenting on consumer culture, industrial production and the meaning of art. Recycling as a design strategy is often associated with environmentalism, yet it is clearly is more complex than just a desire to tread lightly on the planet. green art fair MIAMI will highlight the different reasons and ways that artists and designers use reclaimed materials in their work and the different cultural implications that these varying strategies invoke. green art USA as an environmental friendly team has taken a number of additional steps to reduce the fair’s environmental impact as part of our contribution to the green movement.
Our online application system and increased electronic communication have reduced the amount of paper used by fair organizers compared to previous years.
The 15,000 sf tent fabric is reused and aluminum recycled and is part sponsor by their Canadian enviro-friendly manufacturer International Tentnology Corp.
We will be using LEDs technology to light up the entire tent, sponsored by Visual Formula LLC. and Omni Stage LLC. All the power we will be using in our events everyday is going to be Solar powered sponsor by our mother Nature Sun, Green-Energy-Products Corp. , Electron Industries and Electron Solar Energy Corp.
We have a program to donate all the tent’s interior design materials to the Habitat for Humanity cause. They will sell the donated items through their Re-store and be the recipients of all proceeds from the 100-Chairs-For-A- Cause Art Project. The goal of this unique art project, sponsored by green art USA, Valley Forge Fabrics and Waste Management Corporation, is to raise enough funds for Habitat for Humanity to build one low-income house locally as part of their Green Movement Miami Mission.
We are going to recycle all waste generated at the event through program sponsor Waste Management Corporation.
We will give away reusable shopping bags that are environmentally friendly, durable and effective to all the attendees. These bags will contain all the promotional material in the art fair and then can be re- used for grocery shopping as part or our campaign “because any action matters…†Concept created by green art USA with the generous support of sponsors: City of Miami, Valley Forge Fabrics and Soho Myriad Corporation.

Lawrence Savage Galleries, with locations in Coral Gables and the Miami Design District, announced today that it will represent contemporary furniture designer / maker Andrew Muggleton, whose work will be available at both galleries. Savage, who met the designer at a show in Palm Beach, said he was immediately taken with Muggleton’s work, and the two quickly struck a deal. “I just love his furniture and his sense of style,†said Savage, “and I think he will add an exciting new dimension to both galleries.†The galleries are located at 66 N.E. 40th Street, in the Design District, and 4217 Ponce de Leon Blvd. in Coral Gables. Telephone (305) 446-1222.
[Tall Curved Drawers (One Of A Kind) – Makore drawer fronts are framed in Ebonized oak. The drawer handles are carved from Ebonized Oak. Sand blasted glass has been profiled and built into the sides of the drawers. The curved drawers are created by bending thin layers of wood together and gluing them. Dimensions: 60in H X 23in. W X 22in D (Click on image for larger view)]
Andrew Muggleton is a true artisan who creates stunning furniture designs, many of which are one-of-a-kind. In designing his contemporary furniture, Muggleton combines extraordinary woods with metal and glass to create furnishings with spare, elegant lines. Dining room tables and chairs, console tables, beds, entertainment units and sets of drawers are crafted with a nod to comfort and an eye towards beauty. His furniture designs are innovative but not complicated, and usually feature large curves and a mix of materials – solid wood, veneer, metal and glass.
[Aluminum Dining Table – Rectangle dining table made using Bird’s Eye maple and Aluminum curved supports. All dining tables are custom made to order to any size. Materials: Bird’s Eye maple Wood, Aluminum curved supports with a glass top. Dimensions as shown: 64in (L) x 42 (W) x 30in (H) (Click on image for larger view)]
SIMPLIFY, SIMPLIFY, SIMPLIFY
Much like Henry David Thoreau, a complex man of many talents who worked hard to shape his craft and his life, simplicity is a hallmark of Muggleton’s design philosophy. “Keeping a design simple and avoiding the trap of filling empty space with unnecessary clutter is my most difficult – and most rewarding – challenge,†says the British born designer who now works out of his studio in Longmont, Colorado. “Simplicity in life is difficult and complicated to achieve,†added Muggleton. “It is easy to have too much going on and spend too much time organizing it.â€
COMPLEX PROCESS YIELDS GRACEFUL ELEGANCE
Muggleton creates high quality modern furniture by bending and shaping exotic woods and blending other materials such as metal and glass to achieve the desired outcome. “The method of making curved furniture is a complex process, which has been practiced for centuries,†says Muggleton, who went on to explain: “Many thin layers of wood are joined together, placed on a mould and inserted into a vacuum press. The vacuum press shrinks itself around the mould, contorting the wood over the new shape. The press delivers a cumulative pressure of almost 4 tons over the new design.†Once the body of the work had been created in this way, says Muggleton, the same process is used to apply beautiful veneer onto the surface.
[Lotus Bench – Bent Bird’s Eye maple ends enclose the natural flowing arched base, inlaid with wenge. The seat is upholstered in Ultra-suede. Materials: Bird’s Eye Maple and Wenge wood and upholstered in Ultra-suede – Available in other woods and sizes. Dimensions as shown: 23in (W) x 71in (L) x 31in (H) – Three Person Bench, 20in (W) x 60in (L) x 31in (H) – Two Person Bench (Click on image for larger view)]
Elements of engineering, structure and architecture are all incorporated into Muggleton’s work, and each serve to inspire him daily. “Buildings, bridges and archways new and old all provide a fundamental foundation for my designs,†he says. Explaining his affinity for creating curved furniture, Muggleton says, “Everything in nature is curved, from the smooth pebbles on a beach to an egg. Sharp jagged edges do not make you feel at ease; but a field of straw bending in the wind, now that is inviting. This is the reason my work involves such beautiful and subtle curves.â€
[Macassar Chaise Lounge – Beautifully stitched and upholstered leather supports are secured to stainless steel curved rails. The headrest is also upholstered in leather. The base is curved and tapered in Macassar Ebony, which is considered one of the most lustrous and beautiful of the ebony wood family and is notoriously difficult to bend. The seat can be positioned at an infinite number of angles for whether you are reading or simply relaxing. Materials: Macassar Ebony wood and Stainless Steel and Leather. Dimensions as shown: 20in (W) x 59in (L) x 29in (H) – Available in other woods and sizes (Click on image for larger view)]
Andrew Muggleton was born in Aldershot, England. He graduated from Nottingham Trent University with a degree in manufacturing engineering and worked throughout the world as a design engineer before moving to the United States in 1999 to develop his passion for furniture design. His work has been featured in a number of well respected magazines, including The Robb Report, Architecture & Design of the West, Northern Home, Phoenix Home & Garden Magazine and Wood Art Today.

Youth Expressions performs Saturday!
Green Family Foundation and Youth Expressions celebrate a triumphant return from NY with a special Miami performance!
DATE: Saturday, November 22, 2008
TIME: 4:00pm
LOCATION: The White Room, 1306 N Miami Avenue
Click here for a map!
COST: Free!
Also on the program will be Green Family Foundation president Kimberly Green, Youth Expressions Executive Director Mike Rosenfeld and CBS4’s Jim Defede, all of whom will address the good work Youth Expressions has accomplished in and for the community.
Youth Expressions, the Little Haiti-based youth group that uses hip hop and spoken word to address social concerns, returns to Miami after performing in New York as part of this year’s Keep a Child Alive Summit, founded by Grammy Award winning recording artist Alicia Keys and activist Leigh Blake.
The Keep a Child Alive Student AIDS Summit was held after its star studded kick off, The Black Ball, with live performances by Alicia Keys, Justin Timberlake, Adele and Emmanuel Jal. This year’s Black Ball honorees included Queen Latifah, Simon Fuller and Jackie Branfield, Executive Director of Operation Bobbi Bear. Keep a Child Alive is a New York-based non-profit founded to address the AIDS pandemic ravaging Africa. Their work makes it possible for children and families to obtain life saving AIDS drugs and support for survival. (100% of their donations go to their cause.)
Youth Expressions was invited to perform after being recommended by Green Family Foundation president Kimberly Green, presenting sponsor of the Keep a Child Alive Student AIDS Summit, and featured speaker. Youth Expressions addresses social concerns in their Little Haiti neighborhood and, by extension, those in Haiti itself, where the Green Family Foundation is also active in fighting AIDS as well as poverty. The Green Family Foundation is a private non profit organization dedicated to supporting social programs that positively impact global health and alleviate poverty.
Youth Expressions will perform on Saturday, November 22, 2008 at 4:00pm at The White Room in Downtown Miami. They will perform the very same original piece they performed in New York, as well as other selections from the group’s repertoire.
Special Thanks to the Green Family Foundation

Portraits Leonardo Hidalgo • Shie Moreno
Saturday, November 22, 8 pm – until
Hidalgo, Portrait of Linda Evangelista, acrylic on canvas, 2003, 70 x 50 in
Leonardo Hildalgo
Breaking the mold of traditional portraiture, Ecuadorian born Hidalgo crosses the line between graphic art and fine art, his recent work focuses on his subject’s face. He holds firmly that eyes are windows of the soul and that a person’s essence is captured within. Hidalgo portraits are more than a reflection of a person’s image. He studies his subjects closely to identify their personality. Each brushstroke and color is considered to bring the best of that person into the canvas. Hidalgo lives and works in Miami. He has gained notoriety with his dynamic and provocative fine art, murals and portraits; “I will never lose the child I have inside me. It is what makes me see this tough world beautifully and allows me to survive.†Today his paintings are a true reflection of that vision.
Shie Moreno
Shie was born in La Habana,Cuba, migrated to Los Angeles and moved to Miami. Life in L.A. is where Shie was introduced to an emerging subculture defined by distinctive musical, dance and art forms that captured the essence of the surrounding urban environment. As inner city tensions rose between different groups in East L.A., Shie and his family moved to West Miami. Touched by the energy in the streets, Shie began to explore the world of aerosol art. Experimenting with this new medium became a defining feature in this artist’s ventures in the city, in his many quests to visibly conquer the streets of Miami. Rather than assimilating to the mainstream, he asserts his own path as an artist. Since the millennium, Shie’s shifted his focus to creating art to be enjoyed indoors, while remaining active as a street artist. He proclaims that through his art he can understand himself and his purpose on earth. His study of calligraphy, sketch work and imagery become synthesized in his work, resulting in spontaneity poised with earnest examination of color, letterforms and composition.

Innovative “Art Video – New Media†Lounge Sponsored by Blackrock at Art Miami 2008
Art Miami 2008 (www.art-miami.com) will have a unique, Art Video–New Media Lounge organized by curator Asher Remy Toledo and sponsored by BlackRock, the nation’s largest asset manager. The 4,000-square-foot lounge will be the biggest at any of the Miami art fairs and will present work from six, major, international, art institutions including: The Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation, Miami, U.S. (CIFO), The Foundation for Art and Creative Technology in Liverpool, U.K. (FACT), The Palazzo Delle Arti Napoli, Naples, Italy (PAN), The Center for Contemporary Art, Tel Aviv, Israel (CCA), The Iberia Center for Contemporary Art, Beijing, China and The Ullens Center for Contemporary Art, Beijing, China. NMR Staging and Events will provide necessary equipment and technical assistance.
New media art emerged at the end of 20th century. It uses new technologies for critical and experimental purposes and is concerned with the cultural, political and aesthetic possibilities of these tools. The internet, advances in information technology and the familiarity of computers and video to a new generation of artists were the impetus for the current global, international new media movement.
Work presented at Art Miami by the participating museums and foundations will include:
• CIFO – Movement as Meditations on Modernity presents work by four artists with different approaches to movement as an inherent aspect to technology and as a meditation on modernity and modern art and its many traditions. Included are: Venezuelan artists Alexander Apóstol and Magdalena Fernandez, Brazilian artist Amilcar Packer and Colombian artist Ãcaro Zorbar. Curated by Cecilia Fajardo-Hill.
• FACT – Fireworks, a high definition video by Nick Crowe and Ian Rawlinson made in 2007. Crowe and Rawlinson have collaborated since 1994. Their new video work focuses on the complexities of faith and the transformative potential of fire and light. Fireworks examine cultural conventions, tensions and misunderstandings. Curated by Heather Corcoran.
• PAN – Deadly Storms, Bjorn Melhus’s 2008 three-channel video installation is based on appropriated audio footage from the Fox News Network. Three identical talking heads on three vertical screens repeat phrases and statements of alert and threat. The repetitive elements are set to a rhythm and exercise a hypnotic power over the viewer. Curated Julia Draganovic.
• CCA – Dancing for Maya (2005) and Salame (2008), videos by artist Sigalit Landau explore the creative process in Tel Aviv. Curated by Manon Slome.
• IBERIA CENTER FOR CONTEMPORARY ART – Mist, a 2008 video animation by Zhang Xiatao. The artist uses the microscopic animal world to explore the angst and restlessness caused by the transformation of contemporary China. The country’s socialist heritage – what remains and what has died – and the Chinese identity in the context of globalization are examined. Curated by Carmen Blanquez.
• ULLENS CENTER FOR CONTEMPORARY ART – Long March! Restart – Feng Mengbo’s video game uses Chairman Mao’s famous Long March as a theme. The artist’s goal is to use the computer and digital technology to breakaway from accepted norms of the media art genre and to see if the viewer can complete the Long March sitting on a chair. Curated by Jerome Sans.

I am delighted to invite you to renew your acquaintance with fine art from Vietnam. In recent years I have curated shows in Europe (London and Amsterdam) and Vietnam, in museums and galleries, and it is with great pleasure that I now return to show in the US.
I will be exhibiting Vietnamese contemporary fine art in the coming weeks in two prestigious Florida shows. The first venue is Art Asia, a satellite fair of Art Basel in Miami and the dates are December 4-7th, 2008. The second venue is Palm Beach 3 Contemporary Art Fair, in Palm Beach and the dates are January 15-18th, 2009.
The four artists whose works I will be showing are: Vu Thu Hien, Dinh Thi Tham Poong, Dang Thao Ngoc and Trinh Tuan. Hien and Poong work in vibrant watercolor on handmade paper, Ngoc in bold oil on canvas, and Tuan in intricate lacquer on wood. Since you last saw and admired these artists’ work, their art and reputations have developed internationally.
Hien was awarded the Image of the Day by the London Times. Poong has appeared on the Arts Page of the International Herald Tribune. Both Hien and Poong were awarded Ford Foundation scholarships and have works in a two year US traveling museum exhibition.
Tuan has shown extensively in solo and group shows; Ngoc has exhibited twice in London.
A London exhibition including all four artists – Of This and Other Worlds – was listed by The Guardian as one of the five best exhibitions in London (alongside the Tate and Tate Modern shows – quite a compliment!) and reviewed in Artnews, the leading US art publication.
All four artists starred in a 2007 exhibition in the National Fine Arts Museum of Vietnam – Women Painters, Painted Women – featured in the International Herald Tribune.

Works on view span three centuries and include religious paintings by Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640), Gerard Seghers (1591-1651) and Cornelis Cornelisz van Haarlem (1562-1638). Also see the museum’s 16th century tapestry masterpiece The Salute before the Tournament, a prime example of King Henry’s favorite artistic medium that was purchased by J. Pierpont Morgan in the early twentieth- century before it came into John Bass’s collection.
The South Gallery is the newest addition to the Bass galleries. Overlooking Collins park, this intimate space showcases Reflections of the Renaissance and Antiquity, that includes works such as Benjamin West’s Anne, Countess of Northampton, and Her Daughter and Eduard Veith’s The Holy Family (Rest on the Flight into Egypt) which are direct references to Italian Renaissance compositions. Also on view are works by artists such as John Hoppner, Thomas Barker and Paul Manship that celebrate the lasting influence of the Italian Renaissance.
Both installations are curated by Ruth Grim, Curator of Collections

Spinello Gallery (2294 NW 2nd Avenue, Miami Florida – 33127) is pleased to present the highly anticipated solo exhibition, “Primeval State of Perfection,” by Miami’s very own breakout artist, Santiago Rubino. This will be Rubino’s second solo show with the gallery.
Santiago Rubino is a 29 year-old self-taught artist from Argentina. While previous bodies of work in which slick draftsman ship and the incorporation of antique frames and clocks have prompted eclectic comparisons with Victorian England and Tim Burton, Rubino’s latest series evokes Ancient Egypt.
Simultaneously remaining faithful to his street art background, these latest works make a departure from miniature elaborate bic renderings to large works that encompass sensitive treatments of formal elements, mathematic precision and scholarly symbolism. Executed with Rubino’s signature stylistic elegance, the works describe a world where myth and symmetry exist on the same plane. By entwining the past with future worlds that glean inspiration from the artist’s affinity with ancient ideologies; Rubino conveys a vision that endures the strain of an ever changing humanity.
Combining a masterful hand with narrative themes, pokerfaced Godesses and Dungeness touting anything from ball gowns to bondage gear Rubino gives his works an ageless value. Committed to sepia toned paper in black graphite, his subjects are often dramatically situated, yet they themselves convey an impassive, fatalistic calm. Seemingly absorbed by notions of status, conscience and circumstance, they pose, recalling man’s decadent malevolence, as if in a dream.
Scented with diverse aspects of modern culture, these pensive and melancholy creatures preside over barren environments; the juxtaposition of their stoicism and the delicate nature of their execution afford an almost maudlin air, which draws the viewer in.

What: The Rising Tide, a documentary film about China’s exploding contemporary art scene
1st Screening: Friday, December 5, 2008, 8:30 pm at Miami Beach Cinematheque, 512 Espanola Way, Miami Beach
2nd Screening: Sunday, December 7, 2008 at 6:00 PM at the Colony Theatre, 1040 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach
Miami, FL November, 18 2008 — Robert Adanto’s The Rising Tide, screening this weekend at Art Basel, captures the complex cultural implications of the global art market’s insatiable taste for Chinese Contemporary Art.
Garden by Chen Qiulin
Adanto’s documentary, recently screened at the UK’s China Now, as part of Constant Stream China08 at the Royal College of Art, addresses China’s economic and cultural metamorphosis through the work of the Middle Kingdom’s most talented video artists and photographers. China’s place as an emerging global superpower directly relates to the “rising tide” of Chinese Contemporary Art. The film will screen twice this weekend; on December 5th at 8:30pm at the Miami Beach Cinematheque, and on December 7th at 6:00pm at the Colony Theater.
The Rising Tide integrates the work of internationally recognized artists such as Cao Fei, Xu Zhen, Wang Qingsong, Chen Qiulin and Zhang O. It is narrated by Rosalind Chao and Gordon Chang.
Born in an era of rapid societal change, the Chinese avant-garde sees the new China as a place where materialism and consumer culture are all pervasive. New explorations in art have accompanied the post-Mao reforms and economic growth. The balance of Western influence and traditional Chinese aesthetic remains conflicted. Add the complex cultural implications of the current market mania for Chinese Contemporary Art, and you have a truly compelling story which exposes the confusion and ambiguity that characterize the new China.
By allowing the artists and curators working in China to talk about the movement themselves, Adanto is able to convey the curious nature of this cultural phenomenon.
“Adanto’s surprisingly grim film highlights both the vitality and urgency of China’s burgeoning new culture while allowing its subjects to speak of the darker and more painful aspects of change,” says Gerry Mak in the on-line publication Flavorpill.
untitled by Yang Yong
The film seamlessly blends the artwork and the voices of the key-players in the Chinese Contemporary art scene without much intrusion from the filmmaker. “I wanted artists whose work contained powerful messages with the ring of truth. I was looking for art that communicated the confusion of a society in rapid transition or work which commented on the materialism pervading Chinese society. I still wanted beauty and originality, but not at the price of content. The art was going to be used in the film to advance my arguments, so I needed pictures and images that matter,” Adanto stated.
The Rising Tide is an incredibly timely examination of China’s growing prominence in international culture. In a climate of industrialization, urbanization, and increased freedom of expression, Chinese Contemporary Art has emerged as arguably the most vital and imaginative cultural force in the world today. “The rest of us better make an effort to grasp what their work is about, or get out of the way,” says Mark Lynch, host of WICN’s inquiry, “[The Rising Tide is] an ‘eye-opener’ in every sense of the word, if you are an artist, curator or art teacher be sure to catch this film.”
An open discussion and contextualization of this significant movement, The Rising Tide is certainly a must-see. For more information about the film, visit www.therisingtidefilm.com.

César Paternosto
Born in Argentina in 1931, César Paternosto has exhibited widely in Latin America and abroad. Since he began working as an artist in the early 1960s, Paternosto has been in the vanguard of abstraction in Latin America. An expert on the symbolic systems of Pre-Columbian civilizations, Paternosto has used his own photography and drawings to document and analyze the ancient remains of the region. Paternosto’s exploration of Amerindian abstraction has fueled his artistic work of the last twenty years.
“[…] Ever since the early 1930s, when Alexander Calder visited Piet Mondrian’s studio and had that marvelous vision of imagining his neat rectangles as if they were flying through space, nobody had achieved a similar effect to the one conceived and executed by Paternosto with his pictures painted on the sides of the canvas, with the resulting effect described earlier, of glowing weightlessness.”(Francisco Calvo Serraller, The Edge of Light, in César Paternosto, exhibition catalogue; Segovia: Museo de Arte Contemporáneo Esteban Vicente, 2004.)

In anticipation of this season’s first Sounds of the Times concert, we would like to thank you, our Previews reader, by combining two things we know you will love: great music and discounted tickets!
Two dynamic composers from “across the pond,” Thomas Adès and Gerald Barry, join the Fellows this week to bring their creations to life — including two U.S. premieres by Barry, one of which features seamless soprano Barbara Hannigan.
We are so excited about this collaboration that we would like to offer you a 20% discount on your tickets! Take advantage of this offer by mentioning “Previews” when calling our box office at 305-673-3331. This offer is good through Friday, November 21, at 5 PM.*

Only 37 years young, Thomas Adès is a vibrant and influential figure in contemporary music. As a talented composer, conductor and pianist, Adès has been called “the next Benjamin Britten” and “the great new voice of British music.” He joins NWS to present two of his own large-scale works, These Premises Are Alarmed — dubbed a “firecracker of intensity” — and Tevot — a large-scale symphonic journey based on the title’s Hebrew translation of “arks” or “place of refuge.”
Canadian soprano, Barbara Hannigan joins NWS to reprise her role of Madame X in Barry’s The Stronger, a part the requires passionate dexterity in portraying frantic vocal explosions, as well as lullaby-like cadences. Ms. Hannigan received rave reviews for her portrayal of the unstable Madame X at The Stronger’s world premiere in Paris in 2007. We are thrilled to have her with us this week in this chaotic, yet widely-entertaining character.
The music of Gerald Barry, a well-kept secret in the U.S., is full of musical and theatrical imagination. As the leading Irish composer of his generation, Barry’s musical genius has been described as “part mad Stravinsky, part mad Handel.” With Thomas Adès at the podium, Barry’s two U.S. premieres, The Stronger and Diner, are sure to be an experience you won’t want to miss.
Special Offer for Previews Readers! Mention “Previews” and receive 20% off your tickets for this Saturday’s concert, November 22. With this discount your tickets will only be $12!! Call the box office today at 305-673-3331.

Through personal, established relationships, casual encounters, forced institutional interactions, or contact from a safe distance, we often overstep our boundaries. Whether we are conscious or not of our boundary breaking, we are all guilty at one time or another of intruding into other people’s lives and space. What may pass as uneventful for one individual may be the cause of great anxiety and fear for another. I’m Keeping an Eye on You explores the broad and lasting effects of our curiosity and intrusions upon others.
Artists featured in I’m Keeping an Eye on You include: Mounira Al Solh (Amsterdam/Beirut), Rachel Garfield (London), Charlotte Ginsborg (London), Pia Greschner (Berlin), Myung-Soo Kim (Tempe), Yaron Lapid (London), Jeff Luckey (New York/Berlin), Johnna MacArthur (Los Angeles), Michael Mohan (Los Angeles), Corinna Schnitt (Hamburg).

Electro Strings event will feature the Miami-based viola virtuoso Laura Wilcox and the up and coming banjo/electronics master James Moore from New York.
Canadian-American violist, LAURA WILCOX has performed throughout Canada, the United States and in Europe and South America as a recitalist, soloist with orchestras, and in numerous chamber ensembles. A passion and commitment for unveiling the obscure, reviving the “living” classics, and in premiering new musical works, Laura has collaborated in many crossover musical and artistic ventures with international performers and composers from North America, Asia, Europe, Central and South America. The Toronto Star wrote about her recent Aeternalis Voyage CD: “an eloquent premiere…by the brilliant Laura Wilcox as soloist.”
Tonight, Laura will present three pieces for viola and electronics by Orlando Garcia, Juraj Kojs, and Judith Shatin.
JAMES MOORE is a versatile guitarist with many musical personalities. Performing on a wide variety of acoustic and electric guitars, banjos, and home-made instruments, James combines the sensitivity and lyricism from his classical training with a healthy dose of improvisation, theatrics, and experimentation. Whether as a soloist, in a rock band, or in a classical ensemble, he aims for all of his music to be unique and personal.
James’s performances have brought him to concert halls and experimental music venues across the country, including shows with Bang on a Can, Other Minds, Princeton University, The Electronic Music Foundation, Anti-Social Music, the Merkin Hall Ear Department Series, and The Kitchen. In addition to collaborating with gifted musicians and composers from his own generation, James has worked with many of today’s leading artists, including David Lang, Steve Reich, Ingram Marshall, and Meredith Monk.
Tonight, James will perform works for banjo and electronics composed by himself, Lainie Fefferman, Matthew Marks, Paula Matthusen, and Matthew Welch.
We will also remember JUAN PEDRO BLANCO RODRIGUEZ, a pioneer of electroacoustic music in America, as well as founder and director of the Cuban National Electroaocustic Music Laboratory, who passed away at the age of 92 on November 5 in Havana. We will play his piece 5 Epitafios.

Good afternoon! My name is Stephanie Williams. I, along with my cousin Sonja Smith and our uncle Lee Williams, hope to get to know all of you in the upcoming months. However, who we are is far less important than why I am writing you today. I wanted to let you know that we have partnered with Care Resource and Food for Life Network to organize and coordinate the first Food for Life Network (“FFLN”) AIDS Marathon/Half-Marathon, which will take place on January 25, 2009, in Miami, Florida. We are reaching out to you because we need your participation and support to make this event a success. Before I tell you how you can help, I would like to take a moment to explain why my family has decided to coordinate the run and why we chose Food for Life Network.
Our uncle was diagnosed HIV+ more than 20 years ago. His life, like many long-time survivors, chronicles not only the emergence of one of the deadliest diseases of modern history but also the world’s response to meet the challenges posed by the disease. His life chronicles treatments, drugs, social and political policies as well as medical breakthroughs that have, in one way or other, impacted the lives of millions of people. His life chronicles a time when many, including some in the medical profession, believed that no cure was possible to now when we know that a cure is within our reach. His life chronicles the laughter as well as the loss of most of his best friends. We have watched our uncle closely during the years, and there were times when, honestly, we expected him to just give up. He didn’t. Instead, he managed to do what seemed impossible: get up the next day and help others less fortunate than him. Therefore, it came as no surprise when he announced earlier this year that he wanted to run not only for those that have passed but also for those who are still with us.
Our uncle was originally registered to train with the National AIDS Marathon Training Program to raise money for a national AIDS organization, but the South Florida arm of the program was cancelled. Two hundred registered participants were left without a trainer or organization. Instead of giving up on the idea altogether, my uncle expressed a desire to finish what he started. Our family decided that the cause was more important than the trainer and that we would do whatever it took to support him. We subsequently learned that had he raised money for the original organization, only fifty percent (50%) of the proceeds would have gone towards the cause. We found that percentage unacceptable. We believe that 100% of the money raised for an organization should go to that organization. Our uncle previously volunteered at FFLN, and he is still impressed by and amazed at how much they do for the South Florida community. For these reasons, we selected FFLN as our fundraising benefactor.
As you probably already know, Food for Life Network is a non-profit organization that provides groceries, meals and nutritional education to eliminate malnutrition and starvation in men, women and children living with HIV/AIDS in Miami-Dade County. They are committed to delivering services with compassion and confidentiality, to fostering client dignity and independence, and to enhancing clients’ quality of life. Since 1987, Food for Life Network volunteers and staff have provided millions of meals and groceries to people living with HIV/AIDS at no cost to their clients but through the generous support of donors. FFLN is a part of Community AIDS Resource, Inc. (aka “Care Resource”).
Care Resource has been providing excellent services to the South Florida community for twenty five (25) years! It is a 501[c](3) non-profit, multi-cultural, community based AIDS service organization, which through education, prevention, research, care & treatment, and support services, Care Resource improves upon the health and overall quality of life of our diverse South Florida communities in need. Rooted in the 1998 merger of Health Crisis Network (1983) and Community Research Initiative (1989), Care Resource is now South Florida’s oldest and largest HIV/AIDS service organization and a true leader in the community.
After meeting with the wonderful and compassionate staff at Care Resource and FFLN, our family is more convinced than ever that we chose the right organization and that our help, along with your help, will make a difference right here in our own community. YOU can help in a number of ways.
FIRST, we need participants who will run (or walk) on January 25, 2009. Each participant will be responsible for raising a minimum of $500.00. We feel this minimal contribution goal is more than reasonable. Our research revealed that many similar fundraisers require participants to raise as much as four times the amount we are requiring.
To get started, go to the Food for Life Network AIDS Marathon webpage and register. Retrieve the FFLN discount code. Next go to ING Miami Marathon website and register for the marathon or half-marathon. Please note that while the ING Miami Marathon registration deadline is January 17, 2009, the FFLN AIDS Marathon REGISTRATION DEADLINE is DECEMBER 23, 2008. Our deadline is set to comply with ING Miami Marathon’s procedures, which require all charities to give them the total number of participants 30 days prior to the event.
Understand that while all participants must register with ING Miami Marathon to participate in the run/walk on January 25, 2009, you are free to train on your own so long as you register with FFLN AIDS Marathon and raise the minimal required amount by January 25, 2009. We have started accepting contributions/donations.
Don’t forget to get your FFLN AIDS Marathon discount code before registering with ING Miami Marathon. Don’t forget the DEADLINE to register is December 23, 2008.
SECOND, you can help by making a personal contribution or raising money on behalf of a participant. We know that our economy is facing huge challenges, and that you may not have as much to spare as you normally would. That’s ok. We are simply asking that you give what you can. Just think about it: If 1,000 people donated as little as $25.00, we could raise $25,000 just from INDIVIDUAL contributions! That’s half of our goal!
Check with your employer to see if they provide incentives for your fundraising efforts (e.g., matching donations). Check with local businesses to see if they would be interested in supporting this cause. You may be a member of a church or other organization that wants to contribute. Also, you can use your social and professional networking forums to raise money. Please tap into all of your networks.
THIRD, you can help by spreading the word. Forward this e-mail or the web link to all of your friends and family. Tell everyone you know about the organization, its work, AIDS awareness, and the marathon! We will periodically update the webpage and send out newsletters. Don’t ignore these crucial bits of information, because we are constantly working on new ways to make this a fun and successful event! Read them. Pass them on!
With your support, we know that we can raise money to help FFLN get through these tough times ahead. With your support, we know that we can give a voice to all those who are no longer with us and be a voice for all those who still are!
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us via email fflnam@foodforlifenetwork.org or directly at 305-576-1234 Ext 257. We look forward to hearing from all of you!
The Holidays are just around the corner. Help us get ready. We are accepting donations now. Register today to participate in the marathon or
MAKE A DONATION TODAY!
Thank you for your time and contributions to this important cause.

Vanguard New Contemporary Art Fair FAGE Total Greek Yogurt Exhibit 12/4-7/08
Presented by FAGE Total Greek Yogurt
We have seen art take many different turns recently with the sudden popularity of decorative cakes and food decorating competitions which have grown a mass following. FAGE is stepping into the act this year with their involvement with the “GenArt Vanguard New Contemporary Art Fair” in Miami, December 4-7, 2008. At the fair three one-of-a-kind FAGE-inspired contemporary art works will be unveiled. The artworks, inspired by the brand’s unique production, creamy taste and ridiculously thick texture, will be created by contemporary artists who are also participants at the Vanguard Art Fair: James Marshall (Dalek), Gary Baseman, and AJ Fosik. These artists will channel their inspiration from FAGE Total Greek yogurt to create master pieces good enough to eat.
As part of this collaboration, the artists will also take part in “Fage Studio — Discover. Taste. Create.” a series of art sessions with children from a local non-profit organization, Arts For Learning. In support of the organization, Dalek and Baseman’s art work will be auctioned off online, where all proceeds will be donated to enrich lives and further education of the arts.

SOUTH FLORIDA CHEF NAMED A “TURKEY TRENDSETTERâ€
BY THE NATIONAL TURKEY FEDERATION
Lola’s on Harrison Gives Comfort this Holiday Season with A Turkey Recipe and Festive Side Dishes to “Gobble Gobbleâ€
The National Turkey Federation (NTF) has named South Florida’s Michael Wagner, chef and owner of Lola’s on Harrison, as one of three “Turkey Trendsetters” for 2008. Chef Wagner’s Pan Roasted Turkey Tenderloins recipe garnished with festive side dishes is available on the popular “Turkey Trendsetter” feature at EatTurkey.com.
“An innovator in the kitchen, Chef Wagner was chosen as one of this year’s culinary leaders for his use of turkey and how it is seasoned and paired with local ingredients, ” said Sherrie Rosenblatt, NTF’s vice president of marketing and communications. “Wagner’s interpretation of turkey — simple with robust flavors, traditional side dishes with a modern-day spin, and his commitment to supporting regional produce makes him a stand out to his patrons and the culinary community.â€
The “Turkey Trendsetter†feature showcases how chefs across the country are incorporating turkey on their menus in creative and unique ways. At his elegant and contemporary American restaurant, Chef Wagner serves turkey with elements of the holidays, which is extremely popular among guests year-round even in the warm South Florida climate. His Pan Roasted Turkey Tenderloins with Caramelized Brussels Sprouts, Creamy Polenta, and Pomegranate-Cherry Gravy has been the most popular menu item since the restaurant opened in July 2007.
“The dish is a play on the flavor profiles you would expect at the holiday table, which is very comforting for our guests. The tenderloin product is underused in South Florida so when our guests see it on the menu served with cherry gravy, it peaks their interest,” said Chef Wagner.
Aimed at being value-oriented, Chef Wagner strives to provide his guests with the freshest and finest ingredients available. All of the indigenous fruits and vegetables at his disposal from local farms in South Florida enable him to be extremely inventive, and turkey’s versatility lends itself well to the dishes he puts on the menu.
“Turkey is a blank canvas for mouth-watering combinations of flavors,” explained Chef Wagner. “Pairing it with tropical fruits and vegetables like mango, papaya, star fruit, and yucca makes great dishes.”
Chef Wagner’s background is in fine dining and traditional steak house restaurants. At Lola’s on Harrison, his philosophy and approach to cooking is very simple – start out with great ingredients, support local farms, and use as many resources as possible. For Chef Wagner this has translated into an extremely successful restaurant that has received accolades from the New York Times, Miami Herald, and in 2008 he was named a “Noteworthy Newcomer” by Zagat.

In this guide, I am going to list everything that I know of that is going on during the Art Basel week. On some of them, I will give my recommendations. Please note, these are wholly mine, formed out of my experience from having attended nearly every art show and festival during Art Basel Miami week since it started. I make no guarantees that my comments have any bearing on the upcoming events, they may be better than in past years, they may be worse. I also make no guarantees that I have the same taste in art or events as anyone else. I did not consult with any experts. I do not have any degree in the arts. I just love the arts and I love festivals. So here we go.}

Art Positions
{Okay, we have been going to Art Positions since it first started. It started as an independent show, and an extremely cool one. A bunch of big shipping containers tossed out on the beach with really cutting-edge work in them. Now, Art Basel has taken over the operation of this show and it has gotten extremely popular. It has also lost some of its edge. I recommend going the first night for a short time just to see the crowd and enjoy the concert. Then go back at a later time when there are not as many people so that you can actually see the art.}

More Design Miami Info
{Now, a few years ago, SCOPE started this really cool trend, take over a hotel and turn all the rooms into mini-galleries. They did it at the Townhouse. This gives the show a very intimate and unusual feel. Then they moved across the bridge and opened in a big, bland white tent. Others quickly copied their cool idea, opening up hotel fairs. Some of them have also gone the way of the tent.
This year, it has gotten even worse. This huge, bland, mall-complex has opened in the middle of the Miami art zone called Mid-Town Miami. It is lame and generified beyond all belief. For some reason, the art dealers have decided that being near a bunch of corporate band-name stores would be a good idea and a number of them are setting up next to the complex. Well, it might make it convenient, but in my opinion it takes away from the real essence of the art, creativity and self-expression.}
Red Dot Miami
{Last year, Red Dot was this very funky and cool new little fair in one of the less swanky but soulful hotels on Miami Beach, the South Seas. You can still see their old webpage here – http://www.reddotfair.com/reddotfair-miami.htm – This year, they are moving to the zomplex (zombie complex) over in Midtown. However, hopefully, they will still have fun art.}

SCOPE Art Fair Miami 08
{SCOPE was one of the first of the ancilliary fairs. We went that first year when it was small and energetic. It was the first to host a hotel fair, which at the time seemed very creative and original. It has since gotten incredibly popular and moved to the big, bland tents, like everyone else, and in doing so, lost some of its originality and individual character. In any case, they have always had some great works, so I recommend fitting it into your schedule.}

{Okay, that looks like all I have for now. Please bookmark this page. I will update it as I have more information. If you want to send me information about your fair or a show that you know about, please send it to examiner-AT-uncommontimes.com (replace the -AT- with @, it kills spambots) and I will add it to the list. Again, I encourage everyone to get out there and find the hidden gems. One last suggestion, make a spreadsheet. List out all the fairs and parties you want to go to. Sort them by location or art style, or whatever is most important to you. It will really help.}

Join Miami Design Preservation League, the City of Miami Beach Mayor Matti Bower and Commissioners, Miami Beach Chamber of Commerce, the Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce, and the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau for a block party celebrating the Art Deco Gift Shop on 12th Street and Ocean Drive.

From 9:00 – 11:00 am, we’re closing the eastern portion of 12th Street at Ocean Drive for the event. In addition to the formal ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Gift Shop, we’ll also be unveiling the 2009 Art Deco Weekend® poster, specially created by Miami-based artists Roberto Behar and Rosario Marquardt, on the theme of Down Argentine Way: Deco • Vino • Tango.
You can also be among the first to purchase the new Monopoly Miami and the Beaches game, featuring prominent Miami Beach locations and benefitting MDPL. You can enter a drawing for great prizes, and enjoy light refreshments. Free admission.

His Excellency Jorge Dezcallar de Mazarredo, Ambassador of Spain to the United States of America, and Rafael Nadal, the number one-ranked tennis player in the world, will serve as Honorary Chairs for the Gala, which features a formal dinner, live and silent auctions, and a concert by Earth, Wind and Fire.
“We are extremely proud of our annual Miami Gala, which has become a tradition that brings together the most generous, enthusiastic, and energetic people in Miami to support social integration for people with intellectual disabilities,†says Anthony K. Shriver, founder and chairman of Best Buddies International. “Best Buddies is fortunate to have a thriving country program in Spain, and we are excited that this event gives us the opportunity to showcase the support of our European friends, including an extraordinary Buddy Pair from Best Buddies Spain, who will take the stage to describe what their friendship means to them.â€
The Gala never fails to bring together Miami’s most notable residents and celebrities from around the globe for a night of entertainment and fundraising. Celebrity guests expected to attend this year include: actors Matt Damon and Verne Troyer; actresses Linda Gray, Kelly Hu, and Vanessa Hudgens; Miss USA Crystle Stewart; Miss Universe Dayana Mendoza; Olympic gold medalist Carl Lewis; and singer Macy Gray.
As always, there will be a number of spectacular items up for auction, including a “Brothers and Sisters†script autographed by Rob Lowe, a Cartier watch, an Audi Sportscar Experience in Sonoma, California, and luxurious getaways to Spain and Tahiti.
And, in anticipation of Art Basel, select works from the Best Buddies Artist Collection, including pieces by Roy Lichtenstein, Jim Dine, Robert Rauschenberg, William Wegman, and Hunt Slonem, will be on display at the Gala. Guests will be able to purchase these magnificent works of art, with proceeds to benefit Best Buddies.

Its main focus will be to the introduction of the participants as well as the selection of the items specifically selected from Habitat for Humanity ReStore that will be incorporated into each participating gallery. The second part will be an unveiling ceremony held on December 7th from 10:00 am 1:00 pm titled the Art Bagel Brunch and will take place at participating galleries with all completed exhibits on display available for sale.
Proceeds from the event will benefit the Habitat for Humanity ReStore. A completed list of each gallery and their celebrity counterparts will be announced on November 17.

And…the November MBC photographic exhibition:
“The Frida Files†by LEO MATIZ
Leo Matiz (1917-1998) was born in Aracateca, Colombia, but was known internationally as a “citizen of the worldâ€. The intense and stark compositional beauty of his photographs are world famous, particularly in some of the iconic portraits of our time, and especially in his immortal legendary portraits of Frida Kahlo. Matiz was a master at depicting the internal passions of his subjects, with graphic grace and sharp contrasting
elements defining their features. Like Sergei Eisenstein’s gorgeously photographed film Que Viva Mexico! (which screens November 30th as a companion piece and closing night event to this MBC exhibition, and is accompanied by the modernist electronic music of DJ Maximus 3000), the images of Leo Matiz capture history told through faces. These images are on display courtesy of Alejandra Matiz, the artist’s daughter, who will be a special guest on closing night. The photographs are also for sale.

Lexus of Kendall is having an Art Reception this Friday, Nov. 14 at 7 p.m.
NOTA DE PRENSA
El artista dominicano Félix Suriel inaugurará el próximo 14 de noviembre la exposición “Caribbean Rhythm Merengue”, que combina rasgos de la música tÃpica con la lucha por mejorar el medio ambiente.
En la exhibición, que se extenderá hasta el primero de enero del próximo año, los asistentes disfrutaran de la gama cromática de los instrumentos tambora, güira y acordeón. Un minuto frente a una obra de Suriel es como entrar a la fiesta y no sustraerse de mover los pies y el alma entera, es más que música, es una sinfonÃa de colores.
El escenario de la exposición será el Centro Lexus West Kendall, situado en el 13750 SW 136 Street, en esta ciudad, un centro que en los últimos años se ha convertido en un soporte de los pintores latinoamericanos.
Al informar sobre el elemento medioambiente en sus obras, Félix Suriel manifiesta que es una tarea de todos contribuir a la concientización sobre lo que significa la lucha ambientalista.”Es un armónico grito que nos invita a cerrar filas en una lucha sin cuartel para salvar el espacio que habitamos. Salvar lo verde nos salva a todos”, puntualizó.
Se mostró confiado del éxito de la exposición “Caribbean Rhythm, Merengue” debido a los temas tratado en cada cuadro y sus colores. El acto inaugural está programado para las 7 de la noche del próximo 14 de noviembre. Pintores, crÃticos de arte, y personalidades ligadas al mundo del arte han confirmado su participación en el dÃa inaugural.
Por otra parte, Félix Suriel participará en un festival gastronómico y cultural, que organiza la Secretaria de Turismo de la República Dominicana en Miami, y que se celebrará el próximo 20 de noviembre.

Curator’s Voice Art Projects
Led by Milagros Bello
cordially invites you
To the Opening Reception of its new space
In Wynwood Art District
Saturday, November 8, 2008 at 7 pm
Rosario Bond, Bunny Girl, Oil over Canvas, 2008, 90 x 90 in
CURATOR’S VOICE ART PROJECTS, led by curator Milagros Bello, has selected the works of Rosario Bond based on their quality and visual strength. CURATOR’S VOICE ART PROJECTS has organized the show LIPSTICK to be presented as part of the main venues within the Miami art scene. LIPSTICK will open on November 8, 2008, and will run during Art Basel week, closing on February 14, 2009.
Rosario Bond proposes neo-expressionistic paintings made out of thick layers of impasto, where figures, objects, and nature intertwine in voracious and parodic relationships. Her most recent series depicts parodies of icons, such as rock stars, models, and other portraits represented through gestural brushstrokes and a bright and intense palette. Her figurative approach is done through a humoristic stanza. Her paintings are collections of personal mythologies combined with critical imagery, posed over disrupted settings and dislocated compositions inhabited by unusual and eerie objects. Her works are a monumental palimpsest of delirious and contrasting shapes that establish a radical dialogue with the Contemporary German neo-expressionists.
About Curator’s Voice Art Projects
CURATOR’S VOICE ART PROJECTS is led by curator Milagros Bello, and its mission is to foster the contemporary arts and the new, emergent voices in the international and national art scenes. CURATOR’S VOICE ART PROJECTS works in conjunction with art institutions, museums, and galleries in the United States and abroad. CURATOR’S VOICE ART PROJECTSinvites guest curators to participate in its art venues.
CURATOR MILAGROS BELLO, PH.D., was the former curator of Hardcore Art Contemporary Space (HACS) in Miami since its inception, until December 2007. At HACS she curated important shows such as OBJECTHOOD (Dec. 2007), HAPPILY EVER AFTER (Dec. 2006), and HARDCORE MENU SAMPLES AND DISHES (Dec. 2005). She was also in charge of the New Media Festival in its First and Second Editions. Dr. Bello holds a Ph.D. from Sorbonne University in Paris, France. She is a professor of art at Florida Atlantic University, and a member of the International Art Critics Association.
The opening reception is free and open to the public

Galerie Helene Lamarque Cordially invites you to the Pre-Opening Reception of its new Gallery In Wynwood Art District
Saturday, November 8, 2008 at 7 pm
Thierry Farcy, The United States of France, 2008 Photograph
Beyond the Body: An Inaugural Exhibition
Hélène Lamarque is pleased to announce Beyond the Body, the inaugural exhibition of her new space in Miami’s Wynwood Art District. The group show, marking the opening of the gallery’s first location outside of France, will introduce some of the artists from the gallery’s program to its new neighborhood.
In their own, very distinct ways, the works of 12 artists speak to the representation of the human body and its connection to that which exists beyond the physical realm of passive flesh and its aesthetic appearance. The soma-body is the source of our capacity to feel and to think: It is the nature of our bodily perceptions that fashion our knowledge and construction of the world. The body is the basic medium of experience and existence. It is both the object and the subject of works that question the role it plays in realm of ethics, cognition, politics and aesthetics. The works question the conception of corporeality itself.
Conceived specifically for the new Miami gallery by French artist Thierry Farcy (b.1965), a series of photographs, The United States of France, explores the idea of the United States as a now necessary melting-pot of ideology. A video by the artist in the gallery’s adjacent sculpture garden will accompany the series.
The paintings of Indian artist Bose Krishnamachari’s (b.1963) Stretched Bodies series, which embody the frenetic energy and life of Indian megacities, will be presented in Miami for the first time since the gallery’s participation in last year’s Art Miami fair, also in Wynwood. Krishnamachari is considered the rising star of India. The photographs of Akbar Padamsee (b.1928), recognized as one of the most important Indian artists, reveal the body as a construction, forming compositions of contours, light and shadow. Also representing the gallery’s contemporary Indian program will be works by Manish Pushkale (b.1973), Anish Kapoor (b.1954) and Paris-based artists Anju Chaudhuri (b.1944) and Debesh Goswami (b.1965).
A Body Container, fashioned from the knitting of old magazine pages, by Chinese artist Movana Chen (b.1975) “examines the relationship between clothing and the news/media industry and our consumption of disposable commodities,†while the torn-paper works of Afghani artist Barmak Akram (b.1966), also made of magazine pages, treat the revelation of the female form in natural images. Portuguese artist José de Guimarães (b.1940) defines the contours of the human form in his neon works. And French artist Francois-Xavier Fagniez (b.1936) will present his nature-inspired abstract pictures. The painter, acting almost as a shaman, explores the earth’s fundamental elements through his body’s perception. Also on the border of the ritualistic, one of Damien Hirst’s (b.1965) spin paintings completes the show.
Hélène Lamarque opened her first gallery, in 1994, at the age of 24. She also directs a gallery in Paris’s 7th arrondissement, on the Left Bank. Presenting modern and contemporary art, the gallery has been specializing in Indian contemporary art for the past four years.
The opening reception is free and open to the public

Monopoly Miami and the Beaches Exclusive Launch Event
Bike Miami CiclovÃa!
Downtown Miami closes streets to cars, opens city to Bicyclists and Pedestrians.
This will be Miami’s first Cyclovia. Miami will be closing several downtown streets and part of Brickell and will only allow for cyclists to use them. We’ll be meeting for this at the Government Center. This is an extra-curricular ride, and since roads are closed to cars, you can ride at your own speed and it’s encouraged to meet people. This may take place more in the future, we’re definitely looking forward to this.
Bring as many people as you want, this event will be great.
So the tentative ride is from Flagler St W & 1st Ave by the courthouse to Bayfront, and looping back down Miami Ave to Mary Brickell Village.
CiclovÃa (also Ciclovia or Cyclovia) is a Spanish term, meaning “bike path,” used in Latin America to mean either a permanent designated bicycle route or a temporary event closing of the street to automobiles to allow dominance by other users. Permanent designated bicycle lanes are also known as ciclo-rutas, while streets temporarily closed for that purpose are always called ciclovÃas.
Time and PlaceDate: Sunday, November 9, 2008
Time:10:00am – 3:00pm
Location: Downtown Miami
Street: Flagler (from Courthouse to Bayfront) & SE 2nd Ave from Flager to 10th St
City/Town: Miami, FL

Spinello Gallery is pleased to announce a new addition to the family, Miami’s most infamous street artist: TYPOE. Keep posted for his debut solo exhibition coming this February.
MIAMI NEW TIMES
CITY OF MIAMI BULLIES MARTIN MARGULIES
WILL THE ART COLLECTOR BE FORCED TO PAINT OVER A MURAL ON HIS OWN WAREHOUSE IN WYNWOOD
The City of Miami hopes the Wynwood Art District might finally bring some hip to the downtown area. One of the scene’s anchors is the massive Margulies Collection at The Warehouse on NW 27th Street. Martin Margulies has taken to granting permission to handpicked graffiti artists to spray-paint elaborate murals on the building’s sides.
But a Miami code enforcer recently delivered a citation to the gallery. The infraction: a giant apocalyptic mural spray-painted by artist TYPOE and six others. The piece has at its center the image of an emaciated human figure violently squeezing an alien-like creature. Across the top of the mural are the letters TCP, for The Cat’s Pajamas, the name of TYPOE’S graffiti crew. The artist estimates he spent 200 hours on his part of the mural.
But the code enforcer declared the mural graffiti. The collector was ordered to paint over the mural or face fines.
Margulies was indignant. “We said to them: ‘This is not graffiti. Graffiti is lines and scribbles against the property owner’s will…. This is urban art, and this is an art district.'”
TYPOE, who declines to give his real name, says gallery managers throughout Wynwood have been pressured to paint over murals by him and other graffiti artists. “They’ve handed down fines of $200 a day,” he says. “Basically, if it looks urban, they don’t want it. If there’s any hint of hip-hop – which isn’t even what my work’s about, but they don’t know what they’re talking about – they don’t want it. If there are any hints of letters that aren’t advertising a store, they don’t want it.”
Code enforcement referred New Times to inspector Jackie Gil, who did not respond to our e-mails.
On November 12, Margulies will fight for the mural at a code enforcement hearing. “Who is the city to say what is art and what isn’t?” asks TYPOE.

THE COSMIC GLOB SHOW
The spectacular work of KRK RYDEN
November 8th – December 6th
Opening reception: Saturday, November8th, 2008 7pm- 11pm
Harold Golen Gallery, 314 North West 24th St. (off of NW 2nd Ave.) Wynwood Art District, Miami, Florida 33127.
305.989.3359 www.haroldgolengallery.com
Admission is free!
KRK Ryden’s art is a record of mongrel pop culture. His aesthetic is informed by comic books, punk rock, and cartoons, while his world view is strictly DEVO. KRK’s work embraces everyday absurdity and a cartoony view of reality. His paintings are colorful and visually appealing reflections on discarded icons, and his graphics are well-realized snapshots of cartoon life. For over thirty years, KRK has been creating illustrations and paintings for underground bands, publishers, and institutions.
KRK was born in Seattle, Washington but didn’t stay there long.
His early years were spent growing up in Southern California, in cities like Anaheim, the home of Disneyland. KRK’s uncle Al was employed by Disney in the late 50’s and early 60’s as a manager of the ‘Main Street’ area of Disneyland. Because of this, “Keithie” got a lot of free E tickets. When he was four, he was introduced to old man Walt himself. Later that day, due to all the excitement, little Keithie hurled at the entrance of Disneyland, right on the cobblestone street.
Leap forward to Canyon High School, Castro Valley, 1968. In his sophomore year, an art class assignment would define his painting and drawing style, and consequently influence the artistic style of his brother, Mark Ryden. An art teacher had each student reach in a hat and pick a slip of paper with the name of a particular art movement scrawled on it. The student was to write a paper on the movement of art randomly chosen. When KRK (then Keith) picked “Surrealism,” he was peeved because he wanted to write about the Italian Renaissance. Another reason for the upset was because he had no clue what Surrealism meant. The word had looked utterly foreign. But after checking out a few school library books and seeing for the first time the art of Dali, the artist’s art and life was changed permanently. This art triggered a sort of rebellion; it created a disdain for the norm. There was no turning back to the imagery of landscapes, still-life, and puppies.
Gables Gallery Night

FULL HOUSE | POOL ART FAIR | MIAMI BEACH 2008
Frere Independent is proud to present its annual independent art fair, PooL. This is the fourth edition of the PooL Art Fair in Miami, and it is slated for December 5, 6 & 7 2008 at the Cavalier Hotel, during the art week in Miami. Of the many fairs that are happening at this time, PooL is the only one that is presenting the work of independent artists.
The simple, modest approach of the PooL Art Fair offers an exciting alternative to the “art fair” experience for dealers and collectors as well as the general public. PooL’s purpose is to create a meeting ground for outstanding artists, primarily those who do not yet have gallery representation. The show will be comprised of young contemporary art dealers, artist agents, emerging galleries, artists’ collectives, and non-profit organizations. Hence, the fair will serve as an invaluable resource for the artistic community and the general public. Exhibitors will be given rooms in which to display their work, creating a unique and intimate setting. They will share with the public their most recent works: unique, original, and challenging art.
PooL is produced by Frere Independent, a not-for-profit art organization, that provides new avenues of dissemination and widespread visibility to emerging and independent artists who do not currently have gallery representation.
Originally envisioned as an event that would promote camaraderie in the arts by providing a meeting ground and market place for artists, art dealers, curators, and the public, the goal of the PooL Art Fair is to engage the public by making art accessible, and to encourage them to support artists. It’s imperative that artists be able to eat, read, and pay their rent just like anyone else.
PooL Miami 08 | Hours
Thursday December 4 Check-in time 3pm
Friday December 5 4pm- 10pm
Saturday December 6 4pm- 10pm

Participation in PooL Art Fair
The deadline for sending in the application has been extended. However, space is limited and rooms will be assigned as we receive and accept applicants. The show could fill up before the deadline arrives, so please do not wait for the last minute to apply!
To Apply:
Please submit an initial application to receive further information for submitting samples of your artwork. You can access the application at: http://www.divafair.com/divastore/home.php?cat=48 Under Pool Art Fair click on applications and follow the necessary instructions.
All applicants will be reviewed by the PooL Video Miami Beach 2008 Selection Committee, a peer group of international curators. Only the exhibitors who are accepted by the Selection Committee may exhibit at the fair.
Important notification from the fair management
Although art fairs opened to non-represented artists were a tradition in France at the time of Courbet’s famous Salon des Independents, they were non-existent in the U.S. until the creation of the PooL art fair. It is important that all artists understand that PooL is an exchange platform created for the artist. It is with the communication effort of each artist that the fair will be successful. In other words, each artist is responsible for his or her own success. Please invite every one you know, every one you meet and most importantly, every one you want to know. Space is limited, rooms will be assigned as we receive and accept applicants. The show could fill up before the deadline arrives, so please do not wait for the last minute to apply!

PETER MACKIE, Recent Photography
Nov 8th to Nov 22, 2008
Reception: November 8, 7 to 10 pm
Abba Fine Art is pleased to present curator, Milagros Bello, Ph.D of Curators Voice’s selection of PETER MACKIE’S recent photographic images.
Peter Mackie’s photographic images present scolding references to urban elements and recreate a constructivist world of tools and industrial materials in a rough and textured environment. Compiled in chaotic arrangement of a Baroque ‘horror vacui’, Mackie overload his photographic scenes with multileveled meanings from social allusions to personal memories. Surprises and discoveries unexpectedly appear in the diverse and delirious combination of incongruous and disparate elements, either relating to domestic life or to urban detritus. There is an excess of the visuality in his works, an exaggerated overpopulating of objects that reminds us the excess and accumulation of things in our consumer oriented society. Mackie is an obsessive collector of items that mostly they relate to its surrounding in the busy and overpopulated New York City. We can call Mackie’s photographs ‘natura morta’, urban still life, or in the most extreme case, dead collectible. But in whatever sense we approach to these works, we know we are dealing with a contemporary ‘vanitas’ that alludes to the futility of life and its ultimate mortal essence. The ephemeral effects of these used and discarded articles link to death and disappearance.
For further information about this exhibition or for a private viewing, please contact the gallery at (305) 576-4278 or via email at art@abbafineart.com. For press inquiries and image requests, please contact ABBA FINE ART.
About Abba Fine Art:

The gallery stable includes works from artists that deal with different aesthetics as well as ideological dynamics. The subjects represent different aspects of life, ranging from the organic and natural to the psychological, figurative and pop culture references.

Aligned with the Festival is a Student Artist Showcase which allows talented middle and high school student artists the opportunity to compete for top recognition. Because the Festival is run entirely by dedicated volunteers, the money raised is used to provide museum field trips to underprivileged elementary school students as well as to enhance and maintain the collections of, and to assist with expansion of, the Lowe Art Museum.

David Castillo Gallery opens Glexis Novoa Old / New, Saturday November 8, 7-10 pm
David Castillo Gallery is proud to present Old / New, a solo exhibition by Glexis Novoa. Novoa renders cityscapes like peering into a curio cabinet and coming face-to-horizon with societal apocalypse in miniature. In Harold and the Purple Crayon, a children’s book by Crockett Johnson, Harold draws his own picaresque narrative into being. With similar intuition, autonomy, and deceiving innocence, Novoa’s sculptural approach to drawing conjures urban environs as products of and covert oppositions to totalitarianism. The exhibition includes work the artist has been developing over the past several years: his graphite on marble and graphite on dry wall drawings. The exhibition includes new bodies of work as well, such as an installation and color prints.
Novoa constructs a language of symbols based upon icons of political, ideological, religious, and Art Historical significance in the trench between what one sees and expects to see. In this no-man’s land, Novoa re-codifies the past, critiques the present, and projects a future either destined for disrepair or ripe for collaboration and creative reconstruction. Novoa’s architectural surfaces of marble and drywall evoke the construction of history. Similarly, his use of graphite evokes the written word, further aligning the viewer with the authorship of history, and history with interpretation.
Unlike Harold’s innocuous wandering, Novoa’s work brews an urgency implicit in the satellites, monuments, microchips, and parachutes almost voyeuristic in their revelation of the past and manifestation of the future- two unknowns responsible for the despair and hope entwined in Novoa’s work. Post-Guerrilla / Post- Terrorism, for example, suggests both static complacency in the wake of guerrilla attack and the naming (in the fashion of Art History) of a successive militant movement.
Confronting Novoa enables one to realize the weightlessness of pedigree in the face of universal concerns such as alternation of landscape, destruction of life, and perpetuation of culture. Novoa causes the viewer to isolate and associate objects, endowing them with potential energy. The symbolic nature of his drawings warns that if not given a collaborative, pensive, and immediate push in the righteous direction, a force beyond human power and Newtonian physics will seize the opportunity, perhaps to disastrous results.
Glexis Novoa was born in Holguin, Cuba and lives and works in Miami. He studied at the National School of Art, Havana and the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, Skowhegan, ME. His work has appeared in Artnews, New York Times, Miami Herald, Artpapers, and Art in America among many other publications. He is also included in the Phaidon book Vitamin D: New Perspectives in Drawing. The artist has exhibited at prestigious venues throughout the US, Latin America, and Europe.
In the project room, the gallery is pleased to present Jay Ore. Ore’s work investigates the intersection of comic and vulnerable elements through observations of the UFO phenomenon. His paintings and Polaroid collages blend fantasy and reality, pop culture and myth in Miami and society at large. Ore lives and works in Miami and has exhibited widely at venues such as Miami Dade College and Old Capitol Gallery in Tallahassee, FL.

Miami Beach Welcomes Ambassadors from Italy’s Federation of
Damanhur
The World’s Largest Intentional Eco-Community
Miami Beach, FL – On November 13, 2008 from 7pm to 10pm, Miami’s top
artists, educators, environmentalists, community leaders and media will gather to
welcome special representatives of The Federation of Damanhur. The world’s
largest intentional eco-community, Damanhur featured in February 2008
on ABC’s Good Morning America has chosen Miami Beach as the community’s main North American hub for their
educational programs and events.
The first event, Damanhur Reception and Music of the Plants, will be held at
the Miami Beach Botanical Garden on the full moon of Thursday, November
13th. The program will include a magical concert of the plants utilizing one of
Damanhur’s revolutionary technologies that converts the energy of the plants and
translates it into music, a short video of Damanhur and open conversation with
the Damanhurian Ambassadors, Crotalo Sesamo and Shama Viola.
“We are thrilled to be opening up a center in Miami,†said Crotalo Sesamo. “As
part of our first program we’ll be creating a spiral stone labyrinth which will
become a permanent interactive art installation at the Miami Beach Botanical
Garden, our gift to the community.â€
Damanhur has city centers all over the world in countries
such as Italy, France, Austria, Japan, Germany and Croatia.
Founded in 1975 and located in northwestern Italy, the federation of Damanhur
(“the city of lightâ€) has been described as one of the largest and most successful
advanced technological intentional eco-villages in the world. Damanhur is a
Federation of Communities with a continuously evolving social and political
structure. They are also renowned for building the largest underground temple in
the world. The Temples of Humankind at Damanhur are an extraordinary work of
art that has been described as an “Eight Wonder of the Worldâ€. A United Nations
award- winning sustainable community, Damanhur is an eco-society based upon
ethical and spiritual values, esoteric traditions and modern research.
The world which they speak about is surrounded and motivated by the beauty of
art, guided daily by spiritual purpose, and a commitment to manifesting the
Damanhur dream; the successes of their ideals manifested as a living reality
ignite hope for the future of humanity and for the realization of a diverse and
unified peaceable planet.
