With Art Basel just around the corner, FU Gallery’s Grand opening will take place on Wednesday, December 2nd as of 7 pm. Valeria Fiñana and Miguel Ullivarri, the owners of FU Gallery, placed their bets on Little Haiti in order to bring to the community a gallery that’s inclusive, focused on the rich local culture and are proud to feature homegrown and Latin-American artists.

Artist information:
The opening exhibit will highlight the works of Mexican fine and graffiti artist Ciler. This solo show, called “PONZOÑA,” is the second one he’s had in the U.S and prior to that his work has appeared in various galleries around the world including Barcelona, Italy, Mexico, London and New York City. Ciler’s unapologetic work is best known for the defacement and manipulation of existing images with an often-dark archaeological intent to unearth today’s dysfunctional society. His unique use of collages, paintings, drawings and installation work are filled with death, drama and violence.

Sixty-six million years ago, an object the size of New York City descended from space to crash into Earth, creating a devastating cataclysm that killed off the dinosaurs, along with two-thirds of the species on the planet. What triggered this impact? On Thursday, December 17, Patricia and Phillip Frost Museum of Science invites science enthusiasts and curiosity seekers to find out at Science Up Close: Dark Matter and the Dinosaurs, featuring leading expert physicist Professor Lisa Randall, PhD of Harvard University. Taking place at Books & Books Coral Gables, Randall will give a brief presentation followed by a Q&A and casual discussions with fellow scientists, researchers and professional in particle physics and cosmology.

A member of the National Academy of Sciences, the American Philosophical Society, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Randall studies theoretical particle physics and cosmology at Harvard University. Her research connects theoretical insights to puzzles in our current understanding of the properties and interactions of matter. In her newest book, Dark Matter and the Dinosaurs: The Astounding Interconnectedness of the Universe, Randall tells the story of the history of our Earth, from the history of the cosmos to that of the galaxy, the Solar System, and even of life – and, of course, the story of the dinosaur extinction. Lisa Randall’s studies have made her among the most cited and influential theoretical physicists and she has received numerous awards and honors for her scientific endeavors. Randall was included in Time magazine’s “100 Most Influential People” of 2007 and was among Esquire magazine’s “75 Most Influential People of the 21st Century.”

Kreemart presents Alexandre Arrechea at CIFO Miami Art Basel 2015. In collaboration, Kreemart and Arrechea are exploring a series of written word sentences translating into sounds that one might encounter in daily life provoking a sense of nostalgia.

Sounds that one may or may have not actually experienced are being brought as a challenge and in order to encounter this experience, we invite our audience to break free from contained boxes. This may be seen as a liberation of contained memories or dream like states that reside in the psyche. Once unleashed, can written word provoke the imagination enough for someone to actually experience sound through silence?

These sentences are phrases that are meant to arouse or keep our curiosity. The act of hitting with a hammer reveals another blow, another friction and echoing each sentence that runs in our memory as a sound.

The boxes containing each sound are made of sugar. Our audience may taste the fondant or just let it go it go on the floor. The exploration is abstraction of taste through sound. The taste here is not be the central experience but the abstraction of it.

de la Cruz Collection: You’ve Got to Know the Rules to Break Them – Art Basel Miami Beach 2015 12/1/15 – 12/5/15

de la Cruz Collection: “You’ve Got to Know the Rules.. to Break Them” – Art Basel Miami Beach 2015
December 1st – December 5th, 9:00AM to 3:00PM
rulesde la Cruz Collection
23 N.E. 41st Street
Miami, FL 33137

The de la Cruz Collection presents their 2016 exhibition “You’ve Got to Know the Rules…to Break Them.” Rosa and Carlos de la Cruz have selected a group of artists from their personal collection who have been associated with defining 21st century practice. Self-aware of the influence that technology and the rise of consumerism has had on their work, artists exhibited follow the cool forms of Minimalism, Conceptualism and Abstract Expressionism, while injecting their works with subtle negations of their own process. Looking at traditional techniques behind painting and sculpture, these works co-exist timelessly as strategies of stylistic appropriation raise questions of subjectivity and originality.

“You’ve Got to Know the Rules…to Break Them” contextualizes New American Abstraction with German Neo-Expressionism, revealing earnest explorations of the artists technical acumen. Through experimentation, they antagonize accepted practices by drawing upon a variety of themes including cultural, historical and sociopolitical modes.

Per contra, the third floor contains a study in portraiture and memory with the works of Félix González-Torres, Ana Mendieta and Rob Pruitt. By transforming everyday objects and using energetic gestures and repetition, González-Torres, Mendieta and Pruitt accept diverse ideologies and reject the notion that art has a single vantage point.

By merging a variety of styles and mediums, the works selected for this year’s exhibition mirror contemporary culture while allowing an open-ended conversation of various interpretations and possibilities. Artist in the exhibition: Allora & Calzadilla, Tauba Auerbach, Walead Beshty, Mark Bradford, Joe Bradley, Dan Colen, Matt Connors, Martin Creed, Aaron Curry, Peter Doig, Jim Drain, Isa Genzken, Félix González-Torres, Mark Grotjahn, Wade Guyton, Rachel Harrison, Arturo Herrera, Evan Holloway, Thomas Houseago, Alex Israel, JPW3, Jacob Kassay, Alex Katz, Martin Kippenberger, Glenn Ligon, Michael Linares, Nate Lowman, Adam McEwen, Ana Mendieta, Albert Oehlen, Gabriel Orozco, Jorge Pardo, Manfred Pernice, Sigmar Polke, Seth Price, Rob Pruitt, Sterling Ruby, Analia Saban, Josh Smith, Reena Spaulings, Rudolf Stingel, Cosima von Bonin, Guyton/Walker, Kelley Walker, Christopher Wool.

Miami, Fl. The Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida, one of the most applauded ballet companies in South Florida, continues their successful 2015-2016 season with the presentation of the classic Christmas Ballet most anticipated by the whole family, “The Nutcracker”, performing in Miami and Ft. Lauderdale under the direction of the Master Vladimir Issaev.

“The Nutcracker” ballet, the most popular holiday treat of all, tells the story of Clara, who on Christmas Eve decides to make a journey at the hand of her beloved Nutcracker, who comes to life and battles with the evil Mouse King, and helps Clara reach the land of the Sweets.

WHERE ALL BEGINS

Originally, it all started in Russia when Ivan Vsevolozhky, who was director of the Imperial Theatres, commissioned “The Nutcracker” to Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composer of successful ballets like Sleeping Beauty and the Queen of Spades (Píkovaya dama). Marius Petipa, responsible for the original choreography and then Director of Ballet of St. Petersburg, made the stage dramatization of the original story of Ernest Hoffman.

However, it wasn’t until a year later that this piece came to be released, and the Petipa choreography could not be finished because she fell ill. The Nutcracker world premiere was on December 18, 1892, at the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg, and it wasn’t until 1934 that it was given performances outside of Russia.

The reboot on stage of ABT of Fl

This staging features original choreography by Master Issaev, while maintaining the traditional lines of the Russian ballet. Through the years Issaev also managed a ballet group that is headed today by Miami’s prima ballerina, Venezuelan Mary Carmen Catoya who, this year, will dance the role of the Sugar Plum Fairy for Issaev!

Ms. Catoya, who joined the company in August 2015, has brought the best experience of her dancing to the Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida which, this December, celebrates 18 years of forming new generations of ballet lovers in South Florida.

Mary Carmen Catoya will alternate the role of the Sugarplum Fairy with the leading players Lillian Hill, Hinano Eto and Aya Baba and their princes, Hernan Montenegro and Ramil Bagmanov, who will perform at both the Aventura Arts and Cultural Center and the Parker Playhouse in Ft. Lauderdale.

On December 18th, the traditional Nutcracker Gala will be held at the Parker Playhouse in Ft. Lauderdale to benefit the non-profit company, where VIP guests that attend can enjoy a Pre Show reception where wines from the Alanis and Joaquin Rebolledo cellars will be offered, accompanied by sparkling of Fragamoura. Guests will also be meeting the dancers, and will have the opportunity to participate in a Silent Auction, with prizes that range from a trip to the Bahamas, to fine jewelry, sports memorabilia and holiday baskets.

Keenen, Riley, Pissarro launch Parallel with Light + Space exhibition at The Surf Club during Miami Art Week 12/1/15 – 12/12/15

Parallel LLC, a newly launched consultancy that marries architecture and curatorial practices for its clients, founded by John Keenen, Terence Riley, and Joachim Pissarro, announces its inaugural project to debut during Art Basel in Miami Beach at the new Surf Club, designed by Richard Meier. Curated by Joachim Pissarro in consultation with Riley and Keenen, LAX – MIA: Light + Space will focus on fifteen works by seven Los Angeles Light and Space artists being shown together for the first time in Miami at the Surfside, Florida location of Meier’s architecturally iconic The Surf Club pavilion, north of Miami Beach.

LAX – MIA: Light + Space is commissioned by The Surf Club in conjunction with Fort Partners. It includes works by artists Peter Alexander, Larry Bell, Mary Corse, Laddie John Dill, John McCracken, Helen Pashgian, and De Wain Valentine*. It will be on view from Tuesday, December 1 through Saturday, December 12, beginning with a Wednesday, December 2, 9:30–11 AM Daylight Viewing reception. Larry Bell and Laddie John Dill, eminent LAX – MIA: Light + Space exhibiting artists, will be in attendance for the opening. The exhibition will subsequently be open to the public from 11 AM–5 PM daily. All artworks within the exhibition will be available for acquisition.

Light + Space
Largely gathered around the fledgling, yet intense, art scene located in and around Venice, California, during the 1970s, artists of the Light and Space movement were influenced by the distinctive atmospheric qualities of the landscape of Southern California’s Westside beachfront communities. LAX – MIA: Light + Space reimagines and re-contextualizes notions that fostered the artistic practices of these artists, giving their works a parallel and fresh life on Florida’s eastern coastal edge.

In a group statement, Parallel’s principal partners relate: “To see this unlikely alliance on the dunes of Collins Avenue in the Richard Meier pavilion which is surrounded by the ocean and the sky, is an occasion to enjoy one of the highest moments of radically new creativity in America in the past half-century, architecturally and artistically.”

Parallel co-principal and LAX – MIA: Light + Space exhibition curator Joachim Pissarro adds that the group’s interest in launching the partnership through this endeavor has a great significance to each member of their team, stating: “We could scarcely have imagined a better more evocative, richer and more lyrical dialogue between art and architecture than that between the group of artists in Los Angeles known as Light and Space and the supremely light and luminous architectural shell produced here by Richard Meier. Indeed the qualities of luminosity offer here a remarkable common denominator that articulates the poetical qualities between the architect in charge of this project and the artists, who seem to be serendipitously responding to the call for light articulated by Richard Meier so powerfully.”

This exclusive group of influential women have had a profound impact on the art world and are currently shaping its future. The discussion will explore the qualities that define a new generation of female artists and leaders in art, as well as the many different ways in which they have achieved success, despite obstacles and prevailing inequalities.

“Pratt Presents” is a curated series of free public programs developed by Pratt Institute that features big ideas, bold thinkers, and brilliant dialogue. These curated series of high-profile public programs and events showcase the Institute’s expertise and reputation as a distinguished academic institution as well as a cultural hub.

Sponsorship for this free and public event is provided by: Simon Property Group (presenting sponsor), Perrier-Jouët (champagne sponsor), and W magazine (media sponsor).

Shirin Neshat is an Iranian-born artist and filmmaker living in New York. Neshat’s early photographic works include the Women of Allah series (1993–1997), which explored the question of gender in relation to Islamic fundamentalism and militancy. Her subsequent video works departed from overtly political content or critique in favor of more poetic imagery and narratives. In 2009, Neshat directed her first feature-length film, Women Without Men, which received the Silver Lion Award for Best Director in the 66th Venice International Film Festival. Neshat’s recent photographic series include The Book of Kings (2012) and Our House Is on Fire (2013). Neshat has been the subject of numerous solo exhibitions at galleries and museums internationally. A major exhibition of her work recently opened at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, DC. Shirin was included in the 48th Venice Biennale of Art (1999), Whitney Biennial (2000), Documenta XI (2002) and Prospect.1 New Orleans (2009). She was awarded the Grand Prix of the Gwangju Biennial (2000), the Golden Lion Award, the First International Prize at the 48th Venice Biennial (1999), the Hiroshima Freedom Prize (2005), and the Dorothy and Lillian Gish Prize (2006). Neshat is currently working on her second feature-length film, based on the life and art of the legendary Egyptian singer Oum Kolthum.

Mickalene Thomas is a distinguished visual artist and filmmaker who has exhibited extensively both nationally and internationally since 2003. She is best known for combining art-historical, political, and pop-cultural references to create striking figurative and nonfigurative paintings. Her work stems from a long study of art history and classical genres of portraiture, introducing complex notions of femininity and challenging common definitions of beauty and aesthetic representation. Thomas’s first solo museum exhibition was in 2012 at the Brooklyn Museum and Santa Monica Museum of Art. Thomas’s work is in the permanent collections of New York’s Museum of Modern Art, Brooklyn Museum, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, and Whitney Museum of American Art, as well as the Detroit Institute of Arts; Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, Kansas; Seattle Art Museum; and Smithsonian American Art Museum, among many others. She was born in 1971 in New Jersey and lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.

Heidi Zuckerman is the Aspen Art Museum’s CEO and Director, overseeing all aspects of the AAM’s guiding vision and mission, administrative policies, curatorial and educational practices, strategic planning, and fundraising efforts. During her ten-year tenure with the AAM, she has secured a budget surplus every year—reinvesting instead of drawing from the endowment; fostered a 270+% increase in operational budget ($1.9M to $7M); and overseen the successful strategic planning and capital and endowment fundraising of $75M for the construction of the AAM’s Shigeru Ban–designed facility, which opened to the public in 2014. From 2004 to 2005, Zuckerman served as the Chair of the Art Curatorial Department at the University of California, Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, and from 1999 to 2005, as the institution’s Phyllis Wattis MATRIX Curator. Prior to this, Zuckerman served as the Assistant Curator of 20th-Century Art at the Jewish Museum in New York. She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in European History from the University of Pennsylvania; a Diploma from the Royal Society of Art, Christie’s, London; as well as a Master of Arts degree in Art History from CUNY Hunter College. She also serves as the Art Network Chair for the Young Presidents’ Organization globally.

Stefano Tonchi has been Editor-in-Chief of W since March 2010. Under Mr. Tonchi’s direction, W has been a finalist 10 times for the prestigious ASME National Magazine Awards, with three nods in the General Excellence category, and has won 12 medals from the Society of Publication designers, as well as a Webby Award for its video series, “Screen Tests.” Mr. Tonchi oversaw the publication of W’s special-edition books, W: Stories and W: The First 40 Years.

Canada’s Corno Presents Her Debut South Florida Gallery Exhibition During Art Basel Miami 12/4/15

Canada’s Corno Presents Her Debut South Florida Gallery Exhibition During Art Basel Miami
CORNO with ArtworkFriday, December 4th, 7:30pm
Markowicz Fine Art Gallery
110 NE 40th Street
Miami, FL 33137

The highly acclaimed queen of Canada’s art world and one of North America’s female royalty in artistic expression, Corno, will be presenting her first exhibition in Miami as one of the city’s headlining female artists during this year’s Art Basel. Joanne will make her very first career appearance during the international art world’s most prestigious week, celebrated throughout the City of Miami and Miami Beach, December 3—6.

The opening preview night of the Corno Exhibition, presented by Corno Studio and hosted by Miami’s preeminent fund manager, Simon Librati of 212 Investment Fund LP, will take place on Friday, December 4th, starting at 7:30pm, at the renowned Markowicz Fine Art Gallery in Miami’s Design District, with an illustrious VIP attendance anticipated in honor of the Quebec-born artist who currently resides in New York. The self-titled gallery exhibit will feature a broad selection of Corno’s work that exemplifies her neo-expressionist approach – harmonizing abstract with figurative, using bold textures, movement and colors that encompasses her signature style. Corno’s inaugural Miami exhibition will be at the Markowicz Gallery for the entire month of December.

“I am delighted to be presenting my very first exhibition in Miami during this year’s Art Basel,” says Corno. “I’m aware that some of the world’s greatest talent from all four corners of the globe converge in South Florida during this time of the year, and I am excited to be part of such a prestigious week. I have dedicated the summer to creating some of my most interesting work that I am bringing down to Miami for the exhibit, and I look forward to sharing my latest collections with everyone. I am privileged to be presenting my work at the Markowicz Gallery – which is such an esteemed name to be associated with.”

A diverse selection from Corno’s own hand-picked compilation will be on display at the Markowicz Gallery, ranging from acrylic on canvas pieces in her recent collection of Faces to mixed media on canvas artwork for her extensive collection of popular Portraits depicting Marilyn Monroe and Andy Warhol. Her alternative anthology of Nudes and Drawings, developed with acrylic on paper, demonstrates the long history of talent and diversity that Corno has sustained throughout her career as a leading pop artist over the last thirty years.

Corno has successfully mastered her technique to the point where her style is immediately recognizable. Getting to the essence of Corno`s artistic inquiry are her acrylics on paper. These drawings clearly demonstrate the artist`s abstract and figurative strengths while exuding a raw pure energy that perpetually moves throughout each work. Every line, shape and color can be perceived in all its precision and spontaneity, leaving little room for error. These drawings reflect a refined talent, blending Corno`s creative flow and technical strengths. With each confident brushstroke, she leaves a permanent imprint on the paper.

Corno paints faces to catch the emotions they hide. Playing on bold facial expressions, dramatic colors choices and highly gestural abstract elements, she infuses her work with dynamic energy. A painting by Corno is like a zoom in on powerful feelings. With trademark large formats, she paints huge artworks that can be both overpowering and utterly seductive: faces larger than life. From her smallest details to her large sweeping brush strokes, her art works catch viewers off guard and invite them on a breathtaking inner journey.

Made in New York, Corno’s giclées are printed in limited number on 100% cotton, museum-quality paper. The velvet-like characteristics of this surface ensures the highest quality rendering and lifelong duration of each print. They are individually examined, numbered and signed by Corno. She is very selective in choosing the paintings to be reproduced into giclées as only a small handful are selected. She also chooses the formats and edition sizes. Certificates of Authenticity are included with each Corno giclée.

EMORY Vodka Launches Subliminal Guerilla Marketing Campaign during Art Basel 12/1/15 – 12/6/15

PRESS RELEASE

EMORY Vodka Launches Subliminal Guerilla Marketing Campaign during Art Basel

Artist Blake Emory_Zebra LoveFollowing the memorable debut of Zebra Love by Blake Emory at Spectrum Miami during last year’s Art Basel, Blue Vase Marketing, a full service agency specializing in direct response, talent acquisition and strategic brand development, will be capitalizing on the unique brand marketing platform that Art Basel and Miami Art Week provides, as part of the company’s latest product launch aimed at drawing the attention of this highly sought after and captive audience.

EMORY Vodka – a new ultra-premium line of 100% corn-based, Naturally Gluten Free vodka with a unique design concept inspired by the artist in “Optic Modernism” Blake Emory from New York – will mount an aggressive guerilla marketing campaign during the art world’s most prestigious week. Following a highly successful summer-long trade and industry launch, resulting in the product’s off-premise growth in retail outlets across select markets, EMORY Vodka is targeting the week of Art Basel in South Florida as a platform to initiate awareness on-premise – within select hotels, bars and restaurants hosting an international fanfare of art enthusiasts from across the globe.

“Zebra Love by Blake Emory received tremendous brand recognition during last year’s Art Basel,” says Michael Alden, CEO and President of Blue Vase Marketing. “Miami was the first market to catch a glimpse of EMORY Vodka in December and over the last twelve months the brand has grown to become an industry pioneer in product design among a colossal premium beverage market,” Alden adds. “Our limited edition line of naturally Gluten Free vodka is now rapidly expanding across major states throughout the southern and eastern seaboard. Miami is an ideal launch market now on our radar and we aim to capitalize on the popularity of Art Basel with a subtle yet precision-based product placement tactic. The Zebra Love oil on canvas brand extension transformed for the EMORY Vodka product line will resonate extremely well with the pop art enthusiast and among industry tastemakers and social influencers whom regularly attend this coveted week of events.”

Commencing for the week of Art Basel and throughout the high season in Miami, EMORY Vodka will be strategically poured at the most buzzworthy locations and venues, starting at the heart of this year’s mountain of Art Week events. Among them will be a presence at Metropolitan by COMO, Miami Beach – the city’s number hotel on Trip Advisor – at which EMORY Vodka will be served behind the hotel’s popular Traymore Restaurant and Bar. International press is buzzing about the newest Barcelona-inspired Mediterranean hotspot, KLIMA Restaurant and Bar, that will also include EMORY Vodka on its cocktail menu each night and for the grand opening of its second floor club and lounge “K Club” that will be unveiled on December 4th. A number of local media partners will also be collaborating with the vodka line for a series of private and exclusive VIP events during Art Basel, sponsored by EMORY Vodka.

EMORY Vodka is one of the few to enter the ultra-premium beverage market as a one hundred percent corn based product that is naturally gluten free while being six times distilled during the fermentation process. EMORY Vodka has been positioned as one of the first artist-inspired premium vodka lines introduced to the beverage industry during this year’s Wine and Spirits Wholesalers of America Annual Convention in Orlando in April.

New York based artist Blake Emory, one of today’s most innovative pioneers in the Optic Modernism movement, has developed a unique extension of his existing Zebra Love oil on canvas signature collection for the brand design of EMORY Vodka. Michael Alden, CEO and President of Blue Vase Marketing, in partnership with Emory, has translated the Zebra Love concept on to frosted glass and will be releasing the limited edition premium vodka supported by one of the country’s leading strategic marketing firms for the beverage industry, Pearson & Pearson. Imported and bottled by the newly formed Zebra Love, LLC parent company, Emory’s Zebra Love design is embossed on to a signature artisan bottle, complete with Emory’s trademark red stiletto. Emory Vodka marks the first brand extension in the Zebra Love series and features Emory’s “Shauna1” design for the inaugural product adaptation. A portion of proceeds from the sales of Emory Vodka is donated to the ASPCA to help prevent cruelty to animals.

Zebra Love is the latest anthology by the New York artist Blake Emory, whose collective series of theoretical works is capturing the attention of not only the fine art world, but also the country’s leading brand visionaries within the marketing community.

Emory’s Zebra Love series represents the artist’s inspired discovery of what he refers to as “nature’s grand design” that encapsulates an artistic expression of retro fashion with love, passion and “divine geometry” from the animal kingdom. Zebra Love portrays an underlying theme based on a fluid visual depiction of Zebra stripes that are carved to form the foundation of a multi-dimensional approach to acrylic on canvas. Using an individual female model and form as the muse for every piece of work, the curvaceous and nude silhouette of each chosen woman is juxtaposed against the Zebra design and blended within the center of the frame to convey a layered optical illusion at first glance. Emory describes his final touch as a “passionate step in to the world of love needed to liberate us from the human construct,” illustrated by a retro-style red stiletto worn on one foot – giving the black and white design its signature dash of vibrant color, fashionable overture and overtly sexual connotation.

Priced at $29.99 for 750ml, EMORY Vodka is targeting high volume cities around the country known for a trendsetting consumer audience, including Atlanta, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles and Miami.

Myths, Words and Fire Laura Kimpton Art Installation at SLS South Beach Hotel 12/1/15 – 12/31/15

Myths, Words and Fire Laura Kimpton Art Installation
vbtg_Picture2_31December 1-31, 2015
SLS South Beach Hotel
1701 Collins Avenue
Miami Beach, FL 33139

Myths, Words and Fire, an art installation by Laura Kimpton, will be on view at the SLS South Beach Hotel. The installation will transform the entire ground floor of the hotel from the street to the pool area with sculpture, video and paintings. Sponsored by art collectors Marc Bell and Marc Leder, Myths, Words and Fire is Kimpton’s first Miami Beach project. In addition to the installation, Kimpton will launch her “She’s Got Wings” apparel line at a pop-store in the hotel during art fair week. Bell and Leder will host a VIP party at the SLS on Saturday evening, December 5th in honor of Kimpton.

Myths, Words and Fire will offer viewers the opportunity to observe and interact with Kimpton’s world of playful irreverence. Her use of images, words, objects and junk is a way of expressing her conceptual viewpoint that “nothing is sacred.”

In the spirit of radical self-expression, Kimpton’s installation will feature several of her monumental, Burning Man word sculptures including LOVE, #, M, and OK. Other elements in the SLS installation include:
A three-story painted wrap on the front façade of the building;
A painted art truck filled with televisions displaying Kimpton’s Burning Man EGO Installation Burn and other videos;
An 18-foot flaming, propane, Celtic Forest tree by the hotel entrance;
An EGO burning video in the hotel lobby near the elevators;
In the pool area, 10-15 easels with 2-D mixed media pieces including Self Portrait, White Bird;
On the beach, a moat with flaming steel books and an 8-foot centaur and an 8-foot mermaid;
In the bar area by the pool, 200 small pillows made from Kimpton’s oil paintings and throw blankets for the couches.

About Laura Kimpton
Laura Kimpton is a California-based, American contemporary artist whose work consists of painting, mixed-media installations, and sculpture. Her creativity stems from a desire to question traditional views on social interaction, therefore invoking through her art a reaction from her viewers that ultimately completes her projects. She is continually exploring new mediums in her search for revelatory communication. Her raw and original work uses photography, found objects, televisions, paint, and resin – fusing objects of history to convey a very personal message.

Kimpton’s foundation for this approach is a Bachelor of Fine Arts from The San Francisco Art Institute and a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from the University of San Francisco. Her works have been exhibited throughout the United States, including solo exhibitions in New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Her accolades include that of being a six-time Honorarium Grant Recipient at Burning Man, as well as the creator of monumental works such as “Celtic Forest”. Laura Kimpton is best known for her Monumental Word Series. Her Monumental Word Sculptures have been purchased as permanent installations in Santa Rosa, CA, Arlington, TX, Reno, NV, Hong Kong, China, and soon in Miami, FL.

Laura Kimpton currently works and resides in Marin County, CA. www.laurakimpton.com

New, By-Appointment-Only Art Fair Showcases Historical Masterpieces Alongside Contemporary Art and Design in a Specially Curated “Collector’s Residence” on Hibiscus Island

For its inaugural exhibition and sale, Miami Art Masters will take place December 1st through December 6th, 2015 at an exclusive, private residence on Hibiscus Island, located between South Beach and Downtown Miami. Designed by award-winning architects, Touzet Studio, the residence provides a spectacular backdrop to a curated selection of Old Master paintings and drawings, along with contemporary art and design objects. Lyrically weaving museum quality Old Master artworks in conjunction with the presence of contemporary works, Miami Art Masters will offer a unique viewing opportunity, for both the seasoned and emerging collector.

Running concurrent with Art Basel Miami Beach, which attracts thousands of visitors to South Beach annually, Miami Art Masters promises an experience unlike any other, not only through the diverse presentation of historically important works of art but also by participating in an active contemporary dialogue merging elements of the past along with those representing our current time. This invitation-only exhibition and sale will be held in an expansive 12,000 square foot private home unlike many familiar art fair venues. With the goal of bridging the disconnect between artistic periods and art constituencies, Miami Art Masters will create an atmosphere where old meets new and where the dissimilar styles not only beautifully coexist but also engage in a compelling dialogue, adding richness to one’s surroundings.

Spanning 500 years, ranging from the 14th Century to the 19th Century, fifty works of art by prominent historic artists such as Jean-Honoré Fragonard, Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, Lo Scarsellino, Filippo Tarchiani, and Jean-Baptiste Oudry will be part of a highly anticipated showcase. Further complementing this selection of Old Master works, the team of specialists will integrate an assemblage of contemporary art and design, by internationally acclaimed galleries and designers such as Ralph Pucci, Herve Van der Straeten, and Paul Mathieu in conjunction with artists such as Tracey Emin, Cecily Brown, and Candida Höfer, among others. Set in a contemporary interpretation of a classic Parisian Hôtel Particulier, this art happening offers visitors and locals alike a taste of luxury.

Miami Art Masters, 2015 is delighted to create and present an exciting and wonderfully unique exhibition and sale, contributing to Miami’s vibrant artistic community. It will expand upon, rather than detract, from what is already being offered throughout the city. We look forward to sharing this experience with you.

Gallery Diet opening of Ann Craven’s I Like Blue 11/30/15

Gallery Diet opening of Ann Craven’s I Like Blue
Monday, November 30th from 5PM to 8PM.
ilikeblueGallery Diet
6315 NW 2nd Ave
Miami, FL 33150

Gallery Diet is pleased to present I Like Blue, an exhibition of new paintings by Ann Craven opening Monday, November 30th and remaining on view until January 9th, 2016. Through these paintings, Craven converses with the histories of landscape painting and conceptual art, and with the passage of time itself.

These paintings come from summers spent in Cushing, Maine, where Craven has kept a home and studio for years. At night, she paints the moon en plein air, often by candlelight. Slightly larger than a square foot, they are hasty compositions, with a pared down palette and an economy of gesture. Like consecutive views of the moon, they manage to be both the same and different. Painting outdoors, under a sky quite different than that above New York, Craven engages contemporary and historic painters such as Alex Katz (who she assisted for seven years) Georgia O’Keeffe and Claude Monet. Yet the landscape is just a starting place. Craven returns to her New York studio and remakes the paintings, scaling up the intimate size of the originals to five square feet. They are not exact remakes; neither the palette nor the brushstroke are the same, merely similar. She then uses the leftover paint to create her stripe paintings, which are also on display.

By repainting the original paintings, she does not delegate a hierarchy of preparatory version and final product. Rather, she loosely stacks three mo- ments of time: the time spent on the first painting, the time elapsed between the two paintings, and the time spent painting the second version. In this, she charges the landscape genre with the understanding of temporality similar to the conceptual practices of On Kawara or Agnes Martin. The system Craven uses to employ the leftover, unused paint into bands of color can be seen as the forth phase or a closure to the three moments mentioned above. It is an added pleasure to see these works in Miami, a place known for its charged relationship to nature and history.

I Like Blue continues Craven’s exploration of painting as an index of our lived experience. Though painted with immediacy, Craven understands that these works can never fully capture the moment they seek to address. Instead, there is a lag, an inescapable temporal parallax. It is in that space that she best operates. Her work is playful, yet, since inseparable from time’s flight, bittersweet. Also on view is a painting of a bird.

Ann Craven lives and works in New York City and Maine. She recently had her first retrospective, Time, curated by Yann Chevalier at Le Confort Moderne in Poitiers, France (2014). She has exhibited widely, including Southard Reid, London (2015); Hannah Hoffman Gallery, Los Angeles (2014); Maccarone, New York (2013); The Green Gallery, Milwaukee (2013); Galerie Perrotin, Paris (2013); White Columns, New York (2013); Eva Presenhu- ber, Zurich (2013); Gladstone, New York (2012); and Marianne Boesky, New York (2012). Craven’s work has been reviewed in publications including LA Times, Art in America, the New York Times, Artforum, Flash Art, The New Yorker, Frieze and Modern Painters. Her paintings are in the public collections of the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Whitney Museum, New York; the New Museum, New York; and the Museum of Contempo- rary Art in Chicago, among others. Gallery Diet owner Nina Johnson-Milewski assisted Craven in 2005.

Gallery Diet is a contemporary art space in Miami, Florida. Since 2007, the gallery has produced exhibitions by emerging and established artists from around the world. The gallery works alongside artists to produce ambitious projects both within the confines of the gallery space and beyond.

Kicking off the Miami Art Week, Ricieri Art Studio presents a red carpet night for a unique exhibition featuring the Italian-Brazilian Artist Roberto Ricieri on December 1. The Emotions of R. Ricieri will display over 100 works by the artist, including his highly regarded Infinity Series of paintings, as well as sculptures and drawings. Attendees will also enjoy a hardcover book with five of his collections, a documentary movie, his own testimony about his time in captivity and how it led to him becoming an artist.

Born in 1959 in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Ricieri has created more than 1,000 paintings, using acrylic on canvas, along drawing with pencil and carbon. He discovered his style and way of thinking about art in prison, which affected his work with real life inspiration and deep emotion. Admired by many, Ricieri never attended art school. As an entrepreneur, he often traveled to Europe and North America where he spent much of his time observing the masters of art in museums around the world.

The Infinity Collections by R. Ricieri are a collaboration between the Tara Art Collection Sylvia White Gallery of Los Angeles California and the Noel Santiesteban. This exhibition beautifully combines his innovative work with fascinating aspects of his life in captivity. The 130-page book titled “Ricieri: The Art Born from Captivity” will be released at the event for purchase. The publication includes 80 full-color paintings by the artist.

Website
Cost: $20.00

California based artist, Blair Martin Cahill exhibits sculptures and other works that present a completely unique art series, from December 2-6, 2015 at SPECTRUM Miami located in the Arts + Entertainment District. Cahill’s work explores the fragile and impermeable through the juxtaposition of dissimilar materials in her work, such as steel and silk, making it clear that strength should not be judged by perception alone. Her new work, which will be debuted at SPECTRUM Miami, is a concise collection of sculptural embroidery with a definite contemporary edge. With Sphere 30, Cahill employs embroidery with vivid sculptural effects — rich blue, greens and silvers permeate delicate silk suspended within a dissected sphere of stainless steel. Suspended over a highly polished base of metal, the sphere appears to glow from within. The center rings of Sphere 30 (48″ W X 80″ L X 45″ H) are some of the largest embroidered areas to ever have been produced. Being shown for the first time, See no Evil, highlights three Japanese ladies embroidered on almost translucent silk in a folding screen of maple and brushed aluminum. The ladies gaze from the screen intently, watching but not passing judgment as they speak, see and hear no evil. Cahill has exhibited extensively this year in the United States and abroad including Apricot Gallery London, UK; Amsterdam International Art Fair; and Governor’s Island Art Fair, New York City; Los Angeles Center for Digital Art, Los Angeles California; Art San Diego, San Diego California.

Opening Preview: Wednesday, Dec. 2 / 6-10pm

Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau Brings Back The Art of Black Miami African Diaspora Arts, Culture and Diversity Celebrated

PRESS RELEASE

Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau Brings Back The Art of Black Miami African Diaspora Arts, Culture and Diversity Celebrated

Following a successful launch last year, the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau (GMCVB) brings back Art of Black Miami, a platform that shines a spotlight on local, national and international art and artists representing the African diaspora. Art of Black Miami takes part during the destination’s premier art event, Art Basel Miami Beach. This signature initiative is a celebration of the abundant artistic diversity found within Miami’s mosaic and heritage-rich neighborhoods. Residents and visitors will experience new artwork and projects while attending special events, meeting artists, visiting pop-up art galleries and more. A dedicated website – www.ArtOfBlackMiami.com – provides real-time updates and more information on the African diaspora art representing African-American, Caribbean, Latin American and African cultures.

“The GMCVB’s newly formed Multicultural Tourism Department is proud to bring back Art of Black because it combines two leading pillars in our community: the diversity of our heritage-rich neighborhoods and our global position as a premier art and culture destination,” says GMCVB President & CEO, William D. Talbert, III, CDME. “Having just announced another record-breaking year in tourism welcoming 15.1 million overnight visitors to Greater Miami we know that visitors extend their vacation and stay longer to experience art and culture in our multicultural neighborhoods.”

The City of Miami will extend their iconic trolley routes in order to provide free transportation for Art of Black Miami participants around heritage neighborhoods. Community pockets within Miami and The Beaches are embracing the event with specially programmed exhibits such as “Soul Basel” in historic Overtown and TIZITA (Ti-zee-ta) a fine art group exhibition featuring Ethiopian and African Diaspora art on Miami Beach.

More than forty-seven (47) events in Miami’s heritage neighborhoods (including Little Haiti, Coconut Grove, Liberty City, Opa-Locka, Historic Overtown, Wynwood, MiMo District, Miami Gardens, Coral Gables and Downtown) and throughout the destination include: The Art of Black Miami Kick-off Soiree: A celebration and preview of what’s planned will take place on Wednesday, November 18, at the Historic Lyric Theatre Cultural Arts Complex, from 6:30pm-8:30pm.

At the Historic Lyric Theatre Cultural Arts Complex, present Soul Basel from December 2 – 6, Art Africa Miami Arts Fair will feature a multidisciplinary exhibition of fine contemporary art from the global African Diaspora. The central idea of Art Africa Miami is to present an array of visual works that pay homage to the centrality of Africa and its descendant’s contribution to the modern art world.

Miami’s Yeelen Gallery in Little Haiti feature “What’s Inside Her Never Dies… A Black Woman’s Legacy” – Being a black woman is a journey oftentimes taxed with a history of ruined and objectified bodies that recall and carry on complex legacies of suffering and struggle. Through painting, drawing, photography, and sculpture, “What’s Inside Her Never Dies… A Black Women’s Legacy” presents the dignity, distress, and character of these heroes who affect us generation after generation.

In celebration of Art Basel Miami Beach (December 3-6) at the Futurama Building, local artists will paint patio umbrellas which are displayed along historic Calle 8 in Little Havana.

“Through the Eyes of Others” presented by the Opa-Iocka Community Development Corporation aims to provide a critical platform for re-imaging the past, present and future possibilities of blackness as something more complex than race. What words, actions and images can interrogate the culture of violence, distrust and hatred applied to black people? While stereotype images of black people continue to reinforce negative attitudes, work in the exhibition resists and defies easy consumption of these subjects.

PEREZ ART MUSEUM MIAMI Presents “No Boundaries: Aboriginal Australian Contemporary Abstract Painting” brings together the work of nine Aboriginal Australian artists who are leader within their community and while they began painting late in life, their works explore complex and innovative modes of abstraction. Relating to cultural systems, religious beliefs, and social structures, these intricate works are at once distinctly grounded in the context of Aboriginal life and profoundly resonant with abstract painting of the 20th and 21st centuries.

The Little Haiti Cultural Center will feature The Borderless Caribbean exhibition which is part of the larger Global Caribbean art program started by the Haitian Cultural Arts Alliance in 2009. It has been designed to create an artistic dialogue, and to encourage exchange between Caribbean and Miami-based artists, which have emerged from the Caribbean Diaspora. (December 4 – January 17)

PRIZM is the producer of a cutting-edge art fair that is multidisciplinary in scope. Our goal is to expand the spectrum of international artists from the African Diaspora and emerging markets at one of the most prestigious art festivals in the world.

Our mission is to promote the work of artists of color, who reflect global trends in contemporary art, through a blockbuster exhibit held during Art Basel/Miami. Workshops and special events will be organized throughout the year to advance the careers of local and regional artists. We are committed to the Miami cultural community and will work to expand its visual arts landscape, nurture and educate its constituents and provide forums for cross cultural exchange.

In 2014, Prizm will exhibit a dynamic group or contemporary artists during Art Basel/Miami at the Miami Center for Architecture and Design. Salient works will be presented that highlight the diversity evident in contemporary visual art practices today, including painting sculpture and mixed media installations.

Additionally, PRIZM will feature the work of emerging Miami-based artists of African descent, such as T. Eliot, and Asser Saint Val. These artists redefine their world and bring into focus socio-political and cultural issues pertinent to the people of African descent in Miami and beyond. The select artists are actively engaged in perpetuating Miami’s growth as a cultural hub.

Opening Reception

12:00 PM – 12:30PM Serendipity a conceptual film by Awol Erizku
1:00 PM – 2:30pm Prizm Panel Talk with Prof. Kobena Mercer moderated by Prof. Patricia Saunders
Prof. Mercer will discuss his new book, Travel & See, in which he presents a diasporic model of criticism that pays close attention to the aesthetic strategies in contemporary Black diaspora art. He also traces the shifting political and cultural contexts in which black visual art circulates over the last 35 years.
2:45 PM – 3:15PM Film Screening Papa Machete A Third Horizon Film
More than two hundred years ago, the slaves of Haiti defeated Napoleon’s armies in the historic revolutions that took place between 1791-1804. One of their weapons was the very tool they used to work the land, the machete. Papa Machete explores the esoteric martial art that evolved during the slave revolts through the practice and life of a farmer named Alfred Avril. The short film documents his proud devotion to his heritage in the face of bitter poverty, and his efforts to keep this mysterious art alive.
3:30 Pm – 4:15 Pm Prizm Panel Talk With Contemporary Visual Artist Jefferson Pinder
4:30 Pm – 5:30 Pm Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation talks about their work in Brooklyn and how they’re using the arts to educate.

King Britt will provide the righteous beats for the day. At 5:30 PM, contemporary artist, Jefferson Pinder, will present his performance piece Dark Matter(s) reaching Lionz of Zion. Jefferson Pinder has created a morality play of sorts in which there is entanglement of music, athleticism and power. Slightly didactic, partly formal and consistently explosive, these break dancers will be lying their bodies On-The-Line to produce a dynamic performance that frighteningly brings rioting and B-Boy battles to contemporary art.

Art Miami Kickoff VIP Cocktails + Dinner
November 12, 2015
As a kickoff to the collaboration with the Fair, Merrill Lynch will host a VIP Screening of the highly acclaimed and brilliant documentary entitled BERNICE, by first time filmmaker Kristina Sorge. This short format documentary tells the story of art world pioneer and instigator, Bernice Steinbaum. In this beautifully crafted documentary, Ms. Sorge highlights her subject’s lifelong efforts to support and empower female artists as well as artists of color throughout their careers. The personal obstacles and hardships faced by artists she so staunchly represented were amplified by the racial and gender inequality of the art world especially during the 1970s and 80s. Tickets for cocktails and the screening of the film at JW Marriott Marquis Miami, will go on sale mid October. An invitation only VIP dinner will follow the screening at db Bistro Moderne.

Design Miami/ expands geographic and creative horizons for 2015 edition. Design Miami/ welcomes first-time galleries from São Paulo, Rome, London, New York, Brussels and Beijing. Annual pavilion commission awarded to student team from Harvard University Graduate School of Design Fair’s engagement with graphic arts continues with 2015 fair identity from French illustrator Pierre Le-Tan.

his December 2-6, the ongoing evolution of Design Miami/ will see a number of exciting ‘firsts’ for the fair alongside the maturation of its core relationships and initiatives.

The abiding strength of interest in design from Brazil is marked by the inaugural participation of Firma Casa from São Paulo. Design Miami’s dedication to supporting young and emerging design talent takes a new turn as the fair partners with Harvard University Graduate School of Design (Harvard GSD) on a unique pavilion commission. Following the attention garnered by the dedicated watch satellites at Design Miami/ Basel this summer, the December 2015 fair will for the first time host a horological exhibitor in the gallery program. The joie de vivre associated with the fair’s graphic identity in recent editions will be given fresh verve by the celebrated French illustrator Pierre Le-Tan. The Design Curio program for special projects that challenge and contextualize collectible design will return for its second Miami edition.

This December sees a number of new galleries joining Design Miami’s impressive roster of exhibitors. Firma Casa, São Paulo will show a new series of works by the Campana Brothers; Galerie Philippe Gravier, Paris, specialist in architecture, will show two monumental pavilions by Japanese architect Kengo Kuma; cutting edge and experimental contemporary design from Gallery ALL of Beijing, which exhibited in 2014 as a Design Curio; the rare watch dealership Le Collection’Heure, Brussels; collectible contemporary works from PHOS ART + DESIGN (formerly Sarah Myerscough), London; and Secondome, Rome, a dynamic project space that commissions hand-crafted editions from an international list of designers.

UNBUILT: Design Miami/ Harvard GSD Pavilion
Following a school-wide competition in which over 100 students from 32 student teams participated, a judging panel comprising both Harvard Graduate School of Design (GSD) faculty and representatives of Design Miami/ selected the winning concept. This commission represents the first time Design Miami/ collaborates with a school and the very first design competition organized by the fair.

The chosen project was developed by a team of five students enrolled in the Harvard GSD Master in Architecture program: Joanne Cheung, Jenny Shen, Steven Meyer, Doug Harsevoort, and Yiliu Shen-Burke. As the name would suggest, UNBUILT is a celebration of unrealized design projects that will be realized as 3D foam models, which will form the pavilion’s canopy. The unmade designs that compose the pavilion are being collected from across the Harvard GSD community, and information on each will be accessible via an app developed by the digital design firm Modelo.

Craig Robins, Founder of Design Miami/, states “It is a privilege to partner with Harvard GSD, one of the most amazing sources of creative thinking in the world of design. We are excited to see the students’ vision realized at Design Miami/ – a platform that has always been committed to presenting the work of emerging talent alongside material by established and historic designers.”

Placed at the entrance to Design Miami/, UNBUILT will offer secluded and sociable seating areas; zones of greater or lesser canopy cover to shield visitors from sun or rain; and integrated lighting to create an intriguing and atmospheric night time environment.

Pierre Le-Tan’s Miami/
Design Miami/ has commissioned Parisian illustrator Pierre Le-Tan to create a portfolio of sketches inspired by the fair’s home city. Le-Tan, known for his evocative New Yorker covers, and for delicately colored, crosshatched drawings for magazines including Vogue, Tatler and The World of Interiors, has produced a vision of Miami in his signature whimsical style. The illustrator’s interpretation is peopled with bathing beauties, flamingos and fearsome aquatic creatures set against a backdrop of Art Deco hotels and Key lime pies. The sketches will not only provide the graphic identity for this year’s fair, but will also form the inspiration for a capsule collection produced in collaboration with J.Crew. The collection will be available to purchase on site at the Design Miami/ fair and at select J.Crew stores in Miami, New York, Los Angeles, London, Paris and Hong Kong.

Awards, Events and Collaborations/
This year’s fair will see the second edition of the Design Visionary Award, celebrating an exceptional individual or group that has supported, promoted or extended design practice or connoisseurship. The laureate of the award is recognized as having a continued and tangible impact on the design world and will be announced at a special event on September 29th.

This December will also see the return of the Design Curio program: a platform for immersive and surprising installations from the design world’s outer edges. Showcasing everything from handcrafts to cutting edge technology, contemporary conceptual design to historical phenomena, these contemporary ‘cabinets of curiosities’ are interspersed among the gallery booths throughout the fair.

Design Miami/ 2015 will host the ever-popular and dynamic Design Talks series, presented by the Surf Club and will play host to design installations by long-term partners Audi, Swarovski, Fendi and Perrier-Jouët.

Cost: 100

Following the great success of its first historical dinner inspired by Catherine De Medici, Toscana Divino, the premiere modern Italian restaurant and wine bar located in the heart of Mary Brickell Village, is proud to announce the second in a series of unique wine dinners, this time honoring Leonardo Da Vinci, arguably the most important Tuscan in history.

Most will remember the most eclectic genius of all times as a painter, mathematician, engineer, inventor, sculptor, architect, geologist, cartographer, botanist, writer, among other talents. What you may not know is that Leonardo extensively opined on food, and created original recipes and tools used in modern cooking and dining today.

Travel back 500 years back with us and let Leonardo bring the dinner to life as he interacts with guests and tells his stories on what he was eating, what he thought we should eat, and how he combined food and art. Centuries later, what Jesus and the apostles dined on in Leonardo’s masterpiece, The Last Supper, is still a subject of debate. Leonardo’s favorite foods ranged from exotic foods to what are now staples of the Tuscan and Italian cuisine – and you will have the opportunity to taste them all.

In keeping with Leonardo’s environment and culture, each dish will be paired with Tuscan wine presented by the Frescobaldi Wineries. The history of the Frescobaldi family begins during the same period as the birth of the banking industry in Medieval Florence. The Frescobaldis quickly became the absolute protagonists of political and economic life, earning themselves the right to the title “treasurers to the English Crown”.

The Frescobaldi family started in wine production in Florence at the beginning of the 1300s and quickly garnered a reputation for the highest quality wine. By the 1500’s, the Frescobaldi wines were served at the tables of the Papal Court and the English Court of Henry the Eighth.

In conjunction with Art Basel, the night will feature a display of Alessandro Reggioli, a young and established Italian artist from Florence, whose work was inspired by Leonardo’s lifelong study of the flight and the human heart.

The Leonardo Da Vinci Historical Wine Dinner will be held on December 1st at 8:00 p.m. and cost $100 plus tax and gratuity. For more information, please call 305-371-2767 or visit toscanadivino.com

Massive Urban Art Block Party To Debut In Wynwood. Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood has become synonymous with graffiti, urban art, murals and street art, and it offers a unique way for the public to experience this art form. This year, Mana Wynwood, Mana Contemporary and the Bushwick Collective have teamed up to launch the Mana Urban Arts Project at the iconic RC Cola Plant in Miami. To celebrate this historic occasion, they joined forces with Basel House to host a free, four-day block party during Art Basel Week. The Basel House & Bushwick Collective Block Party will be the epicenter of the graffiti world this December. RSVP for the Launch Party to get a Free Drink.

The Block Party will showcase some of the world’s top street artists including Ghost (NY), GIZ (NY), Case Maclaim (Germany), Shok1 (England), Atomik (Florida), Lola Blu (Florida), Crash One TATS CRU (NY), Don Rimx (Florida), Sipros (Brazil), James Cochran (Australia), Aiko (US/Japan), SPOK (Spain), Hoxxoh (Florida) and Trek6 (Florida), to name a few. These artists will transform the RC Cola Plant with an entire body of new murals and paintings. Artists will be painting live throughout the four-day event. In addition, The Heineken® Mobile Art Experience will make a stop with their branded truck, which will feature a rotating canvas on the outside and a fully stocked art store and gallery on the inside. In addition, a free concert series featuring Fat Joe and other hip hop legends will add to the colorful backdrop. DJ’s, arts & craft vendors will also be present. It wouldn’t be Wynwood without the Food Trucks, so Basel House has secured a swarm of South Florida favorites; from lobster to hot dogs, you name it, they’ll be serving it up!

Curating the collaboration is Joe Ficalora of the Bushwick Collective from Brooklyn. The Bushwick Collective was born on the streets of Brooklyn as a way for Joe to cope with personal tragedy. The Collective transformed a large section of the Bushwick neighborhood into a colorful and vibrant work of urban art. Many of those artists will be making the trip to Miami to help launch the Wynwood location of the Mana Urban Arts Project. “We are proud to showcase some of the best artists from around the world, and we hope to inspire the masses,” explains Joe.

The team at SWARM is known for hosting incredible events throughout South Florida, and Basel House will be no different. “We are honored to be working with the Bushwick Collective and Mana,” says Tony Albelo, SWARM CEO and Basel House Director. “The only way to launch this unique project is with a complete and utter blowout, and that’s what we’re going to do.”

MIAMI’S YOUNG LEADERS UNITE FOR GOOD
22 Organizations co- host the 4th annual Young Professionals Holiday Happy Hour,
100% of the proceeds benefit PATCHES Miami, FL, December 1, 2015– In the spirit of the season, Miami’s young professionals’ organizations (22 in total) will join forces on Tuesday, December 1st at 6:00 PM to raise a glass and funds for PATCHES. The joint Holiday Party tradition was started in 2012 when a group of friends were inspired to unite the young leaders in South Florida for one cause, and one epic celebration. The event is designed to welcome and include all groups and has true charity at its root purpose. Although many of the participating co-hosts exist to raise awareness and resources for their own causes – for this one event, the groups put their own needs aside and raise funds for an unaffiliated cause. This gesture and united effort embodies the holiday spirit and message.
“Events like the #YoProHHH make me feel proud to be a young professional in Miami because they showcase our value of community. There is a lot more to this event than mere boozing and schmoozing. Hundreds of young professionals from a variety of different faiths, backgrounds and professions will unite to ring in the holiday season in support of a local nonprofit. What is the value of young professionals uniting in this way you ask? Uniting young professionals in this way facilitates in the development of philanthropic values that they will carry on for the remainder of their lives and pass on to the next generation, that’s what.” – Jeffrey Greenberg, Jewish National Fund, Miami-Dade Director
“Giving back is an integral part of my professional and personal life. Like many of the leaders of Young Professionals groups, I am involved in many different organizations as it’s incredibly fulfilling. I was given much and in return love to give back. Realtors are the heart of a community and I strongly feel it is our duty to return to the community what it gives to us. A community is just that, it’s a group of people giving back to each other; what are we without each other?” – Christina Pappas, Realtor/Assistant District Sales Manager, KEYES Realty In its 4th year, the 2015 event will be held at the InterContinental Miami (100 Chopin Plaza, Miami, FL 33131) with expected attendance to exceed 300 – a testament to the thriving community of new leaders that call Miami home. Participating organizations represent professional associations, chambers of commerce, corporate affinity groups, alumni associations, and not-for-profit volunteer corps. The entry fee is $10 for pre-registered guests, and $15 at the door. Tickets available at: http://bit.ly/YoProHHH2015

Stef Silva is a singer/songwriter from Miami, FL whose soulful vocals and melodic sounds have helped make her unique in the South Florida music scene.

Driven by her desire to bridge the gap between art and faith, Stef writes about her experiences in life and uses music as a sounding board.

“It’s not just about music. It’s more than that. We as human beings use art (whether poetry, painting or music) to communicate. For me, I cannot separate what I believe from what I create. I give meaning to what I believe when I create. I believe art, like other things in life, is a reflection of our heart. It’s what makes what we create meaningful.”

Join us for a live performance at La Bodeguita Restaurant on Nov 18th at 9pm to listen to Stef Silva live.

“A delightful new holiday tradition” —Talkin’ Broadway

It’s now one year since his miraculous transformation, and good old Scrooge is back to his old ways, or so it seems. Ebenezer is now suing Marley and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future for breaking and entering, kidnapping, slander, pain and suffering, attempted murder, and intentional infliction of emotional stress. It’s the “Trial of the Century” with hysterical courtroom antics. With this all-new, very smart and clever script, worthy of the Dickens original, playwright Mark Brown has created an entertaining, funny and uplifting new tradition for the holiday season.

Performances: Wednesday – Saturday 8 p.m., Sunday 3 p.m.

Based on The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe from The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis, this musical adaptation is fun for the whole family, featuring unforgettable songs and popular characters. The story begins with the land of Narnia frozen in a perpetual winter of darkness and despair, seemingly all under the dominion of the White Witch, Queen Jadis, including the intelligent talking animals once ruled by the great and majestic lion Aslan, King of Narnia. Though Aslan is often absent from the land (so that his very existence is doubted by some), he returns when the need for him is greatest, bringing with him an end to the long winter, and making an ultimate sacrifice of love, culminating in a battle between good and evil. Entering at a moment of high adventure in the story are four children, transported from our world through a magical wardrobe.

Baptist Children’s Hospital will present a Teddy Bear Casting Clinic on December 5 following the 2 p.m. performance

“All Kids Included” Sensory-Friendly Saturday Performance: December 12 at 11 a.m.

Special Holiday Performances: December 19 at 7 p.m. and December 20 at 3 p.m.

Photographs from The Coral Gables Food Wine and Spirits Festival by Mr Q 305

Posted on    by

Hundreds of foodies, wine aficionados and just plain good times seekers braved the elements this past Saturday to enjoy The 6th Edition of the Coral Gables Food Wine & Spirits Festival. The downpour did not dampen the spirit (no pun intended) of festival patrons, who came prepared with umbrellas, ponchos or anything that could shelter them from the rain.

Once under the tents, the attendees were able to enjoy from a variety of more than three hundred different brands of libations; there was Rum, Wine, Tequila, Beer and even water, organized into five separate pavilions.

There were ten different food stations. Each station offered two to three different types of food. For example: Station #1 offered Japanese, Station #2 was Greek and so on.

On Sunday at The Lincoln Motor Company display, attendees took part in a unique test drive experience of its new line of vehicles, including the all-new Lincoln MKX. Participating guests received a luxury gift.

The MKX has one of the smoothest ride of any vehicle I have ever driven. You have to try it!

Here are some images from the two day event:

Kontempo Art invites you to the fine art solo exhibit by Philip Graff Shapiro: Perfection in Imperfection.

As Greek philosophers have stated: The paradox of perfection is that no matter how hard you try, you cannot have perfection, without imperfection. So if it is perfect, it must also be imperfect at the same time. It is this approach to perfection that we perceive in the abstract harmony that Philip masterfully showcase in his artwork.

Philip’s free flowing energy of moods and feelings, driven by his exuberant energy and lust for life, are displayed throughout his artwork. From his vivid color pallet to his remarkable techniques of applying paint, form part of a variety of different abstract works. Philip’s passion for painting and constantly striving to improve is what pushes him to make every piece as perfect as possible.

Kontempo continues with its tradition of promoting emerging artists who are quickly capturing the attention of contemporary art lovers.

Art Africa Miami Arts Fair is a juried multidisciplinary exhibition of fine contemporary art from the global African Diaspora. The central idea of Art Africa Miami is to present an array of visual works that pay homage to the centrality of Africa and its descendants contribution to the modern art world.

“Art has always been a tool to claim space, build power and to question the injustices that have shaped our social experiences,” Neil Hall, Founder. In the world of art and culture, artists are responsible for offering the viewer a chance to challenge society by bringing new meaning to the way we perceive the world.

Culture is space where we can introduce ideas, attack emotions, change values and find inspiration. Art is where we can imagine what change looks and feels like. Come join us as we seek to do our part in transforming our world to be more just and beautiful in all we do. This year, we continue our transformation of the historic community of Overtown.

Our aim is to continue advancing artists from the African Diaspora, including artists from Africa, North America, South America, the Caribbean, and Europe. Art Africa Miami brings a vital and essential cultural service to the South Florida community, lending the Magic City a true international flair.

PULSE Contemporary Art Fair is pleased to announce a full series of
programming and innovative partnerships in honor of its eleventh edition in Miami Beach taking place at Indian Beach Park from Tuesday, December 1 through Saturday, December 5, 2015. PULSE’s programs are inspired by the desire to cultivate a dynamic environment in which visitors can connect and engage with art, performance and current topics in the art market. The programming for each edition of the fair is filtered through the lens of an overarching theme, which for PULSE Miami Beach is Spectacle.

On Tuesday, December 1, PULSE Miami Beach will kick-off Miami Art Week with its signature Private Preview Brunch from 1pm-4pm. The invitation-only event will allow VIP guests of PULSE to enjoy a first-look at exhibitions and special projects. Guests will be invited to experience an interactive augmented reality installation by Amir Baradaran presented by Morgan Stanley and will enjoy refreshments courtesy of FIOL, PULSE’s Official Bubby Sponsor. VIP car service will be available during the Private Preview Brunch, Opening Celebration, and Sunset Celebration to and from Indian Beach Park courtesy of Official Automotive Sponsor Cadillac with a special South Beach pick-up and drop-off point at Shore Club, 1901 Collins Avenue.

Immediately following the Private Preview Brunch, PULSE will officially open to the public at 4pm on December 1 with an Opening Celebration featuring music, performance art and a PERSPECTIVES panel discussion. Hyperallergic, the art world’s trusted resource for critical discourse, partners with PULSE to present PERSPECTIVES talks at PULSE Miami Beach 2015 and at PULSE New York in 2016. Spectacle, Spector and Performance, moderated by Hyperallergic founder and editor-in-chief Hrag Vartanian, will be the first panel in this series bringing PLAY curator Stacy Engman and artists Kalup Linzy, Kate Durbin and Amir Baradaran into conversation. Performance artist Kate Durbin will bring to life an interactive piece entitled Hello Selfie! courtesy of TRANSFER gallery. Celebrated multi-disciplinary artist and recent New York Foundation of the Arts fellowship awardee Kalup Linzy will also debut Season 2 of his satirical art industry soap opera, As the Art World Might Turn. The evening will culminate with Linzy performing as Kaye, a singer and video artist who soul searches and simultaneously creates work about love, relationships, and family.

PULSE will celebrate Miami on Saturday, December 5 with a day dedicated to the city’s cultural richness. Miami- Dade residents will receive complimentary access to PULSE Miami Beach upon presentation of a valid ID between 10am and 5pm that day. The Sunset Celebration, which begins at 5pm, will feature Future Visions of Miami, an insightful PERSPECTIVES talk focused on the Miami art scene with in-depth conversations between prominent local art-world insiders, and a performance presented by the Knight Foundation.

PLAY, the fair’s platform for video and new media art, will be curated by New York-based independent curator Stacy Engman and will debut on Tumblr on Monday, November 30 with a dedicated screening area at the fair. Programming partner, Target Too, will offer visitors a place where products come to play and come to life. Introduced in New York City in March 2015, Target Too takes items sold at Target and combines them in inventive, unexpected ways. PULSE attendees will have the opportunity to experience installations from the original unveiling, as well as several new pieces built specifically for Miami Art Week.

Each December in Miami, NADA holds a renowned art fair to vigorously pursue our goals of exploring new or underexposed art that is not typical of the “art establishment.” NADA Miami Beach is recognized as a much needed alternative assembly of the world’s youngest and strongest art galleries dealing with emerging contemporary art. It is the only major American art fair to be run by a non-profit organization. The fair is open for both members and non-members of NADA to apply.

For the 13th edition of the fair, NADA Miami Beach remains committed to a selected presentation of exhibitors with this new venture at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach. Centrally located, the transition to an epicenter of activity better serves both NADA’s exhibitors and its audience, and reflects the continued growth of NADA as an international platform for contemporary art.

Proceeds raised from NADA Miami Beach ticket sales will go towards establishing the NADA International Exhibitor Prize, a new initiative to support first-time exhibitors traveling internationally to the fair in 2016.

There’s no doubt that its location just minutes from all of Miami’s hottest neighborhoods (including Wynwood, Design District, Downtown and South Beach) make The Arts and Entertainment District Miami’s next big discovery. Still being defined by the burgeoning creative scene, the Arts and Entertainment District is poised for exceptional growth in the coming years.

written and directed by Michel Lemieux and Victor Pilon

Will be presented in South Florida: BB&T Center in Sunrise on March 3-6, 2016 and at the American Airlines Arena in Miami on March 10-13, 2016

The new Cirque du Soleil touring show inspired by James Cameron’s record-breaking movie AVATAR, TORUK – The First Flight, will be presented at the BB&T Center in Sunrise on March 3-6, 2016 and at the American Airlines Arena in Miami on March 10-13, 2016, as part of a global tour in arenas around the world starting November 2015. The show is presented by Visa Signature®.

The show
TORUK – The First Flight is a live immersive multimedia spectacle that brings to the stage the breathtaking world of James Cameron’s AVATAR like you have never seen it before.

Through a riveting fusion of cutting-edge visuals, puppetry and stagecraft buoyed by a soaring cinematic score, Cirque du Soleil applies its unique signature style to James Cameron’s imaginary world and “makes the bond” between two kindred artistic visions that capture the imagination.

This live immersive experience also bears the distinct signature of directors and multimedia innovators Michel Lemieux and Victor Pilon. It is a living ode to the Na’vi’s symbiotic coexistence with nature and their belief in the basic interconnectedness of all living things.

Narrated by a “Na’vi Storyteller” and populated by unforgettable characters, TORUK – The First Flight is a mythical tale set thousands of years before the events depicted in the film AVATAR, and before any humans ever set foot on Pandora.

When a natural catastrophe threatens to destroy the sacred Tree of Souls, Ralu and Entu, two Omaticaya boys on the brink of adulthood, fearlessly decide to take matters into their own hands. Upon learning that Toruk can help them save the Tree of Souls, they set out, together with their newfound friend Tsyal, on a quest high up in the Floating Mountains to find the mighty red and orange predator that rules the Pandoran sky. Prophecy is fulfilled when a pure soul rises among the clans to ride Toruk for the first time and save the Na’vi from a terrible fate.

Ticket information
TORUK – The First Flight will be presented at the BB&T Center on March 3-6 and at the American Airlines Arena on March 10-13, 2016. Tickets for those performances will be on pre-sale for Cirque Club members beginning today, November 4. Public on-sale will start November 13 at 10:00am.

Failure in business is when you realize what you’re doing is not going to work, and the pivot that follows is key to success. In Silicon Valley and New York, failures are famously celebrated and treated as valuable learning experiences. However, in many U.S. and Latin American cities with nascent entrepreneurial ecosystems, the term “failure” remains taboo.

This year’s Global Entrepreneurship Week, YPA Miami and Luminary Central bring you local entrepreneurs from various sectors to share their stories of success—peppered with failures both large and small—for a conversation aimed at breaking the taboo.

Join us on November 18 @ The Lab Miami as we discuss with high-profile entrepreneurs how their failures led to their subsequent success, and their learnings along the way. Luminary Central and YPA Miami have joined forces to present this panel discussion in an effort to lessen the taboo of “failure” and celebrate the value in its learnings.

Confirmed speakers*:
Michael “Mike” B. Fernandez, Chairman, MBF Healthcare Partners
Ivan Rapin-Smith, Director, Watsco Ventures

Drink specials are available all night with Happy Hour prices until 9pm, so drink up with their delicious cocktails including the Smack My Bitch Up and P&B Summer Cup. P&B outdoes themselves with their amazing complementary tapas bar filled with tasty French and Spanish inspired bites to go with your cocktails, so you stay satisfied all throughout the party. No party is complete without some beats, and P&B so happens to have the best beats in town provided by DJ Jean Marc Halimi. South Beach has the best scene for nightlife and parties, and P&B adds to the mix, but with a little French flavor.

#ThankYouMiami for Fashion – Dressing for Thanksgiving in the Tropics

Thank-You-Miami-For-Fashion-What-To-Wear-To-Thanksgiving-In-The-Tropics-Title

Last year we established that celebrating the holidays “Miami style” is as much about eating lechón and plátanos as it is about rocking an outfit that screams “I’m from Miami” —one that adheres to the pillars of Miami’s unique and enviable style. Since the first holiday on the roster, Thanksgiving, does not come with a limiting color palette, we have free reign to let our creativity flow. That said, we figured you could use a little inspiration from your favorite Miami fashion obsessed blog to get you going so we’re bringing out photos from last year’s Thanksgiving archive. These photos were shot at Hotel Playa Cambutal in Panama where the TYM team will be spending the long holiday weekend again this year (and where we will likely be wearing similar outfits). A word to the wise, regardless of what outfit you select or where in the tropics you end up, don’t forget to bring mosquito repellent or you will feel their wrath come sun down. After all, we’re talking tropics here…

Miami International Auto Show is back for its 45th edition with more surprises than ever. Vitamin C Communications and one of the highest luxury brand cars is inviting you to come view live performances by the newest up-and-coming Latin Music artists on Friday, November 13, Saturday, November 14, and Sunday, November 15. The guests will enjoy the shows while exploring what the new car models have to offer. A meet and greet with the artists will also occur after each performance.

The Miami International Auto Show is considered among America’s top five auto shows. This year Vitamin C and their partners introduce four of the hottest emerging Latin Music artists in the industry. The first performance by Javier Garcia on Friday, November 13 at 7 PM kicks off the event. Garcia utilizes his talents as a composer, arranger, producer, multi-instrumentalist, and singer, to bring together various genres and craft them into his own unique sound.

Saturday, November 14, brings two exciting performances. Tomás Diaz, at 2 PM, a musician from Cuba, starts off the evening. A member of The Spam Allstars, Diaz’s influence by greats such as Jimmy Hendrix, Bob Marley, and Celia Cruz, as well as his experience collaborating with world-class musicians and his undeniable love for music, led him to his successful musical career. The second performance commences at 7 PM by Viva Más, a musical group from the Latin streets of Philadelphia. The group, consisting of five guys, stands out due to their rich harmonies and Latin rhythms, as well as their passion for music and unconditional need to share it with the world.

Last, but definitely not least, Sonlokos closes this year’s Miami International Auto Show at 5 PM on Sunday, November 15. The emerging Latin group formed in 2012 and already received a Latin Grammy Award nomination for Best Traditional Tropical Album this year for “Locos por el Son.” Guests who stick around till the end will have the opportunity to meet & greet each artist.

Help support programs dedicated to eliminating the digital divide and the homework gap in Miami. EveryoneOn, a national nonprofit supported in significant part locally by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, is participating in GiveMiamiDay 2015, a 24-hour online fundraiser to help energize its local activities to connect low-income families to affordable high-speed home Internet. For many Miami-Dade students, sitting in a McDonald’s parking lot, a city park, or riding public transportation is the only way to complete homework assignments. This not only puts them at a disadvantage, but keeps the family from accessing opportunities and information which could open doors to a brighter future. Don’t let Miami-Dade families rely on unsecure mobile phone Internet or public wifi, get them connected!

From painting to poetry, KIND Snacks (KIND) invites South Florida to join them in recognizing our community’s most talented young artists. Building upon the success of last year’s landmark campaign, KIND will again shine a light on the importance of youth arts education during Art Basel – this time in the form of a pop-up called The KIND Café: an #ichooseart experience.

Featuring a gallery of student artwork, live musical and spoken word performances by youth artists, and a hands-on community mural, The KIND Café will be an oasis for those who love and appreciate all things creative. Welcoming impromptu performances with an open mic, KIND invites any young artist to freely express themselves before a supportive audience.

The pop-up will also offer a complimentary “Bar Bar” where guests can pair their favorite KIND snack with craft beer, cheese and other selections, as well as the opportunity to take home exclusive art pieces featuring the work of local young artists.

With this event, KIND asks attendees to support the idea of art being accessible to all, something that can be a source of guidance and inspiration… all starting with the powerful choice to live a kinder, healthier, more positive life.
