CompARTiendo.us es una pieza de arte que, como su propio nombre lo indica, su función es compartir arte. Dicha obra pretende estimular al coleccionismo, tanto a través de su compra simbólica como de su gesto al aportar una pieza similar a pueblos donde se quiere compartir el evento artístico. De esta forma el artista, Leonel Matheu, ha utilizado una obra serigráfica en forma de postal como recurso artístico para crear puentes de unión cultural entre pueblos.

Esta pieza interactiva de arte consta de varios pasos. Una es su promoción por la vía cibernética y su acceso, que a la vez funciona como escenario de la pieza de arte. Bajo ese concepto las personas compran la pieza y a la vez comparten la simetría de la misma con otro individuo en un lugar distante que se le entrega de forma humana y aleatoria, cumpliéndose así un puente de enlace cultural.

Esta obra se pretende anunciar durante las ferias de arte Art Basel y Art Miami en Diciembre 2011 con el propósito de presentarla dentro de un contexto que le facilita su promoción por su condición de pieza de arte conceptual. Luego que la pieza se compre vía cibernética, el artista pretende repartir el numero similar de las cantidades compradas, en este caso en Cuba por ser su país natal, y seria apropiado en el contexto de la 11a. Bienal de la Habana en el 2012 por su gran importancia dentro de las Artes Plásticas y en las Artes Visuales en el mundo.

La postal mide 6×8 pulgadas, y tanto el coleccionista como el transeúnte recibe una pieza de 6×4 pulgadas impresa en serigrafía, seriada y firmada por el artista.

Model Profile: Ingrid Suarez: I carry my own seal of approval. Plenty of aptitude and the attitude to go with it.

Where did “The Suarez” come from??? Her momma, where else?! Actually the last name Suarez was her mother’s maiden name. Which after her untimely death. Ingrid decided to assume it as her own as a way of having her mom’s memory live on. In true Ingrid fashion she has taken this last name to another level.

She has made it possible for those who have yet to meet her, know who she is with just the mention of her name. She wants “The Suarez” to be more than just a name. She wants it to resonate for years to come. “The Suarez” is becoming a Brand and its own entity. Her taste is a diverse as they come. Which is why one day you see her as a Vampire and the next a Pinup Doll. She can be strong and sexy. And subtle and sweet.

There are no limits to her looks or persona, but one thing she is…Unique and Original! Which is why so many people are asking to work with and ask for “The Suarez by name. They want only what she can bring to the table. The Suarez is full of ideas and will always give you her insight. But she is also willing to hear the other person’s. She is an expert in marketing and networking. Her favorite motto is…”One hand washes the other”. And that is exactly what she does with those who do right by her.

She is as professional and loyal as they come! And always expects the same from those she decides to work with and bring into her circle. The Suarez has become synonymous with the very loved and charismatic Cuban Puppet Pepe Billete. She has been in numerous of his videos and there are plans for many more ventures in the Escoria Films camp. She has also joined forces to build and be featured in the skits for “EFFIN-TEE Productions” with Mister Takeover and Francisco Duran(Comedian).

The Suarez has recently added actress and agent to her resume. She is currently in the works of opening her own casting agency. So that she can bring fresh and undiscovered talents upfront and into the spotlight. The Suarez plans on letting her list of experiences and talents grow, there is no plans of her stopping or slowing down. She is a force to be reckoned with, her reach is extensive and very prominent! And her voice is always heard above everything and anything. When The Suarez speaks…people pay attention!

The Suarez has been in the music scene for the last 12 years. From the Breakbeat Days in Orlando, to the House Music scene in Miami. Because of this, she has become great friends with some world famous DJs and even some of the Local Talent. The Suarez’s taste in music is all over the place, she considers herself to be musically promiscuous. But if she were to consider herself as a child of any one genre? It would definitely be for her love of Rock Music.

The Suarez has friends from all walks of life. She will let anyone into her world so long as they keep it as real as she is. She speaks her mind, is blunt, honest, abrasive, and has no problem with letting you know she doesn’t like you. The Suarez is bringing her sexy and no bullshit attitude to the industry. Bitch or not, Love her or Hate her. She is one of the best people you will ever have the privilege meeting. Hopefully one day you will.

So you see…I’m not JUST a Model. There is much more to The Suarez than meets the eye.

Essex House Hotel to Showcase Miami Artists During Art Basel Weekend with Natives: An Exhibition by Local Artists
Saturday, December 3 from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm
Essex House Hotel
1001 Collins Avenue
Miami Beach, FL

Please RSVP to this event by emailing marketing@clevelander.com or by calling 786-276-1417.

The Essex House Hotel will present Natives, featuring original pieces from South Florida artists at a special cocktail reception featuring complimentary cocktails and light bites at Essex House Saturday December 3 from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm.

To create the Natives exhibition, the Essex House asked local artists to create work inspired by the Essex House lobby mural, which was painted in 1938 by artist Earl LePan. The mural depicts the swamps of Florida and was designed to tell early South Beach guests the story of South Florida. Artists will be creating paintings, photographs and mixed media pieces inspired by, but not directly reflecting the piece.

The reception will also include a silent auction, with a portion of the proceeds benefitting the American Indian Association, which was founded to promote and care for American Indian inter-tribal social and cultural needs through social gatherings, educational programs and special events. The event is supported by MIAMI Magazine and Leblon, and will feature live music, all set in the historic art deco lobby of the Essex House.

A cocktail party featuring new original works by South Florida artists, inspired by the lobby mural at the Essex House Hotel. More than just a cocktail party, proceeds from a silent auction of the original artwork will benefit the American Indian Association.

Square Foot Art Basel Miami initiates the first site-specific project at our Miami Wynwood location. During this year’s world-acclaimed Art Basel Miami, Projects Gallery will create a mosaic-style wall in its trendy Wynwood Lofts gallery in the Wynwood Arts District. Artists from around the world were selected in a call-to-artists process that guaranteed a spot on the wall for the first one hundred applicants. This truly democratic process resulted in hundreds of works being submitted and chosen. Creating a grid comprised on 12″ x 12″ individual spaces with works of all styles and media, including painting, drawing, photography and sculpture, Projects Gallery provides artists an opportunity to be part of the Art Basel Miami art fair events. The remarkable gathering of international art fairs and renown emerging venues creates an art-conscious concentration uniquely found in Miami every year in early December. It attracts collectors, curators and artists world wide in a variety of settings with a level of enthusiasm and energy that is fitting for this international destination. This square-foot format seeks to give exposure to familiar and unknown artists alike, and the installation will be dynamic, enriching and challenging. Square Foot Art Basel Miami will provide a “foot” print for this talented and diverse group. Please join us in their celebration.

Ship Of Tolerance Art Exhibit At Children’s Museum
November 30-December 4, 2011
Miami Children’s Museum
980 MacArthur Causeway
Watson Island, Miami

Wolfgang Roth & Partners, Fine Art announces
Miami Children’s Museum (MCM) as Primary Educational Partner
for the Kabakovs’ Miami Ship of Tolerance project, 2011.

The Miami Children’s Museum has come aboard the Ship of Tolerance Project, by Ilya and Emilia Kabakov, providing coordination of all participating children, a forum for discussion about the universal theme of Tolerance and production assistance for all of the children’s artwork to be used on the project.

Currently in its fifth edition since 2005, the Ship of Tolerance was previously produced in Siwa, Egypt; Venice, Italy; St. Moritz, Switzerland and Sharjah, UAE. The Miami edition will be the first time that the project is realized in North America.

A non-profit children’s project, the Ship of Tolerance is the brainchild of artists Ilya and Emilia Kabakov who are Russian-born, American-based artists. The project gives a platform to local children between the ages of 6 and 13, to explore the universal theme of Tolerance.

Miami Children’s Museum, 980 MacArthur Causeway on Watson Island in Miami, will serve as the prime location for children to learn about the project and design and create their contributions. The Museum has long been a clearing house to explore issues of cultural diversity, racism, and understanding and has even designed one of their permanent exhibits as a constant example of learning acceptance.

MCM’s Teddy Bear and Me Exhibit uses the universal theme of teddy bears to show how the clothing and culture may be different, but underneath they are still all teddy bears. It deals with objectives in teaching ways in which all people are alike and different; how we relate to one another; and other issues of prejudice, words that hurt, showing respect and positive examples of how to resolve a conflict situation.

At MCM, after discussing this Ship of Tolerance theme as a group, individual children have been painting their own interpretation of Tolerance onto a large piece of canvas of uniform size. Approximately 150 of these canvas paintings are to be later hoisted onto the mast of an approximately 60 ft ship, which will be constructed on site at the Art Miami 2011 art fair. The entire exhibition will be available for public viewing during Art Miami, 2011 from November 30-December 4, 2011. The remaining paintings will be on exhibit in venues throughout the city during the first week of December.

Upon the completion of Art Miami 2011, the Ship of Tolerance is expected to move to the Miami Children’s Museum where it will be on exhibit until the end of January, 2012.

The Miami Children’s Museum welcomes the participation of local children in this unique and highly visible children’s art project. Please contact Victor Vincent at the Miami Children’s Museum, (305)373-5437 (KIDS) ext. 103 or go to the website: www.miamichildrensmuseum.org, for more information or to inquire about participation.
