Objektivity, Aquabooty Mia and Giant Step present: NueWave Renegades Miami 2011
Say New Jersey to certain people and the first thing they will think of is house music – the kind of music that laid down it’s roots in late 70s / 80s Club Zanzibar home to DJs such as Tony Humphries, Tee Scott and Larry Levan. The kind of music that was slowly elaborated on and built by producers such as Blaze and many many others. into a powerful pantheon that is respected worldwide.
Today Dennis Ferrer’s New Jersey house music imprint Objektivity carries the torch for house music – continuing that vibe in a way that reflects the original spirit without being retrograde. Ferrer has been riding high on a consistent stream of praise from fans and others alike. From a Grammy nomination for his remix of Dido to his crossover hit of 2010 “Hey Hey†to his alternative vocal track of 2011, “The Red Room”, Ferrer has a magic touch.
Never happy to sit on his laurels, this year Ferrer brings a new concept to Miami for Ultra Week with his hugely popular annual Objektivity event spread across two rooms in downtown Miami’s Grand Central venue. NeuWave Renegades is his new project moniker and features Ferrer alongside a rotation of friends who represent something of the spirit of US house music.
In Room 1 and as part of this special edition of the NeuWave Renegades tour, he will play back to back for the first time ever with his mentor and friend, Kerri Chandler. This marks the return to Miami of Chandler after years missing from the WMC circuit and in unison with Ferrer will surely be a night to be remembered. The Martinez Brothers who made their Miami debut in 2007 as Ferrer’s young proteges are all grown up now and back on this years bill with a stellar single “Issshhh!!!” dropping on Objektivity in the weeks leading up to the festivities. Dyed Soundorom of the now defunct Parisienne Freak N’ Chic crew and Circo Loco resident joins the lineup with his brand of modern house.
Room 2 welcomes Karizma who is back on the bill after a one year hiatus. Things just weren’t the same without him and expect nothing short of the usual CDJ extravaganza with his unique take on underground and soulful house. 19 year old Kyle Hall joins this lineup as a prelude to his scheduled date at Coachella in April. Hall’s eclectic blend of Detroit house, techno and bass energizes underground dance floors globally. DJ Qu and Anthony Parasole of the Deconstruct / Strength Music family mark their Miami performance debut with their edgy representation of New York deep house and techno. Objektivity soldier, Filsonik opens the night.

Touring In Support of their First Full-Length Album of Original Songs – First Light
Easy Star All-Stars, the musical collective known internationally for their wildly popular dub-reggae tributes to iconic rock albums – Dub Side of the Moon (Pink Floyd), Radiodread (OK Computer) and Easy Star’s Lonely Hearts Dub Band (The Beatles) are coming to South Florida on Saturday, April 9. Touring in support of their first full-length album of original songs, First Light (April 5, 2011), their live show will offer an extensive sampling of songs from each of these popular releases along with selections from the more bass-heavy remix album Dubber Side of the Moon and the original EP Until That Day.
Easy Star All –Stars are supported by Hawaii’s, The Green, whose self-titled debut album was named iTunes Best Reggae Album of 2010 and finished 2010 at #9 on the Billboard reggae charts, along with Cas Haley, who is best known as runner up on Season 2 of NBC’s “America’s Got Talentâ€.
Easy Star All-Stars: Combining musical versatility, instrumental prowess, beautiful vocal harmonies and a superb rhythm section, the Easy Star All-Stars have established themselves as one of the top international reggae acts. Thanks to their best-selling tribute albums: Dub Side of the Moon (2003); Radiodread (2006); and Easy Star’s Lonely Hearts Dub Band (2009), as well as the original EP, Until That Day (2008), the band has brought together fans of reggae, classic rock and indie rock into one big family. Their first full-length album of original songs, FIRST LIGHT, is set for release on April 5, 2011. Originally formed in 1997 for Easy Star Records’ earliest recordings, the Easy Star All-Stars existed mostly as a studio entity until releasing Dub Side of the Moon. The group, which operates as a collective with a rotating cast of musicians and singers, was put together by Easy Star co-founders Michael Goldwasser, Eric Smith and Lem Oppenheimer. These three have directed and managed the band ever since. In 2009, the All-Stars played 125 shows in 25 countries on 6 different continents, truly establishing themselves as one of the top reggae touring acts in the world. The band was nominated for a UK Festival Award for its three-day, three-stage performance at Glastonbury 2009. www.easystar.com

The Green’s self-titled debut album was named iTunes Best Reggae Album of 2010 and they were recently awarded Best Reggae Album at the 2011 Hawaii Music Awards. In February, they supported Nas & Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley on the Distant Relatives tour and they have several headlining and supporting dates in the US in 2011.

Cas Haley: Cas Haley has spent his life developing a sound that is truly original, combining classic influences from Bob Wills to Bob Marley, with a powerfully soulful voice and prolific talent for song writing. His evolved style has helped him to share the stage with UB40, Burning Spear, Al Green, Martin Sexton, Blues Traveler, Soulive, Mofro, Jah Roots and many more. In 2007, Cas took an unusual opportunity to appear on NBC’s hit show “America’s Got Talent†where he took the national audience by storm with his incredible rendition of Sting’s Walking on the Moon. His self-titled album (2008) has consistently remained in the top ten reggae albums on iTunes and the Billboard charts, finishing 2008 as the #8 Billboard Top Selling Reggae Album of the Year. Mixed by Danny Kalb (Ben Harper, Beck), his newest album, Connection (2010), bristles with chill grooves, rocking guitars and funky horns, all fuelling Cas’ irresistible melodies. www.cashaley.com

PechaKucha was devised in Tokyo in February 2003. Drawing its name from the Japanese term for the sound of “chit chatâ€, it rests on a presentation format that is based on a simple idea: 20 images x 20 seconds.

www.pecha-kucha.org/night/miami/10
The Bass Museum of Art in Miami Beach will host a PechaKucha, a creative networking event, exploring the local Slow Art Movement on Saturday, March 19th from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. as part of the museum’s monthly Wine, Wander, and Wonder program. PechaKucha is a Japanese inspired event for creatives to meet, network and share their work in public.
With 20 Power Point slides shown for 20 seconds each, local thought leaders – Myra Wexler (Musing with Myra), Jason Hedges (Artist), Kathleen Carignan, Esq (LegalArt Residency Program), Karelle Levy (Stitching Bitches), Dr. Adrienne Von Lates (Bass Museum of Art), Kerry McLaney (Miami Independent Thinkers), Dennis Leyva (Miami Beach Art in Public Spaces) – will have about seven minutes to talk about developing conversations and community issues around their passion in the arts.
A wine reception available to all attendees will immediately follow the presentation.
About Slow Art
Slow Art Day started in 2009 as an experimental program with the hypothesis to see if it was possible to make great art more enjoyable and accessible to the general public – i.e. to share the “secret” that art experts, curators, educators, artists and others know: that if you look slowly, you will see. The end goal is to create “inspired, not tired” art experiences that keep audiences engaged. www.slowartday.com/index.html
About PechaKucha
PechaKucha was conceived in Tokyo in February 2003 by architects Mark Dytham and Astrid Klein as an event where young designers could meet, network and show their work in public. Over time, it has evolved into a massive celebration of creativity with over 380 cities represented hosting 900 events last year. The combined power of these cities equates to an incredible 10,000 presentations and 200,000 PechaKucha attendees annually.
Drawing its name from the Japanese phrase for the sound of conversation (“chit chat”), the PechaKucha format is simple—20 images x 20 seconds—and designed to keep presentations concise and moving at a rapid pace. www.pecha-kucha.org/cities/miami
About Bass Museum of Art

Artist’s projects, educational programs, lectures, concerts and free family days complement the works on view. Founded in 1963 when the City of Miami Beach accepted a collection of Renaissance and Baroque works of art from collectors John and Johanna Bass, the collection was housed in an Art Deco building designed in 1930 by Russell Pancoast. Architect Arata Isozaki designed an addition to the museum that doubled its size from 15,000 to 35,000 square feet between 1998 and 2002. For more information, please visit http://www.bassmuseum.org

MiaSci’s Young Patrons, the Museum’s thriving young professionals group, have decided to turn their yearly culmination event into a swanky, Miami nightlife-inspired after party to follow the museum’s signature Gala. MiaSci’s Big Bang After Party will begin where the traditional Galaxy Gala leaves off. Big Bang attendees and Gala goers that choose to attend the after party will be transported into deep space, homage to the museum’s historic Planetarium, where specialty lighting, music and performance artists will welcome attendees with a symbolic Big Bang (literally).
The night will feature special performances by Latin fusion funk band Xperimento and two well-known local DJ’s spinning dance music reminiscent of the Miami Beach club scene. The event will also have premium open bars to keep attendees hydrated and a gourmet dessert bar to enjoy late night treats.

Tonight, we are presenting two exciting multi instrumental groups: El Muco from New Haven, CT and The UOM from Miami, FL.
El Muco’s Brian Kane and Scott Petersen will perform on custom designed electronic instruments, creating ambient evolving and self-sustaining sonic textures with a high degree of complexity and internal life. El Muco will talk about their instruments before the concert and invite the audience to play the instruments before and after the concert!
The UOM uses a gyroscope as a metaphor for collective improvisation. Through the exploration of current and vintage technologies, the UOM seeks the inner sanctum of sound art: the majesty of a gesture that cannot be repeated and an experience that is at once unforeseeable and inevitable.

The Frost Art Museum Presents
2011 Aesthetics & Values Exhibition An art exhibition curated by FIU Honor’s College Students
March 23, from 6 pm to 9 pm
Target Wednesday After Hours
The Frost Art Museum
10975 SW 17 Street
Miami, FL 33199.
Writing done with fly pigment, ping pong balls in the shape of clouds and paper shapes that seem to go on forever are just a few of the objects that bridge the line between the real and surreal, the natural and man-made and the figurative and abstract works in the next installation of Aesthetics & Values Fine Art Exhibition (A&V) at The Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum at Florida International University (FIU). Sixty-four FIU Honors College students worked with 10 of Miami’s most notable artists at the sixth annual A&V exhibition. This event, which is free and open to the public, runs from March 8, 2011 through April 17, 2011. The opening reception is March 23, 2011 during Target Wednesday After Hours from 6 pm to 9 pm at The Frost Art Museum located on 10975 SW 17 Street, Miami, FL 33199.
“This collaboration has proven to be quite successful,” said Carol Damian, Director and Chief Curator of The Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum. “Now in its second year at the museum, this is a unique experience for students to learn the intricacies of curating an exhibition within the confines of a true operational museum.”
Each of these works will have visitors challenging the concept of reality. The A&V 2011 exhibition will feature the works of Daniel Arsham, José Bedia, Ivan Toth Depeña, Jacin Giordano, Fabian Peña, Karen Rifas, Cristina Lei Rodriguez, John Sanchez, Jen Stark and Antonia Wright. Several of the artists have created works specifically for this year’s exhibition.
“Most of my recent pieces are made with insect parts in a process where I transform these repulsive creatures into other anatomies. I re-context these organic elements into significant objects that address existential matters. The questioning of the artwork as a cultural product happens through an image of death and resurrection. The viewer’s perception is relocated; it is a “re-awakening” to place the spectator in an ambiguous perceptual trap. The artwork becomes both a map and a detour,” says artist Fabian Peña, whose work for the exhibition is a phrase written with fly pigment across the windows on the first floor of The Frost Art Museum.
The Aesthetics & Values seminar teaches students about the role art plays in the social and cultural events in history and our daily lives. Taught by artist and Honors College John Bailly, the class aims to show how artists have enforced or challenged authority and ideas on controversial social and cultural issues. Students participate in the art community and learn how art makes people see the world differently. The students, who major in many different fields, then act as curators and work closely with established local artists to create their own increasingly prestigious contemporary art exhibition. The Aesthetics & Values class is respected not only locally, but across the nation. A&V students have annually presented at the National Collegiate Honors Council Conference (NCHC) since 2007.
A&V will provide student-run tours of the exhibition on March 22, 2011 from 3:30 to 4:45 p.m. at The Frost Art Museum. The opening reception will be during the museum’s popular Target Wednesday After Hours event on March 23, 2010 from 6 to 9 p.m. Target Wednesday After Hours is intended to supplement The Frost Art Museum’s exhibitions and grant visitors the opportunity to meet contemporary artists and connect with thought-provoking art of all mediums, live music, dance, films, and talks.

The Aesthetics and Values seminar, taught by artist and Honors College Fellow John Bailly, examines the vital role visual art plays in the social and cultural dialogue surrounding controversial issues. It investigates how artists have challenged or enforced authority by creating new aesthetics. It further explores how art is used to initiate, accelerate, or combat social change.

Brian Dursum, director of Lowe Art Museum at the University of Miami, and Stella M. Holmes, founder of The Brickellian Inc. and Brickell Gallery Night, invite you to the presentation of West Encounters East
Wednesday, March 16, 8-10 p.m.
Lowe Art Museum
1301 Stanford Drive
UM’s Coral Gables campus.
The event will be presented under the auspices of the Consulate General of Argentina in Miami.
Free and Open to the Public
The evening includes an informative speech by Joel Hollander, Ph.D., an art historian and full-time faculty member at the UM, focusing on reflections of Japanese art and culture in the imagery of contemporary Argentine artists, including Valeria Yamamoto, Ary Kaplan Nakamura, Guillermo Ueno, and Lucila Heinberg. This presentation will be followed by a reception and refreshments. The work of these artists will be shown in a special pavilion at arteamericas art fair, March 25 – 28, Miami Beach Convention Center).
Ms. Holmes said the focus of “West Encounters East” is to rethink the significance of cultural exchange and diversity in contemporary society by identifying emerging and mid-career Latin American artists of Asian heritage.
“It’s a natural evolution of Brickell Gallery Night’s mission to introduce emerging artists with Asian roots to the West,” Ms. Holmes said. “For me, the emphasis is the fusion of the two traditions. I think of it as Artists Without Borders – a beautiful way that we can learn from each other through a meaningful exchange of culture.”
“One of the primary considerations in ‘West Encounters East’ is to investigate how officially sponsored Japanese emigration programs to South America during the late 19th century and first half of the 20th century changed the ethnic and cultural heritage of Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, and Peru, as well as other countries in the region,” Dr. Hollander added. “The precedent for exploring how Western artists respond to Eastern art and culture can be traced back to the French Impressionists who helped to shape the genesis of modern art.”

Chefs With A Purpose:Haiti

Tickets: General Public: $80 advanced purchase at www.chefswithapurpose.org. $100 at the door the day of the event. Press: Please email aurelia.vasquez@ihg.com for more information on how to become accredited for the event
For more ticket and event information visit www.chefswithapurpose.org
The Chefs With A Purpose: Haiti event was conceived after the devastating Haiti earthquake in 2010. At the time, the InterContinental Miami reached out to its staff to determine how many were from and/or had family in Haiti. Nearly 90 employees, approximately one-fifth of the hotel’s staff, were affected. The hotel assisted its employees and families in a variety of ways such as assistance in locating lost loved ones and monetary and product donations. The fundraising event was created shortly thereafter to be able to have a greater reach in assisting the people of Haiti.
The InterContinental Miami organizes this event by donating its staff time and event space and services with 100 percent of the event proceeds going the Project Medishare and IFA. Chefs With A Purpose: Haiti was born of compassion and the urgency to partner with local community organizations in the relief efforts. ” We are honored to partner for the second year with International Firefighters Assistance and to begin a new partnership with Project Medishare,” said Robert Hill, General Manager of the InterContinental Miami. “One year later, this event takes on a greater importance because Haiti is not forgotten. More than ever we need to continue to promote awareness and provide much needed help that is still required.”
Guests of Chefs With A Purpose: Haiti will be greeted with music of renowned Haitian performers Mushy Widmaier and Phyllisia Ross. The event will feature over 20 tasting stations each offering a signature menu item by the participating top chefs. The evening’s silent auction will feature items ranging from hotel stays, unique dining experiences, art and other luxury items. A new addition this year is a Haitian art exhibit by Michele Frisch, Haiti’s leading art curator and collector. From March 16 through April 6, the lobby of the InterContinentalMiami will feature Haitian art from the Galerie Marassa collection and coincide with arteaméricas, the premier fair of art from Latin America. Advanced purchase tickets are $80 and will available starting Friday, February 18 through the event’s website at www.chefswithapurpose.org. The website will also feature updates on the chefs and the evening festivities as it becomes available.

Miami-bred actor, director and producer Andy Garcia returned to the Miami International Film Festival with his latest project, the World Premiere of Magic City Memoirs. This already sold out independent feature-length film directed, produced, written by and starring an ensemble cast and crew of Miami locals. Garcia serves as the film’s executive producer.
Magic City Memoirs is the story of three Miami high school friends-Milkey, Eric, and angle-who revel in their world of private school privilege and lax parental oversight while living large in the hip hop lifestyle of parties, fast cars, fast boats and easy sex. Miami director Aaron Salgado and producer J.D. Freixas capture the texture and energy of this pulse-pounding tropical paradise as only true insiders could. The cast included many locals and natives, including Garcia-Lorido, Nathalie Martinez (Detroit 1-8-7), Jordi Vilasuso (All My Children), and newcomers J.R. Villarreal and Mikey, Michael Cardelle as Eric and Andres Dominguez as Angel.

Family-Style Sundays At The Stage
New Live Music Venue Offers Families a Place to Experience Art Every Sunday
The owners of Miami’s newest live music and entertainment venue, The Stage, are impassioned when it comes to the impact art can have on a child. After watching schools cut art programs for years, owners Carlos Garcia and Sasha Torres wanted to give the community a place where children can experience art in its many forms. With their Family-Style-Sundays at The Stage parents and children have a whole new arena to explore music, art and food every weekend.
Every Sunday from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m., Family-Style-Sundays at The Stage will host a farmer’s market style festival that includes live music, various activities, and local vendors. There is no entry fee. Food is available from Gastropod, Miami’s mobile gourmet, which will have a permanent home at The Stage in the near future. The Stage will also offer interactive art and music classes in the coming months.
“What I think attracts families on Sundays is this relaxed vibe that comes from having great bands like Stokeswood and Locos Por Juana,†said Lizzie Easton of Soula Booking, one of the minds behind The Stage. The Stage has invited some of Miami’s hottest bands to come out on Sundays to showcase more mellow sounds complementary to the family environment.
Inspired by the French Market in New Orleans, Garcia saw how families flocked to a kid-friendly weekend diversion. “I think it’s vital to get back to the basics. We get so wrapped up with our everyday lives that we forget how important it is to spend quality time with our families,†he explained. Sunday’s have always been reserved as a family day, “at The Stage we’re giving families something much more exciting to do than family dinner†Torres boasted.

Together with her teacher, Kazu Takeda she turned more and more towards the oriental world where she recreates her occidental being through the techniques of sumi-e color.
On Saturday, March 19, MANO Fine Art presents Ferrari’s brilliant series, “Realidades Paralelas” (Parallel Realities) with a selection from MANO’s stunning new body of work, Erikae, which is also inspired by Japanese culture.

Now celebrating its Fifth Anniversary Season, the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County in partnership with AEG proudly presents a very special addition to the 2010-2011 Comedy Planet Series! On March 28, 2010 at 8 p.m. Kathy Griffin will present a racy, raucous, rambunctious evening of stand-up comedy in the John S. and James L. Knight Concert Hall.
Tickets range from $49 to $79 and are on sale now. Tickets may be purchased through the Adrienne Arsht Center box office by calling (305) 949-6722, or online at www.arshtcenter.org.
“Kathy Griffin has her own special brand of comedy that is sharp and witty, candid and side-splittingly funny,†said M. John Richard, president and CEO of the Adrienne Arsht Center. “Her humor speaks to audiences across race, gender, religion, and sexual orientation, and is simply the perfect addition to our 2010-2011 Comedy Planet series, reflecting and celebrating the great diversity of the Magic City.â€
Kathy Griffin may be known as the quintessential D-list diva, but not afraid to dish on everyone from Lindsay Lohan to Cher. She has shopped for bikinis with Paris Hilton, screamed and cheered alongside the “Clay-mates,†and allegedly had a serious romantic relationship with Levi Johnston. You won’t, however, catch her riffing on the Jews, the lesbians, or Barbara Walters – this divine diva knows her limits! KATHY GRIFFIN is a multi-faceted performer whose rapid-fire wit has garnered her multiple Emmy Awards and two Grammy Award nominations for Best Comedy Album.
A Chicago native, Griffin rose to fame during her four-year stint on the NBC sitcom “Suddenly Susan,†playing Brooke Shields’ acerbic colleague. After relocating to Los Angeles, she began building her professional resume with guest starring roles on “ER†and “Seinfeld,†eventually gaining critical acclaim as a stand-up comedian and landing her own HBO Special. Griffin’s television career quickly expanded to include appearances on late night talk shows, starring “roles†on reality TV shows, and multiple red carpet hosting appearances – some more well-received than others. In 2005, GRIFFIN’s reality show “Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-list†debuted on Bravo to rave reviews. Now in its sixth season, “D-list†has won multiple Emmy Awards and skyrocketed GRIFFIN to widespread recognition, capitalizing on her candid observations and hilarious brand of humor.

“I had attended many screenwriting workshops in Los Angeles, Las Vegas and even London so when a workshop was finally offered in my home town of Miami I thought ‘I can’t take another class! What could I get out of it that I haven’t gotten from all the rest?’ I was wrong. Harriette Yahr’s expertise and great skill as a teacher presented crucial material the other courses somehow overlooked and the intimate size of this class allows for one on one guidance on writing assignments.” Lissette Decos
“Harriette is a fount of knowledge about the film industry. She connects well with the students and maintains a relationship afterwards. Great classes!” Bill Butland
The MIAMI Institute for Age Management & Intervention (www.MIAMI-Institute.com) hosted a special evening in honor of acclaimed plastic surgeon, Dr. Phillip Craft. The MIAMI Institute welcomed Dr. Craft to the dynamic surgical team, on Wednesday, February 23rd, with an elegant cocktail soiree. To celebrate the newest addition, guests were greeted with the beautiful melodies of a harp and cello player from the Miami Symphony Orchestra as The MIAMI Institute opened its doors to the luxurious 9,000 square-foot facility for cocktails and hors d’oeuvres provided by Gourmand At Home.
Guests mingled while enjoying the libations and delicious hors d’oeuvres as they received an insider’s look at the spectacular facility and met with Miami’s “Dream Team†of anti-aging specialists. “Dr. Craft brings a new element to our leading-edge medical team,†says Julio F. Gallo, MD FACS, Medical Director of The MIAMI Institute. “His unique surgical skills and outstanding reputation in the industry makes Dr. Craft a most welcome addition to our team of physicians,†says Dr. Gallo.
New Cutting-Edge Procedures Now Available at The MIAMI Institute:
Stem-Cell Rejuvenation
The MIAMI Institute adds a Stem Cell practice to their roster of anti-aging technology – a process whereby the hidden genetic potential of adult stem cells is awakened – to enhance face lift and buttock lift procedures. By transplanting carefully harvested autologous fat, any potential for an allergic reaction is eliminated. These specific “Stem Cell Growth Factors†induce the skin and fatty layers to produce more of their own cells. The Factors stimulate or initiate “a signal†to both the local stem cells within the skin and fat as well as the transplanted adult stem cells from the lower abdomen to multiply and restore themselves.
NeoGraft TM Hair Restoration
The MIAMI Institute introduces the state-of-the-art solution for hair loss and the first minimally invasive FDA approved automated hair transplant system. NeoGraft TM is a revolutionary, patented hair transplant device that automates hair transplant procedures. Down time is minimal as each follicular unit graft is individually extracted from the donor area and is then transplanted to thin or bald areas.
ABOUT THE MIAMI INSTITUTE
Located in the prestigious Four Seasons® Hotel and Tower and led by internationally regarded facial plastic surgeon Dr. Julio F. Gallo, The MIAMI Institute is a surgical center and medical spa providing progressive medicine, advanced technology, and encompassing treatments that reverse the effects of aging. The Institute’s skilled staff of surgeons, dentists, internists, medical technicians, nutritionists and health education specialists is dedicated to providing patients with tailored services – including cosmetic surgery, age management therapies, aesthetics treatments, cosmetic dentistry services and wellness counseling – that help them look and feel their best as they grow older.

Starting on Friday, March 25th through Monday, March 28th, 2011, arteaméricas will showcase the latest trends in paintings, sculpture and multimedia from contemporary artists as well as renowned masters at the Miami Beach Convention Center.
“arteaméricas has been the most respected Latin American art fair since it’s inception. We’re proud of this distinction, and for that reason, we raise our standards every year, create innovative projects and recruit the best galleries out there,†says Leslie PantÃn, President of arteaméricas.
The best galleries from all over Latin America, the United States, the Caribbean, Canada and Europe will be participating. The four-day arteaméricas event will feature works by internationally recognized artists and sculptors. Likewise, vanguard contemporary artists will be on hand in order to exhibit their works as the latest in Latin American modern art.
arteaméricas will be a place where art collectors and art professionals alike will gather among the present trends in paintings, sculptures, and conceptual art multimedia that distinguish the region’s art. In 2011, the fair will have close to fifty galleries taking up more than 80 spaces and showcasing more than 300 artists. The artists represented by the galleries hail from every country in the Americas and Spain. This year, the fair organizers are developing a special tribute to Mexico.
“For 2011, we envision better sales for our galleries,†stated Emilio Calleja, Vice President of the fair. “The economy is improving; the art from Latin American is getting more exposure and a gaining higher value. Our primary goal is to ensure that our galleries are satisfied with the outcome of their participation.â€
As in past years, arteaméricas has set up a Selection Committee, consisting of Julia Herzberg, an internationally renowned curator from New York; Angel Felix, Director of the Cultural Program of the Interamerican Development Bank; and Leonor Amarante, an acknowledged curator and critic from Brazil. Carol Damian, Director of the Frost Museum, has been in the committee since the fair’s first year and is a member once again. All four carefully evaluate every gallery and their artists, in order to continue to raise the quality of the fair.
Conceived and organized by Dr. Herzberg, arteaméricas 2011 will bring back Art Talks, a series of four discussion tables aimed at furthering the understanding of the visual arts, biennial productions and collecting practices. The panels are structured to promote reflection and critical analysis of issues relevant to biennial directors, curators and artists, as well as the formation of private and public collections. Topics will include: Contemporary Art Scene; Biennials; Private Collectors and Public Collections; and Diverse Artistic Voices.
Art Talks 2011 will take place in the newly-created Salón arteaméricas. This area will have theater-type seating where lectures will also be presented to the fair’s attendees. Lecturers will include Carol Damian and Ricardo Pau-Llosa, among others. Salón arteaméricas will also be showing video art throughout the fair’s four day run, in addition to book presentations.
In 2011, arteaméricas will introduce its NewArt section, featuring an exhibition by the Miami Art Museum. This special project will highlight works of new and upcoming artists in the Latin American art scene. In addition, the fair is organizing a curated space that will depict the violence in Central America through the eyes of artists, as well as a curated space specially created for Cuban art.

Gallery Diet
Two 2011 Inkjet print 20″ x 30″
Gallery Diet is pleased to present Samantha Salzinger’s second solo exhibition at Diet. These works explore the fabricated environment questioning the collective mind of the age, where reality is as malleable as a simulation and a simulation as lifelike as reality. Projecting mysterious places in an era of genesis, the images reference ideologies of popular culture that play to our fantasies, fears, and deires. The metaphoric creation of the idyllic, sublime landscape, act as core unconscious escapism. Weaving together the awe of the grandeur of nature with science fiction, the viewer is dreamer in an imaginary world, optimistic of the future.
Samantha Salzinger graduated with an MFA in photography from Yale University and is a two time winner of the South Florida Cultural Consortium Grant. She has exhibited prolifically throughout South Florida at venues that include Gallery Diet, Locust Projects, The Museum of Art Ft. Lauderdale, and The Girls Club, the private collectin of Francie Bishop Good and David Horovitz where she is part of the permanent collection.
This exhibition will run thru April 2nd, 2011
Regular gallery hours are Tuesday thru Saturday 11 am – 5 pm
