MIami Art Guide RRS Feed http://www.madridartguide.com Thu, 04 Dec 2008 10:23:12 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.madridartguide.com/design/exhibitions/art-and-design-in-the-modern-age.html Wolfsonian Museum. Ongoing. The Wolfsonian Museum at FIU holds and incredible collection of design. Think Miami and think Design. However, many of the museum’s holdings precede our era of magnificent condos by the bay and aseptic contemporary interiors. The exhibition holds nearly 300 objects from the museum’s collection, covering a period from 1885 to 1945. The boundaries between art and design have never been clearly defined. Today, artists, designers, architects and publicists keep interacting and crossing over as if Design was always there. But there was a time when Design was more than an Italian Sofa.

The paintings, constructions and drawings by Pedro Vizcaino deepen and diversify his unique approach to images, which are at once evocative of innocence and violence. A spontaneous approach to technique-inspired by graffiti and the drawings of children-exults in the paradoxes implicit in images of tanks, cell phones, toy guns, shoes and other images long associated with Vizcaino's work. Cardboard and molded packing materials used to protect fragile items-eggs, bottles-contribute to Vizcaino's furiously urban, highly charged yet lyrical visual concert of forms in radical motion and transformation.

April 8th, 2008.The Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County announced today the launch of Jazz Roots, a comprehensive concert series produced by the Center with award-winning record/television producer/entrepreneur Larry Rosen, to premiere during the 2008-2009 season. The six-part monthly jazz series traces the history of jazz - and its varied styles - through the path of the drum from West Africa to the Americas, a journey that shaped the musical DNA for much of today’s popular music.

However, Miami has it all: The Metrorail, the Metromover, bus-lines traces. It all make sense, or maybe it doesn’t - thinking on how many people I know that actually make use of public transportation in Miami. Except for my landlord, that doesn’t have a car and has been forbidden to drive by his doctor, I cannot think on anybody else. I came across the Miami Metrorail, after being commissioned to write about the art that is located at its several stations. How obvious can I get? Anyways, I recurred to modern magic and Googled for information on the Metrorail, on how it works, where it goes, and from where to where. Here is what I found: Articulos - Artes Visuales Sat, 15 Mar 2008 17:00:00 +0100 http://www.madridartguide.com/articles/artists/guerra-de-la-paz.html The artists Alain Guerra and Neraldo de la Paz, known as Guerra de la Paz, have been working as a collaborative unit since 1996. They reside and work in Miami, using the city as a launch pad for a life in art that has an ambitious scope above and beyond the local art milieu. Self-described “outsiders”, they make work scavenged from the material facts of this city. They are married to Miami in this sense, enjoying an intimate relationship of give and take with its jetsam and flotsam, harvesting its refuse, transforming its castoffs into work that is powerful and lyrical, formally challenging and deeply felt.

That setting happens to be the perfect place to delve even more deeply into the world of interiors, through the large paintings hanging on those walls from one of the most talented painters in town, Jordan Massengale.

In New York, the Quad Cinema is the movie house for those with a taste for the unique. On Miami Beach, there is a theater dedicated to showing non-commercial movies and much more: the Miami Beach Cinematheque on South Beach. And it’s due to the determination and vision of one man: Dana Keith, the founder and director of the Cinematheque.

The body of a young man appears floating in the waters of the ocean. Is he still alive? His eyes are open, but his face looks pale as if he were almost entering the kingdom of death. Two men peacefully rest on the grass under the sunset. A couple of boys stare at a volcanic eruption while pushing a boat into the sea. Hernan Bas is a dreamer, a collector of stories, a prolific traveler. His works rescue the romantic and impressionist legacies in a very captivating way.

Creating the imaginary city of Picturopolis was the le motif for these artists to collaborate in a harmonic visual interaction.

It’s very difficult to drive on North East 2nd Street because construction workers have designed a new roadway for people to go through. Cars take other routes to make their trip easier.

With an eclectic mix of contemporary artists the Butter Gallery, located at 3135 Commodore Plaza in Coconut Grove, officially opened its doors in August, 2007 in what is seen by many locals as a rebirth of the area as a place for the arts and entertainment. Master painters and emerging artists alike fill the gallery space with a variety of styles as wide as their age ranges. Cuban artist Francisco De La Torre III, 67, a student of the late Rolando Lopez Dirube has a long history of exhibitions, while the American Dylan Terry, 21, makes his gallery debut.
