Most of the time we know what the right thing to do is, however, having this knowledge does not exactly mean that we will always do so. We know that we should not do to others what we would not like done to us, we know that we should be kind, we know that we should support each other, these are all ... +

Pablo Contrisciani’s last exhibition entitled “Synthesis” was on display at the Arch Gallery in Miami this past month. “Synthesis” was comprised of a variety of pieces from a series of works that the artist had originally entitled “Energies”, however, after he started working on the exhibition, the name “Synthesis” was developed to more aptly describe a body of work that Contrisciani believes ... +

Calix Gustav Gallery is that hot new space that might have caught your eye on gallery night located right across the street from the Rubell Family Collection. Director Amanda Fernandez-Leon opened the gallery doors last October of 2009 and has since then implemented an aesthetic for the space that is very much her own. With a BA in Art History and natural ... +

I have always been puzzled by the thought of “stage fright”: isn’t the very idea of a stage one that offers a platform of relative anonymity?

Churchill’s. Monday nights. Jazz. There’s nothing in Miami that comes close to it. Then again, almost any night at Churchill’s stands out from anything else that goes on, musically and crowd-wise, in this town. But the Jazz Jam has become a staple on the scene for years now, a time and place where young and old, musicians and aficionados come together to ... +

For something quite minimal, albeit sprawling and undoubtedly time consuming, Leyden Rodriguez-Casanova’s An Uneven Floor exhibition at Locust Projects evokes many possible reads. All the implications the work holds may not be immediately detectable. To many it may feel, in part due to the color of the carpet that inundates the floor of the entire 2700 square foot space, like kitsch run ... +

From Mar 26th through 29th, 2010. When the recession started, it took down virtually every part of the economy: housing, jobs, credit – you name it. And it hit “luxuries” such as the arts especially hard. Fundraising became a nightmare and artists scrambled to find patrons. But as the economy continues its slow climb upward, the arts reflect that reality, too. Exhibitions ... +

Like many artists who ply their trade in studios, warehouses, and garages around the world, David Zalben says it’s not about the money. It’s about connecting with people. “Every day I’m here is an opportunity to meet somebody new. It’s not just about making a sale.” And if Zalben were a solitary artist, in a lonely studio, in some godforsaken part of ... +
