Last Saturday night the migratory patterns of the American art world were temporarily inverted

Jerry Bruckheimer may be the most Miami-obsessed TV producer since Susan Harris — the creator Golden Girls, Nurses, and Empty Nest, the trio of 80’s Magic City set sitcoms. The uber-producer already brings us CSI: Miami every week, for better or worst and is co-producing Rakontur’s upcoming HBO adaption of…

I have always been a fan of minimalist anything (it takes up less space in my already tiny heart — haha, bad joke!), so that’s why I’m excited Mr. Richard Tuttle will be stopping by MAM on March 15th at 3pm. He’ll being doing so to open up an exhibition…

As you’ve probably heard Robin Williams was admitted to a South Florida hospital, and is recovering from a respiratory problem. He also canceled a two-night gig at the Seminole Hard Rock. Here’s a vintage clip from Williams on Letterman. …

Peggy Levison Nolan’s path from the projects to her first solo show at an art gallery went something like this: marriage, seven kids, dreams of becoming a photographer, shoplifting a lot of film. From there, the Miami local taught herself to shoot and print pictures, stole more film, moved out…

Hello, Kitty: Please don’t tell anyone who sent you this letter, but I have a real important question and I don’t know who else to ask. I’m in a relationship with a girl, but I’m hiding an STD and I don’t know what to do. I contracted herpes from an…

If you consider yourself a class act, today’s the day to show the world. Adopt-A-Classroom is celebrating their 10-Year Anniversary this Saturday March 7th at 830pm, at 4141 NE 2nd Avenue in Miami’s Design District sponsored by PLUMTV, Jones New York, Office Max and a host of other sticklers for…

If you only go to one sketch and improv 10th Anniversary show this year, make it this one. In the long tradition of comedy shows over-hyped with purple sentence after purple sentence culminated by fence post-lines of exclamation points, Just the Funny’s 10th Anniversary Blowout Weekend stands apart!!!!!! (Because it…

In the land of humorless vanity, the man with at least one joke is King, and that man happens to be Daniel Reskin, brother of Sweat Records owner Lolo Reskin and host of a monthly showcase of Miami comedic talent called Casa de Ha-Ha. Fans of stand-up know that all…

Remember that time Lawrence Olivier sharted in his tunic between Acts II and III of the Royal Shakespeare Company’s 1968 performance of “Julius Caesar”? Christopher Plummer does. He remembers all kinds of yarns, which he has collected in a jolly good heave-ho of sentences he has titled, In Spite of…

It might not be what Warhol promised, but North Miami’s Museum of Contemporary Art is offering a chance for creative types to shine. The museum’s moon-over-Miami “Five Minutes of Fame Artists’ Forum” is an open-mike night for local visual artists invited to present and discuss their work in a PowerPoint…

There’s nothing more addictive than the rush of being aboard a world-class racing vessel heeled over at high speed. For true sailing freaks, it’s the kind of buzz that’s categorically better than sex. Sadly, though, big-time boating costs more than a ten-pound bag of natural black pearls. So if you…

Bui My Hahn rallies in Vietnam against the misconception that HIV/AIDS is the fault of those stricken; Jacqueline Dembele defends the right of migrant girls in Mali to an education; and in the war-ravaged country of Bosnia, Nada Markovic rebuilds relations between Serbs and Bosnians. The stories of these badass…

If you lived in Montana, you might own a tractor, and if you were a proud Alaskan, you’d probably have a snowmobile in your arsenal of vehicles. So why do you, Miamian, not own a boat? Whether boarding a yacht for afternoons on Biscayne Bay or paddling a canoe for…

If there’s a higher purpose of this nouveau depression, perhaps it’s to inspire us to appreciate the simple pleasures. If so, this Sunday distract yourself from your money woes by frolicking along a beach with a colorful, streaming kite soaring above you in the salty ocean air. And you can…

It’s been a brutal stretch for the Florida Panthers these last couple of weeks. Dates with the Bruins, Rangers, Devils, Caps, and Penguins have tested the mettle of this team and its playoff hopes. The trade deadline is finally behind us, so we can focus on the rest of the…

Few celebs can brag they’ve hit rock bottom like Britney Spears. Her oh-so public breakdowns included a scalping, drunken matrimony, and an assault with an umbrella. We don’t think that car was really screaming, “Hit me, baby, one more time,” Brit. Yeah, her antics were better suited to some rock…

If bleeding-edge performances quaff your thirst for adventure, the Miami Light Project is poised with a potent brew to scald daring taste buds. The Light’s Here & Now 2009 fest offers some of the 305’s sizzling talent in three distinct commissioned shows delivering the sugar lumps with aplomb. “Sipping Fury…

All-American designer and reality-show divo Michael Kors will be there. Multiplatinum recording artist Seal and the Grammy Award-winning Pointer Sisters will perform. And Academy Award winner Tommy Lee Jones and his wife Dawn Jones are honorary co-chairs for the event. The glitterati will be out, so strap on those stilettos…

You could hate Andrew “Dice” Clay for being one of the most controversial figures of the ’80s, or you could sit front row at the Miami Improv (3390 Mary St., Coconut Grove) this Saturday night at 8 and give him a chance to redeem himself. Dip your French fries into…
