Art Basel is almost upon us. However, if you think the art hubbub stays contained to the Miami Beach Convention Center, you couldn’t be more wrong. In addition to the prestigious Swiss import, Miami and Miami Beach will host over 20 satellite fairs including stalwart like Art Miami, Design Miami,…
It’s a rare night at Sidebar in Miami. Normally hosting some of the city’s most notorious turnups, tonight the spacious music venue plays host to the Magia Zine Fair, along with its weekly Ice Cream Thursday party.
Most of soft-spoken photographer Lazaro Rodriguez’s close friends don’t know his story of growing up in Hialeah. He was raised by his grandparents because his parents were incarcerated throughout most of his childhood. He says that although they were “kind of poor,” his relatives always stepped in to make sure he never noticed.
Drive by the Wolfsonian on Washington Avenue in South Beach, and you’ll see something unusual. The typically plain, sleek façade of the Mediterranean-revival-style building is covered with colorful patterns that are nearly psychedelic but ordered with geometries, representative of Dutch artist Christie van der Haak’s signature tapestry and batik-style work…
Wynwood is undoubtedly the stoner capital of Miami. Don’t even argue the point. If every neighborhood in the city were to walk into a gas station, Wynwood would be the one loading up on snacks and giggling to itself. Wynwood has a young and hip vibe, is populated with small…
Thursday There is something about the aroma of a freshly roasted turkey smothered in warm, creamy gravy that screams “Hooray! The holidays are here!” But when you consider the hundreds of dollars, days of preparation, and long hours slaving away over a hot stove to give you those warm Turkey…
When last we saw Howard Hughes onscreen, Leonardo DiCaprio was repeating “the way of the future” ad infinitum as he gazed into the mirror. Warren Beatty’s long-in-the-making Rules Don’t Apply isn’t nearly as concerned with the future as Martin Scorsese’s The Aviator was, looking instead to the past and all…
Every year, New Times’ MasterMind Awards reward Miami’s best creative talent with cash grants and citywide exposure. Once again, we’re preparing to show three creatives some spendable and shareable love by announcing the winners at our annual shindig, Artopia.
Frank Chinea’s art is a haunting and evocative rendition of the inner experience. Dark shadows and deep colors fill the canvas, depicting a stormy scene as a window to the subconscious. With contorted and thick brushstrokes, his work appears muddled as if blanketed in fog, but the characters and themes remain clear and defined…
As Allied opens, Brad Pitt parachutes so gently and quietly onto a stretch of Moroccan desert that at first you think he might be dead. And maybe he sort of is — maybe he has to be. Pitt’s Max Vatan is a pinched, terse figure in the first act of…
Want to see the best art in town for Basel this year? Get ready to log some miles. Local galleries are bringing their A-game for Miami Art Week, and now that most of them have been priced out of Wynwood, you’ll have to do some traveling if you want to hit all the top spots.
Oh man, are we in a backlash on liberal, PC culture right now. I mean, if you can call electing the KKK’s and Nazi party’s greatest white hope to the highest office in the world a backlash. I can’t even count how many people — strangers, family, trolls — have…
Maybe it was the agitated, election-induced state of mind I was in when I saw it, but Disney’s Moana feels like a movie about how easy it can be to give up, and how important it is not to. It’s funny, joyful, and sweet, and yet down below, running beneath…
Courtney Love is a feminist icon. Courtney Love is a bitch. She’s a powerful force of raw emotion, or an evil nymph who slept her way to fame. She’s a mournful widow thrust in the harsh spotlight of shame and accusation, a frazzled single mother struggling to raise a girl-child…
Nancy Buirski’s By Sidney Lumet opens with the late filmmaker reflecting on his witnessing, as a young man, the rape of an underage girl by a group of soldiers on a train. Lumet was permanently haunted by the incident; what’s left unclear, until the end of the movie, is whether…
Happy Monday, Miami. This week brings plenty of events, and the best part is they all cost less than $10. From an intimate performance by the Magic City Hippies at Mina’s Mediterraneo to Taps & Tunes and Pilates at the Wynwood Yard, grab a few bucks and enjoy Miami. Alexis Gideon and Huffer…
There’s hardly a worthwhile production hitting a local stage that doesn’t have the talents of Ann Marie Olson at hand. A music theater graduate from New World School of the Arts, Olson is a Carbonell Award winner and two-time nominee. Miami New Times’ sister paper New Times Broward/Palm Beach named her Best Actress of 2015, she was a recipient of a Silver Palm Award for Outstanding Contribution to South Florida Theater, and she has a voice described as “golden” by numerous critics of the stage.
During the second presidential debate, in early October, Donald Trump called Hillary Clinton “a fighter.” He said, “She doesn’t quit. She doesn’t give up.” While that’s very much true, the same can be said of Bernie Sanders, who’s endured quite a few blows, many of them from his own party.
The most festive way to burn off the few thousand calories you’ll pack down Thanksgiving Day is, of course, Black Friday shopping. Though it might not be as effective as a military-style workout, it’s just as intimidating and, depending upon whom you ask, even more serious. Shopping centers across Miami-Dade…
As Art Basel week approaches, Miami’s museums are gearing up for their most ambitious exhibits and programs of the year. Don’t let the tents, the parties, and the traffic distract you from the work on view at the institutions that serve culture in the Magic City year-round. Here’s your guide to Miami’s museum programming during Miami Art Week.
“I saw the dance as a vision of ineffable power,” dancer and choreographer Jose Limon explained before his death in 1972, “dance as Michelangelo’s visions dance and as the music of Bach dances.” The late dance pioneer’s vision still endures in the company he founded, now in its 70th year — a tribute to the man and the artist and those who believe in his gifts.
Pioneer Winter is not your average choreographer. The 28-year-old native Miamian has a master’s degree in public health and epidemiology, along with a master of fine arts in choreography. He combines his two fields of interest to create avant-garde, socially conscious, and experimental work.
