Wynwood Walls to Pay Tribute to Tony Goldman During Art Basel

Wynwood Walls, the fascinating “outdoor museum” imagined into reality by the late Tony Goldman, will honor the visionary with its Art Basel program this year, entitled “Come and Dream.” A host of new elements, including a new exhibition of works, the debut of an augmented reality application, and a new…

Universal Romance

Soulmates? Here in Miami, a city not exactly known for its monogamous ways, we have our doubts. The idea that two people can be made for each other — complementing each others’ souls, completing each others’ beings and so on — sounds to most South Floridians like some sugary, naïve,…

Marching Orders

They say white men can’t jump, and soon they might also amend that statement to say white men can’t play Tower of Power hits in drum lines at football halftime shows either. That talent should be reserved for the extraordinary musicians redefining marching bands across America’s HBCUs — historically black…

Think Positive

For Miamians, agonizing over our love/hate relationship with the Miami Dolphins each year is a time-honored tradition. But despite our best attempts at cynicism, we might just end up eating our words. Luckily, victory is sweet, so they’re pretty tasty. With any luck, our mammalian friends might actually have a…

Welcome to the Future

Get a one-night-only glimpse of your miserable future in Ghosts With Shit Jobs. A sci-fi mockumentary made for only $4,000, the film is structured as a Chinese television program from the year 2040, when the “ghosts” of a collapsed America do the shit jobs Chinese people refuse to do. Allow…

Books and Books and More Books

Contrary to popular belief, Miami is an incredibly literary city. We have University of Wynwood bringing poets to town year-round. We have Books & Books, an indie bookstore with near-daily author events. And we have the annual Miami Book Fair International at Miami Dade College (NE Fourth Street at NE…

Raw Talent

The RAWards is no Miss Congeniality contest. There’s no room for shallow, superficial girls and boys here. It’s all about Miami’s best untapped talent in film, photography, and hairstyling — talent that’s about to get its due. At this Thursday’s RAWards semifinal showcase, sponsored by the arts organization RAW: Natural…

Briefly Being Bond

He’s handsome and suave, in a rugged, don’t-mess-with-me way. He’s handy with gadgets and guns. He has a way with the ladies and enjoys a strong drink with maximum agitation. Even with a brain-numbingly boring name like James Bond, Ian Fleming’s fictional British secret agent was the most interesting man…

Get Lucky

Smash a mirror. Step on a crack. Walk beneath a ladder and lure a stray black cat to cross your path. Don’t knock wood, cross your fingers, or toss a single grain of salt over your shoulder. Go ahead, jinx yourself as many ways as you can imagine. Then head…

Not so Nice

If there’s anything to be learned from Comedy Central Roast specials, it’s that celebrities are easy targets — and that Lisa Lampanelli is a very, very mean lady. Her hard-hitting humor stabs so deep that it doesn’t elicit laughter, just wide-mouthed gasps. Lampanelli has so perfected her craft that she’s…

See the Light

Miami is a city that’s all about light. Sunlight, neon light, black light. So who better to pay homage to the power of this almighty glow than our native talent? The Art of Illumination honors the almighty luminescence this Saturday with a series of LED installations created by local artists…
