This Art Basel, Aleloop will exhibit in the Multiversal Group Show at Awarehouse, specifically in their Feminality Art Show celebrating strong women. About 100 pop surreal artists will test their creative skills on a blank toy and eventually the toys will travel on a Custom Wizy Show Tour. According to…
At Cafeina, Primary Flight will help CPOP Gallery transform the usually swanky garden into a warped big-top circus featuring common products, brands, and games redesigned by Tristan Eaton and Trusto Corp, a mysterious street art collective “dedicated to highlighting the hypocrisy and hilarity of human behavior through sarcasm and satire.”…
Perhaps the smallest art fair on the planet, this runty sibling to Basel is no amateur hour. Expect to find stocking-stuffer works by the Magic City’s crackerjack talent and at bargain-basement prices. Littlest Sister, the self-proclaimed “baby sibling” to Art Basel Miami Beach, is also the only fair housed in…
Think roots in the city and the image of some huge-ass weed growing out of a crack in the sidewalk probably comes to mind. Think Roots in the City Farmers Market and the image of wholesome, locally grown food made available to folks not born with an American Express Centurion…
Party like an A-lister at The Betsy Hotel’s B Bar, when the uber-swanky watering hole with its black vinyl ceiling and hand-cut Parisian crystal lamps plays host to the Debbie Orta Quintet, one of the local jazz scene’s most acclaimed and accomplished groups. The music starts at 8:30 p.m. and…
The Heat Haters have had their Christmas come early this year with all the drama and turmoil slamming the Miami Heat the last few weeks. They’ve stumbled out of the gate, lost their heart and soul player Udonis Haslem for most of the year, and are losing games to the…
Broadway takes itself way too seriously with all those pompous celebrities and Tony award-winning screenwriters and tear-jerking performances. It was only a matter of time before someone went Not Another Teen Movie on the sacrosanct institution and created a spoof. We’re grateful that hits such as In the Heights and…
For artist Jonathan Meese, there are no sacred cows, just the battle between good and evil. In his multifarious practice, which includes drawing, painting, performances, installations, set designs, traditional sculpture, and film, the wildly eclectic German artist remains ferociously committed to the dueling forces populating his head. But his complex…
Miami isn’t exactly known as a farmer’s market stronghold. Most of the open air markets that exist are questionable at best. You can never really be certain whether the food you buy is edible, much less organic. But they do things with a bit more class in Pinecrest. And the…
Nothing says the holidays like a performance from a tatted up rapper the size of Mr. T. Flo Rida’s intimidating 6’2”, 215-pound frame does not always reflect his music however. He manages to take his hard-knock, Coral City roots and fuse them with the likes of David Guetta, Ke$ha, and…
An art walk after Art Basel is like being offering a KFC Double Down sandwich after Thanksgiving. We get it – you’re art-full. But we’re guessing you spent most last week traipsing around art fairs showing international artists. It’s time to support the local scene once again. In conjunction with…
Saturday, Gold Coast Skating Rink will be full of hot, female bodies tackling each other on roller skates. The sport of roller derby is a fast, dangerous one: When the scoring player laps members of the opposing team, points get awarded, so from both ends, lots of blocking and tackling…
Margaret Cho is like the Charlie Brown of comedy. Despite talent and a loyal cult following, nothing ever seems to go her way. She had a badass stand-up routine in the early ’90s, which involved Cho wearing an ill-fitting leather cat suit while impersonating her uptight Korean mother unknowingly inhaling…
Not only are the French one-of-a-kind eccentrics, but they also have Americans completely beat when it comes to food fights. No, not those infantile shenanigans in your elementary school cafeteria. We mean those infantile reality competition shows on the Food Network. While shows like Hell’s Kitchen and Next Food Network…
When you think of an orchestra, you think of penguin suits and maybe even Centrum Silver. Well, how about an orchestra that you can bang your head to? The Trans-Siberian Orchestra has “the theatrical appeal of the Phantom of the Opera and the rock opera storytelling of The Who’s Tommy.”…
Imagine a late-night bonfire on the beach, everyone drunk on anarchy, and folks start burning cars and overturning trash cans as they howl. Now record that scene onto vinyl and you’d have King Corpse, the latest seven-inch from Miami garage psych band Lil Daggers. The music is lo-fi and dark,…
Comedian Louis C.K.’s decades of scrapping by in stand-up comedy have paid off in spades. Not only is his FX series Louie a critical darling, which just got picked up for a second season, but his stand-up career is reaching George Carlin-like proportions. Dedicated to developing a new set every…
Sometimes you have to die to be reborn. Carlos Eire’s first lesson when adjusting to life in America was to bury his past. His new book Learning to Die in Miami chronicles his coming of age in the ’60s, when he was a Cuban immigrant in South Florida far from…
This Thursday, nearly 15,000 people will queue up outside the Miami-Dade Main Library. What’s with this sudden surge in literacy? After all, Miami was recently ranked the ninth dumbest city in America – an honor partially based on our city’s fledging book sales. Yet every year, the 305’s voracious readers…
Boxing is the ultimate solo sport. Once the bell rings, your trainer, corner man, even the bloodthirsty crowd slowly fade away until you are left completely alone, under the searing spotlight, facing a singular opponent. The required naked ambition, simplicity, and, of course, brutality once made it the most popular…
He’s making a list and checking it twice to see if you made rezzies for the Christmas Eve blowout at The Water Club in North Miami Beach. The sprawling waterfront eatery and club, with local top toque Andrea Curto-Randazzo at the stoves, is inviting you to be naughty or nice…
It’s not too early to snag one of 300 tickets to the sixth annual Taste of the Garden, an outdoor food-fest featuring 20 of SoFla’s best restaurants with wines to match, all to benefit the Miami Beach Botanical Garden. In addition to eating and drinking there’s a silent auction offering…
