The residents of Mount Olympus haven’t gotten a good night’s sleep since Kratos moved in. Not only is the new god of war a grumpy, self-professed god-hater, he got the throne by killing Ares, something that naturally makes the other gods a little . . . jumpy. It’s not long…

The Mets would have won the World Series last year were it not for a major meltdown in St. Louis. And they may wind up snagging it this year, if their decrepit pitching staff holds up through October. Of course, the young Marlins (young enough, even, to call them “the…
You can’t escape death or taxes, but at least one of those distinctly depressing prospects will taste a little sweeter today. To delight the beaten masses who must fork over their finances to the IRS by today’s deadline, the good scoopers over at Ben & Jerry’s are hosting the 29th…
By this week, the Miami Heat should have a decision on the return of the reigning NBA Finals MVP, Dwyane Wade, for the playoffs. But even without their franchise player, Shaq and Co. have played some great team basketball over the past month and a half. The Boston Celtics, on…
“Miami” Mike Hiscano saves what others throw away. The ephemeral trinkets that people regularly abandon — monogrammed china, postcards, rinky-dink souvenirs from tourist attractions — these are Hiscano’s prized treasures. These are the artifacts that you’ll never find in a fancy museum. “Big, formal museums have benefactors and are curated…

Night after night, they fight it out in the war over your hard-earned dollars, but today and tomorrow, April 15, the sexiest servers from some of South Beach’s most popular clubs, restaurants, bars, and hotels will be fighting a different kind of battle. This weekend is the third annual Beach…
You’ve been breathing for years, routinely inhaling and exhaling like there’s no tomorrow. And you think that you’re doing it right, but sometimes your efforts end up coming out as a gasp or a pant — maybe because of too much puff, puff, pass. So today the people at True…

Although best known for his Buddha Bar compilations, Arno Elias also has a painting pedigree. The artist makes his U.S. debut at the 2300 Studio Gallery as part of tonight’s Wynwood arts crawl, beginning at 7:00.

Back in the Teens, the European Dadaist movement rejected logic, reason, and aesthetics as bourgeois, war-mongering concepts. Dada meant freedom from repressive norms, and the embrace of anarchy.

If you’ve never heard of PostSecret, you’re either an internet idiot, or you’ve been hiding in a cave for the past four years. Frank Warren’s community art project began innocuously enough — in 2004, he handed out blank postcards in the hopes that people would anonymously mail him their secrets…

During the late Nineties, identity clip artist Nikki S. Lee earned herself a spot on the art world’s most wanted list with snapshots in which she flimflammed her way into other people’s lives.
