Photo of Paz de la Huerta by Bunny Yeager. Bunny Yeager is a South Florida icon, and also a pioneer in a way many wouldn’t recognize. While she may be best known as the hand behind some of the most famous “pin-up” photographs from the 1950s and ’60s, most famously Bettie Page, the fact that […]

Jillian Mayer “Precipice/Post Modem” at Locust Projects. Summertime has always been about reading. When life slows down and vacation times come around – and down here in South Florida the heat is on, time to stay in and pick up a book. A real book, maybe one about art. In a super cool way to […]

The basis for the exhibition “Dirt.” An intriguing group show with an interesting combination of artists will open up for tomorrow’s Second Saturday in a temporary space in the Design District, called “Dirt Yuta Suelo Udongo Te.” It’s curated by Onajide Shabaka, who has been working with a variety of materials and subject matter for […]

Carola Bravo at the newly opened The Screening Room. Video as an art form has come a long way. Although artists started seriously working with the medium at least a half century ago (some will pinpoint Nam June Paik’s German exhibition in 1963 as its official arrival on the scene), it remained somewhat the stepchild, […]

Replica of a Spanish galleon. Take a break from contemporary art and head to the Freedom Tower downtown for a fascinating historical exhibit, “Imagining La Florida.” But don’t expect at lot of gimmicky accoutrements, or even much in the way archeological items – this is the story of the early years of Spain in the […]

“Disorientalism: Ready Mix” at the Girls’ Club. Food is the universal connection among all species – we all need some form of it to live. But food and meals are also some of the most profoundly defining elements to society – what we eat, how we make it. Which is why it is also a […]

A snapshot of Latino life in the U.S., at the CCEMiami. CCEMiami (Centro Cultural Español en Miami), the Spanish cultural arm here, too often falls of the radar when it comes to the arts. Since moving into the bustling downtown area on Biscayne Boulevard (from its sometimes forbidding building in the Gables), it may be […]

At the studio of Karen Starosta-Gilinski. The Fountainhead Residency program is one of the better incubators for Miami’s art scene, with about six artists from all over the world coming to work in a house in Morningside for several-month stints. But there is also the Fountainhead Studios, also spearheaded by Kathryn and Dan Mikesell, which […]

Justin H. Long at Emerson Dorsch Gallery. In many parts of the culture world, summer has set in – the number of performances, concerts and dances have dwindled to a trickle, most groups have moved on to plotting their fall seasons. But in the visual arts world, it may as well still be peak time. […]

Kerry Phillips sculpture (foreground) with Karen Rifas drawings. Karen Rifas and Kerry Phillips have more in common than the first letter of their first names, although at first it might not seem so. Rifas’s work should be familiar to many – in particular her linear, site-specific installations that involve optical illusion and delicate interventions. Her […]

Carol K. Brown at Nohra Haime booth, Pulse New York. The Frieze New York Art Fair returns to Manhattan for a second year, after the wildly successful introduction of the London-based fair last year on Randall’s Island. More than 180 galleries from across the globe will be set up in the inviting island park, joined […]
