The endless commission meetings. The begging for money. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/arts/visual-arts/story/1296948.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/arts/visual-arts/story/1296948.html Sun, 25 Oct 2009 01:00 EDT Sex. Payback. Success. Tracey Emin's video Why I Never Became a Dancer packs in all those elements and more, a disarming work that begins with shocking revelations of how the British artist used sex as a distraction when she was 13 and 14 and living in the seaside resort town of Margate. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/arts/visual-arts/story/1286137.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/arts/visual-arts/story/1286137.html Sun, 18 Oct 2009 01:00 EDT Prodded by a photographer seeking to frame a portrait of him, Guillermo Kuitca finds himself boxed in the middle of one of his installations at the Miami Art Museum. He's closed in by 20 gray mattresses perilously propped on tiny white-wood legs. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/arts/visual-arts/story/1286141.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/arts/visual-arts/story/1286141.html Sun, 18 Oct 2009 01:00 EDT No that the new, live-action adaptation of Maurice Sendak's durable children's classic Where the Wild Things Are has opened in movie theaters nationwide, it seemed a fine moment to drop in at the Rosenbach Museum. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/arts/visual-arts/story/1285300.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/arts/visual-arts/story/1285300.html Sat, 17 Oct 2009 01:00 EDT Amid the stacks of books and the students on the computers, amid the hushed buzz of learning at the Miami-Dade Main Library, four mannequins varnished in red form a provocative exhibit about domestic violence. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/arts/visual-arts/story/1274616.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/arts/visual-arts/story/1274616.html Sun, 11 Oct 2009 01:00 EDT Art doesn't just happen, but in the right environment, creativity can blossom in many forms -- painting, sculpture, photography, video, light, words, food, sound, dance and other performance. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/arts/visual-arts/story/1274607.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/arts/visual-arts/story/1274607.html Sun, 11 Oct 2009 01:00 EDT It's early yet, but Miami art dealer Fred Snitzer has a lot of work to do in preparation for December's onslaught of art fairs, museum exhibitions, gallery shows, special events and all-night cocktail parties. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/arts/visual-arts/story/1263714.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/arts/visual-arts/story/1263714.html Sun, 04 Oct 2009 01:00 EDT Ricardo Rendón's wall-sized sculpture visually blocks access to Shifting Constructs, the new exhibition at the Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation (CIFO). http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/arts/visual-arts/story/1257517.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/arts/visual-arts/story/1257517.html Wed, 30 Sep 2009 01:00 EDT The first thing that hits your eye at the Norton Museum of Art's George Segal exhibit is a very familiar piece, at least if you've been to the FDR Memorial in Washington: Depression Bread Line, Segal's sculpture of five figures in various stages of emotional numbness -- waiting for a handout. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/arts/visual-arts/story/1251699.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/arts/visual-arts/story/1251699.html Sun, 27 Sep 2009 01:00 EDT During the last five decades, Judy Chicago -- artist, author, educator, civic activist -- has built a unique career tackling the cultural and political taboos she faced as a woman and a Jew. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/arts/visual-arts/story/1240145.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/arts/visual-arts/story/1240145.html Sun, 20 Sep 2009 01:00 EDT In 1921, photographer Berenice Abbott headed to Paris from New York City, leaving a city that was linked by sinewy streets with quaint brownstones, cluttered retail strips and the occasional mid-sized Victorian office building on Wall Street. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/arts/visual-arts/story/1228723.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/arts/visual-arts/story/1228723.html Sun, 13 Sep 2009 01:00 EDT Cundo Bermúdez, whose modernist brush strokes evolved from Matisse, Picasso and Dalí-influenced forms into a recognizable style -- puro Cundo -- was easily the best-loved Cuban painter in Miami, and the recent opening of an overdue retrospective at the Freedom Tower seals his place in the city's art history. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/arts/visual-arts/story/1226113.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/arts/visual-arts/story/1226113.html Fri, 11 Sep 2009 01:00 EDT David Castillo Gallery presents You might sleep, but you will never dream, a second solo exhibition by Miami artist Leyden Rodríguez-Casanova, whose visual language is comprised of domestic objects and suburban architectural elements. Reception 7-10 p.m. at 2234 NW Second Ave. 305-573-8110; www.davidcastillogallery.com. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/arts/visual-arts/story/1217860.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/arts/visual-arts/story/1217860.html Sun, 06 Sep 2009 01:00 EDT The TM Sisters have always occupied a precarious perch somewhere among video-game culture, fashion, nightlife, pop, performance art and nightlife, and the recent launch of WHIRL CRASH GO! at the alternative gallery Locust Projects in the Design District accordingly had all the earmarks of a profoundly groovy club opening, an only-in-Miami cross between storming the Bastille and, well, Day of the Locust. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/arts/visual-arts/story/1215443.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/arts/visual-arts/story/1215443.html Fri, 04 Sep 2009 01:00 EDT Married artists Pip and Duane Brant are taking their domestic squabbles to the creative arena with the exhibition The Flying Carpet at ArtCenter/South Florida. No flying plates here. The Brants' world is a whimsical territory of sewing-sound-machines (his invention) and a flying carpet (hers) that shakes and lights up when foot pedals are engaged. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/arts/visual-arts/story/1204059.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/arts/visual-arts/story/1204059.html Fri, 28 Aug 2009 01:00 EDT Art shows don't often try to pick a fight with their viewers. But through a clever assemblage of eclectic sculpture and installation, Because I Say So at Florida International University's Frost Art Museum provokes another round of the age-old discussion: What is art? http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/arts/visual-arts/story/1194062.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/arts/visual-arts/story/1194062.html Fri, 21 Aug 2009 01:00 EDT If you walk into the Bass Museum of Art and think you're seeing things -- treehouses on the ground floor! -- relax and enjoy. They're part of the exhibition Simon Starling: Inverted Retrograde Theme, USA (House for a Songbird), which features a large-scale installation and two photographs by conceptual British artist Starling, who has pinned to the ceiling two scale models of prefabricated single-family houses propped on tree branches. The tree houses are Starling's interpretation of homes outside San Juan, Puerto Rico, built in the 1960s as part of a controversial development financed by the Rockefeller Foundation. With his artwork, Starling reflects on the complexity of realizing utopian aspirations in the modern world. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/arts/visual-arts/story/1186240.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/arts/visual-arts/story/1186240.html Sun, 16 Aug 2009 01:00 EDT The house known as La Ronda was one of the architect Addison Mizner's masterworks, and it is one of the few that retain most of their original detailing and much of their original character. It's a survivor from another era, a brilliant one, and is thought to be the only Mizner building in the Northeast. Mizner and Palm Beach are so closely entwined in the annals of architecture that any memory that he might have lived and worked elsewhere seems impossible. Yet he did, and even today, preservationists are racing the clock to save this wonderful, masterful house built on Philadelphia's Main Line in 1929. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/arts/visual-arts/story/1186235.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/arts/visual-arts/story/1186235.html Sun, 16 Aug 2009 01:00 EDT Everything is there: the well-known desk lamps, the original metal tube chairs and models of boxy white buildings. Ninety years after the founding of the Bauhaus, a new exhibition brings together the collections of three museums for the largest celebration ever of the most famous and influential school of avant-garde art and design in the 20th century.
