Global Caribbean III @ the Little Haiti Cultural Center
The exhibition Haiti Kingdom of this World arose from the need to draw up an inventory of contemporary creativity in Haiti, and to show the work of artists who daily question the state of chaos reigning there. There are plastic artists, photographers, sculptors, painters, performers and video artists - all essential players of their time. The exhibition is conceived as a laboratory of which they are the guardians.The exhibition is mainly concerned to present recent and new works, commissioned from the artists specifically for this exhibition, and testifying to their creative vitality. At the same time it challenges us to think about the difficulties these artists face in making their work known through travel and exchanges with the Caribbean and the rest of the world.
Haïti Royaume de ce Monde seeks to go to the heart of this drama, to question the idea that misfortune is inevitable and to put forward another face of Haiti as seen through the eyes of its artists. The title of the exhibition is inspired by the novel of Alejo Carpentier: it offers a way of reconsidering the founding myths linked to Haiti and, without eulogizing them, attempts to redirect the chaos of Haiti and the possibilities it may contain.
Alejo Carpentier's real maravilloso (wonderful reality) long ago gave way to "wonderful chaos". Frankétienne, with his literary and pictorial UFOs, has been creating an apocalyptic world for about forty years now. Mario Benjamin, on the other hand, inhabits time and tames space. Maksaens Denis, through his video-sculptures,pursues his reflections on the deluge of images that belong to our time. But how is it possible to continue creating after such a catastrophe and all the dramas that are added to it day by day? People like to evoke the "resilience" of the Haitian population, but if Haiti really wants to be the Phoenix rising from its ashes, it needs to take time into account. Alas, it is too long. Two years after the earthquake, it is only via private initiatives that Haiti is beginning to look to the future. For the moment, only imagination and creativity are enabling Haitians to transcend their own boundaries and reconstruct themselves little by little.
Before the earthquake, Haiti did not figure on the official circuits for contemporary art; today things are even more complex. In a country occupied by humanitarian aid agencies, the devastation paradoxically betrays any attempt to construct "professional" relationships.
This exhibition goes beyond such an approach and relies on this "kingdom of creativity" to be the country's most stunning advertisement. By showing its artists to the world, Haiti hopes to transform the charity it is being offered in exchange.
Despite the wide gap between the discourses stressing that Haiti will only emerge from the morass through its own culture, and the reality of the budget allocated to it, Haiti has a large concentration of artists and craftspeople from the "new region of the world", the Caribbean - a potential which has inspired distinguished ambassadors and thinkers such as Aimé Césaire, Maryse Condé, Edouard Glissant and Graham Greene.
Welcome to a Haiti which stands tall. A Haiti where life is reasserting its rights.

Travelers in Time, Photographs by Lluis Barba / Sculpture by Herbert Mehler at the Center for Visual Communication
(click on link to view full article) http://www.miamiartguide.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3826:center-for-visual-communication-in-collaboration-with-lausberg-contemporary-presents-travelers-in-time&catid=17:exhibitions-on-view&Itemid=100142
Travelers in Time presents large scale photographs by Lluís Barba based on known masterworks by Bosh, Brueghel, Van Dyke, Raphael, Goya and Gauguin. Barba inhabits iconic paintings with present-day celebrities and influential people, as well as anonymous visitors. The new work is plagued by ordinary iconographies, such as McDonalds signs that share a new created virtual space with artworks by modern masters such as Magritte, DeKooning and Miro. The exhibition highlights the surrealist nature of Barba's manufactured worlds by inviting the visitor to enter a new reality occupied by the three dimensional steel sculptures at once organic and geometric of German artist Herbert Mehler. Mehler's sculptures come from nature - the plant world of fruits and seeds. Mehler transform the weight of metal into soft light shapes that at once are grounded yet seem capable of becoming airborne by the slightest breeze.

The Frost Art Museum presents Two Exhibitions Opening on Target Wednesday After Hours
The Frost Art Museum presents Two Exhibitions Opening on Target Wednesday After HoursNovember 9, 2011. 6:00 - 9:00 p.m.
Christian Boltanski, Lycee Chases (8) [Chases High School (8)], 1986-1987, Photograph, desk lamp, and 54 tin boxes, 109 x 26 x 9 1/2 inches, Courtesy of Rubell Family Collection, Miami
Location:
The Patricia and Phillip Frost Art Museum at FIU. 10975 SW 17th Street. Miami, FL 33199
Opening Reception:
November 9, 2011. 6:00 - 9:00 p.m.
Admission:
Free
The Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum will host the opening reception of two new exhibitions, Tour de France/Florida: Contemporary Artists from France in Florida’s Private Collection and color on color. These new exhibitions focus on contemporary artists from France, some of which have never been seen by the public before. Visitors will have the opportunity to view paintings by prominent and well-known contemporary French artists from the private collections in Florida and celebrated Geometric Abstraction artists from the permanent collection of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Buenos Aires (MACBA). Join us for the opening reception during Target Wednesday After Hours on Wednesday, November 9, 2011 from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. which is free and open to the public.
This exhibition of Tour de France/Florida: Contemporary Artists from France in Florida’s Private Collections, presented by The Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum at FIU and in collaboration with the Consulate General of France and the France-Florida Foundation for the Arts, is born from a desire to measure the presence of French art, diffused yet significant, in private collections of the region. The elaboration phase of the exhibition demonstrated the abundance of collections in Florida and the generosity of the collectors. Together these artists demonstrate a number of interesting perspectives as it showcases artists of international renown, like Christian Boltanski and Sophie Calle; artists not well recognized in Florida, outside of the circle of well-versed collectors, like Jean-Pierre Khazem and Denise A. Aubertin, and young artists like Gyan Panchal. Also lending to the exhibitions perspective are works from The Sackner Archive of Concrete and Visual Poetry, which relies on the articulation between visual arts and writing.
color on color marks the inaugural exhibition of the collaboration of The Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum at Florida International University, Miami and Museum of Contemporary Art, Buenos Aires (MACBA). This exhibition includes works by Ilya Bolotwosky, Alexander Liberman, Carlos Cruz-Diez, and Joel Stein among many others. Curated by Constanza Cerullo, this will be the first of an on-going series of programs and exhibitions between the two institutions.
This event is free and open to the public.
Also on view:
Florida Artist Series: Humberto Calzada: The Fire Next Time through January 8, 2011
Magdalena Fernandez: 2iPM009 through January 8, 2011

MIAMI-DADE COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS NOW ACCEPTING ENTRIES FROM THE DISTRICT’S MOST CREATIVE TEENS FOR THE 2012 SCHOLASTIC ART & WRITING AWARDS
Winners Gain National Recognition & Become Eligible for Scholarships Totaling Nearly $4 Million
Miami-Dade County Public Schools, Florida (September 15, 2011) – In partnership with the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers, a nonprofit organization dedicated to recognizing the nation’s most talented teen artists and writers, Miami-Dade County Public Schools has launched its call for entries for the 2012 Scholastic Art & Writing Awards. The Awards competition, entering its 89th year, is the nation’s longest-running, most prestigious scholarship and recognition program for student achievement in the visual and literary arts.
Creative teens in grades 7-12 are invited to submit work in 28 categories of art and writing, including film and animation, video game design, sculpture, photography, fashion design, poetry, journalism, humor, dramatic script and science fiction. Miami-Dade County Public Schools, one of 115 affiliate organizations nationwide, administers The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards in Miami, Florida. The submissions are first judged locally with top winning works then presented to national panels of creative leaders to determine which receive the highest honors. This year, joining author Edwidge Danticat as a national juror will be curators from major museums, leading journalists, gallerists, artists and established alumnae. Past jurors have included Tony Hawk, Lesley Stahl, Wangechi Mutu, Bill Murray, Judy Blume, and Nikki Giovanni.
“Amazing partnerships with committed organizations are key to the success of the Scholastic Awards,” said Virginia McEnerney, Executive Director of the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers. “The regional affiliate network, outreach partners, schools, teachers and funders who support our work share our commitment to young people, and affirm that creative accomplishment is a gateway to success in many different fields. Our students thrive with the support of scholarship partners including Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), Kenyon College, Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) and Carnegie Mellon University.”
Fifteen graduating high school seniors will be awarded with Portfolio Gold Medals, which include a $10,000 scholarship for each winner. Additional scholarships are made available to Portfolio Silver Medalists and through sponsored awards and stipends to summer arts programs. The Alliance will offer more then $270,000 in direct scholarships and awards this year. Teachers of award winners also receive recognition, and hundreds of high school senior award winners are eligible for nearly $4 million in scholarships through a network of more than 60 colleges and universities that recognize the significance of the Awards.
Since 1923, nine million students have been recognized through exhibitions and publications and have shared in more than $25 million in awards and scholarships. The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards has a long list of distinguished alumni who rose to the top of their creative fields since they won their awards in high school, including Andy Warhol, Robert Redford, Sue Miller, Richard Avedon, Zac Posen, Joyce Carol Oates, Tom Otterness, Sylvia Plath, John Lithgow, Ned Vizzini, Philip Pearlstein and John Baldessari. As the program prepares for its 90th anniversary in 2013, the Alliance is calling all alumni to reconnect and join in the celebration.

First Annual Wynwood Art Fair
From Oct 21 to 23, 2011From October 21 to 23, Miami-ood, is launching the first annual Wynwood Art Fair, a groundbreaking, collaborative, performance-based, interactive, contemporary art fair involving virtually every major contemporary art institution and works of internationally acclaimed artists from Miami and across the country. This three-day celebration and exploration of contemporary art is more than just good fun, it’s also for a good cause. All admission proceeds benefit the Lotus House Women’s Shelter, providing shelter, sanctuary and support to women and children in
need.
More than a fair, the Wynwood Art Fair will be a dazzling three-day, contemporary art “happening” of unprecedented artistic dimension as artists from Miami and across the country explore virtually every form of artistic medium, creating spontaneous works of art “live” with fair participants. Fun, thought-provoking, educational and interactive, the Wynwood Art Fair goes beyond traditional notions of contemporary art fairs, inviting fairgoers of all ages to see, hear, touch, taste, feel, think and above all, make art!
At the Wynwood Art Fair, fair-goers will have an opportunity to not only meet the artists, but in many cases, work along side them and be a part of the creative process unfolding. Veteran and nationally renowned artists, such as Trajal Harrell, David Brooks, Sarah Sze, Ellen Fisher, Ben Fain, Frank Van Duerm, Marc Grubstein, Steve Johnson, Minsky Sisters, Jerry Misrach and Marinov Dancers will be flying in for the three days of street festivities to perform, play and collaborate in the making of art with local Miami favorites Primary Flight, Alouishous San Gomma, Sleeper, Calotta Pradera and Clifton Childree, among many others. Their mutual goal - to surprise, engage, delight and interact with fair goers - all the while raising awareness of Lotus House and its important work on behalf of women and children in need. The streets and street art of the Wynwood Art District will offer a unique and fitting backdrop to the artistic talent of this cutting edge street fair.
As the premier sponsor, Hadley Martin Fisher said: “I am honored to support Lotus House as a sponsor of the Wynwood Art fair. I am equally delighted to join forces with a number of Miami's best art institutions and the Miami art community, and share a portion of my art collection with the general public.

Bring your blankets and beach chairs and join us on International Day of Peace as we screen I AM on the façade of The Frost Art Museum. Tom Shadyac, the filmmaker behind I AM, is one of Hollywood's leading comedy practitioners and the creative force behind such blockbusters as "Ace Ventura," "Liar Liar," "The Nutty Professor," and "Bruce Almighty."
However, in I AM, Shadyac steps in front of the camera to recount what happened to him after a
cycling accident left him incapacitated, possibly for good. Though he ultimately recovered, he emerged with a new sense of purpose, determined to share his own awakening to his prior life of excess and greed, and to investigate how he as an individual, and we as a race, could improve the way we live and walk in the world. I AM poses two practical and provocative questions: what's wrong with our world, and what can we do to make it better?In collaboration with Global Learning Initiatives at FIU.

Humberto Calzada, Presencing, 2011, Acrylic on canvas, 47 x 47 inches, Courtesy of the ArtistThe Florida Artist Series: Humberto Calzada: The Fire Next Time
October 12, 2011 - January 8, 2012
Cuban-American artist Humberto Calzada, one of the most renowned artists of his generation, will present an exhibition of recent works on the idea of Fire – the fire of war, the fire of light, the fire of passion and emotions with its metaphorical properties that are both destructive and regenerative. In The Fire Next Time, Calzada launches into a new artistic and formal language deviating from his hard -edge approach to a more unpredictable painting style. Calzada seemingly poses an open question between the personal and historical past and the promise of its future.
Magdalena Fernández: 2iPM009
October 12, 2011 - January 8, 2012
Magdalena Fernández's video installation, 2iPM009, brings Geometric Abstraction to a new level of expression. During the past decade the Venezuelan-born artist (1964) has developed a body of kinetic sculptures and videos, the latter with sound and movement of lines and colors. In 2iPM009, Fernández incorporates very sophisticated sound compositions to simulate rain and thunder. The visual imagery in the video consists of rapidly moving dots and lines that constantly change their configuration.

Modern Meals: Remaking American Foods from Farm to Kitchen
October 12, 2011 - January 8, 2012
The Wolfsonian–Florida International University presents Modern Meals: Remaking American Foods from Farm to Kitchen, an exhibition that explores how technology and design remade the places where food was produced, sold, cooked and eaten from the turn of the century into the post-1945 period. Images and artifacts from the Wolfsonian collection illustrate the movement of food from the field, to the factory, supermarket, and kitchen table, in order to explore how modern technology, design, and business practices created new meanings for food and eating in this era. The more than three dozen items on display will include posters, prints, and advertisements, as well as objects such as toasters, cookware, and tableware, all of which invite visitors to consider how commercialization has shaped modern American foodways.(http://thefrost.fiu.edu/docs/releases/2011/HumbertoCalzada.pdf)
