LUMAS - Grand Opening Miami - Tuesday, December 2 - New magazine out now!‏

GRAND OPENING AT LUMAS MIAMI

We cordially invite you to the Grand Opening celebration of our new gallery space in Miami's Design District!

GRAND OPENING: Tuesday, December 2, 2008, 6pm

LUMAS Miami
4040 NE 2nd Avenue (corner of 41st St.) – Design District
coincidental with the Vernissage of Design Miami in the same building

On this occasion, we present Virtual Landscapes, a solo show of works by digital artist Gerhard Mantz. Mantz’s interpretations of landscape subjects do not necessarily aim to represent a geographical locale but rather to conjure a metaphor for a psychological state. The lush scenes are sculpted to evoke feelings and moods; the viewer enters the visual environment with immediate emotional responses.

At first glance the images appear realistic, in some cases even photographic, with inviting naturalistic details that lure and seduce. But, upon closer inspection, the seemingly realistic details shift to reveal a strange virtual realm more closely associated with an interior “reality” than with the exterior world.

Gerhard Mantz – Virtual Landscapes
EXHIBITION DATES: December 2, 2008 - January 22, 2009

We very much look forward to your visit!

And...the November MBC photographic exhibition:

“The Frida Files” by LEO MATIZ

Leo Matiz (1917-1998) was born in Aracateca, Colombia, but was known internationally as a “citizen of the world”. The intense and stark compositional beauty of his photographs are world famous, particularly in some of the iconic portraits of our time, and especially in his immortal legendary portraits of Frida Kahlo. Matiz was a master at depicting the internal passions of his subjects, with graphic grace and sharp contrasting

elements defining their features. Like Sergei Eisenstein’s gorgeously photographed film Que Viva Mexico! (which screens November 30th as a companion piece and closing night event to this MBC exhibition, and is accompanied by the modernist electronic music of DJ Maximus 3000), the images of Leo Matiz capture history told through faces. These images are on display courtesy of Alejandra Matiz, the artist’s daughter. The photos are also for sale.

Miami Theatrical Premiere!

BEST DIRECTOR 2008 Sundance Film Festival!

Ballast

(Lance Hammer/USA/2008)




With Michael J. Smith Sr, JimMyron Ross, Tarra Riggs, Johnny McPhail

BALLAST is one of those rare films that maximize the medium through an aesthetic of understatement. Every frame is deliberately and beautifully composed, every cut artfully and economically executed—not only to transmit a quietly gripping story but to reveal characters’ layered emotional experiences and the specific textures and sensations of their locales. In the

cold, winter light of a rural Mississippi Delta township, a man’s suicide radically transforms three characters’ lives and throws off-balance what has long been a static arrangement among them. With circumstances thrusting them into proximity, a subtle interdependence and common purpose emerge for Marlee and Lawrence as they navigate grief, test new waters, and tentatively move forward.

WINNER: Best Director & Excellence in Cinematography Sundance Film Festival

“SILENTS...PLEASE!”

A special audio-visual experience

unlike you have ever seen before!

Featuring the LIVE electronic music styling of DJ Maximus 3000!

Que Viva Mexico! (Sergei Eisenstein/Mexico/Russia/1931)

The KINO restoration of a lost masterpiece of cinema




A blend of the ethnographic, the political, the scenic and the surreal, Qué Viva México! is nothing short of brilliant; a highly stylized (silent with limited subtitles) documentary on the people and volatile social climate of Mexico. It remains superior to the legion of films it strongly influenced: Orson Welles' It's All True, Alejandro Jodorowsky's El Topo and the works of Sergio Leone. With sequences devoted to the Eden-like land of Tehuantepec, the savage majesty of the bullfight, the struggles of the noble peasant and the hypnotic imagery of the Day of the Dead, Qué Viva México! is a vivid tapestry of Mexican life which, thanks to Grigory Alexandrov and Nikita Orlov's careful restoration, takes its rightful place alongside Eisenstein's other legendary works.

Tonight the film is complemented and contrasted with the modern electrionic sounds of DJ Maximus 3000. The film will be followed by the closing night reception for the MBC LEO MATIZ Frida Kahlo exhibition. $12 or $10 MBC Members / Students / Seniors

FOUR NIGHTS OF COMPLIMENTARY EVENTS






ART BASEL Miami Beach
(Dec 04-07)


DEC 04 THU: Opening Night Reception!

8:30-10pm: A Walk “Temps sur temps”

BERLIN 1993-1996 by LESLY HAMILTON

A photographic/audio-visual installation



“Before questioning, I found myself drawn to quite a bleak attraction when meandering between Postdammer Platz and Unter den Linden in Berlin: the "EST" underground stations reopened after twenty nine years in darkness. Mythical places, these were penciled-in on my map until then. High above the vast gloomy no-man's land was the big round Deutsche S-Bahn up on a pole at the entrance, and only the aroma of grilled "bockwurst" from the kiosk nearby uplifted the scene. I was engaged on a path leading to an obsessional quest about signs and tracks of time and the ephemeral traces of man, no doubt inspired by these surroundings where the burden of history had left its marks. It became my territory, without counting how often I would come back from Paris by night train, more often by bus. I remained attentive like the hunter waiting for prey, like the archaeologist seeking new pieces. The swift indifference or aloof respect of passers-by gave me the incentive to pursue with determination a long walk originally never planned.”

—Lesly Hamilton

All MBC Art Basel events are complimentary admission.



DEC 05 FRI:

7:30-8:30pm: A Walk “Temps sur temps”

8:30-11pm: CHINA: The Rising Tide

A film by ROBERT ADANTO, with ZHANG O




“Robert Adanto’s The Rising Tide shows the world how China’s contemporary artists are making sense of their crazy “brave new world”, the improbable mash-up of totalitarianism and capitalism gone wild. An often surprising and thought-provoking documentary, the featured artists throw down a collective glove to the rest of the world and declare their Sino-centric Renaissance. The rest of us better make an effort to grasp what their work is about, or get out of the way. An “eye-opener” in every sense of the word, if you are an artist, curator, or teacher be sure to catch this film.”—Mark Lynch, Host of “Inquiry” on WIC. The Rising Tide was shot in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen in the summer of 2006 and completed in October of 2007 and was recently part of CHINA NOW in the United Kingdom, as part of Constant Stream: China 08 at the Royal College of Art in London, where it screened with a film by acclaimed Chinese director Jia Zhangke.

See two excerpts of the film HERE
The film will be followed by Q&A with director Robert Adanto

and artist Zhang O.

All MBC Art Basel events are complimentary admission.

This one has limited seating.



DEC 06 SAT:

7:30-8:30pm: A Walk “Temps sur temps”

8:30-9:30pm: Trance

A sound and video experience by PEARL GLUCK



Trance is a multimedia site specific installation which explores a neighborhood from the inside out. Using documentary video and found sound, Trance blurs the boundaries between insider and outsider, past and present, fitting in or being exiled. By partnering with local composers, Pearl Gluck creates a documentary visualscape made up of found images and sounds collected in the specific neighborhoods over the course of one week. Two of the Trance installations will be featured this evening: Trance: plac Z.ydowski, Krakow which visits what's left on the 200 year old once Jewish market square in Kazimierz, and Trance: Eldridge Street, New York, which visits the Lower East Side's interconnected and still separate Asian and Jewish communities. In the spirit of ambiguity and confusion, we will also feature another soundscape, a "soundwalk" through Hasidic Williamsburg hosted by Pearl Gluck. . .

with separate walks for men and women.

All MBC Art Basel events are complimentary admission.





9:40pm, 10:20pm, 11pm: Speaker Box

A performance in a transparent cube by BELAXIS BUIL (showtimes: 15 min. each)




The idea behind "Speaker Box" is to manipulate sound waves into becoming a source of energy or language. In this instance I become a foreign object which is contained within the parameters I know exist. I use the the sounds composed as music to entice the viewer into a mind trip of where I stand within my territory. The speakers that are placed around myself and facing the audience create "voice boxes", that ultimately become sound barriers and lost translations.

All MBC Art Basel events are complimentary admission.



07 SUN:

7:30-8:30pm: A Walk “Temps sur temps”

8:30-10pm: Parallax

A triptych screen projection by ROSALIND SCHNEIDER
1973 16mm 21 min. (transferred to digital format)
Concept, Camera, Editing: Rosalind Schneider
Score: Michael Dreyfuss
Choreography: Edith Stephen
Performance: The Edith Stephen Dance Company


Parallax is a dance film that explores the sensuous flow of the female and male body. Formal relationships achieve a visual extension in space through concave mirror reflection and the juxtaposition of three projections. The dancers separate and come together to abstract each other in strong compositional movement and rich color. Their bodies superimposed in black and white

negative and color create a surrealistic environment that defines the synchronous flow within the three screens.

Recipient of the 2008 Women’s Film Preservation Award Grant
"Parallax is at once invitingly sensual and conceptually arresting." -Alan M. Kriegsman, The Washington Post
"Pictorially similar to an enormous fresco, Parallax moves its characters through a dance without time and perhaps without end." Anna Canepa, -Art Workers Newsletter
"Parallax is like a Reubens or a Renoir, it is so explicitly voluptuous."
-Holly Beye, Woodstock Times
"It is a beautiful film." -Jonas Mekas, The Village Voice

All MBC Art Basel events are complimentary admission.

Thanksgiving dinner for two at Segafredo in Brickell
With Thanksgiving this Thursday, we thought this would be a good time to reflect on just what makes Miami so special. This Weekly is giving thanks for the sun, sea, stone crabs, and more...

A lot of us take the paradisal weather down here for granted but for some of the transplants from up north like Cynthia M, a former Mid-Westerner, the sunny days provide plenty of reasons to be grateful all year long. She also mentioned on Talk that aside from the free sunshine, she's thankful for fabulous places that are easy on the wallet like Monty's and Lincoln Road.

Michelle C is also giving big ups to the local eats, especially her favorite, the South Florida institution now on it's 96th season, Joe's Stone Crab. Thankfully for everyone, Justin P shared a secret about heading to Joe's Take Away for the same famous stone crabs minus the wait (plus a discount!). Now there's some math we can all celebrate.

Yelpers can also save some bucks and cash in on blue skies by enjoying the local beaches and parks. George M loves the outdoors and his go-to green spot is Amelia Earhart Park – with mountain biking paths, canoeing, horse back riding, a dog park and a petting zoo... try not to get lost in there. Joseluis A is all about the beautiful beaches like Bill Baggs, our "chancleta-friendly" weather 365 days a year, and the city's global vibe, represented in international flavors like Latin and Caribbean.

But perhaps nothing is more indicative of what Miami is all about than our vibrant, oftentimes raucous nightlife. Frankie and the rest of the Rat Pack ring-a-ding-dinged the night away in the Fontainebleau and now you can too at LIV and Blade, two of the latest and greatest lounges in town. Miami's glittering scene recently added a few more gems to its nightlife crown, with Louis holding court in the Gansevoort, and the King is Dead opening next door to the ever-sultry Grass Lounge.

And there you have it! From beaches to bars, and everything in between, there's so much to be grateful for in Miami. From all of us here at Yelp, we wish you a very yelpy Thanksgiving – thanks for being so darn funny, useful and cool!



What are you thankful for in Miami?
(A Word from Our Sponsor) Dress sharp, tease you hair, wait for a slow dance...
Will you be the '80s Prom Queen or King?
Get that neon prom dress and hair spray ready, the 6th Annual '80s Prom is back! You and the rest of the brat pack will be dancing all night long at the Vagabond to some totally awesome eighties tunes from prom band Outreach and an ensemble cast of rad DJs spinning the best of the '80s. Be sure to get some of that yummy punch and get your prom portrait taken by Jipsy (nefariousgirl.com).


RSVP to miami@yelp.com with subject line '80s Prom – the party costs only $5!

And...the November MBC photographic exhibition:

“The Frida Files” by LEO MATIZ

Leo Matiz (1917-1998) was born in Aracateca, Colombia, but was known internationally as a “citizen of the world”. The intense and stark compositional beauty of his photographs are world famous, particularly in some of the iconic portraits of our time, and especially in his immortal legendary portraits of Frida Kahlo. Matiz was a master at depicting the internal passions of his subjects, with graphic grace and sharp contrasting

elements defining their features. Like Sergei Eisenstein’s gorgeously photographed film Que Viva Mexico! (which screens November 30th as a companion piece and closing night event to this MBC exhibition, and is accompanied by the modernist electronic music of DJ Maximus 3000), the images of Leo Matiz capture history told through faces. These images are on display courtesy of Alejandra Matiz, the artist’s daughter. The photos are also for sale.

Miami Theatrical Premiere!

Filth and Wisdom

(Directed by Madonna/USA/2008)

with DJ Ade, Gogol Bordello, Olegar Fedoro, Stephan Graham, Shobu Kapoor




Madonna's directorial debut, Filth and Wisdom, is a hilariously sexy tale of three roommates who must delve into mischievous and naughty behavior in pursuit of bigger and brighter futures. A Ukrainian immigrant, A.K. (Eugene Hutz), finances his dreams of 'trans-continental superstardom' with his band, Gogol Bordello, by turning tricks as a role-playing cross dresser. As A.K. literally whips the privileged of London into shape, he also secretly pines for the object of his affection, Holly (Holly Weston), an aspiring ballerina looking for her big break while moonlighting as a slippery stripper. Meanwhile, Juliette (Vicky Mclure) steals medicine from her pharmaceutical job in hopes of quenching her dreams of helping Africa's youth. Filth and Wisdom is every bit as erotic and playful as it is poignant and touching, revealing the universal struggles we all face in our pursuits of happiness.

The Miami International Film Festival, in collaboration with

The Miami Beach Cinematheque




Join us for a humorous and enlightening discussion with David Frankel, Academy Award-winning Hollywood director, as he shares his experiences and insights on making it to Hollywood, filming in Florida, directing A-listers, and his upcoming release Marley & Me. An adaptation of a New York Times bestselling book by John Grogan, Marley & Me stars Owen Wilson, Jennifer Aniston, and a highly strung Labrador retriever! Frankel is perhaps best known for directing Meryl Streep in The Devil Wears Prada (2006). He won an Academy Award for Best Short for Dear Diary (1997) and an Emmy Award for Best Director for his work on the HBO mini-series Band of Brothers (2001). He received another Emmy nomination for directing the pilot for the HBO series Entourage (2004). His first feature film, Miami Rhapsody, starring Sarah Jessica Parker, debuted at the Sundance Film Festival in 1995.

Kent Mackensie

Miami Theatrical Premiere!

The Exiles (Kent Mackensie/USA/1961)



From the people who brought you the restored version of Charles Burnett’s Killer of Sheep, THE EXILES chronicles one night in the lives of young Native American men and women living in the Bunker Hill district of Los Angeles. Based entirely on interviews with the participants and their friends, the film follows a group of exiles — transplants from Southwest reservations — as they flirt, drink, party, fight, and dance. In July 1957, filmmaker Kent Mackenzie spent long hours making friends and earning the confidence of these Indians who finally agreed to re-enact scenes from their lives for this picture.

BEST DIRECTOR 2008 Sundance Film Festival!

Ballast

(Lance Hammer/USA/2008)




With Michael J. Smith Sr, JimMyron Ross, Tarra Riggs, Johnny McPhail

BALLAST is one of those rare films that maximize the medium through an aesthetic of understatement. Every frame is deliberately and beautifully composed, every cut artfully and economically executed—not only to transmit a quietly gripping story but to reveal characters’ layered emotional experiences and the specific textures and sensations of their locales. In the

cold, winter light of a rural Mississippi Delta township, a man’s suicide radically transforms three characters’ lives and throws off-balance what has long been a static arrangement among them. With circumstances thrusting them into proximity, a subtle interdependence and common purpose emerge for Marlee and Lawrence as they navigate grief, test new waters, and tentatively move forward.

“SILENTS...PLEASE!”

A special audio-visual experience

unlike you have ever seen before!

Featuring the LIVE electronic music styling of DJ Maximus 3000!

Que Viva Mexico! (Sergei Eisenstein/Mexico/Russia/1931)

The KINO restoration of a lost masterpiece of cinema




A blend of the ethnographic, the political, the scenic and the surreal, Qué Viva México! is nothing short of brilliant; a highly stylized (silent with limited subtitles) documentary on the people and volatile social climate of Mexico. It remains superior to the legion of films it strongly influenced: Orson Welles' It's All True, Alejandro Jodorowsky's El Topo and the works of Sergio Leone. With sequences devoted to the Eden-like land of Tehuantepec, the savage majesty of the bullfight, the struggles of the noble peasant and the hypnotic imagery of the Day of the Dead, Qué Viva México! is a vivid tapestry of Mexican life which, thanks to Grigory Alexandrov and Nikita Orlov's careful restoration, takes its rightful place alongside Eisenstein's other legendary works.

Tonight the film is complemented and contrasted with the modern electrionic sounds of DJ Maximus 3000. The film will be followed by the closing night reception for the MBC LEO MATIZ Frida Kahlo exhibition. $12 or $10 MBC Members / Students / Seniors

February 4 - 15, 2009
Carnival Studio Theater

Defendiendo al Cavernícola, the Spanish-language version of Broadway's longest-running solo play Defending the Caveman, gets its US premiere! The wildly popular comedy written by Rob Becker has become a peacemaker in the ongoing misunderstandings between men and women. Cavernicola is a hilariously insightful play about the ways men and women relate that has both sexes roaring with laughter and recognition. Defendiendo al Cavernícola mines the common themes in relationships that go straight to the funny bone and into the heart. Couples are often seen affectionately nudging each other and strolling into the night holding hands.

Cavernícola remains true to the "outrageously funny and surprisingly sweet exploration of the gender gap" (Chicago Sun-Times) that has made Defending the Caveman "a comic phenomenon!" (The New York Times) Defendiendo al Cavernícola has already won the hearts of couples in Mexico, Spain, Chile, and Guatemala and is sure to win yours!

DEFENDIENDO AL CAVERNÍCOLA is recommended for adult audiences.

RueLaLa: The Secret Weapon of Fashionistas Everywhere



There's always one uber-stylish coworker in every office. She shows up each day looking fab, but plays coy when asked where to get the goods. You know management isn't ponying up the kind of dough it takes to score those clothes, but even when plied with happy hour cosmos, her lips stay sealed.

Diva, we've cracked her code: RueLaLa.com.

And no wonder she didn't want to tell. Check it out:

o RueLaLa has designer goods at 30% to 80% off retail.

o Each boutique on the site is devoted to a single brand and is open for two days only.

o You can find clothing, lingerie, accessories and even luxe home goods.

This week we're excited to log on for Diva-rific brands like Cosabella (super sexy-and still comfortable-lingerie) and 7 for All Mankind (the jeans that sparked the denim revolution).

This is no ordinary shopping site: RueLaLa is invitation-only, and you have to know someone to get an invitation. Fortunately, you do!

Click here to sign up using this special link just for Divas. And get in on the ooh-la-la of RueLaLa.
