«Queen Bee, War Remnants Museum» by Northern Ireland-born Rodney Dickson (b. 1956; Klemens Gasser & Tanja Grunert, New York) is a full-scale interactive performance / installation. It recreates a third-world-style wooden shack, used as a museum, as can be found in remote places in the US as well as around the globe. «Queen Bee, War Remnants Museum» not only displays artworks that show the effects of war but is an analysis of the effects of war. Venue: Beachfront at Collins Park

Over the years, Alberto Baraya (Galería Alcuadrado, Bogotá) has constructed a herbarium for artificial plants as an ongoing project that reelaborates 18th- and 19th- century royal scientific journeys to the Americas, such as The Spanish Royal Botanical Expedition in Nueva Granada, which collected, dissected, classified, and framed non-European nature. For «Art Projects», Baraya is building a greenhouse in Collins Park. The greenhouse will be filled with plastic plants and flowers, all classified with tags «scientifically» labeling each individual artificial specimen. If the plastic plants inside this greenhouse were real live botanical species, they could not possibly coexist in the same environment. In this sense, these «Made in China» plants comment not only on the limits of constructing reality but also on the fiction of democracy in a globalized world. Venue: Collins Park, 21st Street.

«Modified Social Benches» (2006) of German artist Jeppe Hein (Johann König, Berlin, 303 Gallery, New York) vary in style. Some of them are openly puzzling, almost as if they had been generically altered, forcing the user to adapt passively to their new form. Others look as if they had been vandalized, but not to the point of being completely useless. Planks might have been detached and laid on the adjacent ground; a leg might be missing. Either way, the visitor is called on to develop a creative way to utilize them. The third situation is the trickiest. The benches look absolutely normal until you use them. Then you discover that the legs or the back are fixed with loose joints, that the planks are attached only on one side, or that the bench sinks under the weight of those who sit on it. Venue: Various locations: City Hall, Miami Beach Convention Center Entrance D, Collins Avenue, Collins Park, beachfront at Art Positions.

The solo exhibition of Catherine Thompson, Weapons of Mass Consumption; and Other Visions of Ordinary Madness. Thompson is a Tampa native and multi-media artist. In her words, "I have no media allegiance, and work in many formats including sculpture, photography, printmaking (traditional and digital) and installation." This exhibition focuses on what she calls "the underbelly of memory and nostalgia" mixed with Baudrillardian concepts of conscious and unconscious consumption. Utilizing familiar objects and images, she explores the sometimes-disturbing history of culture, war, family, and identity.

Marcus Antonius Jansen was born 1968 in New York City and he is a Gulf War veteran who managed to transform his life from a soldier at war into the innovator of "Modern Urban-Expressionism" (according to art historian Jerome A. Donson, former museum director of international exhibitions). Jansen was influenced early in life by the emerging graffiti art movement in his neighborhood in the Bronx in New York City and then later by 20th century German expressionist work and European culture. His paintings reflect decayed structures, human forms, and suspended moments of profound beauty.
Jansen is a world traveler, artist and visionary whose collected works are in the Smithsonian Institution and the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Art. Jansen was recently awarded the Angel of the Arts Award in the category New Artist of the Year by the Alliance for the Arts in Fort Myers. His recent Biennials include: The 12th International Print & Drawing Biennial at the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Art (including international Juror David Kiehl); Whitney Biennial; and recently for the International 8th Contemporary Art Biennial "Dialogues" in St. Petersburg Russia where he received a Diplom for Modern Urban-Expressionism.

Vizcaya Museum and Gardens
3251 S Miami Ave in Miami - Admission $12
The Contemporary Arts Project, which began in November 2006, engages leading Miami-based and national artists in the creation and exhibition of original artworks inspired by Vizcaya. After a preliminary immersion visit to the Museum, each artist develops an original project proposal based upon his or her experience, creates and installs the project at Vizcaya, and presents related programming to the public, such as performances, demonstrations, and talks. Each installation exhibited for a period of two to three months, enabling Vizcaya to showcase significant artistic talent while also offering visitors new, stimulating, and challenging ways of understanding this historic site. The goals of this new initiative are to reinvigorate Vizcaya with the creative dialogue that characterized its foundation, develop appreciation among visitors of Vizcaya's contemporary relevance, and provide opportunities for artists to exhibit their work to a diverse audience. In Struggling for Grandeur, Cristina Lei Rodriguez reinterprets topiaries found in Vizcaya's formal gardens to create an eight-foot-tall sculpture for the Tea Room. Using inexpensive materials such as plastic and artificial plants to achieve a sense of beauty and grandeur, Rodriguez paradoxically mirrors Vizcaya founder James Deering's vision through a twenty-first-century lens, referencing the struggle between natural elements and human intervention and the dynamic process of growth and decay.
Born in Miami in 1974, Cristina Lei Rodriguez received a B.A. from Middlebury College in 1996 and an M.F.A. from California College of Arts in 2002. She has two upcoming solo shows in 2008—one with Team Gallery (New York ) and another with Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin ( Miami ). Rodriguez was selected to participate in a group show highlighting forty young American artists, Uncertain States of America . The exhibition has traveled extensively to sites including AstrupFearnley Museum of Modern Art ( Oslo ), Bard Center for Curatorial Studies (New York ), Serpentine Gallery (London ), Herning Museum of Art ( Denmark ). Rodriguez has alsoexhibited her work at Deitch Project ( New York ), Mary Boone Gallery (New York ), Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin ( Paris ), The Rubell Family Collection ( Miami) and The Moore Space (Miami). Rodriguez currently lives and works in Miami.

Nov 17 - Dec 21, 2007
Opening Reception: Sat Nov 17 2007, 6 - 9 pm
969 Chung King Road Los Angeles, CA 90012
Javier Peres is very pleased to present Kirstine Roepstorff in her second Los Angeles solo exhibition "It's not the eye of the needle that changed - The Self ". The artist will present a large-scale installation including elements of sculpture, banner and collage. "It's not the eye of the needle that changed - The Self" delivers the second installment of a three-venue exhibition by the artist which begins at The Drawing Center in New York with "It's not the eye of the needle that changed - The Time" (November 9, 2007 - February 7, 2008) and concludes with "It's not the eye of the needle that changed -The Frame" (December 7 - 9, 2007), which will be shown by Peres Projects at Art Basel Miami Beach, Booth N10. As the title suggests, "It's not the eye of the needle that changed: The Self" offers the most intimate installment from the artist's ongoing three-part exhibition. It is an exercise in reflection, and an invitation for the resolution of multiple forms of conflict, not limited to the aesthetic, geometric, perceptive, external, internal, platonic and corporeal. Despite the abundance of motifs (pagan, mirror, language, monolith, and others) that remind us of the timelessness--and the futility-- of our innate compulsion to bring absolute resolution to even the least complex of these issues, Roepstorff circumnavigates any vantage of pessimism or optimism. One lives with or leaves these works with a palpable longing for closure, knowing the feeling is probably the same as the artist's. After all, she knows she does not know. Kirstine Roepstorff (b. 1972, Denmark) lives and works in Berlin and will be present for the opening.

A SHOWHOUSE FOR THE 21ST CENTURY
NOV. 8 – DEC. 16, 2007
 CASADECOR MIAMI IS A MULTIFACETED SOCIAL DESTINATION AND A REVOLUTIONARY RESOURCE FOR ART AND DESIGN
MIAMI —CASADECOR Miami is a showhouse for the 21st century. Unlike the more conventional "showhouse-in-a-townhouse" format, CASADECOR'07 will take place in a repurposed parking facility. Architects, garden designers, interior designers, students, and restaurateurs will create a totally innovative venue that combines a hip social happening with the opportunity for the public to learn about the freshest trends in art and design and vet potential designers first hand.
Since its inception in 1985 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, CASADECOR has been transforming abandoned landmarks, municipal buildings, churches and castles in Europe and Latin America into elegant, decorated, showhouses where discerning homeowners, decorators, designers and design enthusiasts experience new design trends and the latest technologies. For CASADECOR's second year in Miami, it will bring together more than 60 top international designers, architects, manufacturers and sponsors to redesign a 50,000 square foot, multi-level parking garage on Biscayne Boulevard near the new Performing Arts Center. The showhouse will include replicated lofts, apartments, studios, libraries and gardens and provide a unique opportunity for visitors to see how designers and manufacturers apply creative vision and technological innovation to overcome design challenges. --> --> --> --> --> --> --> --> --> --> End .post --> --> --> Begin comments --> --> --> End comments --> --> --> Begin .post --> Censorship: An Exhibition Benefiting Artists in Distress

Art Projects: Art in Public Spaces
Art Projects features 9 projects by internationally renowned artists from 8 countries. On show in public spaces in Miami Beach, these works engage directly with the spectator, interrupting the daily routine of passers-by in poetic, alienating, or surprising ways. Art Projects offers fascinating insight into leading contemporary artists' interpretation of new art in public spaces. Most of the pieces are newly created or installed site-specifically for Art Basel Miami Beach. Most of the 9 projects are located in the Art Deco District of Miami Beach, within walking distance of the Convention Center, exhibition venue for 220 international galleries. The Art Projects include installations on streets and sculptures in parks. A map in the showguide to Art Basel Miami Beach directs visitors to the individual works, enabling them to locate and experience a number of important, engaging, entertaining, and beautiful site-specific works of art while exploring the city of Miami Beach at the same time. These or similar pieces by the participating artists can be purchased from the exhibiting galleries. Descriptions and documentation for all projects are available at the Art Projects Info at the Botanical Gardens. Guided tours are available on request. The unique collaboration between artists, galleries, Roc-Off Productions, the Show Management, and the City of Miami Beach makes for a diverse exhibition of art in public spaces. Art Projects underscores the extraordinary, unique character of Art Basel Miami Beach and illustrates the extent to which the concept of the show transcends the scope of traditional art fairs.

New: Art Supernova
Art Basel Miami Beach is introducing a new sector this year: Art Supernova. It features 20 galleries presenting new works by both emerging and renowned artists in an experimental group show. The concept offers an alternative form of gallery presentation in an art fair context. Art Supernova takes a collaborative approach that links the participating galleries in a new way. Instead of each gallery having its own separate booth, the exhibitors in Art Supernova have interconnected exhibition spaces, a common storage area, and shared facilities for presenting works on paper, videos, performances, artist files, books, and catalogs. They also share a joint office space and a cafeteria. Austrian artist Peter Kogler is creating a site-specific work for the sector. Art Supernova gives visitors an opportunity to discover a wide array of new works fresh from the studio.

November 6 - January 12, 2007
EVO Gallery - 554 South Guadalupe St Santa Fe, NM
EVO Gallery is pleased to present the latest body of work by installation artist Ligia Bouton. In this exhibition, Bouton appropriates the static imagery of six found photographs in order to evoke the infinite narrative possibilities inherent in each picture, the fissure between viewer and subject matter, and the inevitable manner in which photographs both embody and obscure the narratives of their subjects. Utilizing video, performance, drawing, and sculpture to explore and expose the boundary between fantasy and reality, she constantly reminds us that all of the histories she has created are fictive, and that, despite our desires, these captured figures will inevitably remain anonymous and unknowable. Born in São Paulo, Brazil Ligia Bouton currently lives and works in Santa Fe. www.evogallery.org --> --> --> --> --> --> --> --> --> --> End .post --> --> --> Begin comments --> --> --> End comments --> --> --> Begin .post --> PULSE MIAMI - 5-9 DECEMBER 2007

DAYDREAM at Nanzuka Underground
Oct 27th - Dec 23rd, 2007 Reception: Oct 26 7PM Tokyo
Nanzuka Underground is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Keiichi Tanaami (1936-). In contrast to the print art which he has set as a main battlefield for the presentation of his works, for this exhibition, Tanaami has produced new works in painting, drawing and sculpture. Keiichi Tanaami started his career as an artist in the late 1950s and became famous for his distinctly pop illustrations and designs from the 60s to the 70s. Having been associated with Andy Warhol and Jasper Jones, and designed the album jacket of "The Monkees", his works have been highly valued internationally since then. In recent years, the reputation of his works keeps rising, involving new generations. In August 2007, his work made the cover of "Wallpaper". This exhibition titled "DAYDREAM" will include works that are focused on goldfish and young girls as the newest form of Keiichi Tanaami who has always embodied the frontier of culture. During the term of the exhibition, there will be a talk event with Tabaimo and a screening of his video works that have been selected for many international film festivals including previously unseen work. In addition, a book of paintings titled "DAYDREAM" (graphic-sha) will be published in a catalogue of this exhibition. Shibuya Ibis Bldg.B1F 2-17-3 Shibuya Shibuya-ku, Tokyo 150-0002 Japan

Galleria Emi Fontana in Milan and West of Rome in L.A.
Galleria Emi Fontana and West of Rome are proud to announce that Monica Bonvicini has been assigned the public commission for HUN LIGGER (SHE LIES), a site-specific sculpture floating in the water in front of the New Opera House in Oslo. Monica Bonvicini's winning proposal is a three-dimensional re-visitation of Caspar David Friedrich's Das Eismeer (The Ice Sea) made of a supporting, steel structure partly covered with translucent diagonal stripes, measuring approximately 17 x 16 x 12 metres and floating in a fiord facing the New Opera House. Following Bonvicini's project Minimal Romantik presented at the 51st Venice Biennale in 2005 HUN LIGGER (SHE LIES) is "a monument about construction". Monica Bonvicini was born 1965 in Venice. She lives and works in Berlin and teaches sculpture and performative art at the Akademie der bildenden Künste in Vienna. Monica Bonvicini is one of the most influential artists of her generation. The art of Monica Bonvicini investigates the relationships between space, gender and power. Utilizing different media, including drawing, collage, video and sculpture, her individual artworks are also steps in the process towards creating large-scale installations. Through a reflection on gender issues, often reinforced by biting humour, her work addresses the problem of "building", both architectural and social.

Conner emerged in the late 1950s among the Bay Area's beat generation and quickly came to prominence for his quasi-erotic sculptures, assemblages, and found footage film installations. He later garnered critical acclaim for his punk photographs, wood engraving collages and inkblot drawings. For PUNKS and DEAD ASHES, Conner pays homage to dead punk stars in a rendition of collages made of plywood, glue, ragboard, tacks, posters and photocopies of punk photographs taken in the late 1970s. In the second gallery is the digitally restored version of THREE-SCREEN-RAY, now titled EVE-RAY-FOREVER. The film mixes found footage from early 20th century sources containing a striptease, educational film clips, animated cartoons, and silent movies. Conner is included in the permanent collections at the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; Musée Nationale de l'art Moderne, Centre Pompidou, Paris; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; and Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

2630 NW 2nd. AveMiami, Fl 33127, 305 438 0220
Danilo Dueñas (Cali, Colombia, b.1956) composes his constructive paintings by assembling discarded materials and intervening when necessary, with paint, without limiting himself to a given format. He explores the surfaces and transforms them by suppressing or adding color, or by sanding them down. Such painting acquires protagonism and autonomy, from a different set of values which is its own point of reference. A sharp separation from cubic space only to adhere again to it but with a renewed reading, from a perspective that could be called quasi sculptural.

Catherine Thompson: Weapons of Mass Consumption
and Other Visions of Ordinary Madness
Oct 13 – Nov 10, 2007
Opening Reception Oct 13 2007, 7:00-10:30 pm
Catherine Thompson - Guns for Girls series; Sweet Sixteen
Undercurrent Arts presents the solo exhibition of Catherine Thompson, Weapons of Mass Consumption; and Other Visions of Ordinary Madness. Thompson is a Tampa native and multi-media artist. In her words, "I have no media allegiance, and work in many formats including sculpture, photography, printmaking (traditional and digital) and installation." This exhibition focuses on what she calls "the underbelly of memory and nostalgia" mixed with Baudrillardian concepts of conscious and unconscious consumption. Utilizing familiar objects and images, she explores the sometimes-disturbing history of culture, war, family, and identity. In describing her work, Thompson's favorite words are intertexuality, unsicherheit (intellectual hesitation), allegorical figuration, and anti-semiotic. She aspires to inclusion in "Great Curmudgeons of the World". Catherine Thompson recently received her Master of Fine Arts from the University of South Florida with a concentration in sculpture and digital printmaking. She has participated in a large number of exhibitions

Art Basel Miami Beach
Art Kabinett gives 22 participating galleries from eight countries the opportunity to present small curated exhibitions. The projects chosen by the Selection Committee are shown in a separate cubicle of the exhibitor's booth. The exhibition concepts for «Art Kabinett» are diverse, representing everything from thematic group exhibitions and one-person shows to installations. The spectrum ranges from modern masters to established artists and the youngest generation. A special section of the catalog presents the projects in detail. «Art Kabinett» is an additional attraction for visitors and enables galleries to complement the arrangement of their booths with a curated exhibition. In undertaking this initiative, Art Basel intensifies its efforts to achieve a meaningful combination of commercial and cultural exhibition activity.
Under the title «Photograms and Double Exposures», Kicken Berlin (Berlin) presents an «Art Kabinett» of rare works by photographers of the European avant-garde. As cameraless photography, the photogram is one of the oldest known photographic techniques. In the early 1920s various contemporaneous international photographers rediscovered these photographic roots, recasting them in radically modern, experimental form in their quest for powerful abstract expression in avantgarde photography. The exhibition includes works by Man Ray, Andreas Walser, and László Moholy-Nagy, among others.
Galerie Krinzinger (Vienna) has a one-person show of Chris Burden in store. Born in Boston in 1945, Burden gained a reputation for controversial performances in the early 1970s.
In 1976 he turned away from action art in favor of a new artistic concept of monumental sculpture. Through his productions, everyday objects or technical devices like motorcycles, steamrollers, or weapons systems mutate into bizarre, sometimes toy-like, sculptures.
Under the title «Organica. The Non-Objective World of Nature in the Russian Avant-Garde of the 20th Century», Galerie Gmurzynska (Zurich) will be presenting works by Mikhail Matyushin, Elena Guro, Boris Ender, Xenia Ender, Maria Ender, Vera Nikolskaya, Pavel Filonow, Pavel Mansurov, Pavel Kondratev, and Vladimir Sterligov.
Swiss outsider artist Louis Soutter (born in 1871) achieved fame with his crude black-and-white finger paintings and ink drawings. In its Kabinett, Galerie Haas & Fuchs (Berlin) will be showing a selection of 8 of his works from the 1930s and 40s.
Sandra Vásquez de la Horra (Kewenig Galerie, Cologne) was born in Chile in 1967 and lives and works in Düsseldorf. The artist regards the installation of her pencil drawings as a single work of art. Always arranging them in groups or lines, she presents them under a thematic heading. For this year's Art Basel she assembled an «Erotic Cabinet».
Galerie Klosterfelde (Berlin) is presenting a wide selection of drawings by Matt Mullican. The works on paper all date from the last 30 years and occupy a central position in the artist's oeuvre. They extend from early stick-figure drawings to comic and porno collages and on to the complex cosmologies that chart Mullican's understanding of the hierarchy of the world, from the material to the symbolic.
The thematic and formal spectrum of the black-and-white paintings of Japanese artist Miwa Ogasawara (Galerie Vera Munro, Hamburg) displays enormous variety. Apart from images of humanity, it is above all the experience of space that repeatedly preoccupies the artist. Where sharp boundaries are blurred by light and shadow, where space disappears into darkness or is, conversely, decomposed by bright light, human beings pale into wraithlike outlines. Miwa Ogasawara addresses the parallelism of perspectives in her work.
«Nothing is true everything is permitted», a quotation from Beat Generation poet Bryon Gysin, is adopted by French artist Loris Gréaud (b. 1979; Yvon Lambert, Paris) as the title for his project for Art Basel Miami Beach. This new group of works explores a redefinition of the world, a redistribution of the scales and representations of our universe without hierarchy, between the macro and the galactic.
American artist Sean Snyder (Lisson Gallery, London) will be presenting a Kabinett featuring the video installation «Schema (Television)». In his recent photographic and video work, Snyder has been exploring ideas of accessibility, transparency, and manipulation of information. The artist puts to close analysis the intrinsic codes of technologically produced and processed images, the implications of resolution and compression of visual data, as well as overt montage and propaganda techniques.
Galleria Continua (San Gimignano, Beijing) will be showing some of the latest paintings by Chinese artist Yan Lei. These new works are moving towards an even more hallucinatory reality with respect to the mechanical production of images that form a part of the collective everyday existence experienced by the artist and upon which he draws in a synthetic and broken-down fashion.
«Documentary Nostalgia» is the name of a 70-minute video by Korean artist Yeondoo Jung (Kukje Gallery, Seoul). The piece consists of six main scenes: starting from an inside view of a cozy-looking living room, the screen slowly shifts to various seemingly unrelated scenes, where people are caught in a passing rain in a city street or a farmer is working in his rice field. What is notable about the work is that the video consists of «one long take». The result is that we can see not only its «intended» or «necessary» part, featuring each scene with its related background and actors, but also the «unnecessary» part, where the laborious process of changing from one scene to another is laid bare by the camera lens.
The Kabinett of Paul Kasmin Gallery (New York) features two sculptures by American artist Robert Indiana, «The Electric EAT» und «The American Electric LOVE». The six-foot «Electric EAT», done at the same time as the twenty-foot «EAT» sign commissioned by Philip Johnson for the New York World's Fair, is a unique piece that bears the word in electric lights that light up sequentially and flicker on and off within a circular frame. «The American Electric LOVE», which takes the form of Indiana's much-celebrated sculpture, is rendered in white, red, and blue, illuminated by flashing bulbs.
For its Kabinett, the Margo Leavin Gallery (Los Angeles), in association with The Estate of David Smith, is showing works created by the American artist in the 1950s. The exhibition consists of a carefully selected group of closely related works establishing a continuity between Smith's well-known sculptures and works in other media.
Under the title «Artists as architects – architects as artists. Latin America in the 50s and 60s», two New York galleries, Mary-Anne Martin Fine Art and Adler & Conkright Fine Art, will present architectural sketches, maquettes, and photographs of various projects in Latin America. Works by artists and architects like Paul Lester Wiener, GEGO (Gertrud Goldschmidt), Alejandro Otero, Mathias Goeritz, Carlos-Raul Villanueva, Jesus-Rafael Soto, Carlos Cruz-Diez, Alexander Calder, and Roberto Burle-Marx will be on display.
Star of the Robert Miller Gallery (New York) Kabinett is an early installation by Robert Mapplethorpe, created in 1970. This piece is a bricolage of found objects – fur, lamps, drapery, a wooden crate and table, and votive objects. The installation will include a select group of related work by the artist from this early and relatively unknown period.
The world view of native Congolese and their art, cult of saints, and spirituality are subjects Cuban artist Jose Bedia (Fred Snitzer Gallery, Miami) deals with in his installation. The Kabinett features one or two fine examples of Central African sculpture around which Bedia creates a small mixed-media installation. Bedia views this juxtaposition as an «embrace», a form of creative and spiritual exchange about the «essence of shared sensibilities», reflecting a direct bond with the Central African people he knows.
The Mitchell-Innes & Nash Gallery (New York) will be presenting drawings, watercolors, and photographs by Puerto Rican artist Enoc Perez in its Kabinett. While Perez is known for his oil paintings, which use layers of paint in different colors to build up an image, his works on paper provide a more intimate and direct experience of his imagery. The installation includes some 25 works hung salon style, forming an index of New York and Latin American modernist architecture.
Francis M. Naumann Fine Art (New York) will be showing works by six women artists under the title «Daughters of New York Dada». Although only some of the pieces by Beatrice Wood, Clara Tice, Florine Stettheimer, Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven, Katherina S. Dreier, and Mina Loy were created between 1915 and 1923, while others are later, they reflect the typical spirit and humor of Dadaism.
Carolina Nitsch Contemporary Art (New York) features a new series of finely scaled works by 96-year-old artist Louise Bourgeois entitled «The Fragile». «The Fragile» is the culmination of her «Good Mother Bad Mother» body of work. It consists of 36 small works on fabric, very delicate, quiet, and intimate.
The fearlessness, insecurity, innocence, yet dissatisfaction and desperation of youth are the subject of Californian Ed Templeton (b. 1972; Roberts & Tilton, Los Angeles). In 139 photographs in black-and-white and color, he offers portraits of young people from the suburbs of Orange County, where the artist grew up and still lives today.
Sperone Westwater (New York) is mounting a small retrospective of works by American photographic artist Laurie Simmons. Since the mid-70s, Simmons has staged scenes for her camera with dolls, ventriloquist dummies, mannequins, and occasionally people, to create images with intensely psychological subtext. By the early 1980s, Simmons was at the forefront of a new generation of artists, predominantly women, whose use of the media as subject began a new dialogue in contemporary art.
Alfred Kren Gallery (New York) is also presenting a retrospective, in this case of works by American artist Al Taylor. The show includes wall and floor pieces made of painted and unpainted wood and occasionally metal, which will be shown together with drawings. Taylor's pieces walk a tightrope between painting and sculpture, between drawing and object. His conventional drawings further underline his stretching of disciplines and categories, while also revealing his dry humor.

An exhibition of innovative new glass and sculptural furniture
The exhibition marks the culmination of a series of limited edition furniture and glass works that Sottsass has spent the last fifteen years designing which have rarely been shown outside of museums and has never been shown publicly in its entirety. Recognized for his uniquely subversive and counterintuitive vision, at 90 years of age, Ettore Sottsass continues to be one of the most influential architects working today. This vision, expressed in the upcoming exhibition of new studio pieces, brings together a lifetime exploration of material, color and form into their most elegant and seductive application yet.

Aperture Foundation, the internationally renowned non-profit organization dedicated to promoting photography in all its forms, and AIPAD (The Association of International Photography Art Dealers) have joined forces to present "The Passionate Eye II"—a special day dedicated to collecting photographs to take place Sunday, October 14, 2007. This is the second year this event has been presented; last year's "The Passionate Eye" was an unqualified success.
"The Passionate Eye II" will consist of three insightful presentations by a range of prominent photography collectors, each in dialogue with an esteemed writer or curator, followed by a special advice session with appraisers. This program provides an unprecedented opportunity for both new and experienced collectors to hear a variety of expert opinions on current trends in collecting, what constitutes a great collection, and where the industry is headed from some of the most knowledgeable people in the field of photography today.

An exhibition of new works by gallery artists Erik Sandberg, Avish Khebrehzadeh and Zoë Charlton. This contemporary collector's cabinet features recent drawings created by three accomplished artists working in individual pictorial modes. Each demonstrates his or her skillful handling of line in works that explore conscience, memory and identity construction. Emphasizing masterful drawing as a fundamental element of their art, Sandberg, Khebrehzadeh and Charlton reaffirm the historical significance of artistic virtuosity.
Erik Sandberg will exhibit the first drawings he has created as presentation works, Glutt her Maw, Cruelty and Patience, rendered in graphite and gouache. A selection of Sandberg's colored pencil working studies for multi-figure paintings on panel and large-scale single-figure paintings on canvas and panel will also be shown. Sandberg creates realistic imagery based on observation of live models, construing behavioral compulsions and aberrations as mirrors of human vice. In Art Papers (Feb./Mar. 2007) George Howell remarked on a series of the artist's life-sized figural paintings, "His new work's format demands the kind of exhibition space found in museums, but are these institutions interested in allegorical realism? Certainly, they should be interested in Erik Sandberg's." This presentation of domestically-scaled drawings provides an unprecedented opportunity for collectors to engage intimately with works that manifest Sandberg's initial artistic responses to his models and reveal previously undisclosed stages of his creative process.

October 13th, 2007 - Miami Design District
Approximately one in seven women will be diagnosed with breast cancer, the current statistic. The need to make women of all ages aware of this staggering statistic will come to life with an innovative photographic exhibit by Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer Ginny Dixon, the "One in Seven" Project. It will feature a collection of photographs celebrating breast cancer survivors and their respective family and friends.
The Event will mark the launch of www.erasebreastcancer.org an innovative non-profit website dedicated to propagating breast health awareness. EBC distinguishes itself from existing websites that typically focus on early detection and post-cancer support, in that EBC's content focuses on teaching visitors about the known causes, modifiable factors, and practical ways to reduce the body's vulnerability to the disease. EBC's purpose is to serve women's best interest, or shall we say, "breast interest". Founder Penny Shaw and co-founder Tanija Constantaras will be on site heading the launch celebration.

@ PULSE LONDON
The photographer Massimo Vitali was born in Como in 1944 and studied photography in Milan and London. He has been working exclusively in photography for 25 years. In the focus of Massimo Vitali's artistic interest stands the social ongoing at places of leisure and consumerism. Till the shoot he dwells for a while on a platform of 4 to 5 metres high so that the mugged people look as if they are unaware of the presence of the camera. On the brink of voyeurism his photos show reality without any beautification by a revision. In its simple and straight way of representation the viewer is confronted with crowded beaches, densely populated discos, shopping centres, leisure parks and supermarkets on enormous photos. They are unmistakable, detailed event-photos which show the influences of his long lasting work as a photographer as well as they bear resemblances to history painting.

Karina Wisniewska & Nicole Soden Oct 13 – Nov 3 2007
Opening reception: Saturday Oct 13th 7 pm
Two solo exhibitions opening on October 13, 2007 during the Wynwood Art District second Saturday gallery walk. Karina Wisniewska: Poetic Spaces will be on view in the main gallery and Nicole Soden: Shhh… in the project room. Poetic Spaces features the new work by Swiss artist Karina Wisniewska. These abstract works combine music and painting to form a lively symbiosis that derives its power from the opulence of the moment. It is from the moment, the here and now, that the colours and the structures that paint our world arise. With virtuosity and nevertheless straight from the heart, the artist probes boundaries way beyond the actual canvas to create poetic spaces. The lines of colour – acrylic streaks enriched with natural or dyed quartz sand – are full of apparent fluidities, reflections and intangibilities. All is open and all, at the same time, seems structured. An order of chance and structure that creates a new reality of space and time. Such works may also evoke a kind of visual hunger that drives us to explore the potential complexity of a painting's shape, surface, and materials, as well as making us more sensitive to the surrounding environment such as the walls or other paintings in close proximity. Wisniewska's painting is one of time and movement. It is not static, and its balance is fragile. The lines, which thicken and grow thinner again, seem to shift. They merge into one another, forming a gently billowing tissue. At times they allow the eye to penetrate through them; at times they conceal what lies beneath. Also on view, Nicole Soden: Shhh… in the Project Room. The piece Shhh... is a short film documentation of a performance/interaction with an installation created entirely out of clear glass. At its core, this piece is an exploration of vulnerability and sound. Edited to recreate the tension and release of a sexual climax, Soden hopes to invoke a reaction that is at once both disturbing and satisfying. As the film loops, subtle metaphors emerge between the body and the glass vessels. The film is accompanied by an installation of glass resembling the original found in the film. Drawings, rendered in ink, silver point and gouache will be included to recreate provocative imagery found in the film.

VIP Preview: Oct 11 3pm-6pm
Vernissage: Oct 11 6pm-10pm
Mattia Bonetti, André Dubreuil, Shao Fan, Peter Ting, WOKmedia, XYZ Design
Shanghai-based Contrasts Gallery's stand at Design London will present industrial design in a Chinese context and challenge Western preconceptions of industrial design, which are limited to designs made by industry. In China, where there is neither industry nor advanced technology and materials, designers are working with artisans who specialise in Chinese art and craft to realise their works. Contrasts Gallery has commissioned international and Chinese multi-disciplinary artists and designers to use "traditions" to create handmade artworks that speak of contemporary Chinese culture and its reaction to 5,000 years of Chinese traditions and social issues.

Installation date: Monday, October 8, 2007 at the Sagamore Art Hotel
 Contemporary artist Spencer Tunick is widely celebrated for his elaborately posed installations of multiple nude figures within interestingly select public settings. His temporary site-specific installations have taken place across the globe in cities including Lyon, Melbourne, Mexico City, New York and Barcelona to name a few. Tunick gathers legions of volunteers to take part in his elaborate installations which in the past have drawn numbers well into the thousands.

 On September 28th, 2007, the 12th ART FORUM BERLIN opens its doors with a selection of Berlin, German, and international galleries. Spurred by Berlin's reputation as the place for contemporary art, the exhibitors have put together programs and presentations, ambitious as never before, that show the art of our time. 136 galleries from 23 countries - plus 4 institutions and 16 publishing houses - from Europe, Asia, Australia, the USA, and Central America present the current production of their stars and newcomers. Once again, the ART FORUM BERLIN will provide space for new discoveries, enable re-encounters with artists, and demonstrate its exceptional position as an exhibition-style fair for contemporary art with extraordinary stand presentations.

Sept 8 - Oct 6 2007 Wynwood Art District Miami
Real Time addresses issues of allotted time such as in art and the creation of it or in space and life in general. Art plots history because of the way it distills or filters everything we can experience in any way. Time whether real or simply understood to be real can be art itself, it functions as a creator because time is simultaneously a point of arrival and a point of departure. Time has been a topic of concern since the beginning of human existence from philosophers to saints to artists to writers to everyday people. Real time depends truly on who is speaking and who is being spoken to. The show brings together new works by Andrew Guenther, Aramis Gutierrez, Quisqueya Henriquez, Nayef Homsi, Pepe Mar, Leyden Rodriguez-Casanova, Adam Shecter, Frances Trombly, and Wendy Wischer.

Gagosian Gallery
For more than a decade Sachs has pondered the homespun technical ingenuity and romance with the unknown that brought America the Apollo program. Experimenting with models of varying scale (Lunar Module (1:18), 1999; Crawler, 2003) has culminated in the realization of his own life-size SPACE PROGRAM. Pirating the milestone in collective memory when man took his first walk on the moon, Sachs reconstructs its key components, built to scale his way. By recollecting this historic event as a custom-made experience from the free domain of public imagination, he renders it totally in and of our time, charged by a vigorous artistic idiom that is ambivalent to the core. In a new twist on his shameless cannibalizing of corporate identity, Sachs now has the giants of high-style branding – Nike, Prada, and the like – working for him to produce items (lab coats, space boots) for the detailed inventory of his funky space odyssey. Through Oct 13 2007. "Going to the moon was the best art project of the twentieth century." - Tom Sachs

BFAS Blondeau presents an exhibition by the American artist Louise Lawler entitled Louise Lawler: The Tremaine Pictures 1984-2007. Born in 1947 in Bronxville/NY, Louise Lawler lives and works in Brooklyn. A member of the Appropriationist Movement (alongside figures such as Richard Prince, Cindy Sherman, Sherrie Levine, Jenny Holzer and Barbara Kruger), Louise Lawler began her career in the late nineteen-seventies. Photographing works of art, she repositions them by examining both the way in which the public reacts to such works and the place that they occupy in the spatial, social or economic environment.

Undercurrent Arts
Wynwood Art District Miami
Frank Cole's The Violent Local Maps Series is comprised of Florida map paintings depicting faintly exaggerated, ill-advised, man-made, landscape recovery projects and natural weather events that reflect our fears. The Florida map/image becomes a gestalt of both the fear of the uncontrollable and man's folly of trying to dominate or contain the environment in ill-advised, conceited ways. Frank Cole began the series in 1990, while he was living in Florida and teaching at Ringling School of Art and Design. The first painting in the series, Rogue Wave, pre-dates the Asian tsunami by fifteen years. Cole was also one of the first people bringing supplies to the victims of Hurricane Andrew in 1992. After a ten year hiatus, Cole resumed the series in 2004. Cole received his BFA in 1971 from Virginia Commonwealth University and his MFA in 1973 from Yale University. Cole has had solo exhibitions in Virginia, Washington DC, and Florida. Collections include The Virginia Museum of Fine Art, CSX, Federal Reserve Bank, Ethyl Corp, Best Products, Wheat First Securities, City of Portsmouth Museum (VA), HyperLabs LLC, and many private collections.

With a wide selection of exhibitions, workshops and conferences on past and future trends, Istanbul confirms itself as a city with a strong artistic energy - and a developing design scene.

My Life With Nam June Paik @ Maya Stendhal Gallery
Maya Stendhal Gallery presents a solo show of pioneering video sculptor and multimedia artist Shigeko Kubota titled My Life With Nam June Paik, which runs from September 6 through October 20, 2007. As one of the first artists to explore the aesthetic, emotive, and technological properties of video, Kubota is largely responsible for video's acceptance as a legitimate art form. Her early video sculptures and performances broke new ground for women artists during the feminist art movement of the late 1960's and 1970's. On view are key works, some never before exhibited, which disclose Kubota's important contributions to contemporary art practice. At the same time, these works highlight the artist's special relationship with husband and collaborator Nam June Paik (1932-2006).

The Oldest Song We Know
In their solo exhibition, Megan and Murray McMillan comment on the vulnerability of man-made civilizations. They have built a model city out of clear Coroplast where photos of buildings from American cities --Chrysler Building, Space Needle, Reunion Tower etc.-- have been used as the city's façade to make an amalgamated city. In the video piece, the city is pulled and submerged by "humans" while accompanied by a minimalist song, the Seikilos epitaph, dated from 200 B.C., which is considered to be the oldest complete musical composition with lyrics. A tidal wave, made from plastic foam, spills from the gallery's window and floods the exhibition space. As part of the city floats on the tidal wave, the installation succeeds in bringing real time into the exhibition and interacts in tandem with the video.

Pan American Art Projects Wynwood Art District Miami
Sept 5 – Oct 10 2007
The three artists in the show are creating art in a playful mood. William Cannings is making a summer blast from inflated metal. Incorporating ephemera such as matchbooks and beads, with other unlikely materials such as nail polish, Tuchman repeats patterns of line and color, creating a visual labyrinth. Lucia Warck Meister installation in the project room is a philosophical reflection about time and existence.

Frederic Snitzer
Wynwood Art District Miami
Sept 8 - Oct 6 2007
In his first solo exhibition at the Fredric Snitzer Gallery, Timothy Buwalda presents ambitious, large scale paintings, and several mono-prints that investigate the theme of hope in the negative; or, to take it a step further, hope in negation. Buwalda uses wrecked cars as a metaphor for potential being squandered or not realized, but is ironically hopeful and quiet. The images weave back and forth between photorealism and abstraction.

Positions in Context: 2007 Grants Program ExhibitionSeptember 21, 2007 - October 28, 2007 The upcoming group exhibition, Positions in Context: 2007 CIFO Grants Program Exhibition, will showcase new work by 10 talented young artists from Latin America who were selected to receive grants in 2007 from the Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation, known as CIFO. On view from September 21 to October 28 at CIFO Art Space, the exhibition is the culmination of a year-long process during which the Foundation's international Advisory Committee and Board of the Directors identified the grant recipients, and the artists themselves developed new work to share with audiences in Miami. CIFO's 2007 grant recipients hail from different countries in Latin America and were selected on the basis of their individual efforts. The artists featured in the exhibition are: Alberto Baraya (Colombia), Fredi Casco (Paraguay), Donna Conlon (Panama), Adriana García Galán (Colombia), Renata Lucas (Brazil), Luis Molina-Pantin (Venezuela), Angel Poyon (Guatemala), collaborators Cecilia Szalkowicz & Gastón Pérsico (Argentina), Emilio Valdés (Mexico), and Hector Zamora (Mexico). While diverse in their artistic practices and perspectives, the artists have produced works for Positions in Context that are contextual and/or site-specific in nature. Several of the works involve the artists' cultural, political, geographical or/and human contexts while others entail a site-specific practice, involving the physical space as well as the viewer. www.cifo.org

MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART
SEP 7 - NOV 11, 2007
The Museum of Contemporary Art presents the first American survey of the work of Karen Kilimnik from September 7 – November 11, 2007. Kilimnik draws upon imagery from popular consumer culture, historical events and literature to create a new romanticism that is at once seductive and unnerving. Kilimnik, who was born in Philadelphia in 1957, is widely considered one of the most influential artists of her generation. This critically acclaimed survey incorporates her rich body of work from the 1980s to the present with over 90 paintings, drawings, photographs, assemblage, and installations. Kilimnik has created a new installation especially for the MOCA presentation. Karen Kilimnik is organized by the Institute of Contemporary Art at the University of Pennsylvania and curated by Ingrid Schaffner, ICA Senior Curator. Ms. Schaffner will lead a guided tour of the exhibition at 7 pm on September 7. The MOCA presentation of Karen Kilimnik is sponsored by UBS, Francie Bishop Good and David Horvitz, Sue Hancock and Funding Arts Network. A fully-illustrated hard bound scholarly catalogue will accompany the exhibition. www.mocanomi.org --> --> --> --> --> End .post --> --> --> --> --> --> Begin comments --> --> --> --> --> --> End comments --> --> --> --> --> --> Begin .post --> Diego Bianchi - Project Room: Frankie Martin

Her impressive résumé is testament to her talents, the young artist having exhibited extensively throughout the United States, as well as in Asia and Europe.

Designed as a low-impact, highly insulated, and well-conditioned response to the extreme climate, the Museum is elevated on structural supports 20 feet above the patterned ground. Minimal surface area contact enables as little heat transfer as possible to the thermally sensitive permafrost.

"The concept behind Luna is the idea of marrying two materials together in a setting that highlights the differences and similarities of each, and invites consumers to take part in creating an area within the home that encourages visual exploration and tactile effect," says the designer. Luna marks Adams' commitment to Earth's natural landscape by utilizing technologies that limit waste: All aluminum used in Luna is recycled, and the oil used to heat up the metals during production is recycled car oil.

Wanker's work is ultimately a series of paradoxes and complexities; his subjects demand to be looked at and yet their faces betray nothing. He simultaneously critiques and mimics advertising; his works resemble advertisements formally yet they have none of the opulence. Although he seems to suggest there is a certain soulless-ness to his subjects, he is also apparently buying into the culture, replicating t-shirt slogans to transform his paintings into adverts themselves. He even seamlessly inscribes the title of the piece across the canvas, labeling the painting as an advertisement for itself, subtly branding it a commodity and ushering in a whole host of new complexities regarding the contemporary art market.

Gallery Walk Reception : Jul 14 2007 7:30pm
Through Aug 4, 2007 Wynwood Art District Miami
This exhibition features the sculpture and installations created by artist Margaret Kosyk. Her work is inspired by current events and is implemented in a wide variety of mediums, from wood to plaster, resin, wax, metal, found objects, fabric, paper, etc. This variety of material comes from the variety of the sources of Kosyk's inspiration. It is almost as if she is creating "portraits" of the events that inspire her, and each portrait follows the form and feel of that event. Although her work often touches on political themes, she does not consider herself a political artist. Instead she uses her perception of global events to get a deeper understanding of personal day to day conflicts which in turn give a new insight into each event. Margaret studied fine art at Georgia State University and received a bachelor's degree in industrial design from Auburn University in 1991. She also worked as a designer in Chicago, IL and attended the sculpture and installation program at the School of Visual Arts in New York. Undercurrent Arts 2563 N. Miami Ave, Miami, FL 33127

The performance takes place at the Theater Basel on Monday, June 11 at 7 p.m. The event is open to the public. Admission is free. Art Basel has invited a number of artists to create works, in association with the Theater Basel, that are particularly suited for presentation on a large stage.

They benefit from the extra-ordinary infrastructural facilities offered by one of Europe's most distinguished theaters.

Art 38 Basel: Crossroads of the International Art World
The 38th edition of Art Basel takes place in the museum city of Basel (Switzerland) from June 13 through 17, 2007. It is the world's leading art show and annual meeting place of the international art world. Over 55,000 visitors and approximately 2,000 media representatives are expected. Some 300 galleries from all continents have been selected to participate. They will be showing works by over 2,000 artists of the 20th and 21st centuries. «Art On Stage,» presented by Art Basel in association with the Theater Basel, makes its debut this year. The partnership is an ideal platform for visual artists who need a large stage and an auditorium for their projects. «Art On Stage» will be inaugurated by Hugo Boss Prize-winning Thai artist Rirkrit Tiravanija with his performance «An Untitled Concert.» Another new addition this year is the «Artists Lounge» designed for Art Basel by students of the renowned Städelschule in Frankfurt am Main. Running under the title «Plenty of Liberti es,» the project has resulted in a remarkable 350m2 lounge space. Further special sectors feature one-person shows of young artists, editions and multiples, artist films, artist records, and public art projects. The «Art Unlimited» exhibition, presenting over 70 large-scale projects, and «Art Basel Conversations,» with distinguished panelists, represent further highlights. On Thursday, June 14, Pritzker Prize-winning Japanese architect Tadao Ando will be talking about art and architecture. One of his new museum projects will also be introduced in the Art Institutions sector (Hall 1).
Every form of artistic expression will be represented at Art 38 Basel, the repertoire ranging from paintings, drawings, editions, and sculptures to installations, performance work, and internet and video art. Works costing a few thousand dollars by young, yet-to-be discovered artists will be on display alongside museum-quality masterpieces priced in the millions. The «Art Unlimited» hall will be showcasing ambitious large-scale projects such as can be seen at no other art fair in the world. Exhibition Square in front of Art Basel will provide a platform for art projects in public space. Nine projects by Wim Delvoye, Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset, Anish Kapoor, Tadashi Kawamata, Paul McCarthy, Mike Nelson, Vedovamazzei, Not Vital, and Thomas Zipp will be displayed there during the international art show. The cultural institutions of the city will be staging accompanying events and mounting exhibitions focusing on such artists as Robert Gober, Jasper Johns, Brice Marden, E dvard Munch, the Situationists, and others.

New «Art on Stage»
«Art On Stage,» presented by Art Basel in association with the Theater Basel, makes its debut this year. The partnership is an ideal platform for visual artists who need a large stage and an auditorium for their projects. «Art On Stage» will be inaugurated by Hugo Boss Prize-winning Thai artist Rirkrit Tiravanija with his performance «An Untitled Concert.» The music will be provided by the well-known Basel Sinfonietta Orchestra. «Art On Stage» is curated by Jens Hoffmann.
«Art Unlimited»
«Art Unlimited» has approximately 70 unconventional works on show. The platform enables artists to exhibit works that can rarely be presented owing to spatial, temporal, technical, financial, contextual, or conceptual constraints. Works by such established artists as Ai Weiwei, Alighiero e Boetti, Allora + Calzadilla, Carl Andre, Daniel Buren, Alexander Calder, Bruce Conner, Carlos Garaicoa, David Hammons, Pierre Huyghe, Glenn Ligon, Allan McCollum, Annette Messager, Hélio Oiticica, Gregor Schneider, Jim Shaw, Catherine Sullivan, and Marijke van Warmerdam will be joined by a large number of pieces by young and little-known artists. Many of the works have been produced especially for «Art Unlimited.»
«Art Premiere»
Following its enormously successful debut last year, the special «Art Premiere» sector is being expanded from 12 to 16 galleries. This year's «Art Premiere» will be running under the heading of artists in dialogue and artists in juxtaposition. The 16 projects promise to provide fascinating, surprising, sometimes provocative confrontations. Works by artists representing different cultural backgrounds, different generations, or different artistic approaches will be set against each other. Pieces by 80-year-old Viennese Actionist Otto Mühl will, for example, be appearing alongside works by Mike Bouchet, an American artist born in 1970; Daniel Buren will be dialoguing with Paris-based Algerian artist Adel Abdessemed; and American artists Barbara Bloom and Zoe Leonard will be juxtaposing their artistic concepts.
«Art Statements»
The «Art Statements» sector is being expanded to include 26 one-person shows of young artists this year. The 26 artists from 16 countries were selected from 250 applications. For over 10 years now, «Art Statements» has been providing young artists with a special platform that brings them to the attention of an international audience of curators, collectors, and the media. The 26 projects promise art enthusiasts fascinating discoveries and intriguing encounters with the work of the latest generation of artists. The exhibition platform is complemented by a bookstore, a video library, a cafeteria, and the «Art Lobby» forum, where artists, art mediators, and the public have several opportunities daily to meet and exchange ideas.
«Art Basel Conversations»
Prominent art collectors, museum directors, artists, and art patrons will be discussing subjects connected with collecting and exhibiting art. The premiere of this year's Art Basel Conversations, on Monday, June 11, features Emilia and Ilya Kabakov in conversation with philosopher Boris Groys.
On Tuesday Chris Dercon (Haus der Kunst, Munich), Alfred Pacquement (Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris), Nicholas Serota (Tate, London), Lars Nittve (Moderna Museet, Stockholm), and Peter Weibel (ZKM Karlsruhe) will be discussing «The Future of the Museum: Europe.» Hosts: Hans Ulrich Obrist, Beatrix Ruf (Director, Kunsthalle Zurich).
«Art Collections as Cultural Heritage» is the topic on Wednesday, June 13. The panel is composed of Bernhard Mendes Burgi (Kunstmuseum Basel), Mikhail Piotrovsky (Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg), Klaus-Peter Schuster (Staatliche Museen, Berlin), Wilfried Seipel (Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna), and Giandominico Romaneli (Venice Museums). Host: Peter Aspden (arts writer for the Financial Times).
The discussion on Thursday is devoted to «Artists: Production - Coproduction - Overproduction.» Panelists are Christian Boltanski, Martin Creed, and Jimmie Durham. Host: John Armleder.
Under the heading of «Featured Artists,» Daniel Buren will be talking to Daniel Birnbaum (Director and Professor, Städelschule Art Academy and Portikus Gallery, Frankfurt-am-Main) on Saturday, June 16, and French artist Bertrand Lavier will be in conversation with Jean-Hubert Martin (curator, Paris) on Sunday, June 17.
«Public Art Projects»
The exhibition area in front of the buildings hosting the international art show is once again scheduled to become an arena for art projects in public space. Nine projects by such internationally recognized artists as Wim Delvoye, Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset, Anish Kapoor, Tadashi Kawamata, Paul McCarthy, Mike Nelson, Vedovamazzei, Not Vital, and Thomas Zipp will be installed there. Their artistic interventions will be connecting with the daily lives of passersby in ways now poetic, now alienating or surprising.
«Artist Records»
After presenting special exhibitions of artist books for the last two years, this year Art Basel focuses its special exhibition on sound recordings produced or designed by artists (Jack Goldstein, Rodney Graham, Jutta Koether, Christian Marclay, Carsten Nicolai, Genesis P-Orridge, and many others). The exhibition will be accompanied by information events and presentations in the presence of the artists.
«Art Film»
The «Art Film» sector once again has a top-flight program of new films by and about artists in store at the Stadtkino Basel. «Art Film» is curated by Benjamin Weil, Executive Director of Artists Space, New York. This Brunner, a collector with profound knowledge of the international film scene, and artist John Armleder will each be organizing an evening with special guests.
«Professional Day»
«Professional Day,» which is geared to museum professionals, art dealers, and collectors, takes place on Friday, June 15, between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Exhibitors will be staging special activities or rehanging part of their booths for the occasion. Hall 1, housing Art Unlimited, Art Statements, Artist Records, and Art Institutions, opens to the general public at 11 a.m. Admission to Hall 2 between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Friday is by invitation only.

The exhibition opens to the public in the Giardini della Biennale, Venice, Italy on 10 June and runs through 21 November 2007. Cuban-born American citizen, Gonzalez-Torres will represent the United States in the American Pavillion. He is best known for his immensely generous yet rigorously conceptual art in the form of endlessly replenishable paper stacks, take-away candy spills, light strings, beaded curtains, and public billboards. With its minimalist refinement and quiet referentiality, his work treads a fine line between social commentary and personal disclosure, equivocating between the two realms and obscuring the culturally-determined distinctions that separate them. Shifting from cultural activism to intimate, autobiographical dimensions—and subsequently eroding the boundaries between — Gonzalez-Torres used the aesthetic allure of his art to stage a subtle critique of social injustice and intolerance.

Undercurrent Arts Juan Calle – The Eighth Day
Opening Saturday, April 14, 2007 at 7PM - 2563 N. Miami Ave. in Miami, Fl
La Ultima Tortuga (The Last Turtle)
El Octavo Dia (The Eighth Day) The earth is on the verge of a new massive extinction of the species. Life sustaining processes are in danger due to mankind's expansion. Why is it has to be so aggressive and destructive ? It´s an answer nobody has. From a specific workflow developed for this project there are two key components. The abstract, expressionist yellow – red brush strokes, captured in a scanner using colored pigments and organic elements. These patterns caused by the filaments - like fluids have been likened to the work of Jackson Pollock. Due to his technical expertise Calle's ideas are flawless executions printed on very strong visuals. This way he combines scanner captures with google earth images, and straight photography, which are combined and optimized digitally. Many of his photographs are in private collections in Colombia including Banco de la Republica and Beatriz de Santodomingo, as well as private collections in Europe and the United States. In 2006, his work was presented at the IX Bienial de Arte at Museo de Arte Moderno in Bogotá, the XXV National Photographic Exhibition in Medellin, and the ACA Gallery in Toronto, Canada.

photo MIAMI in New Location
VIP Reception December 5 - PRIVATE EVENT REQUIRES INVITATION
photo MIAMI, which will be held for the first time during Art Basel Miami Beach 2006 in the SOHO Building located at 2136 NW 1st Avenue at NW21st St in the Wynwood Art District. The location has changed from the previously announced address to accommodate an increase in the number of galleries chosen to participate. In addition, photo MIAMI will host a lecture series featuring Andres Serrano, Carrie Mae Weems and Enrique Martinez Celaya on Friday, December 8th at the Miami Art Museum, 101 West Flagler St from 1 - 4 P.M.
Lecture Series:
1pm: Enrique Martinez Celaya - "Photography as Grief" will explore grief, the implication of nostalgia and recollection in photography. --Celaya will suggest that photography, rather than being that desired embodiment of objectivity, is in fact the best vehicle of the subjectivity, which shapes the form of grief. And that the more photographers try to distance themselves from metaphysics and the subjective, the more they move towards the emotion of loss and, therefore, grief. MartInez Celaya's paintings, photographs and sculptures have been exhibited widely in the United States, Europe and Latin America, and are in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and others. In 2004 he created the first art environment ever to be shown at the Berliner Philharmonie.
2pm: --Carrie Mae Weems Considered one of the most influential contemporary American artists, Carrie Mae Weems has investigated yearning, loss, cultural identity, and the visual consequences of power throughout her world-renowned career. In this talk, Weems focuses attention on her most recent efforts in film, video, and photography, including her latest series. An engaging, popular, and highly-regarded speaker, Weems is represented in public and private collections around the world, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the Museum of Modern Art. --Her work has also been featured in Dak'Art, the Biennale of Contemporary Art in Senegal, the Johannesburg Biennale in South Africa, and the Whitney Biennial in the United States.
3pm: Andres Serrano - Andres Serrano is an American photographer who has perhaps become most known through his photos of corpses, as well as his controversial work "Piss Christ", a red-tinged photograph of a crucifix submerged in a glass container of the artist's own urine. His talk will cover highlights of his career as well as a preview of his new series Cycads, the oldest plants on the planet, except for ferns. Serrano's Cycads are only an apparent deviation in his artistic path. For the first time, the artist addresses a subject that is not directly related to the human body. The artist's rediscovered taste for detail produces a purely visual, instinctual and decidedly lyrical viewing experience. Surrealistic accents, exaggerated vividness, careful framing and a discerning use of light all create a monumental aspect to the photographed object. Serrano's work has been exhibited in locations as varied and prestigious as the Episcopal Cathedral of Saint John the Divine in New York City and a retrospective at the Barbican Arts Centre in London (2001). The New-York-born artist studied from 1967 to 1969 at the Brooklyn Museum and Art School, and lives and works in New York. --> --> --> --> --> End .post --> --> --> --> --> --> Begin comments --> --> --> --> --> --> End comments --> --> --> --> --> --> Begin .post --> DURING ART BASEL WEEK PETER SEIDLER: THE PROTECTORS AND ANIMAL POWERS

SNEAK PREVIEW: TUESDAY, DECEMBER 5TH, 6PM-9-PM (Private Reception by Invitation Only)
VERNISSAGE: THURSDAY, DECEMBER 7TH, 8PM-12AM (Private Event by Invitation Only)
Regular Hours: Wednesday, December 6, 11am - 6pm / Thursday, December 7, 11am - 12am / Friday, December 8, 11am - 8pm / Saturday, December 9, 11am - 12am / Sunday, December 10, 11am - 7pm
Nyehaus and Foundation 20 21 are pleased to present an extraordinary group of sculptures and paintings by revolutionary artist Peter Seidler. Seidler's installation The Protectors and Animal Powers is an ecstatic presentation of militarized beings. These manufactured objects internalize the pre-industrial order and portray material instantiations of immaterial systems. The seed vocabulary for this work combines several systems of language, iconography and technology in a new turbulence: the language of twenty-first century science fiction fantasy, the wrathful deities of the Himalayas, contemporary weapon systems, and classical statuary. The wrathful deity statues of earlier eras sought to depict enlightened or uplifted forms of aggression in warrior cultures. Today, as we slide toward a future that may be unthinkable, we are seeing a worldwide upsurge in the
production and dispersal of militarized beings. This is the discursiveness of aggression. Seidler's Protectors are warriors made of munitions: missiles, machine guns, bullet rounds and soldier's uniforms. Bearing features that are part-man and part-machine, they evoke sensations that are dangerous yet potentially benign. The Protectors investigates martial consciousness grown monstrous, consuming the identity of both individuals and societies. The enlightened warriors have been invoked and converted through mechanisms and systems designed to improve
performance and responsiveness. These militarized bodies inhabit networked information spaces and technologies that convey location in real time and enable inconceivably complex weaponry to function. Their
armaments include internal systems to facilitate monitoring by means of mind-computer communications and an abundance of sensory displays. Specifically, The Protectors demonstrate both violence and benevolence, or as Seidler states, "the uplifted warriorship or enlightened aggression necessary to advance to states of compassion."
Seidler's Animal Powers series, a bestiary of six sculptures envisions one possibility of what a post-human world might look like. The animals perch in taxidermied poses on free-floating bits of their respective habitats, like salvage from a dismantled natural history museum. In Animal Powers we enter a dystopia, a futuristic world of
customized North American animals. Their augmented senses enable them to gather real-time frontline data from overhead surveillance and attack systems. Their high-performance militarized technological
adaptations are based on amplification of qualities specific to each animal. The modifications are intended to enhance lethality, speed of communication, and the collation of information during attacks. Here we see animal powers arising from complex bio-systems reengineered for combat's future. Like The Protectors, each Animal Power appears to be very much alone, eternally prepared for an invisible, unknowable enemy who may strike at a given moment or who might not even show up. It is worth noting that Seidler had The Protectors and Animal Powers fabricated in Delhi, in a factory that more typically produces life-size gods that are displayed in temples or paraded in festivals and then floated down the river. The prodigious sculptures, life-size and fantastic, are carved from clay mounted on a metal and wood armature, then cast in fiberglass; thus, an old-fashioned technique applied to a high-tech material in one of the world's most outsourcing-friendly nations yields intriguing specimens of the global economy. Seidler, who attended CalArts in the late 1980s and the Whitney Independent Study Program in the early 1990s, spent the recent decadebuilding Avalanche, a collaborative conceptual art project that quickly transformed itself into a pioneering Web-design company. Avalanche then merged with Razorfish to become one of the world's leading Web-development firms. Peter Seidler's The Protectors and Animal Powers will be on view in the Madonna Building, 3940 N. Miami Avenue in the Miami Design District, during Art Basel Miami Beach. Nyehaus is a commercial project space founded by devoted contemporary art collector and curator Tim Nye. In addition, Nyehaus commissions new works in order to expand and enliven the dialogue within an artist's oeuvre. Foundation 20 21 is a New York based arts organization and collecting entity with a mission to nourish exchanges among artists, writers, historians and philosophers as well as to present to a wider audience some of the most arresting work being produced in our increasingly complex visual culture.

Rising stars: North Latin Americans
A project for Art Loves Design, as part of the Public Program of Art Basel Miami Beach 2006 presented by nmprojects, sponsored by nina menocal invited curator Daniela Wolf invited architects for floor plan Atelier Morales. nmprojects will be presenting Rising stars: North Latin Americans, curated by Daniela Wolf, at the Lidia Building, as part of the programming of Art Basel Miami Beach 2006. The idea is to select a few very talented and rising artists originally from Mexico and Cuba, who geographically and culturally are North Americans (and who live and work anywhere in the Western World), and to demonstrate the thin keen line that differentiates them from other Latin American artists from the South of the Continent. Most people are not aware of this rare and subtle nuance that differentiates the North Latin Americans and gives them a sui generis identity. Latin people are often perceived by the citizens of the United States and Europeans as being South Americans, in the sense that they come from --South of the Border--. These are sensitive generalities that have to do with a complicated theme: identity. We are not going deeper into the theme; only to say that, in fact, Mexico, The United States and Canada belong to North America. Mexicans and Cubans are linked to the United States, if only because of a geographic accident that makes them close neighbors. The identity of the North Latin Americans becomes sui generis as their reality, for better or for worse, is different -historically and culturally- to that of the South Americans. The culture of the North Latin Americans has developed in contrast to the strength of the United States, determined by its nearness and by its strong influence in mass media. Mexicans and Cubans, whether they have migrated to the USA or not, and whether they are in the process of incorporating themselves to the American way of life, have an ambiguous relationship with the United States. Some love it and some hate it; there is an extraordinary desire to become part of the now not so simple American Dream and there is a will to remain distant and distinct. Specially in the cultural range, the North Latin Americans remain reserved from their powerful neighbor and/or host. This takes us back to cultural differentiation, which can be considered by many as a great value. In respect to this exhibition, the works of rising artists originally from Mexico and Cuba become the contemporary Latin links between North, South and Central America and Europe. No matter where they live in the Western World (it is to be noted that not all of them choose the USA), these artists are North Latin Americans. Their works of art address, in an ironical way, the longings of Mexicans and Cubans to belong and at the same time differentiate themselves. Some works also speak about the role of the so called Third World artists in relation to the mainstream, generally defined by Institutions and artists from the United States and Europe.
nmprojects is a nomad space sponsored by nina menocal gallery and specially designed for young curators and artist-curators from Mexico and abroad. The idea is for them to present their contemporary 21st Century art proposals, events, projects and programs either at the gallery or at any other available space, nationally and/or internationally. Inaugurated in 2004.
Daniela Wolf, the invited curator, has worked during the last 5 years as Coordinator of the Cultural Department at the Goethe-Institut, Mexico. Also in Mexico City, she is a founding member of Laboratorio Curatorial 060, the successful and brilliant curatorial team since its appearance in 2003.

A forum organized by Art Basel Miami Beach in collaboration with Bvlgari. The coming program consists of a series of thematic panel discussions based around the three subjects of «Art Collections», «The Future of the Museum in Latin America», and «Architecture for Art». Leading museum directors, curators, collectors, and artists such as Dan Graham, Carlos Cruz-Diez, Pedro Reyes, Jorgé Pardo, Ai WeiWei, and many others will be participating as panelists and then meeting with the audience. This initiative reflects the commitment of Art Basel to enhancing the exchange of ideas among the movers and shakers of the art world. Additionally, Art Basel Miami Beach is introducing a new, salon-style platform this year: «Art Salon». «Art Salon» will offer architects, publishers, curators, biennale directors, art collectors, critics, and artists an intimate framework within which to present their latest projects.
Fostering direct encounters with leading lights of the art world, «Art Basel Conversations» offers privileged access to first-hand information on aspects of collecting and exhibiting art. «Art Basel Conversations» is a forum encouraging the exchange of ideas by means of panel discussions and personal contact with the panelists. Participants include prominent artists, art collectors, and museum directors. Discussing their experiences and the challenges they face, they will provide an insider's view of the art scene. «Art Basel Conversations» is an open platform for dynamic and inspiring dialogue. From Friday, December 8, through Sunday, December 10, there will be «Art Basel Conversations» every day between 10 and 11.30 a.m. at the Art Guest Lounge, Entrance Hall (D) of the Miami Beach Convention Center. The events are public. Admission is free. On Friday, December 8, Irma Braman (collector; Miami), Sylvio Perlstein (collector; Paris), and Jordi Pujol (collector; Barcelona) will be engaging in a discussion under the title of «Memory and Collecting». The panel will be co-hosted by Richard Flood (Chief Curator, New Museum of Contemporary Art; New York City) and Julia Peyton-Jones, OBE (Director, Serpentine Gallery; London). The questions they will be addressing include: What are the challenges of a collection that spans a long period of time? How does collecting reflect personal history and build collective memory? How important are archiving and conservation for private collections? What are the checks and balances implicit in collecting cultural heritage? What do you hope will be the legacy you leave to future generations?
The Art Basel Conversation of Saturday, December 9, is devoted to «The Future of the Museum: Focus on Latin America». What will be the role of the local museum in a global society? How do art institutions in Latin America handle security and conservation issues? How do they collaborate with artists, galleries, and other museums? How are institutions funded, and is this funding sustainable? What is the political, social, or educational role of a museum? The panelists are Jennifer Allora (artist; Puerto Rico), Marcelo Araujo (Pinacoteca do Estado; São Paulo), Carlos Cruz-Diez (artist; Paris), Lidia Leon (Director, Centro Cultural Eduardo León Jimenes; Santo Domingo), Sebastian Lopez (Artistic Director, Daros Latinamerica; Rio de Janeiro), Natalia Majluf (Director, Museo de Arte de Lima), Ramiro Martinez (Director, Museo Tamayo Arte Contemporáneo; Mexico City), Marcelo Pacheco (Director, Malba Museum; Buenos Aires), Luis Pérez-Oramas (Adjunct Curator, Department of Drawings, The Museum of Modern Art; New York City), Virginia Pérez-Ratton (Director, TEOR/éTica; San José), Pedro Reyes (artist; Mexico City), and José Ignacio Roca (Co-Curator, São Paulo Bienal, 2006; Curator, Biblioteca Luis Angel Arango; Bogotá). Conversation co-hosts: Ivo Costa Mesquita (curator; São Paulo) and Hans Ulrich Obrist (Co-Director of Exhibitions and Programmes, Director of International Projects, Serpentine Gallery; London).
On Sunday, December 10, the discussion will revolve around «Architecture for Art: Artists Who Build». What role does the practice of building play in an artist's oeuvre? Can art be created on commission and when does an artist become an architect? How do artists balance building regulations and artistic priorities? How do form and function influence the artist's architectural projects? On the panel: Ryan Gander (artist; London), Dan Graham (artist; New York City), Jorgé Pardo (artist; Los Angeles), and Ai WeiWei (artist, curator, and architect; Beijing). Conversation host: Stefano Boeri (architect, Editor-in-Chief, Domus Magazine; Milan).
A comprehensive catalog published to accompany «Art Basel Conversations» contains the texts of all the panel discussions held both during Art 37 Basel in June 2006 and in China, plus biographies of all the participants and further useful information. Visitors to «Art Basel Conversations» will receive a complimentary copy of the publication.

TAVARES STRACHAN's The Distance Between What We Have and What We Want (Arctic Ice Project), 2004-06In March 2005 Strachan traveled to the Alaskan Arctic in search of a frozen river. Within several days he located one under the Arctic Circle. With the help of a skilled team, he cut into the frozen water to extract a 4.5 ton portion. While on exhibition, the ice sits in a glass freezer, which derives its power from a solar energy system, and so the power of the sun keeps this remnant of the Arctic intact, stable, and on view. Tavares Strachan was born in the Bahamas. He holds a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design and an MFA from Yale University.PIEROGI will also present work by: Dawn ClementsBrian DewanJames EsberJane FineTony FitzpatrickKate GilmoreJonathan HerderJohan NobellDavid ScherWard ShelleyJim TorokDaniel Zellerand others.

Daryoush Asgar's protagonists obey the imperative "You can be anything you want". They manifest the pleasure of self-projection, but meanwhile the social pressure of constantly having to redefine oneself. They thus move between ecstasy and nightmare, finding and losing themselves in the same instant. Their lack of identity is reflected in the generative process creating the pictures. The subjects do not have a real-life model, they are entities composed of clichés; they are models borrowed from popular haute couture, as representative of our contemporary consumer society. When transposing them into paint, the artist likewise expresses the blurring of borderlines between reality and appearance by employing a photo-realist rendering pervaded with a slight fuzziness.1975 born in Teheran1996-2000 Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna1996-2001 2002 Bauholding Strabag Art Award since 2002 he lives and works in Vienna and Berlin.

Open Air Cinema - Art Sound Lounge - Art Radio WPS1.org
Art Basel Miami Beach is launching a new Open Air Cinema forum: every evening music videos will be screened at Art Positions, the cultural meeting place right on the beach at South Beach. The program focuses on works that have revolutionized the genre. Art Positions will also be the headquarters for WPS1.org, the official Art Radio of Art Basel Miami Beach, which will be streaming live for three hours daily. The program features interviews with artists, curators, collectors, and art lovers from all over the world. This year's artist-DJ program, curated by Alanna Heiss and Klaus Biesenbach, places the accent on artist-DJs from Latin America: Le Spam, Las Chancletas Vanguardistas, Yoshua Okon, A Gentil Carioca, and others. Visitors interested in music and sound art will find a totally revamped Art Sound Lounge in the Miami Beach Botanical Garden. A comprehensive program of audio pieces by renowned and up-and-coming artists and musicians features music and sound pieces by and about plants, insects, and birds. This year Art Basel Miami Beach's cultural meeting place, Art Positions will be enhanced by an Open Air Cinema under the starry skies of South Beach. The Open Air Cinema features a broad variety of samples from the rich history of music video. The musicians and artists represented in this program have dealt with sound, music, and pop culture in a multiplicity of ways. The program centers on 5 subjects.
1. YelloYELLO revolutionized the electronic dance music of the 80s when multitalented artist Dieter Meier and sound wizard Boris Blank gained popularity, becoming forerunners of techno.
Known for the dazzling visual style of his numerous music videos, Dieter Meier has collected a variety of awards for his directing and camera work. YELLO's video clips can be found in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Kunsthaus in Zurich. In collaboration with Datasound, Zurich.
2. Electronic Arts Intermix ProgramIn collaboration with Electronic Arts Intermix, New York.
3. Music Video ArtA program of alternative music videos and music-based videos by artists, some of them playfully subverting the music video format by reworking and reinterpreting its rules and strategies. The screening includes works by Cory Arcangel, Dara Birnbaum, Meredith Danluck, Tony Oursler, Seth Price, and Wiliam Wegman. In collaboration with Electronic Arts Intermix, New York.
4. The Music Is YouThis program ranges from ironic video clips to sublime collisions of image and sound. Where, in mainstream music video, the song dominates the images, some of the artists in this program treat image and sound as equals in order to achieve real synergy. Including works by David Haines, Matthias Fritsch, Rineke Dijkstra, Joost Rekveld, Alexander Herzog, Benny Nemerofsky Ramsay. In collaboration with Impakt Festival, Utrecht.
5. The ResidentsThroughout their thirty-year history, the four members of the enigmatic San Francisco-based avant-garde band The Residents have refused to identify themselves, only performing in masks (usually in tuxedos with giant eyeballs and top hats). This program presents a selection of their musical and visual experiments. In collaboration with The Cryptic Corporation, San Francisco.

Dec 05 06 - Feb 02 07
Xavier Veilhan is one of the leading figures of the contemporary French art scene. His work embraces a broad range of media and plays upon various systems of representation: from a sculptural practice rooted in the tradition of public statuary to digitally generated imagery. The objects Veilhan creates are simultaneously anachronistic and high-tech, reflecting both traditional and futuristic approaches.

Opening reception: Saturday Dec 9th 7:30 to 10pm
Solo exhibitions during the Wynwood Art District second Saturday gallery walk. Sterz: Nothing created is of any ultimate use without hope in the main gallery and Daniel Verbis: El/Nudo/en/el/Laberinto in the project room. For his second solo exhibition at Diana Lowenstein Fine Arts, Sterz will create sculptural video installations that explore the structural potential of industrialized materials and the process of digital video. Through the interplay of these fluid video projections and rigid industrial materials, an inherent tension arises. The images often evoke the reverie one feels in the natural world, the play of light on water, the ephemeral nature of color and light contrasting with the endurance of matter. These minimal and geometrical installations are three-dimensional experiences that appear to emanate the video image from within. Ultimately, these sculptural layouts explore the highly charged and complex intersection between the digital and the industrial, the corporeal and the emotional, the temporal and the ephemeral. About Sterz: As constant recorder and observer of everyday life, Sterz is a self-taught artist who works with new media/video installation. His first medium, photography, expanded his perceptions and revealed to him new territories of observation and experience. At an early age, Sterz was exposed to industrial toxins. Now at the age of 42, he is wrestling with a brain tumor, which has caused the loss of motor control on the right side of his body and also challenges his language production and comprehension. He exhibits internationally and has participated in numerous international art fairs including Art Basel, Art Basel Miami Beach, Art Cologne and Art Chicago. Sterz has received grants from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation, N.Y.S. Foundation of the Art, N.Y.S. Council for the Art and residencies at Joshua Tree National Park, CA; Atlantic Center for The Arts, FL and Sculpture Space, NY.
In the project room, Daniel Verbis: El/Nudo/en/el/Laberinto. This space will feature new drawings, paintings and a mural that will intersect to become a site specific installation. Verbis currently has a solo exhibition on view at MUSAC (Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Castilla y León, Spain) through December 31st. MUSAC's curator Javier Hernando states, "Verbis has always conceived his work as an investigation process dealing, first of all, with the material and formal procedures of painting, and secondly, with language problems." Verbis will also have new work at Art Basel Miami Beach at Diana Lowenstein Fine Arts booth B17. About Daniel Verbis: Daniel Verbis obtained a degree in Fine Arts from the University of Salamanca in 1991. Since then he has presented almost twenty solo shows in such venues as Diana Lowenstein Fine Arts, Miami, FL; Ace Gallery, New York; and the Centro de Arte Caja de Burgos, Spain.
This reception is free and open to the public. The gallery will also be participating at Art Basel Miami Beach booth B17 from Dec 7-10 2006 at the Miami Beach Convention Center. --> --> --> --> --> End .post --> --> --> --> --> --> Begin comments --> --> --> --> --> --> End comments --> --> --> --> --> --> Begin .post --> FILM ART BASEL WEEK: NO RESTRAINT BY ALISON CHERNICK

Jesus Diaz de Vivar in Miami
About J. Diaz de Vivar: Jesus was born in Alicante Spain in 1975, somehow between the Movida and the end of General Franco's dictatorship. The young Jesus was sent with force by his parents at the age of 8 to Paris and successfully entered the Ballet School at the National Paris Opera, even if he had the hardest time in swapping his comfortable baggy shorts to the less comfortably lycra tights. At 13 years old he left Paris for the American Ballet Theatre in New York as a fructuous apprenticeship started in a more contemporary vision of ballet, but off stage he still continued to practice his traditional flamenco steps. At 16 he joined the National Ballet Company in Bonn Germany, and performed in the classical repertoire at the Berlin State Opera, while trying new experiences in choreography. But Europe was too small for him, so he decided to go "down under" to Australia where he hoped to learn aboriginal art and dance. Even if this language was fascinating for him, it was not enough for his mind and far away from what his soul was telling him to do. With the frustration an adolescent can feel, one morning he decided to end at once the dancing of his past and decided to change direction. After three years of studies, he obtained a college degree in fashion, graphic design and video at Sydney's KVB College of Arts and Visual Communication. Jesus went back to Europe and rapidly started to work for the Gucci Group, Pierre Balmain and Oscar de la Renta in New York. At this time his work was shown for the first time in on the window displays of Saks Fifth Avenue in New York, on the occasion of an Andy Warhol's retrospective. Today Jesus is still involved in the fashion scene. Meanwhile, his reflection, "en connaissance de cause" has evolved with the years, and is now focused towards the visual arts. After meticulous and time demanding day & night work, and every day reading the newspapers, it all came together in one concept and idea which Jesus has baptized: VANITY CASE OU CAS DE VANITE. His concept is to show the vanity that surrounds this debut of the 21st century.The project is developed in different steps and based on painting, graphics and video, and will evolve and include all the means that can appeal to the 5 senses, including music and perfume experiences, in a way to excite all man's senses. A book of his work called Vanity Case has been published in France and Germany. After showing in May 2006 in Barcelona Spain at the Boopaala gallery and in June 2006 in Paris at Saint Germain 3art exhibit, Jesus work will be presented for the first time in the US at Undercurrent Arts during Art Basel Week.

Influenced by the pioneers of light sculpture such as Dan Flavin and Bruce Nauman, these younger artists expand the capacity of light as a sculptural form to incorporate a surprising spectrum of associations and experiences. Artificial Light draws attention to electric light as the primary material but also signals interest in themes related to the concept of artifice: technology, nature, beauty and mystery. Featured artists are Jennifer Allora and Guillermo Calzadilla, Ceal Floyer, Spencer Finch, Ivan Navarro, Nathaniel Rackowe and Douglas Ross. Artificial Light is organized by VCU School of the Arts, Anderson Gallery in partnership with Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (VMFA) and is curated by John B. Ravenal, The Sydney and Frances Lewis Family Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at VMFA.

Live art under palm trees
Following the success of «Art Perform» in 2005, Art Basel Miami Beach continues its support of artists wor-king in the sphere of performance and live art in 2006 with the second edition of its performance program.«Art Perform» is a platform for emerging international ar-tists, who are invited to devise and present specially com-missioned site- and context-specific works. Selected by Jens Hoffmann, Director, CCA Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts, San Francisco, 7 artists from around the globe have created presentations that engage directly with the realities of Miami and the particular conditions of the art show. «Art Perform» is located at the exhibition and event venue in Collins Park on the beach, featuring along-side young galleries at «Art Positions», «Art Projects», the Open-Air Cinema, and appearances by artist-DJs.
The performance work by Carlos Amorales («Spider Monkey Drawing», 2006) is executed by performer Galia Eibenschutz, who will develop her movements for the piece on the basis of an imaginary spider web that she will place over the stage. The dancer will elaborate the character of a spider via invisible web lines along which she will move. Working with a performer means directing her through that imaginary space. It is an activity that implies intense silent mental and physical concentration. There will be no special costumes or distinctive set design, the idea being that what emerges is on the imaginary level, with the drawing as a mental projection insinuated by the dancer's move-ments.Date: December 8Time: 5pm
«Money – A Cautionary Tale» is a collaboration between six members of the Spartacus Chetwynd troupe from London and the medieval metal band «The Princes In The Tower». The six performers will mime different narratives to accompany the band's live set.
Each of these acts is a cautionary tale ramming home the moral fate of those who pursue self-interested financial gain. The scarred and carbuncled history of the Middle Ages is well documented by Boccaccio, Chaucer, Bruegel, and Bosch. These are the sources of this performance, along with Brecht's writing on folk theater and Bakhtin's «Rabelais and His World»: the urge is to let the carnevalesque surface in the context of Art Basel Miami Beach.Dates: December 7 and 8Time: 9pmDecember 10Time: 5pm
The short films by Joao Maria Gusmao & Pedro Pavia, which will be shown in a late night screening under the name «The Magnetic Effluvium», are part of a philosophical enquiry relating to a thematic recovery of a fictional meteorological phenomenon. In one of his novels («The Man Who Laughs»), Victor Hugo speaks of a terrifying snowstorm at sea. The author goes on to speculate over the scientific possibility of such an occurrence, arguing that the chaotic wind and wave effects are driven by polar magnetism. The implications of this event confront us with an epistemological paradox: how does the literary fiction of an unimaginable storm deal with the impossibility of a description and, by extension, the impossibility of representation. Victor Hugo sets a sort of enigmatic chaos or vortex in motion: the empirical motion of the Magnetic Effluvium is circumvented in order to present chaos as a «multiple effect theory» relating to one fundamental cause, the shipwreck.Date: December 9Time: 9:30pm
«Object Relations» is the result of a two-month open rehearsal process between dancer/actor Nina Fog and artist Daria Martin. Fog has worked intensively with Martin before, starring in her films «Soft Materials», 2005, and «Wintergarden», 2005. But this live performance process has afforded a new start for them: a chance to play openly over time. Fresh from a summer dance workshop with dance pioneer Anna Halprin, who teaches methods for unself-conscious improvisation based on internal impulses as well as the natural environment, Martin is keen to test these methods against the highly self-conscious and artificial environment of an art show. The result is a headlong journey into movement and voice, body and costume, prop and prosthetic, drawing from techniques of Butoh and Soviet theater as well as Halprin's organic approach.Date: December 9Time: 9pm
For the duration of Art Basel Miami Beach 2006, Canadian artist Gareth Moore will operate out of a small self-designed kiosk and vending structure that will sell items such as art catalogs, pens, maps, disposable cameras, bumper stickers, lemonade, and other objects, most of which have been slightly altered or hand made. The kiosk will be situated within close proximity to the «Art Perform» area stage and the gallery containers of «Art Positions». The artist will operate his kiosk during the regular opening hours of «Art Positions» over the course of the art show and including those times scheduled for other performances.Date: December 7 to 10Time: 2 – 10pm
Robin Rhode's project for «Art Perform» will take on the theme of boxing in relation to the fact that Art Basel Miami Beach is held at the same venue as the legendary heavyweight title fight between Cassius Clay a.k.a. Muhammad Ali and Sonny Liston in 1964, the Miami Beach Convention Center. Rhode will realize a series of «ad hoc» performances around the «Art Positions» container of his gallery, Perry Rubinstein (New York). These unannounced and ephemeral works will seek to investigate the cul-tural role of boxing in 1964 along with the human rights move-ment during that period. At the same time the project will invest-tigate the position of the art show in relation to the historic title fight of 1964 as well as the idea of the artist/performer as fighter, the fighter as entertainer and cultural producer.Date: December 7 to 10Time: OngoingPR /October 2006

He has put to-gether three programs: «Surrender to Illusion: Video in a Time of War», «Aesthetic Field: No Appropriation: Directors Direct/Performers Perform», and «In Brevitas Formositas: Short and Beautiful», featuring two dozen works by seventeen internationally known artists. The pieces have been se-lected to offer a broad survey of contemporary trends in video art. Projected onto a specially designed installation, the pieces offer visitors a brand new experience of viewing videos. In tribute to the late Nam June Paik, who died last January, videos by the father of video art will also be shown every day. Art Basel Miami Beach has appointed Michael Rush as the new curator of the «Art Video Lounge» platform of the international art show. Rush, Director of the Rose Art Museum, Waltham, is the former director of the Palm Beach ICA. The versatile American has made a name for himself as an author, art critic (The New York Times, Art in America, Newsweek), video artist, and curator of diverse important exhibitions on video art (VIDEO JAM, Brooklyn!). He also curated the exhibition «Indeterminate States: Video in the Ella Fontanals Cisneros Collection» in Miami in 2005. Video art emerged at a cultural moment in the 1960s marked by riots in the US and worldwide demonstrations of students and anti-war activists. It was also a time when artistic experimentation was heralding the collapse of the walls separating disciplines: dance, film, painting, sculpture, performance were yielding multimedia artworks that today are commonplace. As we celebrate the strong emergence of video as an international art phenomenon (video artists from the far reaches of the former Soviet Union, China, Africa, and throughout Latin America are regularly being seen at international exhibitions), we pause to both mourn and honor video's pioneering artist and Miami resident, Nam June Paik, who died earlier this year. Artis-tic genius is defined, in part, by an inexplicable intuition about the zeitgeist that produces an art that changes forever the way we see the world. Paik, touched by the experimental wizardry of Karlheinz Stockhausen and John Cage, knew that the techno-box we call the television was itself radically altering the calculus of daily life; and rather than let it control him, he decided to do-minate it: first as a material for sculpture, soon after as a means of prophecy, using hundreds of monitors and thousands of images to mirror the televised, advertised, digitized world that now engulfs us. The works chosen for this year's video lounge reflect the singularity of moving-image art. Though references to historically older practices such as painting and sculpture may exist, the works cannot be viewed solely in comparison to these other media. They are essentially, and necessarily, art of the moving image. Moving-image art, as represented primarily by cinema, achieved a high level of sophistication almost from the start. Abel Gance's 1927 film «Napoleon» was, remarkably, a three-screen projection conceived well in advance of the multi-surface projections now favored by so many artists. The «Art Video Lounge» presents two dozen works of video art by seventeen artists in a specially designed «installation» consisting of nine free-floating projection screens which will offer individual space for each video at specified times. The installation will have three parts with three screens each. Viewers are free to move among the various screens, pausing where they find works of particular interest. Section 1: Surrender to Illusion: Video in a Time of WarHarun Farocki: Eye MachineOscar Brambilla: Sea of TranquilityJordan Crandall: HomefrontPaul Chan: Baghdad in No Particular OrderMathilde ter Heijne: Suicide BombJenny Marketou: De-lete, 2001.

Roberto Clemente Park 101 NW 34th St at NW 2nd Ave Wynwood Art District
Scope, Miami's first alternative art fair, returns for a fifth straight year to continue its mandate of challenging passive viewing by giving visitors a view of the contemporary art world available nowhere else. Scope Miami 2006 is poised to redefine the conventions of an art fair with its new 40,000-square-foot, artist-designed pavilion located in Roberto Clemente Park in the heart of Miami's Wynwood Art District. Just blocks from the Rubell Family Art Collection, the Margulies Collection, and Miami's leading galleries, Scope Miami's ninety international exhibitors uphold Scope's unique tradition of one-person and thematic group shows presented alongside museum-quality programming, collector tours, screenings, and special events. The fair opens daily at 10 AM; admission is $10. Scope Miami's new monumental pavilion—comprising shipping containers, tents, and art projects—was conceived, designed, and constructed by Scope founder and president Alexis Hubshman, architect Charles Mallea, and expert tentmaker and owner of Event Star, Alain Perez. The experience of the fair begins outside the pavilion where visitors are reduced to a childlike scale by Agustina Wood-Gate's Where the Wild Things Grow, a large-scale urban garden of 1,000 waterproof, handmade, green fabric cones. This veritable meadow of six-foot-tall blades of grass leads to the Sanchez Brothers' Between Life and Death: inside of a real crashed bus, holographic projections of celestial visions recreate passengers' near-death experiences. Visitors then enter the pavilion and interact with [PAM], The Perpetual Art Machine, a video exhibition organized by Lee Wells, Raphaele Shirley, Chris Borkowski, and Aaron Miller. Fairgoers can choose which videos to project on cinema-sized screens in the main foyer from over 600 videos from sixty countries, effectively becoming part of the curatorial process. The [PAM] exhibition leads to Tomas Rivas's Unobtrusive, a peeling and crumbling semi-circular façade made of sheetrock and wallpaper. The piece exposes how art fairs, the dominant form of exhibiting contemporary art, are, by nature, temporary and transitory, and serves as a fitting final step of the initiation into the fair. In addition to its ninety exhibitors from fourteen countries, Scope Miami 2006 presents more than twenty-five special projects including performances and screenings. Fairgoers can relax and indulge at the Queen Bee Snake Bar and Tea Room, a Vietnamese-style bar located next to the café and VIP Lounge, enjoy a Grolsch SwingTop, or listen to Scope-Sound, an original sound installation by Derek Cotè. --> --> --> --> --> End .post --> --> --> --> --> --> Begin comments --> --> --> --> --> --> End comments --> --> --> --> --> --> Begin .post --> Hung LiuMatriarchs
In the Denver Post on Friday September 15, 2006 Kyle MacMillan, the fine arts critic wrote about an exhibition of Hung Liu's at The Wyoming Art Museum in Laramie. This press release is a direct quote from the newspaper. "Liu, a victim of the Cultural Revolution who came to the United States in 1984, is quite simply one of the world's greatest living painters… She revivifies the vintage photographs, imbuing these distant figures with a sense of vibrancy and honesty, overlaying the central subjects with flowers and other symbolic motifs, and deftly weaving in elements of traditional Chinese paintings. As rooted as these works are in the past, they are very much of the present, with Liu injecting them with gestural energy and textural surfaces worthy of Willem de Kooning and gracing them with gentle, flowing drips that Pat Steir could not best." Hung Liu will be showing a new body of work called, The Matriarchs at The Bernice Steinbaum Gallery in Miami, Florida from November 11th, 2006 to January 4th, 2007. Opening reception November 11th from 7 – 10 PM. Wanxin Zhang's second exhibition in Miami, "Warriors Pit 5" features ceramic works inspired by the figures discovered in the tomb of China's first emperor Qin Shi Huang. In Qin Shi Huang's tomb there were 8,000 clay soldiers arranged in three pits. In Zhang's imagined Pit 5 we meet his contemporized warriors, the artist incorporates old and new elements, the Zhang warriors hold snowboards, flowers, babies, a basketball and wear sunglasses. Like the remarkable quality and personality of the Qin tomb figures, Zhang transmits to each of his 6'- 7' ceramic figures, a unique and empathetic personality.
