A Bach-Lover’s Delight:

The Third Annual Seraphic Fire Enlightenment Festival

In two back-to-back weeks of choral-orchestral works, the third annual Enlightenment Festival will offer

performances that exemplify what Seraphic Fire does best—Bach—featuring two of the composer“

greatest oratorios. Conductor Patrick Dupre Quigley shared his excitement about the Enlightenment

programs: “This is the first time we have been able to devote the entire two weeks to Johann Sebastian

Bach; it’s the perfect way to show off the strengths and talents of our choir, soloists, and orchestra.

Almost like a birthday present for our audience, we are delighted to have one of our original members

join us – countertenor Reginald Mobley. His interpretations of Bach have taken him all over the world

working with the greatest Baroque ensembles and conductors. There’s no more fitting way to celebrate

20 years than by having Reginald sing Cantata 170.”

FESTIVAL PROGRAM WEEK 1: Life | Death

Thu, Feb 16, 7:30 pm  |  Miami  | St. Sophia Greek Orthodox Cathedral

Fri, Feb 17, 7:30 pm  |  Coral Gables  | St. Philip’s Episcopal

Sat, Feb 18, 7:30 pm  |  Ft. Lauderdale  | All Saints Episcopal

Sun, Feb 19, 4:00 pm  |  Miami Beach  | All Souls Episcopal

During an age of high mortality, Johann Sebastian Bach experienced the stark and tenuous nature of life

and death firsthand. As a result, Bach’s music of human existence and death is, unsurprisingly, probing

and profound. Seraphic Fire sings two of Bach’s haunting cantatas on death, and Reginald Mobley is

featured in the solo alto cantata Vergnügte Ruh in this musical evening of inspiration and reflection.

Program:

Bach, Johann Sebastian Herr, gehe nicht ins Gericht, BWV 105

Bach Vergnügte Ruh, beliebte Seelenlust*, BWV 170

Bach Aus der Tiefen rufe ich, Herr, zu dir, BWV 131

FESTIVAL PROGRAM WEEK 2: Beginning | End

Thu, Feb 23, 7:00 pm  |  Naples  | Vanderbilt Presbyterian

Fri, Feb 24, 8:00 pm  |  Coral Gables  | Church of the Little Flower

Sat, Feb 25, 7:30 pm  |  Ft. Lauderdale  | All Saints Episcopal

Sun, Feb 26, 4:00 pm  |  Boca Raton  | St. Gregory’s Episcopal

Joyous arrivals and awe-inspiring departures are featured in the closing concert of Seraphic Fire’s third

annual Enlightenment Festival. Selections from Johann Sebastian Bach’s Christmas Oratorio portray an

expectant mother and and the Magi searching for that child. The Ascension Oratorio is particularly

thrilling with spectacular opening and closing trumpets, its coloratura passages, and equally challenging

chorale. Chamber orchestra and students from the UCLA Ensemble Artist Program join Seraphic Fire

singers to perform two of Bach’s great works in a burst of sonic glory in this arresting program.

Program:

Bach, Johann Sebastian Weihnachts-Oratorium, Parts I and V, BWV 248

Bach Himmelfahrtsoratorium, BWV 11

Tickets and subscriptions are on sale now at SeraphicFire.org and by phone at 305.285.9060.

If you love yourself; your business will profit, because “You Are Your ‘Business? “be in love with your business. Why? Because you are your business! The risk involved, and the stress that comes from building a foundation that will yield you a better lifestyle can be daunting. In order to be a servant to the masses, you must make sure that you are conditioned; physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. My message is about how people want to be entrepreneurs in the 21st century, but many are not aware of the challenging work that goes along with building a business.  There are characteristics that we must portray, and whatever our passion is, it must be so strong that we will be determined to achieve our goals by any means necessary. I said all that that because in order to be productive as an entrepreneur, you must love yourself enough to make huge investment, financially and physically. Self-love and care are a priority. If one fails to have self-love, then he or she will be of no use to anyone else. Entrepreneurs are servants and servants must have good positive energy and energy comes from self-care in our diets, in our minds and even in the relationships that we develop. At the end of the day, you are your business and if your foundation is not firm, your business will not make it. Statics say that business fail within the first five years.
Your passion must be so strong that you will not give up when you faced challenges, financial burden, disappointments, not to mention the things that we cannot control like the pandemic and other crisis. When you love yourself by maintain your hierarchy of needs, you will stand these challenging times.   Perseverance, patience, determination, resilience, confidence, intuition, creativity, and positive energy are all prerequisite of being in love with who God created you to become. When you love yourself, it will show on the outside and your positive energy will attract the right people into your life.

A DECADE OF ART WYNWOOD: MIAMI’S PREMIER WINTER CONTEMPORARY ART FAIR RETURNS
ON PRESIDENTS DAY WEEKEND WITH MORE THAN 50 WORLD CLASS GALLERIES


MIAMI – Art Wynwood, Miami’s foremost winter art fair, produced by Art Miami, is returning for its 10th
edition. Taking place over Presidents Day Weekend, the fair will launch with an exclusive VIP Preview on
Thursday, February 16 before opening to the public Friday, February 17 through Sunday, February 19 at
One Herald Plaza.
Art Wynwood provides a unique opportunity for collectors to discover and explore the world’s most
prestigious contemporary, emerging and modern art galleries in the vibrant cultural hub of South
Florida. Since Art Wynwood’s ninth edition in 2020, the city’s real estate boom has been one of the
country’s largest transfers of wealth, making Art Wynwood 2023 the best opportunity to collect some of
the most important art works of the 20th and 21st centuries.
More than 50 leading international galleries from countries spanning England, Italy, the Dominican
Republic, Canada, Switzerland, France, Belgium, Germany, Spain, United Kingdom, Venezuela, Austria,
and throughout the U.S. will showcase an elevated array of murals, pop surrealism, street art and other
modern and contemporary genres by innovative emerging artists as well as top names.
“Year over year, Art Wynwood attracts key collectors, curators, art advisors, designers, and art aficionados from around the world,” shares Art Wynwood Director Julian Navarro. “Art Wynwood’s highly anticipated 2023 edition will feature a mix of new and established contemporary galleries, as well as special projects and solo exhibitions.”
For the first time in the fair’s history, Thursday’s VIP Preview will benefit The Bass, Miami Beach’s
preeminent contemporary art museum, supporting its mission to expand the interpretation of
contemporary art, and use art as a catalyst for creativity and positive growth.
“We are delighted to partner with Art Wynwood,” says Silvia Karman Cubiñá, Executive Director/Chief
Curator for The Bass. “The fair offers a vibrant platform for international art enthusiasts and collectors to discover emerging contemporary artists and exciting new works, further positioning Miami as a hub for visual arts.”

Art Wynwood 2023 is expected to draw prominent attendees and for the third year, the world-renowned
Miami International Boat Show will be adjacent to Art Wynwood, an in-water display showcasing the most extraordinary and uniquely designed yachts and superyachts from the world’s foremost custom boat builders.
During this year’s fair, Art Wynwood will present Kelly “RISK” Graval with the Art Wynwood Lifetime
Artistic Achievement Award. Regarded as a founder of the West Coast Graffiti movement, LA-based RISK was the first to paint full-color pieces and productions on the city’s freeway, creating the Los Angeles freeway movement, and continues to innovate and shape contemporary art through his work. Presented in partnership with Wynwood Walls, the award recognizes individuals in art whose careers have changed the industry. Previous award recipients include Mel Ramos, Martha Cooper, Shepard Fairey, Logan Hicks, and Ron English.
Presented by Chase Contemporary, RISK’s art will be featured on an outdoor mural flanking the Fair
entrance. He will also debut four new Virtual Reality graffiti prints, which when activated via a phone
camera come to life through the screen. Other Art Wynwood 2023 highlights include:
● Heitsch Gallery will present four new thought provoking works from artist Eike König.
● Laurent Marthaler will showcase new works from Swiss artists Crystel Ceresa and Daniel
Cherbuin.

Apolíneo
Apolíneo
  1. 1.adjetivo Perteneciente o relativo al dios griego Apolo.
  2. 2.adjetivo Que posee las cualidades de serenidad y elegante equilibrio atribuidas a Apolo, en contraposición a dionisíaco.

Sinónimos de apolíneo: 

Lindo, Gracioso, Apolínico, Bello, Formoso, Adonis, Hermoso, Guapo, Bien parecido.

La palabra apolíneo proviene del latín Apollinaeus y significa relacionado con Apolo. Se refiere a las características de perfección corporal, serenidad y equilibrio elegante que se atribuyen al dios griego Apolo. 

El término “apolíneo” fue introducido por Nietzsche en su obra El origen de la tragedia. 

Apolíneo puede significar:

  • De Apolo o relativo a él
  • Apuesto, hermoso
  • Equilibrado, coherente 

Apolíneo también puede significar:

  • Perteneciente o relativo al dios griego Apolo
  • Que posee las cualidades de serenidad y elegante equilibrio atribuidas a Apolo, en contraposición a dionisíaco
  • Dicho de un hombre: Que posee gran perfección corporal 

Lo apolíneo también puede significar:

  • Mesura
  • Lo racional
  • Lo limitado
  • El orden
  • La luz
  • La consideración del mundo como una totalidad ordenada, luminosa y racional 

Lo apolíneo se opone a lo dionisíaco. Lo dionisíaco representa la embriaguez, el exceso por los placeres, la vida subjetiva de los individuos. 

Lo apolíneo también puede representar el principio de individuación que tiende a limitar al individuo encerrándolo en sí mismo. Se expresa fundamentalmente en las artes espaciales, más estáticas y acabadas: la arquitectura y la escultura.

Featuring Works by Alexi Torres Presented by Contessa Gallery

Miami Beach’s historic art deco hotel Sagamore South Beach announces an exciting collaboration with Palm Beach-based Contessa Gallery, an acclaimed fine art gallery offering high-quality artworks and acquisition counsel to collectors, museums and institutions. Through April 21, 2023, the prestigious gallery will take over the hotel lobby with a solo exhibition by Cuban-born artist Alexi Torres entitled “Woven Connections.”

Known for his surreal large-scale oil paintings that appear as if they are knitted and woven, Torres draws
inspiration from everyday organic objects such as leaves, feathers, baskets and cloth. His work is driven by a love of nature and a dedication to perfecting his intricate “woven” painting technique. Each of his incredible pieces creates a three-dimensional, multilayered illusion that draws viewers in for a closer look.
Inspired by his Cuban upbringing, Torres views art-making as planting an idea and harvesting it. He builds the stretchers, stretches the canvases and primes them himself. Like his ancestors during the harvest, he starts and finishes each work following the cycle of the waning moon.
“We are so excited to collaborate with Contessa Gallery and to display Alexi Torres’ magnificent works of art in
our lobby,” said Sagamore South Beach Owner and Artistic Director Ronit Neuman. “The Sagamore prides itself on its year-round art programming and museum-quality exhibitions, so it’s a natural fit for us to collaborate with such a renowned and respected gallery.”

“We are very excited about our collaboration with the Sagamore, which has been a premier art hotel for
decades,” said Contessa Gallery founder and owner Steven Hartman, who opened Contessa Gallery in Cleveland in the late ’90s to fulfill his passion for becoming a fine art dealer. In 2016, he opened the Palm Beach location after a decade of participating in prestigious West Palm Beach art fairs. “When you mix the proper venue and context with the right gallery curation – and the incredible talent of Alexi Torres’ caliber – magic happens.” “Woven Connections” will be on view in the Sagamore South Beach lobby through April 21, 2023. All works displayed will be available for sale to the public.

The exclusive lobby exhibition is part of the hotel’s ongoing Sagamore Is Art platform, which presents year-round rotating art exhibits and exclusive partnerships with leading artists, museums and non-for-profits. It provides a unique opportunity for all to immerse in the art world by keeping all works on view 24/7 and completely free to the public.

MEG COGBURN. DESCENT INTO ILLUMINATED DREAM

By Milagros Bello, PhD*

Meg Cogburn visually interprets biblical figures, ancestral religions, and anthropological practices as rituals of regeneration. The works present syncretic combinations of symbolic cryptic references that partake from the Christian and Sufi languages to Vodou Cosmograms and Tarot imagery. They perform as sacred figures of astral forces as grounds of metamorphosis, self-transformation, and rebirth. The paintings reflect on human struggles in contemporary civilization, womanhood and women battles, and our radical social changes, attuning to hopeful visions of regeneration and spiritual enlightenment.

Her paintings are sites for transitions from the celestial to the terrestrial and vice versa; they are sites for indagating the occult and the meta real; lands for discoveries and gestalts for the senses of life. Cogburn works are made of hermetic substances, leading into wonders and marvels.

Their imaginary correlate and interlace as liminal spaces of inner worlds intertwining matter and meaning of esoteric allures. Meg Cogburn’s work does not contrive reality, but it reveals the domain of the subconscious and its allegorical narratives. Archetypal figures, emblematic civilization symbols; enneagrams, mandalas, spirals, as sacred geometries interlace the invisible forces of the universe in its micro and macro cosmic dimensions.

Cogburn extracts the substance of her works from her dreams and her personal life experiences as well from her investigations of ancient civilizations, cultural symbols, and religious documents. She appropriates them generating deep avocations of humanity. The pictorial scenes map out figures of ample associations.

Aligned, among others, with the doings of Surrealist women, Cogburn reminds us of Leonora Carrington, Remedios Varo, Dorothea Tanning, Leonor Fini in her search for self-expression. Cogburn ponders on her life passages and struggles, exorcizing them with intensity and temper.

For her, painting is a spiritual practice.
Her approach to painting goes through diluted, atmospheric brushstrokes, twisting and elongating them with energetic touches. The anatomical figures are intentionally unfinished, showing a singular rawness and a cryptic naïveté. Their enigmatic allure is enhanced by black eyes devoid of emotions and connected to unnamable realms. The colors, constructed with a free mixture of primary and secondary pigments, have an impasto-like appearance, and a crude and coarse look.

Cogburn cuts out on following any academic or post-academic procedures. Her tactic is to frontally project flat-plane and compact scenarios superimposed on one another. Symbolic geometries overlay on the composition to enhance the contraposing forces of the figures.

Cogburn’s paintings portray auras of mystery in reflecting on the inscrutability of life.
There are works that establish key paradigms of consciousness and understandings. In Descent into Illuminated Dream, she recalls a dream of her sinking head-first into dark waters. The scene presents a body of a woman surrounded by blue waters with sea snakes looking upwards (in the absence of her head). Her body shows singular inscriptions of figures of Mexican game Loteria cards. Spiders, sculls, scorpions, fashion women, and a drunken man allegorize society though Mexican imagery.

The Hanged Man” is based on the same Tarot card, and it alludes, as Cogburn says, to “ultimate surrender to fate, sacrifice, to the greater good, martyrdom…”. The figure in the card is interpreted here as a pregnant woman, Eva, inverted, and hanging from the tree of knowledge of the biblical Genesis. At the foot of the tree, there are unborn babies, nourishing in their latent condition from the roots of the tree. There is here a subtle reflection on motherhood and maternity.

The Crossroads, 2019 Acrylic on Canvas

The Blue Burka, recalling another dream, depicts a colossus walking over the streets on fire of the city of Kabul; on the colossus head, there is a djiin, a supernatural spirit personifying the artist herself, dwelling in a spiritual dimension; it serves as a guiding spirit for the resurrection of womanhood in the Islamic culture.

The Fool, from the Tarot Series, 2019 Acrylic on Canvas

The polyptych Four Horses of the Apocalypse Series, based on the Book of Revelation of the Apocalypse of St John of Patmos, summons four beings that ride out on white, red, black, and pale horses, announcing the end of times and the ultimate moment of divine judgment. They were created during the pandemic quarantine, in the artist’s studio in Miami Beach as a meditation of these turbulent timesin which society and life itself were put to the outmost.

The four paintings sum up the Covid crisis via interpreting the biblical riders through a personal visual interpretation in which she portrays the plague, the fear, the panic, the social protests, the violence that are enthroned in society. The artist expresses: “I was cloistered in my studio, reflecting on how historical global tragedy often mirrors the allegory of the biblical arrival of the Apocalypse.”
