Miami-Dade County and its partner Florida International University (FIU) entered into a long-term lease agreement with the State of Florida in 2014 to bring great theater back the Coconut Grove Playhouse. The County approved $21.6 million for the project and authorized an agreement for architectural and engineering services with an outstanding team, led by Arquitectonica and including noted historic preservation architect Jorge Hernandez, renowned theater consultants Fisher Dachs Associates, and expert cost consultants, Venue, a firm specializing in capital cost estimates for theaters. The resulting project is an elegant campus with the historic front building on Main Highway restored faithfully to its 1927 design, a new, state-of-the-art 300-seat theater that incorporates the remaining historic elements of the original theater (e.g., the double proscenium arch, Solomonic columns, etc.), a garage with its facades attractively lined with offices facing Main Highway and the residential neighborhood to the north, and plazas, promenades, lush landscaping and a pocket park. As designed, the Coconut Grove Playhouse pays homage to its architectural heritage and respects the pedestrian nature and village scale of the Grove. The facts on the Coconut Grove Playhouse project are available below.

ALEJANDRO OTERO sculpture

ALEJANDRO OTERO b.1921, d.1990 VENEZUELA

Created between 1955 and 1960, Alejandro Otero’s color-rhythms are the consummated result of the artist’s explorations in the field of abstraction. Color-rhythm 34 is one of the ninety pieces that form this series, which is subdivided into eighty-four colorrhythms and six color-rhythms in motion. These works stemmed from a dialogue between Otero and the work of Mondrian in 1951. He created the color-rhythms by applying duco using an air gun or paint roller on enlarged rectangular plywood or Plexiglas bases. They are vertical or horizontal, but all of them follow the same pattern: a base structure comprised of regular intervals of dark stripes on a white background, inside which the artist evenly placed a series of geometric and colored planes—generally using primary colors. These geometric planes vary in number, size, shape, and frequency, and, by being inserted between the vertical stripes, activate the composition both in terms of color and rhythm. Hence the name color-rhythms. However, there seems to be something else. Just like in the work of Mondrian, Otero’s color-rhythms give the viewer a glimpse of his philosophical rumination. The structure in the background, with its regular stripes and well-defined contours, achieved through the use of adhesive tape, has a function similar to that of a musical score sheet or the lines in a notebook. It represents a sort of universal, objective, preordained, and immutable order. Meanwhile, the colored planes represent particular and subjective accidents, whose character is essentially expressive. Therefore, each color-rhythms ends up being a different colored song, written on the same musical score sheet. Venezuelan artist Alejandro Otero studied at the Escuela de Artes Plásticas in Caracas and broke through as an artist exhibiting realistic paintings at national salons in the early forties. However, a long stay in Paris (1945-1952) led him away from mimetic representations. A first stage (1946-1948) consisted of a series of variations on static subjects, such as coffeepots and chandeliers, combined with a gestural and colorful lyricism, structured with angular black lines. Exhibited at the Museo de Bellas Artes in Caracas in 1949, the works were controversial, but earned him a prominent place in Venezuela’s progressive movement. Nevertheless, after his return to Paris in 1950, he veered toward a more radical abstractionism. That same year, along with other fellow countrymen living in France, he formed Los Disidentes, a group that attacked Venezuelan artistic conservatism and promoted geometric abstraction. It was during that time that the influence of Piet Mondrian started to emerge, whose work he studied on a trip to the Netherlands in 1951. From then on, all of Otero’s work in the fifties conversed with the work of Mondrian: Líneas de color sobre fondo blanco (1951) and Collages ortogonales (1951-1952), both of which explore the optical and dynamic effects of line and color through the interweaving of paper strips of different colors; the murals and stained glass pieces he created for the project of Ciudad Universitaria de Caracas commissioned by Carlos Raúl Villanueva; and the celebrated color-rhythms he produced between 1955 and 1960 after becoming disappointed with the possibility of effective integration of architects and artists. It was through his color-rhythms that he gained international recognition. With those pieces he was included in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in 1956, receiving the National Prize for painting at the Salón Nacional Venezolano in 1959, and an honorable mention at that year’s São Paulo Biennale. Between 1960 and 1964, he returned to Paris looking to explore new areas of his work. He experimented with collages, assemblage, and found objects. In the seventies, he began creating public outdoor sculptures in Latin America, the United States, and Europe. In 1971 he obtained a Guggenheim Fellowship and spent a season as a visiting artist at MIT.

39TH MIAMI FILM FESTIVAL CELEBRATES RETURN OF KNIGHT HEROES 

WITH NEW IF/THEN SHORTS PARTNERSHIP 

IN SUPPORT OF SOUTH FLORIDA FILMMAKERS

Local filmmakers encouraged to submit their ideas for the

Short Documentary Development Funding & Consultation program from Jan. 10-24, 2022

MIAMI (January 6, 2022) – Announcing a new direction for its popular Knight Heroes program, Miami-Dade College’s acclaimed 39th annual Miami Film Festival is proud to launch a new partnership with Field of Vision’s IF/Then Shorts initiative, a fund and mentorship program for short documentary filmmakers. This inaugural collaboration will provide grants and direct mentorship to eight local filmmakers, along with a major panel focused on both narrative and documentary short-form series development that will be open to the entire community. The deadline to submit applications is 11:59 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 24, 2022.

“Since its inception in 2019, Miami Film Festival’s Knight Heroes program has inspired confidence in South Florida film creatives to find personal paths to realize their own cinematic visions,” said Jaie Laplante, Miami Film Festival’s executive director & co-director of programming. “With the support of Knight Foundation, we are thrilled to take this program to a new place of resonance by collaborating with the celebrated experts at IF/Then Shorts.”

Now in its fourth edition, Knight Heroes is funded by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, where bright and bold filmmakers share their insights, observations, and advice about their creative paths and future outlooks through conversations about their own creative heroes. Last year’s edition featured filmmaker Radha Blank (The Forty-Year Version) with her inspiration Gina Prince-Bythewood (Beyond the Lights, The Old Guard) and filmmaker/actress Amy Seimetz (She Dies Tomorrow) accompanied by producer Adele Romanski (Moonlight, Never Really Sometimes Always).  

The 2022 Knight Heroes program consists of two parts:

●      Open Call for Short Documentary Development Funding & Consultation program applications – South Florida filmmakers are invited to submit their short documentary project ideas for development funding and expert consultation on a wide range of topics at miamifilmfestival.com/knightheroes2022. IF/Then Shorts Co-Directors Caitlin Mae Burke and Merrill Sterritt will select eight filmmaker projects to receive a development grant of $500 each from the Knight Heroes program. The winners will be announced in mid-February. Additionally, each filmmaker will receive a one-hour consultation with a distinguished expert in the field on industry tropics tailored to their specific areas of interest. 

This program is open to filmmakers living and working in the South Florida counties of Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach and Monroe. Online applications open at 10am on Monday, Jan. 10 and close at 11:59 pm on Monday, Jan. 24, 2022. For more information on how to apply, visit miamifilmfestival.com/knightheroes2022.

●      “Scaling a Short Film into a Short Form Series” Festival Panel – On Saturday, Mar. 5 at the JW Marriott Marquis Hotel in Downtown Miami, Miami Film Festival will host a public 120-minute panel that is open to the entire South Florida film community. The theme of the panel is “Scaling a Short Film into a Short Form Series” with panelists to discuss their expertise in development, acquisition/streaming and short film or short form series filmmaking. Panelists will share what they look for in series pitches (scripted and non-fiction), how they program standalone shorts for their platforms and answer questions from the audience. A happy hour event for filmmakers and registered guests of the Miami Film Festival 2022 will follow. COVID safety protocols in accordance with CDC and Miami-Dade County guidelines for event gatherings will apply and be enforced.

“We’re so grateful that the Miami Film Festival and Knight Foundation recognize the value in supporting regional documentary shorts,” said Merrill Sterritt, Co-Director of IF/Then Shorts. “The Knight Heroes program has created an exciting opportunity for IF/Then Shorts to deepen our longstanding work in the South by connecting with and supporting South Florida filmmakers. As we further our commitment to regional and community-inspired filmmaking, we can’t wait to hear what stories these filmmakers want to tell and how we can be helpful collaborators.”

The 10-day Miami Film Festival is scheduled to take place March 4-13, 2022. For updates, visit miamifilmfestival.com and follow @MiamiFilmFestival on Facebook, @MiamiFilm on Instagram and @MiamiFilmFest on Twitter. #MiamiFF

EL ARTISTA PLÁSTICO ECUATORIANO EDDIE MOSLER LE REGALARÁ UNA PIRÁMIDE ÁURICA A CADA PAÍS  

Busca conectar la frecuencia áurica a todo el planeta y ayudar en la sanación integral de sus habitantes



Miami, FL. 9 de enero de 2022. Eddie Mosler, artista plástico ecuatoriano de reconocida trayectoria, ha manifestado el deseo de regalarle una pirámide áurica a cada nación para conectar la frecuencia áurica a todo el planeta por medio de la pirámide verde de sanación, conexión y verdad; “ésta pirámide es la que conecta el plano terrenal con el plano astral de luz”, expresó.

Mosler explicó que al hablar de beneficios, aparte del antes mencionado, el hecho de tener una pirámide áurica verde constituye un registro astral para el país. “Ayuda en la sanación integral y permite a la población incorporar esa vibración autorizada de sanación astral, obteniendo mejoría tanto física como energética, lo cual se refleja en el bienestar y evolución del país”, agregó.

“La pirámide representa una trilogía en la cual están presentes la conexión (arriba), el origen (izquierda) y la creación (derecha), donde su punta superior nos enseña el camino a la evolución; por lo tanto, conecta directamente con  el astral de luz, siempre a lo más elevado. Las pirámides áuricas verdes son un portal hacia la sanación porque el diseño está autorizado por el espíritu del oro y está disponible para toda la humanidad sin ningún tipo de restricción”, argumentó Mosler.

El artista explicó que la clasificación cromática de las pirámides es de nueve colores áuricos, azul, amarillo, rosado, blanco, verde, naranja, violeta, plateado y dorado; cada pirámide ofrece una propiedad diferente como protección, abundancia, paz, sabiduría y amor, entre otras.

 La Pirámide Áurica Verde, representa conexión, salud y verdad; atrae transparencia, honestidad y certeza, permitiendo al  país  desarrollarse  con  un enfoque en lo correcto, creando para todos estructuras de evolución siempre enfocadas en la luz. El verde es el quinto color en la clasificación de las pirámides; al ser la pirámide que permite la conexión con la frecuencia áurica es la más importante, por lo tanto debe ser la primera en  ser adquirida por el país.

“Mi inspiración definitivamente es la sanación del planeta. Las pirámides áuricas son un portal directo hacia la sanación del ser y la conexión con la frecuencia áurica. Para su diseño me conecto con el plano astral de ese país lo cual me permite trabajar potencializando sus cualidades y ayudando en sus necesidades en este ámbito específico”, manifestó Mosler.

El resultado esperado es que cada país tenga la pirámide verde para dar inicio a la incorporación de la frecuencia áurica y así expandir la sanación. Mientras más países tengan la pirámide áurica verde se acelerará la conexión con la frecuencia áurica en todo el planeta. La frecuencia áurica es el movimiento de los nueve colores  bajo  la  autorización  del  espíritu  del  oro  para  la expansión de la conciencia y para la evolución de toda la humanidad.

“Todas las obras que realizo dentro de la estructura de las pirámides áuricas pertenecen a la colección que posee el mismo nombre. El 27 de septiembre de 2020 realicé el lanzamiento de la colección “Pirámides Áuricas” en una Ceremonia de Oro por la sanación Mundial, evento realizado en el Monumento de la Mitad del Mundo en Ecuador para todo  el  planeta; allí  di  a  conocer  las  propiedades  y  los  beneficios  de  las  pirámides  en  los procesos de sanación y conexión con el universo”, comentó.

Para  que  una  nación  obtenga  la  pirámide  lo  importante  es  que  sea  solicitada  por  un  representante  del gobierno de cada país. Las pirámides serán entregadas según el orden de solicitud de los países. Finalmente, Mosler expresó que su mensaje para la humanidad es que siempre esté conectada con la luz y con el eterno presente, que expandamos esa luz en el planeta tierra para que se incorpore la frecuencia áurica y retorne la sanación en todos y cada uno de sus habitantes.

Ignatius

Ignatius, is a Spanish painter from Madrid, he sees his paintings as a means of expressive communication, and with each piece he paints to break the monotony of the two-dimensional world. Ignatius grew up in Madrid under his mathematician father who was also a painter. As a young boy his father introduced him to Spanish Informalism or Abstract Expressionism and, since then Ignatius has thought of and seen art in this way. Ignatius’ artwork reveals this hidden, yet palpable network of radiation; a fascinating landscape of gamma rays, visible light, radio and ultraviolet waves, x-rays, microwaves, and infrared waves. His belief is that only colors are able to reveal all these different shapes to the human eye. Without colors, the world would look like a huge “sand storm” in the middle of the desert. The underlying axiom of his oeuvre is that separation is a mere illusion and we are all part of the same whole. In this age of “Internet dictatorship,” when reality has been replaced by images, Ignatius’ three-dimensional paintings offer an all-round immersive experience for the viewer. His work is not a mere representation of reality, it is reality itself.

Anecdote of an Inquisitive Mind by Mai Yap

Mai Yap was born in the Republic of Panama of Chinese parents, MaiYap has been able to magically blend East and West on canvas. Within the walls of her parent’s home, she was immersed in the beauty, balance and perfection of millennial traditions passed on from one generation to another. Once outside these walls, her senses were overcome by the amazing colors, sounds and energy of the Tropics. Panama provided a bustling backdrop of exciting people, places, and music. Most importantly, its natural surroundings provided the perfect artistic inspiration to imagine and create her magnificent flowers and unique landscapes. It also gave her the courage to voice her concerns and fears about our planet’s welfare through her powerful environmental abstracts.

ERNESTO BRIEL: PIONEERING OP ART

By Mark Westall

Opened this November in Gallery Two of S|2 is a great exhibition of Cuban artist Ernesto Briel’s works from the sixties and seventies. Born in 1943, Ernesto Briel found inspiration in Optical Art amidst the constraints and limitations of his native country following the Cuban revolution. Facing both the isolation imposed by the US cultural embargo of the sixties, and the relentless persecution by the Castro regime against homosexuality during the early seventies, Briel found motivation in these challenges that would nurture his prolific artistic life.

He was instrumental in the circulation of geometric abstraction in Cuba at this time. Many of his artworks that are included in this exhibition were printed in Signos; a national magazine published in a conscious effort to prevent cultural isolation. Briel left Cuba through the Mariel boatlift in 1980 and continued his practice in New York, receiving the Cintas Foundation fellowship award in 1988-1989 and exhibiting in a number of solo and group shows. These exhibitions included the now historically relevant Duo Geo show in 1992, which featured Briel’s work alongside his friend and fellow Cuban artist, Carmen Herrera. Briel died of AIDS-related complications in 1992. His legacy lives through the myriad of challenges he overcame and his commitment to his artistic practice, especially the international language of Op Art, as a means to transcend cultural boundaries.

About The Artist
Born in Guanabacoa, Cuba in 1943, Ernesto Briel was instrumental in the circulation of geometric abstraction in Cuba during the 1960s and 1970s. The artist, whose work is currently on display at S|2 London, found inspiration in Optical art amidst the constraints and limitations of his native country in the two decades following the triumph of the Cuban revolution.

From an early age Briel took to representing things he saw around him on paper and became initially inspired by images of modern art he discovered within books and magazines. Rather than simply representing what he saw, he slowly began to reinterpret objects that inspired him through a geometric lens.
In 1961, Briel entered the Academy of San Alejandro in Havana, but discovered that the art school’s politics were completely opposed to the modern tendencies that had inspired him to attend in the first place. Briel had to fight hard for his more modern approach to be acceptanced in the confines of the school and experienced a considerable amount of rejection directed towards his work. Whilst studying at the Academy of San Alejandro, Briel was employed as an actor at the National Theatre of Guiñol, one of the most avant-garde theatres in Cuba’s history.

Briel would later reflect on these two experiences as complete opposites, having attended art school due to his passion for painting, whereas his involvement in the theatre was in order to earn a living. However, the young artists’ attendance at the theatre allowed him to become well known within Cuba’s artistic and theatrical circles.
In 1966, Briel’s work was shown alongside Cuban artist Mario Carreño Morales in his first exhibition, entitled Morales y Briel. Dibujos OP y POP at the Galiano Gallery in Havana. The exhibition set about exploring optical illusions in his practice. It gained acclaim and a wider reach following an article published in the centrefold of the Sunday edition of Cuba’s El Mundo newspaper and shortly after the exhibition his work was reproduced in Islas Magazine, a publication with an international scope. Many of Briel’s artworks, several of which are included in the current S|2 exhibition, were also printed in Signos; a national magazine published from the late 1960s into the 1970s in a conscious effort to prevent cultural isolation.

In 1978, whilst completing a design course at the National School of Design in Havana, Briel became part of a short-lived art group known as the Grupo Cubano de Arte Óptico (The Cuban Group of Op Art). The artist would continue to exhibit his work, in the early months of 1980, he showed his recent work at the vestibule of CMQ (also known as Radiocentro), Havana’s premier TV station. The exhibition further explored the relationship between the kinetic and the optical in art, including an array of drawings, paintings and three-dimensional works.

Whilst working as an actor Briel was given the opportunity to tour Europe with the theatre, but on his return to Cuba he was confronted with a country of increasing totalitarianism. In 1980 the artist made the decision to leave Cuba for New York through the now historic Mariel boatlift. In New York, Briel had access to the work of other artists who had similar concerns, such as Bridget Riley and Frank Stella. Most importantly, Briel encountered the work of two other Cuban geometric abstractionists: Carmen Herrera and Waldo Balart. The three artists learnt to appreciate and admire each other’s work, developing a lifelong friendship.

In 1989, Briel was presented with the Cintas Foundation fellowship award and continued to exhibit in a number of solo and group shows in New York. These exhibitions included the now historically relevant Duo Geo show in 1992 at Jadite Galleries in New York City, which featured work by Carmen Herrera and Briel alongside one another. Sadly, the following year Briel died from AIDS related complications, but the artist’s legacy lives through his commitment to his artistic practice, especially the international language of Op Art, as a means to transcend cultural boundaries.
