    I have a confession to make...I lied...about being an art fan…read more There's no way I can consider myself a connoisseur of the Miami Art Scene and not have stepped foot inside Dorsch Gallery until tonight! I stopped in tonight for the Bubble Art exhibit I heard on the talk thread, and went beyond the main entry hall. The raw concrete floor, the exposed masonry block work, the nooks, the crannies, the turns just beg for artistic creation. The exhibits tonight ranged from a cot made out of bank deposit bags - perfectly symbolic of the recession - to fluorescent colorful "stacks" and even a Great Pair of Legs on the floor. The coup d'grace is the outside patio where an local band was playing. It is an architectural hodgepodge of a patio slab, grass, and pavers. The patio roof itself is another marvel with two different types of wood framing. Of course, there was the requisite comp bar (which unfortunately I passed on tonight) and also a little picnic table outside. The acoustics weren't that great, but we're not a hoity toity concert hall but at a cool end-of-summer backyard party!

    As last Sunday was a drizzling, my plans for spending the afternoon biking were cut short. A friend…read moresuggested a trip to Emerson Dorsch. This is a gallery that I had visited several times in its original Wynwood location in order to enjoy exhibits by Jenny Brillhart, a marvelous Miami-based artist for many years who is still represented by Emerson Dorsch. We headed off in the rain to check out Emerson Dorsch's present home in Little Haiti. "Alosúgbe: A Journey Across Time," by Onajide Shabaka is currently on exhibit. Sydney, the director at the gallery that afternoon, was wonderful. She explained the story behind the art. In brief, the artist's work which is represented through photographs and collages, explores the African diaspora based on his many years of research in several Southern states as well as the Caribbean and Suriname. I highly recommend seeing this exhibit which runs through June 22. Indeed, I plan on making more frequent trips to Emerson Dorsch - why not take advantage of the marvelous galleries we are lucky to have here in Miami! Located next to Panther Coffee, there's ample parking everywhere so there's no excuse not to visit!

    I have always been a fan of hi-tech design and modern style. Todays entry into Pan American Art…read moreProjects building space was no different. Immediately I was busy admiring the exposed duct work, metal beams, polished concrete floor and finished look but raw nonetheless. The gallery was recommended to me by a couple people I met at Panther that told me it was a really happening place, but it was as quiet as a library and void of many guests. Surprising since I really enjoyed the art presented on this 2nd Saturday visit. My personal favorite today was a collage that used very small, black & white photographs laid onto large, back wall. Viewing up close, you can make out all the pictures but back up a bit and all the prints start to create a larger mess; back up even more and the prints are laid in such a way that it seems to create a mural of an eye. Other pieces presented were such an array of different medians and styles; something for everyone. Although it felt somewhat like a library (shhh), had no music or ambient noises and furnished no wine or water... I really liked the classy feel and variety of art.

    I love the plain white walls, lighting, and wood joists. The maze wall partition make for a fun…read moreexploration. It's easy to find - with the neon "HERE" sign at the entrance, and close to the delicious noms of Joey's. But what a gallery makes are it's exhibits. Seemingly emphasizing on photography, last night's was no exception with installations (pictures? sculptures? paintings?) made of cut-up pieces of both negatives and retro black & white pictures. Place an old lens in the center, and you have an eye symbolic of cameras. Or would it be a camera symbolic of eyes? All in all, another must-see in Wynwood during Second Saturday!
