During the January Second Saturday Art Walk Tennessee painter Jason Shawn Alexander has a solo exhibit at 101/exhibit in the Design District. In the past, he illustrated for Dark Horse Comics, Warner Brothers, DC Comics, and Hasbro. For this exhibit, his paintings display the complexity of double exposure photographs. Grimacing…
With all the recent holiday goodwill and merriment, we thought we’d found the perfect antidote in tomorrow night’s Lewis Black show at Hard Rock. But it looks like you’ll have to find your hilarious well of vitriol somewhere else. The modern-day grinch’s show has been canceled. We will surely miss…
Technically, Cultist has only been around since July, so this is really a roundup of Miami’s best street fashion from the last six months. But that’s long enough to spy some trends. Lord help you if your mama gave you thick thighs and a little junk in your trunk, because…
In honor of our MasterMind genius awards, Cultist proudly presents “100 Creatives,” where we feature Miami’s cultural superheroes in random order. Have suggestions for future profiles? Email cultist@miaminewtimes.com with the whos and whys.50. Ginger BardotFor a town as sex-infused as Miami, it’s strange that burlesque dancing is not more mainstream…
We recently released our picks for the ten best films of 2010, written by LA Weekly film critic Karina Longworth. And as soon as we saw Greenberg (the pick for the second best film of the year), we knew this list was trouble. Was Greenberg good? Yes. Was it also…
“I feel like this outfit screams ‘I’ve been living in Ohio for the past three years. Take me to your gross apartment and have sex with me,” Aura complains in recent indie hit Tiny Furniture. Comedies of humiliation are usually bred in the minds of those much older and male…
The Chinese invented fireworks in the Seventh Century to scare away evil spirits. By the 14th Century, that same chemistry was harnessed for rocket warfare. Now, we launch rockets over cities like Baghdad and Kabul. Wait, never mind — those are actually missiles. Best not to get the two confused…

Is W magazine obsessed with New Times? First they nabbed an interview with our Art Basel coverboy Bert Rodriguez, and now they’re profiling one of our picks from our People Issue, Jillian Mayer. Okay, with the first, maybe we were trying to get their attention by painting Rodriguez’s bare ass…
Just a small town girl. Living in a lonely world. She took the midnight train going anywhere. Just a city boy…Don’t stop believing. Despite the fact that your hair band days are now 20 years behind you, you can cling to your Freebirding glory days with the touring arena-rock love…
This week, the whole world seems to be buried under craploads of wrapping paper and credit card bills. But we know you’re out there, Miami artists in need of cash, and we’re trying to hand you some free money. For the second year, we’re awarding genius grants to deserving, independent…
Hitting the malls and big box stores this weekend, the last before the big yuletide gift exchange, will be about as pleasurable as having a rowdy gang of creepy leprechauns tickle you with their callused hands. But we’re not just venting. We have a solution. The perfect, anti-mall, gift oasis…
Miami has long been the central infected zone of an epidemic named Romero Britto. And it’s time to start talking quarantines, because the artist’s glossy pop art has not only infiltrated Paris, but the hallowed walls of the classiest art venue ever, the Louvre. (Well actually, his work will be…
The best thing about vaudeville is you never know what to expect. But if it’s December and Shameless Burlesque’s Holly Peño is involved, we’re guessing there will be an outfit of nothing but red pumps, fishnets, and a fringed lampshade. Her signature routine as the leg lamp from A Christmas…
A camera follows as a man and woman finally reach Chichen Itza, the Mayan ruin in the middle of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. But they still have to make it through Nogales to reach the light at the end of this dark tunnel, the U.S. It’s not what you think. This…
What was the best way to get the U.S. government’s attention in the Sixties? Pay a visit to Fidel Castro. That’s what Buffalo Tiger did in 1959, and three years later, his tribe, the Miccosukees, were recognized by the federal government. Tiger was born in 1920, right before the Tamiami…
“There once was a man from Nantucket, with” … a few more words and we’d qualify for the O, Miami’s Poet Census. The inaugural poetry festival, which begins this April, wants to do a head count of all the poets living in Miami-Dade. Founder P. Scott Cunningham, a former New…
Before there were terrorists, there were older brothers. They convinced our five-year-old selves that vacuum cleaners were really crazed, human-eating machines and that Brussels sprouts were actually decomposing alien heads. Thanks to them, we are now veggie-hating adults with really dirty floors. But local filmmaker Daniel Cardenas should appreciate his…
Miami New Times is looking for a writer to review theater, comedy, and other performances both for our print edition and the Cultist blog. The ideal candidate will have at least one year professional writing experience and knowledge of drama. He or she must be curious and discerning about performances…
An art walk after Art Basel is like being offered a KFC Double Down sandwich after Thanksgiving. We get it. You’re art-full. But we’re guessing you spent most last week traipsing around art fairs showing international artists. It’s time to support the local scene once again. In conjunction with the…
Images from the free tattoo parlor at Small Art Miami (AKA the Hello Kitty Basel pop-up shop) keep rolling in. Here’s Dokidoki Burger, the fresh tatt of Sean Ashworth. By the second day of the pop-up shop, it was no small chore to get one of the Sanrio tattoos. Ashworth…
Even if you’re tired from all the eye candy at Art Basel earlier this month, save room for more sweets. In honor of its 25th anniversary and Lincoln Road’s 50th, ArtCenter/South Florida is showing “Good & Plenty,” an exhibit featuring a select group of alum and current artist residents. ACSF…
