Quick! Think of the most French thing possible. Did you too come up with Gérard Depardieu? Just saying his name makes us feel as though we’re floating down the Seine, gnawing on a baguette, and making out with Julie Delpy. So it’s fitting that the stocky, lovable Frenchie stars in…
Jerry Seinfeld was in Miami and he didn’t say hello? Hang on there, Uncle Leo. The king of sitcoms will be in town this weekend, and he’ll say a lot more than hello to you if you can nab a pair of the coveted tickets. Seinfeld, who played himself in…

Since we last talked about the Miami International Book Fair, there have been a few sad cancellations: Sir Michael Caine, Venus Williams, and Charles Burns. But there have also been some kicking additions (Dave Eggers!). Today, the Book Fair announced the official schedule of events, so let’s hope this means…

Photos by JipsySo Raw at NDSOh, Miami. We’ve been adulterous with our thoughts. We’ve been secretly pining for other cities, romanticizing their street markets. When the lights go off, we dream of going in and out of the aisles of London’s Spitalfields Market and running our fingers over smooth ceramic…
Conjure whatever cliché you prefer — Gwyneth Paltrow missing the elevator in Sliding Doors or a butterfly flapping its wings in Africa — but the tiniest moments can alter the course of your paltry, short life. Consider the recent success of artist Jillian Mayer who followed up on an email…
We have a real soft spot for plushies with button eyes (and even on humans, remember the flick Coraline?). Combine that with our hard-on for graffiti and this mural on 21 Street and N. Miami Avenue made us stop and snap. How awesome would it be to see something by…
We thought it was pretty freaking great news when we heard that Miami artist Jillian Mayer and Borscht filmmakers were shortlisted for the first ever biennale of creative video, the Guggenheim’s YouTube Play. As we told you a few weeks back, their video “Scenic Jogging” was one of 125 picked…
Question: What’s free, black and white, and has awesome written all over it? Answer: The Super Scary Movie Night, an evening of retro horror flicks and surreal soundtracks. Tomorrow night, artist Kevin Arrow and Barron Sherer will screen freaky Super 8 mm films — some from their own stash and…
Local vampires who have been sidelined from South Beach clubs, rejoice. This Saturday, you may enter Lux via an invitation to Theatre of the Vampires Halloween Ball. For those skeptical of whether vampires truly exist, consider ancient India’s vetalas, Greece’s striges, and Madagascar’s ramanga (who supplement their blood diet with…
Your only friend growing up was a drooling Saint Bernard named Cool Joe. He was an OK pal — that is, until he was bitten by a rabid bat and went insane in the membrane. He launched an ambush, killing your pa and leaving you stranded in an ’81 Ford…
Sesame Street couldn’t handle mixing kids’ programming with Katy Perry cleavage, but Yo Gabba Gabba! gets it right every time. Perhaps it’s because one of the show’s creators, Christian Jacobs, is MC Bat Commander of Cali synth-pop band the Aquabats. After becoming a father, he and a friend created Gabba,…

Henri Cartier-Bresson described photography as the “simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event.” And so he gave us snapshots of life’s fleeting prefect compositions: figures jumping over puddles and shadows kissing other shadows. On the other extreme is photographer William Wegman who deliberately…
Climb your own magic beanstalk and see some thought-provoking art in an unlikely place. In early October, artist Agustina Woodgate gave a one-night-only performance at the Miami-Dade Main Library’s Auditorium. In Jack and the Beanstalk, Woodgate used materials found in the library’s collections to give the English fairy tale a…

Photos by Amanda McCorquodaleEveryone has their pent-up rage. Some unleash it via Network-style outbursts or Falling Down-esque stomping tirades while others are like fed-up, cursing flight attendants busting out the emergency slide. Here in Miami, in 2010, we let out our frustration via paint and walls. Consider this ticked-off moment…
MTT and Ted Arison lighting the Lincoln’s marquee in 1989.Think before you snub classical music. Researchers tracked a group of dementia patients and as their gray matter went limp, their musical tastes jumped from Beethoven to Beiber. Digging symphony is not only proof that have brains, though, it may also…
Did you hear the one about the Chilean miners? Yeah, they hadn’t found that many miners in one place since raiding R. Kelly’s house. Of course, we’re only allowed to joke about being trapped in the earth now that all the victims are safely above ground (and in trouble with…

Even a design Neanderthal knows the name Michael Graves, thanks to the designer’s partnership with Target. For over tens years, he’s made such mundane errands as buying tea kettles and dish scrubbers into guilty pleasures – at least for shoppers with eye for design. But Graves is actually more known…
