Even before Pérez Art Museum Miami’s big opening night for the exhibition of historical and archival materials from Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s Surrounded Islands, it was clear this would be a different kind of show. As Christo himself said during a private tour a few days before the official opening: “This is not a normal exhibition. It’s a documentary exhibition — it goes beyond a work of art. It’s more like a museum of natural history.”

Peter Sean Brown was born in Philadelphia and is a U.S. citizen. But that fact apparently didn't matter to Monroe County Sheriff Rick Ramsay, whose deputies illegally held Brown in a jail overnight because they thought he should be deported to Jamaica, a country where he's never lived...
In recent years, the Miami Design Preservation League has become one of the loudest voices against harmful development across the county. It has battled gentrification in Little Havana, the trend of McMansions replacing historic homes, and a plan to turn the Miami Beach Community Church courtyard into a retail store. In many cases, the scrappy nonprofit has challenged the county's biggest developers and lobbyists.
Despite being built based on Welles’ notes and the input of people who were in front of and behind the camera on set, this The Other Side of the Wind has a haphazard “well, he shot it, so we better include it” vibe
If you haven't taken five minutes to listen to the audio published yesterday of young children screaming in terror and begging for their parents while a Border Patrol agent laughs at them, it's your duty as an American to hear it. This is the United States in 2018, where President Trump's official policy is to rip kids away from their parents and lock them in cages.
Just three days after 17 students and teachers were massacred at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High this past February 14, a gun show was held at a Miami community center. Others followed even closer to the school. Naturally, many parents are outraged. In April, the City of Fort Lauderdale ended its regular gun show at the city's War Memorial Auditorium...

Miami has a complex. Though the city boasts vasts stores of wealth, energy, and creativity, they are rarely reflected on the national stage. Just look at the recent lists that pass over the Magic City's incredible eateries for places like diners and spots serving Puerto Rican country food.
There will be an open-casket viewing.
The closure of the Wynwood Yard — one of the few midsize music venues in a city desperately in need of them — is yet another stumbling block for musicians looking to stay and thrive in Miami.
Miami's annual film review has returned. The tradition of polling a collection of local film experts, including critics and programmers who work for numerous publications, festivals, and cinemas in the city, was published on the website Dim the House Lights for 2015 and 2016, and the winners of the Miami...
We're now more than a week into the NBA season, and Jimmy Butler still plays for the Minnesota Timberwolves. That was not expected. Butler was supposed to be in Miami by now, or at least anywhere but Minnesota, after he requested a trade a month ago. Just a couple of...
It's been a couple of weeks since the Heat was rudely dismissed from the playoffs by the Philadelphia 76ers. Though the result of the series doesn't tell the entire story of how close the games against the Sixers were, one thing is certain as the Heat enters the offseason: Miami isn't close to being a serious contender, and it won't be in the conversation for an NBA title anytime soon.

For those who eat with their eyes, Gourmet Temptations, a pastry boutique in Surfside with decor worthy of a Parisian postcard, is a charming destination for sugar-coated delights.
Ah, tequila, burning like a raging inferno of poor decisions as it glides down the gullet. But the blue agave beverage isn't used only by college kids for nights of debauchery. Fifteen pushups and a shot of 1942 Don Julio are the winning ingredients to GTA’s success onstage.
The patchy morning clouds had just begun to dissipate when the Tri-Rail train pulled out of the Pompano Beach station, heading south through the fading twilight of dawn. Thick bushes, tall green grass, and squat tan buildings littered with colorful graffiti lined the tracks. The train thumped by, picking up...
It seems pretty common that Miami-area cops mishandle evidence and critical police property. Mere days after a group of Miami Police Department civilian employees were fired for driving away with property stored in evidence lockers, a City of Miami Beach worker, Jason Bruder, was hit today with nine misdemeanor charges...
As the August 28 primary draws closer, the battle to determine who will represent the Democratic Party in the governor's race is tight. So I've been busy stumping for Philip Levine, the former Miami Beach mayor who, in my opinion, is the best candidate to represent the interests of Florida's...
The Miami Dolphins entered Sunday's game against the New England Patriots looking to make a statement. They had a chance to not only move to 4-0 but also drop the Pats into last place in the AFC East, a full three games behind the Fins in the divisional standings with only 25 percent of the season gone. Everything was there for the taking if the Dolphins could find a way to beat the Patriots in Foxboro.

Clarens Desrouleaux spent five years in prison for burglary before he was deported to Haiti last year. The problem is that he never stole anything from anyone. Desrouleaux was, in fact, a victim of a heinous scheme by former Biscayne Park Police Chief Raimundo Atesiano in which he told his cops to frame black residents for burglaries in order to make his department seem competent.
Art evolves. Each new generation has a unique story to tell, and art is its storytelling medium. For a growing wave of creatives, technology is an essential aspect of life — and of the art that reflects it. “Technology really allows us to not just be passive viewers of the...
Living in a home with more than one room shouldn't really be considered a luxury in 21st-century America. The richest nation on the planet certainly has the resources to make sure single working parents or janitors on 12-hour shifts aren't forced to live in hovels. Yet here we are: The nonprofit National Low-Income Housing Coalition released a report yesterday titled "Out of Reach,"...
Miami-Dade County Administrative Law Judge Timothy Maher was arrested last week for reportedly threatening to shoot his family members in his El Portal home. Then, yesterday, Maher allegedly threatened to kill someone at his federal office, which handles disability and Social Security cases. Maher's threat was serious enough that the Federal Protective Service evacuated the building.
