Stones Throw recording artist MADLIB returns to Miami for the ART BASEL Launch Party at the Black Sheep Bar on Miami Beach. Black Sheep Bar, formerly known as The Laundry Bar and recently known as 305 Lounge or the Spot, is attempting to break away from their classic Drum and Bass weeklies and is aggressively trying to break into the Indie-Rock and Indie Hip-Hop scene. MADLIB is a good way to start this transition and you can probably expect to see more artists and shows of this caliber at the Black Sheep Bar in the future.
THIS IS A FREE EVENT

PARADISE LOST
Paradise lost is the title of the epic poem BY 17th century english poet John Milton. In this 10 book series (published 1667) Milton describes the temptation of Adam and Eve by the fallen angel and their expulsion from the Garden of Eden. It is also considered as the story of the fall of man. In Nov. 23, 1981 James Kelly re-used this title in an article published by time magazine. This article dealt with the precarious duality Miami was going thru as a tourist city and crime capital of the united states. Kelly found a correlation, he titled his piece : "Paradise Lost" making reference to the loss of innocence due to temptation. Twelve artists were invited to intertwining this literary pieces and use them as subject matter in a body of work created for this showing.

Ultraviolet Palm Trees
Ultraviolet Palm Trees
Bright colors and visual patterns collide at 21st century speeds in
Gustavo Oviedo's latest exhibition tittled Ultraviolet Palm Trees, which
opens on November 7 at the Butter Gallery in Coconut Grove.
Fascinated by the repetitive nature of numerical patterns and inspired
by the possibilities of technolgy, Oviedo adopts a philosophy of
delivering visual impact by any means available to him. Space age vinyl
cut outs, laser branded cardboards and air conditioning ducts share the
exhibition space with organic materials alike in a homage to Miami. The
magic city that has shaped his artistic career since its early start.
"I am not concerned about the difficulty of a
particular process but with the end result instead. Speed is very
important to me. The mediums used in my work are representative of the
technology available. My choice of
colors is simply a reflection of my surroundings".
In recent years the known miami muralist has developed a following of
young collectors that identify with his work. For
this anticipated show, his first solo in five years, Oviedo has
transformed the exhibition space of the Butter Gallery with an
installation of his latest works and a small retrospective from years
past.
