 NINE PARTS OF DESIRE (SOUTHEASTERN US PREMIERE)=0D=0A=

 "POWERFUL!  IMPASSIONED!  VIVID!  MEMORABLE!"  New York Times=0D=0A=

 =0D=0A=
 Tyranny and war both come with extreme costs, and we often forget who pays.  From the outside looking in, it's easy to view a nation's population as some formless group, joined by a shared religion or language.  =0D=0A=
  =0D=0A=
 Writer/Performer Heather Raffo spent 11 years conducting dozens of interviews on and over four continents with Iraqi women.  Her resulting "theatrical mosaic" depicts the realities of life in Iraq both under Saddam Hussein and since his ouster for several of these unique women, whose individuals worlds have been frayed and fractured, sometimes beyond repair, by their country's history.  =0D=0A=
  =0D=0A=
 Nine Parts of Desire was inspired by Raffo's trip to the Saddam Art Center in Baghdad in 1993 where she saw only billboard-size portraits of Saddam Hussein. However, in a back room she discovered a painting of a nude woman clinging to a barren tree with her head bowed. There was a light in front of her, like a sun. Raffo took a photo of the painting in hopes of finding the artist, only to discover she had been killed during an American-led bombing raid in Baghdad earlier that year.=0D=0A=

 Enter Dorian Gray, a smolderingly perfect 18 year-old beauty with a mysterious past. When a bad-boy artist named Basil spots Dorian on the scene, he is instantly smitten (who wouldn’t be?), launches a bold seduction, and makes his conquest the star of a video installation that takes the city by storm: the eponymous picture of Dorian Gray. But for Dorian, the video sparks an allconsuming vanity, a fear of growing old and ugly, and ultimately, a bargain with the devil.=0D=0A=

 6:30 pm =0D=0A=
 Gusman Center of the Performing Arts =0D=0A=
 174 East Flagler Street, Downtown Miami, FL=0D=0A=
 In this sumptuous and groundbreaking romantic epic, forbidden love blossoms on a lush jungle island in modern China. It’s a place of haunting beauty and centuries-old customs, at once a liberating Eden and a repressive backwater. With tender lyricism, director Dai Sijie captures the emotion of this taboo love affair with precious few words and a treasure-trove of intoxicating images: an illicit sexual rendezvous on a mossy jungle bridge; a nude encounter in a steam-bath of hallucinatory herbs.=0D=0A=

 Boca Raton Museum of Art's Next Exhibition: Jeanne Hillary: Eden. A New Media Project February 28 through June 3, 2007 =0D=0A=
 The Boca Raton Museum of Art is pleased to announce the February 28th opening of Jeanne Hilary: Eden. A New Media Project, which will be on display through June 3, 2007. =0D=0A=
 JEANNE HILARY: EDEN. A NEW MEDIA PROJECT =0D=0A=
 Documentary photography presents the possibility of understanding. Paris-based American photographer Jeanne Hilary's Eden communicates a visionary “portrait of America” through photographic landscapes and portraits of everyday small towns across the country. =0D=0A=
 This exhibition of enigmatic large-format photographs and video is one component of an ambitious project which includes site-specific installations of the images on commercial outdoor billboards, electronic digital billboards and an interactive Eden website which incorporates imagery, text, poetry and recorded indigenous folk/roots music. The outdoor installations and the videotaped actions/reactions of the public to these images are connected to each other and viewers via the interactive website and exhibition. =0D=0A=
 Eden images are intended to draw attention to ideas of authenticity and changing concepts of time. Hilary states: “The philosophical foundation of the project is to evoke the histories of small-town America, and, via the website and digital billboards, bring these histories to urban dwellers both in and outside the USA. It is hoped that Eden will encourage viewers to think about their place in time, and see their environment as an historical place, of which the present moment is but one part of an endless accumulation of memory… Eden, is a view from the road of our good intentions.” =0D=0A=
 This project and exhibition has been supported by an Artist-in-Residency grant from the Palm Beach County Cultural Council. =0D=0A=
 The Boca Raton Museum of Art is open Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.; Wednesday 10 a.m. - 9 p.m.; and Saturday and Sunday noon - 5 p.m. Admission for this Special Exhibition is $17 for adults, $15 for senior citizens (65 and older), $12 per person for group tours and $6 for students. =0D=0A=
 About the Boca Raton Museum of Art: =0D=0A=

 NINE PARTS OF DESIRE (SOUTHEASTERN US PREMIERE)=0D=0A=

 April 11 - May 5, 2006=0D=0A=

 "POWERFUL!  IMPASSIONED!  VIVID!  MEMORABLE!"  New York Times=0D=0A=

 =0D=0A=
 Tyranny and war both come with extreme costs, and we often forget who pays.  From the outside looking in, it's easy to view a nation's population as some formless group, joined by a shared religion or language.  =0D=0A=
  =0D=0A=
 Writer/Performer Heather Raffo spent 11 years conducting dozens of interviews on and over four continents with Iraqi women.  Her resulting "theatrical mosaic" depicts the realities of life in Iraq both under Saddam Hussein and since his ouster for several of these unique women, whose individuals worlds have been frayed and fractured, sometimes beyond repair, by their country's history.  =0D=0A=
  =0D=0A=
 Nine Parts of Desire was inspired by Raffo's trip to the Saddam Art Center in Baghdad in 1993 where she saw only billboard-size portraits of Saddam Hussein. However, in a back room she discovered a painting of a nude woman clinging to a barren tree with her head bowed. There was a light in front of her, like a sun. Raffo took a photo of the painting in hopes of finding the artist, only to discover she had been killed during an American-led bombing raid in Baghdad earlier that year.=0D=0A=

 Enter Dorian Gray, a smolderingly perfect 18 year-old beauty with a mysterious past. When a bad-boy artist named Basil spots Dorian on the scene, he is instantly smitten (who wouldn’t be?), launches a bold seduction, and makes his conquest the star of a video installation that takes the city by storm: the eponymous picture of Dorian Gray. But for Dorian, the video sparks an allconsuming vanity, a fear of growing old and ugly, and ultimately, a bargain with the devil.=0D=0A=

 In this sumptuous and groundbreaking romantic epic, forbidden love blossoms on a lush jungle island in modern China. It’s a place of haunting beauty and centuries-old customs, at once a liberating Eden and a repressive backwater. With tender lyricism, director Dai Sijie captures the emotion of this taboo love affair with precious few words and a treasure-trove of intoxicating images: an illicit sexual rendezvous on a mossy jungle bridge; a nude encounter in a steam-bath of hallucinatory herbs.=0D=0A=

 Boca Raton Museum of Art's Next Exhibition: Jeanne Hillary: Eden. A New Media Project February 28 through June 3, 2007 =0D=0A=
 The Boca Raton Museum of Art is pleased to announce the February 28th opening of Jeanne Hilary: Eden. A New Media Project, which will be on display through June 3, 2007. =0D=0A=
 JEANNE HILARY: EDEN. A NEW MEDIA PROJECT =0D=0A=
 Documentary photography presents the possibility of understanding. Paris-based American photographer Jeanne Hilary's Eden communicates a visionary “portrait of America” through photographic landscapes and portraits of everyday small towns across the country. =0D=0A=
 This exhibition of enigmatic large-format photographs and video is one component of an ambitious project which includes site-specific installations of the images on commercial outdoor billboards, electronic digital billboards and an interactive Eden website which incorporates imagery, text, poetry and recorded indigenous folk/roots music. The outdoor installations and the videotaped actions/reactions of the public to these images are connected to each other and viewers via the interactive website and exhibition. =0D=0A=
 Eden images are intended to draw attention to ideas of authenticity and changing concepts of time. Hilary states: “The philosophical foundation of the project is to evoke the histories of small-town America, and, via the website and digital billboards, bring these histories to urban dwellers both in and outside the USA. It is hoped that Eden will encourage viewers to think about their place in time, and see their environment as an historical place, of which the present moment is but one part of an endless accumulation of memory… Eden, is a view from the road of our good intentions.” =0D=0A=
 This project and exhibition has been supported by an Artist-in-Residency grant from the Palm Beach County Cultural Council. =0D=0A=
 The Boca Raton Museum of Art is open Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.; Wednesday 10 a.m. - 9 p.m.; and Saturday and Sunday noon - 5 p.m. Admission for this Special Exhibition is $17 for adults, $15 for senior citizens (65 and older), $12 per person for group tours and $6 for students. =0D=0A=

 CAPTURE, BURN & BLOW UP features photography, photo-based work and video. In keeping with the mission of the Society of Photographic Educators that “seeks to promote a broader understanding of the medium in all its forms, and to foster the development of its practice, teaching, scholarship and criticism,…” some of the artists in this exhibit are teachers while others educate through the story implicit in their images. The group show presents the work of artists Priscilla Ferguson, Gerardo Marulanda, Rolando Dal Pezzo, Alette Simmons-Jimenez, Maria Caridad Perez, Vanessa Monokian, Lourdes Peñaranda, and Hugo Moro. Whether the artist first gazed through the lens to discover his inspiration, or, once inspired, the lens became the tool through which a concept was developed, the assembled collection presents a kaleidoscopic view of richly complex and varied work.

 CAPTURE, BURN & BLOW UP features photography, photo-based work and video. In keeping with the mission of the Society of Photographic Educators that “seeks to promote a broader understanding of the medium in all its forms, and to foster the development of its practice, teaching, scholarship and criticism,…” some of the artists in this exhibit are teachers while others educate through the story implicit in their images. The group show presents the work of artists Priscilla Ferguson, Gerardo Marulanda, Rolando Dal Pezzo, Alette Simmons-Jimenez, Maria Caridad Perez, Vanessa Monokian, Lourdes Peñaranda, and Hugo Moro. Whether the artist first gazed through the lens to discover his inspiration, or, once inspired, the lens became the tool through which a concept was developed, the assembled collection presents a kaleidoscopic view of richly complex and varied work. In their first collaborative project, The Moore Space and Locust Projects are pleased to present the two-venue exhibition Conditions of Display, curated by Gean Moreno. This exhibition will open to the public at both locations on SATURDAY, APRIL 14, 2007 FROM 7-10PM and will include the following 23 artists: Shahin Afrassiabi, Tobias Buche, Gardar Einar Einarsson, Eugenio Espinoza, Andrea Fraser, Gaylen Gerber, Adler Guerrier, Swetlana Heger, Gareth James, Sergej Jensen, Michael Krebber, Michaela Meise, Paulina Olowska, Elena Pankova, Sean Paul, Kristen Pieroth, Seth Price, Blake Rayne, Michael S. Riedel, Josh Smith, Christopher Williams, Johannes Wohnseifer, and Kevin Zucker. =0D=0A=
 In recent years there has been a renewed interest among younger artists to produce work that rescues some of the critical gestures of past generations. Conditions of Display sets out to showcase and explore the meaning of this refocusing on display strategies, presentational contexts, and the myriad ways in which artworks are framed and distributed. Stemming from the preoccupations of early conceptual artists that first turned toward a rigorous investigation of site, the concerns of these younger artists engage not only the immediate physical locale where the work is exhibited but the systems of distribution and display in which they function. Beyond this, the exhibition will explore how the critical gestures fare in our contemporary socio-cultural situation. =0D=0A=
 The work of five artists that first emerged in the late 1980s and early 1990s-Andrea Fraser, Christopher Williams, Michael Krebber, Eugenio Espinoza and Gaylen Geber-made theirs the tradition of institutional critique and context-specific production. Against these, the work of the younger artists in Conditions of Display will be presented. Relying on different media-from digital videos to banners to paintings-these younger artists have revived certain critical and self-reflexive gestures, renewing an interrogation of site and the systems that frame the art object while remaining keenly aware of the socio-cultural situation in which the function. =0D=0A=
 Along with pre-existing objects, a number of the artists will be producing projects specifically for this exhibition. Gaylen Gerber will participate with a new Backdrop painting made specifically for The Moore Space. Berlin-based artist Tobias Buche will build a new, large-scaled display unit. Shahin Afrassiabi has shot a new video that focuses on educational spaces. Miami-based artists Adler Guerrier and Eugenio Espinoza will both make new work. Guerrier’s will involve, among other things, a psycho-geography of the increasingly-gentrified neighborhood of Wynwood and Espinoza will be rehabilitating part of the installation that he produced for Locust Projects in 2005. Sean Paul and Michael S Riedel are both working on context-specific reactions to the sites in which this exhibition will take place. Gardar Einar Einarsson and Blake Rayne will also be participating with new work. =0D=0A=
 This exhibition runs through the end of June at both locations. The Moore Space is a non-profit art space in the Design District in Miami. Founded in 2001, its mission is to present international contemporary art forms. It will achieve this through an experimental program of cross-disciplinary exhibitions, performances, artists and curators residencies and public programs which reflect the state of contemporary art today: new forms, new voices and new thought. The Moore Space is located at 4040 NE 2nd Avenue, 2nd floor in the Design District. =0D=0A=
 Locust Projects is an alternative, not for profit, Miami based exhibition space dedicated to providing contemporary visual artists the freedom to experiment with new ideas and methods without the pressures of gallery sales or other limitations of conventional exhibition spaces. Artists are encouraged to create site-specific installations as an extension of their representative work; Locust Projects offers them a vibrant Miami experience to develop their ideas and methods. Locust Projects is committed to offering an approachable and inviting venue for the Miami and international art community to experience the work and meet the artist. Locust Projects is located at 105 NW 23rd Street in Wynwood.

 NINE PARTS OF DESIRE (SOUTHEASTERN US PREMIERE)=0D=0A=
 by Heather Raffo=0D=0A=
 April 11 - May 5, 2006=0D=0A=
  =0D=0A=
 "POWERFUL!  IMPASSIONED!  VIVID!  MEMORABLE!"  New York Times=0D=0A=

 "AN EXAMPLE OF HOW ART CAN REMAKE THE WORLD!  A TRIUMPH!  THRILLING!"  The New Yorker=0D=0A=
 =0D=0A=
 Tyranny and war both come with extreme costs, and we often forget who pays.  From the outside looking in, it's easy to view a nation's population as some formless group, joined by a shared religion or language.  =0D=0A=
  =0D=0A=
 Writer/Performer Heather Raffo spent 11 years conducting dozens of interviews on and over four continents with Iraqi women.  Her resulting "theatrical mosaic" depicts the realities of life in Iraq both under Saddam Hussein and since his ouster for several of these unique women, whose individuals worlds have been frayed and fractured, sometimes beyond repair, by their country's history.  =0D=0A=
  =0D=0A=
 Nine Parts of Desire was inspired by Raffo's trip to the Saddam Art Center in Baghdad in 1993 where she saw only billboard-size portraits of Saddam Hussein. However, in a back room she discovered a painting of a nude woman clinging to a barren tree with her head bowed. There was a light in front of her, like a sun. Raffo took a photo of the painting in hopes of finding the artist, only to discover she had been killed during an American-led bombing raid in Baghdad earlier that year.=0D=0A=

 Enter Dorian Gray, a smolderingly perfect 18 year-old beauty with a mysterious past. When a bad-boy artist named Basil spots Dorian on the scene, he is instantly smitten (who wouldn’t be?), launches a bold seduction, and makes his conquest the star of a video installation that takes the city by storm: the eponymous picture of Dorian Gray. But for Dorian, the video sparks an allconsuming vanity, a fear of growing old and ugly, and ultimately, a bargain with the devil.=0D=0A=

 In this sumptuous and groundbreaking romantic epic, forbidden love blossoms on a lush jungle island in modern China. It’s a place of haunting beauty and centuries-old customs, at once a liberating Eden and a repressive backwater. With tender lyricism, director Dai Sijie captures the emotion of this taboo love affair with precious few words and a treasure-trove of intoxicating images: an illicit sexual rendezvous on a mossy jungle bridge; a nude encounter in a steam-bath of hallucinatory herbs.=0D=0A=

 Boca Raton Museum of Art's Next Exhibition: Jeanne Hillary: Eden. A New Media Project February 28 through June 3, 2007 =0D=0A=
 The Boca Raton Museum of Art is pleased to announce the February 28th opening of Jeanne Hilary: Eden. A New Media Project, which will be on display through June 3, 2007. =0D=0A=
 JEANNE HILARY: EDEN. A NEW MEDIA PROJECT =0D=0A=
 Documentary photography presents the possibility of understanding. Paris-based American photographer Jeanne Hilary's Eden communicates a visionary “portrait of America” through photographic landscapes and portraits of everyday small towns across the country. =0D=0A=
 This exhibition of enigmatic large-format photographs and video is one component of an ambitious project which includes site-specific installations of the images on commercial outdoor billboards, electronic digital billboards and an interactive Eden website which incorporates imagery, text, poetry and recorded indigenous folk/roots music. The outdoor installations and the videotaped actions/reactions of the public to these images are connected to each other and viewers via the interactive website and exhibition. =0D=0A=
 Eden images are intended to draw attention to ideas of authenticity and changing concepts of time. Hilary states: “The philosophical foundation of the project is to evoke the histories of small-town America, and, via the website and digital billboards, bring these histories to urban dwellers both in and outside the USA. It is hoped that Eden will encourage viewers to think about their place in time, and see their environment as an historical place, of which the present moment is but one part of an endless accumulation of memory… Eden, is a view from the road of our good intentions.” =0D=0A=
 This project and exhibition has been supported by an Artist-in-Residency grant from the Palm Beach County Cultural Council. =0D=0A=
 The Boca Raton Museum of Art is open Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.; Wednesday 10 a.m. - 9 p.m.; and Saturday and Sunday noon - 5 p.m. Admission for this Special Exhibition is $17 for adults, $15 for senior citizens (65 and older), $12 per person for group tours and $6 for students. =0D=0A=

 =0D=0A=
 The “PSYCHE” exhibtition runs from April 14, 2007 to May 19, 2007. The opening reception is slated for Saturday, April 14, 2007 from 7:00 to 11:00 p.m. during the Wynwood Arts District Gallery Walk. The event is free and open to the public.=0D=0A=

 For the first time, pieces from LoCastro’s private art collection will be on view, as well as new, original paintings and drawings by the artist, available for purchase. LoCastro’s collection and work focuses on the avant-garde lowbrow/ pop surrealist movement, which has been the passion and advocacy of the artist and independent curator for the last ten years. Over 50 works by some of the movement’s biggest names will be on display and several of them will be released for sale.=0D=0A=
 =0D=0A=
 The “PSYCHE” exhibition marks LoCastro’s decade-long journey from local artist to a recognized figure of the worldwide art phenomenon. “South Florida’s undisputed King of Lowbrow” (Flavorpill.com) takes a break from his national exhibition schedule to give Miami an intimate glimpse at the work that inspired him and the movement that catapulted LoCastro to be “a permanent force to be reckoned with” (Juxtapoz Magazine).=0D=0A=
 =0D=0A=
 LoCastro adds: “Antikulture Magazine and Gallery are vital in bringing a new and exciting perspective on art to the forefront of Miami’s slowly flourishing cultural scene. It’s the reason why I chose to work with the Antikulture team on this very personal project of mine; and I am confident that their positive attitude and professionalism will be embraced by the local art community that is ready for a new approach and fresh point of view.”

 CAPTURE, BURN & BLOW UP features photography, photo-based work and video. In keeping with the mission of the Society of Photographic Educators that “seeks to promote a broader understanding of the medium in all its forms, and to foster the development of its practice, teaching, scholarship and criticism,…” some of the artists in this exhibit are teachers while others educate through the story implicit in their images. The group show presents the work of artists Priscilla Ferguson, Gerardo Marulanda, Rolando Dal Pezzo, Alette Simmons-Jimenez, Maria Caridad Perez, Vanessa Monokian, Lourdes Peñaranda, and Hugo Moro. Whether the artist first gazed through the lens to discover his inspiration, or, once inspired, the lens became the tool through which a concept was developed, the assembled collection presents a kaleidoscopic view of richly complex and varied work. In their first collaborative project, The Moore Space and Locust Projects are pleased to present the two-venue exhibition Conditions of Display, curated by Gean Moreno. This exhibition will open to the public at both locations on SATURDAY, APRIL 14, 2007 FROM 7-10PM and will include the following 23 artists: Shahin Afrassiabi, Tobias Buche, Gardar Einar Einarsson, Eugenio Espinoza, Andrea Fraser, Gaylen Gerber, Adler Guerrier, Swetlana Heger, Gareth James, Sergej Jensen, Michael Krebber, Michaela Meise, Paulina Olowska, Elena Pankova, Sean Paul, Kristen Pieroth, Seth Price, Blake Rayne, Michael S. Riedel, Josh Smith, Christopher Williams, Johannes Wohnseifer, and Kevin Zucker. =0D=0A=
 In recent years there has been a renewed interest among younger artists to produce work that rescues some of the critical gestures of past generations. Conditions of Display sets out to showcase and explore the meaning of this refocusing on display strategies, presentational contexts, and the myriad ways in which artworks are framed and distributed. Stemming from the preoccupations of early conceptual artists that first turned toward a rigorous investigation of site, the concerns of these younger artists engage not only the immediate physical locale where the work is exhibited but the systems of distribution and display in which they function. Beyond this, the exhibition will explore how the critical gestures fare in our contemporary socio-cultural situation. =0D=0A=
 The work of five artists that first emerged in the late 1980s and early 1990s-Andrea Fraser, Christopher Williams, Michael Krebber, Eugenio Espinoza and Gaylen Geber-made theirs the tradition of institutional critique and context-specific production. Against these, the work of the younger artists in Conditions of Display will be presented. Relying on different media-from digital videos to banners to paintings-these younger artists have revived certain critical and self-reflexive gestures, renewing an interrogation of site and the systems that frame the art object while remaining keenly aware of the socio-cultural situation in which the function. =0D=0A=
 Along with pre-existing objects, a number of the artists will be producing projects specifically for this exhibition. Gaylen Gerber will participate with a new Backdrop painting made specifically for The Moore Space. Berlin-based artist Tobias Buche will build a new, large-scaled display unit. Shahin Afrassiabi has shot a new video that focuses on educational spaces. Miami-based artists Adler Guerrier and Eugenio Espinoza will both make new work. Guerrier’s will involve, among other things, a psycho-geography of the increasingly-gentrified neighborhood of Wynwood and Espinoza will be rehabilitating part of the installation that he produced for Locust Projects in 2005. Sean Paul and Michael S Riedel are both working on context-specific reactions to the sites in which this exhibition will take place. Gardar Einar Einarsson and Blake Rayne will also be participating with new work. =0D=0A=
 This exhibition runs through the end of June at both locations. The Moore Space is a non-profit art space in the Design District in Miami. Founded in 2001, its mission is to present international contemporary art forms. It will achieve this through an experimental program of cross-disciplinary exhibitions, performances, artists and curators residencies and public programs which reflect the state of contemporary art today: new forms, new voices and new thought. The Moore Space is located at 4040 NE 2nd Avenue, 2nd floor in the Design District. =0D=0A=
 Locust Projects is an alternative, not for profit, Miami based exhibition space dedicated to providing contemporary visual artists the freedom to experiment with new ideas and methods without the pressures of gallery sales or other limitations of conventional exhibition spaces. Artists are encouraged to create site-specific installations as an extension of their representative work; Locust Projects offers them a vibrant Miami experience to develop their ideas and methods. Locust Projects is committed to offering an approachable and inviting venue for the Miami and international art community to experience the work and meet the artist. Locust Projects is located at 105 NW 23rd Street in Wynwood. =0D=0A=
 Antikulture Gallery & Boutique Announces Grand Opening with LoCastro’s “PSYCHE” Exhibition. =0D=0A=
 Antikulture Gallery & Boutique opens its doors to the public with “PSYCHE” a special exhibition curated by local lowbrow pioneer Francesco LoCastro who was behind the Art Center/ South Florida’s "We'll Make a Lover of You" exhibition during Art Basel, Miami Beach. =0D=0A=
 =0D=0A=
 The “PSYCHE” exhibtition runs from April 14, 2007 to May 19, 2007. The opening reception is slated for Saturday, April 14, 2007 from 7:00 to 11:00 p.m. during the Wynwood Arts District Gallery Walk. The event is free and open to the public.=0D=0A=

 For the first time, pieces from LoCastro’s private art collection will be on view, as well as new, original paintings and drawings by the artist, available for purchase. LoCastro’s collection and work focuses on the avant-garde lowbrow/ pop surrealist movement, which has been the passion and advocacy of the artist and independent curator for the last ten years. Over 50 works by some of the movement’s biggest names will be on display and several of them will be released for sale.=0D=0A=
 =0D=0A=
 The “PSYCHE” exhibition marks LoCastro’s decade-long journey from local artist to a recognized figure of the worldwide art phenomenon. “South Florida’s undisputed King of Lowbrow” (Flavorpill.com) takes a break from his national exhibition schedule to give Miami an intimate glimpse at the work that inspired him and the movement that catapulted LoCastro to be “a permanent force to be reckoned with” (Juxtapoz Magazine).=0D=0A=
 =0D=0A=
 LoCastro adds: “Antikulture Magazine and Gallery are vital in bringing a new and exciting perspective on art to the forefront of Miami’s slowly flourishing cultural scene. It’s the reason why I chose to work with the Antikulture team on this very personal project of mine; and I am confident that their positive attitude and professionalism will be embraced by the local art community that is ready for a new approach and fresh point of view.”Chicano Visions=0D=0A=
 American Painters on the Verge=0D=0A=
 Now through May 1=0D=0A=
 Seventy-seven works by 26 Chicano artists, drawn mostly from the collection of Cheech Marin, who in less than two decades has built one of the largest collections of Chicano art in the world. "The Chicano School of Painting has always been about re-interpreting a culture," says Marin. "That culture has been shown to be diverse, yet unified, profane and spiritual, traditional and avant-garde. Where other 'schools' of painting have been defined overwhelmingly by stylistic concerns, the Chicano School combines stylistic innovation, blends traditional Mexican popular and religious iconography with modern images of urban angst, and reflects the continually evolving role of Mexican Americans or Chicanos within a larger 'American' society." =0D=0A=

 NINE PARTS OF DESIRE (SOUTHEASTERN US PREMIERE)=0D=0A=

 Tyranny and war both come with extreme costs, and we often forget who pays.  From the outside looking in, it's easy to view a nation's population as some formless group, joined by a shared religion or language.  =0D=0A=
  =0D=0A=
 Writer/Performer Heather Raffo spent 11 years conducting dozens of interviews on and over four continents with Iraqi women.  Her resulting "theatrical mosaic" depicts the realities of life in Iraq both under Saddam Hussein and since his ouster for several of these unique women, whose individuals worlds have been frayed and fractured, sometimes beyond repair, by their country's history.  =0D=0A=
  =0D=0A=
 Nine Parts of Desire was inspired by Raffo's trip to the Saddam Art Center in Baghdad in 1993 where she saw only billboard-size portraits of Saddam Hussein. However, in a back room she discovered a painting of a nude woman clinging to a barren tree with her head bowed. There was a light in front of her, like a sun. Raffo took a photo of the painting in hopes of finding the artist, only to discover she had been killed during an American-led bombing raid in Baghdad earlier that year.=0D=0A=

 Enter Dorian Gray, a smolderingly perfect 18 year-old beauty with a mysterious past. When a bad-boy artist named Basil spots Dorian on the scene, he is instantly smitten (who wouldn’t be?), launches a bold seduction, and makes his conquest the star of a video installation that takes the city by storm: the eponymous picture of Dorian Gray. But for Dorian, the video sparks an allconsuming vanity, a fear of growing old and ugly, and ultimately, a bargain with the devil.=0D=0A=

 In this sumptuous and groundbreaking romantic epic, forbidden love blossoms on a lush jungle island in modern China. It’s a place of haunting beauty and centuries-old customs, at once a liberating Eden and a repressive backwater. With tender lyricism, director Dai Sijie captures the emotion of this taboo love affair with precious few words and a treasure-trove of intoxicating images: an illicit sexual rendezvous on a mossy jungle bridge; a nude encounter in a steam-bath of hallucinatory herbs.=0D=0A=

 Boca Raton Museum of Art's Next Exhibition: Jeanne Hillary: Eden. A New Media Project February 28 through June 3, 2007 =0D=0A=
 The Boca Raton Museum of Art is pleased to announce the February 28th opening of Jeanne Hilary: Eden. A New Media Project, which will be on display through June 3, 2007. =0D=0A=
 JEANNE HILARY: EDEN. A NEW MEDIA PROJECT =0D=0A=
 Documentary photography presents the possibility of understanding. Paris-based American photographer Jeanne Hilary's Eden communicates a visionary “portrait of America” through photographic landscapes and portraits of everyday small towns across the country. =0D=0A=
 This exhibition of enigmatic large-format photographs and video is one component of an ambitious project which includes site-specific installations of the images on commercial outdoor billboards, electronic digital billboards and an interactive Eden website which incorporates imagery, text, poetry and recorded indigenous folk/roots music. The outdoor installations and the videotaped actions/reactions of the public to these images are connected to each other and viewers via the interactive website and exhibition. =0D=0A=
 Eden images are intended to draw attention to ideas of authenticity and changing concepts of time. Hilary states: “The philosophical foundation of the project is to evoke the histories of small-town America, and, via the website and digital billboards, bring these histories to urban dwellers both in and outside the USA. It is hoped that Eden will encourage viewers to think about their place in time, and see their environment as an historical place, of which the present moment is but one part of an endless accumulation of memory… Eden, is a view from the road of our good intentions.” =0D=0A=
 This project and exhibition has been supported by an Artist-in-Residency grant from the Palm Beach County Cultural Council. =0D=0A=
 The Boca Raton Museum of Art is open Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.; Wednesday 10 a.m. - 9 p.m.; and Saturday and Sunday noon - 5 p.m. Admission for this Special Exhibition is $17 for adults, $15 for senior citizens (65 and older), $12 per person for group tours and $6 for students. =0D=0A=

 CAPTURE, BURN & BLOW UP features photography, photo-based work and video. In keeping with the mission of the Society of Photographic Educators that “seeks to promote a broader understanding of the medium in all its forms, and to foster the development of its practice, teaching, scholarship and criticism,…” some of the artists in this exhibit are teachers while others educate through the story implicit in their images. The group show presents the work of artists Priscilla Ferguson, Gerardo Marulanda, Rolando Dal Pezzo, Alette Simmons-Jimenez, Maria Caridad Perez, Vanessa Monokian, Lourdes Peñaranda, and Hugo Moro.

 Seventy-seven works by 26 Chicano artists, drawn mostly from the collection of Cheech Marin, who in less than two decades has built one of the largest collections of Chicano art in the world. "The Chicano School of Painting has always been about re-interpreting a culture," says Marin. "That culture has been shown to be diverse, yet unified, profane and spiritual, traditional and avant-garde. Where other 'schools' of painting have been defined overwhelmingly by stylistic concerns, the Chicano School combines stylistic innovation, blends traditional Mexican popular and religious iconography with modern images of urban angst, and reflects the continually evolving role of Mexican Americans or Chicanos within a larger 'American' society." =0D=0A=

  =0D=0A=
 Writer/Performer Heather Raffo spent 11 years conducting dozens of interviews on and over four continents with Iraqi women.  Her resulting "theatrical mosaic" depicts the realities of life in Iraq both under Saddam Hussein and since his ouster for several of these unique women, whose individuals worlds have been frayed and fractured, sometimes beyond repair, by their country's history.  =0D=0A=
  =0D=0A=
 Nine Parts of Desire was inspired by Raffo's trip to the Saddam Art Center in Baghdad in 1993 where she saw only billboard-size portraits of Saddam Hussein. However, in a back room she discovered a painting of a nude woman clinging to a barren tree with her head bowed. There was a light in front of her, like a sun. Raffo took a photo of the painting in hopes of finding the artist, only to discover she had been killed during an American-led bombing raid in Baghdad earlier that year.=0D=0A=

When a bad-boy artist named Basil spots Dorian on the scene, he is instantly smitten (who wouldn’t be?), launches a bold seduction, and makes his conquest the star of a video installation that takes the city by storm: the eponymous picture of Dorian Gray.

 In this sumptuous and groundbreaking romantic epic, forbidden love blossoms on a lush jungle island in modern China. It’s a place of haunting beauty and centuries-old customs, at once a liberating Eden and a repressive backwater. With tender lyricism, director Dai Sijie captures the emotion of this taboo love affair with precious few words and a treasure-trove of intoxicating images: an illicit sexual rendezvous on a mossy jungle bridge; a nude encounter in a steam-bath of hallucinatory herbs.=0D=0A=

 Boca Raton Museum of Art's Next Exhibition: Jeanne Hillary: Eden. A New Media Project February 28 through June 3, 2007 =0D=0A=
 The Boca Raton Museum of Art is pleased to announce the February 28th opening of Jeanne Hilary: Eden. A New Media Project, which will be on display through June 3, 2007. =0D=0A=
 JEANNE HILARY: EDEN. A NEW MEDIA PROJECT =0D=0A=
 Documentary photography presents the possibility of understanding. Paris-based American photographer Jeanne Hilary's Eden communicates a visionary “portrait of America” through photographic landscapes and portraits of everyday small towns across the country. =0D=0A=
 This exhibition of enigmatic large-format photographs and video is one component of an ambitious project which includes site-specific installations of the images on commercial outdoor billboards, electronic digital billboards and an interactive Eden website which incorporates imagery, text, poetry and recorded indigenous folk/roots music. The outdoor installations and the videotaped actions/reactions of the public to these images are connected to each other and viewers via the interactive website and exhibition. =0D=0A=
 Eden images are intended to draw attention to ideas of authenticity and changing concepts of time. Hilary states: “The philosophical foundation of the project is to evoke the histories of small-town America, and, via the website and digital billboards, bring these histories to urban dwellers both in and outside the USA. It is hoped that Eden will encourage viewers to think about their place in time, and see their environment as an historical place, of which the present moment is but one part of an endless accumulation of memory… Eden, is a view from the road of our good intentions.” =0D=0A=
 This project and exhibition has been supported by an Artist-in-Residency grant from the Palm Beach County Cultural Council. =0D=0A=
 The Boca Raton Museum of Art is open Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.; Wednesday 10 a.m. - 9 p.m.; and Saturday and Sunday noon - 5 p.m. Admission for this Special Exhibition is $17 for adults, $15 for senior citizens (65 and older), $12 per person for group tours and $6 for students. =0D=0A=

 CAPTURE, BURN & BLOW UP features photography, photo-based work and video. In keeping with the mission of the Society of Photographic Educators that “seeks to promote a broader understanding of the medium in all its forms, and to foster the development of its practice, teaching, scholarship and criticism,…” some of the artists in this exhibit are teachers while others educate through the story implicit in their images. The group show presents the work of artists Priscilla Ferguson, Gerardo Marulanda, Rolando Dal Pezzo, Alette Simmons-Jimenez, Maria Caridad Perez, Vanessa Monokian, Lourdes Peñaranda, and Hugo Moro. Whether the artist first gazed through the lens to discover his inspiration, or, once inspired, the lens became the tool through which a concept was developed, the assembled collection presents a kaleidoscopic view of richly complex and varied work. In their first collaborative project, The Moore Space and Locust Projects are pleased to present the two-venue exhibition Conditions of Display, curated by Gean Moreno. This exhibition will open to the public at both locations on SATURDAY, APRIL 14, 2007 FROM 7-10PM and will include the following 23 artists: Shahin Afrassiabi, Tobias Buche, Gardar Einar Einarsson, Eugenio Espinoza, Andrea Fraser, Gaylen Gerber, Adler Guerrier, Swetlana Heger, Gareth James, Sergej Jensen, Michael Krebber, Michaela Meise, Paulina Olowska, Elena Pankova, Sean Paul, Kristen Pieroth, Seth Price, Blake Rayne, Michael S. Riedel, Josh Smith, Christopher Williams, Johannes Wohnseifer, and Kevin Zucker. =0D=0A=
 In recent years there has been a renewed interest among younger artists to produce work that rescues some of the critical gestures of past generations. Conditions of Display sets out to showcase and explore the meaning of this refocusing on display strategies, presentational contexts, and the myriad ways in which artworks are framed and distributed. Stemming from the preoccupations of early conceptual artists that first turned toward a rigorous investigation of site, the concerns of these younger artists engage not only the immediate physical locale where the work is exhibited but the systems of distribution and display in which they function. Beyond this, the exhibition will explore how the critical gestures fare in our contemporary socio-cultural situation. =0D=0A=
 The work of five artists that first emerged in the late 1980s and early 1990s-Andrea Fraser, Christopher Williams, Michael Krebber, Eugenio Espinoza and Gaylen Geber-made theirs the tradition of institutional critique and context-specific production. Against these, the work of the younger artists in Conditions of Display will be presented. Relying on different media-from digital videos to banners to paintings-these younger artists have revived certain critical and self-reflexive gestures, renewing an interrogation of site and the systems that frame the art object while remaining keenly aware of the socio-cultural situation in which the function. =0D=0A=
 Along with pre-existing objects, a number of the artists will be producing projects specifically for this exhibition. Gaylen Gerber will participate with a new Backdrop painting made specifically for The Moore Space. Berlin-based artist Tobias Buche will build a new, large-scaled display unit. Shahin Afrassiabi has shot a new video that focuses on educational spaces. Miami-based artists Adler Guerrier and Eugenio Espinoza will both make new work. Guerrier’s will involve, among other things, a psycho-geography of the increasingly-gentrified neighborhood of Wynwood and Espinoza will be rehabilitating part of the installation that he produced for Locust Projects in 2005. Sean Paul and Michael S Riedel are both working on context-specific reactions to the sites in which this exhibition will take place. Gardar Einar Einarsson and Blake Rayne will also be participating with new work. =0D=0A=
 This exhibition runs through the end of June at both locations. The Moore Space is a non-profit art space in the Design District in Miami. Founded in 2001, its mission is to present international contemporary art forms. It will achieve this through an experimental program of cross-disciplinary exhibitions, performances, artists and curators residencies and public programs which reflect the state of contemporary art today: new forms, new voices and new thought. The Moore Space is located at 4040 NE 2nd Avenue, 2nd floor in the Design District. =0D=0A=
 Locust Projects is an alternative, not for profit, Miami based exhibition space dedicated to providing contemporary visual artists the freedom to experiment with new ideas and methods without the pressures of gallery sales or other limitations of conventional exhibition spaces. Artists are encouraged to create site-specific installations as an extension of their representative work; Locust Projects offers them a vibrant Miami experience to develop their ideas and methods. Locust Projects is committed to offering an approachable and inviting venue for the Miami and international art community to experience the work and meet the artist. Locust Projects is located at 105 NW 23rd Street in Wynwood. =0D=0A=
 Antikulture Gallery & Boutique Announces Grand Opening with LoCastro’s “PSYCHE” Exhibition. =0D=0A=

 =0D=0A=
 The “PSYCHE” exhibtition runs from April 14, 2007 to May 19, 2007. The opening reception is slated for Saturday, April 14, 2007 from 7:00 to 11:00 p.m. during the Wynwood Arts District Gallery Walk. The event is free and open to the public.=0D=0A=

 For the first time, pieces from LoCastro’s private art collection will be on view, as well as new, original paintings and drawings by the artist, available for purchase. LoCastro’s collection and work focuses on the avant-garde lowbrow/ pop surrealist movement, which has been the passion and advocacy of the artist and independent curator for the last ten years. Over 50 works by some of the movement’s biggest names will be on display and several of them will be released for sale.=0D=0A=
 =0D=0A=
 The “PSYCHE” exhibition marks LoCastro’s decade-long journey from local artist to a recognized figure of the worldwide art phenomenon. “South Florida’s undisputed King of Lowbrow” (Flavorpill.com) takes a break from his national exhibition schedule to give Miami an intimate glimpse at the work that inspired him and the movement that catapulted LoCastro to be “a permanent force to be reckoned with” (Juxtapoz Magazine).=0D=0A=
 =0D=0A=
 LoCastro adds: “Antikulture Magazine and Gallery are vital in bringing a new and exciting perspective on art to the forefront of Miami’s slowly flourishing cultural scene. It’s the reason why I chose to work with the Antikulture team on this very personal project of mine; and I am confident that their positive attitude and professionalism will be embraced by the local art community that is ready for a new approach and fresh point of view.”Chicano Visions=0D=0A=

 CAPTURE, BURN & BLOW UP features photography, photo-based work and video. In keeping with the mission of the Society of Photographic Educators that “seeks to promote a broader understanding of the medium in all its forms, and to foster the development of its practice, teaching, scholarship and criticism,…” some of the artists in this exhibit are teachers while others educate through the story implicit in their images. The group show presents the work of artists Priscilla Ferguson, Gerardo Marulanda, Rolando Dal Pezzo, Alette Simmons-Jimenez, Maria Caridad Perez, Vanessa Monokian, Lourdes Peñaranda, and Hugo Moro. Whether the artist first gazed through the lens to discover his inspiration, or, once inspired, the lens became the tool through which a concept was developed, the assembled collection presents a kaleidoscopic view of richly complex and varied work. In their first collaborative project, The Moore Space and Locust Projects are pleased to present the two-venue exhibition Conditions of Display, curated by Gean Moreno. This exhibition will open to the public at both locations on SATURDAY, APRIL 14, 2007 FROM 7-10PM and will include the following 23 artists: Shahin Afrassiabi, Tobias Buche, Gardar Einar Einarsson, Eugenio Espinoza, Andrea Fraser, Gaylen Gerber, Adler Guerrier, Swetlana Heger, Gareth James, Sergej Jensen, Michael Krebber, Michaela Meise, Paulina Olowska, Elena Pankova, Sean Paul, Kristen Pieroth, Seth Price, Blake Rayne, Michael S. Riedel, Josh Smith, Christopher Williams, Johannes Wohnseifer, and Kevin Zucker. =0D=0A=
 In recent years there has been a renewed interest among younger artists to produce work that rescues some of the critical gestures of past generations. Conditions of Display sets out to showcase and explore the meaning of this refocusing on display strategies, presentational contexts, and the myriad ways in which artworks are framed and distributed. Stemming from the preoccupations of early conceptual artists that first turned toward a rigorous investigation of site, the concerns of these younger artists engage not only the immediate physical locale where the work is exhibited but the systems of distribution and display in which they function. Beyond this, the exhibition will explore how the critical gestures fare in our contemporary socio-cultural situation. =0D=0A=
 The work of five artists that first emerged in the late 1980s and early 1990s-Andrea Fraser, Christopher Williams, Michael Krebber, Eugenio Espinoza and Gaylen Geber-made theirs the tradition of institutional critique and context-specific production. Against these, the work of the younger artists in Conditions of Display will be presented. Relying on different media-from digital videos to banners to paintings-these younger artists have revived certain critical and self-reflexive gestures, renewing an interrogation of site and the systems that frame the art object while remaining keenly aware of the socio-cultural situation in which the function. =0D=0A=
 Along with pre-existing objects, a number of the artists will be producing projects specifically for this exhibition. Gaylen Gerber will participate with a new Backdrop painting made specifically for The Moore Space. Berlin-based artist Tobias Buche will build a new, large-scaled display unit. Shahin Afrassiabi has shot a new video that focuses on educational spaces. Miami-based artists Adler Guerrier and Eugenio Espinoza will both make new work. Guerrier’s will involve, among other things, a psycho-geography of the increasingly-gentrified neighborhood of Wynwood and Espinoza will be rehabilitating part of the installation that he produced for Locust Projects in 2005. Sean Paul and Michael S Riedel are both working on context-specific reactions to the sites in which this exhibition will take place. Gardar Einar Einarsson and Blake Rayne will also be participating with new work. =0D=0A=
 This exhibition runs through the end of June at both locations. The Moore Space is a non-profit art space in the Design District in Miami. Founded in 2001, its mission is to present international contemporary art forms. It will achieve this through an experimental program of cross-disciplinary exhibitions, performances, artists and curators residencies and public programs which reflect the state of contemporary art today: new forms, new voices and new thought. The Moore Space is located at 4040 NE 2nd Avenue, 2nd floor in the Design District. =0D=0A=
 Locust Projects is an alternative, not for profit, Miami based exhibition space dedicated to providing contemporary visual artists the freedom to experiment with new ideas and methods without the pressures of gallery sales or other limitations of conventional exhibition spaces. Artists are encouraged to create site-specific installations as an extension of their representative work; Locust Projects offers them a vibrant Miami experience to develop their ideas and methods. Locust Projects is committed to offering an approachable and inviting venue for the Miami and international art community to experience the work and meet the artist. Locust Projects is located at 105 NW 23rd Street in Wynwood. =0D=0A=
 Antikulture Gallery & Boutique Announces Grand Opening with LoCastro’s “PSYCHE” Exhibition. =0D=0A=
 Antikulture Gallery & Boutique opens its doors to the public with “PSYCHE” a special exhibition curated by local lowbrow pioneer Francesco LoCastro who was behind the Art Center/ South Florida’s "We'll Make a Lover of You" exhibition during Art Basel, Miami Beach. =0D=0A=
 =0D=0A=
 The “PSYCHE” exhibtition runs from April 14, 2007 to May 19, 2007. The opening reception is slated for Saturday, April 14, 2007 from 7:00 to 11:00 p.m. during the Wynwood Arts District Gallery Walk. The event is free and open to the public.=0D=0A=

 For the first time, pieces from LoCastro’s private art collection will be on view, as well as new, original paintings and drawings by the artist, available for purchase. LoCastro’s collection and work focuses on the avant-garde lowbrow/ pop surrealist movement, which has been the passion and advocacy of the artist and independent curator for the last ten years. Over 50 works by some of the movement’s biggest names will be on display and several of them will be released for sale.=0D=0A=
 =0D=0A=
 The “PSYCHE” exhibition marks LoCastro’s decade-long journey from local artist to a recognized figure of the worldwide art phenomenon. “South Florida’s undisputed King of Lowbrow” (Flavorpill.com) takes a break from his national exhibition schedule to give Miami an intimate glimpse at the work that inspired him and the movement that catapulted LoCastro to be “a permanent force to be reckoned with” (Juxtapoz Magazine).=0D=0A=
 =0D=0A=
 LoCastro adds: “Antikulture Magazine and Gallery are vital in bringing a new and exciting perspective on art to the forefront of Miami’s slowly flourishing cultural scene. It’s the reason why I chose to work with the Antikulture team on this very personal project of mine; and I am confident that their positive attitude and professionalism will be embraced by the local art community that is ready for a new approach and fresh point of view.”Chicano Visions=0D=0A=
 American Painters on the Verge=0D=0A=
 Now through May 1=0D=0A=
 Seventy-seven works by 26 Chicano artists, drawn mostly from the collection of Cheech Marin, who in less than two decades has built one of the largest collections of Chicano art in the world. "The Chicano School of Painting has always been about re-interpreting a culture," says Marin. "That culture has been shown to be diverse, yet unified, profane and spiritual, traditional and avant-garde. Where other 'schools' of painting have been defined overwhelmingly by stylistic concerns, the Chicano School combines stylistic innovation, blends traditional Mexican popular and religious iconography with modern images of urban angst, and reflects the continually evolving role of Mexican Americans or Chicanos within a larger 'American' society." =0D=0A=

 Hot off its extended, boffo Lincoln Center Theater run, The Clean House is smart, contemporary, alluring, funny, and as Charles Isherwood in The New York Times said, a play that is “romantic, deeply so … visionary, tinged with fantasy, extravagant in feeling, maybe a little nuts.” Written by “a provocative new theatrical voice,” here’s a story about a successful couple, their Portuguese maid who hates to clean, the wife’s sister who lives to clean, the affairs, jokes, and perfect punch line. You’ll fall down laughing and fall in love with Ruhl’s affaire de coeur. =0D=0A=

 NINE PARTS OF DESIRE (SOUTHEASTERN US PREMIERE)=0D=0A=
 by Heather Raffo=0D=0A=
 April 11 - May 5, 2006=0D=0A=
  =0D=0A=
 "POWERFUL!  IMPASSIONED!  VIVID!  MEMORABLE!"  New York Times=0D=0A=
 =0D=0A=
 "AN EXAMPLE OF HOW ART CAN REMAKE THE WORLD!  A TRIUMPH!  THRILLING!"  The New Yorker=0D=0A=
 =0D=0A=
 Tyranny and war both come with extreme costs, and we often forget who pays.  From the outside looking in, it's easy to view a nation's population as some formless group, joined by a shared religion or language.  =0D=0A=
  =0D=0A=
 Writer/Performer Heather Raffo spent 11 years conducting dozens of interviews on and over four continents with Iraqi women.  Her resulting "theatrical mosaic" depicts the realities of life in Iraq both under Saddam Hussein and since his ouster for several of these unique women, whose individuals worlds have been frayed and fractured, sometimes beyond repair, by their country's history.  =0D=0A=
  =0D=0A=
 Nine Parts of Desire was inspired by Raffo's trip to the Saddam Art Center in Baghdad in 1993 where she saw only billboard-size portraits of Saddam Hussein. However, in a back room she discovered a painting of a nude woman clinging to a barren tree with her head bowed. There was a light in front of her, like a sun. Raffo took a photo of the painting in hopes of finding the artist, only to discover she had been killed during an American-led bombing raid in Baghdad earlier that year.=0D=0A=

 Enter Dorian Gray, a smolderingly perfect 18 year-old beauty with a mysterious past. When a bad-boy artist named Basil spots Dorian on the scene, he is instantly smitten (who wouldn’t be?), launches a bold seduction, and makes his conquest the star of a video installation that takes the city by storm: the eponymous picture of Dorian Gray. But for Dorian, the video sparks an allconsuming vanity, a fear of growing old and ugly, and ultimately, a bargain with the devil.=0D=0A=

 In this sumptuous and groundbreaking romantic epic, forbidden love blossoms on a lush jungle island in modern China. It’s a place of haunting beauty and centuries-old customs, at once a liberating Eden and a repressive backwater. With tender lyricism, director Dai Sijie captures the emotion of this taboo love affair with precious few words and a treasure-trove of intoxicating images: an illicit sexual rendezvous on a mossy jungle bridge; a nude encounter in a steam-bath of hallucinatory herbs.=0D=0A=

 Boca Raton Museum of Art's Next Exhibition: Jeanne Hillary: Eden. A New Media Project February 28 through June 3, 2007 =0D=0A=
 The Boca Raton Museum of Art is pleased to announce the February 28th opening of Jeanne Hilary: Eden. A New Media Project, which will be on display through June 3, 2007. =0D=0A=
 JEANNE HILARY: EDEN. A NEW MEDIA PROJECT =0D=0A=
 Documentary photography presents the possibility of understanding. Paris-based American photographer Jeanne Hilary's Eden communicates a visionary “portrait of America” through photographic landscapes and portraits of everyday small towns across the country. =0D=0A=
 This exhibition of enigmatic large-format photographs and video is one component of an ambitious project which includes site-specific installations of the images on commercial outdoor billboards, electronic digital billboards and an interactive Eden website which incorporates imagery, text, poetry and recorded indigenous folk/roots music. The outdoor installations and the videotaped actions/reactions of the public to these images are connected to each other and viewers via the interactive website and exhibition. =0D=0A=
 Eden images are intended to draw attention to ideas of authenticity and changing concepts of time. Hilary states: “The philosophical foundation of the project is to evoke the histories of small-town America, and, via the website and digital billboards, bring these histories to urban dwellers both in and outside the USA. It is hoped that Eden will encourage viewers to think about their place in time, and see their environment as an historical place, of which the present moment is but one part of an endless accumulation of memory… Eden, is a view from the road of our good intentions.” =0D=0A=
 This project and exhibition has been supported by an Artist-in-Residency grant from the Palm Beach County Cultural Council. =0D=0A=
 The Boca Raton Museum of Art is open Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.; Wednesday 10 a.m. - 9 p.m.; and Saturday and Sunday noon - 5 p.m. Admission for this Special Exhibition is $17 for adults, $15 for senior citizens (65 and older), $12 per person for group tours and $6 for students. =0D=0A=

 For the first time, pieces from LoCastro’s private art collection will be on view, as well as new, original paintings and drawings by the artist, available for purchase. LoCastro’s collection and work focuses on the avant-garde lowbrow/ pop surrealist movement, which has been the passion and advocacy of the artist and independent curator for the last ten years. Over 50 works by some of the movement’s biggest names will be on display and several of them will be released for sale.=0D=0A=

 The “PSYCHE” exhibition marks LoCastro’s decade-long journey from local artist to a recognized figure of the worldwide art phenomenon. “South Florida’s undisputed King of Lowbrow” (Flavorpill.com) takes a break from his national exhibition schedule to give Miami an intimate glimpse at the work that inspired him and the movement that catapulted LoCastro to be “a permanent force to be reckoned with” (Juxtapoz Magazine).=0D=0A=

 LoCastro adds: “Antikulture Magazine and Gallery are vital in bringing a new and exciting perspective on art to the forefront of Miami’s slowly flourishing cultural scene. It’s the reason why I chose to work with the Antikulture team on this very personal project of mine; and I am confident that their positive attitude and professionalism will be embraced by the local art community that is ready for a new approach and fresh point of view.”Chicano Visions=0D=0A=

 Seventy-seven works by 26 Chicano artists, drawn mostly from the collection of Cheech Marin, who in less than two decades has built one of the largest collections of Chicano art in the world. "The Chicano School of Painting has always been about re-interpreting a culture," says Marin. "That culture has been shown to be diverse, yet unified, profane and spiritual, traditional and avant-garde. Where other 'schools' of painting have been defined overwhelmingly by stylistic concerns, the Chicano School combines stylistic innovation, blends traditional Mexican popular and religious iconography with modern images of urban angst, and reflects the continually evolving role of Mexican Americans or Chicanos within a larger 'American' society." =0D=0A=

 The Clean House will replace Cowgirls, which is postponed due to illness in the families of several of its key cast members.

 Hot off its extended, boffo Lincoln Center Theater run, The Clean House is smart, contemporary, alluring, funny, and as Charles Isherwood in The New York Times said, a play that is “romantic, deeply so … visionary, tinged with fantasy, extravagant in feeling, maybe a little nuts.” Written by “a provocative new theatrical voice,” here’s a story about a successful couple, their Portuguese maid who hates to clean, the wife’s sister who lives to clean, the affairs, jokes, and perfect punch line. You’ll fall down laughing and fall in love with Ruhl’s affaire de coeur. =0D=0A=

 NINE PARTS OF DESIRE (SOUTHEASTERN US PREMIERE)=0D=0A=

 "POWERFUL!  IMPASSIONED!  VIVID!  MEMORABLE!"  New York Times=0D=0A=

 =0D=0A=
 Tyranny and war both come with extreme costs, and we often forget who pays.  From the outside looking in, it's easy to view a nation's population as some formless group, joined by a shared religion or language.  =0D=0A=
  =0D=0A=
 Writer/Performer Heather Raffo spent 11 years conducting dozens of interviews on and over four continents with Iraqi women.  Her resulting "theatrical mosaic" depicts the realities of life in Iraq both under Saddam Hussein and since his ouster for several of these unique women, whose individuals worlds have been frayed and fractured, sometimes beyond repair, by their country's history.  =0D=0A=
  =0D=0A=
 Nine Parts of Desire was inspired by Raffo's trip to the Saddam Art Center in Baghdad in 1993 where she saw only billboard-size portraits of Saddam Hussein. However, in a back room she discovered a painting of a nude woman clinging to a barren tree with her head bowed. There was a light in front of her, like a sun. Raffo took a photo of the painting in hopes of finding the artist, only to discover she had been killed during an American-led bombing raid in Baghdad earlier that year.=0D=0A=

 Enter Dorian Gray, a smolderingly perfect 18 year-old beauty with a mysterious past. When a bad-boy artist named Basil spots Dorian on the scene, he is instantly smitten (who wouldn’t be?), launches a bold seduction, and makes his conquest the star of a video installation that takes the city by storm: the eponymous picture of Dorian Gray. But for Dorian, the video sparks an allconsuming vanity, a fear of growing old and ugly, and ultimately, a bargain with the devil.=0D=0A=

 In this sumptuous and groundbreaking romantic epic, forbidden love blossoms on a lush jungle island in modern China. It’s a place of haunting beauty and centuries-old customs, at once a liberating Eden and a repressive backwater. With tender lyricism, director Dai Sijie captures the emotion of this taboo love affair with precious few words and a treasure-trove of intoxicating images: an illicit sexual rendezvous on a mossy jungle bridge; a nude encounter in a steam-bath of hallucinatory herbs.=0D=0A=

 Boca Raton Museum of Art's Next Exhibition: Jeanne Hillary: Eden. A New Media Project February 28 through June 3, 2007 =0D=0A=
 The Boca Raton Museum of Art is pleased to announce the February 28th opening of Jeanne Hilary: Eden. A New Media Project, which will be on display through June 3, 2007. =0D=0A=
 JEANNE HILARY: EDEN. A NEW MEDIA PROJECT =0D=0A=
 Documentary photography presents the possibility of understanding. Paris-based American photographer Jeanne Hilary's Eden communicates a visionary “portrait of America” through photographic landscapes and portraits of everyday small towns across the country. =0D=0A=
 This exhibition of enigmatic large-format photographs and video is one component of an ambitious project which includes site-specific installations of the images on commercial outdoor billboards, electronic digital billboards and an interactive Eden website which incorporates imagery, text, poetry and recorded indigenous folk/roots music. The outdoor installations and the videotaped actions/reactions of the public to these images are connected to each other and viewers via the interactive website and exhibition. =0D=0A=
 Eden images are intended to draw attention to ideas of authenticity and changing concepts of time. Hilary states: “The philosophical foundation of the project is to evoke the histories of small-town America, and, via the website and digital billboards, bring these histories to urban dwellers both in and outside the USA. It is hoped that Eden will encourage viewers to think about their place in time, and see their environment as an historical place, of which the present moment is but one part of an endless accumulation of memory… Eden, is a view from the road of our good intentions.” =0D=0A=
 This project and exhibition has been supported by an Artist-in-Residency grant from the Palm Beach County Cultural Council. =0D=0A=
 The Boca Raton Museum of Art is open Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.; Wednesday 10 a.m. - 9 p.m.; and Saturday and Sunday noon - 5 p.m. Admission for this Special Exhibition is $17 for adults, $15 for senior citizens (65 and older), $12 per person for group tours and $6 for students. =0D=0A=

 CAPTURE, BURN & BLOW UP features photography, photo-based work and video. In keeping with the mission of the Society of Photographic Educators that “seeks to promote a broader understanding of the medium in all its forms, and to foster the development of its practice, teaching, scholarship and criticism,…” some of the artists in this exhibit are teachers while others educate through the story implicit in their images. The group show presents the work of artists Priscilla Ferguson, Gerardo Marulanda, Rolando Dal Pezzo, Alette Simmons-Jimenez, Maria Caridad Perez, Vanessa Monokian, Lourdes Peñaranda, and Hugo Moro. Whether the artist first gazed through the lens to discover his inspiration, or, once inspired, the lens became the tool through which a concept was developed, the assembled collection presents a kaleidoscopic view of richly complex and varied work. In their first collaborative project, The Moore Space and Locust Projects are pleased to present the two-venue exhibition Conditions of Display, curated by Gean Moreno. This exhibition will open to the public at both locations on SATURDAY, APRIL 14, 2007 FROM 7-10PM and will include the following 23 artists: Shahin Afrassiabi, Tobias Buche, Gardar Einar Einarsson, Eugenio Espinoza, Andrea Fraser, Gaylen Gerber, Adler Guerrier, Swetlana Heger, Gareth James, Sergej Jensen, Michael Krebber, Michaela Meise, Paulina Olowska, Elena Pankova, Sean Paul, Kristen Pieroth, Seth Price, Blake Rayne, Michael S. Riedel, Josh Smith, Christopher Williams, Johannes Wohnseifer, and Kevin Zucker. =0D=0A=
 In recent years there has been a renewed interest among younger artists to produce work that rescues some of the critical gestures of past generations. Conditions of Display sets out to showcase and explore the meaning of this refocusing on display strategies, presentational contexts, and the myriad ways in which artworks are framed and distributed. Stemming from the preoccupations of early conceptual artists that first turned toward a rigorous investigation of site, the concerns of these younger artists engage not only the immediate physical locale where the work is exhibited but the systems of distribution and display in which they function. Beyond this, the exhibition will explore how the critical gestures fare in our contemporary socio-cultural situation. =0D=0A=
 The work of five artists that first emerged in the late 1980s and early 1990s-Andrea Fraser, Christopher Williams, Michael Krebber, Eugenio Espinoza and Gaylen Geber-made theirs the tradition of institutional critique and context-specific production. Against these, the work of the younger artists in Conditions of Display will be presented. Relying on different media-from digital videos to banners to paintings-these younger artists have revived certain critical and self-reflexive gestures, renewing an interrogation of site and the systems that frame the art object while remaining keenly aware of the socio-cultural situation in which the function. =0D=0A=
 Along with pre-existing objects, a number of the artists will be producing projects specifically for this exhibition. Gaylen Gerber will participate with a new Backdrop painting made specifically for The Moore Space. Berlin-based artist Tobias Buche will build a new, large-scaled display unit. Shahin Afrassiabi has shot a new video that focuses on educational spaces. Miami-based artists Adler Guerrier and Eugenio Espinoza will both make new work. Guerrier’s will involve, among other things, a psycho-geography of the increasingly-gentrified neighborhood of Wynwood and Espinoza will be rehabilitating part of the installation that he produced for Locust Projects in 2005. Sean Paul and Michael S Riedel are both working on context-specific reactions to the sites in which this exhibition will take place. Gardar Einar Einarsson and Blake Rayne will also be participating with new work. =0D=0A=
 This exhibition runs through the end of June at both locations. The Moore Space is a non-profit art space in the Design District in Miami. Founded in 2001, its mission is to present international contemporary art forms. It will achieve this through an experimental program of cross-disciplinary exhibitions, performances, artists and curators residencies and public programs which reflect the state of contemporary art today: new forms, new voices and new thought. The Moore Space is located at 4040 NE 2nd Avenue, 2nd floor in the Design District. =0D=0A=

 Comedy By Sarah Ruhl=0D=0A=
 Hot off its extended, boffo Lincoln Center Theater run, The Clean House is smart, contemporary, alluring, funny, and as Charles Isherwood in The New York Times said, a play that is “romantic, deeply so … visionary, tinged with fantasy, extravagant in feeling, maybe a little nuts.” Written by “a provocative new theatrical voice,” here’s a story about a successful couple, their Portuguese maid who hates to clean, the wife’s sister who lives to clean, the affairs, jokes, and perfect punch line. You’ll fall down laughing and fall in love with Ruhl’s affaire de coeur. =0D=0A=

 BIOGRAPHY=0D=0A=
 Gérard Vachez was born in France in 1961.=0D=0A=
 His strong desire to study arts led him to a degree in Fine Arts & Graphic Design at Sorbonne in 1984. Shortly after graduation Gérard was hired by the French government to organize Bujumbura’s Cultural Center in Burundi (Central Africa). Africa greatly inspired the young artist who started to take photographs.=0D=0A=
 Gathering his most beautiful black & white pieces he held his first exhibition in Burundi, Rwanda and Zaïre. In 1986 Gérard returned to France, to settle in Paris.=0D=0A=
 After working as an art director for various advertising agencies, he opened his own art studio, the well-renowned “Vue du Pont”. The studio was successful and its clientele increasingly prestigious. It was time for Gérard to hold his first Parisian photography exhibition. The show, held at the Bip gallery, was a hit. He had two more shows in Paris before leaving France.=0D=0A=
 In 1995, Gérard opened another branch of “Vue du Pont” in the West Indies. His reputation quickly spread throughout the Caribbean and the American market and soon he would meet a person who eventually changed his career.=0D=0A=
 In 1998, Michael Capponi, Miami’s famous nightlife promoter, was introduced to Gérard while visiting Guadeloupe. Michael was enthralled by Gérard’s creativity and a deep friendship rapidly formed. He was the catalyst of Gérard’s move to the USA.=0D=0A=
 Through him, Gérard met the prestigious nightlife entrepreneur Chris Paciello and became art director and head of advertising for CP Ventures.=0D=0A=
 A year later Gérard started his own company, Xposure Advertising, an international enterprise with a client list including companies based in the USA, Europe and the Caribbean.=0D=0A=
 Art being Gerard’s main interest, he never ceased holding exhibitions along his career.=0D=0A=
 BODIES reflects the creativity of blending painting and photography.=0D=0A=
 I have always been inspired by bodies in motion and wanted movement to transpire in my pictures. With this intent I used a large tampered glass panel on which I mixed paints and lights while a model moved behind it. The light coming through the colors created a new atmosphere while the model’s moving body was constantly altered by the colored wall of glass. It also took her in and out of focus, accentuating the painting effect.=0D=0A=
 The results were almost unsettling. Where did the photo end and the painting begin?=0D=0A=
 PAINTINGS=0D=0A=
 These paintings were designed to be screened during a special event organized by the University of Sorbonne in Paris. Instead of photographing painted canvases, I chose to create the whole thing on a slide in order to be more of an innovator and cast a more interesting approach to the project.=0D=0A=
 So, I used clear Rodoid Plastic and then mixed a lot of different materials and medias on it.=0D=0A=
 After my first tests with some Ecolines, I began to tamper with the media: scratching it, cutting and gluing it back together to create several layers. For this purpose, I used different types of glue, each reacting differently to the heat of the slide projector. For example, when left long enough inside the machine, some slides would begin to crack slowly, resembling old varnished painting.=0D=0A=
 As for the colors, aside the Ecolines, I also used oil-based paint, Indian ink, acrylics... All mixed with cotton or fabric pieces, raw fibers, I even set some creations on fire to alter them.=0D=0A=
 Most of these slides were painted inside their little frames, others were painted on a larger support, then cut later on.

 NINE PARTS OF DESIRE (SOUTHEASTERN US PREMIERE)=0D=0A=
 by Heather Raffo=0D=0A=
 April 11 - May 5, 2006=0D=0A=

 "POWERFUL!  IMPASSIONED!  VIVID!  MEMORABLE!"  New York Times=0D=0A=

 "AN EXAMPLE OF HOW ART CAN REMAKE THE WORLD!  A TRIUMPH!  THRILLING!"  The New Yorker=0D=0A=
 =0D=0A=
 Tyranny and war both come with extreme costs, and we often forget who pays.  From the outside looking in, it's easy to view a nation's population as some formless group, joined by a shared religion or language.  =0D=0A=
  =0D=0A=
 Writer/Performer Heather Raffo spent 11 years conducting dozens of interviews on and over four continents with Iraqi women.  Her resulting "theatrical mosaic" depicts the realities of life in Iraq both under Saddam Hussein and since his ouster for several of these unique women, whose individuals worlds have been frayed and fractured, sometimes beyond repair, by their country's history.  =0D=0A=
  =0D=0A=
 Nine Parts of Desire was inspired by Raffo's trip to the Saddam Art Center in Baghdad in 1993 where she saw only billboard-size portraits of Saddam Hussein. However, in a back room she discovered a painting of a nude woman clinging to a barren tree with her head bowed. There was a light in front of her, like a sun. Raffo took a photo of the painting in hopes of finding the artist, only to discover she had been killed during an American-led bombing raid in Baghdad earlier that year.=0D=0A=

 Enter Dorian Gray, a smolderingly perfect 18 year-old beauty with a mysterious past. When a bad-boy artist named Basil spots Dorian on the scene, he is instantly smitten (who wouldn’t be?), launches a bold seduction, and makes his conquest the star of a video installation that takes the city by storm: the eponymous picture of Dorian Gray. But for Dorian, the video sparks an allconsuming vanity, a fear of growing old and ugly, and ultimately, a bargain with the devil.=0D=0A=

 In this sumptuous and groundbreaking romantic epic, forbidden love blossoms on a lush jungle island in modern China. It’s a place of haunting beauty and centuries-old customs, at once a liberating Eden and a repressive backwater. With tender lyricism, director Dai Sijie captures the emotion of this taboo love affair with precious few words and a treasure-trove of intoxicating images: an illicit sexual rendezvous on a mossy jungle bridge; a nude encounter in a steam-bath of hallucinatory herbs.=0D=0A=

 Boca Raton Museum of Art's Next Exhibition: Jeanne Hillary: Eden. A New Media Project February 28 through June 3, 2007 =0D=0A=
 The Boca Raton Museum of Art is pleased to announce the February 28th opening of Jeanne Hilary: Eden. A New Media Project, which will be on display through June 3, 2007. =0D=0A=
 JEANNE HILARY: EDEN. A NEW MEDIA PROJECT =0D=0A=
 Documentary photography presents the possibility of understanding. Paris-based American photographer Jeanne Hilary's Eden communicates a visionary “portrait of America” through photographic landscapes and portraits of everyday small towns across the country. =0D=0A=
 This exhibition of enigmatic large-format photographs and video is one component of an ambitious project which includes site-specific installations of the images on commercial outdoor billboards, electronic digital billboards and an interactive Eden website which incorporates imagery, text, poetry and recorded indigenous folk/roots music. The outdoor installations and the videotaped actions/reactions of the public to these images are connected to each other and viewers via the interactive website and exhibition. =0D=0A=
 Eden images are intended to draw attention to ideas of authenticity and changing concepts of time. Hilary states: “The philosophical foundation of the project is to evoke the histories of small-town America, and, via the website and digital billboards, bring these histories to urban dwellers both in and outside the USA. It is hoped that Eden will encourage viewers to think about their place in time, and see their environment as an historical place, of which the present moment is but one part of an endless accumulation of memory… Eden, is a view from the road of our good intentions.” =0D=0A=
 This project and exhibition has been supported by an Artist-in-Residency grant from the Palm Beach County Cultural Council. =0D=0A=
 The Boca Raton Museum of Art is open Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.; Wednesday 10 a.m. - 9 p.m.; and Saturday and Sunday noon - 5 p.m. Admission for this Special Exhibition is $17 for adults, $15 for senior citizens (65 and older), $12 per person for group tours and $6 for students. =0D=0A=

 CAPTURE, BURN & BLOW UP features photography, photo-based work and video. In keeping with the mission of the Society of Photographic Educators that “seeks to promote a broader understanding of the medium in all its forms, and to foster the development of its practice, teaching, scholarship and criticism,…” some of the artists in this exhibit are teachers while others educate through the story implicit in their images. The group show presents the work of artists Priscilla Ferguson, Gerardo Marulanda, Rolando Dal Pezzo, Alette Simmons-Jimenez, Maria Caridad Perez, Vanessa Monokian, Lourdes Peñaranda, and Hugo Moro. Whether the artist first gazed through the lens to discover his inspiration, or, once inspired, the lens became the tool through which a concept was developed, the assembled collection presents a kaleidoscopic view of richly complex and varied work. In their first collaborative project, The Moore Space and Locust Projects are pleased to present the two-venue exhibition Conditions of Display, curated by Gean Moreno. This exhibition will open to the public at both locations on SATURDAY, APRIL 14, 2007 FROM 7-10PM and will include the following 23 artists: Shahin Afrassiabi, Tobias Buche, Gardar Einar Einarsson, Eugenio Espinoza, Andrea Fraser, Gaylen Gerber, Adler Guerrier, Swetlana Heger, Gareth James, Sergej Jensen, Michael Krebber, Michaela Meise, Paulina Olowska, Elena Pankova, Sean Paul, Kristen Pieroth, Seth Price, Blake Rayne, Michael S. Riedel, Josh Smith, Christopher Williams, Johannes Wohnseifer, and Kevin Zucker. =0D=0A=
 In recent years there has been a renewed interest among younger artists to produce work that rescues some of the critical gestures of past generations. Conditions of Display sets out to showcase and explore the meaning of this refocusing on display strategies, presentational contexts, and the myriad ways in which artworks are framed and distributed. Stemming from the preoccupations of early conceptual artists that first turned toward a rigorous investigation of site, the concerns of these younger artists engage not only the immediate physical locale where the work is exhibited but the systems of distribution and display in which they function. Beyond this, the exhibition will explore how the critical gestures fare in our contemporary socio-cultural situation. =0D=0A=
 The work of five artists that first emerged in the late 1980s and early 1990s-Andrea Fraser, Christopher Williams, Michael Krebber, Eugenio Espinoza and Gaylen Geber-made theirs the tradition of institutional critique and context-specific production. Against these, the work of the younger artists in Conditions of Display will be presented. Relying on different media-from digital videos to banners to paintings-these younger artists have revived certain critical and self-reflexive gestures, renewing an interrogation of site and the systems that frame the art object while remaining keenly aware of the socio-cultural situation in which the function. =0D=0A=
 Along with pre-existing objects, a number of the artists will be producing projects specifically for this exhibition. Gaylen Gerber will participate with a new Backdrop painting made specifically for The Moore Space. Berlin-based artist Tobias Buche will build a new, large-scaled display unit. Shahin Afrassiabi has shot a new video that focuses on educational spaces. Miami-based artists Adler Guerrier and Eugenio Espinoza will both make new work. Guerrier’s will involve, among other things, a psycho-geography of the increasingly-gentrified neighborhood of Wynwood and Espinoza will be rehabilitating part of the installation that he produced for Locust Projects in 2005. Sean Paul and Michael S Riedel are both working on context-specific reactions to the sites in which this exhibition will take place. Gardar Einar Einarsson and Blake Rayne will also be participating with new work. =0D=0A=
 This exhibition runs through the end of June at both locations. The Moore Space is a non-profit art space in the Design District in Miami. Founded in 2001, its mission is to present international contemporary art forms. It will achieve this through an experimental program of cross-disciplinary exhibitions, performances, artists and curators residencies and public programs which reflect the state of contemporary art today: new forms, new voices and new thought. The Moore Space is located at 4040 NE 2nd Avenue, 2nd floor in the Design District. =0D=0A=
 Locust Projects is an alternative, not for profit, Miami based exhibition space dedicated to providing contemporary visual artists the freedom to experiment with new ideas and methods without the pressures of gallery sales or other limitations of conventional exhibition spaces. Artists are encouraged to create site-specific installations as an extension of their representative work; Locust Projects offers them a vibrant Miami experience to develop their ideas and methods. Locust Projects is committed to offering an approachable and inviting venue for the Miami and international art community to experience the work and meet the artist. Locust Projects is located at 105 NW 23rd Street in Wynwood. =0D=0A=
 Antikulture Gallery & Boutique Announces Grand Opening with LoCastro’s “PSYCHE” Exhibition. =0D=0A=
 Antikulture Gallery & Boutique opens its doors to the public with “PSYCHE” a special exhibition curated by local lowbrow pioneer Francesco LoCastro who was behind the Art Center/ South Florida’s "We'll Make a Lover of You" exhibition during Art Basel, Miami Beach. =0D=0A=
 =0D=0A=
 The “PSYCHE” exhibtition runs from April 14, 2007 to May 19, 2007. The opening reception is slated for Saturday, April 14, 2007 from 7:00 to 11:00 p.m. during the Wynwood Arts District Gallery Walk. The event is free and open to the public.=0D=0A=

 For the first time, pieces from LoCastro’s private art collection will be on view, as well as new, original paintings and drawings by the artist, available for purchase. LoCastro’s collection and work focuses on the avant-garde lowbrow/ pop surrealist movement, which has been the passion and advocacy of the artist and independent curator for the last ten years. Over 50 works by some of the movement’s biggest names will be on display and several of them will be released for sale.=0D=0A=
 =0D=0A=
 The “PSYCHE” exhibition marks LoCastro’s decade-long journey from local artist to a recognized figure of the worldwide art phenomenon. “South Florida’s undisputed King of Lowbrow” (Flavorpill.com) takes a break from his national exhibition schedule to give Miami an intimate glimpse at the work that inspired him and the movement that catapulted LoCastro to be “a permanent force to be reckoned with” (Juxtapoz Magazine).=0D=0A=
 =0D=0A=
 LoCastro adds: “Antikulture Magazine and Gallery are vital in bringing a new and exciting perspective on art to the forefront of Miami’s slowly flourishing cultural scene. It’s the reason why I chose to work with the Antikulture team on this very personal project of mine; and I am confident that their positive attitude and professionalism will be embraced by the local art community that is ready for a new approach and fresh point of view.”Chicano Visions=0D=0A=
 American Painters on the Verge=0D=0A=
 Now through May 1=0D=0A=
 Seventy-seven works by 26 Chicano artists, drawn mostly from the collection of Cheech Marin, who in less than two decades has built one of the largest collections of Chicano art in the world. "The Chicano School of Painting has always been about re-interpreting a culture," says Marin. "That culture has been shown to be diverse, yet unified, profane and spiritual, traditional and avant-garde. Where other 'schools' of painting have been defined overwhelmingly by stylistic concerns, the Chicano School combines stylistic innovation, blends traditional Mexican popular and religious iconography with modern images of urban angst, and reflects the continually evolving role of Mexican Americans or Chicanos within a larger 'American' society." =0D=0A=

 BIOGRAPHY=0D=0A=
 Gérard Vachez was born in France in 1961.=0D=0A=
 His strong desire to study arts led him to a degree in Fine Arts & Graphic Design at Sorbonne in 1984. Shortly after graduation Gérard was hired by the French government to organize Bujumbura’s Cultural Center in Burundi (Central Africa). Africa greatly inspired the young artist who started to take photographs.=0D=0A=
 Gathering his most beautiful black & white pieces he held his first exhibition in Burundi, Rwanda and Zaïre. In 1986 Gérard returned to France, to settle in Paris.=0D=0A=
 After working as an art director for various advertising agencies, he opened his own art studio, the well-renowned “Vue du Pont”. The studio was successful and its clientele increasingly prestigious. It was time for Gérard to hold his first Parisian photography exhibition. The show, held at the Bip gallery, was a hit. He had two more shows in Paris before leaving France.=0D=0A=
 In 1995, Gérard opened another branch of “Vue du Pont” in the West Indies. His reputation quickly spread throughout the Caribbean and the American market and soon he would meet a person who eventually changed his career.=0D=0A=
 In 1998, Michael Capponi, Miami’s famous nightlife promoter, was introduced to Gérard while visiting Guadeloupe. Michael was enthralled by Gérard’s creativity and a deep friendship rapidly formed. He was the catalyst of Gérard’s move to the USA.=0D=0A=
 Through him, Gérard met the prestigious nightlife entrepreneur Chris Paciello and became art director and head of advertising for CP Ventures.=0D=0A=
 A year later Gérard started his own company, Xposure Advertising, an international enterprise with a client list including companies based in the USA, Europe and the Caribbean.=0D=0A=
 Art being Gerard’s main interest, he never ceased holding exhibitions along his career.=0D=0A=
 BODIES reflects the creativity of blending painting and photography.=0D=0A=
 I have always been inspired by bodies in motion and wanted movement to transpire in my pictures. With this intent I used a large tampered glass panel on which I mixed paints and lights while a model moved behind it. The light coming through the colors created a new atmosphere while the model’s moving body was constantly altered by the colored wall of glass. It also took her in and out of focus, accentuating the painting effect.=0D=0A=
 The results were almost unsettling. Where did the photo end and the painting begin?=0D=0A=
 PAINTINGS=0D=0A=
 These paintings were designed to be screened during a special event organized by the University of Sorbonne in Paris. Instead of photographing painted canvases, I chose to create the whole thing on a slide in order to be more of an innovator and cast a more interesting approach to the project.=0D=0A=
 So, I used clear Rodoid Plastic and then mixed a lot of different materials and medias on it.=0D=0A=
 After my first tests with some Ecolines, I began to tamper with the media: scratching it, cutting and gluing it back together to create several layers. For this purpose, I used different types of glue, each reacting differently to the heat of the slide projector. For example, when left long enough inside the machine, some slides would begin to crack slowly, resembling old varnished painting.=0D=0A=
 As for the colors, aside the Ecolines, I also used oil-based paint, Indian ink, acrylics... All mixed with cotton or fabric pieces, raw fibers, I even set some creations on fire to alter them.=0D=0A=
 Most of these slides were painted inside their little frames, others were painted on a larger support, then cut later on.=0D=0A=

 NINE PARTS OF DESIRE (SOUTHEASTERN US PREMIERE)=0D=0A=

 Tyranny and war both come with extreme costs, and we often forget who pays.  From the outside looking in, it's easy to view a nation's population as some formless group, joined by a shared religion or language.  =0D=0A=
  =0D=0A=
 Writer/Performer Heather Raffo spent 11 years conducting dozens of interviews on and over four continents with Iraqi women.  Her resulting "theatrical mosaic" depicts the realities of life in Iraq both under Saddam Hussein and since his ouster for several of these unique women, whose individuals worlds have been frayed and fractured, sometimes beyond repair, by their country's history.  =0D=0A=
  =0D=0A=
 Nine Parts of Desire was inspired by Raffo's trip to the Saddam Art Center in Baghdad in 1993 where she saw only billboard-size portraits of Saddam Hussein. However, in a back room she discovered a painting of a nude woman clinging to a barren tree with her head bowed. There was a light in front of her, like a sun. Raffo took a photo of the painting in hopes of finding the artist, only to discover she had been killed during an American-led bombing raid in Baghdad earlier that year.=0D=0A=

 Enter Dorian Gray, a smolderingly perfect 18 year-old beauty with a mysterious past. When a bad-boy artist named Basil spots Dorian on the scene, he is instantly smitten (who wouldn’t be?), launches a bold seduction, and makes his conquest the star of a video installation that takes the city by storm: the eponymous picture of Dorian Gray. But for Dorian, the video sparks an allconsuming vanity, a fear of growing old and ugly, and ultimately, a bargain with the devil.=0D=0A=

 In this sumptuous and groundbreaking romantic epic, forbidden love blossoms on a lush jungle island in modern China. It’s a place of haunting beauty and centuries-old customs, at once a liberating Eden and a repressive backwater. With tender lyricism, director Dai Sijie captures the emotion of this taboo love affair with precious few words and a treasure-trove of intoxicating images: an illicit sexual rendezvous on a mossy jungle bridge; a nude encounter in a steam-bath of hallucinatory herbs.=0D=0A=

 Boca Raton Museum of Art's Next Exhibition: Jeanne Hillary: Eden. A New Media Project February 28 through June 3, 2007 =0D=0A=
 The Boca Raton Museum of Art is pleased to announce the February 28th opening of Jeanne Hilary: Eden. A New Media Project, which will be on display through June 3, 2007. =0D=0A=
 JEANNE HILARY: EDEN. A NEW MEDIA PROJECT =0D=0A=
 Documentary photography presents the possibility of understanding. Paris-based American photographer Jeanne Hilary's Eden communicates a visionary “portrait of America” through photographic landscapes and portraits of everyday small towns across the country. =0D=0A=
 This exhibition of enigmatic large-format photographs and video is one component of an ambitious project which includes site-specific installations of the images on commercial outdoor billboards, electronic digital billboards and an interactive Eden website which incorporates imagery, text, poetry and recorded indigenous folk/roots music. The outdoor installations and the videotaped actions/reactions of the public to these images are connected to each other and viewers via the interactive website and exhibition. =0D=0A=
 Eden images are intended to draw attention to ideas of authenticity and changing concepts of time. Hilary states: “The philosophical foundation of the project is to evoke the histories of small-town America, and, via the website and digital billboards, bring these histories to urban dwellers both in and outside the USA. It is hoped that Eden will encourage viewers to think about their place in time, and see their environment as an historical place, of which the present moment is but one part of an endless accumulation of memory… Eden, is a view from the road of our good intentions.” =0D=0A=
 This project and exhibition has been supported by an Artist-in-Residency grant from the Palm Beach County Cultural Council. =0D=0A=
 The Boca Raton Museum of Art is open Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.; Wednesday 10 a.m. - 9 p.m.; and Saturday and Sunday noon - 5 p.m. Admission for this Special Exhibition is $17 for adults, $15 for senior citizens (65 and older), $12 per person for group tours and $6 for students. =0D=0A=

 CAPTURE, BURN & BLOW UP features photography, photo-based work and video. In keeping with the mission of the Society of Photographic Educators that “seeks to promote a broader understanding of the medium in all its forms, and to foster the development of its practice, teaching, scholarship and criticism,…” some of the artists in this exhibit are teachers while others educate through the story implicit in their images. The group show presents the work of artists Priscilla Ferguson, Gerardo Marulanda, Rolando Dal Pezzo, Alette Simmons-Jimenez, Maria Caridad Perez, Vanessa Monokian, Lourdes Peñaranda, and Hugo Moro. Whether the artist first gazed through the lens to discover his inspiration, or, once inspired, the lens became the tool through which a concept was developed, the assembled collection presents a kaleidoscopic view of richly complex and varied work. In their first collaborative project, The Moore Space and Locust Projects are pleased to present the two-venue exhibition Conditions of Display, curated by Gean Moreno. This exhibition will open to the public at both locations on SATURDAY, APRIL 14, 2007 FROM 7-10PM and will include the following 23 artists: Shahin Afrassiabi, Tobias Buche, Gardar Einar Einarsson, Eugenio Espinoza, Andrea Fraser, Gaylen Gerber, Adler Guerrier, Swetlana Heger, Gareth James, Sergej Jensen, Michael Krebber, Michaela Meise, Paulina Olowska, Elena Pankova, Sean Paul, Kristen Pieroth, Seth Price, Blake Rayne, Michael S. Riedel, Josh Smith, Christopher Williams, Johannes Wohnseifer, and Kevin Zucker. =0D=0A=
 In recent years there has been a renewed interest among younger artists to produce work that rescues some of the critical gestures of past generations. Conditions of Display sets out to showcase and explore the meaning of this refocusing on display strategies, presentational contexts, and the myriad ways in which artworks are framed and distributed. Stemming from the preoccupations of early conceptual artists that first turned toward a rigorous investigation of site, the concerns of these younger artists engage not only the immediate physical locale where the work is exhibited but the systems of distribution and display in which they function. Beyond this, the exhibition will explore how the critical gestures fare in our contemporary socio-cultural situation. =0D=0A=
 The work of five artists that first emerged in the late 1980s and early 1990s-Andrea Fraser, Christopher Williams, Michael Krebber, Eugenio Espinoza and Gaylen Geber-made theirs the tradition of institutional critique and context-specific production. Against these, the work of the younger artists in Conditions of Display will be presented. Relying on different media-from digital videos to banners to paintings-these younger artists have revived certain critical and self-reflexive gestures, renewing an interrogation of site and the systems that frame the art object while remaining keenly aware of the socio-cultural situation in which the function. =0D=0A=
 Along with pre-existing objects, a number of the artists will be producing projects specifically for this exhibition. Gaylen Gerber will participate with a new Backdrop painting made specifically for The Moore Space. Berlin-based artist Tobias Buche will build a new, large-scaled display unit. Shahin Afrassiabi has shot a new video that focuses on educational spaces. Miami-based artists Adler Guerrier and Eugenio Espinoza will both make new work. Guerrier’s will involve, among other things, a psycho-geography of the increasingly-gentrified neighborhood of Wynwood and Espinoza will be rehabilitating part of the installation that he produced for Locust Projects in 2005. Sean Paul and Michael S Riedel are both working on context-specific reactions to the sites in which this exhibition will take place. Gardar Einar Einarsson and Blake Rayne will also be participating with new work. =0D=0A=
 This exhibition runs through the end of June at both locations. The Moore Space is a non-profit art space in the Design District in Miami. Founded in 2001, its mission is to present international contemporary art forms. It will achieve this through an experimental program of cross-disciplinary exhibitions, performances, artists and curators residencies and public programs which reflect the state of contemporary art today: new forms, new voices and new thought. The Moore Space is located at 4040 NE 2nd Avenue, 2nd floor in the Design District. =0D=0A=
 Locust Projects is an alternative, not for profit, Miami based exhibition space dedicated to providing contemporary visual artists the freedom to experiment with new ideas and methods without the pressures of gallery sales or other limitations of conventional exhibition spaces. Artists are encouraged to create site-specific installations as an extension of their representative work; Locust Projects offers them a vibrant Miami experience to develop their ideas and methods. Locust Projects is committed to offering an approachable and inviting venue for the Miami and international art community to experience the work and meet the artist. Locust Projects is located at 105 NW 23rd Street in Wynwood. =0D=0A=
 Antikulture Gallery & Boutique Announces Grand Opening with LoCastro’s “PSYCHE” Exhibition. =0D=0A=
 Antikulture Gallery & Boutique opens its doors to the public with “PSYCHE” a special exhibition curated by local lowbrow pioneer Francesco LoCastro who was behind the Art Center/ South Florida’s "We'll Make a Lover of You" exhibition during Art Basel, Miami Beach. =0D=0A=
 =0D=0A=
 The “PSYCHE” exhibtition runs from April 14, 2007 to May 19, 2007. The opening reception is slated for Saturday, April 14, 2007 from 7:00 to 11:00 p.m. during the Wynwood Arts District Gallery Walk. The event is free and open to the public.=0D=0A=

 For the first time, pieces from LoCastro’s private art collection will be on view, as well as new, original paintings and drawings by the artist, available for purchase. LoCastro’s collection and work focuses on the avant-garde lowbrow/ pop surrealist movement, which has been the passion and advocacy of the artist and independent curator for the last ten years. Over 50 works by some of the movement’s biggest names will be on display and several of them will be released for sale.=0D=0A=
 =0D=0A=
 The “PSYCHE” exhibition marks LoCastro’s decade-long journey from local artist to a recognized figure of the worldwide art phenomenon. “South Florida’s undisputed King of Lowbrow” (Flavorpill.com) takes a break from his national exhibition schedule to give Miami an intimate glimpse at the work that inspired him and the movement that catapulted LoCastro to be “a permanent force to be reckoned with” (Juxtapoz Magazine).=0D=0A=
 =0D=0A=
 LoCastro adds: “Antikulture Magazine and Gallery are vital in bringing a new and exciting perspective on art to the forefront of Miami’s slowly flourishing cultural scene. It’s the reason why I chose to work with the Antikulture team on this very personal project of mine; and I am confident that their positive attitude and professionalism will be embraced by the local art community that is ready for a new approach and fresh point of view.”Chicano Visions=0D=0A=

 Now through May 1=0D=0A=
 Seventy-seven works by 26 Chicano artists, drawn mostly from the collection of Cheech Marin, who in less than two decades has built one of the largest collections of Chicano art in the world. "The Chicano School of Painting has always been about re-interpreting a culture," says Marin. "That culture has been shown to be diverse, yet unified, profane and spiritual, traditional and avant-garde. Where other 'schools' of painting have been defined overwhelmingly by stylistic concerns, the Chicano School combines stylistic innovation, blends traditional Mexican popular and religious iconography with modern images of urban angst, and reflects the continually evolving role of Mexican Americans or Chicanos within a larger 'American' society." =0D=0A=

 Hot off its extended, boffo Lincoln Center Theater run, The Clean House is smart, contemporary, alluring, funny, and as Charles Isherwood in The New York Times said, a play that is “romantic, deeply so … visionary, tinged with fantasy, extravagant in feeling, maybe a little nuts.” Written by “a provocative new theatrical voice,” here’s a story about a successful couple, their Portuguese maid who hates to clean, the wife’s sister who lives to clean, the affairs, jokes, and perfect punch line. You’ll fall down laughing and fall in love with Ruhl’s affaire de coeur. =0D=0A=

 BIOGRAPHY=0D=0A=
 Gérard Vachez was born in France in 1961.=0D=0A=
 His strong desire to study arts led him to a degree in Fine Arts & Graphic Design at Sorbonne in 1984. Shortly after graduation Gérard was hired by the French government to organize Bujumbura’s Cultural Center in Burundi (Central Africa). Africa greatly inspired the young artist who started to take photographs.=0D=0A=
 Gathering his most beautiful black & white pieces he held his first exhibition in Burundi, Rwanda and Zaïre. In 1986 Gérard returned to France, to settle in Paris.=0D=0A=
 After working as an art director for various advertising agencies, he opened his own art studio, the well-renowned “Vue du Pont”. The studio was successful and its clientele increasingly prestigious. It was time for Gérard to hold his first Parisian photography exhibition. The show, held at the Bip gallery, was a hit. He had two more shows in Paris before leaving France.=0D=0A=
 In 1995, Gérard opened another branch of “Vue du Pont” in the West Indies. His reputation quickly spread throughout the Caribbean and the American market and soon he would meet a person who eventually changed his career.=0D=0A=
 In 1998, Michael Capponi, Miami’s famous nightlife promoter, was introduced to Gérard while visiting Guadeloupe. Michael was enthralled by Gérard’s creativity and a deep friendship rapidly formed. He was the catalyst of Gérard’s move to the USA.=0D=0A=
 Through him, Gérard met the prestigious nightlife entrepreneur Chris Paciello and became art director and head of advertising for CP Ventures.=0D=0A=
 A year later Gérard started his own company, Xposure Advertising, an international enterprise with a client list including companies based in the USA, Europe and the Caribbean.=0D=0A=
 Art being Gerard’s main interest, he never ceased holding exhibitions along his career.=0D=0A=
 BODIES reflects the creativity of blending painting and photography.=0D=0A=
 I have always been inspired by bodies in motion and wanted movement to transpire in my pictures. With this intent I used a large tampered glass panel on which I mixed paints and lights while a model moved behind it. The light coming through the colors created a new atmosphere while the model’s moving body was constantly altered by the colored wall of glass. It also took her in and out of focus, accentuating the painting effect.=0D=0A=
 The results were almost unsettling. Where did the photo end and the painting begin?=0D=0A=
 PAINTINGS=0D=0A=
 These paintings were designed to be screened during a special event organized by the University of Sorbonne in Paris. Instead of photographing painted canvases, I chose to create the whole thing on a slide in order to be more of an innovator and cast a more interesting approach to the project.=0D=0A=
 So, I used clear Rodoid Plastic and then mixed a lot of different materials and medias on it.=0D=0A=
 After my first tests with some Ecolines, I began to tamper with the media: scratching it, cutting and gluing it back together to create several layers. For this purpose, I used different types of glue, each reacting differently to the heat of the slide projector. For example, when left long enough inside the machine, some slides would begin to crack slowly, resembling old varnished painting.=0D=0A=
 As for the colors, aside the Ecolines, I also used oil-based paint, Indian ink, acrylics... All mixed with cotton or fabric pieces, raw fibers, I even set some creations on fire to alter them.=0D=0A=
 Most of these slides were painted inside their little frames, others were painted on a larger support, then cut later on.=0D=0A=
 Third All-Media Juried Biennial Exhibition Opens on April 6=0D=0A=
 The Art and Culture Center of Hollywood’s Third All-Media Juried Biennial Exhibition will open at the Center’s galleries on Friday, April 6 and run through Sunday, May 20.

 These entries were selected from more than 600 works submitted by 211 Florida-based artists. From this pool, the best 37 artists were chosen by this year’s juror Claire Breukel, executive director of Locust Projects located in Miami, then narrowed down to these six award-winners:=0D=0A=
 · Best in Show ($2,000 prize): Robert C. Flynn, Garland=0D=0A=
 · First Place ($1,000 prize): Brad Kuhl and Monique Leyton, One Bourbon, One Scotch, and One Beer=0D=0A=

 · Third Place ($400 prize): Tom Scicluna, X=0D=0A=
 · Honorable Mention: Diane Arrieta, Neighbors=0D=0A=
 · Honorable Mention: Raul Jose Mendez, The Fear=0D=0A=
 The awards and cash prizes totaling $4,000 will be presented at an opening reception that will occur from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 5. A slideshow featuring selected artwork from all of the contestants will be shown as part of the exhibition.=0D=0A=

 Tyranny and war both come with extreme costs, and we often forget who pays.  From the outside looking in, it's easy to view a nation's population as some formless group, joined by a shared religion or language.  =0D=0A=
  =0D=0A=
 Writer/Performer Heather Raffo spent 11 years conducting dozens of interviews on and over four continents with Iraqi women.  Her resulting "theatrical mosaic" depicts the realities of life in Iraq both under Saddam Hussein and since his ouster for several of these unique women, whose individuals worlds have been frayed and fractured, sometimes beyond repair, by their country's history.  =0D=0A=
  =0D=0A=
 Nine Parts of Desire was inspired by Raffo's trip to the Saddam Art Center in Baghdad in 1993 where she saw only billboard-size portraits of Saddam Hussein. However, in a back room she discovered a painting of a nude woman clinging to a barren tree with her head bowed. There was a light in front of her, like a sun. Raffo took a photo of the painting in hopes of finding the artist, only to discover she had been killed during an American-led bombing raid in Baghdad earlier that year.=0D=0A=

 Enter Dorian Gray, a smolderingly perfect 18 year-old beauty with a mysterious past. When a bad-boy artist named Basil spots Dorian on the scene, he is instantly smitten (who wouldn’t be?), launches a bold seduction, and makes his conquest the star of a video installation that takes the city by storm: the eponymous picture of Dorian Gray. But for Dorian, the video sparks an allconsuming vanity, a fear of growing old and ugly, and ultimately, a bargain with the devil.=0D=0A=

 In this sumptuous and groundbreaking romantic epic, forbidden love blossoms on a lush jungle island in modern China. It’s a place of haunting beauty and centuries-old customs, at once a liberating Eden and a repressive backwater. With tender lyricism, director Dai Sijie captures the emotion of this taboo love affair with precious few words and a treasure-trove of intoxicating images: an illicit sexual rendezvous on a mossy jungle bridge; a nude encounter in a steam-bath of hallucinatory herbs.=0D=0A=

 Boca Raton Museum of Art's Next Exhibition: Jeanne Hillary: Eden. A New Media Project February 28 through June 3, 2007 =0D=0A=
 The Boca Raton Museum of Art is pleased to announce the February 28th opening of Jeanne Hilary: Eden. A New Media Project, which will be on display through June 3, 2007. =0D=0A=
 JEANNE HILARY: EDEN. A NEW MEDIA PROJECT =0D=0A=
 Documentary photography presents the possibility of understanding. Paris-based American photographer Jeanne Hilary's Eden communicates a visionary “portrait of America” through photographic landscapes and portraits of everyday small towns across the country. =0D=0A=
 This exhibition of enigmatic large-format photographs and video is one component of an ambitious project which includes site-specific installations of the images on commercial outdoor billboards, electronic digital billboards and an interactive Eden website which incorporates imagery, text, poetry and recorded indigenous folk/roots music. The outdoor installations and the videotaped actions/reactions of the public to these images are connected to each other and viewers via the interactive website and exhibition. =0D=0A=
 Eden images are intended to draw attention to ideas of authenticity and changing concepts of time. Hilary states: “The philosophical foundation of the project is to evoke the histories of small-town America, and, via the website and digital billboards, bring these histories to urban dwellers both in and outside the USA. It is hoped that Eden will encourage viewers to think about their place in time, and see their environment as an historical place, of which the present moment is but one part of an endless accumulation of memory… Eden, is a view from the road of our good intentions.” =0D=0A=
 This project and exhibition has been supported by an Artist-in-Residency grant from the Palm Beach County Cultural Council. =0D=0A=
 The Boca Raton Museum of Art is open Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.; Wednesday 10 a.m. - 9 p.m.; and Saturday and Sunday noon - 5 p.m. Admission for this Special Exhibition is $17 for adults, $15 for senior citizens (65 and older), $12 per person for group tours and $6 for students. =0D=0A=

 CAPTURE, BURN & BLOW UP features photography, photo-based work and video. In keeping with the mission of the Society of Photographic Educators that “seeks to promote a broader understanding of the medium in all its forms, and to foster the development of its practice, teaching, scholarship and criticism,…” some of the artists in this exhibit are teachers while others educate through the story implicit in their images. The group show presents the work of artists Priscilla Ferguson, Gerardo Marulanda, Rolando Dal Pezzo, Alette Simmons-Jimenez, Maria Caridad Perez, Vanessa Monokian, Lourdes Peñaranda, and Hugo Moro. Whether the artist first gazed through the lens to discover his inspiration, or, once inspired, the lens became the tool through which a concept was developed, the assembled collection presents a kaleidoscopic view of richly complex and varied work. In their first collaborative project, The Moore Space and Locust Projects are pleased to present the two-venue exhibition Conditions of Display, curated by Gean Moreno. This exhibition will open to the public at both locations on SATURDAY, APRIL 14, 2007 FROM 7-10PM and will include the following 23 artists: Shahin Afrassiabi, Tobias Buche, Gardar Einar Einarsson, Eugenio Espinoza, Andrea Fraser, Gaylen Gerber, Adler Guerrier, Swetlana Heger, Gareth James, Sergej Jensen, Michael Krebber, Michaela Meise, Paulina Olowska, Elena Pankova, Sean Paul, Kristen Pieroth, Seth Price, Blake Rayne, Michael S. Riedel, Josh Smith, Christopher Williams, Johannes Wohnseifer, and Kevin Zucker. =0D=0A=
 In recent years there has been a renewed interest among younger artists to produce work that rescues some of the critical gestures of past generations. Conditions of Display sets out to showcase and explore the meaning of this refocusing on display strategies, presentational contexts, and the myriad ways in which artworks are framed and distributed. Stemming from the preoccupations of early conceptual artists that first turned toward a rigorous investigation of site, the concerns of these younger artists engage not only the immediate physical locale where the work is exhibited but the systems of distribution and display in which they function. Beyond this, the exhibition will explore how the critical gestures fare in our contemporary socio-cultural situation. =0D=0A=
 The work of five artists that first emerged in the late 1980s and early 1990s-Andrea Fraser, Christopher Williams, Michael Krebber, Eugenio Espinoza and Gaylen Geber-made theirs the tradition of institutional critique and context-specific production. Against these, the work of the younger artists in Conditions of Display will be presented. Relying on different media-from digital videos to banners to paintings-these younger artists have revived certain critical and self-reflexive gestures, renewing an interrogation of site and the systems that frame the art object while remaining keenly aware of the socio-cultural situation in which the function. =0D=0A=
 Along with pre-existing objects, a number of the artists will be producing projects specifically for this exhibition. Gaylen Gerber will participate with a new Backdrop painting made specifically for The Moore Space. Berlin-based artist Tobias Buche will build a new, large-scaled display unit. Shahin Afrassiabi has shot a new video that focuses on educational spaces. Miami-based artists Adler Guerrier and Eugenio Espinoza will both make new work. Guerrier’s will involve, among other things, a psycho-geography of the increasingly-gentrified neighborhood of Wynwood and Espinoza will be rehabilitating part of the installation that he produced for Locust Projects in 2005. Sean Paul and Michael S Riedel are both working on context-specific reactions to the sites in which this exhibition will take place. Gardar Einar Einarsson and Blake Rayne will also be participating with new work. =0D=0A=
 This exhibition runs through the end of June at both locations. The Moore Space is a non-profit art space in the Design District in Miami. Founded in 2001, its mission is to present international contemporary art forms. It will achieve this through an experimental program of cross-disciplinary exhibitions, performances, artists and curators residencies and public programs which reflect the state of contemporary art today: new forms, new voices and new thought. The Moore Space is located at 4040 NE 2nd Avenue, 2nd floor in the Design District. =0D=0A=
 Locust Projects is an alternative, not for profit, Miami based exhibition space dedicated to providing contemporary visual artists the freedom to experiment with new ideas and methods without the pressures of gallery sales or other limitations of conventional exhibition spaces. Artists are encouraged to create site-specific installations as an extension of their representative work; Locust Projects offers them a vibrant Miami experience to develop their ideas and methods. Locust Projects is committed to offering an approachable and inviting venue for the Miami and international art community to experience the work and meet the artist. Locust Projects is located at 105 NW 23rd Street in Wynwood. =0D=0A=
 Antikulture Gallery & Boutique Announces Grand Opening with LoCastro’s “PSYCHE” Exhibition. =0D=0A=
 Antikulture Gallery & Boutique opens its doors to the public with “PSYCHE” a special exhibition curated by local lowbrow pioneer Francesco LoCastro who was behind the Art Center/ South Florida’s "We'll Make a Lover of You" exhibition during Art Basel, Miami Beach. =0D=0A=
 =0D=0A=
 The “PSYCHE” exhibtition runs from April 14, 2007 to May 19, 2007. The opening reception is slated for Saturday, April 14, 2007 from 7:00 to 11:00 p.m. during the Wynwood Arts District Gallery Walk. The event is free and open to the public.=0D=0A=

 For the first time, pieces from LoCastro’s private art collection will be on view, as well as new, original paintings and drawings by the artist, available for purchase. LoCastro’s collection and work focuses on the avant-garde lowbrow/ pop surrealist movement, which has been the passion and advocacy of the artist and independent curator for the last ten years. Over 50 works by some of the movement’s biggest names will be on display and several of them will be released for sale.=0D=0A=
 =0D=0A=
 The “PSYCHE” exhibition marks LoCastro’s decade-long journey from local artist to a recognized figure of the worldwide art phenomenon. “South Florida’s undisputed King of Lowbrow” (Flavorpill.com) takes a break from his national exhibition schedule to give Miami an intimate glimpse at the work that inspired him and the movement that catapulted LoCastro to be “a permanent force to be reckoned with” (Juxtapoz Magazine).=0D=0A=
 =0D=0A=
 LoCastro adds: “Antikulture Magazine and Gallery are vital in bringing a new and exciting perspective on art to the forefront of Miami’s slowly flourishing cultural scene. It’s the reason why I chose to work with the Antikulture team on this very personal project of mine; and I am confident that their positive attitude and professionalism will be embraced by the local art community that is ready for a new approach and fresh point of view.”Chicano Visions=0D=0A=
 American Painters on the Verge=0D=0A=
 Now through May 1=0D=0A=
 Seventy-seven works by 26 Chicano artists, drawn mostly from the collection of Cheech Marin, who in less than two decades has built one of the largest collections of Chicano art in the world. "The Chicano School of Painting has always been about re-interpreting a culture," says Marin. "That culture has been shown to be diverse, yet unified, profane and spiritual, traditional and avant-garde. Where other 'schools' of painting have been defined overwhelmingly by stylistic concerns, the Chicano School combines stylistic innovation, blends traditional Mexican popular and religious iconography with modern images of urban angst, and reflects the continually evolving role of Mexican Americans or Chicanos within a larger 'American' society." =0D=0A=

 CALDWELL THEATRE COMPANY Presents The Florida Premiere of THE CLEAN HOUSE=0D=0A=
 Straight From Its Successful New York Run=0D=0A=
 Caldwell Theatre Company has just snagged the rights to the Florida Premiere of Sarah Ruhl’s critically acclaimed The Clean House, which just ended its extended run at New York’s Lincoln Center Theater.

 The Clean House will replace Cowgirls, which is postponed due to illness in the families of several of its key cast members. One of the best new plays in recent history, The Clean House won the distinguished 2004 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize. It is smart. It is alluring. It is fall down funny. And it is provocative.=0D=0A=

 April 8, 2007 - May 20, 2007=0D=0A=
 Comedy By Sarah Ruhl=0D=0A=
 Hot off its extended, boffo Lincoln Center Theater run, The Clean House is smart, contemporary, alluring, funny, and as Charles Isherwood in The New York Times said, a play that is “romantic, deeply so … visionary, tinged with fantasy, extravagant in feeling, maybe a little nuts.” Written by “a provocative new theatrical voice,” here’s a story about a successful couple, their Portuguese maid who hates to clean, the wife’s sister who lives to clean, the affairs, jokes, and perfect punch line. You’ll fall down laughing and fall in love with Ruhl’s affaire de coeur. =0D=0A=

 BIOGRAPHY=0D=0A=
 Gérard Vachez was born in France in 1961.=0D=0A=
 His strong desire to study arts led him to a degree in Fine Arts & Graphic Design at Sorbonne in 1984. Shortly after graduation Gérard was hired by the French government to organize Bujumbura’s Cultural Center in Burundi (Central Africa). Africa greatly inspired the young artist who started to take photographs.=0D=0A=
 Gathering his most beautiful black & white pieces he held his first exhibition in Burundi, Rwanda and Zaïre. In 1986 Gérard returned to France, to settle in Paris.=0D=0A=
 After working as an art director for various advertising agencies, he opened his own art studio, the well-renowned “Vue du Pont”. The studio was successful and its clientele increasingly prestigious. It was time for Gérard to hold his first Parisian photography exhibition. The show, held at the Bip gallery, was a hit. He had two more shows in Paris before leaving France.=0D=0A=
 In 1995, Gérard opened another branch of “Vue du Pont” in the West Indies. His reputation quickly spread throughout the Caribbean and the American market and soon he would meet a person who eventually changed his career.=0D=0A=
 In 1998, Michael Capponi, Miami’s famous nightlife promoter, was introduced to Gérard while visiting Guadeloupe. Michael was enthralled by Gérard’s creativity and a deep friendship rapidly formed. He was the catalyst of Gérard’s move to the USA.=0D=0A=
 Through him, Gérard met the prestigious nightlife entrepreneur Chris Paciello and became art director and head of advertising for CP Ventures.=0D=0A=
 A year later Gérard started his own company, Xposure Advertising, an international enterprise with a client list including companies based in the USA, Europe and the Caribbean.=0D=0A=
 Art being Gerard’s main interest, he never ceased holding exhibitions along his career.=0D=0A=
 BODIES reflects the creativity of blending painting and photography.=0D=0A=
 I have always been inspired by bodies in motion and wanted movement to transpire in my pictures. With this intent I used a large tampered glass panel on which I mixed paints and lights while a model moved behind it. The light coming through the colors created a new atmosphere while the model’s moving body was constantly altered by the colored wall of glass. It also took her in and out of focus, accentuating the painting effect.=0D=0A=
 The results were almost unsettling. Where did the photo end and the painting begin?=0D=0A=
 PAINTINGS=0D=0A=
 These paintings were designed to be screened during a special event organized by the University of Sorbonne in Paris. Instead of photographing painted canvases, I chose to create the whole thing on a slide in order to be more of an innovator and cast a more interesting approach to the project.=0D=0A=
 So, I used clear Rodoid Plastic and then mixed a lot of different materials and medias on it.=0D=0A=
 After my first tests with some Ecolines, I began to tamper with the media: scratching it, cutting and gluing it back together to create several layers. For this purpose, I used different types of glue, each reacting differently to the heat of the slide projector. For example, when left long enough inside the machine, some slides would begin to crack slowly, resembling old varnished painting.=0D=0A=
 As for the colors, aside the Ecolines, I also used oil-based paint, Indian ink, acrylics... All mixed with cotton or fabric pieces, raw fibers, I even set some creations on fire to alter them.=0D=0A=
 Most of these slides were painted inside their little frames, others were painted on a larger support, then cut later on.=0D=0A=
 Third All-Media Juried Biennial Exhibition Opens on April 6=0D=0A=

 · Third Place ($400 prize): Tom Scicluna, X=0D=0A=
 · Honorable Mention: Diane Arrieta, Neighbors=0D=0A=
 · Honorable Mention: Raul Jose Mendez, The Fear=0D=0A=

 Tyranny and war both come with extreme costs, and we often forget who pays.  From the outside looking in, it's easy to view a nation's population as some formless group, joined by a shared religion or language.  =0D=0A=
  =0D=0A=
 Writer/Performer Heather Raffo spent 11 years conducting dozens of interviews on and over four continents with Iraqi women.  Her resulting "theatrical mosaic" depicts the realities of life in Iraq both under Saddam Hussein and since his ouster for several of these unique women, whose individuals worlds have been frayed and fractured, sometimes beyond repair, by their country's history.  =0D=0A=
  =0D=0A=
 Nine Parts of Desire was inspired by Raffo's trip to the Saddam Art Center in Baghdad in 1993 where she saw only billboard-size portraits of Saddam Hussein. However, in a back room she discovered a painting of a nude woman clinging to a barren tree with her head bowed. There was a light in front of her, like a sun. Raffo took a photo of the painting in hopes of finding the artist, only to discover she had been killed during an American-led bombing raid in Baghdad earlier that year.=0D=0A=

 Enter Dorian Gray, a smolderingly perfect 18 year-old beauty with a mysterious past. When a bad-boy artist named Basil spots Dorian on the scene, he is instantly smitten (who wouldn’t be?), launches a bold seduction, and makes his conquest the star of a video installation that takes the city by storm: the eponymous picture of Dorian Gray. But for Dorian, the video sparks an allconsuming vanity, a fear of growing old and ugly, and ultimately, a bargain with the devil.=0D=0A=

 In this sumptuous and groundbreaking romantic epic, forbidden love blossoms on a lush jungle island in modern China. It’s a place of haunting beauty and centuries-old customs, at once a liberating Eden and a repressive backwater. With tender lyricism, director Dai Sijie captures the emotion of this taboo love affair with precious few words and a treasure-trove of intoxicating images: an illicit sexual rendezvous on a mossy jungle bridge; a nude encounter in a steam-bath of hallucinatory herbs.=0D=0A=

 Boca Raton Museum of Art's Next Exhibition: Jeanne Hillary: Eden. A New Media Project February 28 through June 3, 2007 =0D=0A=
 The Boca Raton Museum of Art is pleased to announce the February 28th opening of Jeanne Hilary: Eden. A New Media Project, which will be on display through June 3, 2007. =0D=0A=
 JEANNE HILARY: EDEN. A NEW MEDIA PROJECT =0D=0A=
 Documentary photography presents the possibility of understanding. Paris-based American photographer Jeanne Hilary's Eden communicates a visionary “portrait of America” through photographic landscapes and portraits of everyday small towns across the country. =0D=0A=
 This exhibition of enigmatic large-format photographs and video is one component of an ambitious project which includes site-specific installations of the images on commercial outdoor billboards, electronic digital billboards and an interactive Eden website which incorporates imagery, text, poetry and recorded indigenous folk/roots music. The outdoor installations and the videotaped actions/reactions of the public to these images are connected to each other and viewers via the interactive website and exhibition. =0D=0A=
 Eden images are intended to draw attention to ideas of authenticity and changing concepts of time. Hilary states: “The philosophical foundation of the project is to evoke the histories of small-town America, and, via the website and digital billboards, bring these histories to urban dwellers both in and outside the USA. It is hoped that Eden will encourage viewers to think about their place in time, and see their environment as an historical place, of which the present moment is but one part of an endless accumulation of memory… Eden, is a view from the road of our good intentions.” =0D=0A=
 This project and exhibition has been supported by an Artist-in-Residency grant from the Palm Beach County Cultural Council. =0D=0A=
 The Boca Raton Museum of Art is open Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.; Wednesday 10 a.m. - 9 p.m.; and Saturday and Sunday noon - 5 p.m. Admission for this Special Exhibition is $17 for adults, $15 for senior citizens (65 and older), $12 per person for group tours and $6 for students. =0D=0A=

 CAPTURE, BURN & BLOW UP features photography, photo-based work and video. In keeping with the mission of the Society of Photographic Educators that “seeks to promote a broader understanding of the medium in all its forms, and to foster the development of its practice, teaching, scholarship and criticism,…” some of the artists in this exhibit are teachers while others educate through the story implicit in their images. The group show presents the work of artists Priscilla Ferguson, Gerardo Marulanda, Rolando Dal Pezzo, Alette Simmons-Jimenez, Maria Caridad Perez, Vanessa Monokian, Lourdes Peñaranda, and Hugo Moro. Whether the artist first gazed through the lens to discover his inspiration, or, once inspired, the lens became the tool through which a concept was developed, the assembled collection presents a kaleidoscopic view of richly complex and varied work. In their first collaborative project, The Moore Space and Locust Projects are pleased to present the two-venue exhibition Conditions of Display, curated by Gean Moreno. This exhibition will open to the public at both locations on SATURDAY, APRIL 14, 2007 FROM 7-10PM and will include the following 23 artists: Shahin Afrassiabi, Tobias Buche, Gardar Einar Einarsson, Eugenio Espinoza, Andrea Fraser, Gaylen Gerber, Adler Guerrier, Swetlana Heger, Gareth James, Sergej Jensen, Michael Krebber, Michaela Meise, Paulina Olowska, Elena Pankova, Sean Paul, Kristen Pieroth, Seth Price, Blake Rayne, Michael S. Riedel, Josh Smith, Christopher Williams, Johannes Wohnseifer, and Kevin Zucker. =0D=0A=
 In recent years there has been a renewed interest among younger artists to produce work that rescues some of the critical gestures of past generations. Conditions of Display sets out to showcase and explore the meaning of this refocusing on display strategies, presentational contexts, and the myriad ways in which artworks are framed and distributed. Stemming from the preoccupations of early conceptual artists that first turned toward a rigorous investigation of site, the concerns of these younger artists engage not only the immediate physical locale where the work is exhibited but the systems of distribution and display in which they function. Beyond this, the exhibition will explore how the critical gestures fare in our contemporary socio-cultural situation. =0D=0A=
 The work of five artists that first emerged in the late 1980s and early 1990s-Andrea Fraser, Christopher Williams, Michael Krebber, Eugenio Espinoza and Gaylen Geber-made theirs the tradition of institutional critique and context-specific production. Against these, the work of the younger artists in Conditions of Display will be presented. Relying on different media-from digital videos to banners to paintings-these younger artists have revived certain critical and self-reflexive gestures, renewing an interrogation of site and the systems that frame the art object while remaining keenly aware of the socio-cultural situation in which the function. =0D=0A=
 Along with pre-existing objects, a number of the artists will be producing projects specifically for this exhibition. Gaylen Gerber will participate with a new Backdrop painting made specifically for The Moore Space. Berlin-based artist Tobias Buche will build a new, large-scaled display unit. Shahin Afrassiabi has shot a new video that focuses on educational spaces. Miami-based artists Adler Guerrier and Eugenio Espinoza will both make new work. Guerrier’s will involve, among other things, a psycho-geography of the increasingly-gentrified neighborhood of Wynwood and Espinoza will be rehabilitating part of the installation that he produced for Locust Projects in 2005. Sean Paul and Michael S Riedel are both working on context-specific reactions to the sites in which this exhibition will take place. Gardar Einar Einarsson and Blake Rayne will also be participating with new work. =0D=0A=
 This exhibition runs through the end of June at both locations. The Moore Space is a non-profit art space in the Design District in Miami. Founded in 2001, its mission is to present international contemporary art forms. It will achieve this through an experimental program of cross-disciplinary exhibitions, performances, artists and curators residencies and public programs which reflect the state of contemporary art today: new forms, new voices and new thought. The Moore Space is located at 4040 NE 2nd Avenue, 2nd floor in the Design District. =0D=0A=

 Antikulture Gallery & Boutique opens its doors to the public with “PSYCHE” a special exhibition curated by local lowbrow pioneer Francesco LoCastro who was behind the Art Center/ South Florida’s "We'll Make a Lover of You" exhibition during Art Basel, Miami Beach. =0D=0A=

 For the first time, pieces from LoCastro’s private art collection will be on view, as well as new, original paintings and drawings by the artist, available for purchase. LoCastro’s collection and work focuses on the avant-garde lowbrow/ pop surrealist movement, which has been the passion and advocacy of the artist and independent curator for the last ten years. Over 50 works by some of the movement’s biggest names will be on display and several of them will be released for sale.=0D=0A=
 =0D=0A=
 The “PSYCHE” exhibition marks LoCastro’s decade-long journey from local artist to a recognized figure of the worldwide art phenomenon. “South Florida’s undisputed King of Lowbrow” (Flavorpill.com) takes a break from his national exhibition schedule to give Miami an intimate glimpse at the work that inspired him and the movement that catapulted LoCastro to be “a permanent force to be reckoned with” (Juxtapoz Magazine).=0D=0A=
 =0D=0A=
 LoCastro adds: “Antikulture Magazine and Gallery are vital in bringing a new and exciting perspective on art to the forefront of Miami’s slowly flourishing cultural scene. It’s the reason why I chose to work with the Antikulture team on this very personal project of mine; and I am confident that their positive attitude and professionalism will be embraced by the local art community that is ready for a new approach and fresh point of view.”Chicano Visions=0D=0A=
 American Painters on the Verge=0D=0A=
 Now through May 1=0D=0A=
 Seventy-seven works by 26 Chicano artists, drawn mostly from the collection of Cheech Marin, who in less than two decades has built one of the largest collections of Chicano art in the world. "The Chicano School of Painting has always been about re-interpreting a culture," says Marin. "That culture has been shown to be diverse, yet unified, profane and spiritual, traditional and avant-garde. Where other 'schools' of painting have been defined overwhelmingly by stylistic concerns, the Chicano School combines stylistic innovation, blends traditional Mexican popular and religious iconography with modern images of urban angst, and reflects the continually evolving role of Mexican Americans or Chicanos within a larger 'American' society." =0D=0A=

 Comedy By Sarah Ruhl=0D=0A=
 Hot off its extended, boffo Lincoln Center Theater run, The Clean House is smart, contemporary, alluring, funny, and as Charles Isherwood in The New York Times said, a play that is “romantic, deeply so … visionary, tinged with fantasy, extravagant in feeling, maybe a little nuts.” Written by “a provocative new theatrical voice,” here’s a story about a successful couple, their Portuguese maid who hates to clean, the wife’s sister who lives to clean, the affairs, jokes, and perfect punch line. You’ll fall down laughing and fall in love with Ruhl’s affaire de coeur. =0D=0A=

 BIOGRAPHY=0D=0A=
 Gérard Vachez was born in France in 1961.=0D=0A=
 His strong desire to study arts led him to a degree in Fine Arts & Graphic Design at Sorbonne in 1984. Shortly after graduation Gérard was hired by the French government to organize Bujumbura’s Cultural Center in Burundi (Central Africa). Africa greatly inspired the young artist who started to take photographs.=0D=0A=
 Gathering his most beautiful black & white pieces he held his first exhibition in Burundi, Rwanda and Zaïre. In 1986 Gérard returned to France, to settle in Paris.=0D=0A=
 After working as an art director for various advertising agencies, he opened his own art studio, the well-renowned “Vue du Pont”. The studio was successful and its clientele increasingly prestigious. It was time for Gérard to hold his first Parisian photography exhibition. The show, held at the Bip gallery, was a hit. He had two more shows in Paris before leaving France.=0D=0A=
 In 1995, Gérard opened another branch of “Vue du Pont” in the West Indies. His reputation quickly spread throughout the Caribbean and the American market and soon he would meet a person who eventually changed his career.=0D=0A=
 In 1998, Michael Capponi, Miami’s famous nightlife promoter, was introduced to Gérard while visiting Guadeloupe. Michael was enthralled by Gérard’s creativity and a deep friendship rapidly formed. He was the catalyst of Gérard’s move to the USA.=0D=0A=
 Through him, Gérard met the prestigious nightlife entrepreneur Chris Paciello and became art director and head of advertising for CP Ventures.=0D=0A=
 A year later Gérard started his own company, Xposure Advertising, an international enterprise with a client list including companies based in the USA, Europe and the Caribbean.=0D=0A=
 Art being Gerard’s main interest, he never ceased holding exhibitions along his career.=0D=0A=
 BODIES reflects the creativity of blending painting and photography.=0D=0A=
 I have always been inspired by bodies in motion and wanted movement to transpire in my pictures. With this intent I used a large tampered glass panel on which I mixed paints and lights while a model moved behind it. The light coming through the colors created a new atmosphere while the model’s moving body was constantly altered by the colored wall of glass. It also took her in and out of focus, accentuating the painting effect.=0D=0A=
 The results were almost unsettling. Where did the photo end and the painting begin?=0D=0A=
 PAINTINGS=0D=0A=
 These paintings were designed to be screened during a special event organized by the University of Sorbonne in Paris. Instead of photographing painted canvases, I chose to create the whole thing on a slide in order to be more of an innovator and cast a more interesting approach to the project.=0D=0A=
 So, I used clear Rodoid Plastic and then mixed a lot of different materials and medias on it.=0D=0A=
 After my first tests with some Ecolines, I began to tamper with the media: scratching it, cutting and gluing it back together to create several layers. For this purpose, I used different types of glue, each reacting differently to the heat of the slide projector. For example, when left long enough inside the machine, some slides would begin to crack slowly, resembling old varnished painting.=0D=0A=
 As for the colors, aside the Ecolines, I also used oil-based paint, Indian ink, acrylics... All mixed with cotton or fabric pieces, raw fibers, I even set some creations on fire to alter them.=0D=0A=
 Most of these slides were painted inside their little frames, others were painted on a larger support, then cut later on.=0D=0A=
 Third All-Media Juried Biennial Exhibition Opens on April 6=0D=0A=

 · First Place ($1,000 prize): Brad Kuhl and Monique Leyton, One Bourbon, One Scotch, and One Beer=0D=0A=

 · Third Place ($400 prize): Tom Scicluna, X=0D=0A=
 · Honorable Mention: Diane Arrieta, Neighbors=0D=0A=
 · Honorable Mention: Raul Jose Mendez, The Fear=0D=0A=

 =0D=0A=
 Tyranny and war both come with extreme costs, and we often forget who pays.  From the outside looking in, it's easy to view a nation's population as some formless group, joined by a shared religion or language.  =0D=0A=
  =0D=0A=
 Writer/Performer Heather Raffo spent 11 years conducting dozens of interviews on and over four continents with Iraqi women.  Her resulting "theatrical mosaic" depicts the realities of life in Iraq both under Saddam Hussein and since his ouster for several of these unique women, whose individuals worlds have been frayed and fractured, sometimes beyond repair, by their country's history.  =0D=0A=
  =0D=0A=
 Nine Parts of Desire was inspired by Raffo's trip to the Saddam Art Center in Baghdad in 1993 where she saw only billboard-size portraits of Saddam Hussein. However, in a back room she discovered a painting of a nude woman clinging to a barren tree with her head bowed. There was a light in front of her, like a sun. Raffo took a photo of the painting in hopes of finding the artist, only to discover she had been killed during an American-led bombing raid in Baghdad earlier that year.=0D=0A=

When a bad-boy artist named Basil spots Dorian on the scene, he is instantly smitten (who wouldn’t be?), launches a bold seduction, and makes his conquest the star of a video installation that takes the city by storm: the eponymous picture of Dorian Gray. But for Dorian, the video sparks an allconsuming vanity, a fear of growing old and ugly, and ultimately, a bargain with the devil.=0D=0A=

 In this sumptuous and groundbreaking romantic epic, forbidden love blossoms on a lush jungle island in modern China. It’s a place of haunting beauty and centuries-old customs, at once a liberating Eden and a repressive backwater. With tender lyricism, director Dai Sijie captures the emotion of this taboo love affair with precious few words and a treasure-trove of intoxicating images: an illicit sexual rendezvous on a mossy jungle bridge; a nude encounter in a steam-bath of hallucinatory herbs.=0D=0A=

 JEANNE HILARY: EDEN. A NEW MEDIA PROJECT =0D=0A=
 Documentary photography presents the possibility of understanding. Paris-based American photographer Jeanne Hilary's Eden communicates a visionary “portrait of America” through photographic landscapes and portraits of everyday small towns across the country. =0D=0A=
 This exhibition of enigmatic large-format photographs and video is one component of an ambitious project which includes site-specific installations of the images on commercial outdoor billboards, electronic digital billboards and an interactive Eden website which incorporates imagery, text, poetry and recorded indigenous folk/roots music. The outdoor installations and the videotaped actions/reactions of the public to these images are connected to each other and viewers via the interactive website and exhibition. =0D=0A=
 Eden images are intended to draw attention to ideas of authenticity and changing concepts of time. Hilary states: “The philosophical foundation of the project is to evoke the histories of small-town America, and, via the website and digital billboards, bring these histories to urban dwellers both in and outside the USA. It is hoped that Eden will encourage viewers to think about their place in time, and see their environment as an historical place, of which the present moment is but one part of an endless accumulation of memory… Eden, is a view from the road of our good intentions.” =0D=0A=
 This project and exhibition has been supported by an Artist-in-Residency grant from the Palm Beach County Cultural Council. =0D=0A=
 The Boca Raton Museum of Art is open Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.; Wednesday 10 a.m. - 9 p.m.; and Saturday and Sunday noon - 5 p.m. Admission for this Special Exhibition is $17 for adults, $15 for senior citizens (65 and older), $12 per person for group tours and $6 for students. =0D=0A=

 CAPTURE, BURN & BLOW UP features photography, photo-based work and video. In keeping with the mission of the Society of Photographic Educators that “seeks to promote a broader understanding of the medium in all its forms, and to foster the development of its practice, teaching, scholarship and criticism,…” some of the artists in this exhibit are teachers while others educate through the story implicit in their images. The group show presents the work of artists Priscilla Ferguson, Gerardo Marulanda, Rolando Dal Pezzo, Alette Simmons-Jimenez, Maria Caridad Perez, Vanessa Monokian, Lourdes Peñaranda, and Hugo Moro. Whether the artist first gazed through the lens to discover his inspiration, or, once inspired, the lens became the tool through which a concept was developed, the assembled collection presents a kaleidoscopic view of richly complex and varied work. In their first collaborative project, The Moore Space and Locust Projects are pleased to present the two-venue exhibition Conditions of Display, curated by Gean Moreno. This exhibition will open to the public at both locations on SATURDAY, APRIL 14, 2007 FROM 7-10PM and will include the following 23 artists: Shahin Afrassiabi, Tobias Buche, Gardar Einar Einarsson, Eugenio Espinoza, Andrea Fraser, Gaylen Gerber, Adler Guerrier, Swetlana Heger, Gareth James, Sergej Jensen, Michael Krebber, Michaela Meise, Paulina Olowska, Elena Pankova, Sean Paul, Kristen Pieroth, Seth Price, Blake Rayne, Michael S. Riedel, Josh Smith, Christopher Williams, Johannes Wohnseifer, and Kevin Zucker. =0D=0A=
 In recent years there has been a renewed interest among younger artists to produce work that rescues some of the critical gestures of past generations. Conditions of Display sets out to showcase and explore the meaning of this refocusing on display strategies, presentational contexts, and the myriad ways in which artworks are framed and distributed. Stemming from the preoccupations of early conceptual artists that first turned toward a rigorous investigation of site, the concerns of these younger artists engage not only the immediate physical locale where the work is exhibited but the systems of distribution and display in which they function. Beyond this, the exhibition will explore how the critical gestures fare in our contemporary socio-cultural situation. =0D=0A=
 The work of five artists that first emerged in the late 1980s and early 1990s-Andrea Fraser, Christopher Williams, Michael Krebber, Eugenio Espinoza and Gaylen Geber-made theirs the tradition of institutional critique and context-specific production. Against these, the work of the younger artists in Conditions of Display will be presented. Relying on different media-from digital videos to banners to paintings-these younger artists have revived certain critical and self-reflexive gestures, renewing an interrogation of site and the systems that frame the art object while remaining keenly aware of the socio-cultural situation in which the function. =0D=0A=
 Along with pre-existing objects, a number of the artists will be producing projects specifically for this exhibition. Gaylen Gerber will participate with a new Backdrop painting made specifically for The Moore Space. Berlin-based artist Tobias Buche will build a new, large-scaled display unit. Shahin Afrassiabi has shot a new video that focuses on educational spaces. Miami-based artists Adler Guerrier and Eugenio Espinoza will both make new work. Guerrier’s will involve, among other things, a psycho-geography of the increasingly-gentrified neighborhood of Wynwood and Espinoza will be rehabilitating part of the installation that he produced for Locust Projects in 2005. Sean Paul and Michael S Riedel are both working on context-specific reactions to the sites in which this exhibition will take place. Gardar Einar Einarsson and Blake Rayne will also be participating with new work. =0D=0A=
 This exhibition runs through the end of June at both locations. The Moore Space is a non-profit art space in the Design District in Miami. Founded in 2001, its mission is to present international contemporary art forms. It will achieve this through an experimental program of cross-disciplinary exhibitions, performances, artists and curators residencies and public programs which reflect the state of contemporary art today: new forms, new voices and new thought. The Moore Space is located at 4040 NE 2nd Avenue, 2nd floor in the Design District. =0D=0A=
 Locust Projects is an alternative, not for profit, Miami based exhibition space dedicated to providing contemporary visual artists the freedom to experiment with new ideas and methods without the pressures of gallery sales or other limitations of conventional exhibition spaces. Artists are encouraged to create site-specific installations as an extension of their representative work; Locust Projects offers them a vibrant Miami experience to develop their ideas and methods. Locust Projects is committed to offering an approachable and inviting venue for the Miami and international art community to experience the work and meet the artist. Locust Projects is located at 105 NW 23rd Street in Wynwood. =0D=0A=
 Antikulture Gallery & Boutique Announces Grand Opening with LoCastro’s “PSYCHE” Exhibition. =0D=0A=
 Antikulture Gallery & Boutique opens its doors to the public with “PSYCHE” a special exhibition curated by local lowbrow pioneer Francesco LoCastro who was behind the Art Center/ South Florida’s "We'll Make a Lover of You" exhibition during Art Basel, Miami Beach. =0D=0A=
 =0D=0A=
 The “PSYCHE” exhibtition runs from April 14, 2007 to May 19, 2007. The opening reception is slated for Saturday, April 14, 2007 from 7:00 to 11:00 p.m. during the Wynwood Arts District Gallery Walk. The event is free and open to the public.=0D=0A=

 For the first time, pieces from LoCastro’s private art collection will be on view, as well as new, original paintings and drawings by the artist, available for purchase. LoCastro’s collection and work focuses on the avant-garde lowbrow/ pop surrealist movement, which has been the passion and advocacy of the artist and independent curator for the last ten years. Over 50 works by some of the movement’s biggest names will be on display and several of them will be released for sale.=0D=0A=
 =0D=0A=
 The “PSYCHE” exhibition marks LoCastro’s decade-long journey from local artist to a recognized figure of the worldwide art phenomenon. “South Florida’s undisputed King of Lowbrow” (Flavorpill.com) takes a break from his national exhibition schedule to give Miami an intimate glimpse at the work that inspired him and the movement that catapulted LoCastro to be “a permanent force to be reckoned with” (Juxtapoz Magazine).=0D=0A=
 =0D=0A=
 LoCastro adds: “Antikulture Magazine and Gallery are vital in bringing a new and exciting perspective on art to the forefront of Miami’s slowly flourishing cultural scene. It’s the reason why I chose to work with the Antikulture team on this very personal project of mine; and I am confident that their positive attitude and professionalism will be embraced by the local art community that is ready for a new approach and fresh point of view.”Chicano Visions=0D=0A=
 American Painters on the Verge=0D=0A=
 Now through May 1=0D=0A=
 Seventy-seven works by 26 Chicano artists, drawn mostly from the collection of Cheech Marin, who in less than two decades has built one of the largest collections of Chicano art in the world. "The Chicano School of Painting has always been about re-interpreting a culture," says Marin. "That culture has been shown to be diverse, yet unified, profane and spiritual, traditional and avant-garde. Where other 'schools' of painting have been defined overwhelmingly by stylistic concerns, the Chicano School combines stylistic innovation, blends traditional Mexican popular and religious iconography with modern images of urban angst, and reflects the continually evolving role of Mexican Americans or Chicanos within a larger 'American' society." =0D=0A=

 Hot off its extended, boffo Lincoln Center Theater run, The Clean House is smart, contemporary, alluring, funny, and as Charles Isherwood in The New York Times said, a play that is “romantic, deeply so … visionary, tinged with fantasy, extravagant in feeling, maybe a little nuts.” Written by “a provocative new theatrical voice,” here’s a story about a successful couple, their Portuguese maid who hates to clean, the wife’s sister who lives to clean, the affairs, jokes, and perfect punch line.

 BIOGRAPHY=0D=0A=
 Gérard Vachez was born in France in 1961.=0D=0A=
 His strong desire to study arts led him to a degree in Fine Arts & Graphic Design at Sorbonne in 1984. Shortly after graduation Gérard was hired by the French government to organize Bujumbura’s Cultural Center in Burundi (Central Africa). Africa greatly inspired the young artist who started to take photographs.=0D=0A=
 Gathering his most beautiful black & white pieces he held his first exhibition in Burundi, Rwanda and Zaïre. In 1986 Gérard returned to France, to settle in Paris.=0D=0A=
 After working as an art director for various advertising agencies, he opened his own art studio, the well-renowned “Vue du Pont”. The studio was successful and its clientele increasingly prestigious. It was time for Gérard to hold his first Parisian photography exhibition. The show, held at the Bip gallery, was a hit. He had two more shows in Paris before leaving France.=0D=0A=
 In 1995, Gérard opened another branch of “Vue du Pont” in the West Indies. His reputation quickly spread throughout the Caribbean and the American market and soon he would meet a person who eventually changed his career.=0D=0A=
 In 1998, Michael Capponi, Miami’s famous nightlife promoter, was introduced to Gérard while visiting Guadeloupe. Michael was enthralled by Gérard’s creativity and a deep friendship rapidly formed. He was the catalyst of Gérard’s move to the USA.=0D=0A=
 Through him, Gérard met the prestigious nightlife entrepreneur Chris Paciello and became art director and head of advertising for CP Ventures.=0D=0A=
 A year later Gérard started his own company, Xposure Advertising, an international enterprise with a client list including companies based in the USA, Europe and the Caribbean.=0D=0A=
 Art being Gerard’s main interest, he never ceased holding exhibitions along his career.=0D=0A=
 BODIES reflects the creativity of blending painting and photography.=0D=0A=
 I have always been inspired by bodies in motion and wanted movement to transpire in my pictures. With this intent I used a large tampered glass panel on which I mixed paints and lights while a model moved behind it. The light coming through the colors created a new atmosphere while the model’s moving body was constantly altered by the colored wall of glass. It also took her in and out of focus, accentuating the painting effect.=0D=0A=
 The results were almost unsettling. Where did the photo end and the painting begin?=0D=0A=
 PAINTINGS=0D=0A=
 These paintings were designed to be screened during a special event organized by the University of Sorbonne in Paris. Instead of photographing painted canvases, I chose to create the whole thing on a slide in order to be more of an innovator and cast a more interesting approach to the project.=0D=0A=
 So, I used clear Rodoid Plastic and then mixed a lot of different materials and medias on it.=0D=0A=
 After my first tests with some Ecolines, I began to tamper with the media: scratching it, cutting and gluing it back together to create several layers. For this purpose, I used different types of glue, each reacting differently to the heat of the slide projector. For example, when left long enough inside the machine, some slides would begin to crack slowly, resembling old varnished painting.=0D=0A=
 As for the colors, aside the Ecolines, I also used oil-based paint, Indian ink, acrylics... All mixed with cotton or fabric pieces, raw fibers, I even set some creations on fire to alter them.=0D=0A=
 Most of these slides were painted inside their little frames, others were painted on a larger support, then cut later on.=0D=0A=

 NINE PARTS OF DESIRE (SOUTHEASTERN US PREMIERE)=0D=0A=

 Tyranny and war both come with extreme costs, and we often forget who pays.  From the outside looking in, it's easy to view a nation's population as some formless group, joined by a shared religion or language.  =0D=0A=
  =0D=0A=
 Writer/Performer Heather Raffo spent 11 years conducting dozens of interviews on and over four continents with Iraqi women.  Her resulting "theatrical mosaic" depicts the realities of life in Iraq both under Saddam Hussein and since his ouster for several of these unique women, whose individuals worlds have been frayed and fractured, sometimes beyond repair, by their country's history.  =0D=0A=
  =0D=0A=
 Nine Parts of Desire was inspired by Raffo's trip to the Saddam Art Center in Baghdad in 1993 where she saw only billboard-size portraits of Saddam Hussein. However, in a back room she discovered a painting of a nude woman clinging to a barren tree with her head bowed. There was a light in front of her, like a sun. Raffo took a photo of the painting in hopes of finding the artist, only to discover she had been killed during an American-led bombing raid in Baghdad earlier that year.=0D=0A=

 Enter Dorian Gray, a smolderingly perfect 18 year-old beauty with a mysterious past. When a bad-boy artist named Basil spots Dorian on the scene, he is instantly smitten (who wouldn’t be?), launches a bold seduction, and makes his conquest the star of a video installation that takes the city by storm: the eponymous picture of Dorian Gray. But for Dorian, the video sparks an allconsuming vanity, a fear of growing old and ugly, and ultimately, a bargain with the devil.=0D=0A=

 In this sumptuous and groundbreaking romantic epic, forbidden love blossoms on a lush jungle island in modern China. It’s a place of haunting beauty and centuries-old customs, at once a liberating Eden and a repressive backwater. With tender lyricism, director Dai Sijie captures the emotion of this taboo love affair with precious few words and a treasure-trove of intoxicating images: an illicit sexual rendezvous on a mossy jungle bridge; a nude encounter in a steam-bath of hallucinatory herbs.=0D=0A=

 Boca Raton Museum of Art's Next Exhibition: Jeanne Hillary: Eden. A New Media Project February 28 through June 3, 2007 =0D=0A=
 The Boca Raton Museum of Art is pleased to announce the February 28th opening of Jeanne Hilary: Eden. A New Media Project, which will be on display through June 3, 2007. =0D=0A=
 JEANNE HILARY: EDEN. A NEW MEDIA PROJECT =0D=0A=
 Documentary photography presents the possibility of understanding. Paris-based American photographer Jeanne Hilary's Eden communicates a visionary “portrait of America” through photographic landscapes and portraits of everyday small towns across the country. =0D=0A=
 This exhibition of enigmatic large-format photographs and video is one component of an ambitious project which includes site-specific installations of the images on commercial outdoor billboards, electronic digital billboards and an interactive Eden website which incorporates imagery, text, poetry and recorded indigenous folk/roots music. The outdoor installations and the videotaped actions/reactions of the public to these images are connected to each other and viewers via the interactive website and exhibition. =0D=0A=
 Eden images are intended to draw attention to ideas of authenticity and changing concepts of time. Hilary states: “The philosophical foundation of the project is to evoke the histories of small-town America, and, via the website and digital billboards, bring these histories to urban dwellers both in and outside the USA. It is hoped that Eden will encourage viewers to think about their place in time, and see their environment as an historical place, of which the present moment is but one part of an endless accumulation of memory… Eden, is a view from the road of our good intentions.” =0D=0A=
 This project and exhibition has been supported by an Artist-in-Residency grant from the Palm Beach County Cultural Council. =0D=0A=
 The Boca Raton Museum of Art is open Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.; Wednesday 10 a.m. - 9 p.m.; and Saturday and Sunday noon - 5 p.m. Admission for this Special Exhibition is $17 for adults, $15 for senior citizens (65 and older), $12 per person for group tours and $6 for students. =0D=0A=

 NINE PARTS OF DESIRE (SOUTHEASTERN US PREMIERE)=0D=0A=

 Tyranny and war both come with extreme costs, and we often forget who pays.  From the outside looking in, it's easy to view a nation's population as some formless group, joined by a shared religion or language.  =0D=0A=
  =0D=0A=
 Writer/Performer Heather Raffo spent 11 years conducting dozens of interviews on and over four continents with Iraqi women.  Her resulting "theatrical mosaic" depicts the realities of life in Iraq both under Saddam Hussein and since his ouster for several of these unique women, whose individuals worlds have been frayed and fractured, sometimes beyond repair, by their country's history.  =0D=0A=
  =0D=0A=
 Nine Parts of Desire was inspired by Raffo's trip to the Saddam Art Center in Baghdad in 1993 where she saw only billboard-size portraits of Saddam Hussein. However, in a back room she discovered a painting of a nude woman clinging to a barren tree with her head bowed. There was a light in front of her, like a sun. Raffo took a photo of the painting in hopes of finding the artist, only to discover she had been killed during an American-led bombing raid in Baghdad earlier that year.=0D=0A=

 Enter Dorian Gray, a smolderingly perfect 18 year-old beauty with a mysterious past. When a bad-boy artist named Basil spots Dorian on the scene, he is instantly smitten (who wouldn’t be?), launches a bold seduction, and makes his conquest the star of a video installation that takes the city by storm: the eponymous picture of Dorian Gray. But for Dorian, the video sparks an allconsuming vanity, a fear of growing old and ugly, and ultimately, a bargain with the devil.=0D=0A=

 In this sumptuous and groundbreaking romantic epic, forbidden love blossoms on a lush jungle island in modern China. It’s a place of haunting beauty and centuries-old customs, at once a liberating Eden and a repressive backwater. With tender lyricism, director Dai Sijie captures the emotion of this taboo love affair with precious few words and a treasure-trove of intoxicating images: an illicit sexual rendezvous on a mossy jungle bridge; a nude encounter in a steam-bath of hallucinatory herbs.=0D=0A=

 Boca Raton Museum of Art's Next Exhibition: Jeanne Hillary: Eden. A New Media Project February 28 through June 3, 2007 =0D=0A=
 The Boca Raton Museum of Art is pleased to announce the February 28th opening of Jeanne Hilary: Eden. A New Media Project, which will be on display through June 3, 2007. =0D=0A=
 JEANNE HILARY: EDEN. A NEW MEDIA PROJECT =0D=0A=
 Documentary photography presents the possibility of understanding. Paris-based American photographer Jeanne Hilary's Eden communicates a visionary “portrait of America” through photographic landscapes and portraits of everyday small towns across the country. =0D=0A=
 This exhibition of enigmatic large-format photographs and video is one component of an ambitious project which includes site-specific installations of the images on commercial outdoor billboards, electronic digital billboards and an interactive Eden website which incorporates imagery, text, poetry and recorded indigenous folk/roots music. The outdoor installations and the videotaped actions/reactions of the public to these images are connected to each other and viewers via the interactive website and exhibition. =0D=0A=
 Eden images are intended to draw attention to ideas of authenticity and changing concepts of time. Hilary states: “The philosophical foundation of the project is to evoke the histories of small-town America, and, via the website and digital billboards, bring these histories to urban dwellers both in and outside the USA. It is hoped that Eden will encourage viewers to think about their place in time, and see their environment as an historical place, of which the present moment is but one part of an endless accumulation of memory… Eden, is a view from the road of our good intentions.” =0D=0A=
 This project and exhibition has been supported by an Artist-in-Residency grant from the Palm Beach County Cultural Council. =0D=0A=
 The Boca Raton Museum of Art is open Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.; Wednesday 10 a.m. - 9 p.m.; and Saturday and Sunday noon - 5 p.m. Admission for this Special Exhibition is $17 for adults, $15 for senior citizens (65 and older), $12 per person for group tours and $6 for students. =0D=0A=

 CAPTURE, BURN & BLOW UP features photography, photo-based work and video. In keeping with the mission of the Society of Photographic Educators that “seeks to promote a broader understanding of the medium in all its forms, and to foster the development of its practice, teaching, scholarship and criticism,…” some of the artists in this exhibit are teachers while others educate through the story implicit in their images. The group show presents the work of artists Priscilla Ferguson, Gerardo Marulanda, Rolando Dal Pezzo, Alette Simmons-Jimenez, Maria Caridad Perez, Vanessa Monokian, Lourdes Peñaranda, and Hugo Moro. Whether the artist first gazed through the lens to discover his inspiration, or, once inspired, the lens became the tool through which a concept was developed, the assembled collection presents a kaleidoscopic view of richly complex and varied work. In their first collaborative project, The Moore Space and Locust Projects are pleased to present the two-venue exhibition Conditions of Display, curated by Gean Moreno. This exhibition will open to the public at both locations on SATURDAY, APRIL 14, 2007 FROM 7-10PM and will include the following 23 artists: Shahin Afrassiabi, Tobias Buche, Gardar Einar Einarsson, Eugenio Espinoza, Andrea Fraser, Gaylen Gerber, Adler Guerrier, Swetlana Heger, Gareth James, Sergej Jensen, Michael Krebber, Michaela Meise, Paulina Olowska, Elena Pankova, Sean Paul, Kristen Pieroth, Seth Price, Blake Rayne, Michael S. Riedel, Josh Smith, Christopher Williams, Johannes Wohnseifer, and Kevin Zucker. =0D=0A=
 In recent years there has been a renewed interest among younger artists to produce work that rescues some of the critical gestures of past generations. Conditions of Display sets out to showcase and explore the meaning of this refocusing on display strategies, presentational contexts, and the myriad ways in which artworks are framed and distributed. Stemming from the preoccupations of early conceptual artists that first turned toward a rigorous investigation of site, the concerns of these younger artists engage not only the immediate physical locale where the work is exhibited but the systems of distribution and display in which they function. Beyond this, the exhibition will explore how the critical gestures fare in our contemporary socio-cultural situation. =0D=0A=
 The work of five artists that first emerged in the late 1980s and early 1990s-Andrea Fraser, Christopher Williams, Michael Krebber, Eugenio Espinoza and Gaylen Geber-made theirs the tradition of institutional critique and context-specific production. Against these, the work of the younger artists in Conditions of Display will be presented. Relying on different media-from digital videos to banners to paintings-these younger artists have revived certain critical and self-reflexive gestures, renewing an interrogation of site and the systems that frame the art object while remaining keenly aware of the socio-cultural situation in which the function. =0D=0A=
 Along with pre-existing objects, a number of the artists will be producing projects specifically for this exhibition. Gaylen Gerber will participate with a new Backdrop painting made specifically for The Moore Space. Berlin-based artist Tobias Buche will build a new, large-scaled display unit. Shahin Afrassiabi has shot a new video that focuses on educational spaces. Miami-based artists Adler Guerrier and Eugenio Espinoza will both make new work. Guerrier’s will involve, among other things, a psycho-geography of the increasingly-gentrified neighborhood of Wynwood and Espinoza will be rehabilitating part of the installation that he produced for Locust Projects in 2005. Sean Paul and Michael S Riedel are both working on context-specific reactions to the sites in which this exhibition will take place. Gardar Einar Einarsson and Blake Rayne will also be participating with new work. =0D=0A=
 This exhibition runs through the end of June at both locations. The Moore Space is a non-profit art space in the Design District in Miami. Founded in 2001, its mission is to present international contemporary art forms. It will achieve this through an experimental program of cross-disciplinary exhibitions, performances, artists and curators residencies and public programs which reflect the state of contemporary art today: new forms, new voices and new thought. The Moore Space is located at 4040 NE 2nd Avenue, 2nd floor in the Design District. =0D=0A=
 Locust Projects is an alternative, not for profit, Miami based exhibition space dedicated to providing contemporary visual artists the freedom to experiment with new ideas and methods without the pressures of gallery sales or other limitations of conventional exhibition spaces. Artists are encouraged to create site-specific installations as an extension of their representative work; Locust Projects offers them a vibrant Miami experience to develop their ideas and methods. Locust Projects is committed to offering an approachable and inviting venue for the Miami and international art community to experience the work and meet the artist. Locust Projects is located at 105 NW 23rd Street in Wynwood. =0D=0A=
 Antikulture Gallery & Boutique Announces Grand Opening with LoCastro’s “PSYCHE” Exhibition. =0D=0A=
 Antikulture Gallery & Boutique opens its doors to the public with “PSYCHE” a special exhibition curated by local lowbrow pioneer Francesco LoCastro who was behind the Art Center/ South Florida’s "We'll Make a Lover of You" exhibition during Art Basel, Miami Beach. =0D=0A=
 =0D=0A=
 The “PSYCHE” exhibtition runs from April 14, 2007 to May 19, 2007. The opening reception is slated for Saturday, April 14, 2007 from 7:00 to 11:00 p.m. during the Wynwood Arts District Gallery Walk. The event is free and open to the public.=0D=0A=

 For the first time, pieces from LoCastro’s private art collection will be on view, as well as new, original paintings and drawings by the artist, available for purchase. LoCastro’s collection and work focuses on the avant-garde lowbrow/ pop surrealist movement, which has been the passion and advocacy of the artist and independent curator for the last ten years. Over 50 works by some of the movement’s biggest names will be on display and several of them will be released for sale.=0D=0A=
 =0D=0A=
 The “PSYCHE” exhibition marks LoCastro’s decade-long journey from local artist to a recognized figure of the worldwide art phenomenon. “South Florida’s undisputed King of Lowbrow” (Flavorpill.com) takes a break from his national exhibition schedule to give Miami an intimate glimpse at the work that inspired him and the movement that catapulted LoCastro to be “a permanent force to be reckoned with” (Juxtapoz Magazine).=0D=0A=
 =0D=0A=
 LoCastro adds: “Antikulture Magazine and Gallery are vital in bringing a new and exciting perspective on art to the forefront of Miami’s slowly flourishing cultural scene. It’s the reason why I chose to work with the Antikulture team on this very personal project of mine; and I am confident that their positive attitude and professionalism will be embraced by the local art community that is ready for a new approach and fresh point of view.”Chicano Visions=0D=0A=
 American Painters on the Verge=0D=0A=
 Now through May 1=0D=0A=
 Seventy-seven works by 26 Chicano artists, drawn mostly from the collection of Cheech Marin, who in less than two decades has built one of the largest collections of Chicano art in the world. "The Chicano School of Painting has always been about re-interpreting a culture," says Marin. "That culture has been shown to be diverse, yet unified, profane and spiritual, traditional and avant-garde. Where other 'schools' of painting have been defined overwhelmingly by stylistic concerns, the Chicano School combines stylistic innovation, blends traditional Mexican popular and religious iconography with modern images of urban angst, and reflects the continually evolving role of Mexican Americans or Chicanos within a larger 'American' society." =0D=0A=

 BIOGRAPHY=0D=0A=
 Gérard Vachez was born in France in 1961.=0D=0A=
 His strong desire to study arts led him to a degree in Fine Arts & Graphic Design at Sorbonne in 1984. Shortly after graduation Gérard was hired by the French government to organize Bujumbura’s Cultural Center in Burundi (Central Africa). Africa greatly inspired the young artist who started to take photographs.=0D=0A=
 Gathering his most beautiful black & white pieces he held his first exhibition in Burundi, Rwanda and Zaïre. In 1986 Gérard returned to France, to settle in Paris.=0D=0A=
 After working as an art director for various advertising agencies, he opened his own art studio, the well-renowned “Vue du Pont”. The studio was successful and its clientele increasingly prestigious. It was time for Gérard to hold his first Parisian photography exhibition. The show, held at the Bip gallery, was a hit. He had two more shows in Paris before leaving France.=0D=0A=
 In 1995, Gérard opened another branch of “Vue du Pont” in the West Indies. His reputation quickly spread throughout the Caribbean and the American market and soon he would meet a person who eventually changed his career.=0D=0A=
 In 1998, Michael Capponi, Miami’s famous nightlife promoter, was introduced to Gérard while visiting Guadeloupe. Michael was enthralled by Gérard’s creativity and a deep friendship rapidly formed. He was the catalyst of Gérard’s move to the USA.=0D=0A=
 Through him, Gérard met the prestigious nightlife entrepreneur Chris Paciello and became art director and head of advertising for CP Ventures.=0D=0A=
 A year later Gérard started his own company, Xposure Advertising, an international enterprise with a client list including companies based in the USA, Europe and the Caribbean.=0D=0A=
 Art being Gerard’s main interest, he never ceased holding exhibitions along his career.=0D=0A=
 BODIES reflects the creativity of blending painting and photography.=0D=0A=
 I have always been inspired by bodies in motion and wanted movement to transpire in my pictures. With this intent I used a large tampered glass panel on which I mixed paints and lights while a model moved behind it. The light coming through the colors created a new atmosphere while the model’s moving body was constantly altered by the colored wall of glass. It also took her in and out of focus, accentuating the painting effect.=0D=0A=
 The results were almost unsettling. Where did the photo end and the painting begin?=0D=0A=
 PAINTINGS=0D=0A=
 These paintings were designed to be screened during a special event organized by the University of Sorbonne in Paris. Instead of photographing painted canvases, I chose to create the whole thing on a slide in order to be more of an innovator and cast a more interesting approach to the project.=0D=0A=
 So, I used clear Rodoid Plastic and then mixed a lot of different materials and medias on it.=0D=0A=
 After my first tests with some Ecolines, I began to tamper with the media: scratching it, cutting and gluing it back together to create several layers. For this purpose, I used different types of glue, each reacting differently to the heat of the slide projector. For example, when left long enough inside the machine, some slides would begin to crack slowly, resembling old varnished painting.=0D=0A=
 As for the colors, aside the Ecolines, I also used oil-based paint, Indian ink, acrylics... All mixed with cotton or fabric pieces, raw fibers, I even set some creations on fire to alter them.=0D=0A=
 Most of these slides were painted inside their little frames, others were painted on a larger support, then cut later on.=0D=0A=
 Third All-Media Juried Biennial Exhibition Opens on April 6=0D=0A=
 The Art and Culture Center of Hollywood’s Third All-Media Juried Biennial Exhibition will open at the Center’s galleries on Friday, April 6 and run through Sunday, May 20.

 These entries were selected from more than 600 works submitted by 211 Florida-based artists. From this pool, the best 37 artists were chosen by this year’s juror Claire Breukel, executive director of Locust Projects located in Miami, then narrowed down to these six award-winners:=0D=0A=
 · Best in Show ($2,000 prize): Robert C. Flynn, Garland=0D=0A=
 · First Place ($1,000 prize): Brad Kuhl and Monique Leyton, One Bourbon, One Scotch, and One Beer=0D=0A=

 · Third Place ($400 prize): Tom Scicluna, X=0D=0A=
 · Honorable Mention: Diane Arrieta, Neighbors=0D=0A=

  =0D=0A=
 Writer/Performer Heather Raffo spent 11 years conducting dozens of interviews on and over four continents with Iraqi women.  Her resulting "theatrical mosaic" depicts the realities of life in Iraq both under Saddam Hussein and since his ouster for several of these unique women, whose individuals worlds have been frayed and fractured, sometimes beyond repair, by their country's history.  =0D=0A=
  =0D=0A=
 Nine Parts of Desire was inspired by Raffo's trip to the Saddam Art Center in Baghdad in 1993 where she saw only billboard-size portraits of Saddam Hussein. However, in a back room she discovered a painting of a nude woman clinging to a barren tree with her head bowed. There was a light in front of her, like a sun. Raffo took a photo of the painting in hopes of finding the artist, only to discover she had been killed during an American-led bombing raid in Baghdad earlier that year.=0D=0A=

 Enter Dorian Gray, a smolderingly perfect 18 year-old beauty with a mysterious past. When a bad-boy artist named Basil spots Dorian on the scene, he is instantly smitten (who wouldn’t be?), launches a bold seduction, and makes his conquest the star of a video installation that takes the city by storm: the eponymous picture of Dorian Gray. But for Dorian, the video sparks an allconsuming vanity, a fear of growing old and ugly, and ultimately, a bargain with the devil.=0D=0A=

 In this sumptuous and groundbreaking romantic epic, forbidden love blossoms on a lush jungle island in modern China. It’s a place of haunting beauty and centuries-old customs, at once a liberating Eden and a repressive backwater. With tender lyricism, director Dai Sijie captures the emotion of this taboo love affair with precious few words and a treasure-trove of intoxicating images: an illicit sexual rendezvous on a mossy jungle bridge; a nude encounter in a steam-bath of hallucinatory herbs.=0D=0A=

 JEANNE HILARY: EDEN. A NEW MEDIA PROJECT =0D=0A=
 Documentary photography presents the possibility of understanding. Paris-based American photographer Jeanne Hilary's Eden communicates a visionary “portrait of America” through photographic landscapes and portraits of everyday small towns across the country. =0D=0A=
 This exhibition of enigmatic large-format photographs and video is one component of an ambitious project which includes site-specific installations of the images on commercial outdoor billboards, electronic digital billboards and an interactive Eden website which incorporates imagery, text, poetry and recorded indigenous folk/roots music. The outdoor installations and the videotaped actions/reactions of the public to these images are connected to each other and viewers via the interactive website and exhibition. =0D=0A=
 Eden images are intended to draw attention to ideas of authenticity and changing concepts of time. Hilary states: “The philosophical foundation of the project is to evoke the histories of small-town America, and, via the website and digital billboards, bring these histories to urban dwellers both in and outside the USA. It is hoped that Eden will encourage viewers to think about their place in time, and see their environment as an historical place, of which the present moment is but one part of an endless accumulation of memory… Eden, is a view from the road of our good intentions.” =0D=0A=
 This project and exhibition has been supported by an Artist-in-Residency grant from the Palm Beach County Cultural Council. =0D=0A=
 The Boca Raton Museum of Art is open Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.; Wednesday 10 a.m. - 9 p.m.; and Saturday and Sunday noon - 5 p.m. Admission for this Special Exhibition is $17 for adults, $15 for senior citizens (65 and older), $12 per person for group tours and $6 for students. =0D=0A=

 CAPTURE, BURN & BLOW UP features photography, photo-based work and video. In keeping with the mission of the Society of Photographic Educators that “seeks to promote a broader understanding of the medium in all its forms, and to foster the development of its practice, teaching, scholarship and criticism,…” some of the artists in this exhibit are teachers while others educate through the story implicit in their images. The group show presents the work of artists Priscilla Ferguson, Gerardo Marulanda, Rolando Dal Pezzo, Alette Simmons-Jimenez, Maria Caridad Perez, Vanessa Monokian, Lourdes Peñaranda, and Hugo Moro. Whether the artist first gazed through the lens to discover his inspiration, or, once inspired, the lens became the tool through which a concept was developed, the assembled collection presents a kaleidoscopic view of richly complex and varied work. In their first collaborative project, The Moore Space and Locust Projects are pleased to present the two-venue exhibition Conditions of Display, curated by Gean Moreno. This exhibition will open to the public at both locations on SATURDAY, APRIL 14, 2007 FROM 7-10PM and will include the following 23 artists: Shahin Afrassiabi, Tobias Buche, Gardar Einar Einarsson, Eugenio Espinoza, Andrea Fraser, Gaylen Gerber, Adler Guerrier, Swetlana Heger, Gareth James, Sergej Jensen, Michael Krebber, Michaela Meise, Paulina Olowska, Elena Pankova, Sean Paul, Kristen Pieroth, Seth Price, Blake Rayne, Michael S. Riedel, Josh Smith, Christopher Williams, Johannes Wohnseifer, and Kevin Zucker. =0D=0A=
 In recent years there has been a renewed interest among younger artists to produce work that rescues some of the critical gestures of past generations. Conditions of Display sets out to showcase and explore the meaning of this refocusing on display strategies, presentational contexts, and the myriad ways in which artworks are framed and distributed. Stemming from the preoccupations of early conceptual artists that first turned toward a rigorous investigation of site, the concerns of these younger artists engage not only the immediate physical locale where the work is exhibited but the systems of distribution and display in which they function. Beyond this, the exhibition will explore how the critical gestures fare in our contemporary socio-cultural situation. =0D=0A=
 The work of five artists that first emerged in the late 1980s and early 1990s-Andrea Fraser, Christopher Williams, Michael Krebber, Eugenio Espinoza and Gaylen Geber-made theirs the tradition of institutional critique and context-specific production. Against these, the work of the younger artists in Conditions of Display will be presented. Relying on different media-from digital videos to banners to paintings-these younger artists have revived certain critical and self-reflexive gestures, renewing an interrogation of site and the systems that frame the art object while remaining keenly aware of the socio-cultural situation in which the function. =0D=0A=
 Along with pre-existing objects, a number of the artists will be producing projects specifically for this exhibition. Gaylen Gerber will participate with a new Backdrop painting made specifically for The Moore Space. Berlin-based artist Tobias Buche will build a new, large-scaled display unit. Shahin Afrassiabi has shot a new video that focuses on educational spaces. Miami-based artists Adler Guerrier and Eugenio Espinoza will both make new work. Guerrier’s will involve, among other things, a psycho-geography of the increasingly-gentrified neighborhood of Wynwood and Espinoza will be rehabilitating part of the installation that he produced for Locust Projects in 2005. Sean Paul and Michael S Riedel are both working on context-specific reactions to the sites in which this exhibition will take place. Gardar Einar Einarsson and Blake Rayne will also be participating with new work. =0D=0A=
 This exhibition runs through the end of June at both locations. The Moore Space is a non-profit art space in the Design District in Miami. Founded in 2001, its mission is to present international contemporary art forms. It will achieve this through an experimental program of cross-disciplinary exhibitions, performances, artists and curators residencies and public programs which reflect the state of contemporary art today: new forms, new voices and new thought. The Moore Space is located at 4040 NE 2nd Avenue, 2nd floor in the Design District. =0D=0A=
 Locust Projects is an alternative, not for profit, Miami based exhibition space dedicated to providing contemporary visual artists the freedom to experiment with new ideas and methods without the pressures of gallery sales or other limitations of conventional exhibition spaces. Artists are encouraged to create site-specific installations as an extension of their representative work; Locust Projects offers them a vibrant Miami experience to develop their ideas and methods. Locust Projects is committed to offering an approachable and inviting venue for the Miami and international art community to experience the work and meet the artist. Locust Projects is located at 105 NW 23rd Street in Wynwood. =0D=0A=
 Antikulture Gallery & Boutique Announces Grand Opening with LoCastro’s “PSYCHE” Exhibition. =0D=0A=
 Antikulture Gallery & Boutique opens its doors to the public with “PSYCHE” a special exhibition curated by local lowbrow pioneer Francesco LoCastro who was behind the Art Center/ South Florida’s "We'll Make a Lover of You" exhibition during Art Basel, Miami Beach. =0D=0A=
 =0D=0A=
 The “PSYCHE” exhibtition runs from April 14, 2007 to May 19, 2007. The opening reception is slated for Saturday, April 14, 2007 from 7:00 to 11:00 p.m. during the Wynwood Arts District Gallery Walk. The event is free and open to the public.=0D=0A=

 =0D=0A=
 For the first time, pieces from LoCastro’s private art collection will be on view, as well as new, original paintings and drawings by the artist, available for purchase. LoCastro’s collection and work focuses on the avant-garde lowbrow/ pop surrealist movement, which has been the passion and advocacy of the artist and independent curator for the last ten years. Over 50 works by some of the movement’s biggest names will be on display and several of them will be released for sale.=0D=0A=
 =0D=0A=
 The “PSYCHE” exhibition marks LoCastro’s decade-long journey from local artist to a recognized figure of the worldwide art phenomenon. “South Florida’s undisputed King of Lowbrow” (Flavorpill.com) takes a break from his national exhibition schedule to give Miami an intimate glimpse at the work that inspired him and the movement that catapulted LoCastro to be “a permanent force to be reckoned with” (Juxtapoz Magazine).=0D=0A=
 =0D=0A=
 LoCastro adds: “Antikulture Magazine and Gallery are vital in bringing a new and exciting perspective on art to the forefront of Miami’s slowly flourishing cultural scene. It’s the reason why I chose to work with the Antikulture team on this very personal project of mine; and I am confident that their positive attitude and professionalism will be embraced by the local art community that is ready for a new approach and fresh point of view.”Chicano Visions=0D=0A=
 American Painters on the Verge=0D=0A=
 Now through May 1=0D=0A=
 Seventy-seven works by 26 Chicano artists, drawn mostly from the collection of Cheech Marin, who in less than two decades has built one of the largest collections of Chicano art in the world. "The Chicano School of Painting has always been about re-interpreting a culture," says Marin. "That culture has been shown to be diverse, yet unified, profane and spiritual, traditional and avant-garde. Where other 'schools' of painting have been defined overwhelmingly by stylistic concerns, the Chicano School combines stylistic innovation, blends traditional Mexican popular and religious iconography with modern images of urban angst, and reflects the continually evolving role of Mexican Americans or Chicanos within a larger 'American' society." =0D=0A=

 CALDWELL THEATRE COMPANY Presents The Florida Premiere of THE CLEAN HOUSE=0D=0A=
 Straight From Its Successful New York Run=0D=0A=
 Caldwell Theatre Company has just snagged the rights to the Florida Premiere of Sarah Ruhl’s critically acclaimed The Clean House, which just ended its extended run at New York’s Lincoln Center Theater.

 The Clean House will replace Cowgirls, which is postponed due to illness in the families of several of its key cast members. One of the best new plays in recent history, The Clean House won the distinguished 2004 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize. It is smart. It is alluring. It is fall down funny. And it is provocative.=0D=0A=

 The Clean House=0D=0A=
 April 8, 2007 - May 20, 2007=0D=0A=
 Comedy By Sarah Ruhl=0D=0A=
 Hot off its extended, boffo Lincoln Center Theater run, The Clean House is smart, contemporary, alluring, funny, and as Charles Isherwood in The New York Times said, a play that is “romantic, deeply so … visionary, tinged with fantasy, extravagant in feeling, maybe a little nuts.” Written by “a provocative new theatrical voice,” here’s a story about a successful couple, their Portuguese maid who hates to clean, the wife’s sister who lives to clean, the affairs, jokes, and perfect punch line. You’ll fall down laughing and fall in love with Ruhl’s affaire de coeur. =0D=0A=

 BIOGRAPHY=0D=0A=
 Gérard Vachez was born in France in 1961.=0D=0A=
 His strong desire to study arts led him to a degree in Fine Arts & Graphic Design at Sorbonne in 1984. Shortly after graduation Gérard was hired by the French government to organize Bujumbura’s Cultural Center in Burundi (Central Africa). Africa greatly inspired the young artist who started to take photographs.=0D=0A=
 Gathering his most beautiful black & white pieces he held his first exhibition in Burundi, Rwanda and Zaïre. In 1986 Gérard returned to France, to settle in Paris.=0D=0A=
 After working as an art director for various advertising agencies, he opened his own art studio, the well-renowned “Vue du Pont”. The studio was successful and its clientele increasingly prestigious. It was time for Gérard to hold his first Parisian photography exhibition. The show, held at the Bip gallery, was a hit. He had two more shows in Paris before leaving France.=0D=0A=
 In 1995, Gérard opened another branch of “Vue du Pont” in the West Indies. His reputation quickly spread throughout the Caribbean and the American market and soon he would meet a person who eventually changed his career.=0D=0A=
 In 1998, Michael Capponi, Miami’s famous nightlife promoter, was introduced to Gérard while visiting Guadeloupe. Michael was enthralled by Gérard’s creativity and a deep friendship rapidly formed. He was the catalyst of Gérard’s move to the USA.=0D=0A=
 Through him, Gérard met the prestigious nightlife entrepreneur Chris Paciello and became art director and head of advertising for CP Ventures.=0D=0A=
 A year later Gérard started his own company, Xposure Advertising, an international enterprise with a client list including companies based in the USA, Europe and the Caribbean.=0D=0A=
 Art being Gerard’s main interest, he never ceased holding exhibitions along his career.=0D=0A=
 BODIES reflects the creativity of blending painting and photography.=0D=0A=
 I have always been inspired by bodies in motion and wanted movement to transpire in my pictures. With this intent I used a large tampered glass panel on which I mixed paints and lights while a model moved behind it. The light coming through the colors created a new atmosphere while the model’s moving body was constantly altered by the colored wall of glass. It also took her in and out of focus, accentuating the painting effect.=0D=0A=
 The results were almost unsettling. Where did the photo end and the painting begin?=0D=0A=
 PAINTINGS=0D=0A=
 These paintings were designed to be screened during a special event organized by the University of Sorbonne in Paris. Instead of photographing painted canvases, I chose to create the whole thing on a slide in order to be more of an innovator and cast a more interesting approach to the project.=0D=0A=
 So, I used clear Rodoid Plastic and then mixed a lot of different materials and medias on it.=0D=0A=
 After my first tests with some Ecolines, I began to tamper with the media: scratching it, cutting and gluing it back together to create several layers. For this purpose, I used different types of glue, each reacting differently to the heat of the slide projector. For example, when left long enough inside the machine, some slides would begin to crack slowly, resembling old varnished painting.=0D=0A=
 As for the colors, aside the Ecolines, I also used oil-based paint, Indian ink, acrylics... All mixed with cotton or fabric pieces, raw fibers, I even set some creations on fire to alter them.=0D=0A=
 Most of these slides were painted inside their little frames, others were painted on a larger support, then cut later on.=0D=0A=

 =0D=0A=
 Tyranny and war both come with extreme costs, and we often forget who pays.  From the outside looking in, it's easy to view a nation's population as some formless group, joined by a shared religion or language.  =0D=0A=
  =0D=0A=
 Writer/Performer Heather Raffo spent 11 years conducting dozens of interviews on and over four continents with Iraqi women.  Her resulting "theatrical mosaic" depicts the realities of life in Iraq both under Saddam Hussein and since his ouster for several of these unique women, whose individuals worlds have been frayed and fractured, sometimes beyond repair, by their country's history.  =0D=0A=
  =0D=0A=
 Nine Parts of Desire was inspired by Raffo's trip to the Saddam Art Center in Baghdad in 1993 where she saw only billboard-size portraits of Saddam Hussein. However, in a back room she discovered a painting of a nude woman clinging to a barren tree with her head bowed. There was a light in front of her, like a sun. Raffo took a photo of the painting in hopes of finding the artist, only to discover she had been killed during an American-led bombing raid in Baghdad earlier that year.=0D=0A=

 Enter Dorian Gray, a smolderingly perfect 18 year-old beauty with a mysterious past. When a bad-boy artist named Basil spots Dorian on the scene, he is instantly smitten (who wouldn’t be?), launches a bold seduction, and makes his conquest the star of a video installation that takes the city by storm: the eponymous picture of Dorian Gray. But for Dorian, the video sparks an allconsuming vanity, a fear of growing old and ugly, and ultimately, a bargain with the devil.=0D=0A=

 In this sumptuous and groundbreaking romantic epic, forbidden love blossoms on a lush jungle island in modern China. It’s a place of haunting beauty and centuries-old customs, at once a liberating Eden and a repressive backwater. With tender lyricism, director Dai Sijie captures the emotion of this taboo love affair with precious few words and a treasure-trove of intoxicating images: an illicit sexual rendezvous on a mossy jungle bridge; a nude encounter in a steam-bath of hallucinatory herbs.=0D=0A=

 JEANNE HILARY: EDEN. A NEW MEDIA PROJECT =0D=0A=
 Documentary photography presents the possibility of understanding. Paris-based American photographer Jeanne Hilary's Eden communicates a visionary “portrait of America” through photographic landscapes and portraits of everyday small towns across the country. =0D=0A=
 This exhibition of enigmatic large-format photographs and video is one component of an ambitious project which includes site-specific installations of the images on commercial outdoor billboards, electronic digital billboards and an interactive Eden website which incorporates imagery, text, poetry and recorded indigenous folk/roots music. The outdoor installations and the videotaped actions/reactions of the public to these images are connected to each other and viewers via the interactive website and exhibition. =0D=0A=
 Eden images are intended to draw attention to ideas of authenticity and changing concepts of time. Hilary states: “The philosophical foundation of the project is to evoke the histories of small-town America, and, via the website and digital billboards, bring these histories to urban dwellers both in and outside the USA. It is hoped that Eden will encourage viewers to think about their place in time, and see their environment as an historical place, of which the present moment is but one part of an endless accumulation of memory… Eden, is a view from the road of our good intentions.” =0D=0A=
 This project and exhibition has been supported by an Artist-in-Residency grant from the Palm Beach County Cultural Council. =0D=0A=
 The Boca Raton Museum of Art is open Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.; Wednesday 10 a.m. - 9 p.m.; and Saturday and Sunday noon - 5 p.m. Admission for this Special Exhibition is $17 for adults, $15 for senior citizens (65 and older), $12 per person for group tours and $6 for students. =0D=0A=

 CAPTURE, BURN & BLOW UP features photography, photo-based work and video. In keeping with the mission of the Society of Photographic Educators that “seeks to promote a broader understanding of the medium in all its forms, and to foster the development of its practice, teaching, scholarship and criticism,…” some of the artists in this exhibit are teachers while others educate through the story implicit in their images. The group show presents the work of artists Priscilla Ferguson, Gerardo Marulanda, Rolando Dal Pezzo, Alette Simmons-Jimenez, Maria Caridad Perez, Vanessa Monokian, Lourdes Peñaranda, and Hugo Moro. Whether the artist first gazed through the lens to discover his inspiration, or, once inspired, the lens became the tool through which a concept was developed, the assembled collection presents a kaleidoscopic view of richly complex and varied work.

 CAPTURE, BURN & BLOW UP features photography, photo-based work and video. In keeping with the mission of the Society of Photographic Educators that “seeks to promote a broader understanding of the medium in all its forms, and to foster the development of its practice, teaching, scholarship and criticism,…” some of the artists in this exhibit are teachers while others educate through the story implicit in their images. The group show presents the work of artists Priscilla Ferguson, Gerardo Marulanda, Rolando Dal Pezzo, Alette Simmons-Jimenez, Maria Caridad Perez, Vanessa Monokian, Lourdes Peñaranda, and Hugo Moro. Whether the artist first gazed through the lens to discover his inspiration, or, once inspired, the lens became the tool through which a concept was developed, the assembled collection presents a kaleidoscopic view of richly complex and varied work. In their first collaborative project, The Moore Space and Locust Projects are pleased to present the two-venue exhibition Conditions of Display, curated by Gean Moreno. This exhibition will open to the public at both locations on SATURDAY, APRIL 14, 2007 FROM 7-10PM and will include the following 23 artists: Shahin Afrassiabi, Tobias Buche, Gardar Einar Einarsson, Eugenio Espinoza, Andrea Fraser, Gaylen Gerber, Adler Guerrier, Swetlana Heger, Gareth James, Sergej Jensen, Michael Krebber, Michaela Meise, Paulina Olowska, Elena Pankova, Sean Paul, Kristen Pieroth, Seth Price, Blake Rayne, Michael S. Riedel, Josh Smith, Christopher Williams, Johannes Wohnseifer, and Kevin Zucker. =0D=0A=
 In recent years there has been a renewed interest among younger artists to produce work that rescues some of the critical gestures of past generations. Conditions of Display sets out to showcase and explore the meaning of this refocusing on display strategies, presentational contexts, and the myriad ways in which artworks are framed and distributed. Stemming from the preoccupations of early conceptual artists that first turned toward a rigorous investigation of site, the concerns of these younger artists engage not only the immediate physical locale where the work is exhibited but the systems of distribution and display in which they function. Beyond this, the exhibition will explore how the critical gestures fare in our contemporary socio-cultural situation. =0D=0A=
 The work of five artists that first emerged in the late 1980s and early 1990s-Andrea Fraser, Christopher Williams, Michael Krebber, Eugenio Espinoza and Gaylen Geber-made theirs the tradition of institutional critique and context-specific production. Against these, the work of the younger artists in Conditions of Display will be presented. Relying on different media-from digital videos to banners to paintings-these younger artists have revived certain critical and self-reflexive gestures, renewing an interrogation of site and the systems that frame the art object while remaining keenly aware of the socio-cultural situation in which the function. =0D=0A=
 Along with pre-existing objects, a number of the artists will be producing projects specifically for this exhibition. Gaylen Gerber will participate with a new Backdrop painting made specifically for The Moore Space. Berlin-based artist Tobias Buche will build a new, large-scaled display unit. Shahin Afrassiabi has shot a new video that focuses on educational spaces. Miami-based artists Adler Guerrier and Eugenio Espinoza will both make new work. Guerrier’s will involve, among other things, a psycho-geography of the increasingly-gentrified neighborhood of Wynwood and Espinoza will be rehabilitating part of the installation that he produced for Locust Projects in 2005. Sean Paul and Michael S Riedel are both working on context-specific reactions to the sites in which this exhibition will take place. Gardar Einar Einarsson and Blake Rayne will also be participating with new work. =0D=0A=
 This exhibition runs through the end of June at both locations. The Moore Space is a non-profit art space in the Design District in Miami. Founded in 2001, its mission is to present international contemporary art forms. It will achieve this through an experimental program of cross-disciplinary exhibitions, performances, artists and curators residencies and public programs which reflect the state of contemporary art today: new forms, new voices and new thought. The Moore Space is located at 4040 NE 2nd Avenue, 2nd floor in the Design District. =0D=0A=
 Locust Projects is an alternative, not for profit, Miami based exhibition space dedicated to providing contemporary visual artists the freedom to experiment with new ideas and methods without the pressures of gallery sales or other limitations of conventional exhibition spaces. Artists are encouraged to create site-specific installations as an extension of their representative work; Locust Projects offers them a vibrant Miami experience to develop their ideas and methods. Locust Projects is committed to offering an approachable and inviting venue for the Miami and international art community to experience the work and meet the artist. Locust Projects is located at 105 NW 23rd Street in Wynwood. =0D=0A=
 Antikulture Gallery & Boutique Announces Grand Opening with LoCastro’s “PSYCHE” Exhibition. =0D=0A=
 Antikulture Gallery & Boutique opens its doors to the public with “PSYCHE” a special exhibition curated by local lowbrow pioneer Francesco LoCastro who was behind the Art Center/ South Florida’s "We'll Make a Lover of You" exhibition during Art Basel, Miami Beach. =0D=0A=
 =0D=0A=
 The “PSYCHE” exhibtition runs from April 14, 2007 to May 19, 2007. The opening reception is slated for Saturday, April 14, 2007 from 7:00 to 11:00 p.m. during the Wynwood Arts District Gallery Walk. The event is free and open to the public.=0D=0A=

 For the first time, pieces from LoCastro’s private art collection will be on view, as well as new, original paintings and drawings by the artist, available for purchase. LoCastro’s collection and work focuses on the avant-garde lowbrow/ pop surrealist movement, which has been the passion and advocacy of the artist and independent curator for the last ten years. Over 50 works by some of the movement’s biggest names will be on display and several of them will be released for sale.=0D=0A=
 =0D=0A=
 The “PSYCHE” exhibition marks LoCastro’s decade-long journey from local artist to a recognized figure of the worldwide art phenomenon. “South Florida’s undisputed King of Lowbrow” (Flavorpill.com) takes a break from his national exhibition schedule to give Miami an intimate glimpse at the work that inspired him and the movement that catapulted LoCastro to be “a permanent force to be reckoned with” (Juxtapoz Magazine).=0D=0A=
 =0D=0A=
 LoCastro adds: “Antikulture Magazine and Gallery are vital in bringing a new and exciting perspective on art to the forefront of Miami’s slowly flourishing cultural scene. It’s the reason why I chose to work with the Antikulture team on this very personal project of mine; and I am confident that their positive attitude and professionalism will be embraced by the local art community that is ready for a new approach and fresh point of view.”Chicano Visions=0D=0A=
 American Painters on the Verge=0D=0A=
 Now through May 1=0D=0A=
 Seventy-seven works by 26 Chicano artists, drawn mostly from the collection of Cheech Marin, who in less than two decades has built one of the largest collections of Chicano art in the world. "The Chicano School of Painting has always been about re-interpreting a culture," says Marin. "That culture has been shown to be diverse, yet unified, profane and spiritual, traditional and avant-garde. Where other 'schools' of painting have been defined overwhelmingly by stylistic concerns, the Chicano School combines stylistic innovation, blends traditional Mexican popular and religious iconography with modern images of urban angst, and reflects the continually evolving role of Mexican Americans or Chicanos within a larger 'American' society." =0D=0A=

 Hot off its extended, boffo Lincoln Center Theater run, The Clean House is smart, contemporary, alluring, funny, and as Charles Isherwood in The New York Times said, a play that is “romantic, deeply so … visionary, tinged with fantasy, extravagant in feeling, maybe a little nuts.” Written by “a provocative new theatrical voice,” here’s a story about a successful couple, their Portuguese maid who hates to clean, the wife’s sister who lives to clean, the affairs, jokes, and perfect punch line.

 BIOGRAPHY=0D=0A=
 Gérard Vachez was born in France in 1961.=0D=0A=
 His strong desire to study arts led him to a degree in Fine Arts & Graphic Design at Sorbonne in 1984. Shortly after graduation Gérard was hired by the French government to organize Bujumbura’s Cultural Center in Burundi (Central Africa). Africa greatly inspired the young artist who started to take photographs.=0D=0A=
 Gathering his most beautiful black & white pieces he held his first exhibition in Burundi, Rwanda and Zaïre. In 1986 Gérard returned to France, to settle in Paris.=0D=0A=
 After working as an art director for various advertising agencies, he opened his own art studio, the well-renowned “Vue du Pont”. The studio was successful and its clientele increasingly prestigious. It was time for Gérard to hold his first Parisian photography exhibition. The show, held at the Bip gallery, was a hit. He had two more shows in Paris before leaving France.=0D=0A=
 In 1995, Gérard opened another branch of “Vue du Pont” in the West Indies. His reputation quickly spread throughout the Caribbean and the American market and soon he would meet a person who eventually changed his career.=0D=0A=
 In 1998, Michael Capponi, Miami’s famous nightlife promoter, was introduced to Gérard while visiting Guadeloupe. Michael was enthralled by Gérard’s creativity and a deep friendship rapidly formed. He was the catalyst of Gérard’s move to the USA.=0D=0A=
 Through him, Gérard met the prestigious nightlife entrepreneur Chris Paciello and became art director and head of advertising for CP Ventures.=0D=0A=
 A year later Gérard started his own company, Xposure Advertising, an international enterprise with a client list including companies based in the USA, Europe and the Caribbean.=0D=0A=
 Art being Gerard’s main interest, he never ceased holding exhibitions along his career.=0D=0A=
 BODIES reflects the creativity of blending painting and photography.=0D=0A=
 I have always been inspired by bodies in motion and wanted movement to transpire in my pictures. With this intent I used a large tampered glass panel on which I mixed paints and lights while a model moved behind it. The light coming through the colors created a new atmosphere while the model’s moving body was constantly altered by the colored wall of glass. It also took her in and out of focus, accentuating the painting effect.=0D=0A=
 The results were almost unsettling. Where did the photo end and the painting begin?=0D=0A=
 PAINTINGS=0D=0A=
 These paintings were designed to be screened during a special event organized by the University of Sorbonne in Paris. Instead of photographing painted canvases, I chose to create the whole thing on a slide in order to be more of an innovator and cast a more interesting approach to the project.=0D=0A=
 So, I used clear Rodoid Plastic and then mixed a lot of different materials and medias on it.=0D=0A=
 After my first tests with some Ecolines, I began to tamper with the media: scratching it, cutting and gluing it back together to create several layers. For this purpose, I used different types of glue, each reacting differently to the heat of the slide projector. For example, when left long enough inside the machine, some slides would begin to crack slowly, resembling old varnished painting.=0D=0A=
 As for the colors, aside the Ecolines, I also used oil-based paint, Indian ink, acrylics... All mixed with cotton or fabric pieces, raw fibers, I even set some creations on fire to alter them.=0D=0A=
 Most of these slides were painted inside their little frames, others were painted on a larger support, then cut later on.=0D=0A=

 Tyranny and war both come with extreme costs, and we often forget who pays.  From the outside looking in, it's easy to view a nation's population as some formless group, joined by a shared religion or language.  =0D=0A=
  =0D=0A=
 Writer/Performer Heather Raffo spent 11 years conducting dozens of interviews on and over four continents with Iraqi women.  Her resulting "theatrical mosaic" depicts the realities of life in Iraq both under Saddam Hussein and since his ouster for several of these unique women, whose individuals worlds have been frayed and fractured, sometimes beyond repair, by their country's history.  =0D=0A=
  =0D=0A=
 Nine Parts of Desire was inspired by Raffo's trip to the Saddam Art Center in Baghdad in 1993 where she saw only billboard-size portraits of Saddam Hussein. However, in a back room she discovered a painting of a nude woman clinging to a barren tree with her head bowed. There was a light in front of her, like a sun. Raffo took a photo of the painting in hopes of finding the artist, only to discover she had been killed during an American-led bombing raid in Baghdad earlier that year.=0D=0A=

 Enter Dorian Gray, a smolderingly perfect 18 year-old beauty with a mysterious past. When a bad-boy artist named Basil spots Dorian on the scene, he is instantly smitten (who wouldn’t be?), launches a bold seduction, and makes his conquest the star of a video installation that takes the city by storm: the eponymous picture of Dorian Gray. But for Dorian, the video sparks an allconsuming vanity, a fear of growing old and ugly, and ultimately, a bargain with the devil.=0D=0A=

 In this sumptuous and groundbreaking romantic epic, forbidden love blossoms on a lush jungle island in modern China. It’s a place of haunting beauty and centuries-old customs, at once a liberating Eden and a repressive backwater. With tender lyricism, director Dai Sijie captures the emotion of this taboo love affair with precious few words and a treasure-trove of intoxicating images: an illicit sexual rendezvous on a mossy jungle bridge; a nude encounter in a steam-bath of hallucinatory herbs.=0D=0A=

 Boca Raton Museum of Art's Next Exhibition: Jeanne Hillary: Eden. A New Media Project February 28 through June 3, 2007 =0D=0A=
 The Boca Raton Museum of Art is pleased to announce the February 28th opening of Jeanne Hilary: Eden. A New Media Project, which will be on display through June 3, 2007. =0D=0A=
 JEANNE HILARY: EDEN. A NEW MEDIA PROJECT =0D=0A=
 Documentary photography presents the possibility of understanding. Paris-based American photographer Jeanne Hilary's Eden communicates a visionary “portrait of America” through photographic landscapes and portraits of everyday small towns across the country. =0D=0A=
 This exhibition of enigmatic large-format photographs and video is one component of an ambitious project which includes site-specific installations of the images on commercial outdoor billboards, electronic digital billboards and an interactive Eden website which incorporates imagery, text, poetry and recorded indigenous folk/roots music. The outdoor installations and the videotaped actions/reactions of the public to these images are connected to each other and viewers via the interactive website and exhibition. =0D=0A=
 Eden images are intended to draw attention to ideas of authenticity and changing concepts of time. Hilary states: “The philosophical foundation of the project is to evoke the histories of small-town America, and, via the website and digital billboards, bring these histories to urban dwellers both in and outside the USA. It is hoped that Eden will encourage viewers to think about their place in time, and see their environment as an historical place, of which the present moment is but one part of an endless accumulation of memory… Eden, is a view from the road of our good intentions.” =0D=0A=
 This project and exhibition has been supported by an Artist-in-Residency grant from the Palm Beach County Cultural Council. =0D=0A=
 The Boca Raton Museum of Art is open Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.; Wednesday 10 a.m. - 9 p.m.; and Saturday and Sunday noon - 5 p.m. Admission for this Special Exhibition is $17 for adults, $15 for senior citizens (65 and older), $12 per person for group tours and $6 for students. =0D=0A=

 CAPTURE, BURN & BLOW UP features photography, photo-based work and video. In keeping with the mission of the Society of Photographic Educators that “seeks to promote a broader understanding of the medium in all its forms, and to foster the development of its practice, teaching, scholarship and criticism,…” some of the artists in this exhibit are teachers while others educate through the story implicit in their images. The group show presents the work of artists Priscilla Ferguson, Gerardo Marulanda, Rolando Dal Pezzo, Alette Simmons-Jimenez, Maria Caridad Perez, Vanessa Monokian, Lourdes Peñaranda, and Hugo Moro. Whether the artist first gazed through the lens to discover his inspiration, or, once inspired, the lens became the tool through which a concept was developed, the assembled collection presents a kaleidoscopic view of richly complex and varied work. In their first collaborative project, The Moore Space and Locust Projects are pleased to present the two-venue exhibition Conditions of Display, curated by Gean Moreno. This exhibition will open to the public at both locations on SATURDAY, APRIL 14, 2007 FROM 7-10PM and will include the following 23 artists: Shahin Afrassiabi, Tobias Buche, Gardar Einar Einarsson, Eugenio Espinoza, Andrea Fraser, Gaylen Gerber, Adler Guerrier, Swetlana Heger, Gareth James, Sergej Jensen, Michael Krebber, Michaela Meise, Paulina Olowska, Elena Pankova, Sean Paul, Kristen Pieroth, Seth Price, Blake Rayne, Michael S. Riedel, Josh Smith, Christopher Williams, Johannes Wohnseifer, and Kevin Zucker. =0D=0A=
 In recent years there has been a renewed interest among younger artists to produce work that rescues some of the critical gestures of past generations. Conditions of Display sets out to showcase and explore the meaning of this refocusing on display strategies, presentational contexts, and the myriad ways in which artworks are framed and distributed. Stemming from the preoccupations of early conceptual artists that first turned toward a rigorous investigation of site, the concerns of these younger artists engage not only the immediate physical locale where the work is exhibited but the systems of distribution and display in which they function. Beyond this, the exhibition will explore how the critical gestures fare in our contemporary socio-cultural situation. =0D=0A=
 The work of five artists that first emerged in the late 1980s and early 1990s-Andrea Fraser, Christopher Williams, Michael Krebber, Eugenio Espinoza and Gaylen Geber-made theirs the tradition of institutional critique and context-specific production. Against these, the work of the younger artists in Conditions of Display will be presented. Relying on different media-from digital videos to banners to paintings-these younger artists have revived certain critical and self-reflexive gestures, renewing an interrogation of site and the systems that frame the art object while remaining keenly aware of the socio-cultural situation in which the function. =0D=0A=
 Along with pre-existing objects, a number of the artists will be producing projects specifically for this exhibition. Gaylen Gerber will participate with a new Backdrop painting made specifically for The Moore Space. Berlin-based artist Tobias Buche will build a new, large-scaled display unit. Shahin Afrassiabi has shot a new video that focuses on educational spaces. Miami-based artists Adler Guerrier and Eugenio Espinoza will both make new work. Guerrier’s will involve, among other things, a psycho-geography of the increasingly-gentrified neighborhood of Wynwood and Espinoza will be rehabilitating part of the installation that he produced for Locust Projects in 2005. Sean Paul and Michael S Riedel are both working on context-specific reactions to the sites in which this exhibition will take place. Gardar Einar Einarsson and Blake Rayne will also be participating with new work. =0D=0A=
 This exhibition runs through the end of June at both locations. The Moore Space is a non-profit art space in the Design District in Miami. Founded in 2001, its mission is to present international contemporary art forms. It will achieve this through an experimental program of cross-disciplinary exhibitions, performances, artists and curators residencies and public programs which reflect the state of contemporary art today: new forms, new voices and new thought. The Moore Space is located at 4040 NE 2nd Avenue, 2nd floor in the Design District. =0D=0A=
 Locust Projects is an alternative, not for profit, Miami based exhibition space dedicated to providing contemporary visual artists the freedom to experiment with new ideas and methods without the pressures of gallery sales or other limitations of conventional exhibition spaces. Artists are encouraged to create site-specific installations as an extension of their representative work; Locust Projects offers them a vibrant Miami experience to develop their ideas and methods. Locust Projects is committed to offering an approachable and inviting venue for the Miami and international art community to experience the work and meet the artist. Locust Projects is located at 105 NW 23rd Street in Wynwood.

 NINE PARTS OF DESIRE (SOUTHEASTERN US PREMIERE)=0D=0A=
 by Heather Raffo=0D=0A=
 April 11 - May 5, 2006=0D=0A=

 "POWERFUL!  IMPASSIONED!  VIVID!  MEMORABLE!"  New York Times=0D=0A=

 =0D=0A=
 Tyranny and war both come with extreme costs, and we often forget who pays.  From the outside looking in, it's easy to view a nation's population as some formless group, joined by a shared religion or language.  =0D=0A=
  =0D=0A=
 Writer/Performer Heather Raffo spent 11 years conducting dozens of interviews on and over four continents with Iraqi women.  Her resulting "theatrical mosaic" depicts the realities of life in Iraq both under Saddam Hussein and since his ouster for several of these unique women, whose individuals worlds have been frayed and fractured, sometimes beyond repair, by their country's history.  =0D=0A=
  =0D=0A=
 Nine Parts of Desire was inspired by Raffo's trip to the Saddam Art Center in Baghdad in 1993 where she saw only billboard-size portraits of Saddam Hussein. However, in a back room she discovered a painting of a nude woman clinging to a barren tree with her head bowed. There was a light in front of her, like a sun. Raffo took a photo of the painting in hopes of finding the artist, only to discover she had been killed during an American-led bombing raid in Baghdad earlier that year.=0D=0A=

 Enter Dorian Gray, a smolderingly perfect 18 year-old beauty with a mysterious past. When a bad-boy artist named Basil spots Dorian on the scene, he is instantly smitten (who wouldn’t be?), launches a bold seduction, and makes his conquest the star of a video installation that takes the city by storm: the eponymous picture of Dorian Gray. But for Dorian, the video sparks an allconsuming vanity, a fear of growing old and ugly, and ultimately, a bargain with the devil.=0D=0A=

 In this sumptuous and groundbreaking romantic epic, forbidden love blossoms on a lush jungle island in modern China. It’s a place of haunting beauty and centuries-old customs, at once a liberating Eden and a repressive backwater. With tender lyricism, director Dai Sijie captures the emotion of this taboo love affair with precious few words and a treasure-trove of intoxicating images: an illicit sexual rendezvous on a mossy jungle bridge; a nude encounter in a steam-bath of hallucinatory herbs.=0D=0A=

 Boca Raton Museum of Art's Next Exhibition: Jeanne Hillary: Eden. A New Media Project February 28 through June 3, 2007 =0D=0A=
 The Boca Raton Museum of Art is pleased to announce the February 28th opening of Jeanne Hilary: Eden. A New Media Project, which will be on display through June 3, 2007. =0D=0A=
 JEANNE HILARY: EDEN. A NEW MEDIA PROJECT =0D=0A=
 Documentary photography presents the possibility of understanding. Paris-based American photographer Jeanne Hilary's Eden communicates a visionary “portrait of America” through photographic landscapes and portraits of everyday small towns across the country. =0D=0A=
 This exhibition of enigmatic large-format photographs and video is one component of an ambitious project which includes site-specific installations of the images on commercial outdoor billboards, electronic digital billboards and an interactive Eden website which incorporates imagery, text, poetry and recorded indigenous folk/roots music. The outdoor installations and the videotaped actions/reactions of the public to these images are connected to each other and viewers via the interactive website and exhibition. =0D=0A=
 Eden images are intended to draw attention to ideas of authenticity and changing concepts of time. Hilary states: “The philosophical foundation of the project is to evoke the histories of small-town America, and, via the website and digital billboards, bring these histories to urban dwellers both in and outside the USA. It is hoped that Eden will encourage viewers to think about their place in time, and see their environment as an historical place, of which the present moment is but one part of an endless accumulation of memory… Eden, is a view from the road of our good intentions.” =0D=0A=
 This project and exhibition has been supported by an Artist-in-Residency grant from the Palm Beach County Cultural Council. =0D=0A=
 The Boca Raton Museum of Art is open Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.; Wednesday 10 a.m. - 9 p.m.; and Saturday and Sunday noon - 5 p.m. Admission for this Special Exhibition is $17 for adults, $15 for senior citizens (65 and older), $12 per person for group tours and $6 for students. =0D=0A=

 =0D=0A=
 The “PSYCHE” exhibtition runs from April 14, 2007 to May 19, 2007. The opening reception is slated for Saturday, April 14, 2007 from 7:00 to 11:00 p.m. during the Wynwood Arts District Gallery Walk. The event is free and open to the public.=0D=0A=

 For the first time, pieces from LoCastro’s private art collection will be on view, as well as new, original paintings and drawings by the artist, available for purchase. LoCastro’s collection and work focuses on the avant-garde lowbrow/ pop surrealist movement, which has been the passion and advocacy of the artist and independent curator for the last ten years. Over 50 works by some of the movement’s biggest names will be on display and several of them will be released for sale.=0D=0A=
 =0D=0A=
 The “PSYCHE” exhibition marks LoCastro’s decade-long journey from local artist to a recognized figure of the worldwide art phenomenon. “South Florida’s undisputed King of Lowbrow” (Flavorpill.com) takes a break from his national exhibition schedule to give Miami an intimate glimpse at the work that inspired him and the movement that catapulted LoCastro to be “a permanent force to be reckoned with” (Juxtapoz Magazine).=0D=0A=
 =0D=0A=
 LoCastro adds: “Antikulture Magazine and Gallery are vital in bringing a new and exciting perspective on art to the forefront of Miami’s slowly flourishing cultural scene. It’s the reason why I chose to work with the Antikulture team on this very personal project of mine; and I am confident that their positive attitude and professionalism will be embraced by the local art community that is ready for a new approach and fresh point of view.”Chicano Visions=0D=0A=
 American Painters on the Verge=0D=0A=
 Now through May 1=0D=0A=
 Seventy-seven works by 26 Chicano artists, drawn mostly from the collection of Cheech Marin, who in less than two decades has built one of the largest collections of Chicano art in the world. "The Chicano School of Painting has always been about re-interpreting a culture," says Marin. "That culture has been shown to be diverse, yet unified, profane and spiritual, traditional and avant-garde. Where other 'schools' of painting have been defined overwhelmingly by stylistic concerns, the Chicano School combines stylistic innovation, blends traditional Mexican popular and religious iconography with modern images of urban angst, and reflects the continually evolving role of Mexican Americans or Chicanos within a larger 'American' society." =0D=0A=

 CALDWELL THEATRE COMPANY Presents The Florida Premiere of THE CLEAN HOUSE=0D=0A=
 Straight From Its Successful New York Run=0D=0A=
 Caldwell Theatre Company has just snagged the rights to the Florida Premiere of Sarah Ruhl’s critically acclaimed The Clean House, which just ended its extended run at New York’s Lincoln Center Theater. A crackerjack, funny, smart and charming look at a contemporary family facing romantic betrayal, illness and a Portuguese maid who not only hates to clean but has made it her mission to create the perfect punch line, this play, written by a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, will keep you laughing as you fall in love with Ms. Ruhl’s affaire de coeur.=0D=0A=
 The Clean House will replace Cowgirls, which is postponed due to illness in the families of several of its key cast members. One of the best new plays in recent history, The Clean House won the distinguished 2004 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize. It is smart. It is alluring. It is fall down funny. And it is provocative.=0D=0A=

 Comedy By Sarah Ruhl=0D=0A=
 Hot off its extended, boffo Lincoln Center Theater run, The Clean House is smart, contemporary, alluring, funny, and as Charles Isherwood in The New York Times said, a play that is “romantic, deeply so … visionary, tinged with fantasy, extravagant in feeling, maybe a little nuts.” Written by “a provocative new theatrical voice,” here’s a story about a successful couple, their Portuguese maid who hates to clean, the wife’s sister who lives to clean, the affairs, jokes, and perfect punch line. You’ll fall down laughing and fall in love with Ruhl’s affaire de coeur. =0D=0A=

 BIOGRAPHY=0D=0A=
 Gérard Vachez was born in France in 1961.=0D=0A=
 His strong desire to study arts led him to a degree in Fine Arts & Graphic Design at Sorbonne in 1984. Shortly after graduation Gérard was hired by the French government to organize Bujumbura’s Cultural Center in Burundi (Central Africa). Africa greatly inspired the young artist who started to take photographs.=0D=0A=
 Gathering his most beautiful black & white pieces he held his first exhibition in Burundi, Rwanda and Zaïre. In 1986 Gérard returned to France, to settle in Paris.=0D=0A=
 After working as an art director for various advertising agencies, he opened his own art studio, the well-renowned “Vue du Pont”. The studio was successful and its clientele increasingly prestigious. It was time for Gérard to hold his first Parisian photography exhibition. The show, held at the Bip gallery, was a hit. He had two more shows in Paris before leaving France.=0D=0A=
 In 1995, Gérard opened another branch of “Vue du Pont” in the West Indies. His reputation quickly spread throughout the Caribbean and the American market and soon he would meet a person who eventually changed his career.=0D=0A=
 In 1998, Michael Capponi, Miami’s famous nightlife promoter, was introduced to Gérard while visiting Guadeloupe. Michael was enthralled by Gérard’s creativity and a deep friendship rapidly formed. He was the catalyst of Gérard’s move to the USA.=0D=0A=
 Through him, Gérard met the prestigious nightlife entrepreneur Chris Paciello and became art director and head of advertising for CP Ventures.=0D=0A=
 A year later Gérard started his own company, Xposure Advertising, an international enterprise with a client list including companies based in the USA, Europe and the Caribbean.=0D=0A=
 Art being Gerard’s main interest, he never ceased holding exhibitions along his career.=0D=0A=
 BODIES reflects the creativity of blending painting and photography.=0D=0A=
 I have always been inspired by bodies in motion and wanted movement to transpire in my pictures. With this intent I used a large tampered glass panel on which I mixed paints and lights while a model moved behind it. The light coming through the colors created a new atmosphere while the model’s moving body was constantly altered by the colored wall of glass. It also took her in and out of focus, accentuating the painting effect.=0D=0A=
 The results were almost unsettling. Where did the photo end and the painting begin?=0D=0A=
 PAINTINGS=0D=0A=
 These paintings were designed to be screened during a special event organized by the University of Sorbonne in Paris. Instead of photographing painted canvases, I chose to create the whole thing on a slide in order to be more of an innovator and cast a more interesting approach to the project.=0D=0A=
 So, I used clear Rodoid Plastic and then mixed a lot of different materials and medias on it.=0D=0A=
 After my first tests with some Ecolines, I began to tamper with the media: scratching it, cutting and gluing it back together to create several layers. For this purpose, I used different types of glue, each reacting differently to the heat of the slide projector. For example, when left long enough inside the machine, some slides would begin to crack slowly, resembling old varnished painting.=0D=0A=
 As for the colors, aside the Ecolines, I also used oil-based paint, Indian ink, acrylics... All mixed with cotton or fabric pieces, raw fibers, I even set some creations on fire to alter them.=0D=0A=
 Most of these slides were painted inside their little frames, others were painted on a larger support, then cut later on.=0D=0A=

 NINE PARTS OF DESIRE (SOUTHEASTERN US PREMIERE)=0D=0A=

 Tyranny and war both come with extreme costs, and we often forget who pays.  From the outside looking in, it's easy to view a nation's population as some formless group, joined by a shared religion or language.  =0D=0A=
  =0D=0A=
 Writer/Performer Heather Raffo spent 11 years conducting dozens of interviews on and over four continents with Iraqi women.  Her resulting "theatrical mosaic" depicts the realities of life in Iraq both under Saddam Hussein and since his ouster for several of these unique women, whose individuals worlds have been frayed and fractured, sometimes beyond repair, by their country's history.  =0D=0A=
  =0D=0A=
 Nine Parts of Desire was inspired by Raffo's trip to the Saddam Art Center in Baghdad in 1993 where she saw only billboard-size portraits of Saddam Hussein. However, in a back room she discovered a painting of a nude woman clinging to a barren tree with her head bowed. There was a light in front of her, like a sun. Raffo took a photo of the painting in hopes of finding the artist, only to discover she had been killed during an American-led bombing raid in Baghdad earlier that year.=0D=0A=

 Enter Dorian Gray, a smolderingly perfect 18 year-old beauty with a mysterious past. When a bad-boy artist named Basil spots Dorian on the scene, he is instantly smitten (who wouldn’t be?), launches a bold seduction, and makes his conquest the star of a video installation that takes the city by storm: the eponymous picture of Dorian Gray. But for Dorian, the video sparks an allconsuming vanity, a fear of growing old and ugly, and ultimately, a bargain with the devil.=0D=0A=

 In this sumptuous and groundbreaking romantic epic, forbidden love blossoms on a lush jungle island in modern China. It’s a place of haunting beauty and centuries-old customs, at once a liberating Eden and a repressive backwater. With tender lyricism, director Dai Sijie captures the emotion of this taboo love affair with precious few words and a treasure-trove of intoxicating images: an illicit sexual rendezvous on a mossy jungle bridge; a nude encounter in a steam-bath of hallucinatory herbs.=0D=0A=

 Boca Raton Museum of Art's Next Exhibition: Jeanne Hillary: Eden. A New Media Project February 28 through June 3, 2007 =0D=0A=
 The Boca Raton Museum of Art is pleased to announce the February 28th opening of Jeanne Hilary: Eden. A New Media Project, which will be on display through June 3, 2007. =0D=0A=
 JEANNE HILARY: EDEN. A NEW MEDIA PROJECT =0D=0A=
 Documentary photography presents the possibility of understanding. Paris-based American photographer Jeanne Hilary's Eden communicates a visionary “portrait of America” through photographic landscapes and portraits of everyday small towns across the country. =0D=0A=
 This exhibition of enigmatic large-format photographs and video is one component of an ambitious project which includes site-specific installations of the images on commercial outdoor billboards, electronic digital billboards and an interactive Eden website which incorporates imagery, text, poetry and recorded indigenous folk/roots music. The outdoor installations and the videotaped actions/reactions of the public to these images are connected to each other and viewers via the interactive website and exhibition. =0D=0A=
 Eden images are intended to draw attention to ideas of authenticity and changing concepts of time. Hilary states: “The philosophical foundation of the project is to evoke the histories of small-town America, and, via the website and digital billboards, bring these histories to urban dwellers both in and outside the USA. It is hoped that Eden will encourage viewers to think about their place in time, and see their environment as an historical place, of which the present moment is but one part of an endless accumulation of memory… Eden, is a view from the road of our good intentions.” =0D=0A=
 This project and exhibition has been supported by an Artist-in-Residency grant from the Palm Beach County Cultural Council. =0D=0A=
 The Boca Raton Museum of Art is open Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.; Wednesday 10 a.m. - 9 p.m.; and Saturday and Sunday noon - 5 p.m. Admission for this Special Exhibition is $17 for adults, $15 for senior citizens (65 and older), $12 per person for group tours and $6 for students. =0D=0A=

 CAPTURE, BURN & BLOW UP features photography, photo-based work and video. In keeping with the mission of the Society of Photographic Educators that “seeks to promote a broader understanding of the medium in all its forms, and to foster the development of its practice, teaching, scholarship and criticism,…” some of the artists in this exhibit are teachers while others educate through the story implicit in their images. The group show presents the work of artists Priscilla Ferguson, Gerardo Marulanda, Rolando Dal Pezzo, Alette Simmons-Jimenez, Maria Caridad Perez, Vanessa Monokian, Lourdes Peñaranda, and Hugo Moro. Whether the artist first gazed through the lens to discover his inspiration, or, once inspired, the lens became the tool through which a concept was developed, the assembled collection presents a kaleidoscopic view of richly complex and varied work. In their first collaborative project, The Moore Space and Locust Projects are pleased to present the two-venue exhibition Conditions of Display, curated by Gean Moreno. This exhibition will open to the public at both locations on SATURDAY, APRIL 14, 2007 FROM 7-10PM and will include the following 23 artists: Shahin Afrassiabi, Tobias Buche, Gardar Einar Einarsson, Eugenio Espinoza, Andrea Fraser, Gaylen Gerber, Adler Guerrier, Swetlana Heger, Gareth James, Sergej Jensen, Michael Krebber, Michaela Meise, Paulina Olowska, Elena Pankova, Sean Paul, Kristen Pieroth, Seth Price, Blake Rayne, Michael S. Riedel, Josh Smith, Christopher Williams, Johannes Wohnseifer, and Kevin Zucker. =0D=0A=
 In recent years there has been a renewed interest among younger artists to produce work that rescues some of the critical gestures of past generations. Conditions of Display sets out to showcase and explore the meaning of this refocusing on display strategies, presentational contexts, and the myriad ways in which artworks are framed and distributed. Stemming from the preoccupations of early conceptual artists that first turned toward a rigorous investigation of site, the concerns of these younger artists engage not only the immediate physical locale where the work is exhibited but the systems of distribution and display in which they function. Beyond this, the exhibition will explore how the critical gestures fare in our contemporary socio-cultural situation. =0D=0A=
 The work of five artists that first emerged in the late 1980s and early 1990s-Andrea Fraser, Christopher Williams, Michael Krebber, Eugenio Espinoza and Gaylen Geber-made theirs the tradition of institutional critique and context-specific production. Against these, the work of the younger artists in Conditions of Display will be presented. Relying on different media-from digital videos to banners to paintings-these younger artists have revived certain critical and self-reflexive gestures, renewing an interrogation of site and the systems that frame the art object while remaining keenly aware of the socio-cultural situation in which the function. =0D=0A=
 Along with pre-existing objects, a number of the artists will be producing projects specifically for this exhibition. Gaylen Gerber will participate with a new Backdrop painting made specifically for The Moore Space. Berlin-based artist Tobias Buche will build a new, large-scaled display unit. Shahin Afrassiabi has shot a new video that focuses on educational spaces. Miami-based artists Adler Guerrier and Eugenio Espinoza will both make new work. Guerrier’s will involve, among other things, a psycho-geography of the increasingly-gentrified neighborhood of Wynwood and Espinoza will be rehabilitating part of the installation that he produced for Locust Projects in 2005. Sean Paul and Michael S Riedel are both working on context-specific reactions to the sites in which this exhibition will take place. Gardar Einar Einarsson and Blake Rayne will also be participating with new work. =0D=0A=
 This exhibition runs through the end of June at both locations. The Moore Space is a non-profit art space in the Design District in Miami. Founded in 2001, its mission is to present international contemporary art forms. It will achieve this through an experimental program of cross-disciplinary exhibitions, performances, artists and curators residencies and public programs which reflect the state of contemporary art today: new forms, new voices and new thought. The Moore Space is located at 4040 NE 2nd Avenue, 2nd floor in the Design District. =0D=0A=
 Locust Projects is an alternative, not for profit, Miami based exhibition space dedicated to providing contemporary visual artists the freedom to experiment with new ideas and methods without the pressures of gallery sales or other limitations of conventional exhibition spaces. Artists are encouraged to create site-specific installations as an extension of their representative work; Locust Projects offers them a vibrant Miami experience to develop their ideas and methods. Locust Projects is committed to offering an approachable and inviting venue for the Miami and international art community to experience the work and meet the artist. Locust Projects is located at 105 NW 23rd Street in Wynwood. =0D=0A=
