MULTIVERSAL GROUP SHOW - art basel miami 2010

Art Basel Miami Beach is the most important art show in the United States – a cultural and social highlight for the Americas. As the sister event of Switzerland’s Art Basel, it is the most prestigious art show worldwide for the past 40 years.  In that spirit, for the duration of Art Basel,  the Multiversal group show will feature a unique series of exhibitions showcasing the works of many talented artists from around the world.

Multiversal 2010 will feature both established and emerging names from around the world.  Their media spans the fine arts including: live art, sculpture, animation, photography, body painting, custom toys and more.  Around all of this will swirl a vortex of aerialists, burlesque and belly dancers, exhibitionists, extemporaneous theater, all to the rhythm of live and recorded music – truly a Multiversal human experience that will be open to the public from  December 2-5 at Art Basel Miami 2010.

Multiversal 2009 was a huge fan favorite and drew more than 4,000 visitors.

Multiversal 2010 will be located at the Grey Area (130 NW 24TH STREET, MIAMI, FL), where we’ll take over 4,500 square feet of indoor space and more than 4,500 square feet of tented and open-air space adjacent, bringing art fans a truly can’t-miss event.

HERE IS A PREVIEW OF THE LINEUP...

KAZILLA painting live at WHO CAN ROAST THE MOST? 13 Miami, Florida

Ground Zero Crew Presents

Who Can Roast The Most ? 13 Miami, Florida

Saturday October 23rd
Photobucket

...Since 1999, Who Can Roast The Most? has grown to be recognized as a Premier B-boy (Break Dancing) Event which is been acclaimed as a “MUST” by dancers, and fans in Miami, and beyond. The event has been traditionally produced by “Ground Zero Crew”, the Miami-based, world renowned break-dancing Group. The event has been held for over a decade in multiple venues including South Florida, Los Angeles, Washington DC, and New York City. Saturday, October 23rd WCRTM returns to its birth place of Miami Florida for its 13th installation. This return is especially significant as marks the return of the classic combatants of WCRTM or rather the first Bboys to do the 1vs.1's later described below.All of Miami's most legendary bboys return to battle it out with the Worlds best.

The event derives its name from the terminology used when a dancer or crew are “out-done in a battle”, or lose in a competitive dance situation: , "Oh you got roasted!". Indeed, Who Can Roast the Most? boasts its exceptional popularity among the Global B-boy Community, for its unique formula and approach. It has come to be recognized as the ultimate in “One-on-One Battles”,staying clear of the well treaded contests that are ubiquitous among the scene, by bringing together a cast of characters drawing from talent pools from opposite geographical locations culminating in an energetic experience of stylistic dynamism. The best B-boys and B-girls in the East or South East face off against the best in the West and Mid-West. Participants undergo a grueling 10 rounds of competitive dancing where their talent and stamina are tested to their limit. All in ALL, the event promotes excellence in performance, without seeking to declare one of the sides Victorious! That’s Right! There is NO Winner announced to add to the hype, and the event features NO JUDGES. Fans do vote online for who they want to see perform. And what they consider to be dream matches, and “Who Can Roast the Most?” turns them into a reality!

workworkwork

i find myself between a rock and a hard place.

the rock is my art. my foundation. my creative force. my drive in life.

the hard place is my job, which is sucking up every moment of free time i have, leaving me wanting and longing for all those times i used to rock.

sometimes we have to do what we have to do, but what is it worth? is it valuble to forsake those things you stirive for just to make the almighty dollar?

therefor lies my conundrum.

"Love's First Touch"

that first glance. you look away. did he see me? you look again. he's still got his his eyes locked on you. you catch your breath, and catch his attention. moving closer you feel his energy, his heat, the wind from his quick motion to your side. you watch his feet move close to yours. as you take him in from toe to head, your eyes meet. in that moment before his skin touches yours, is that moment that lasts for an eternity. the questionable, curious, excitement of unknowing, that turns into knowing too quick. if we could only hold on to that moment for a lifetime. when you do....that's what you call love.

houses of the mind

My house.
My home.
A house for me is not a sense of security. It is not a representation of what I am
worth. It is not my ideal for my sense of living. It is not my castle. It is not where my happiness resides. It is not a family symbol. It is not broken, nor is it happy.
My house is where I sleep. It is where I keep the things I have collected. It is my
studio, my garden, and my kitchen. It is where I bathe, meditate, and dance. It is where i hang out with my friends. My house is not my home.
Two years of my life I spent backpacking on the North American continent. I
spent countless nights sleeping directly under the stars and feeling the breath of god
on my face. My home is where my feet take me. For it resides in my spirit. My home is
where my heart is, on the foot-path of my life.

a beautiful sunday

just got home from the illest used book store with my baby ♥ now reading: alfred hitchcok's "hangman's dozen," "the medicine wheel" by sun bear and wabun, and "native american art" for inspiration.

then i scored a sweet italian scarf at the hillsboro antique mall...i think i could have spent a whole day there if my stomache hadnt been screaming for jamaican veggie roti with extra potato curry.

now i'm going to sit back and enjoy the evening with a good book.

words of wisdom for 2010

A human being is part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. We experience ourselves, our thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from the prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. The true value of a human being is determined by the measure and the sense in which they have obtained liberation from the self. We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if humanity is to survive. (Albert Einstein, 1954)
