The District Factory in Design District

Jeile Marie — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 23:44:34 +0000

Where Emerging Designers and Artists Pop Shop
During Art & Design Night in the Miami Design District

As a nod to Andy Warhol’s famed studio “The Factory”, The District Factory, an evening shopping event & mash-up hosted by special guest Annie Vazquez, The Fashion Poet, is set to launch Saturday, April 14, 2012, from 7-10PM, at 3900 NE 1st Avenue, in the Miami Design District, during Art & Design Night, and will shine a spotlight on the emerging designers and artists who are single-handedly manufacturing the hottest trends.

Showcasing what’s in stock, items available for sale include art, jewelry, apparel, reconstructed vintage and more. To add, The District Factory also features monthly rotating art installations, specialty cocktails and light bites, a complimentary quick fix from Nail Bar Beauty and Lounge, sounds by the pros at Scratch DJ Academy, an indie “Factory Flick” courtesy of O Cinema, and so much more. Providing a visually creative and custom designed backdrop for The Factory is Steve Harivel, Founder of Club Harivel. Using vintage factory finds and remnants, also available for purchase, Harivel describes the look as “atelier”, French for creative workshop.

Founded on the belief that you can make a living doing what you love, The District Factory encourages the entrepreneurial spirit of emerging artists and designers by facilitating exchanges with the community that result in awareness, support, and ultimately commerce. Taking it “offline”, The District Factory offers a “glimpse behind the assembly line” and creates synergies between creatives and the community looking to meet the talent behind today’s emerging trends.

Partners of this eagerly anticipated launch also include Miami Design District, MIAMI Magazine, Delaplaine Water, Pop Chips, and Mercedes-Benz of Coral Gables who will showcase a beautiful selection of vehicles available to Factory fans. Receiving a portion of the evening’s proceeds is Dress for Success Miami, who provides training and clothing to individuals struggling to secure and retain employment. ”The District Factory’s focus on making a living out of doing what you love is one that Dress for Success Miami shares. For over 17 years, we have been committed to helping Miami residents’ dreams of employment come true. We are honored to be the beneficiary and look forward to a successful launch event this April,” said Sonia Jacobson, Founder and Executive Director, Dress for Success Miami.

Currently The District Factory is a monthly evening shopping event and mash-up during Design District’s Art & Design Night. Future plans include operating seven days a week to provide designers and artists with a communal workspace and showroom, creative inspiration sessions, industry panel discussions and workshops.

Opening reception will happen during the “third Friday of the month” – Jazz night at MOCA.

AisHa! Blakey
I used to ride three buses home everyday. I had a lot of time to see people from very different backgrounds and destinations share moments together. While studying sculpture at the University of Florida, I explored these moments. I moved back to Miami. Now I make sculpture based on my fascination with how we tell our own stories. I think about my cultural differences and how we make sacrifices, or should, in order to live together. I make objects to populate our world.

Floyd
A pioneer in the Motion Art movement; he is the only artist of his kind who creates art with rock bands. The final product is a revolution on canvas fueled by the music’s energy and Floyd’s art. Floyd has appeared on more than 40 TV programs. In 2011 he premiered his Art Video shot to the song “Blen Blen Remix” exclusively on Buenos Dias Miami on Telemundo. In April 2011, Floyd had a solo exhibit at Show Business TV’s production studio at Wynwood Art District. The show which airs across Latin America and the Caribbean features Latin and American celebrities at the peak of their popularity. Due to the highly successful exhibit Floyd’s art is now a regular installment and serves as a backdrop for the interviews. Floyd has worked with Edesio Alejandro and has been invited to exhibit his work in New York City at a charity gala event with participants including Victoria Secret models, championship NASCAR winners and elite fashion designers at Gloria Cressler’s Austrian Forum Cultural Event. These are some of Floyd’s achievements. To read more, please check his website.

Xibie Corea
Miami local artist, born in São Paulo, Brazil. Moved to the United States in 1993. Got involved with the arts and received her Bachelors in Fine Arts from New World School of the Arts/University of Florida in 2006. Xibie has been working in her field as an art director for many years. In 2003 she joined “Art by Girls” and that venture happened ‘till 2007, where she curated and managed exhibitions as well as showed some of her own work. Now Having exhibited in 15+ shows locally, Xibie is now working independently within commercial arts, painting, photography and is much involved with the “blogging” world. Xibie’s main influences are Warhol, Basquiat, Miro and Mackenzie Thorpe (as well as illustrators such as Natalie Dee, Exploding Dog, etc). Oh, and most definitely street art/graffiti and stickers! Being categorized as “pop” as well as “neo-expressionism” artist, Xibie is eager to keep on developing her work while becoming more involved with the community.

Ed King
Since 2003, award winning neo-pop artist Ed King has been living his dream of creating fun and inspiring artwork for clients all over the world. His use of vibrant colors, black outlines, and his signature stitching has won over the hearts and minds of South Florida. While Miami is his home base, Ed King has delivered paintings, prints, and calendars to homes throughout the United States, Canada, England, France, Germany, Australia, Venezuela, Kuwait, and more. Beyond the upbeat look and feel of the work is an undercurrent of positive messages of prosperity and happiness which is displayed for each painting in his online gallery. “There is a ‘fun-tellectual aspect to my work that people really connect with,” states King. “My job is to bring smiles to the faces of people all over the world. Wherever my art goes, smiles follow”. Artist Ed King has been selected as one of the top creative minds in South Florida by SoFi Magazine, was featured in the German travel magazine GoSixt, and was commissioned to create his artwork into a special award for the Chief Justice of the Florida Supreme Court. King has previously won the Calabash Visual Arts Community Service Award, worked with autistic children at the Carrie Brazer Center, and has painted with the kids of Holtz Children’s Hospital. King’s work has represented the “Sunny Isles Beach Jazz Festival” and “Carnaval on the Mile” posters as well as the Legal Service of Greater Miami’s “Heart of Giving” campaign.

Art Wynwood 2012

Richard — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 18:20:51 +0000

This is year one for a new contemporary art fair in Miami named Art Wynwood. This video is of the opening VIP party. Follow Art Wynwood on Facebook and Twitter @ArtWynwood. ”You Go Where We Go” – goLIVEmiami

Art Wynwood took place on President’s Day Weekend, February 16 – 20th, 2012. Held in the spacious 100,000-square-foot Art Miami Pavilion, which attracted more than 55,000 attendees during the 2011 edition of Art Miami, the inaugural five-day International Contemporary Art Fair will showcase a compelling array of cutting-edge, contemporary and modern artwork by both emerging and established artists from more than 50 galleries, including “the flying murals of Wynwood” commissioned by the district’s own Tony Goldman.

Art Wynwood featured paintings, photography, sculpture, art video and new media, conceptual art and urban street art by 500 artists from 13 countries: Argentina, Austria, Canada, China, France, Germany, Ireland, Mexico, Spain, the Netherlands, Venezuela, United Kingdom and the United States. With representation from 100 cities from around the world, including 50 across the U.S., Art Wynwood will further distinguish the Wynwood Arts District as a leading cultural destination for acquiring contemporary art. A VIP Private Preview was held in celebration of the opening on Thursday, February 16, 2012.

“This is a very exciting time and opportunity for the Wynwood Arts District, as well as Miami, our organization, exhibitors and the international community of art collectors who vacation or call South Florida home during President’s Day Weekend,” said Nick Korniloff, Director and Partner of Art Wynwood. “Art Wynwood will further ignite the Wynwood Arts District urban revitalization by providing a high quality, standalone International Contemporary Art Fair that will garner international recognition for the district and deliver a positive economic impact for many years to come.”

Capturing the essence of what the Wynwood Arts District and the Miami Art scene have to offer is paramount. Notably, Tony Goldman, who has been a driving force in the evolution of the arts and warehouse district of Wynwood, will exhibit what he describes as “the flying murals of Wynwood” in the fair’s VIP Lounge. Under his guidance, six 8′ x 24′ murals by international artists, including a Retna work from the Janet and Tony Goldman Collection, an existing piece from How & Nosm, as well as new murals from DAZE, Aiko and Futura, will be installed. Goldman will also be an integral part of Art Wynwood’s soon-to-be-announced host committee, which will be comprised of industry leaders in the art, design and media worlds from Miami and beyond. He states, “We applaud the organizers of Art Wynwood for their decision to launch a new art fair in Miami next month. This is a wonderful example of how Miami – and specifically Wynwood – has evolved into a year round arts destination. I think I speak on behalf of the entire Wynwood community in welcoming and supporting Art Wynwood.”
