William Hector
Please join us for an evening of Homeric magnitude. Thus, allow us to present two Greek-themed plays inspired by Homer’s epic literature, as our celebrated playwrights, cfrancis blackchild and William Hector take us through an odyssey of Ancient Greece via TMZ, the Jersey Shores and the Kardashians shows combined. If you want tragedy, mayhem and profanity, not unlike any Republican debates would offer these days, we got you covered. Come for a great evening of delicious food and drinks, and last but not least, Christina Pettersson's magnificent hand drawings will beautifully coalesce with the plays whilst setting the décor splendidly.

General Practice 

Screening from 7pm to 10pm

General Practice has been Carlos Rigau’s curatorial practice for 4 years. Recently, he has turned this work into an experimental interview television show. The focus of this work is to highlight underrepresented experimental artists working in NYC and Miami. Many artists, musicians and writers in N.Y. work on the fringe. This is often the case because of their economic class, gender and/or ethnicity. Sometimes the work is not market friendly. Very often, this experimental work is a prelude of things to come. "General Practice Presents" will be an avenue for these fringe makers to present their work and be able to document their existence and contributions.

Carlos Rigau

makes images, moving images and sculpture. At the onset of a work, Rigau’s process begins with collage techniques allowing him to experiment with content that is not congruent and forms that are irregular. This process leads to new forms that may guide him to reevaluating the content. Artifice, display and perception are Rigau's primary fields of inquirers. Critical agitation and defamiliarization is the intent.

Speaker:

Alexei Barrionuevo 
Captain Dan Kipnis
​Commissioner Joy Van Wye Malakoff
Rene Gonzalez

Rising water levels are a serious global threat. In and around south Florida, it is clear that changes in thinking and practice are necessary to develop solutions that are at once innovative, visionary, and achievable.
​A moderated panel on the subject, led by journalist Alexei Barrionuevo, will comprise the voices of three presenters. Environmentalist and frequent lecturer Captain Dan Kipnis will speak on global warming and its effect on the local ecosystem, Commissioner Joy Malakoff will discuss the current approaches that the City of Miami Beach is using to address urban flooding, and architect Rene Gonzalez will share a number of elevated projects his office has developed that directly address these changing environmental conditions.
