Something In Spanish
(19 March 2007) - An acomplished Jazz musician and a master at creating the perfect cinematic atmosphere for recent CH videos, Julio Monterrey's main musical project is Something In Spanish. Along with Michelle Perez, Something In Spanish's avant-pop sound fuses elements of '50s pop, exotic lounge, experimental electronic and free jazz. Tonight at MonkeyTown in Brooklyn is Something In Spanish's monthly night there featuring custom videos by m...

Cool Hunting Video Presents: Art Basel Miami Beach 2006, Part Two
(25 December 2006) - The little sister to the 37 year-old fair in Basel, in just five years Art Basel Miami Beach has established itself as a major international art fair—albeit a slightly wilder, more social version than the others. We decided to use the popularity of the fair and the many other fairs and events happening at the same time to look at the current art market...

Joris Laarman's Bone Chair
(19 December 2006) - Debuted earlier this month during the Art Basel Miami Beach events, Joris Laarman's Bone chair takes its inspiration from the efficient way that bones grow (adding material where strength is needed and taking away material where it's unnecessary). Made using a digital tool developed by GM that copies these methods of construction, Laarman says the ironic result of his biomimetic technique is "an almost...

Cool Hunting Video Presents: Art Basel Miami Beach 2006, Part One
(19 December 2006) - For CH's second annual video series about the series of art fairs, parties and events that take place around Art Basel Miami Beach for a week in early December, we go from the literal fringes (artist-designed blimps on the beach) to Basel itself. This first of two parts is a glimpse at the many sculptures, paintings and installations that fill buildings and tents (and...

Artist Beach Towels
(15 December 2006) - A huge hit at the Deitch/Paper store that took place last week in Miami during Art Basel, these artist-designed beach towels ($50) are for those who want to wrap themselves in art. Featuring works by Alex Katz, Marilyn Minter, Richard Phillips and Rob Pruitt (pictured above from L-R), the towels are gigantic (measuring 60"x70"), soft and the colors look great in terry cloth. Though...

Scope Miami 2006
(14 December 2006) - Now in its third year, Scope is one of the more established of the many art fairs held last week in Miami, but still feels like the alternative to the alternative—a looser, more kinetic little sister to both Nada and Basel counterparts. Having graduated from their old digs in the Thompson Hotel, Scope now has a tent of its own. But, walking through it...

Hella Jongerius: Layers
(13 December 2006) - I'd love to see this work (titled Bedstee) from Dutch designer Hella Jongerius go into production. On show in Miami last week at a small satellite exhibition from New York's Moss Gallery, it's part of a textiles series called Layers. It comes across like a room within a room, almost like a child's multi-functional bunk bed, but beautifully crafted from blond wood and heavily...

Elusive Signs: Bruce Nauman Works with Light
(25 October 2006) - With neon's flashy allure and an impish wit, Bruce Nauman's light-based works that mix tongue-in-cheek commentary and the eye candy of a commercial medium, are a large part of why he's often referred to as one of the greatest living artists. In a show called "Elusive Signs: Bruce Nauman Works with Light" currently up at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in North Miami...

Lexus 460 Degrees Gallery
(23 October 2006) - Celebrating the launch of their newest flagship luxury LS 460 sedan, the Lexus 460 Degrees Gallery opened 20 October 2006 in LA and runs through 3 November 2006. Curators Shamin Momin (of the Whitney) and Sebastian Agneessens helped Lexus commission artists Arne Quinze, Miranda Lichtenstein, and Pascual Sisto to create the "Light and Speed" exhibition.

Juliet Rose
(18 October 2006) - The spare key, a couple of nails, ring pulls from drink cans, safety pins and more safety pins… For most, all those odd bits and pieces that gather in bowls and boxes and on tabletops are just the seemingly insignificant but endless debris of everyday life. For British artist Juliet Rose, clutter is the subject of her strikingly graphic paintings. Carefully arranging these inane...

Arrive Miami
(21 July 2006) - Arrive Miami's attention to detail and commitment to serving this generation's travel-minded set is clear. Like Base, Arrive is a retail rarity in Miami; the not quite one year-old boutique features labels like Y-3, Loeffler Randall, Evisu, Cloak, Earnest Sewn, Nicole Farhi, LA Atelier, Red Monkey, Grey Ant, Cazal, Bell & Ross, and Rogues Gallery, among others. As the line-up suggests, Arrive's approach to fashion...

M3 Summit 2006
(29 March 2006) - Already in its third year the M3 Summit is beginning to take shape as an informative, energetic and eclectic festival. It is the ideal alternative to shivering through late March in New York. M3 in sunny Miami Beach makes you feel like you are cheating on winter with spring. This past weekend the Surf Comber and National hotels on Collins Ave in Miami Beach...

Lynne Golob Gelfman: react
(03 January 2006) - Opening this Thursday, 5 January, in Miami's Frederic Snitzer Gallery, Lynne Golob Gelfman's latest solo show builds on her repertoire of densely layered, process-oriented work. A reception for the artist takes place Saturday, 14 January at the gallery (the Miami-based artist has been showing at Snitzer for 15 years) and the exhibition runs through 30 January.

Base
(20 December 2005) - For better or worse, the Lincoln Road Mall on South Miami Beach is quite reminiscent of New York's 7th Avenue in the West Village. One shop however, Base, stands out from the rest by offering an exceptionally curated suite of both products and services. Owner Steven Giles says "we're less about labels and more about the ongoing (and less easily defined) culture of the...

Laughing Bike
(08 December 2005) - Another highlight from the Basel weekend (yes, updates are still coming) was Soundbike, an art project by Jessica Thompson. Basically, a fleet of bikes was outfitted to emit laughter when the rider pedals. The faster the pedaling, the louder and more hysterical the laughter. In addition to being a lot of fun, I though her piece was a perfect little statement on the art...

Brinco Sneakers
(05 December 2005) - Although only 1000 of these shoes were made, these limited edition sneakers are more about art than footwear. Featured in the Printed Matter booth at Art Basel and designed by Argentine-born artist Judi Werthein, Brincos were created for migrant workers crossing the U.S./Mexico border. Each pair comes with a flashlight and compass attached to the shoelaces, a small pocket in the tongue for money...

design.05 Miami
(02 December 2005) - design.05 Miami made its debut last night as part of the art and design frenzy in Miami that is frothing to unknown proportions with Art Basel and its six concurrent shows (Aqua Art Miami, Frisbee Art Fair, NADA Art Fair, Pulse and SCOPE Miami, not to mention every museum and gallery in town and their concurrent shows). There is so much great art and...

Jeppe Hein: Distance
(02 December 2005) - Last night we went over to Miami's thriving design district for the design.05 Miami show (more on that to follow) and on our way in got side tracked by this installation from 31 year old Danishman Jeppe Hein. Distance is an exploration of art as a game. When a viewer enters the gallery a white ball is released on to a 330 feet roller...

Art Basel: Art Positions, Containers
(01 December 2005) - A short walk from the main happenings at the Miami Beach Convention Center is Art Positions. The show includes 20 young galleries featuring their artists in shipping containers converted into exhibition spaces. The work here is much more experimental and edgier than that at the main venue and the containers are a challenging venue that some galleries embraced and used well. After the jump...

Art Basel: Grand Opening
(01 December 2005) - Now in its 4th year on Miami Beach, Art Basel opened doors last night to an eager crowd of collectors, dealers, artists and press. The main event is at the Convention Center, but the overwhelming popularity of Basel has resulted in many outcroppings of art all over Miami and Miami Beach. After the jump are some shots of work (both old and new) we...

Cindy Wright
(24 November 2005) - Cindy Wright is a Belgian artist who is showing her work for the first time in the United States at Pulse, a fair concurrent with Art Basel in Miami. [We'll be on site giving you reports all next week]. Cindy's work is nothing short of awe inspiring.

(18 October 2004) - David Hilliard photographs sultry Summery scenes sequentially from slightly different angles. He places multiple frames together to create a unique experience of his personal visual story. Each piece is comprised of 2 or 3 panels sized at 20" x 24" or 30" x 40".
