Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) announced an exciting lineup of events, exhibitions, and programs for Miami Art Week 2024 . Featuring panel discussions, artist-led tours, and lively parties, the museum’s dynamic Art Week programs highlight the museum’s dedication to Miami’s diverse arts community and encourage art viewing as a means of genuine human connection. José Parlá. "American Mindscape", 2024. Acrylic, oil, enamel spray paint, paper collage, and plaster on canvas. 96 x 168 x 3 inches. Courtesy the artist and Parlá Studios During Art Week, visitors can view José Parlá: Homecoming , the artist’s monumental exhibition celebrating his return to his hometown. The elaborate, two-part exhibition features a series of large-scale never-before-seen works and a site-specific mural painted throughout a weekend-long live-painting performance at the museum. Homecoming represents a radical departure from the traditional use of space in a museum, bringing Parlá’s practice within the museum’s walls, transforming and converting the gallery into the artist’s studio. The exhibition not only represents a homecoming to Parlá’s home of Miami but also marks a return to himself and his practice, as the works on view were created after recovering from a four-month coma due to a life-threatening case of COVID-19. The museum will be open with special hours throughout the week for visitors to attend special programs and view the museum’s current exhibitions, which include: Hurvin Anderson: Passenger Opportunity , a monumental painting drawing inspiration from Caribbean immigration stories; Calida Rawles: Away with the Tides , which delves into the particular experience of people in Miami’s Overtown community; Xican-a.o.x. Body , the major exhibition showcasing Chicano artists who foreground the body as a site of political agency and imagination, artistic investigation, and alternative forms of community; Jason Seife: Coming to Fruition featuring site-specific works including a custom wallpaper, triptychs, and a large-scale canvas; Every Sound is a Shape of Time , a dynamic group exhibition of works from the museum’s collection made between 1958 and 2020; and One Becomes Many , the museum’s first presentation of works by Brazilian artists from its collection. On Thursday, the museum will host PAMM Presents , its annual Art Week bash, featuring the global collective HOMECOMING™ curated by Grace Ladoja with an international lineup of Amaarae , DJ Tunez , and Dare Balogun , complemented with DJ sets by Miami’s very own music makers SATURNSARii , Kumi and Lumin . The annual party celebrates PAMM as a collecting institution with an ongoing mission to promote artistic expression and the exchange of ideas to advance public knowledge and appreciation of art, architecture, and design, while representing and cherishing the unique diversity of Miami-Dade. Additional Miami Art Week 2024 programming highlights include a dynamic conversation on the role of art criticism in the digital age, with New York Magazine ’s Jerry Saltz and Instagram icon Jerry Gogosian (Hilde Lynn Helphenstein) ; a meditative soundbath by Project For Empty Space and Commissioner, as part of BODY FREEDOM FOR EVERY(BODY) ; and a special tour of the museum led by Black Girls in Art Spaces (BGIAS) . See below for the full programming schedule. MIAMI ART WEEK PROGRAMMING AT PAMM Monday, December 2 Scholl Lecture Series Jerry Gogosian (Hilde Lynn Helphenstein) x Jerry Saltz x Natalia Zuluaga 3–4pm Kick off Miami Art Week with a panel exploring performance as art criticism featuring art world Instagram icon Jerry Gogosian (Hilde Lynn Helphenstein) and New York Magazine Senior Art Critic Jerry Saltz, moderated by Miami-based writer, editor, and curator Natalia Zuluaga. This engaging conversation delves into the evolving role of art criticism in the digital age, examining how online culture and tools are reshaping art criticism practice today. The panel will explore how internet discourse aligns—or clashes—with what’s capturing attention at art fairs this week.RSVP here . Tuesday, December 3 Art & Insight: A Talk with Kate Capshaw, Sergei Grant, and Franklin Sirmans 12:30–1:30pm Utilizing the genre of portrait painting—one of the oldest traditions of human picture making—Kate Capshaw creates artworks that explore the socioeconomics of the contemporary moment in America through the narrative of an individual. Her previous work, Unaccompanied , is an ongoing series of portraits that give voice to those who are often voiceless, unhoused youth. For this new installation at PAMM, Capshaw has engaged in a months-long conversation with Sergei (Sirj) Grant, who was born in North Miami Beach and graduated from Carol City Senior High School in Miami Gardens, on the northern edge of Miami-Dade County. Grant, an entrepreneurial barber plying his trade all around Miami, also teaches and mentors young barbers. His story is one of challenge met with triumph and will be highlighted in this special exhibition. Seating will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. The conversation will be live-streamed on YouTube Live and available post-program. Simultaneous interpretation into American Sign Language, Haitian Creole, and Spanish will be available. RSVP here . Wednesday, December 4 Black Girls in Art Spaces Tour 3–5pm Join Black Girls in Art Spaces (BGIAS) for a tour of select works currently on view at the museum. Black Girls in Art Spaces is a dynamic, global platform dedicated to supporting and amplifying the voices of Black girls, women, and non-binary individuals in the arts.

It’s the day after Thanksgiving, the tryptophan  has worn off, and there are towers of Tupperware  filled with turkey, stuffing and potatoes in your fridge. If you rely on your microwave, you might simply resign yourself to eating the same meal, over and over again, until the leftovers run out. Leftovers, as one French chef put it, ‘can be as good as, if not better than, the first time they are served.’ Tom Grundy/Shutterstock.com But you don’t have to get stuck in a cycle of nuke and repeat. This Thanksgiving, take inspiration from the French, who saw leftovers as an outlet for creativity. My research on the history of French home cooking reveals how restyling dinner scraps first became fashionable more than a century ago. Reheating ‘with art and discernment In 19th-century France, leftovers were a way of life for the lower classes . In the countryside, the broth from the evening beef stew would become the basis of breakfast the next morning. In cities, street hawkers known as “ arlequins ” purchased dinner scraps from restaurants and rich households to resell them to the poor. For these Frenchmen and -women, repurposing previous meals wasn’t about style but survival. Because of their association with poverty, leftovers were stigmatized up until the late 19th century. But by the turn of the 20th century, it had become hip to whip something up with the remains from last night’s meal. In 1892, French chef Alfred Suzanne wrote that “there are dishes which, when reheated with art and discernment, transformed with taste and presented in an appetizing manner… can be as good as, if not better than, the first time they are served.” In the preface to his encyclopedic cookbook, “ 150 Ways to Accommodate Leftovers ,” the former chef to British royalty declared that the “deep-seated prejudice that many people have” against leftovers was “an error.” Suzanne’s colleagues and culinary connoisseurs concurred. French food critic Fulbert-Dumonteil praised the chef for explaining “all the ingenious and charming ways to restore mutilated bits and pieces from epic feasts” and turn “cumbersome remains” into something that delights the palate. Marketing to the masses Why did “leftovers” make the leap from insipid plates peddled by “arlequins” to inspired dishes perfected by culinary artists? In 1882, France’s new republican government passed legislation mandating education for all children ages 6 to 13. Many public schoolchildren came from the lower and lower-middle classes, and educators designed home economics lessons with this in mind . Girls learned how to preserve and prepare their leftovers safely, nutritiously and economically. They were also taught that their talent for accommodating leftovers was a reflection of their thrift and resourcefulness – the markers of middle-class French femininity . As the percentage of literate females spiked in France, the publishing industry pounced on this potential market. The late 19th century saw more and more domestic manuals aimed at “ménagères” – wives and mothers from the working and lower-middle classes. Many guides featured a chapter on fixing leftovers, while some, such as “ 100 Ways to Accommodate Leftovers ” and “ The Art of Accommodating Leftovers, Dedicated to Those of Meager Means ,” made revamping remains their central focus. France’s top chefs join in In the 1890s top chefs also started to contribute recipes to domestic cooking magazines. This genre of culinary literature proliferated in the late 19th century during a period of rapid growth for the popular press. Chefs wanted to appeal to a wide audience, and their contributions ranged from columns on economical cooking to instructions for assembling “ pièces montées ,” which are elaborate edifices made of confections. Many of these journals designated a special section for accommodating leftovers, with titles like “Utilizing Leftovers” and “Delicious Ways to Accommodate the Scraps.” William Orpen’s ‘Le Chef de l'Hôtel Chatham, Paris’ (1921). Royal Academy of Arts The repetitive nomenclature belies the range of the recipes printed under these rubrics. Some were simple and modest and reflected the original rationale for leftovers, which was economical. For example, a July 1907 recipe for “Lisette’s Cake” in the magazine Family Cooking offered a sweet solution for yesterday’s bread. The cook needed only to soak the loaf in sweetened milk, strain the mixture through a fine sieve, add two eggs and bake in the oven for 20 minutes. But some recipes got complicated and costly. Family Cooking also published a leftovers recipe for “Veal à la Russe,” which required, in addition to veal chops, a quarter pound of butter, anchovies, tomato coulis, jus and truffles for garnish. The Cordon Bleu Magazine suggested repurposing leftover pheasant in a way that required an hour of boiling in fine demi-glace and two hours of cooling on ice, before being pureed by hand, seasoned, molded and fried. Such recipes would hardly qualify as time- or cost-saving. But practicality wasn’t the only point anymore. Scholars have shown how women at the turn of the century read popular and prescriptive literature as a “ form of escapism ” that encouraged them to “ fantasize ” about what modern domestic life could be. By turning leftovers into an art form, early home cooking magazines inspired a modern generation of home cooks to be creative and think critically about cooking. And they left their legacy to us and our leftovers. A leftover turkey recipe adapted from Alfred Suzanne’s ‘150 Ways to Accommodate Leftovers.’ Samantha Presnal, Author provided So this year, instead of scraping together another tiresome turkey sandwich, try a turkey recipe adapted from Alfred Suzanne’s “150 Ways to Accommodate Leftovers.” By Samantha Presnal Fellow, Center for Humanistic Inquiry, Amherst College.

Elinor Carrucci, from The Collars of RBG, All Rights Reserved (top) 2015- State of Union Address Collar, 2020 (bottom) South American Collar “I see this project as being (very) personal,” said Carucci. “Ruth Bader Ginsburg held special significance for Jewish women like me who dreamed of living a life that combined career success with (service to community). She represented my identity, values, and connection to America - and the values I hope to one day hand over to my daughter, [who, like Ginsburg,] is an American Jew, the child of an immigrant.” At The Betsy’s signature restaurant, LT Steak & Seafood, which also serves as one of the Hotel’s most visible and visited exhibition spaces, the curated photo collection is the work of Lillian Bassman (1917-2012) — a celebrated contemporary of Richard Avedon and Irving Penn, known as the most important fashion woman fashion photographer of the last century.
