As Art Week Miami is here! Don't miss the following much anticipated exhibits happening at The Ritz-Carlton Bal Harbour, Miami and The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach. The Ritz-Carlton Bal Harbour, Miami - Our Legacy The Ritz-Carlton Bal Harbour, Miami presents Our Legacy by Israeli - born artist Ronen Azulay. The exhibition presents a deep and personal tapestry of Ronen's family history, showing traces of the origins of a union that transcended tribal boundaries, a testament to love's power to bridge divides. As Ronen examined his family lineage, he discovered an ever-changing world – one marked by escalating intra-Jewish tensions that necessitated the concealment of our roots, particularly the precious North African heritage. This body of work comes from profound self-discovery. The mosaics are painstakingly assembled from cherished recycled fabrics and scraps of leather, generously bestowed upon Ronen by his community. In this pivotal moment, we are entrusted with shaping future generations. How will history judge our behavior, our actions. Our Legacy. Images courtesy of Ronen Azulay Ronen Azulay is an Israeli-born artist, living and working in New York City. Informed by his early career as a men’s fashion designer, his practice examines the role of the consumer in our world of mass production. Using repurposed cast-off denim, leather, and textiles, Azulay’s work actively disrupts the relentless cycle of manufacturing and consumption. With his technical skills and informed eye, Ronen further processes and transforms the materials and incorporates found objects to create a new vernacular in his work. Guests are invited to view this exhibition on Tuesday, December 5th from 6:00 - 9:00 p.m. The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach - My Home Twenty years after its opening, The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach is welcoming Morris Lapidus My Home, an exhibition of artwork and furniture by famed architect Morris Lapidus to be displayed at the hotel during Art Basel|Miami Beach, Miami Art Week and Design Miami 2023.

Image courtesy of The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach For the first time, The Bass will lend art objects and furniture pieces from Lapidus’ home to the Ritz-Carlton, South Beach. Among the objets d’art included in the exhibit at The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach are Lapidus’ glass dining room table; a coffee table he carved in the form of a Roman sculpture he discovered during his school days in front of the Plaza Hotel in New York City; six porcelain masks he modeled from clay in 1929, mounted on gold frames; light fixtures including a 20th century chandelier he crafted to create the illusion of height in his dining room as well as a sparkling effect with cascading crystals and palm leaves that allow light to create designs on the ceiling; personal paintings; and more.

Colombian-born fine-art photographer Juan Sebastian is debuting “With the Voices of Other Eternals'' at SCOPE Miami Beach in partnership with photo basel, Switzerland’s first and only art fair dedicated to photography based art, from December 5-10, 2023. Sebastian will showcase 7 evocative and theatrical life size portraits of veiled bodies shot in grand landscapes. The collection invites viewers to connect with their lost childhood fantasies, sparking a collective reflection on the delicate balance between wonder and disillusionment, and the bittersweet realization that accompanies adulthood. Inspired by the magical realism found in the works of literary luminaries such as Gabriel García Márquez and Isabel Allende, Sebastian masterfully blurs the boundaries between dreams and reality. Through his unique lens, he conjures a visual symphony where light and dark harmonize, unveiling the fantastical essence of both dreams and the subconscious. Above all, theater is the beating heart of Sebastian's artistry, guiding him in the choreography of veils and revelations. His haunting and ineffable photographs explore concepts of heritage, sexuality, and taboo, unfurling the transformative power of self-discovery. Each portrait, shrouded in ambiguity and mystery, challenges preconceived notions of selfhood, gender, and narrative. Juan Sebastian immigrated to Miami at the age of 17. Sebastian earned an MFA from the University of Miami where during his graduate studies he took on the role of Professor. Sebastian’s passion for theater, fashion, and literature have woven the threads of fantasy and artistry into the tapestry of his life, influences that resound deeply in his captivating photographic creations. Upon graduating in 2019, he continued his journey as a Professor at Istituto Marangoni, solidifying his commitment to both his art and the education of aspiring talents. Sebastian's photographs were recognized at the international art exhibition "SELF MEMORIES," in 2015 held alongside the prestigious Venice Biennale. There, three of his photographs, deeply rooted in his memories, experiences, and literary musings, showcased an intimate exploration of the human form. In particular, his enigmatic masterpiece, "One Piece Man," freezes life's fleeting movements, inviting viewers to contemplate the fragility of existence and its spatial boundaries. In 2020, during the pandemic when most artists were struggling to have a place to create and store their work, Sebastian started Galeria Subtitulo, a gallery that supports artists of the Americas through remote residencies. Lorena Torres, an artist that Galeria Subtitulo represents, was recently featured in Victoria’s Secret ‘VS Tour 23’ documentary. She has passionately stated that “if it wasn’t for this initiative, I would have stopped painting.” Today, Galeria Subtitulo continues to support artists and their artwork representing a diversity of cultures, experiences, media, and styles. Sebastian is currently writing his first photobook. The fundamental axes of his work explores self-portrait as a search for identity; time as the photographer’s reflection; the body as the space for intimacy; and fashion as a feature that shows simulation, theater, and death. Each series in his photobook represents the subversive dream worlds of Juan Sebastian, made up of elements that shaped him, from the formative genre of the magical realism literary writers who inspired him, to satirical theater, fashion, and his ephemeral early work. Each series in his debut photobook functions as a unique study of the body and its theatricality, as well as death and mysticism. Sebastian’s photobook will be available for presale Summer 2024 on juansebastian.com. Sebastian’s work has been exhibited in New York, Miami, Venice, Barranquilla, Toronto, Orlando, and Palm Beach. He has collaborated with brands including Silvia Tcherassi and DelPozo. Instagram: @juansebastianf By ML Staff. Images courtesy of Juan Sebastian

Despite the rigors of the NHL schedule, which includes games, practice, or travel nearly every day, Florida Panthers captain Aleksander “Sasha” Barkov still found time to spend with some of his biggest fans. Avery Cohen, Sasha Barkov Patients at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital in Hollywood were thrilled to interact with one of the league’s best players in the hospital’s Garth Brooks Teammates for Kids Child Life Zone. Barkov took photos, signed autographs, and played games with children hospitalized with serious medical conditions. The visit was the latest in a series of trips Barkov has made to the pediatric facility since 2019, and came with a $97,600 check presentation to the Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital Foundation. The Florida Panthers center recently concluded the fourth year of the #BarkovScores4JoeD philanthropy campaign, which includes a $1,600 donation for each goal he scores and $800 for each assisted on. The nearly $100,000 donation was the result of the 28 goals and 66 assists tallied by Barkov during the 2022-23 regular season and playoffs. "I really value my partnership with Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital and am very happy they are part of the Florida Panthers family,” said Barkov. “It has been a great four years and I’m very proud to witness the expansion of the hospital, and the ability this amazing team of professionals now have to provide even more complex care to the South Florida community and beyond." Kevin Janser, Don Eachus, Aleksander Barkov, Caitlin Stella, Brett Rose To date, Barkov’s contributions to programs and services that benefit kids and families at the children’s hospital total $313,600.

Updates on the alliance between the hockey star and Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital will be chronicled throughout the season on the children’s hospital’s social media sites on Facebook and Instagram. Fans can also search #BarkovScores4JoeD. Barkov has won the NHL’s Frank J. Selke trophy, signifying the game’s best defensive forward, and the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy, which is awarded to the NHL player that combines sportsmanship, gentlemanly conduct, and a high standard of playing ability. He was the second overall pick in the 2013 draft and has played his entire NHL career for the Panthers.

Sean Kelly is delighted to return to Art Basel Miami Beach at the Miami Beach Convention Center. Anthony Akinbola: Deeper, 2023 Our booth showcases a dynamic selection of painting, sculpture, photography, and works on paper from the gallery’s international roster of artists, including new Camouflage paintings by Anthony Akinbola constructed from stretched, draped and layered pieces of multi-colored durags; Julian Charrière’s large-scale heliograph’s on highly polished stainless-steel plates depicting Los Angeles oil fields; Jose Dávila’s signature cut out photographs, which appropriate images from Richard Prince’s Cowboys series; Awol Erizku’s large-scale painting adorned with sports iconography of the Miami Hurricanes, which draws inspiration from the addition, removal, and obfuscation of logos associated with street culture; new paintings by Laurent Grasso that depict plant mutations in the style of 18th and 19th century botanical plates; the sophisticated photographic compositions of beautifully detailed architectural spaces by Candida Höfer; Ilse D’Hollander’s paintings, which employ linear compositions, intense shifts in colors, and textured surfaces to highlight the dialogue between representation and abstraction; richly vibrant paintings and a totemic cast aluminum sculpture by Donna Huanca, whose work explores the human body and the natural world through mark-making and raw materials; Callum Innes’ Exposed Painting, which reveals a variety of rich colors buried within seemingly monochromatic pigments on canvas; a large-scale photo-based work by Idris Khan, which layers multiple musical scores on an aluminum panel, emphasizing the passage of time and music’s universal visual language; new abstract paintings by Hugo McCloud, which find beauty in everyday construction materials, including tar paper and single use plastic; a new photo-painting from Mariko Mori’s ongoing Genesis series, visualizing the invisible light that reaches every part of the world, which are inspired by drawings of the oldest creation myth in Japan; macro photographs of peeling paint and the deterioration of post-wall Berlin by Frank Thiel reflecting recent social and political histories; lyrical abstract paintings by Janaina Tschäpe, canvases characterized by gestural mark-making and expressive surfaces; a new Kehinde Wiley painting, which blurs the boundaries between traditional and contemporary modes of racial representation situated within the traditions of art history portraiture; and Wu Chi-Tsung’s masterful Cyano-Collages, which blend traditions of Eastern “Shan Shui” painting with Western photographic techniques to create hypnotic landscapes. Idris Khan: Between the Curtain and the Glass, 2022 Candida Höfer: Teatro Comunale di Carpi IV, 2011 Janaina Tschäpe: Blue meadow (respirando azul), 2023 This year Sean Kelly has been invited by Art Basel Miami Beach to participate in the inaugural edition of Access, a curated sale in which 10 percent of the sales price of Wu Chi-Tsung’s Cyano Collage 182, 2023, will be donated to The International Committee of the Red Cross and The Miami Foundation. Callum Innes: Exposed Painting Caribbean Turquoise, 2022 For the 2023 Meridians section, Sean Kelly New York/Los Angeles and Vielmetter Los Angeles co-present an ambitious, site-specific installation debuting a new series of eight large plastic paintings by Hugo McCloud inspired by his relocation to Los Angeles from Mexico. This new body of work centers on the ubiquitous, colorful fruit cart vendor umbrellas found throughout the city of Los Angeles. McCloud draws inspiration from the simultaneous connotations of hope and displacement, labor and pleasure, color and grit, which these umbrellas signify, using them as metaphors for his experience rebuilding a life and home in this new environment. McCloud’s controlled and delicate manipulation of non-traditional multi-colored single use plastic transforms this quotidian, often overlooked material into a rich innovative form of contemporary pigment that gives new life to an often-discarded object. Whereas McCloud’s earlier works depict scenes of physical labor —vendors transporting towering piles of goods by bicycle or on foot and workers carrying loads of building materials and fruit—these new paintings indicate labor, though the figure is absent. The paintings will be installed on two parallel walls, recalling an avenue or alley way. The walls feature a unique printed vinyl mural in muted tones of gray, sourced from McCloud’s own photo documentation of Los Angeles’ streets, its subdued tone offsetting the optimism of the colorful umbrellas. Frank Thiel: Stadt 12/88 (Berlin), 2007 For more information on the artists and works presented, please visit skny.com For all inquiries, please contact the gallery at 212.239.1181 For more information on the fair, including hours and ticketing information, please visit artbasel.com/miami-beach Instagram: @seankellygallery Wu Chi-Tsung: Cyano-Collage 182, 2023 By ML staff.
