The Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum-FIU unveils its newest exhibition lineup for the summer, featuring four shows spanning artistic mediums, eras, and geographic regions to encapsulate fleeting glimpses of life across time. They include: How We Remember: Photographs by Christine Cortes, Joel Meyerowitz, Ruth Orkin, and Roscoè B. Thické III (on view from May 10, 2023 through Sept. 12, 2023) explores multifaceted subjects and approaches to photography, with an emphasis on archiving memories, preserving feelings, and marking milestones. Miami-based photographers Christine Cortes and Roscoè B. Thické III depict communities in Bogotá, Colombia and the South Florida communities of Liberty City and Miami Gardens. New Yorkbased artist Joel Meyerowitz’s captivating photographs document the insurmountable strength and acts of courage in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks. Allegories for Learning: 16th to 18th-Century Italian Works on Paper from the Georgia Museum of Art (on view from June 10, 2023 through Sept. 10, 2023), launches the Frost’s summer of drawing with more than 25 drawings and prints by Old Masters including Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione, Salvator Rosa, and Guercino. The exhibited works come from the Georgia Museum of Art and from the private collection of Giuliano Ceseri. These works depict subject matter ranging from landscapes to mythological and religious scenes. The exhibition urges close looking at styles of individual artists and workshops. Allegories for Learning encourages visitors to engage with masterworks by making connections among the works on view, offering interpretations, and fine-tuning observational skills. Draw: Point to Point (on view from June 17, 2023 through Sept. 17, 2023) explores, celebrates, and plays with conventional concepts of drawing as a form of artistic expression. The exhibition pushes the boundaries of material and scale, revealing the versatile nature of the medium as both an integral part of the artistic process and a powerful statement about mark making. Point to Point illustrates connections between the work of local, national and international artists at various stages of their careers. It features an interactive installation by contemporary artist Rirkrit Tiravanija and new work by Kiki Smith. Works by Miami-based artists including Gonzalo Fuenmayor, Victoria Ravelo, Amy Schissel, and Cornelius Tulloch reveal their individual approaches to drawing as an end and a means to an end. Amy Sillman, After Metamorphoses (on view from June 10, 2023 through Sept. 10, 2023), a five-minute animated video, picks up the thread of drawing, produced with layers of abstract drawings and iPad sketches. Developed during the artist’s residency at the American Academy in Rome, Sillman follows the narrative of the Roman poet Ovid’s Metamorphoses (8 CE). Sillman renders forms with an economy of line that morph and transform quickly to reflect life’s constant changes. “The Frost’s summer exhibitions invite us to reflect on the fragility, fluidity, and fleeting quality of time expressed in different media. As our visitors navigate these diverse expressions of time, they may find points of connection, such as the moment they heard about the collapse of the World Trade Center. Drawing has equally lent itself to capturing time or an idea, sometimes as a simple scrawl on a napkin or a more complex composition that takes months to complete. As a part of FIU, our educational mission includes representing a diverse group of artists who span geographies and eras,” said Jordana Pomeroy, director of the Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum-FIU. The Frost will host an opening ceremony for all its summer exhibitions on June 17, 2023 from 1 to 5 p.m. The event takes place at the Frost Art Museum, located at 10975 SW 17 Street and is free and open to the public.

Durée & Company, a Fort Lauderdale and Aspen full-service public relations and marketing firm, has been selected as a Bronze level winner for “Best Crisis Management,” 2023 Bulldog Reporter Awards. The firm received the designation for its crisis communication work with Sea Tow, a premier leader of on-water assistance, and that company’s response to September 2022’s Hurricane Ian. Bulldog Reporter is a prestigious trade organization that accepts nominations for its annual awards across a number of competitive categories. Durée & Company’s office is headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, the boating capital of the world and an epicenter for marine companies. The year 2023 marks the firm’s second year working with Sea Tow, as a result of a successful first year serving as its PR agency of record. While the campaign was originally directed to secure national press, elevate awareness and drive memberships to this franchise-modeled company, not long into the campaign, Hurricane Ian pummeled Florida’s southwest coast. Durée & Company proactively pitched media to secure national press and elevate awareness by successfully inserting Sea Tow into national stories to showcase its strengths in recovery and salvage. The firm positioned Sea Tow as an organization with the experience and know-how to effectively respond after a catastrophe. It also communicated safety measures and protocols to avoid potentially dangerous situations by leaning on Sea Tow’s executive team and local captains as an authoritative voice to educate media. Media placements in high-profile publications and broadcasts throughout the campaign included Associated Press, The Wall Street Journal, The Weather Channel, The TODAY Show and much more. In addition, Sea Tow was recognized with a Neptune Award Honorable Mention in the Public Relations Campaign category for its Hurricane Ian Response campaign. “It is a great honor to be selected as a winner of the 2023 Bulldog PR Awards,” said Durée Ross, president and founder of Durée & Company. “This award is for work we did in our first year serving as the agency of record with Sea Tow, and we are happy to embark on a second year of working with the company. It is a testament to our firm’s growing marine practice and our work with a number of notable companies in the marine/boating industry.” “Durée & Company has been an invaluable agency partner to Sea Tow. The team is proactive, extremely responsive, and true professionals at their trade. After Hurricane Ian they were able to help Sea Tow tell the story of not only vessel recovery and salvage, but of how Sea Tow supported the community after catastrophe struck,” said Jennifer Waters, Sea Tow director of marketing and communications.

The Miami Beach City Commission Meeting took an important step forward with their vote to collaborate with SOBE SEA, LLC, an affiliate of The Ritz Carlton-Sagamore ownership group, on a public-private partnership to make urgent improvements to the 100–300 blocks of Lincoln Road. The Ritz Carlton-Sagamore ownership group consists of the Kanavos, Ben-Josef, and Lowenstein families. In the vote, the commission agreed to the terms of a $12 million financial plan that brings private and public sector partners together through equal funding of $4 million by the developer, $4 million by the City of Miami Beach, and $4 million that will be requested during the state of Florida’s appropriation process by the developer. The ownership group will also invest additional private funds into the project with a new public sidewalk and an updated guest arrival area for The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach. Revitalizing the 100–300 blocks of Lincoln Road has been a community desire for many years as residents, businesses and visitors have witnessed crime, homelessness, and visual blight in the area. The redevelopment of the eastern portion of the city’s pedestrian-only thoroughfare, includes repositioning the site as a mixed-use area with a new residential component. A major investment in infrastructure will address traffic, functionality, aesthetics, and safety. It will also update underground infrastructure to mitigate flooding and potential sanitary issues. “My partners and I had the dream of a transformed city center that is safe, welcoming, and beautiful for residents and visitors alike, and we were clear in our vision and mission to get it done,” said Peter Kanavos, an owner of The Ritz-Carlton-Sagamore Group. “I then had the good fortune to meet Commissioner Alex Fernandez, who had long shared the same vision and a deep commitment to achieving progress for an area that desperately needs public-private partnerships. It goes beyond investments in the neighborhood. It’s about public safety. We are grateful for the opportunity, along with Commissioner Fernandez, to be the catalysts for the needed changes in our neighborhood.” “I have been championing the need to invest in improving the aesthetics and safety of this three-block stretch of iconic Lincoln Road since 2019, before being elected,” shared Miami Beach Commissioner Alex Fernandez. “We look forward to rolling out the red carpet on Lincoln Road with this project to enhance the resident and visitor experience while completing the vision of legendary architect Morris Lapidus. No one is better positioned to keep the area beautiful, clean, and programmed with positive activations than the abutting stakeholder. Not only does this revitalization benefit The Ritz-Carlton, but it’s also a long-awaited win for surrounding condo residents as the 200 and 300 blocks will transform into a safer pedestrian walkway and ultimately improve the quality of retail establishments”. The project now advances for approval by the Miami Beach Historic Preservation Board this September. For more information, click HERE. By ML Staff. Image by MBC
