- LACMA Announces 2023 Art+Film Gala Honoring Artist Judy Baca And Filmmaker David Fincher
The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) announces the date and honorees of its 2023 Art+Film Gala. On Saturday, November 4, LACMA will honor Judy Baca and David Fincher. LACMA trustee Eva Chow and actor Leonardo DiCaprio have championed the museum’s film initiatives since 2011, and will continue their efforts as the 2023 Art+Film Gala Co-Chairs. Gucci continues its invaluable partnership with the museum as the presenting sponsor of the annual event. Additional support for the gala is provided by Audi. The 12th Annual Event, Held on Saturday, November 4, 2023, Is Co-Chaired by Eva Chow and Leonardo DiCaprio and Presented by Gucci “Judy Baca is one of the most important American artists working today. Drawing inspiration from her hometown of Los Angeles, Baca gives permanence to local histories through her monumental artworks, such as The Great Wall of Los Angeles. We are thrilled to honor Judy for her achievements, for her commitment to public art, and for her impact in the cultural landscape of Los Angeles and beyond,” said Michael Govan, LACMA CEO and Wallis Annenberg Director. “Through his award-winning films, David Fincher tells compelling stories and sheds light on human psychology. His unique vision pulls audiences deeper into his cinematic world. We look forward to honoring Judy and David this November and celebrating the important role that art and film plays in telling human stories.” The museum is pleased to announce that new work by Judy Baca will debut in a solo exhibition opening this fall at LACMA. “We look forward to celebrating Judy Baca and David Fincher’s careers and accomplishments at this year’s Art+Film Gala,” said Gala Co-Chair Eva Chow. “Since the inception of this event, Gucci has been our longstanding partner and we’re grateful for their continued support.” Proceeds from the annual Art+Film Gala go toward underwriting LACMA’s initiative to make film more central to the museum’s curatorial programming, while also funding LACMA’s broader mission. This includes exhibitions, acquisitions, and educational programming that explore the intersection of art and film. 2023 Art+Film Honorees More on Judy Baca As one of America’s leading visual artists, Dr. Judy Baca has created public art for four decades. In 1974, Baca founded the City of Los Angeles’s first mural program, which produced over 400 murals, employed thousands of local participants, and evolved into an arts organization—the Social and Public Art Resource Center (SPARC). She continues to serve as SPARC’s artistic director while promoting social justice and participatory public art projects. Her most well-known work is The Great Wall of Los Angeles. Located in the San Fernando Valley, the mural spans half a mile and is still a work in progress that is engaging another generation of youth. The mural-making process has exemplified community involvement, employing more than 400 youth and their families from diverse social and economic backgrounds, artists, oral historians, and scholars. In 2017 The Great Wall of Los Angeles received national recognition on the National Registry of Historic Places by the U.S. Department of the Interior. Baca is a recipient of the Guggenheim Fellowship, the United States Artist Rockefeller Fellowship, and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Grant for the expansion of The Great Wall. Most recently, she was honored with the 2021 National Medal of Arts. Baca makes art shaped by an interactive relationship of history, people, and place. Her public artworks focus on revealing and reconciling peoples’ struggles for their rights and affirming the community’s connections to place. Together, she co-creates “sites of public memory.” More on David Fincher A leading figure in contemporary cinema, David Fincher is an award-winning filmmaker known for his meticulous craftsmanship and distinctive visual style. Fincher’s notable feature films include Se7en (1995), Fight Club (1999), Zodiac (2007), The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008), The Social Network (2010), The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (2011), Gone Girl (2014), Panic Room (2002); and Mank (2020). In addition to his films, Fincher’s creative oeuvre includes directing commercials, music videos, and television shows, including House of Cards (2013–18) and Mindhunter (2017–19).

- South Florida-Based Bare Knuckle Fighting Powerhouse BYB Extreme Announces BYB 18 in London
BYB Extreme Fighting Series is expanding to an international audience with its June 25, 2023 BYB 18 Inaugural Police Gazette International Cup in London. The event will take place at 4 p.m. BST at London’s Indigo at the O2. BYB Extreme CEO Gregory Bloom, with 20 years’ experience in combat sports as an attorney, promoter and manager, said, “We’re thrilled that bare knuckle fighting continues to gain momentum worldwide. It is exciting to be back in London as we continue to garner global visibility for this sport. BYB has put together one of its strongest cards to date and we are looking forward to continuing to expand our brand as the #1 promotional company in the bare knuckle space.” The card will consist of nine match-ups featuring US fighters against UK fighters, with the team scoring the majority of victories to be awarded the Police Gazette International Cup. The current BYB v BKB lineup (subject to change) is: Tommy Turner v Barrie Jones (C) Jarome Hatch (C) v Marko Martinjak Will Chope v Tom Stokes Shelby Cannon v Tamlyn Kappen LT Nelson v Dan McGraffin Robert Serna v George Hillyard Jon Barnard v Tony Lafferty Matthew Phillips v Paul Hilz Ryan Jett v Martin Reffell To purchase tickets for the Inaugural Police Gazette International Cup, visit https://bybextreme.com/byb-18. BYB events provide quick, action-filled bouts in the smallest fighting surface in combat sports, known as BYB’s patented “Trigon”. Fights are decided by the fighters and not the judges, with a 90% knock-out/finish rate. BYB Extreme Fighting Series is a bare knuckle fighting organization founded in 2015 by former MMA fighter and current brand ambassador Dhafir ("Dada 5000") Harris, and former NASCAR team owner Mike Vazquez, whose HRT Motorsports was NASCAR's first Hispanic team. BYB’s success can be attributed to its management team with more than 50 years of combined experience in the combat sports industry. From its onset, BYB has created its own stars, rather than relying on stars from other disciplines without long-term interest in bare knuckle fighting. The result is fighters with solid reputations, promoted through professionalism and respect. For more information on BYB, visit bybextreme.com. By ML Staff. Image courtesy of BYB
- Inside the Art Studio with Artist Vasily Klyukin
Vasily Klyukin has had many studios across the globe, whether it’s his home in balmy Monaco, on the French Riviera, in Nice, or previously in Moscow. “But the most important studio I have is always me – in my head,” said the artist. The artist does sketches on his phone through the Notes app, takes an idea and runs with it. “The final image of my works can take from three minutes to three years to complete,” he said. Klyukin was born in Moscow in 1976. He became an Israeli citizen in 2004. He came into the art world from the world of business. He was a businessman in the financial sector, and in 2009, was involved in real estate development, repurposing properties, and reconstructing buildings. But 2011 was a pivotal year for the artist. He abandoned his business, and devoted his life to art. He got an art studio and began to paint. He had no map, just followed his intuition of what to do next. In 2013, he let his mind roam free and created a series of digital architecture called Designing Legends, creating world-famous buildings in the digital space. No doubt, this series was ahead of its time, as many of the pieces from this series look like buildings we would find in the metaverse today. His sculpture The Golden Madonnina won the official Design Prize award at Milan Design Week in 2017, and his Beating Heart sculpture was a fan favorite at the Burning Man Festival in Nevada in 2018. And in 2018, he had a solo exhibition at the The State Russian Museum. Many of his artworks focus on environmental problems. “I hope when visitors see my work, they become considerate of the environmental degradation that they are forcing future generations to endure,” he said. “Now it’s a time of changes, a time when we need to make a serious decision about pollution. We can’t wait any longer. We are responsible. In the past few years, we’ve seen a lot of changes, it’s become a bigger problem. Most people don’t know about the huge Pacific Garbage Patch in the ocean.” His artworks are collected in Monaco, England, Russia, France, Germany, Spain and the U.S., and has celebrity art collectors like Eva Longoria, Charles Saatchi, and Albert II, Prince of Monaco. “The final construction of my pieces can be in any country around the world; the materials I use are from Germany, Italy – anywhere,” said Klyukin. “Most of my works are complex constructions that include many parts. When the sculpture is put together, for me, it’s a canvas, so there’s still work to do. I must paint it.” Klyukin is not only an artist but a philanthropist who has donated his sculptures to be sold at charity auctions, like at UNICEF, the World Wildlife Fund, the amfAR gala, the Andrea Bocelli Foundation, the Prince Albert II Foundation, and the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation. He has been based in Europe since 2010. Klyukin is known for making architectural works, large-scale abstract sculptures, and kinetic art. His artworks are mostly made of polycarbonate, plywood, glass, steel, and acrylic paint, though some sculptures are made of brass. One, which is called “413” (Triunfo del Sol), is on view in Malaga, Spain, for example. This very piece is a symbol for his entire career, it's an eye-like rounded 3D sculpture. Many of his artworks look like oversized eyes, and they offer insight not only into the artist’s inner world, but our own inner world, too. We first caught wind of his work when he showcased his artworks at the 58th Venice Biennale in 2019, ahead of the 700th anniversary of Dante’s death in 2021. Set in the heart of the Arsenale Nord district of Venice, he showed In Dante Veritas, which is inspired by Dante’s Divine Comedy. It uses Dante’s 100 vices as a starting point, showcasing 30 sculptures that represent the vices we suffer the most from in modern day. They included flattery, gloom, and anger, as well as betrayal and pollution. “It’s not about sins, it’s about vices,” he said about the piece. “There’s a big difference; if you accept vices daily, it could become a sin,” said Klyukin. “When I smoke, I accept the vice of suicide. If I eat more than I should, I accept gluttony. The more vices you accept, the darker you are. But everyone can be strong inside.” Klyukin says that the “Betrayal” sculpture started the entire In Dante Veritas series. “I’m half-Russian, half-Israeli,” he said. “I took advice from advisors, religious figures. I asked a Rabbi, who said ‘You have to forgive people who betrayed you, otherwise you keep the evil going inside of you.’ Now, I don’t feel any more pain or anger.” He showcased his artworks at Art Basel Miami Beach in 2018 and 2021, respectively. “Miami is becoming more of an art hub, unlike any other city,” said Klyukin. “At Art Basel, it was an honor to be presented among so many outstanding artists.” He recently had a sprawling retrospective at the Osthaus Museum Hagen in Hagen, Germany, called Mind Space. Featuring over 250 works, it looked into the mind of the artist, and how he helps people realize the power of believing in the impossible and following their own dreams. “I’ve studied the museum space and was preparing for the exhibition for over a year, creating works specifically for this place, taking into account its scale and heights,” he said. “I was able to go all out, trying not to showcase separate art objects, but to turn each room into a single art space. I did something similar in Arsenale Nord during the Venice Biennale. It's also special because it’s the first ever museum of contemporary art in the world.” He also recently showed at the Osthaus Museum as part of their Innenleben (meaning “inner life”). The group exhibition looked at how artists view human experience, from self-portraits to portraits, and abstract works. This is where Klyukin showcased his artworks alongside 70 artists, including Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, and Andy Warhol, among others. “Two of my works that entered the museum's collection, including the homage to Joseph Beuys, called Joseph Beuys 100, are also shown at this exhibition,” said the artist. Today, the artist is represented by the Serge Sorokko Gallery in San Francisco, which is where he recently showcased his latest artworks in a solo exhibition. “This is the first time I’m being represented by an American art gallery, and I do hope that our collaboration will be long and productive,” said Klyukin. And one of his sculptures from his In Dante Veritas series called Gluttony was recently acquired by the Das Seewerk Museum in Moers Germany, as of May, and will be on permanent view. Like this piece, many of his artworks are assembled without welding, but rather, his signature technique is fastening the artworks together in a puzzle-like way. The other good news is that the artist’s Crypto series artworks will also be featured in the first-ever exhibition in the new contemporary art gallery in Jerusalem called the Tower of David Museum. This upcoming exhibition will be called The Navel of the World, which the artist calls “a multi-voiced and multi-sensory, physical and metaphysical exhibition.” Next up, he will be opening a solo exhibition in London this fall, so stay tuned. Klyukin will also return to Miami to showcase his artworks at Art Basel Miami Beach, something he looks forward to. “Miami is really awesome, but especially in December during Miami Art Week,” he said. “I love how the whole city turns into a giant art scene, where around every corner there is new art, everywhere you go. Hundreds of exhibitions turn the city into an art capital. In many ways, Miami is the capital of art. I’m so happy to take part in it.” Contact Vasily Klyukin @vasilyklyukin vklyukin.com www.sorokko.com www.tod.org.il/en/renewal By ML Staff.

- Dr. Wolf Reveals Miami’s Most in-Demand Cosmetic Procedures & Trends of the Summer
One of Miami’s very first and leading board certified facial plastic surgeons is celebrating 35 years of making Miami beautiful this month! In turn, Dr. Wolf AKA the “Nose Guy” of Miami, and his arsenal of talented facial, body, and skin experts are revealing the most in-demand cosmetic procedure trends of the last three decades as well as the top cosmetic procedures of 2023! Dr. Wolf from Miami Plastic Surgery® and has performed nearly 100,000 cosmetic procedures over the last 35 years. Now with three MPS offices in Miami and a patient clientele spanning across the world, he is revealing the top procedures Miamians have requested over the years to help them look and feel their best. #1. Botox and fillers: The results and cost for injectables make them the most approachable cosmetic procedures for a lot of people. You can achieve a lifted, refreshed look with very little downtime. The results last months for Botox to up to two years for fillers, so we are typically seeing patients recurrently. #2. Rhinoplasty: Many of the rhinoplasty procedures at Miami Plastic Surgery occur for younger folks – teenagers and college students mostly, after the nose stops growing – and again in the 30s and 40s. The recovery time for rhinoplasties is usually about a week, but the final results won't be fully realized until about a year later. #3. Blepharoplasty: Blepharoplasty is a type of surgery that removes excess skin from around the eyelids. This procedure is most popular for people in the 50s+ age category and can really help achieve a less tired look around the eye region. #4. Neck liposuction: Neck contouring with tools like liposuction can tighten the tissues around the neck and face to help define the chin. As we age, our skin heads south, and surgical procedures can help reverse the effects. As a non-surgical option, Morpheus8 is a fantastic alternative, helping tighten the skin and even help offset the need for surgical procedures. #5. Facelifts: When Botox and fillers alone just aren't cutting it, or a more permanent solution is desired, surgery can step in. While there's a trend of face lifts starting sooner (even in a person's 40s!), we typically advise against it. Nonsurgical techniques, from lasers to skincare to Morpheus8 can tighten the skin in the meantime when the skin is starting to lose its elasticity. We treat the most patients in their 60s as long as they are in good health. There’s a reason he’s become known for making Latin Americans and Miamians alike look “so damn good!” More on Miami Plastic Surgery® Miami Plastic Surgery is a cosmetic surgical and medspa facility dedicated to the mission of helping patients reach their cosmetic and aesthetic goals by providing an array of surgical, nonsurgical, and skin care services that help patients look and feel their best. MPS provides an array of services including breast augmentations, mommy makeovers, and facial surgeries including rhinoplasty and facelifts. Learn more https://miamiplasticsurgery.com/ By ML Staff.

Make it for breakfast and you’ll feel satisfied until lunchtime. WHAT YOU’LL NEED TO MAKE A BERRY, BANANA & POMEGRANATE SMOOTHIE Five simple ingredients are all you’ll need. As you can see, I buy bagged frozen berries. These are a great freezer staple because they keep for months on end, and are cheaper and more convenient than fresh berries. You can’t buy frozen bananas, so it’s a good idea to keep a stash of peeled ripe bananas in the freezer so you can make a smoothie whenever the mood strikes you. HOW TO MAKE A BERRY, BANANA & POMEGRANATE SMOOTHIE Simply combine all of the ingredients in a blender and purée until smooth. Depending on the type of blender you have and how powerful it is, you may need to stop and stir every once in a while to help it along. That’s all there is to it. Pour into glasses and enjoy!

Exhibitor Highlights/ Award Winners/ Design Miami/ is delighted to announce this year’s Best of Show award winners, selected by Lee Mindel (Architect), Simon Andrews (Advisor), and Grela Orihuela (Design Miami/ Senior Vice President of Fairs). Best Gallery Presentation: Galerie DOWNTOWN Francois Laffanour/ “The 2023 Best Gallery Presentation goes to LAFFANOUR- Galerie Downtown. Not just for this year's imaginative, thorough, and elegant celebration along with their juxtaposition of the world of Charlotte Perriand, Jean Prouvé, and current emerging artists, but for their continuous contribution that has set a very high bar at Design Miami/ Basel.” - Lee Mindel (Architect) Galerie DOWNTOWN Francois Laffanour at Design Miami/ Basel 2023.

Best Historic Work: Caryatides high table/ Diego Giacometti, circa 1976/ Courtesy of Galerie Jacques Lacoste/ “Diego Giacometti’s 1976 Caryatid table (Galerie Jacques Lacoste) is a sublime and masterful expression of an artist confident of his fluency. Of impressive scale and assured presence, the sensitively modeled bronze structure delineates space to command authority. Alongside his brother Alberto, the Giacometti's defined sculptural language to celebrate the poetry of timelessness.” - Simon Andrews (Advisor) Galerie Jacques Lacoste at Design Miami/ Basel 2023.

Best Contemporary Work: Bone Chair/ Joris Laarman, 2006/ Courtesy of Friedman Benda/ “Joris Laarman’s 2006 aluminum 'Bone chair' (Friedman Benda) synthesizes a mastery of technical innovation, inquisitive form, and pioneering material structure to deliver a new language for the twenty-first century. Since its launch at Design Miami in 2006, examples of the Bone Chair have been acquired by major European and American museums, underlining the ongoing importance of recognizing and nurturing new talent and providing the appropriate platforms to allow new thoughts to be shared.” - Simon Andrews (Advisor) Friedman Benda at Design Miami/ Basel 2023.

Partner Highlights/ Flap³ by Cyril Lancelin/ Cyril Lancelin is proud to present Flap³, an interactive artwork that explores the relationship between the viewer, the artwork, and technology. In partnership with Google and Design Miami/, Flap³ uses 12 Soli radar sensors - a miniature radar developed by Google ATAP that understands human motions at various scales - visitors can influence the form and create a unique ever-evolving shape through their movements and speed, resulting in a dialogue and gesture between the viewer and the artwork.
