The Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami (MOCA) is thrilled to announce the opening of the groundbreaking exhibition, "Lonnie Holley: If You Really Knew," which showcases the extraordinary work of renowned artist Lonnie Holley. Curated by Adeze Wilford, the exhibition marks the first major exhibition of the Birmingham-born artist in the South and will run from May 10 through October 1, 2023. "Lonnie Holley: If You Really Knew" offers a deep dive into Holley's remarkable career, spanning across mediums including sculpture, painting, and music. Holley's passion for inspiring change through art has resulted in an extensive and diverse body of work that explores critical moments in U.S. history, global environmental responsibility, and deeply personal memories. Holley shares, "My art confronts the past, engages with the present, and inspires change for the future. This exhibition allows me to share my journey and connect with viewers on a meaningful level." The exhibition features early sandstone sculptures, recent works on paper, and paintings on vintage quilts, showcasing Holley's talent for repurposing discarded objects and giving them new life. The faces that permeate many of his works encourage reflection on humanity's priorities and the privilege of being seen. Curator Adeze Wilford explains, "Lonnie Holley's art transforms the overlooked and discarded into profound expressions of beauty and meaning. This exhibition invites viewers to explore his multifaceted artistic identity and witness the transformative power of his works." Highlights include “Without Skin/The Water This Time”, which uses found objects, such as firehoses, to represent suppression methods during the Civil Rights Movement. In “Without Skin”, hoses symbolize domestic terror, while “The Water This Time” features a cross that references both the church's role as a gathering place for Black Americans and the Ku Klux Klan's intimidation tactics. Another highlight is the captivating "Sandstone Room,” which showcases sculptures made from discarded steel armature casts, silt, and sand. Drawing inspiration from various aesthetic influences, Holley's sculptures demonstrate his ability to transform discarded objects into meaningful artwork, reminding us of the nation's past and the progress yet to be made. "Lonnie Holley: If You Really Knew" celebrates Holley's remarkable talent, artistic evolution, and contributions to modern art history. The exhibition offers a unique and immersive experience, inviting visitors to explore an artist's practice that confronts American history, engages with personal memoir, and shares an ever-evolving output across various mediums.

Perched on Mexico’s pristine Playa Mujeres Beach is Garza Blanca Resort & Spa Cancun, a new oceanfront resort with six heated pools, great dining, and a world-class spa. What better way is there to celebrate your birthday than to escape to an all-inclusive five-star beach resort? Unlimited cocktails and food, the beach, sunshine…. Let’s go! Mexico’s new celeb-preferred resort serves up an elevated all-inclusive experience. But first, cake – which is what awaits us in our suite, along with the most artistic “Happy Birthday” message to me crafted with dry, colored rice. It’s spectacular, as is the mouth-watering spread set out. Next to my birthday cake is a fruit and cheese platter and a bottle of wine. Garza Blanca’s staff certainly know how to make a lady feel special. Garza Blanca Resort & Spa Cancun boasts remarkable accommodations, including, contemporary one-, two-, and three-bedroom loft suites as well as swim-up suites. All 452 suites feature spacious private terraces, patio hammocks, and gorgeous views of the Caribbean Sea. The resort has quickly become a celebrity hotspot, and has already hosted Riverdale’s Lili Reinhart, boxing champion Floyd Mayweather, and gymnast Simone Biles, winner of seven Olympic medals. Designed with luxury and the utmost comfort in mind, suites boast Tafer signature mattresses and linens, a personal butler, 24-hour suite service, a pillow menu, electric curtains, and nightly turndown service. The kitchens are appointed with full-sized refrigerators and dishwashers, and are stocked with plates, silverware, glassware, soft drinks, beers, and sweet and salty snacks, including Pringles, peanuts, and gummies. For your in-room dining pleasure, there is a dining room table inside, as well as one on the terrace, so guests can enjoy a sunrise breakfast or sunset dinner. Our personal butlers, Enrique and Luis, leave us in our room to get settled. During our stay, we used WhatsApp to stay in contact with them. They assisted with everything we needed, from making reservations at the resort’s restaurants to drawing us a hot bubble bath while we were out. Talk about pampered treatment. We slip into our swimsuits, put on our sunnies, and set off to explore Garza Blanca Resort. First stop, the adults-only rooftop pool. Situated at the center of the hotel, the rooftop pool provides stunning views of the palm-tree-flecked pool area below, and the white-sand beach juxtaposed against the bluest water. Comfy lounge chairs and daybeds are positioned around the infinity pool, and an alfresco, covered bar sits toward the back of the rooftop. We take a seat at the bar and order margaritas. The sun is shining, live music is playing, and the libations are frosty –oh, this is the life. DAO, a chic contemporary Chinese restaurant adorned with a massive Buddha and flickering paper lanterns overhead, is also found on the rooftop. Everything from the dim sum and entrees to our server and his dessert presentation (hello, fire show), impressed. There are a variety of restaurants on the property to satiate all tastes, including Blanca Blue, which serves breakfast and Mexican fare; Hiroshi, which serves Japanese Cuisine; Bocados Steak House; The Rooftop; Food Truck, which serves raw bar seafood; Snack Bar, which serves American and Mexican food, and Gourmet Hall, which serves 5 types of specialty cuisines. All the food was delicious. We loved the cuisine at Bocados Steak House and Hiroshi. Hiroshi’s gourmet robata experience is exceptional. While seated at their outdoor robata bar, we were served 7 excellent courses that included signature drinks, handmade nigiris, cono handrolls, makisushis, miso soup, traditional grilled skewers, and dessert. The sushi was incredibly fresh and delicious, while the other dishes were seasoned and plated perfectly. Bravo, Hiroshi. What truly makes this resort standout is the service. We interacted with myriad staff during our stay – at the bars, restaurants, front desk – and everyone was knowledgeable and always eager to accommodate us. We felt well taken care of here. During our tequila tasting at the lobby bar, we learned a great deal and enjoyed sampling a variety of fine tequilas. Now, I know the difference between blanco, reposado and añejo. By the evening, we were exhausted from indulging in the sun, pool time, libations (thank you, swim-up bar!), and plentiful fare, and were honestly happy to return to our cozy turned-down bed adorned with chocolates and towel art (we had towel elephants, a baby penguin and a towel birthday cake created by our housekeeper, Anayanci). And we definitely took advantage of the 24-hour room service --late-night desserts and breakfast in bed are a must when you are on vacation. Garza Blanca Resort & Spa Cancun also caters to families with their kid’s pools, Kid’s Club, floating Aqua Park, and TierraLuna Plaza, where you will find a picture-perfect merry-go-round.  This stunning resort has so many photo-worthy spots from the central pool with its acrylic wall and ample hammocks to the gorgeous lobby and rooftop infinity pool.

Godolphin’s homebred Pretty Mischievous took charge at the top of the stretch and held off the late surge from Gambling Girl to prevail in Friday’s 149th Kentucky Oaks (G1). Trained by Brendan Walsh and ridden by Tyler Gaffalione, the 10-1 chance finished 1 1/8 miles in 1:49.77 and paid $22.74. Pretty Mischievous has always been highly regarded, and the daughter of leading sire Into Mischief appeared to be fulfilling that promise with scores in the Untapable S. and Rachel Alexandra (G2) at Fair Grounds. But after she was a well-beaten second in the March 25 Fair Grounds Oaks (G2), connections believed that she lost focus. Blinkers were accordingly added for the Kentucky Oaks, and Pretty Mischievous responded to earn her biggest career win. Despite a wide trip throughout from post 14, the bay traveled well in striking range of the leaders, cruised up to challenge on the far turn, and kept finding down the length of the Churchill Downs stretch. Gambling Girl proved the only danger as she uncorked a furious rally, but Pretty Mischievous was all determination in the headgear. At the wire, Pretty Mischievous still had her neck in front. Alys Look took third in a photo from favored Wet Paint, her stablemate from the Brad Cox barn. Wet Paint, herself a Godolphin homebred, gave Sheikh Mohammed’s global operation the bookends of the Oaks superfecta. Next came Darth Vader, pacesetter Flying Connection, Defining Purpose, Mimi Kakushi, Wonder Wheel, Southlawn, Affirmative Lady, And Tell Me Nolies, Botanical, and Promiseher America. Out of the Grade 1-winning Tapit mare Pretty City Dancer, Pretty Mischievous improved her record to 7-5-1-1. She won her first two career starts beneath the Twin Spires last fall and placed third in the Golden Rod (G2), and wintering at Fair Grounds, which once again has furnished the Kentucky Oaks winner.

The celebration was held in the heart of New York City’s Meatpacking district, neighboring the original Bungalow 8 night club, transporting guests back in time to club’s prime, including the iconic NO VACANCY sign, made famous from the original Bungalow 8 facade. Gucci has a history of celebrating iconic nostalgic New York nightlife destinations including B Bar in the Lower East Side in 2015. Guests mixed and mingled while enjoying bites inspired by the New York neighborhood, as well as nods to the original Bungalow 8 menu, including well known cocktails from the club such as Cosmopolitans. Décor was inspired by Gucci’s newest New York retail presence: Meatpacking, which opened its doors in early April. Purple floors throughout the space are a nod to the vintage furniture sourced for the new Boutique, as well as pink accents throughout the space that recall the store’s Demetra walls, a more environmentally friendly animal-free textile pioneered by Gucci. The grid-like DJ booth, a nod to the ceilings featured within the store, evoke the industrial character of the neighborhood. Guests enjoyed music by Memphy (in Gucci), before ushering in a special DJ set by Idris Elba (in Gucci), face of Gucci’s 25H Timepiece collection and close friend of the House. Earlier this month, Gucci announced the opening of its latest store on the corner of W 14th Street and 9th Avenue in New York City’s Meatpacking District. Spanning two levels, the boutique counts over 9,000 square feet of retail space including an exclusive area dedicated to private appointments. By ML Staff. Images Courtesy of Gucci / Amy Sacco
