IMPACT: 50 Years of the CFDA is the first museum exhibition to celebrate the quintessentially American artistry of the leading fashion trade organization in the United States. Spearheaded by Council president, Diane von Furstenberg, the exhibition includes garments and accessories by the most impactful creators of the last fifty years, on view from January 29 through April 21, 2013.
Featured in the exhibition are interactive touchscreen displays that illustrate a timeline of American fashion and recognize the nearly 600 designers who have been members of the CFDA over the last five decades. Each living designer selected to participate in the exhibition has chosen a single object or ensemble that best represents his or her impact on the fashion world.
In a way, Matthew Whitman Lazenby is his family’s answer to the new world of Miami’s upscale shopping scene.
He favors the work of Ayn Rand, the late Russian-American novelist and philosopher. She believed laissez-faire capitalism is the ideal political-economic system where people deal with each other as traders of free exchange to their mutual benefit.
In a sense, he sees those elements play out every day on the job, as operating partner in his family’s business –the Bal Harbour Shops, one of Greater Miami’s bastions of high-end fashion shopping.
He is at the helm at a challenging and exciting time for the 47-year-old, open-air shopping center, which is working to stay ahead of the competition in the area’s evolving and increasingly competitive luxury retail sector. In recent years, several stores at the Shops have defected to newer locales such as the Aventura Mall and midtown-Miami’s Design District.
Mr. Whitman Lazenby, whose duties including tenant leases, says other stores have stepped in, but the need to offer designers more space is paramount. With that in mind, the Shops is about to undertake a major expansion, estimated at a cost of about $100 million, and he is helping shape the plan.
After stints working in the real estate field in New York and Detroit, Mr. Whitman Lazenby got the seasoning he needed to step into a leadership role at the Shops. He completed the process with a master’s degree in real estate development, which he is sure to put to use with the expansion – including relocating a nearby church.
At his office in the mall, Mr. Whitman Lazenby spoke with Miami Today reporter Scott Blake about his work to help carry his family’s legacy into the future.

Norton Highlights British Fashion and Design During WWII with
Keep Calm and Carry On: World War II and the British Home Front, 1938-1951
West Palm Beach, FL (Sept. 18, 2012) –When the British government produced the poster “Keep Calm and Carry On” in 1939, it was a rallying cry for the public, and a demonstration of a new collaboration between the government and the creative class. The Norton Museum of Art opens its special exhibition season exploring the ways in which artists, designers, architects, and filmmakers in Great Britain bolstered a nation and helped win the war on the home front. Keep Calm and Carry On: World War II and the British Home Front, 1938-1951, opens Nov. 1, 2012 and runs through Jan. 20, 2013. (Companion programming includes the four-part series, Keep Calm and Carry On: British Films with Scott Eyman. Eyman, literary critic and arts writer for The Palm Beach Post, is a noted film historian and author.)
“Virtually every member of England's creative class, from fashion designer Hardy Amies to arts leader Kenneth Clark and writer Noel Coward, helped fight the war at home, not only by creating innovative designs that saved essential wartime materials, but also by injecting style, beauty, and high culture into the harsh realities of wartime life," said Donald Albrecht, curator of the exhibition, who will provide insight during a discussion at 6:30 p.m. on Nov. 29 (Barry Day, a Fellow of the Royal Society of the Arts and Trustee of the Noel Coward Foundation will discuss growing up in England during the Blitz at 3 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 13, 2013.)
Keep Calm and Carry On examines design between 1938 and 1951, the years immediately before, during, and after England’s participation in the war. The exhibition is divided into three sections:
• Design for Fashion and Beauty, which features women’s dresses—some by couturier to the royal family Hardy Amies—and uniforms from the era, a clothing rations book, and copies of British Vogue.
• Design for Shelter and Protection, which highlights air-raid shelter designs and drawings, and domestic objects, including utility furniture.
• Design for Entertainment and Propaganda, which demonstrates the ways graphic designers and filmmakers shaped the nation’s behaviors and attitudes from encouraging women to enter the workforce and plant victory gardens to imploring everyone to “keep calm and carry on.”
For greater context of the social, cultural, and political dimensions of the struggles on the home front, the exhibition will include clips from films and radio programs that were popular during the era. Vintage photographs also will help visitors understand what daily life on the home front looked like.
The exhibition will begin with the preparations for war in 1938 and will end with a coda devoted to the major design events in the years directly following the war that were pivotal in Britain’s conversion from a wartime nation to a peacetime nation. Included are objects and images from the 1946 Britain Can Make It exhibition at London’s Victoria and Albert Museum, the 1948 Olympics, the 1948 Earl’s Court Auto Show, and the 1951 Festival of Britain, a government organized exhibition that highlighted Britain’s contributions to industrial design, architecture, science, technology, and the arts.
“The Norton exhibition will continue to explore the ideas and work presented in the MFA Boston’s excellent, focused exhibition Beauty as Duty: Textiles and the Home Front in WWII Britain,” said Norton Executive Director Hope Alswang. “World War II and the austerity measures that came along with it were pivotal in ushering a new era of modernism in Great Britain. The British creative class came together to support the war effort, unify the nation, and maintain morale, and, in the process, created a more egalitarian society. It’s been a fascinating road of discovery and we’re eager to share our new knowledge with our visitors.”
Rick Ulysse, was born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti in 1983 and grew up in Philadelphia where he attended Tyler School of Art. Newly relocated to Miami, he is especially interested in continuing his research for his latest series of drawings based on Toussaint Louverture and the Haitian Revolution. Imagination, cartoon realism, ethnography and historical fiction all combine in a non-linear fashion and avoids direct story telling in the traditional sense. Ulysse notes that he uses “an open form to negotiate/infuse the everyday and current events into a broad conversation about history. Using this process allows me to garner a variety of sources from Japanese anime and Walt Disney, to Christian iconography and African symbolism.” One of the aims of his work is “to communicate to my younger cousins about Haitian history and identity. Theirs is a generation that views cartoons as reality.” He will have the opportunity to work directly with the teens and young adults in MOCA education programs, approximately 70 percent of whom are Haitian, and he will have access to South Florida’s centers for Haitian historical research, including the Haitian Historical Museum and Archives in North Miami.
In this second installment of MOCA’s experimental program, Trading Places, South Florida artists will swap their studios for studio spaces in MOCA’s galleries. The program provides the artists with materials, technical assistants and opportunities to interact, respond to and investigate each others’ practices and engage in discussions with the public. Each of the selected artists has reached a critical moment in their career when they can benefit most from the opportunity to work with MOCA’s curatorial and technical staff.
Trading Places II is on view through November 11, 2012.
Trading Places II is made possible by MOCA’s Knight Exhibition Endowment.

TRADING PLACES 2 AT MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART
Knight Exhibition Series
September 13 – November 11, 2012
Artists swap their studios for spaces in MOCA galleries
Meet the artist panel discussions on July 18 and 25, 2012
In 2005, the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA), North Miami launched an experimental program called Trading Places in which South Florida artists swapped their studio spaces for space in the museum’s galleries for the period of two months. From September 13 through November 11, 2012, MOCA has invited five South Florida artists: Dona Altemus, Onajide Shabaka, Magnus Sigurdarson, Rick Ulysse and Antonia Wright to participate in Trading Places 2, the second installment of this program. Trading Places 2 is part of MOCA’s Knight Exhibition Series program.
The emphasis of Trading Places 2 is on the research and development of projects rather than specifically working toward an exhibition, although works may be exhibited or performed at the museum. The artists selected have reached critical moments in their careers when they can most benefit from the opportunity to work with MOCA’s curatorial and technical staff.
This program provides the artists with studio spacein the museum’s galleries, materials and technical assistants, and opportunities to interact, respond to and investigate each others’ practices and engage in periodic discussions with the public.
A new component of Trading Places 2 is the role these artists will play mentoring the teens and young adults enrolled in MOCA’s free afterschool educationclasses and intern program, as part of the MOCA Art Institute, MOCA’s extensive education program for students of all ages.
Trading Places 2 is organized by the Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami under the direction of MOCA Executive Director and Chief Curator Bonnie Clearwater. It is made possible by MOCA’s Knight Exhibition Endowment.

Magnus Sigurdarson was born in Reykjavik, Iceland in 1966. He will further explore the concept of identity and his search for “Miami Melancholy,” which has been ongoing since his move to Miami in 2004. “As a true blood Northerner with deep roots in Melancholy and the poetic enclose or angst as an artistic motivator, I have been searching for the ‘Tropical Melancholy’ and the ‘Subliminal in the flatness of Florida.’ This has of course opened my heart to all the other emotions,” Sigurdarson notes. In Iceland, Sigurdarson mentored many younger artists, including Ragnar Kjartansson who had a recent exhibition at MOCA.
Clearwater notes, “One of the essential aspects of any art community is the interaction between its artists. Trading Places helps to forge a stronger relationship between multi-generational artists and the students they mentor and to engage the public in the creative process.”

THE MULTIMEDIA PHENOMENON OF THE SUMMER IS BACK… RED EYE 2012!
A NIGHT DEDICATED TO BEING IMMERSED IN FORT LAUDERDALE’S STREET CULTURE
ArtServe and Sponsors; Rick Case Fiat, Greater Fort Lauderdale Alliance, Gibraltar Bank and Jerry’s Artarama will deliver a multimedia event portraying a sense of the experimental and unconventional on Saturday, July 14th from 6-10pm. Currently in its 7th year, the Red Eye will fuel the mind, body and soul. An innovative and exciting project that adds a twist to the conventional gallery exhibit, this is the only exhibit enmeshing gallery art with street art bringing attention to beauty in the eccentric and raising awareness to a new-age of artistic expression through dance, graffiti, music, fashion and installations as well as visual art. Forget that nervous little adjective “edgy”: Red Eye 2012 will wield a night that promises to leave you hyped, reflective, inspired, and completely stimulated!
“Red Eye is a spinoff of the Warhol world,” notes Byron Swart, the event founder and coordinator. “It’s overstimulation of the eye. As you walk through the spaces you confront so much that you’re often not sure if you’re a viewer or part of the installation. You’re constantly rubbing your eyes, taking a closer look, and experiencing something new and interesting. This is not your grandmother’s art exhibit.”
“Catering to the highly innovative, low brow and radical, the Red Eye is an energetic and creative concept offering artists in all artistic disciplines an open forum to express themselves.” commented Julia Andrews, ArtServe’s Curator. The Red Eye exhibition itself runs from July 5th to July 27th, 2012 with artwork displayed including 2D and 3D visual artwork, jewelry and installations.
With a crowd of over 1500 expected to experience Red Eye once again, title sponsor Rick Case Automotive is adding a new dimension to this year’s event, allowing one of their new Fiat cars to be “tagged” or covered in graffiti by Abstrk. The car will be unveiled at a private VIP launch party, where it will then be displayed at various locations around Broward County. A graffiti challenge “Cans to Canvas” will be done live on site during Red Eye Event, where people can watch it happen in real time.
“Having Rick Case Fiat involved is taking the event to a new level. It’s the perfect match between the consumer and the corporate world,” says Earl Bosworth, President of ArtServe. “The Fiat is designed like a piece of art. It’s sculptural and has presence. Graffiti art is one of the most popular modes of artistic expression these days. Fusing the two for Red Eye is a phenomenal idea. Red Eye truly becomes where the street meets the gallery with this new element added.”
Mark your calendars for Saturday, July 14th from 6-10pm at ArtServe - the ground-breaking reception promises to invigorate your senses with live music performances by The Hate Ash Buried, Boxwood, Astari Nite, Speaking Volumes and Twilight Notes; live graffiti art by Miss Marvel, Remote, Caron Bowman, Mad Neon, Ruben Ubiera and Abstrk as well as entertainment around every corner. You will not want to miss the Red Shorts, a Film Festival hosted by filmmaker Michael Chasin; open mic, hosted by local poetry guru Renda Writer and DJ’s performing while avant-garde fashion, designed by students from FIU under the guidance of Fashion Curator Sharon Ali premieres on the catwalk, in the Classical South Florida Hall at ArtServe.
Other Sponsors for the event include ArtsCalendar.com, id.im group, Tijuana Flats, Broward County Cultural Division, Fast Printz, New Times, twilight notes, Vibe, Galleria Mall, Transworld Business Advisors, American Intercontinental University, Impact Imagery, Audacity Recording Studio, Slumming Duchess and Resurrection Drums.

THE MULTIMEDIA PHENOMENON OF THE SUMMER IS BACK… RED EYE 2012!
A NIGHT DEDICATED TO BEING IMMERSED IN FORT LAUDERDALE’S STREET CULTURE
ArtServe and Sponsors; Rick Case Fiat, Greater Fort Lauderdale Alliance, Gibraltar Bank and Jerry’s Artarama will deliver a multimedia event portraying a sense of the experimental and unconventional on Saturday, July 14th from 6-10pm. Currently in its 7th year, the Red Eye will fuel the mind, body and soul. An innovative and exciting project that adds a twist to the conventional gallery exhibit, this is the only exhibit enmeshing gallery art with street art bringing attention to beauty in the eccentric and raising awareness to a new-age of artistic expression through dance, graffiti, music, fashion and installations as well as visual art. Forget that nervous little adjective “edgy”: Red Eye 2012 will wield a night that promises to leave you hyped, reflective, inspired, and completely stimulated!
“Red Eye is a spinoff of the Warhol world,” notes Byron Swart, the event founder and coordinator. “It’s overstimulation of the eye. As you walk through the spaces you confront so much that you’re often not sure if you’re a viewer or part of the installation. You’re constantly rubbing your eyes, taking a closer look, and experiencing something new and interesting. This is not your grandmother’s art exhibit.”
“Catering to the highly innovative, low brow and radical, the Red Eye is an energetic and creative concept offering artists in all artistic disciplines an open forum to express themselves.” commented Julia Andrews, ArtServe’s Curator. The Red Eye exhibition itself runs from July 5th to July 27th, 2012 with artwork displayed including 2D and 3D visual artwork, jewelry and installations.
With a crowd of over 1500 expected to experience Red Eye once again, title sponsor Rick Case Automotive is adding a new dimension to this year’s event, allowing one of their new Fiat cars to be “tagged” or covered in graffiti by Abstrk. The car will be unveiled at a private VIP launch party, where it will then be displayed at various locations around Broward County. A graffiti challenge “Cans to Canvas” will be done live on site during Red Eye Event, where people can watch it happen in real time.
“Having Rick Case Fiat involved is taking the event to a new level. It’s the perfect match between the consumer and the corporate world,” says Earl Bosworth, President of ArtServe. “The Fiat is designed like a piece of art. It’s sculptural and has presence. Graffiti art is one of the most popular modes of artistic expression these days. Fusing the two for Red Eye is a phenomenal idea. Red Eye truly becomes where the street meets the gallery with this new element added.”

THE MULTIMEDIA PHENOMENON OF THE SUMMER IS BACK… RED EYE 2012!
A NIGHT DEDICATED TO BEING IMMERSED IN FORT LAUDERDALE’S STREET CULTURE
ArtServe and Sponsors; Rick Case Fiat, Greater Fort Lauderdale Alliance, Gibraltar Bank and Jerry’s Artarama will deliver a multimedia event portraying a sense of the experimental and unconventional on Saturday, July 14th from 6-10pm. Currently in its 7th year, the Red Eye will fuel the mind, body and soul. An innovative and exciting project that adds a twist to the conventional gallery exhibit, this is the only exhibit enmeshing gallery art with street art bringing attention to beauty in the eccentric and raising awareness to a new-age of artistic expression through dance, graffiti, music, fashion and installations as well as visual art. Forget that nervous little adjective “edgy”: Red Eye 2012 will wield a night that promises to leave you hyped, reflective, inspired, and completely stimulated!
“Red Eye is a spinoff of the Warhol world,” notes Byron Swart, the event founder and coordinator. “It’s overstimulation of the eye. As you walk through the spaces you confront so much that you’re often not sure if you’re a viewer or part of the installation. You’re constantly rubbing your eyes, taking a closer look, and experiencing something new and interesting. This is not your grandmother’s art exhibit.”
“Catering to the highly innovative, low brow and radical, the Red Eye is an energetic and creative concept offering artists in all artistic disciplines an open forum to express themselves.” commented Julia Andrews, ArtServe’s Curator. The Red Eye exhibition itself runs from July 5th to July 27th, 2012 with artwork displayed including 2D and 3D visual artwork, jewelry and installations.
With a crowd of over 1500 expected to experience Red Eye once again, title sponsor Rick Case Automotive is adding a new dimension to this year’s event, allowing one of their new Fiat cars to be “tagged” or covered in graffiti by Abstrk. The car will be unveiled at a private VIP launch party, where it will then be displayed at various locations around Broward County. A graffiti challenge “Cans to Canvas” will be done live on site during Red Eye Event, where people can watch it happen in real time.
“Having Rick Case Fiat involved is taking the event to a new level. It’s the perfect match between the consumer and the corporate world,” says Earl Bosworth, President of ArtServe. “The Fiat is designed like a piece of art. It’s sculptural and has presence. Graffiti art is one of the most popular modes of artistic expression these days. Fusing the two for Red Eye is a phenomenal idea. Red Eye truly becomes where the street meets the gallery with this new element added.”
Mark your calendars for Saturday, July 14th from 6-10pm at ArtServe - the ground-breaking reception promises to invigorate your senses with live music performances by The Hate Ash Buried, Boxwood, Astari Nite, Speaking Volumes and Twilight Notes; live graffiti art by Miss Marvel, Remote, Caron Bowman, Mad Neon, Ruben Ubiera and Abstrk as well as entertainment around every corner. You will not want to miss the Red Shorts, a Film Festival hosted by filmmaker Michael Chasin; open mic, hosted by local poetry guru Renda Writer and DJ’s performing while avant-garde fashion, designed by students from FIU under the guidance of Fashion Curator Sharon Ali premieres on the catwalk, in the Classical South Florida Hall at ArtServe.
