Wynwood Tonight
Taking a Gallery Walk on the Wild Side
Story and Photos by Irene Sperner
 |
|
|
The work of sculptor Oriano Galloni,
on display at the Lurie Fine Art Galleries |
|
An August Gallery Walk is a scary possibility, but a reasonably interesting
reality.
Ever a diverse landscape, the dregs of summer offer up some surprises---not
all thrilling, but let’s stick with the word diverse.
Finding open venues is the first trick. My carload of art patrons were
getting quite proficient at hopping in and out of my vehicle by night’s end, as
the term “Gallery Walk” needs to be amended to “Gallery Hunt.” Maybe a master
list of open participants wouldn’t be the worst thought of the evening.
Clearly far afield from Wynwood, we started with an early opening of the new
Miami Center for the Photographic Arts, (1601 1st St Miami , 305-649-9575
mcpagallery.com.) Featuring six master graduates in photography, the
selected works were thoughtful and well executed. Many incorporated mixed media
with the photographic process. This new MCPA addition for the long respected
Borders Framing family is a welcome idea to the world of Miami photography as
they add a darkroom teaching and rental facility to their repertoire. |

By Jan Engoren
Enlarged frames from 1962’s Di Franco Boat
Ride, one of the films that will be screened at the Rewind/ Fast Forward
Film and Video Festival, August 24-26. |

Forward Film and Video Festival is back for its sixth
year, showcasing its unique collection of moving
images from South Florida. On Friday through Sunday,
August 24-26, you can see some of these interesting
images, restored Hollywood films and home movies. The
festival is free and open to the public.
What makes this film festival different from other film
festivals? The Rewind/Fast Forward Film and Video
Festival, the first of its kind in the country, explores
all facets of documentary filmmaking and film and video
preservation.
Where else can you see a 5-minute short from the 1920s
of George Eastman, Henry Ford and Thomas Edison sitting,
talking and drinking iced tea in white suits? This is
the only color footage of Thomas Edison in existence.
