editor’s letter

t’s the most wonderful time of the year. By that I’m referring to Miami Art Week, arguably the most jubilant few days celebrated in our city in December. Instead of festive lights, we have colorful wall murals. Forget shopping at the mall — we have over 30 art fairs to stroll through. Who needs Santa on his sleigh when there are Botero sculptures lining Lincoln Road? And eggnog? Please. They don’t call it Art Boozel for nothing. Throw the parties, and they will come. This month, INDULGE highlights the movers, shakers and makers of the art world, starting with our exclusive interview with Mera and Don Rubell, two of the world’s most prominent art collectors and leaders in Miami’s art scene. Just in time for Art Basel, the couple celebrates their unprecedented new space in Allapattah, a neighborhood that the creative community and real estate developers alike are focusing in on as Miami’s soon-to-be hot spot. The new 100,000-square-foot Rubell Museum is set to open with a museum-wide installation of works that chronicle key artists and important movements of the past 50 years. The inaugural exhibition encompasses more than 300 works by 100 artists, providing one of the most far-ranging museum exhibitions of contemporary art ever showcased. In this issue’s cover story (p.132), Eric Barton presents us with a different side of the couple — a personal one detailing the early days of their marriage and the fateful evening in New York’s Jenny Starr Perez Chelsea district that unbeknownst to them was the first step to a new life as prolific art collectors of Editor in Chief pieces from industry luminaries such as Cindy Sherman, Jeff Koons and Keith Haring, among others. In another exclusive for the magazine, photographer Nick Garcia and the INDULGE team (including myself) got to preview the impressive space and chat with the Rubells’ partners in LEKU, the Basque-style restaurant opening inside the museum (p.138). Heading the dream team and sharing the cover with Mera is Spanish chef Mikel Goikolea (formerly of three-Michelin-star restaurant Azurmendi) and Andreas Schreiner, a founder of Pubbelly Restaurant Group who left the business but recently found himself lured back by a promising, major new project. The Rubells certainly know talent — artistic or otherwise — when they see it. During a week filled with museum exhibits, art fairs and so, so many events (many of them open to the public), narrowing down what to do and where to go can become overwhelming. For this reason, I encourage you to flip to our annual guide to all things art week (p.153). Select INDULGE experts lead you through the special exhibitions, murals and parties you can't miss, the best places to take the kids, and even where to sit down and enjoy art-inspired dishes. Consider it our gift to you in honor of Miami’s favorite almost-holiday.

from the publisher

y youngest daughter Lauren, now twenty-three, has always been the definition of a kid in a candy store. From the age of three, she would light up with joy in her eyes and an impish smile when, for example, choosing the perfect ice cream cone. Chocolate, strawberry, cookies and cream? So many yummy options! Even now, she’ll get excited deciding where tonight's dinner might be — when mom and dad are picking up the tab, of course. As you page through this month’s INDULGE, our annual Art Basel edition, my maternal sense tells me you too might be feeling like a kid in a candy store. Truth is, our contributing team certainly hopes so. This is our premier issue of the year and a labor of love, so open up your calendar and get ready to fill it with an assortment of colorful delights. From art fairs to lavish dinners to see-and-be-seen cocktail parties, you’ll be spoiled with an excess of choices. First and foremost, it’s all about the art — but not necessarily the kind you find in a gallery. With autumn weather beckoning you outdoors, it’s the perfect time to check out the sculpture sightings and outdoor museums in our Art for All feature (p.142), which reminds us that art is not always created, or intended to be appreciated, indoors. In The Guide: A Maze of Murals (p. 172), we select a handful Lesley DeCanio of favorites in Wynwood, where you can check off some of our highlights while discovering a few of your own. Don't miss the new mural featuring the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida, created by renowned Native American artist Bunky Echo-Hawk. His art, which has been shown in the U.S. and around the world, represents issues facing Native American communities and helps promote understanding, inclusivity and equality. Got kids? We’ve got treats for them as well. The Guide: Young at Art (p.174) provides an array of experiences that children of all ages can share in, starting with the ArtCade at Art Miami. You’ll have loads of fun while enjoying creative insights, inspiration and precious family time. If the Art Week options seem overwhelming, here’s your cheat sheet: 10 Things Not to Miss During Basel (p.154). The fantastic Pink Beasts installation in the Design District is a textile collab that includes colorful sloths (love them) and funky hands-on hammocks — so jump in and swing away! Of course, the proverbial kid in a candy store craves more than just eye candy, so we also have the kind you sip. If you’ve ever passed on dessert to imbibe your calories instead, try combining sip and sin with the spectacular dessert drinks you’ll find in Pour (p.104). Angela Caraway-Carlton's contribution is absolutely Insta-worthy and features some of my favorites, like the deliciously decadent Mandolini Di Sorrento at the Sirenuse Champagne Bar. Once you discover the inspiration for this drink, you may consider jetting off to Positano! Or gather your besties and sashay over to the fabulous Matador Room — its shareable flamingo-shaped punch bowl could be the catalyst for your next girls’ night out. Finally, it’s the season when we all become kids in a candy store as we look forward to the holidays with anticipation. I hope your candy jar runneth over with an abundance of sweetness, joy, wonder and love. See you in 2020!

contributors AMANDA MESA Amanda Mesa is a veteran of Miami’s restaurant, bar and club scene. As nightlife editor of Miami.com and a frequent contributor to INDULGE, she chronicles her forays into local cocktails, food, culture and more. Before focusing full-time on writing, Amanda worked with international talent as an A&R manager at Universal Music Group. For her last two pieces with INDULGE, she returned to her music industry roots to spotlight Miami’s burgeoning live music scene, including interviews with some of the city’s best-known acts and up-and-coming pioneers — like DJ and production duo Paperwater, who are using sound, visuals and technology to reshape Miami’s creative landscape.

ERIC BARTON Having traveled to the Basque region recently, contributor Eric Barton was thrilled to learn, while reporting this month’s cover story, that the Rubell Museum would feature a Basque restaurant. A freelancer in Fort Lauderdale, pictured here in Bilbao, Barton says there’s no better start to the night than pintxos tapas and a glass of Basque vermouth.

CHRISTIE GALEANO-DEMOTT CAROLINA CARDONA Born and raised in Puerto Rico, Carolina Cardona is an award-winning editor, content creator and author who has been loving life in Miami since 2001 covering luxury lifestyle, travel, art, film and pop culture for major publications and entities.

Her first novel: “Andújar: The Robot Gentleman of San Juan” will be published in February. IG: @thetropicaleccentric.

Christie is a food lover, travel fanatic, bookworm, Francophile, and she believes art in all its forms is good for the soul. When she’s not writing about the incredible people, places and design that capture Miami’s culture, style and vibe, Christie is irresistibly happy in the company of her husband, Dave; their Pomeranian, Madison; and a glass of red wine. This month, she writes about how Miami is bringing art out of the museums and into the community for all to enjoy through the city’s various art in public places programs.

ANGELA CARAWAY-CARLTON A veteran television news producer/reporter, former magazine editor and freelance writer for numerous local and national publications, Angela CarawayCarlton has covered luxury lifestyle trends for the last 14 years. When she’s not traveling the world, you’ll find her on the Brightline train hitting all three counties for the latest South Florida scoop. For this issue, she sipped at the Baccarat BBar & Lounge, discovered why locals should give iconic Ocean Drive a new look, spotlighted this month’s top destinations, and is still on a sugar high from sampling dessert cocktails.

JENNIFER AGRESS Jennifer Agress is a Miami-based food and travel writer who loves a spicy Pinot Noir, a good charcuterie board and traveling every chance she gets. A past City Editor of DiningOut Miami, today she writes about luxury hotels, travel destinations, chefs and restaurants for INDULGE, Fodors, Forbes, Time Out, Thrillist, Orbitz, Travelocity, and more.

Dr. Stephan Baker PLASTIC SURGEON

WHAT ARE YOUR SPECIALTIES?

“Making women and men look younger. I do so with surgical and non-surgical techniques. My aesthetic goal is always a natural and refreshed appearance. As jowls and neck loosening become a concern, I restore a younger appearance by surgically eliminating jowls and tightening loose, saggy

PLASTIC SURGEON

neck skin to restore a clean jaw line and a younger look. Eyes are refreshed with eyelid or brow surgery. Botox and facial filler treatments often will suffice for younger patients, helping maintain a facelift result.”

HOW DO YOU APPROACH PATIENTCENTERED MEDICINE? “We are here to serve our patients. That starts by carefully listening to their concerns, goals and aspirations. Then,

W H AT A R E YO U R S P E C I A LT I E S ? I would say facelifts and ‘Mommy Makeovers’. The facelift is a very powerful path to building one’s selfesteem and provides highly effective and long-lasting results beyond what non-surgical tools can provide. Recapturing a youthful facial appearance with a clean neck and jawline and fresh looking eyes truly lifts one’s spirit. Similarly, the popular ‘Mommy Makeover’ surgery provides specific results that are not attainable with nonsurgical options. Beyond exercise and sound nutrition, the tummy tuck corrects the inevitable stretching caused by pregnancy, while implants and breast lifting ] restore lost fill and shape after breast feeding.

based on their anatomic realities, we design a specific

treatment plan. I meet with patients three times before

surgery to be sure all questions are fully addressed. After

surgery, I check patients the next day in the office and every two to three days thereafter through their early recovery. I personally perform all their after-surgery care.”

WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT PRACTICING IN MIAMI?

“Having grown up in Germany, I love Miami and its warm, sensual climate and beautiful ocean vistas. Miami today is an international, vibrant and growing city and such a

convenient destination for many of our out-of- town patients from around the world.”

WHAT’S THE BEST ADVICE YOU CAN GIVE TO PATIENTS?

“Be realistic and be yourself. Whatever procedure you seek should be for you and not for somebody else. Strive for a

happy and healthy lifestyle. That includes good relationships, good food, aerobic exercise and sufficient sleep. And, of course, protect at least your face from the sun.”

WHAT DO YOU ENJOY DOING WHEN YOU’RE NOT SEEING PATIENTS OR IN SURGERY? “I don’t just ‘talk the talk’ but ‘walk the walk’ when it comes to a healthy lifestyle. I swim and bike routinely to stay in top

shape to perform my surgeries well and go to sleep at 9 p.m. My free time is all spent with my awesome son, a champion sailor, and my wife. We accompany him to many sailing regattas in the United States and internationally.”

An internationally renowned cosmetic plastic surgeon, Dr. Stephan Baker trained with some of the best surgeons in the world and has led a successful private practice for 24 years.

W H AT A R E T H E D I F F E R E N C E S B E T W E E N FAC E L I F T S F O R M E N A N D WO M E N ? Men don’t want anyone to notice they had anything done. There is still the sense that men don’t dabble in plastic surgery, although that perception is waning as men are taking better care of their bodies and want the face to match the rest. Women are different. They become virtual experts in cosmetics while young, and the facelift becomes a natural evolution as one gets older and nonsurgical options don’t cut it anymore. One thing both men and women agree on is wanting to look refreshed and natural, like a younger version of themselves. W H AT I S A M Y T H YO U WO U L D L I K E TO DISPEL ABOUT PLASTIC SURGERY? That it is easy. Excellent, natural looking results require not just technical expertise but artistic talent and stamina as the surgery is physically and mentally demanding. It is a serious surgery with a potential for complications and adverse outcomes. And no, it cannot fix all your problems. So if you’re emotionally not in a good place, you need to work on that first. W H AT I S T H E M O S T R E WA R D I N G PA R T O F YO U R J O B ? Giving others happiness. Creating beautiful results is rewarding for both the patient and plastic surgeon. It makes the years of training and experience worth it. It’s a journey that requires love, commitment and taking pride in your work.

Burnable Art Like those decorative soaps you should never actually use, there’s a new candle line featuring the art of Romero Britto. Sold at the Aroma360 store in Wynwood and on the retailer’s website, the candles come in a $159 set of three signature Britto colorful designs with scents titled Loveology, Radiance and Bliss. The store also has a limited edition of “bespoke” Britto candles reaching three feet tall and costing up to $1,800, which means you should definitely keep your matches to yourself and not light them. aroma360.com.

NEW YEAR’S WITH THE JONAS

Miami Moves North Miami has exported a bit of itself to Fort Lauderdale’s riverfront with the opening of The Wharf and its neighboring José Mendín restaurant, Rivertail. The northern outpost of The Wharf, a Miami River party spot, will look a lot like the original: communal tables, Astroturf, local food pop-ups and boat docks. This new Wharf, though, gets the additions of an entrance pergola, two feature bars and Insta-worthy nautical décor. Rivertail takes up residence next door, with a seafood-focused menu including crab donuts, a seafood boil and the Brazilian stew moqueca mista. Organizers say it’ll feel like Fort Lauderdale’s relaxing riverfront combined with the Hamptons — and of course a little bit of Miami magic thrown in for good measure. wharfftl.com and rivertailftl.com. The Wharf

For those looking for a quintessentially Miami way to start the ��s, there’s always the Fontainebleau Miami Beach, where the Jonas Brothers will headline the New Year’s Eve event. Nick, Joe and Kevin will perform at the resort’s oceanfront pool-scape to ring in ��. A $�� ticket gets you in, but you can also live large with private tables ranging from $�,�� to $��,�� for a stage-side private space for up to �� people. For you and the kiddos, there‛s the Family Experience package, just in case the little one dreams of a kiss from a Jonas brother at midnight. fontainebleau.com/nye.

Among the catalysts that converted Wynwood in the last decade from a dilapidated warehouse district to a center of creativity is the art that fills the walls of nearly every building. Street art gets its due finally with the Museum of Graffiti, opening in December at 299 NW 25th Street. Dreamed up by graffiti artist Alan Ket and attorney Allison Freidin, the museum itself is covered by murals. It features a permanent collection, exhibition galleries and a rotating collection of immersive art that celebrates a half century of street art.

The Original Dreamgirl Performs Long before the 2006 film by the same name, Dreamgirls tore up Broadway and made a star out of Jennifer Holliday. Now, the original dreamgirl is coming to Miami for a December 13 concert that’s part of the Miami Design District’s Performance Series. Emilio Estefan and Miami Symphony maestro Eduardo Marturet come in for an assist. themiso.org.

Emotional and Delicious Writer and producer of the hit TV series “This Is Us” Bekah Brunstetter invites theatergoers to a slice of her typical “dramedy” skills with her latest stage production, The Cake. Playing December 5-22 at the Carnival Studio Theater at the Adrienne Arsht Center, the play centers on traditional Della, whose deeply held beliefs are suddenly challenged when her daughter’s friend — a girl she helped raise — requests she make the wedding cake for her and the woman she intends to marry. The off-Broadway hit takes a humorous and honest look at people’s deep-seated fear of change, the importance of love and what it means to live happily ever after. arshtcenter.org.

The hour-long consultation with Dr. Trattner preceding the treatment includes a discussion regarding a customized, overall wellness plan as you sip on her delicious homemade organic Matcha. Patients are then asked to lie down on her table, where she will strategically place specific gemstones on the body’s “hot spots” or places where energy may be stagnant. These faceted healing stones are more than just pretty. They each give off a frequency that helps patients achieve everything from grounding, vitality, and flowing energy. As your eyes close dreamily and you drift off, Dr. Trattner applies cosmetic acupuncture that is pain-free and results in instant rejuvenation. Plan two hours for your first appointment.

INDULGE | DECEMBER 2019 / JANUARY 2020 | miamiindulge.com

the local BEAUTY By Erin Michelle Newberg

Leave it to the Experts Meet six sought-after makeup artists and brand ambassadors that are here to tell us how to give good face during Miami Art Week.

TIM QUINN – Giorgio Armani Beauty What do you envision as the perfect makeup look for Art Basel Miami Beach 2019? The perfect Art Basel makeup look consists of glowing skin using Luminous Silk Foundation by Armani Beauty. I also swear by a matte velvet lip, which is achieved using Lip Maestro Liquid Lipstick in the iconic “The Red” shade #400.

KELLI J. BARTLETT – Glamsquad Artistic Director How would you describe the perfect Miami makeup look for Art Basel and the other fairs? It’s definitely inspired by the hot trend of the moment — neon flashes of painted on color! I love this look because you can keep the rest of the makeup very simple: a little bronzer and lip gloss, and let your eyes take center stage.

The number one beauty essential that every woman needs to survive high season in Miami? The Maestro UV SPF Primer is the key to “survival”. It will keep your makeup fresh all day long as you run around to different art shows. It’s waterproof, water resistant, UVA and UV; it really is a beauty essential.

What product are you obsessed with that beauty buffs should use? I am obsessed with the Kyrolan Aqua Palette mixed with Glamsquad Ah-Mazing Refreshing & Setting Spray. It converts the color into watercolor washes that stay put even in Miami’s scorching heat.

CLAUDIA BETANCUR – L’Oréal Paris Celebrity Makeup Artist What is a risk we should take with our makeup during art week? This is the time to do your make up and mix it with art! I encourage you to play with colors, lines and glitter bright colors. What is the number one beauty essential that every woman needs? Definitely the new L’Oreal Paris collection of eyeliners like the Matte Signature Liquid Dip Eyeliner.

STEVE KASSAJIKIAN – Urban Decay Global Makeup Artist It’s the first night of Art Week and there are five events we have to arrive at looking fresh and fabulous. What look do we go for? I say that you stick with a flawless face. That image of clean skin and funk it up with a metallic eye and a bold lip. One item we cannot forget to include in our beauty routine that night? Urban Decay’s All Nighter Setting Spray is the way to go! Apart from using it to set your makeup, I use it with eyeshadow to create a metallic, foiled effect and spray it on the skin before applying highlighter to give the skin a fresh dewy glow.

INDULGE | DECEMBER 2019 / JANUARY 2020 | miamiindulge.com

NICK BAROSE – Lancôme What do you define as the ideal look for Miami Art Week? Fun and colorful elements like graphic liner in unusual colors like matte white or blue or lavender is a fun way to add some wearable art to your face. Wear it just along upper lash lines or use your regular black liner on top and add the fun color just on the bottom. What is a makeup must-have for this prime time in the city? Lancôme Drama Liqui-Pencil in Cote D’Azure.

MINA MATSUMURA – Valmont After a week of parties, we like to hit the art fairs. How do we create a luminous daytime look? Valmont’s new foundation, Teint Majestueux combines their magical ‘Essence of Bees’ formula from the beehive creating a natural look. That is how we would love to see the beautiful faces throughout Miami whilst browsing the art: flawless, luminous and chic! And, the number one beauty essential that every woman needs to survive Art Basel Miami Beach 2019? Valmont’s new Poudre de Teint Précieuse. This new light-enhancing makeup powder visibly eliminates imperfections, and can be worn alone to enhance the skin's natural glow. This is the #1 staple for every beauty lover!

the local STYLE By Christiana Lilly

THE SECRET

“Natura Bisse Inhibit is one of those rare potions that actually works. It’s pricey but not as much as injections, which honestly frighten me. Amalie runs the counter at Neiman’s in Merrick Park; she’s extremely adept and knowledgeable regarding how to apply the serum.” $765; Neiman Marcus at Shops at Merrick Park, 390 San Lorenzo Avenue in Coral Gables; 786-999-1000.

THE BAR

THE ARTIST

“My husband Andres and I met Darian Mederos when he first arrived from Cuba; he was 23 years old. He has become part of our family, and this painting Bohemia from his Obscura Series is my all-time favorite painting of our daughter Sophia.” condecontemporary.com/darian-mederos.

my 305 style STACY CONDE Gallery owner and author Stacy Conde of Conde Contemporary is a woman who wears many hats — and stylish ones at that. THE MANICURE

“Adina at Gloss is of the highest order in terms of professionalism. She’s an artist in her own right. But then she went one step beyond that and studied the actual physiology and biology of nails. She knows how to take care of you properly.” GLOSS Nail Bar, 214 Andalusia Avenue in Coral Gables; 305-569-7700; glossnaturals.com.

THE DISH

“I love gazpacho; it’s so light, refreshing and delicious in every way. At Bulla they are doing something with their gazpacho that I’ve never had before. It’s just ultra creamy, perfectly seasoned, and it’s just the right amount.” Bulla Gastrobar, 2500 Ponce de Leon Boulevard in Coral Gables; 786-810-6215; bullagastrobar.com.

INDULGE | DECEMBER 2019 / JANUARY 2020 | miamiindulge.com

“If I were to pick a favorite place to go and get a drink, it would be the Cellar Club Bar. Giant leather chairs, heavy wood paneling, excellent service, well-crafted cocktails, Marcona almonds... I mean, come on. It’s my favorite place to meet for a drink and hatch a plan.” Cellar Club Bar at the Biltmore, 1200 Anastasia Avenue in Coral Gables; 855-311-6903; biltmorehotel.com/dining/cellar-club-bar.

THE OILS

“I have been interested in herbalism and essential oils since I was 17, it’s been kind of an obsession of mine. Frankincense and myrrh are two oils I always have at home. They are antimicrobial, anti-fungal, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, the list goes on and on. Combine them with manuka honey and you have a very powerful remedy.” $29.82 and $27.99, auracacia.com.

THE READ

“‘Circe’ was given to me as a gift by our son’s girlfriend. In mythology, Circe was depicted as this witch who kept this man trapped on the island. Now the script is flipped and she’s able to tell the story from her point of view. It’s a really beautiful progression of girlhood and womanhood.” $27, Books & Books, 265 Aragon Avenue in Coral Gables; 305-442-4408; booksandbooks.com.

THE CHARITY

“I’m a huge fan of the work the Coral Gables Community Foundation does. Most people don’t realize that 70 percent of students at Coral Gables High School participate in the free or reduced lunch program. CGCF steps in and helps fill the gap in college funding by providing grants and scholarships to deserving students in need.” gablesfoundation.org.

The art of cancer care Miami Cancer Institute brings the latest cancer-fighting technologies to South Florida in a facility designed around patient needs, with open spaces filled with natural light and a peaceful lake view. And while expert teams use innovations to better understand and treat cancer, we also focus on the full spectrum of survivorship to address our patients’ psychological, social and spiritual needs. We even have our own art and music studio, where artistic expression helps reduce anxiety and boosts self-esteem while letting patients discover the healing power of the arts alongside others who are on a similar journey.

ALL THAT

Glitters

The nation’s first Baccarat Boutique BBar and Lounge now sparkles in the Miami Design District, and it’s a crystal-clear choice for any occasion.

ot that we needed any more proof that Miami has arrived — but tucked away on the second floor of the fashion-rich Design District’s Palm Court, you’ll find a world that sparkles at the new Baccarat Boutique BBar and Lounge. Dripping in crystal and splashed in vibrant colors set to match the District’s artsy vibe, it’s the French crystal maker’s first location of this concept in North America, following its chic introduction earlier this spring in Milan, with plans to open more in the future. You’re greeted by glittering shelves, tables and a bar cart filled with Baccarat’s pretty little things — exquisite tableware, vases, mirrors, and of course, their coveted glassware in sexy silhouettes. Dusting off their traditional look, this is not your grandmother’s Baccarat where everything must match; instead, everything feels like it’s meant to mingle and ready for a casual night in or hosting an extravagant soiree. The showstoppers of the space are the chandeliers that dazzle from above, including the peony and olivine hued Zenith chandeliers that were specifically made for the Miami location; adding to the color fest is the vibrant art by young French artist Alexandre Benjamin Navet that dots the walls. The beauty of this experience, everything the light touches is for purchase.

INDULGE | DECEMBER 2019 / JANUARY 2020 | miamiindulge.com

CANDY-COLORED DREAMS If you can detach your eyes from the baubles, move on to the bar and lounge, where bright chairs that resemble candy-colored jewels line the intimate bar and tables. The ambiance is set for any type of rendezvous that you desire. When the boutique opens at 11 a.m., settle in for coffee, tea, pastries or a light lunch; in the afternoon, treat yourself to high tea with an array of petit fours served on a gorgeous three-tier crystal tower. By early evening, a wellheeled crowd of regulars trickle in for cocktails and casual business meetings, and as the night progresses, the lights are dimmed, and the music is raised. Tuck away at a corner table for a romantic date until the boutique closes at a respectable 8 p.m. INTO THE LOOKING GLASS Choose from Champagne, wine, and around seven signature cocktails like the Supreme Narcisse made with vodka, Aperol, pink grapefruit syrup and cardamom syrup, all of which change with the seasons. Don’t see anything that strikes your fancy? With the B Experience, handpick your own glass, spirit, and flavor profile and the head bartender will concoct something

Sip your tea, cappuccino, Champagne or one of Baccarat’s curated signature cocktails (in the iconic brand’s own glassware, no less) surrounded by glittering crystal chandeliers and colorful artwork.

Choose from Champagne, wine, and around seven signature cocktails like the Supreme Narcisse made with vodka, Aperol, pink grapefruit syrup and cardamom syrup, all of which change with the seasons.

incredible to match your taste, so no two bespoke cocktails are the same. Settling on a silhouette is part of the journey, as you feel the hefty weight in your hand, and let’s be honest, everything tastes better in crystal. A top preference is the asymmetricalshaped Narcisse Champagne Coupe, imagined by sculptor and furniture designer Boris Tabacoff in the ‘70s to replicate the narcissus flower (a daffodil) that bends toward the water. (It’s rumored that its off-center shape was to allow you to hold a cigarette while sipping Champagne.) While traditionalists may choose a tipple in the iconic 1841 Harcourt Collection, the oldest in the Baccarat archive, color enthusiasts will be drawn to the chiseled-stemmed Vega flutes in cheery blue, red and green, or the Mosaique Tumblers that bring a festive spirit to any table. SIP AND SHOP Look for gift sets to celebrate newlyweds, a housewarming, or any special occasion that one might have. Gifting is a dream with bestsellers like the Bubble Box, a unique array of six Champagne glasses, along with decanters and pitchers sure to elevate any party. While you’re enjoying the bar/lounge, they’ll engrave your selection or envelop a gift in their signature ruby-red box — they’ll even hand deliver within five miles. This is a retail experience that I think we can all get behind, especially as the busy holiday season approaches. baccarat.com. WORDS BY ANGELA CARAWAY-CARLTON

{RAINMAKER}

Jennifer Roberts

As Chief Executive Officer of Design Miami/, Jennifer Roberts combines an astute eye for what’s new in the worlds of design and architecture with her natural rock ‘n’ roll edge.

DESIGN ON A MISSION Over the years, the Design Miami/ forum and its fairs have gathered together the most influential collectors, gallerists, designers, curators and critics from around the world so that design has become the new transformative and defining feature of Miami’s global appeal. That has been the vision and mission of Design Miami/ founder Craig Robins and his successor now at the helm, Roberts. This year, the mission reads loud and clear. The 15th edition of Design Miami/ will host a fresh crop of showstoppers under its new tent located in Miami Beach’s new 6-acre public park, Pride Park. This tent is hallowed ground for collectible design. A place for the playful and the dream-like; where irony becomes a tactile surface you can sit on and nostalgia redeems the soul through the intersecting narratives of metal, enamel and resin. Here pattern can be infallible, color revolutionary and elegance is always in the shape. This is where design will skillfully infiltrate and subvert your life, all while making you feel right at home. This will also be the place where many of this art season’s jaw-dropping sales will happen, as many inspired pieces find homes locally and abroad. Galerie Kreo is back for 2019, this time to present the new Efflorescence series by Virgil Abloh. Delta Air Lines and The Sacred Space team up for ROOTS by Atelier Marko Brajovic, a stunning pavilion made of a branching system that mimics the natural growth of mangrove roots. Even Instagram is getting in on the act and collaborating with Studio Swine to create a special gallery. The popular Curio program also returns in 2019 with its crowd-pleasing immersive installations that focus on a specific curated theme. This year, the conversation centers around a preoccupation on everyone’s mind: Water.

en Roberts is a jolt of high-octane creative energy. You kind of have to be when you’re the CEO of Design Miami/, Art Basel Miami Beach is only weeks away and your work day kicked off with international calls from at least three different time zones. “It’s all the sex, drugs and design,” Roberts jokes in a cool, breezy tone over all the pre-Basel vortex swirling inside her chic Miami Design District office. That slight scent of rock ‘n’ roll in the air? You’re not imagining it. Jen’s father was John P. Roberts, one of the founding fathers of Woodstock, and today, Jen Roberts is an active co-proprietor of both Woodstock Music and Art Festivals. “I grew up in Manhattan and my parents were quite chic in the ’70s and ’80s,” she declares. “Despite repeatedly being told not to play on the furniture, we would devise some creative games and imaginary worlds…” The “furniture” in question included a Vladimir Kagan Omnibus sofa and a pair of Joe Colombo Elda chairs. This will not be the last time beautiful design spawed fully fledged creative worlds inside her mind.

INDULGE | DECEMBER 2019 / JANUARY 2020 | miamiindulge.com

CONSERVING. PROTECTING. RISING. “We’ve seen the shift toward meaningful design and how it can address pressing issues such as climate change,” says Jen, who also works closely with the City of Miami Beach devising design solutions to address the urgent problem of rising seas. “This ties in with our curatorial themes … There is growth in the art and design market, but also in innovative and incredible architecture. I can’t wait to see Bjarke Ingels’ Miami Produce Center in Allapattah, and of course there is Zaha Hadid Architects’ One Thousand Museum.” LIFE LESSONS LEARNED Music, stewardship and design: formidable forces and sources of inspiration Roberts draws from daily. “I try to apply what I learned from Woodstock and the ideals of that generation, but it also comes from a more personal place — the general perspective of my father, who left my brother and I ‘a letter upon demise’ that talked about history, community, and fame separately. He wanted us to be involved members of our communities.” For Roberts, design is definitely an international affair. “I plan to expand Design Miami/ globally, educating people about how design is collectible and can solve everyday problems.” WORDS BY CAROLINA CARDONA / PHOTOGRAPHY BY NICK GARCIA / STYLED BY ELYSZE HELD

the movers BEHIND THE BALLER Hailing from a tiny Illinois town filled with soybean fields, Gardner had this undying belief he’d become the next Michael Jordan. Call it fate or just ambition, but he soon landed a football scholarship to the University of Miami. He started hanging with fellow UM football players, who took him to his first nightclub. “It was like what I had seen in ‘Scarface’ but in real life; palm trees, sandy beaches, and nightclubs.” His sophomore year, the team was up in D.C. to play Georgetown, and Gardner was out until sunrise. Gardner found his coach sitting on his hotel bed, waiting for his player to come home from a night of partying. Gardner was cut from the team. Getting removed from the team for ignoring curfew is something that still wrecks Gardner. “I can see if I had done something really bad, but I had just missed curfew,” Gardner says. “Now you’ve taken my life away from me.” He bounced to two other schools before ending up on that futon in his cousin’s barbershop in 1999, dreams of playing professional ball gone.

{LIFE OF THE PARTY}

Michael Gardner Before creating some of Miami’s greatest parties, he had a long climb to the top of the club scene.

f you know Michael Gardner today, you know him as the businessman, the buddy to your favorite performer, the absolute boss of the party scene. Then you might be surprised to know things were once so tough that he used to live in the back of a barbershop owned by his cousin. This was 20 years ago. He was 25, and it was rock bottom. Gardner remembers: “The barbers would come in every morning and say,

INDULGE | DECEMBER 2019 / JANUARY 2020 | miamiindulge.com

‘How do you always beat us in here every day?’” Nowadays, he runs some of the biggest nightclub events in Miami, organizes a major arts and music festival, handles exclusive afterparties for well-known music acts and has celebrities like Diddy, Mariah Carey, Jay Z and Beyoncé show up to his events. But to get to this point, Gardner had to deal with some of life’s serious sucker punches.

A CALL TO FAME Looking for something new, Gardner put together a weekend event with Ice T and Don “Magic” Juan as paid celebrity stars. “Oh man, it was a disaster,” Gardner recalls now. “It was the worst. Nobody showed up, and I lost the money I borrowed.” He tried it again, this time hitting up the celebrities who got their hair cut at the barbershop where he had been sleeping: Alonzo Mourning, Lamar Thomas and Jason Taylor. “I tasted a little bit of success with it,” Gardner says. The key to it working was what would end up making him successful: he paid attention to every detail. He founded his nightclub party company Headliner Market Group in 2001. Nowadays he’s best known for LIV On Sunday, a blowout at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach billed as “The World’s Greatest Party.” He also runs the after-parties for Chris Brown shows, which means traveling the country to make sure when Brown walks in, the place is crazy. Six years ago, he took over running the Overtown Music & Arts Festival, which grew from a neighborhood event to drawing 10,000 people in 2019. He’s also building out his first club called Harlem Square, a three-story lounge and cigar bar. It’s not the insane party he once would have planned — at 45, Gardner has different ideas of what defines an exciting night out. These days, Michael Gardner keeps a live-inthe-moment attitude, focusing on the reaction he sees from people at his events having a good time. His favorite moment is the end of the night when people are filtering out, the sun rising over Miami Beach, and another one of “The World’s Greatest Party” nights behind him.

{DESIGNER}

Ximena Kavalekas

Her handbags and wallets have earned her a place alongside European luxury brands in chic stores like Bergdorf Goodman in New York and En Avance in Miami.

ust how Hermès has its horse and shade of orange and Chanel has its camellia flower and quilting, Ximena Kavalekas is the queen of python. The accessories designer rules her kingdom from a sleek, sky-high atelier and showroom in a Brickell tower. Her coveted pieces are regulars on glossy shelves at select shops and in the digital realm. Exclusive collaborations have ranged from knitwear scion Margherita Missoni, who adorned the bestselling, boxy Mandolin 2.0 with daisies, to the same style with stripes for Mrs. Mandolin lifestyle store in Miami’s Buena Vista. So, it came with great surprise when Kavalekas announced she’s expanding into other materials beginning with the Pre-fall 2020 collection. “Python is my brand’s DNA. I love these prints, and they put me on the map,” said Kavalekas, who launched her namesake line in 2015. “The request came from a retailer, and I’m grateful for the challenge because I’ve grown as a designer.” Don’t get her wrong — the python isn’t going anywhere. It’s just being adapted in clever ways with the same resourcefulness that the invasive reptile has survived and thrived in the Florida Everglades. Kavalekas stretches her imagination with python-embossed calf leather for whole bags or accents on rattan bodies, and python-printed plaid, velvet and faux fur. “The faux fur and velvet look so real that you swear they are snakeskin until you touch them,” she said, flipping through swatches such as faux fur in hot pink to blush ombre. “They’re fashion-forward but sustainable too, if that’s an important factor to someone. I produce these bags in the same Italian factory that makes Stella McCartney’s eco line.” THE DELIGHT IS IN THE DETAILS She’s also bringing back chunky hardware after its hiatus during years of minimalist bags. Milky, opalescent acrylic chains adorn structured rattan bags with python accents colored like marine turtles, sunshine and ivory seashells for next summer. “Everybody does leather and wicker, so the challenge is how to make it my own,” she said, already getting orders for the new collection from her regular accounts and Flannels, a designer store in the UK with multiple locations. “I don’t believe in competing with the other guy. I compete against myself.”

INDULGE | DECEMBER 2019 / JANUARY 2020 | miamiindulge.com

Always open to collaboration, she’s working on a few projects with Miami influencers. Model Jenny Lopez offers curated pieces through her new e-commerce app, Jennyonthego, while Danie GómezOrtigoza designed petite versions of her signature head scarves to tie around bags. An exclusive, black clutch developed with fashion stylist and INDULGE Contributing Senior Fashion Editor Elysze Held is slated for fall, too. “It transitions from day to night and is basically Elysze in a bag,” said Kavalekas, who compares her muse to a living legend. “I have dreams of designing shoes and clothing someday. I want to see how much farther I can push myself.” WORDS BY REBECCA KLEINMAN / PHOTOGRAPHY BY FELIPE CUEVAS

{INTERIOR DESIGNER}

Francois Frossard

Responsible for designing some of Miami’s most famous nightclubs, this ‘king of interiors’ has taken his knack for creating sleek and sexy ambiances to private residences and international hotel projects.

he statuesque, silver-haired and impeccably dressed French gentleman walks into the conference room of his very own two-story office building. His magnificently designed offices are simply a slight representation of the large scale work this talent with an inherent je ne sais quoi is responsible for — both locally and internationally. Francois Frossard has been an integral part of Miami’s nightlife for the last two decades. He is very aware of what led him to his success — after all, the proof is in

INDULGE | DECEMBER 2019 / JANUARY 2020 | miamiindulge.com

the projects that he has flawlessly executed alongside a roster of major nightlife and hotel industry bigwigs. After years spent designing a slew of lofty projects including a slew of nightclubs, the Anatomy gym locations and even the legendary St. Tropez hotspot Les Caves du Roy at the Byblos Hotel, Frossard made the decision to continue his love affair with Miami but leave the banging bass of the nightclubs behind. Now, he would focus on the cities hottest grabs for acclaimed interior designers: hospitality projects and residential properties.

THE LURE OF NEON LIGHTS This French Alps-born guru was educated in Switzerland and Paris, where he studied design, engineering and dabbled in architecture. In the late 1980s, Frossard moved to Chicago, where he developed close relationships in the design world. Fourteen years later, he was working at an agency that designed conceptual megaclubs like Crobar in the MidWest. “When I worked on the project in Chicago,” Frossard explains, “they saw my skill. This all spiraled into meeting the who’s who of nightlife in Miami.”

Coinciding with a wave of modeling agency openings and Gianni Versace’s move to South Beach, Miami’s nightlife was booming. Through introductions, Frossard was referred to top-tier nightlife powerhouses of the 1990s like Eric Milon and Roman Jones. He was soon and unexpectedly hired as the lead designer on Crobar’s second outpost at the old Cameo theater on Washington Avenue. This led to an eventual big — and permanent — move to Miami. “I saw it as potential to bring my talent to Miami,” he says, “there is nothing like it in the world.” Frossard’s career accelerated as he retained Opium Group as his client and in the early stages of the Millennium, designing what would come to be defined as the city’s most exclusive clubs like Privé at Opium Garden, Mansion, Set and Louis. Frossard worked closely with Chris Paciello on celebrityfavorite Rockwell and the modern spaces of Anatomy, a chain of luxury gyms in South Florida. He is even responsible for the French Riviera-style vibe at the glamorous South Beach establishment Villa Azure. When Shareef Malnik needed to revamp The Forge, he too called Frossard, as did Dave Grutman, who recruited him to design Arcadia at the legendary Fontainebleau Miami Beach. The latest Pubbelly restaurants in Brickell City Centre and Aventura Mall? Yep. Those are Frossard’s, too. DESIGNING DREAM SPACES While working with Grutman on the Hard Rock Hotel project in Punta Cana, Frossard connected with the Chapur family. For the past seven years, he has been working as the exclusive designer for the group’s high-brow international properties located in Cabo San Lucas, Cancun and Jamaica. He is currently working on a 2,150-room hotel in Punta Cana. He has also just designed two private residences, one on North Bay Road and one in Cocoplum. While enticing for the eye to behold, beautifully designed interior spaces function best when they create a relaxed vibe for the people who are surrounded by them day-today. Relaxed vibes are what is on Frossard’s mind when he is not sketching away or meeting with clients. Along with a proclivity for travel, the avid boater just purchased a waterfront home in Miami Shores, which will allow him to kick his legs up and enjoy his version of the simple life, in the city whose aesthetic he had a hand in creating.

ix years ago, Ombretta Agró Andruff was seeking change from her fast-paced life in New York. She came to Miami thinking it would be temporary. That idea turned out to be short lived. Instead, Miami became home for the environmentalist-curator and she has been making waves in her industry ever since. THE ART, AND THE SAIL Italian born and raised in Torino, Agró Andruff spent her summers at her family’s estate in the coastal region of Sardinia. When she moved to Miami, she found herself reconnected with the ocean — a match made in heaven. An art curator for the past twenty years, Agró Andruff served on numerous boards including IKT, the International Association of Contemporary Art Curators, and the Art in Public Places Committee for the City of Miami Beach. In 2015, she decided to merge her interests, creating a business plan, partnering with the ArtCenter/South Florida (now Oolite Arts) and applying for a grant through the Knight Foundation to launch what may become her ultimate legacy; ARTSail, a program and residency for artists that educates people about global warming issues through artistic collaborations and interaction with marine experts and scientists. Merging art, science and the sea, ARTSail brings an artist to Miami for one month to focus on a specific environmental project that the artist proposes upon application. Agró Andruff’s team provides tools and arranges excursions — whether it is to dive in the reefs to monitor bleaching or to study and explore the Everglades — resulting in inspired artworks that have an enduring value as a form of advocacy.

She considers the Miami Beach spot “shabby chic, just like me!” Ultimately, spending time with artists is what truly “floats her boat.” Currently, she is working with her dear friend and renowned artist Antonia Wright on a project called “WWWW - Suffer in Style” that will be the next ARTSail residency. The two plan to produce a luxury chain of accessories inspired by environmental causes in an effort to make climate change more stylish. “It is about talking about dark issues with irony and humor,” she says, “while making it all — art, fashion, etc. — as accessible as Mother Nature.” WORDS BY ERIN MICHELLE NEWBERG / PHOTOGRAPHY BY NICK GARCIA

Eddy Samy & Daygee Kwia

{MUSIC MEN}

ou’ve probably seen them, and it’s more than likely you’ve danced to the music they spin. After all, Eddy Samy and Daygee Kwia have been taking over Miami’s music and nightlife scene as Paperwater, the production and music team that has landed coveted headlining slots at Faena, III Points, and Coyo Taco, where they host a monthly dance party. “We create everything in house — music, visuals, merchandise. Everything is DIY under our media company, Half/Full Creative,” says Daygee. “DJing allows us to stay current, to see what people are into and where music and culture is going, but we set ourselves apart by expressing our creativity outside of music as well — by doing audio installations and experiential pop-ups.”

MUSIC, MEDIA AND MORE Eddy and Daygee’s partnership traces back to high school, where the two met at football tryouts and bonded over a shared passion for music. “Daygee introduced me to making beats; we eventually became best friends,” says Eddy. After college, they decided to pursue music and art full-time. Other aspiring artists might have tried landing a record deal in New York or Los Angeles — but that’s never really been the goal for Paperwater. Having been signed to Warner Bros Records during an earlier stint with the band Aftersmoke, Daygee had other ideas. “I wanted to be a little outside the music industry while still being able to utilize it. LA might be cool eventually, but Eddy and I want to keep our homebase in South Florida.” “We also view Miami as less developed in the content creation space, so there’s much more room for us to grow independently,” adds Eddy. “What’s more, we’re incredibly inspired by South Florida’s beauty.” It’s worked for them so far. For their performance at this year’s III Points, they brought a six-piece band, shattering fans’ perception of them as a traditional DJ duo. Then there’s the media company they operate in collaboration with longtime friends and managers Aaron Turner and Alex Garcia, which focuses on creating unique multimedia content. And to top it all off, they also run a label called Wet Paper Records; the current roster spotlights rising homegrown talent, including singer-songwriter Morgan Bryson and producer-DJ Coffintexts.

The duo — known behind the decks as Paperwater — have made a name for themselves in a city overflowing with DJs. Their secret to success? They’re the full package. 78

NEXT ON THE SCENE Their next big endeavor is The Florida Project. It aims to showcase different artists in Miami’s creative community while allowing Paperwater to explore new sounds. “We want to inspire our fans — and other artists — to be individuals. We’re constantly categorized and put into a box and we don’t want to have our fans feel the same way. Do what makes you happy and everything else will follow,” says Daygee. Paperwater’s projects keep them busy, but they always make time for Art Week. This year, they’re working with A2F Studios in Wynwood to host workshops for artists and producers, and to provide free studio time during the week of Art Basel. As far as events go, they’re still finalizing the schedule. “Expect a crazy Ate O’ Ate party at Coyo Taco and some other pop-ups — details coming soon,” says Eddy, just giving a small taste of what’s to come.

{LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT}

Raymond Jungles

Making the world a greener place, from Faena House to the Ford Foundation.

hether you’re enjoying the delicious shade at one of Miami Beach’s best pools or surrounded by verdant vegetation at a luxe oceanfront condo, chances are that landscape architect Raymond Jungles is responsible for the palms and philodendron. The Nebraska native has made his living sprucing up private and public spaces since 1981, elevating landscaping from a menial task to an art form. Jungles’ pursuit of arboriculture has ranged from Mexico to Montana and Manhattan, but the majority of his pruning has been local spanning Faena House, The Confidante, Soho Beach House, Grove at Grand Bay, Apogee, Jade Signature, 1111 Lincoln Road and Miami Beach Botanical Garden.

ROOTED IN DESIGN Jungles is currently working on 15 new projects, from curating the greenscape for Illa Bimini Resort & Residences to redesigning the public park in North Beach as part of that community’s redevelopment. The scope of the $15-million park runs along the ocean, from 72nd Street to 75th Street, and was essential to securing the Ocean Terrace deal. “We're doing a new dune walk and bringing the dune back into the site,” says the aptly named Jungles. “Everything was just hardscaped before. We want to create a nice habitat for people with local flora and fauna.” Phase 1 of the ecorevitalization is underway on the southern half of the area, with phase 2 tied into the new hotel and condo on the northern half. Last summer, Jungles mounted a tropical exhibition at the New York Botanical Garden, inspired by his mentor, world-renowned landscape artist and designer Roberto Burle

Marx. The three-month-long, Brazilian-themed show (the largest in the Botanical Garden’s history) attracted over 250,000 horticulture fans, as well as socialites like Ana Khouri, Marina Larroude, Rafael Azzi, Francisco Costa and Amalia Spinardi. Also, in New York City, Jungles recently renovated the multilevel garden at the Ford Foundation For Social Justice. The glass-walled atrium, which is open to the public, was originally planted by Dan Kiley in 1967. Jungles updated the trees and plants to better suit the space’s light requirements, extreme slopes, temperature and humidity constraints, resulting in a leafy paradise in the midst of Midtown Manhattan. “As a landscape architect I get to work with great architects and developers,” notes Jungles. “And 99.9% of the time it works great as a total collaboration and we’re on equal ground. We won't take a project if the landscaping is only incidental. It has to really be a contributing factor. I like to work with the people at Herzog & de Meuron, Foster + Partners, Bjarke Ingels, Lake Flato, OMA, Chad Oppenheim and Rene Gonzalez because I learn a lot from them and hopefully they get the passion for landscape from me.” LUSH LIFE A Coconut Grove resident, Jungles is a walking billboard for the city: His new office and studio is off Aviation Avenue and his Arquitectonicadesigned home is minutes away. “I love this city, and the diversity of the people, the plants and the animals. The Grove has amazing amenities for the public. I love Old Cutler Road on Main Highway. I love walking through the Grove, South Grove, North Grove. It’s basically an urban forest.” WORDS BY JACQUELYNN POWERS MAURICE / PHOTOGRAPHY BY ROMAIN MAURICE

the movers {INDUSTRIAL DESIGNER}

David D’Imperio The Pennsylvania native is transforming Miami spaces with his striking linear lighting that doubles as art sculptures.

armonizing artistry and functionality can be a challenging assignment, but for award-winning industrial designer David D’Imperio, it’s a connection he has mastered. His innovative models of linear suspension lighting are not only functional, but also stunning art sculptures. “They are a combination of new technology and old-fashioned hand craftsmanship. I explore each idea through drawings, then models. Later I scale them up. The simple lines of the design are composed of hundreds of parts that have been cut, carved, polished, lacquered, turned, formed or engraved. Electricity then adds the final touch and magic,” he said. NATURAL INCLINATIONS D’Imperio is constantly being influenced by nature with new design prospects, such as his black anodized aluminum Diadema linear light, inspired by the Caribbean black sea urchin, or Beeline, a stainless steel honeycomb designed to give a reflective illusion of light and colors. Then there are other catalysts that morph into new directions, like his interest in the Rorschach’s inkblots used by psychologists to evaluate patients. He started with a series of wall sconces based on his own inkblots, later enlarging the images to create another model. “I eventually digitized it and assembled it to create a 6-foot-long inkblot sculpture full of LED lights you can hang over a conference or dining table. When

looking at it horizontally, it started to resemble some type of geographic map, and that’s why I named it Atlas,” he said. Many times he’ll start composing these projects for himself. When D’Imperio, who likes to entertain, needed a light source for his 10-footlong dining table, he designed it. These long lamps also solve space issues for interior designers and architects who seek visually beautifully light sources that can easily be customized. His linear collection can start at 4 feet, and grow in increments of 2 feet, up to 10 feet. Each piece is handmade and primarily composed of stainless steel or a combination of stainless steel and aluminum, selling on average from $2,500 to $8,500. SHAPING LIGHT Originally from Pennsylvania, D’Imperio studied graphic design and worked as an art director for an advertising agency for several years. His desire to create things gave way to the first-ever integrated aquarium, which he produced commercially and received a U.S. invention patent. He designed furniture, beautifully crafted loudspeakers, and ultimately took an interest in working with low voltage lighting. After seeing demand existed for his illuminated sculptures at a New York show, he stopped producing everything else and just concentrated on those. Today he designs and produces his David D’Imperio lighting collection,

INDULGE | DECEMBER 2019 / JANUARY 2020 | miamiindulge.com

“The simple lines of the design are composed of hundreds of parts that have been cut, carved, polished, lacquered, turned, formed or engraved.” his loudspeaker line for OMA, and special commissioned architectural projects such as the two homes he designed in Miami. D’Imperio now divides his time between Miami and his vintage, mid-century home with an attached production studio in Deland, Florida. There he assembles his sculptures,

still fascinated by the artistic wonder of how they look when you power them up. “Boom! It comes on. It becomes active, looking different in the morning than it does at night. That’s what’s cool about lighting. They light things up, they light me up!” WORDS BY SARA FIFI CASTANY / PHOTOGRAPHY BY FELIPE CUEVAS

Rina Carvajal The forward-thinking director of the Museum of Art & Design is reinventing how culture is reaching the people of Miami… beyond the museum wall

utting her passion for art on full display, Rina Carvajal is on a mission to spread her magic throughout Miami. As Executive Director and Chief Curator of the Miami Dade College Museum of Art and Design (MOAD), she is opening, connecting and expanding public participation to art on a citywide scale through her Museum Without Boundaries initiatives. By taking art, design, performances, and other events to the greater community, MOAD is promoting culture and dialogue on critical social issues. The idea came to Carvajal as a way of keeping the museum programs ongoing, as the building was undergoing renovations. “It’s a very contemporary idea of what an institution should be. Our mission is very progressive and I think that’s what Miami needs. I am also at a point in my life that these are concerns I have. How do we live in a society that includes everyone? How do we create cultural projects that are for everyone? And how do we make this city more human through our work,” said Carvajal, from her office in the museum, housed inside the historic Freedom Tower in Downtown Miami. BRINGING ART TO THE PEOPLE Carvajal has organized international biennials, managed public art commissions, and designed, and implemented many modern and contemporary art exhibitions around the world. Hired by Dr. Eduardo Padrón over two years ago to put MOAD on the map, she has undoubtedly breathed new life into the museum. Presently, she also oversees the MDC Special Collections, comprised of the Kislak Center, The Cuban Exile Experience and Cultural Legacy Gallery. Born in Caracas, Venezuela, her parents tried to dissuade her from an art career by suspending their financial support until she chose a more respectable path, such as law. Refusing to give in, Carvajal studied at night and worked during the day at the Caracas Museum of Contemporary Art, under its founder, Sofia Imber. Years later, she would return to be the director of that museum. Her mom finally backed down, encouraging her to, ”Pick a place in this world where there are people like you so you can be happy, and attend the best university to study what you love.” Carvajal headed to New York University’s Institute of Fine Arts, earning a Bachelor and Master, and ultimately working for The Metropolitan Museum for several years. She’s gracious and soft-spoken, with a magnetic personality that captivates your full attention. Discussing the esthetics of art turns into an impassioned conversation on why we should examine the beauty of things, as well as what is not so beautiful. Her natural gift for engaging others may be why she has received so much support from the community. “I must say that has helped me do all the things that I am doing. I have created monumental things in my career, but it is also because of the chain of people that support me… a chain of good will.”

Sandra Muss

A self-described “visual alchemist,” Muss aims to illustrate the choices we make throughout our lives through her nature-inspired abstracts constructed with various found materials and canvases.

ver since she was a young girl, artist Sandra Muss has been rummaging around the woods for natural treasures. She’s still rooted in the woods at her northern studio, a converted, 19th-century lumber mill in the Berkshires, while her trove has grown to encompass all sorts of found objects for her multimedia works. “The writer and artist Bruce Helander described me as ‘a scavenger of beauty,’” said Muss, a snowbird who also runs her international art career from New York and a warehouse in Miami Beach’s Sunset Harbour. “Like I found a piece of scrap metal that I think was used to test car paint. I left it outside for a while to get more of a patina and will manipulate it into a new entity.”

THE DOORS TO THE FUTURE Though painting was her first love, Muss has been on a roll with large-scale sculptures that often incorporate sound and an ongoing series based on repurposed wooden door frames and fabricated, mirrored steel frames. Enter Pulse art fair director Cristina Salmastrelli, who selected some of these installations for the 2019 edition in December. Portals: Dream of Flight, which premiered at Belmond Villa San Michele hotel outside Florence to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Leonardo da Vinci’s death this year, will be placed at the fair’s entrance. Because da Vinci experimented with flight at the Tuscan site, Muss pays homage through 10-foot-tall, cylindrical sculptures of Cor-Ten steel whose cutouts resemble cicada wings. Recorded cicada songs pipe from the works for an immersive connection.

“The mirrored interiors reflect their environment and people around them. They’re designed to explore the complex relationship between humans and nature,” she said of her serendipitous foray into Miami art week that also includes the equally philosophical “Open Doors” on view at Pulse’s hotel partner Eden Roc. “The doors are about pathways to ourselves and other worlds — to wherever you want to go.” Muss is fascinated by the magical world that exists within the

wardrobe in “The Chronicles of Narnia” by C.S. Lewis. She hopes to recreate the same sense of wonder with her door series and enjoys watching people obsessively try to figure out what’s behind them. For Pulse, there are seven repurposed wood doors with mirror and neon. “They have the elements of exploration, new worlds and new possibilities,” she said, planning to exhibit different versions at Artscape Lab, a gallery in the mainland’s Little River district, in February.

A NATURAL WOMAN Like many of us, Muss is concerned about the political climate and the actual climate and is developing several concepts that expand on her signature motifs and materials. “But I’d also like to do something about climate change,” said Muss, who’s every bit the nature girl she was as a kid. “I look at Biscayne Bay with all the high rises, and there’s still so much nature. It’s important for us to be part of the natural world.” WORDS BY REBECCA KLEINMAN / PHOTOGRAPHY BY JASON FRIX

While many of her pieces showcase earthy elements, Muss is also captivated by the movement of light and how through art, it can be used to reflect human emotions.

FSCL The Florida Sugar Cane League combines cutting edge technology with responsible farming methods to increase efficiency and production while protecting the environment. FSCL members farm predominately in the Everglades Agricultural Area south of Lake Okeechobee, one of the most productive and sustainable agricultural basins in the world. Florida is the nation’s leading grower of sugarcane, and sugarcane farming supports 12,500 Florida jobs and has a $3.2 billion annual impact, says Gaston Cantens, Vice President of Corporate Relations at Florida Crystals Corp. FSCL has invested $250 million in equipment and implementation of on-farm Best Management Practices that have received national recognition for their success in environmental restoration. For the past 25 years, Florida sugarcane farmers have met the strictest and most protective water-quality standards in the country, reducing by 56 percent on average the amount of phosphorous in water leaving their farms, more than twice what is required, Cantens says. To ensure continued success, water samples are regularly sent to independent labs for quality testing. High-tech farming methods called Precision Agriculture have dramatically increased efficiency and sustainability. Before a farmer plants, soil samples are sent to university laboratories to determine the exact amount of nutrients needed and precisely where they are needed. GPS and auto-steer technology keep tractors and harvesters on precise lines to deliver those nutrients, while satellite imaging tracks the health of crops and analyzes issues on a farm-by-farm basis, saving time, energy and resources. “Florida sugarcane farmers take great pride in our sustainability efforts and our partnership in Everglades restoration,” Cantens says. “Our agricultural teams are led by scientists and PhDs who are constantly researching new technology to keep our industry ahead of the curve.” Agriculture will continue to be one of Florida’s leading economic engines and job providers, Cantens says, and the industry continually seeks highly skilled workers. Training programs are critical to continued success, and FSCL is helping to provide them. At one milling facility, for example, an industrial skills academy trains local students, pays them while they learn and guarantees them jobs when they graduate. The future looks bright, Cantens says. “South Florida farmers expect to continue playing a role in helping our nation meet its ever-growing food needs safely and affordably, while protecting the air, land and water.”

Miami-Dade Transit A transit system that is fast, convenient, and reliable is the goal of Alice N. Bravo, P.E., Director of Miami-Dade County’s Department of Transportation and Public Works. “We’re trying to be on the cutting edge of transit options and mobility solutions for everyone,” she says. The Strategic Miami Area Rapid Transit (SMART) Plan will extend mobility systems in six growing areas of the county through public and private partnerships. An agreement with Virgin Trains (formerly Brightline) provides for additional stations to make commuting more convenient. Additionally, plans for a Bus Rapid Transit system along the South Dade Transitway are already under way, which will provide highquality transit service operating with the similar features as rail. Buses will travel in dedicated lanes using technology that automatically turns traffic signals green. “The buses will never be stuck in traffic,” Bravo says. An app that offers real-time information and tracking for bus and rail with a trip planning feature can make life for transit riders easier. Riders can already use contactless payment options to pay their fares on board Metrorail simply by tapping a contactless-enabled credit card or digital wallet. For some low-income residents, public transit is the only transportation option, Bravo notes. “It’s their sole means of access to employment, Education, and health care. We need a clean, safe, and reliable system for everyone.” For others, maintaining a car requires a significant percentage of their incomes. Getting rid of it could mean having more spending money. “We can improve their quality of life by developing a transit system that moves them as fast as a car,” Bravo says. But not everyone will use public transit. So plans also call for improved travel by car. Smart technology will synchronize traffic signals. “They’ll adjust to traffic flow so you can hit as many green lights as possible,” Bravo says. Carpooling and ride sharing partnerships can also help to reduce traffic congestion. The county has joined forces with WAZE Carpool to encourage help alleviate congestion. The service connects drivers and riders with similar destinations by pairing them on the most optimal routes. Carpooling provides an alternative to thousands of daily commuters to get to their destination, including Metrorail stations or Metrobus Park-&-Ride facilities. Transit should also be attractive. In 2016, the Transit Loves the Arts campaign collected submissions from local artists to cover some Metrobuses. “We still have those speciallywrapped buses on the streets and people truly enjoy seeing these colorful works of art,” Bravo says. “It makes for a brighter, happier commute.” In keeping with that tradition, local artist David Anasagasti did a live painting using a Metrobus as his canvas. His original design will also be printed on EASY tickets. “We’re doing this,” Bravo says, “because transit loves the arts.”

MIXED

MENU South Florida is a melting pot of cultures, and that’s nowhere more evident than on the tables of local top chefs.

alk down any random block in Miami right now and chances are you’ll see menorahs and twinkly lights and maybe the signs of a dozen other ways to celebrate the holidays. If it happens to be Hanukkah, the night before Christmas or New Year’s, you might smell a whole-roasted mojo pig or the rich smell of black-eyed peas simmering or the intoxicating smell of latkes crisping up — or all of them at once. In South Florida, where so many cultures have come together to live not in designated neighborhoods like in other cities but in every corner, that diversity becomes that much more obvious during the holidays. To dive into what that means for our culinary holiday traditions, we went to the experts, local chefs who have melded their cultures and come up with unique-to-South-Florida feasts.

CHEF LINDSAY AUTRY THE REGIONAL KITCHEN & PUBLIC HOUSE Favorite dishes: The holidays are nostalgic for Autry, so she goes back to recipes that remind her of growing up in North Carolina: for breakfast it is scotch eggs, creamy grits, crispy country ham and biscuits.

DECEMBER 2019 / JANUARY 2020 | INDULGE

the life Clockwise from left: These local stars on the restaurant scene — chefs Lindsay Autry, Benjamin Goldman, Oscar del Rivero and Brad Kilgore — let us in on the holiday dishes that they cannot get enough of.

At dinner, it’s a beef rib roast or whole turkey, potato gratin, braised greens, and “and always pecan pie.” Spice it up: After living in Mexico for three years, she added a new tradition. “The classic chiles en nogado, which is a roasted poblano pepper stuffed with picadillo and then garnished with a creamy walnut sauce and pomegranate seeds, is something I crave during this time of year.”

CHEF BRAD KILGORE ALTER, BRAVA, KAIDO SUSHI DEN AND EMBER Go-to holiday recipe: “For Christmas it's the honey-glazed ham. I always serve it with my grandfather’s recipe of raisins and pineapple stewed down together with a pinch of cinnamon.” How to crush it: Never buy a frozen ham, which will likely dry out. Make an easy glaze by boiling a cup of honey with a half cup of

brown sugar, half a lemon and some cayenne pepper. “If you are feeling saucy add a splash or two of whiskey that you are sipping on.” Holiday miracle: His oven went out one year when the whole family came over for Thanksgiving. “All I had was a gas grill on the porch. I used the grill to bake all the casseroles and the rest of the food.” CHEF OSCAR DEL RIVERO BAKAN Favorite holiday dish: Mexican bacalao, or salted cod, with tomatoes, garlic, onions, olives, parsley, potatoes and almonds. “The recipe is labor-intensive but worth the effort.” How to crush it: Peel and roast the almonds, and don’t stress out about how many you’re eating. “If the recipe calls for two cups of almonds and you ate half a cup while peeling them, it will still turn out delicious.” And the leftovers: Make more bacalao than you need, and the next day you’ll have a bacalao torta, or a Mexican sandwich of crusty baguette stuffed with the fish and a mildly spicy pepper cured in vinegar called chilacas. CHEF BENJAMIN GOLDMAN PLANTA SOUTH BEACH Favorite holiday dishes: His mother’s noodle kugel and braised brisket.

INDULGE | DECEMBER 2019 / JANUARY 2020 | miamiindulge.com

Or there’s Aunt Elise’s famous mashed potatoes and stuffing. “Since I’m now plant-based, my family and I get together to create plant-based versions of these recipes.” How to crush it: Instead of brisket, Goldman says an excellent substitute is jackfruit simmered eight hours in a crockpot. “We braise it with ingredients like sweet chili sauce, ketchup and soda. It’s juicy, rich, earthy and packed with flavor.”

the life Clockwise from left: Chefs Jose Icardi, Adrianne Calvo, Giannis Kotsos, and Jason Acoba each add their own spice to their traditional holiday tables.

How it’s different in South Florida: “Because South Florida is an extension of the Caribbean, it’s easy to get ingredients here that you’d typically find in the islands. That makes it easier to keep certain traditions alive.” How to crush it: Switch up how you prep meats by smoking instead. At home, Calvo says the easiest way is a great backyard gadget: a Big Green Egg.

CHEF JOSE ICARDI DIEZ Y SEIS AND LEYNIA Holiday tradition: Being Argentinian, it’s all about Christmas Eve, usually spent in the backyard with a family pot-luck. “We cook all day, eat, drink and dance. At midnight we toast and open all of the gifts and the party continues with pan dulce and cider.” How to crush it: Marinate the lechón a la estaca, the Argentinian version of Miami’s caja china pork, the night before and slow-cook over hickory wood. Best holiday memory: Picking nuts and fruits from his family’s tiny farm that his mother would then bake into the pan dulce eaten at midnight on Christmas Eve. CHEF ADRIANNE CALVO RED FISH BY CHEF ADRIANNE, CHEF ADRIANNE'S VINEYARD RESTAURANT AND WINE BAR, AND CRACKED BY CHEF ADRIANNE Holiday tradition: Calvo hands off the cooking duties to dad, who roasts a whole hog in a custom-made smoker. Meanwhile, her “mom and grandmothers take over the kitchen doing traditional Cuban Christmas dishes from recipes handed down from generations.”

CHEF GIANNIS KOTSOS MERAKI GREEK BISTRO AND MERAKI IN THE GROVE Holiday tradition: In Greek households, holidays mean lamb. But, living in South Florida, Kotsos adds seafood to his holiday meals. Working alongside kitchen staff from the world over has influenced his dishes, which have included a spicy Cajun “dirty” rice. How to crush it: Elevate traditional dishes by adding Mediterranean spices, like oregano, bay leaves, clove, cumin, cinnamon and lemon zest. CHEF JASON ACOBA KATSUYA SOUTH BEACH Holiday tradition: Tapping into his heritage, Acoba says the holidays mean a traditional Hawaiian-Filipino “kamayan feast,” spread out over banana leaves and eaten with your hands. The South Florida twist: Living here now, he changes the traditional Filipino recipes to include chimichurri and ceviche sauces. How to crush it: “Don’t make it too extravagant. Keep it simple. It’s about the company.” For more holiday dishes by Miami’s chefs, please visit miamiherald.com/ indulge. WORDS BY ERIC BARTON

the life {RECIPE}

An elevated experience Joel Robuchon may be gone, but his protégé looks to lessons he learned from the famed chef to find inspiration for the culinary creations at L’Atelier. WORDS BY ERIC BARTON / PHOTOGRAPHY BY FELIPE CUEVAS

f you’re wondering where the world’s finest chefs get their inspiration — maybe a fond memory of family meals or a culinary adventure to somewhere exotic — it’s not always that romantic. Sometimes it’s just a really cool bowl, wide with gentle folds, as if architect Frank Gehry worked with the white porcelain. This very piece got chef Gregory Pugin thinking, experimenting and dreaming about what kind of culinary innovation could sit in the center of that snow-white vessel. The dish he chose is called “Le Crabe,” a jelly with stone crabs served with a fennel purée and a dollop of caviar. While it may be Pugin’s invention, if you make it in your own kitchen, your dinner guests just might wonder where you received your culinary training.

ABOVE THE REST When Pugin originally created the dish, he had just started his new job as executive chef at what might be the most anticipated restaurant opening in Miami in a generation. L'Atelier, in the Design District, was dreamed up by famed chef Joël Robuchon before his death in August 2018. It’s now up to his protégées to run the place and uphold the standards of a man who, since opening his first restaurant in Paris in 2003 and spreading into a worldwide brand, collected a record 32 stars in the Michelin Guide. The Miami location is a far-reaching venture, with the more casual Le Jardinier restaurant on the bottom

floor and then L’Atelier above it. The upstairs is dominated by a curving 34-seat chef’s counter that affords diners a kitchen view to watch their multi-course meals come together. For Pugin, L’Atelier is the culmination of a career he pictured since he was a kid, when he dreamed of someday taking on the same head chef role his father held at restaurants in Tarbes, a tiny mountain town in southern France. The younger Pugin went to culinary school and began work at 16 at the acclaimed Hotel du Palais. In 2001, at age 21, he took a job with Robuchon, ending up on a four-person culinary team called The Laboratory, whose job it was to handle new city openings for the company. In Paris, New York and Tokyo, Pugin began earning the trust of his mentor, who asked for one simple thing: perfection. “You learn to be the most perfectionist you can be. Everyone in his kitchen knew exactly what they were supposed to do,” Pugin says. After six years with Robuchon, Pugin became executive chef of Veritas in New York, where he collected a Michelin Star and a James Beard Foundation nomination for Rising Star Chef of the Year. In 2013, he became head chef at Palme d’Or at the Biltmore Hotel. LOFTY AMBITIONS His goals at L'Atelier are unabashed: Beard awards and getting the Michelin Guide to expand to Florida and recognize his work and the cooking

of others here. But he’s not thinking of that when he’s back in the kitchen. “Me, I work for me. I don’t check who’s coming that night, because for me, you need to be ready as if the Michelin reviewer is coming to Miami.” Pugin says the dish featured here is reminiscent of the flavors of a bouillabaisse from his home in

France but also inspired by Miami, with an ingredient — stone crabs — that’s fresher nowhere else because they arrive the morning after they are caught. Combining local ingredients with a classic dish, it’s the kind of effort his mentor encouraged. Pugin says: “This is a dish Mr. Joël Robuchon would have approved of.”

OLD TOWN ELEGANCE Live in the lap of luxury at Ocean Key Resort & Spa.

little over three hours south of Miami by car, there’s a tranquility to Key West that few other places have. In the heart of it all, where the Gulf of Mexico meets the Atlantic Ocean at the end of famed Duval Street, you’ll find my favorite enclave to bask in its tropical glory: Ocean Key Resort & Spa. Offering a taste of Old Key West sophistication in a casual destination known for its anything-goes bars, fishing and diving, this boutique Noble House property is perfect for an easy South Florida escape. Minutes after pulling up to valet, I was walking to my room with a homemade

rum runner in hand — signaling the start of my weekend in paradise. SLEEP BY THE SEA The first thing I noticed about my Ocean View Junior Suite was how spacious it was. Spread across 600 square feet, the open-plan bedroom-living room had a plush king bed with a queen pull-out sofa, two flat screen TVs and a private balcony overlooking Duval Street and the Gulf of Mexico. A sojourn at the Ocean Key Resort (located right where the famous Duval Street begins) includes sprawling terraces with superb views of the sunset.

WISH YOU WERE HERE

YOUR OCEANFRONT OASIS

Greetings from Miami Beach! We’re loving the playful and retro-glam vibes at this hotel – it feels so nostalgic! We’re living a kaleidoscope of experiences like vibrant mid-century modern décor, a chic backyard pool vibe, cool cocktail scene and a mod rooftop spa. Plus we’re staying right between the hustle of South Beach and the bustle of Miami’s hip art districts. Wish you were here, Your Confidante

the life

Fusing a little bit of South Beach chic with that quintessential Key West kitsch, it was bright and colorful, with floral fabrics, light linens, wooden armoires handpainted in yellows, teals and greens, bringing the colors of the outside in. There are 100 generous rooms and suites at Ocean Key — from 300 square-foot guest rooms to a 1,200 square-foot penthouse — so wherever you sleep, you won’t be disappointed. Take it all in with a bubble bath in your oversized tub. (Noble House’s coconut-mango bath products will make you feel like you’re living a real Caribbean dream.) DOCKSIDE DINING Ocean Key’s signature restaurant, Hot Tin Roof, has become a musttry for anyone visiting the island. Named after one of the most famous plays by one of Key West’s most famous residents, Tennessee Williams, it’s here that diners can feast on chef Scott Maurer’s “conch-fusion” cooking style, which melds local Florida Keys’ ingredients with influences spanning from the island’s abundant seafood to its close proximity to Cuba. I started my mornings on its covered, waterfront terrace, drinking coffee and eating Corn Flake-Crusted French Toast with whipped cinnamon butter. At lunch, I didn’t want to leave my cabana at the gulf-front

INDULGE | DECEMBER 2019 / JANUARY 2020 | miamiindulge.com

Guests can enjoy the lavender-hued early evening skies while taking a stroll along the property’s pier; tropical-chic vibes define the indoor spaces; take the plunge at LIQUID Pool Bar and Lounge, featuring newly designed cabanas.

LIQUID pool, bar and lounge, so I gladly followed the friendly waitress’ suggestion and ordered a signature Limonada Azul vodka cocktail and Coconut Shrimp right to my chair. Just steps away, Ocean Key’s Sunset Pier recently reopened after 18 months of repairs from Hurricane Irma. This world-famous pier has been praised as the best sunset viewing spot in America, not just Key West, since 1981. Grab a mojito and Conch Hushpuppies on its deck, and you’ll see why. At night, go back to Hot Tin Roof for a romantic experience. Think: sunset views, a torchlit pier and tantalizing dinner plates like fresh-caught Seared Grouper with a chorizo-coconut curry and boniato mash, Plantain-Crusted Swordfish with a tequila-poblano chile sauce and bowls of perfectly charred vegetables that leave you just full enough. The Tableside S’mores and Island Pineapple Rum Cake are musts, and the entire menu is available for room service. I did it once, and sunk into a happy food coma just steps from my bed. If that’s not paradise, I don’t know what is.

the life Key West-inspired luxuries are available at Madda Fella; take in cocktails and dinner at Hot Tin Roof, later settling in for the evening with a relaxing bath and luscious products by Noble House; LIQUID Pool Bar and Lounge at night.

WHERE THE LIVIN’ IS EASY Like its surrounding Key West, life at Ocean Key is all about relaxing. Lay by the pool at LIQUID. Buy Key West-inspired clothes and trinkets from the hotel’s Madda Fella or Ocean Key Boutique. Work off that Limonada Azul on the treadmill in the poolside gym. Get a Signature Facial at Ocean Key Resort’s SpaTerre, where a 50-minute, rejuvenating exfoliation and a face, neck and shoulder massage made me drift off into a peaceful sleep. MORE THAN THE “DUVAL CRAWL” Duval Street has long been known for its bevy of bars and saloons, but Key West isn’t just for partiers! Spend your days on a sunset cruise, jet skiing or parasailing with Fury Water Adventures, located right outside the hotel. Get a dose of culture at the Ernest Hemingway Home & Museum. Do stand-up paddleboarding with Lazy Dog Kayaking and Paddleboarding. Shop the cute fashion boutiques and art galleries on and around Duval Street. Take a photo at the famed Southernmost Point, exactly 90 miles from Cuba, and come back with a slice of sweet and creamy Key lime pie from Kermit’s Key Lime Pie Shop. (The owner, Kermit Carpenter, has been selling his Key lime pies in Key West for over 27 years.) Of course, whatever you do, don’t miss the nightly Sunset Celebration on Mallory Square, which lines one side of Ocean Key Resort & Spa. Locals and visitors honor the occasion with live music, stilt walkers, comedians, mimes, sword swallowers and more every night. When the sun finally sets, everyone cheers! Because in paradise, there’s always something worth cheering for. WORDS BY JENNIFER AGRESS

Eastern Influence Home to exclusive art, awe-inspiring architecture, chic rooftop bars and a discerning foodie’s pick of innovative menus, Singapore is defining what it means to be a modern metropolis.

ingapore is more than a playground for the “crazy, rich” of the world. Classified as an Alpha+ Global City and the ninth of only 11 countries with AAA credit rating, Southeast Asia’s city state is a bustling metropolis with local colors and flavors that have enchanted chefs, movie stars, art dealers and curious travelers for decades. As an expert in the culinary world, I was invited to Singapore this past year to attend one of the biggest international events in gastronomy. The World’s 50 Best Restaurants ceremony is the Oscars of the food world. While I was looking forward to crowning this year’s winner — an honor that went to chef Mauro Colagreco’s Mirazur — I was excited to visit this magical, mysterious republic that had always captivated me. While there, I found myself insatiable for its rich culture, endless options in food and cocktails, and, of course, the region’s incredible art.

GREAT EXPECTATIONS Be prepared to embark on a long journey. From Miami, the trek is over 24 hours with stops. Singapore Airline can get you there in 19 hours direct from Newark, a flight that holds the crown as the world’s longest in 2019, according to Forbes. Once you arrive, the expansive Changi Airport welcomes travelers with an array of

visual stimulation. A jaw-dropping rain vortex and its forest valley, the airport’s latest addition, are approachable from all terminals and are quite the spectacle to behold. You will also find unique art from the get-go, like the dynamic Kinetic Rain sculpture where a thousand copperplated aluminum droplets are harmoniously choreographed to create “raindrops.” Among the cultural landmarks to take in are the ArtScience Museum (above), located inside the Marina Sands Resort, and the EsplanadeTheatres on the Bay performing arts center (left).

Other must-see masterpieces include A Million Times at Changi, the world’s biggest kinetic artwork created with 504 clocks that unpredictably move and spin to generate a variety of geometric designs and patterns; Les Oiseaux (The Birds) — a stainless steel wire sculpture of three birds by French artist Cédric Le Borgne; and Petalclouds, a seamless amalgamation of art, music and science. Those traveling through the airport can also engage in art activities found in all terminals, which encourage visitors to create their own woodblock prints inspired by Singapore’s culture. The best part? The artwork becomes a complimentary personalized souvenir to take home.

LEAVE NO STONE OR MENU UNTURNED Though I was anticipating the Worlds 50 Best Restaurant award ceremony and after-party (decadent, entertaining and a bit like an annual high-school reunion), I became even more enthralled about exploring local spots featured on several prestigious World’s Best lists, many with cocktail and food menus featuring ingredients from the archipelago’s own natural resources. For instance, there is Native — #12 on the World’s 50 Best Bars in 2019 — bespoke cocktail bar with no outside sign telling patrons they’ve arrived at their location. Owner Vijay Mudaliar creates unusually innovative cocktails, foraging through regional produce as a true advocate for sustainability. Number 38 on that same list is The Old Man, a bar that can be credited with the most obvious and intelligent design feature: a cooling strip running down the middle of the counter, which keeps the oh-so-trendy drinks offered at optimal temperature.

RAFFLES SINGAPORE

Clockwise: Grand, Art Deco-inspired interiors at Atlas; a classic Singapore Sling from Long Bar at the iconic Raffles Hotel; the exclusive Oignon Doux des Cevennes dish at Corner House; the colorful Butterfly Pea Gin & Tonic cocktail at Brass Lion Distillery; the maitake, white porridge and soy cured yolk with white truffle at Burnt Ends.

ARTISTIC TENDENCIES Experience as many of the over 50 museums found in Singapore and be left marveling at the city-state’s exhibition of their inimitable culture. From the expansive collection of Southeast Asian art from the 19th century at the National Gallery Singapore (formerly the Supreme Court and City Hall) to its inclusive, kid-friendly installations, visitors get a glimpse into the regions’s extensive, elaborate history. After hours of viewing the striking pieces at the celebrated museum, visitors can savor award-winning cocktails at the building’s rooftop bar Smoke and Mirrors, or enjoy High Tea/Kueh-Kueh at the National Kitchen by Violet Oon Singapore. If hunger strikes, dine at the three-Michelin star Odette, where diners get a front row seat to the chef’s process from the glass-enclosed kitchen. If your quest for unforgettable art experiences is still not satiated, The National Museum of Singapore hosts exhibitions that trace the history of Singapore from its beginnings to the present. One exhibit to keep on your radar no matter how busy your itinerary becomes is the permanent Living Galleries, which focus on food, fashion, film and photography of the 20th and 21st centuries. Embark on a visual adventure into Singapore’s past with the museum’s newest exhibit “An Old New World.” The exhibit tells the lesser-known stories of this country’s history, 200 years before the arrival of Sir Stamford Raffles, and features over 220 artifacts including 75 loans from institutional and private collections.

Before heading back to the USA on the second 19-hour flight of my week, I headed to ATLAS, the majestically ornate bar with a #8 spot in the World’s 50 Best Bars 2019 list. Boasting over 1,000 gins, Atlas offers a special selection of cocktails that give a nod to the bygone, lavishness of the Art Deco era. From roasted espresso to a shimmering flute of Champagne, to grand cocktails inspired by hallmarks of the Roaring 20s, the cocktails, like the city-state they are found in, are a celebration of glamour, beauty and endless visual inspiration. WORDS BY TERRY ZARIKIAN

DANNY SANTOS; SINGAPORE TOURISM BOARD

LAST MINUTE MUSTS Take a stroll through the impressive Singapore Botanic Garden at sundown for breathtaking views if the more than 10,000 species of flora found at the 202-acre property. Once there, make sure to dine at Corner House (pro tip: make advance reservations). A highlight of the multi-layered, elevated dining experience at the “gastro-botanica” is chef Jason Tan’s Oignon Doux des Cevennes, a sublime, creamy concoction made with a perfectly cooked 62-degree egg and a heritage onion from France renowned for its tender and sweet qualities. Head downtown to Chijmes, a former convent girls school located on Victoria Street that houses the exquisite Gothic Revival-style Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus Chapel, unmissable for architecture buffs. The space also has shopping and a plethora of dining options nestled around its lush foliage. Opt for New Ubin Seafood, famous for its New Ubin Garlic Baked Whole Crab, and an extraordinary (unexpectedly, I admit) Carbonara. For an education in Singapore’s trendier haunts, visit Haji Lane, a row of independent fashion shops and small restaurants in the Wynwood-like neighborhood of Kampong Glam.

Elements of Art Week One of the highlights of Miami Art Week is Teresita Fernández’s exhibit Elemental, an unparalleled experience of over 50 artworks by one of the nation’s leading contemporary artists, presented at the Pérez Miami Art Museum. Fernández brings to light relationships between elemental materials, nature, history, and the cultural, socio-political references tied to the perception of place. Consider this presentation the gate door to a week overflowing with inspired artwork, industry luminaries, and lots and lots of parties.

Mera Rubell is all smiles inside the 100,000-square-foot space of the new Rubell Museum.

ack when Don Rubell was a medical student, he and wife Mera would take long walks between study sessions. This was New York City in 1964, when an artist revolution was being led by people named Baez and Lichtenstein and Warhol, and the newly married Rubells would walk by art studios that had taken over empty storefronts. These off-the-grid galleries were foreboding places for someone who had never been in one, but the Rubells made eye contact with an artist one night. He was standing outside smoking. He said, “Why don’t you come see my work?” The young couple were captivated by what they saw. Mera especially gushed over the pieces. “You love my work,” the artist said, “so why don’t you buy something?” Mera explained that her husband was in medical school, and she was making just $100 a week as a Head Start teacher. They were living in a five-story walk-up in Chelsea. “Well,” the artist said, “how much can you afford?” They agreed on $25 a week, and so the Rubells bought their first original piece of art, on an installment plan. Spending a quarter of everything they earned became a rule for the Rubells. It continued for the next half century, even when they became wealthy enough that 25 percent became a significant number,

134

INDULGE | DECEMBER 2019 / JANUARY 2020 | miamiindulge.com

enough for them to acquire multiple works and even entire collections. Now, 55 years later, they have upwards of 7,200 pieces from a thousand artists in their collection. Beyond just the sheer numbers, the Rubell collection is counted among the world’s most important contemporary art holdings.

RUBELLS 2.0

Just recently the Rubells moved their artwork into a new expansive museum campus in the Allapattah neighborhood. It is arguably the most significant art museum opening since the Pérez Art Museum Miami opened in 2013. The Rubell Museum will help solidify the city as a place where art lives, and considering the breadth of the Rubell collection, undoubtedly it will be counted among the nation’s top contemporary art institutions.

What makes the Rubell works so significant isn’t just the numbers but the fact that the couple had an eye, early on, for artists just about to break into the scene. They focused on acquiring the works of artists before their work would have been cost prohibitive, making the Rubell collection the envy of other dealers and museums.Their collection didn’t come about from formal university training or even a family history in art. Don had a collecting gene; as a young boy, he collected baseball cards and stamps from around the world brought home from his father, a mail carrier. It wasn’t that way for Mera, who had lived in U.S. refugee camps in Germany, Russia and Israel before coming to America at 12 with few possessions of her own.

Opposite page: Mera and Don Rubell have made it their mission to create art spaces that are welcoming to the public. “The word ‘museum’ makes the public feel welcome, which is exactly our goal.” she says. (Below) Rubell and Andreas Schreiner, managing partner at LEKU, the museum’s Basque-style restaurant. On Schreiner: Suit, shirt and shoes by Louis Vuitton.

THRILL collectors

On that night in a Chelsea gallery, when they set out on what would become their life’s mission, the couple had been married just two years. They met in the library of Brooklyn College. Mera was finishing up her degree in psychology, and Don, with a degree in theoretical mathematics from Cornell, was studying to be an actuary. For three months, they sat across from each other without saying a word. Mera figured Don just hadn’t noticed her. “Would you like to have a vanilla egg cream?” Don asked her out of nowhere one day. The drink was a Brooklyn special at the time, and it’s something Mera remembers vividly: a vanilla milkshake with seltzer water, creamy, effervescent and sweet. “I was madly in love with him. He had never said a word to me, but I was already in love,” she recalls. After that day in the Chelsea gallery, Mera can clearly picture the moment when they hung their first piece in their apartment. “Anyone who has ever bought an original piece of art knows there’s a thrill of putting it up on your wall,” she says. “It’s sacred.” In their early days of collecting, they acquired the works of artists who would later become known, including Cindy Sherman, Richard Prince and Jeff Koons. They added to their collection the works of artists like JeanMichel Basquiat, Keith Haring, Damien Hirst, Kara Walker and Andy Warhol.

SOUTHERN winds calling

After five years teaching, Mera left her job and opened a commercial real estate company and retail stores and raised their two kids. Don transitioned from his role as an actuary and went to medical school. As a gynecologist, he delivered 5,001 babies. Don also served in the Army reserves, rising to lieutenant-colonel, a position that took them to Los Angeles and San Antonio. They came to Miami in 1992 and discovered a city Mera said was an undiscovered artwork of its own. “Miami was like this land of opportunity, full of Art Deco treasures that were beginning to be discovered,” she says. They bought real estate, including hotels, now headlined by the Albion Hotel on Miami Beach and the Capitol Skyline Hotel in D.C.

The artist and the muse: Mera Rebell and artist Allison Zuckerman recreate the center point of Zuckerman’s colorful mural just behind them, which features an ode to Micheangelo’s The Creation of Adam.

They also came into an inheritance in an unfortunate way, when Don’s brother Steve Rubell, an icon of the disco era for co-founding Studio 54, died in 1989 and left them a small fortune. As always, they put a quarter of everything into collecting art. They’ve traveled the world to find unique items, becoming experts in the Chinese art scene after a first trip there in 2001. Unlike most art collectors, they have held on to almost everything they’ve bought, selling less than two dozen pieces.

A FAMILY of firsts

Just like they did with their art and in buying the Wynwood warehouse, the Rubells had invested in something before it became valuable. They remained in Wynwood for 26 years, until they realized they could finance a much bigger museum by simply selling the old warehouse.

A NEW neighborhood

It was a surprise to the Rubells that their daughter, Jennifer, became an artist of acclaim. Mera says it’s rare for kids of collectors to become artists. It was less of a surprise when their son, Jason, became an art dealer, with galleries in Miami and Palm Beach. But then their lives would make a turn again when Jason, studying art history at Duke University, conducted a study of private museums. This was the early ’90s, and the Rubells had become such prolific collectors that many of their pieces sat in storage. Jason developed a plan to make the collection public, and he closed his galleries to help. In 1993, the family bought a former DEA warehouse, and turned it into the Rubell Family Collection/ Contemporary Art Foundation. This was Wynwood long before it would become a neighborhood for art. “It was amazing to me that we could buy a 45,000square-foot building for the price of a onebedroom apartment,” Mera says. “We didn’t think about making a neighborhood. We didn’t think about what Wynwood would become. It was just what we could afford.” Without the need to chase attendance figures, the Rubell Family Collection — and now Rubell Museum — has never sought the kind of attention that other institutions need. While the Pérez Museum saw a million visitors in its first three years in the new space, the Rubells see 40,000 a year, half of them coming through in early December during Miami Art Week.

The new Rubell Museum in Allapattah will spread out on a 100,000-square-foot campus, half of it dedicated to 40 galleries. The rest is split between a bookstore, an art research library with 40,000 volumes and a Basque-style restaurant, LEKU. Selldorf Architects designed the new museum campus by transforming six former industrial buildings, with the courtyard full of native plants that are mostly threatened by habitat loss. Symbolic of how long the Rubells themselves have been collecting, the inaugural show features more than 300 works by 100 artists of the last 50 years. The museum will also feature a rotating selection curated from the Rubells’ private collection. It’s a testament to a couple that donated a large chunk of everything they made to art — and also to how they built it. Unlike so many art collectors, Mera says they never saw a new piece as a conquest. They never viewed going to galleries or events like Miami Art Week as shopping. And it was certainly never a way to invest. she says. She likes to think about how for much of human history only kings and queens and aristocrats collected art. Before the first museums opened in the last couple centuries, most people had never seen a piece of art, let alone bought one, and so they never felt the way Mera says she still feels when buying a piece. “It has always been for us about falling in love with art,” she says. “It’s something that has transformed our lives, and it’s always such a privilege that we’ve been able to do this.”

A New Kind of

MUSEUM restaurant WHERE MANY MUSEUMS LOOK TO SIMPLY FEED THE MASSES, THE RUBELLS ENVISIONED LEKU, A BASQUE RESTAURANT WITH APPEAL OUTSIDE THE ART WORLD BECAUSE OF ITS TEAM OF RESTAURANT INDUSTRY HEAVYWEIGHTS EAGER TO MAKE MIAMI LOOK AT DINING IN A WHOLE NEW LIGHT.

It is common at museums to begin a meal by sliding a plastic tray down a metal counter, pointing through the glass for things to be unceremoniously scooped on a plate. Which is exactly what Don and Mera Rubell didn’t want. At the museum that bears their name now open in Allapattah, they imagined a restaurant that will become a destination in itself. They wanted something that hasn’t been done in Miami — not easy to do considering the food revolution in town in recent years. To help figure that out, they enlisted Alejandro Muguerza of Le Basque catering fame and his

138

INDULGE | DECEMBER 2019 / JANUARY 2020 | miamiindulge.com

business partner Terry Zarikian. Right off, the two — who have had their hands in a hundred restaurant projects — had a novel idea. Zarikian set up a meeting late in 2018. Over lunch, he tried to sell his plan to hospitality veteran Andreas Schreiner. The problem was that Schreiner had recently semi-retired. He had co-founded the Pubbelly restaurant group, and a year ago got his partners to buy him out. Thanks, Schreiner said, but spending nights with the kids was his new goal. But then Zarikian outlined his idea. It would be a restaurant featuring the cuisine of a region of

the world so far underrepresented in Miami. The Basque Region straddles the borders of Spain and France, with the food mostly about the freshness of seafood and meats, grilled simply, served on large platters often, and where chefs who learned those simple skills opened fine-dining restaurants that have elevated the cuisine to international acclaim. It is a place with more Michelin stars than Paris, and yet it’s rare to see Basque cuisine on menus in Miami. Not only had Zarikian been to the Basque Region many times, but one of the chefs working for his catering company was from there, a youngster with lots of promise.

Though tight-lipped about some details, LEKU’s Chef Mikel Goikolea and Andreas Schreiner both promise a dining experience unlike any other in Miami.

They wanted something that hasn’t been done in Miami ― not easy to do considering the food revolution in town in recent years.

SPANISH influencia

Chef Mikel Goikolea had trained at some of Spain’s finest restaurants, under chefs with collections of Michelin stars. He is from the small Basque town of Otxandio, where he grew up working in a restaurant owned by his aunt and learning the dishes of his mom. “When most kids were learning how to make a tortilla, I was learning the dishes of my aunt’s restaurant,” he says. “I was as much of a bother as a help in the kitchen then, but I was learning.” Goikolea might be a mere 30 years old, but there was promise in him. Over lunch, Zarikian convinced Schreiner of his plan. They created LEKU (lekumiami.com), a restaurant at the Rubell Museum that they say will mimic the experience of a Basque meal. That begins with pintxos, an elaborate version of tapas typically of bread slices covered with sardines and cheeses and meats and a thousand other ingredients. In the center of the garden will be a Basque-style asador, a grill where meats

will roast away near tables where platters of it will be served. Alongside them will be large and small plates served family style in the center, just like they are in the Basque region. When it opens in January, LEKU will also have a daily special, similar to the three-course meals served during Miami Spice, somewhere around $28. For dinner, they figure the average bills will run $60 per person. Expect lots of events and guest chefs, many of them Basque. Sometime in perhaps February, LEKU will begin something even more ambitious. The restaurant will host, maybe once a month or so, tasting menus of 12 or perhaps 14 courses at $300. They will begin with a champagne tour of the museum, end with dessert in the garden and sell out with just 30 seats. Throughout this fall, Goikolea started working full time on the menu. “Right now,” he said recently, “more than perfecting the dishes, we are working on how to bring the best ingredients in to the restaurant.”

Opposite page: Terry Zarikian, Marketing Director and Partner at LEKU, helped organize a dream team of top players in the restaurant industry for the Rubells; Chef Mikel Goikolea (above), one of the foremost chefs in the Basque Country and an alumni of the 3 Michelin star Azurmendi, brings authentic ingredients and flavors to the Basque cuisine at LEKU.

Vibrant outdoor museums fill our city with color, life and delight. A simple walk down the street can transform into a stroll through a compelling gallery or fascinating design wonderland. Public art makes art accessible to all of us. But Miami’s infatuation with public art isn’t new. Miami-Dade Art in Public Places program ordinance, established in 1973, is one of the first in the country and requires that 1.5% of the total construction budget be allocated to public art. Today, with the help of social media, progressive regulations and private financial support, public art is exploding around us with diverse pieces from a variety of talented local and international artists. While we couldn’t highlight every neighborhood’s contribution to enhancing our city’s arts scene, we’re thrilled to be spotlighting a few of the leaders here.

MI MI BE CH As a city known for its beaches, Miami Beach has made impressive advances in cementing itself among the world’s art cognoscenti with the help of Art Basel and now the convention center’s

$620 million renovation. The transformation included a $7 million expenditure, the largest single commission by a municipal percentage-forart program in the country, according to Brandi Reddick, the city’s cultural affairs manager. Out of the 524 artists who applied, six were chosen — each creating a work of art representative of their personal style but also unique to Miami Beach. “Our overarching theme is to commission site-specific art that relates to Miami Beach and speaks to who we are,” she says. Public art has been invariably fundamental to the city, its residents and visitors. The first piece, the 1979 Roy Lichtenstein mermaid sculpture, was commissioned with the help of an arts grant in conjunction with private funds, and it still watches over The Fillmore and 17th Street. Today, Miami Beach has 21 pieces in its public art collection and to date has invested $10 million in the commissioning of public art. In September the city increased the average budget allocation percentage for public art from capital construction projects from 1.5% to 2% — giving Miami Beach one of the most progressive

public art programs in the nation, according to Reddick. For Miami Art Week, the city is collaborating with Argentinean artist Leandro Erlich on a temporary site-specific installation. Lincoln Road has its own public art history. Created in 1912 by Carl Fischer as the Fifth Avenue of the South and reimagined by illustrious architect Morris Lapidus in the 60s, the city’s famed pedestrian mall still evokes that midcentury modern era with its large central futuristic follies. “Art is in the DNA of Lincoln Road, says Tim Schmand, director of the Lincoln Road Business Improvement District (BID). This winter, Lincoln Road is partnering with the Gary Nader Art Centre to bring the colossal figures of the legendary Colombian artist Fernando Botero to the district. The 13 bronze sculptures will be exhibited throughout the quarter until spring. And that’s just the beginning. The city is investing $67 million in a master plan by James Corner Field Operations, best known for New York City’s High Line. This will be enhanced by the BID’s approximate $16 million ten-year pledge for cultural programming.

ROBIN HILL (ABOUT SAND)

Known for his striking artwork, artist Franz Ackermann created “About Sand” — featured prominently at Miami Beach Convention Center — to reflect Miami’s colorful industry, tourism and commerce.

“Everyone deserves art and no one should be left out.” Through his company Pinnacle, Louis Wolfson III (below) has made it a point to make examples of Miami’s impressive art scene visible in all areas of the city, like the Declaration of Hope mural by Rey Jaffet in Allapattah.

MI MI’S URB NSC PE Beautifying neighborhoods is one of Louis Wolfson III’s life ambitions. As the co-founder of Pinnacle, he also oversees the development company’s Art in Public Places program. A fourth-generation Miamian and member of one of the city’s most prominent and philanthropic families (think Wolfsonian-FIU Museum and Miami-Dade College), Wolfson is focused on creating art-centric urban neighborhoods that residents can be proud of. Ninety-three percent of Pinnacle’s projects are affordable housing developments, which host the majority of the company’s 60 public art pieces valued at nearly $3 million. One of Pinnacle’s most visible commissioned works is Romero Britto’s Floating Girl off I-95 in Midtown. Two more recent murals include Declaration of Hope, by 25-year-old Rey Jaffet in Allapattah (at 13 stories, it is one of Miami’s tallest murals) and History of Liberty City at Pinnacle Park by Kyle Holbrook. “Everyone deserves art and no one should be left out,” he says. Wolfson’s passion for public art doesn’t stop at his developments. He has organized summer initiatives that unite local artists, local police officers and local kids, who are out of school, in painting murals. Wolfson and Pinnacle are also sponsors of The Underline’s art in public places initiatives. “I want to support artists any way I can,” he explains. “Miami is better off because of them.”

WYNW

As a long-time property owner in Wynwood, Albert Garcia is committed to the neighborhood. As Wynwood’s BID chair, he’s focused on preserving its public art and planning for the area’s future. In the last six years the BID has made great strides in evolving Wynwood from an industrial manufacturing hub into the home of the largest concentration of street art in the nation, which welcomes nearly 3 million visitors a year. “Art shouldn’t be locked up in storage,” he says. “Art is the most intimate form of expression and it’s meant to be shared. [Public art] is an opportunity for people from all walks of life to share a common experience.” During Miami Art Week, Wynwood hosts renowned fairs including Satellite Miami Art Fair, Pinta Miami and Red Dot Art Fair. This year it’s pleased to welcome a new one into the mix — the Contemporary and Digital Art Fair (CADAF). Focusing on digital and new media art, this international fair will bring art and technology leaders to Mana Wynwood. Garcia explains that for any new mural or public art piece, a design review committee confirms the industrial character of the art so that the neighborhood’s spirit isn’t lost, but it never defines what art is or where a mural should go. The design and location are up to the property owner and artist to decide together.

146

INDULGE | DECEMBER 2019 / JANUARY 2020 | miamiindulge.com

The BID, made up of 400 property owners, manages a $1 million budget used to enhance the cleanliness and safety of the neighborhood, promote Wynwood, support community events and plan for the area’s future. It’s currently working on redesigning Northwest Third Avenue into a shared street that is more pedestrian-focused and incorporates a linear park within two years. In addition, it is

working on a larger streetscape plan that will transform other roads within the district into beautifully landscaped thoroughfares with plenty of new public art pieces. “This is a place that’s truly about art. We want to protect the character of the neighborhood and ensure it continues to flourish,” he says. “We’re incredibly fortunate to be living in this moment in time and take that responsibility seriously.”

Clockwise from left: The multimedia installation I See Myself in You… will make its grand debut during the week of Art Basel; Korean artist Gimhongsok’s reimagining of the Love sculpture by Robert Indiana at Grove at Grand Bay; The Poets in Bordeaux by Jaume Plensa.

MI MI-D DE C UNTY From a sculptural marble slide in Bayfront Park by Isamu Noguchi or the Michelle Oka Doner’s terrazzo floors at the Miami International Airport, art is everywhere thanks to the support from the county. Simply put, the Miami-Dade Art in Public Places program ordinance requires developers building on land owned by the county or municipality within the county to include art in their spaces, including privately funded or private-public partnership funded projects, such as the Norwegian and Royal Caribbean port terminals. Once a new project is planned, a call to artists is released and an advisory committee reviews the submissions, which must then be approved by the Art in Public Places Trust governing board. On average,

a public art installation takes two years to come to fruition, according to Amanda Sanfilippo, curator and artist manager for Art in Public Places at the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs. With an average yearly $6 million budget for public art, the city currently has 75 projects in progress with 25 in the planning phase. It also oversees all restorations for current pieces and commissions temporary public art pieces from time to time. One of the county’s most recent works of art, I See Myself In You... by Hank Willis Thomas and Nekisha Durrettm is a threedimensional mural located in Liberty City. “We’re interested in working with artists and fostering their careers so they can flourish here,” she says.

“We’re incredibly fortunate to be living in this moment in time and take that responsibility seriously.”

C C NUT GR VE Known and admired for its bohemian vibe, this historically quaint neighborhood is elevating its public art installations to improve the quality of life for its residents and tourists alike while adding value to the area. “Public art is a way of expressing ourselves as a city,” says Commissioner Ken Russell, the BID’s board chair. “As changes come with developments and as high-rises move in we’re set on retaining our spirit.” Coconut Grove’s nine-member BID oversees a yearly public art budget used to commission murals and installations, including 2,000 native orchids that are painting the non-floral trees throughout the city. Another piece is Korean artist Gimhongsok’s interpretation of Robert Indiana’s Love sculpture as a crumpled stainlesssteel version. The neighborhood even sparkles in the evenings with two glistening light installation. Peacock Park’s trees are aglow with dozens of LED-lit spheres made from grape vines hanging from branches. Jaume Plensa’s The Poets in Bordeaux, located outside of Park Grove, are three resin sculptures that sit on top of 35-foot poles and alternate colors like beacons in the night. The Grove has been a leader in supporting the local arts scene, decades before Art Basel and Wynwood, by hosting its annual arts festival for nearly 60 years. More recently it established a historic preservation district for 25 Bahamian wood-frame shotgun homes — just another way to preserve the city’s history and architecture.

PUT IT IN

DRIVE Ocean Drive has seen many renaissances, but will this wave be the one that brings the locals back to the famous strip? WORDS BY ANGELA CARAWAY-CARLTON

148

INDULGE | DECEMBER 2019 / JANUARY 2020 | miamiindulge.com

a drizzly, quiet summer morning, when I make my way into the Cardozo South Beach on Ocean Drive. Just seconds before, a could-be model in a string bikini bumps into me on the sidewalk as she wobbles by on rollerblades. Typical, I think to myself. I’m there to chat with Miami’s music royalty, Emilio Estefan — who arrives offering one of his genuine hugs — about the $15 million, top-to-bottom renovation to the hotel that he and wife Gloria have owned on the famous promenade for almost 30 years. After shuttering the Cardozo for four years, they resurrected the hotel in May with a revamped lobby, 41 guest rooms and suites, and a VIP meeting room. A labor of love for Estefan, he spearheaded the design and even peppered spaces with furniture, art and accessories from the couple’s private homes. Guest rooms now shine with mother-of-pearl headboards, glossy cabinetry and bathrooms decked out with gold fixtures; a sprawling, two-bedroom penthouse showcases breathtaking east-to-west vistas and can accommodate those arriving with an entourage. “We’ve been sold out from the beginning. I think what’s happened is quality.

Everyone was used to old hotels on Ocean Drive, so now we’ve created competition and brought in a top restaurant,” says Estefan, pulling out his phone to show me a video of a boisterous crowd dining and dancing at the hotel’s Italian restaurant, BiCE Cucina. “Ocean Drive is going to become like Ibiza or St. Tropez.” We know what you’re thinking. Ocean Drive is where tourists sip 2-for-1 drinks and scantily clad ladies work to lure you into their restaurant. “I don’t think that’s the case anymore,” proclaims Estefan, referencing a recent city ordinance banning the aggressive solicitation that’s plagued the Drive for years. “We’re seeing beautifully dressed people arriving in a Rolls Royce or by Uber. They’re coming for a nice dinner, good music and to stay at a top hotel.” Estefan doesn’t discount that Ocean Drive has weathered many ups and downs, admitting that before they settled on a renovation, he was tempted to sell. “It’s my philosophy that when tough times come, that’s when you need to be stronger,” he says. “Gloria and I decided that we can’t let this go. Miami Beach has been great to us and we want to give back.” Developers and property owners are breathing new life into the iconic street, including Emilio and Gloria Estefan, who recently celebrated the reopening of the Cardozo Hotel; a healing refuge can be found at the K’Alma Spa inside the Hotel Victor.

REINVENTING PARADISE The Estefans are part of an army of people working to reinvent paradise, and the street’s landscape is morphing at an epic pace. “Ocean Drive has recently seen an infusion of over half a billion dollars in real estate renovations,” says Ceci Velasco, executive director of the Ocean Drive Association (ODA), who rattles off projects like The Tide’s expansion to Collins Avenue, The Tides Village — which will link to the iconic hotel with a glass walkway — and the summer 2020 opening of the Pelican, a boutique hotel fitted with hi-tech rooms. “Those renovations coupled with the City dedicating $25 million for the street and park, Ocean Drive is moving into a new renaissance.” Another luxe player is the reinvented The Savoy, a 33-room hotel which will quietly re-launch this December in the ritzy SoFi neighborhood. “Our vision is to bring back the magic of the 1940s Savoy,” says Eric Hadar, chairman of Allied Partners, who touts a 7-star experience. “No DJs, special effects or motorized beach toys. Plenty of grilled fish and fresh homemade sorbets, directly on the sand of one of the world’s best beaches.”

Examples of classic vibrant Art Deco architecture can be seen in the exteriors and suites of The Celino Hotel (above left and below left); the lobby at the The Savoy, one of South Beach’s architectural jewels. The most anticipated newcomer is The Celino Hotel, a glamorous mix of old and new properties that swallow up nearly 300 feet on Ocean Drive. The 132-room oceanfront hotel is comprised of a new five-story atrium space and three original Art Deco buildings: the Park Central Hotel, Imperial Hotel and Heathcote Apartments. “It has created, to an extent, its own district,” says Ricardo Tabet of Miamibased Optimum Development USA, who purchased the properties in 2013 and envisioned the ultra-luxe hotel, along with the recently expanded The Betsy Hotel, as the catalysts to recharge the street. The historic properties are dotted with vintage furniture and swathed in an oh-so-Florida tropical palette of pink, mint and turquoise; while the new build impresses with a glittering, glass-bottom rooftop pool overlooking Lummus Park and a 30-foot mural created by street artist Mr. Brainwash. Along with the resort feel of lush gardens, an oasis pool in the courtyard and open green spaces, Tabet smartly partnered with INK Entertainment (founded by Toronto hospitality tycoon Charles Khabouth, who brought an outpost of Byblos restaurant to South Beach), to open Pubblico, an Italian restaurant, and a sexy indoor-outdoor central bar that pours into seafood-centric Dalia restaurant. “Amazing food, great service and a wonderful ambiance at The Celino is the key to entice locals back to Ocean Drive,” says Tabet. “I also believe that elevated events on both a national and international level here on Ocean Drive will play a part.”

THE FUTURE IS NOW

Clockwise from left: Explore the upscale cuisine at the former Versace Mansion with an evening at Sushi by Bou, helmed by chef David Bouhadana and located inside Gianni’s Suite; a large scale mural at The Celino Hotel; neon lights illuminate the facade of the Avalon Hotel.

Some would say culture, dining and entertainment are already flourishing. Live music from a parklet provided by the City and the Estefans is amplified throughout the block weekly; and certain nights, you can pop into The Betsy Hotel for poetry readings and live jazz. The Betsy even offers a unique artist-in-residency program where writers and artists can stay to create and develop their craft. The street is also dotted with new culinary additions like Sushi by Bou, a high-end Omakase experience at the former Versace Mansion; a second location of Happy Place Donuts; and the iconic News Cafe is expanding, reverting to its glory days when Versace would read his paper there each morning. Those looking to be pampered can now spend a day at K’Alma Spa inside the Victor Hotel, the only full-service spa on Ocean Drive, to indulge in a 24-karat gold facial or ancient healing rituals. What’s next? A vital transportation, land use and economic development study of the entire district, including Washington, Collins and Ocean Drive commissioned by the City, will ultimately shape what the future looks like for the iconic strip. “A vision of an expanded pedestrian walkway and design pavers to create a sense of place is the intention for the future,” says Velasco. “For right now, no more hawking since the city recently passed a Code of Conduct. It’s all about elevating the experience.”

YOUNGATART:KIDFRIENDLYARTBASEL This year, ditch the babysitter and take the kids to Miami Art Week!

Great news for art-loving parents: You can — and should — bring your children to Art Basel and the satellite fairs that make up Miami Art Week. Surprisingly, there’s a prodigious amount of kid-friendly programming at the various fairs, from full-on, drop-off art-inspired spaces to specialized tours to public art on display. Exposing your tiny tots to culture can lead to a lifetime love affair with all things artistic, and that’s definitely a good thing. At the mothership, Art Basel, the Miami Children’s Museum hosts an annual Art Kids Room on the second floor of the Miami Beach Convention Center. Tykes aged 4-12 are invited to channel their inner Picasso with art-based stations, games, puzzles, craft activities and storytelling. For 2019, the curated art projects will center around artists like Marcel Duchamp, Judith Scott, Mike Kelley, Gerhardt Richter and Douglas Coupland. Parents can stay or leave their charges for up to three hours. The Art Kids Room, which is staffed by MCM, mirrors the hours of Art Basel and is free of charge with entry. “It is an honor to partner once again with Art Basel to bring Miami Children’s Museum’s innovative art programming to families from all over the world,” says Debbie Spiegelman, the Museum’s CEO and Executive Director. “We’re so excited to be back in a premier location educating children as they explore contemporary art and the culturally diverse and globally influenced artists of this movement.”

PÉREZ ART MUSEUM MIAMI (COUURTESY OF PAMM.ORG)

WORDS BY JACQUELYNN POWERS MAURICE

Similarly, Art Miami has a dedicated area for the adolescent set in partnership with Young At Art Museum. The immersive space will feature select artworks from the Museum’s popular summer exhibition, ArtCade, along with interactive games and projects by local artists. Kids aged 6-12 are welcome to participate daily, with little ones invited with their parents from 6-8 pm every night. Continue the art party at the nearby Pérez Art Museum Miami, which has free admission the first Thursday of every month, perfectly timed for December 5 during the peak of Miami Art Week.

Inspire kids to discover their creativity at the many programs and interactive exhibits presented throughout the week designed with them in mind, like the ArtCade at Art Miami, the Kids Room at Art Basel and the hands-on activities for families at PAMM.

At Pulse, the whole brood is invited to take in the exhibition: “Art is a family experience,” says Pulse Fair Director Christina Salmastrelli. “No matter what the age of the viewer, passion can always be ignited to start a lifelong profession, obsession or patronage of the arts. Families are welcome at Pulse any time and any day with excitement from our team.” Ticketholders can unwind and decompress in their “Calm in the Palms” lounge, too. When the kids need to run around and still get an injection of culture, we suggest visiting Collins Park, right in front of the Bass Museum, where public sculptures will be on display for the week, presented by Art Basel Cities: Buenos Aires with a focus on artists from that region. Pro tip: Within the Bass Museum, complimentary activity guides and explorer kits are available for families while they navigate the museum. Another stimulating outdoor space to explore is Wynwood Walls, with its urban graffiti landscape featuring art by Shepard Fairey, Kenny Scharf, The London Police, Aiko and Peter Tunney.

Satellite fairs Pulse and Scope encourage families to take full tours of the exhibit, taking in the wall-to-wall art and, in some cases, even having the opportunity to touch the pieces they admire.

While in the adjacent Design District, make sure to check out the newly opened State Of Kid activity center. Their Art Basel-themed dropoff classes include Maker Monkey Workshop (Thursday, December 5) where kids aged 3-5 will create art using hammers, nails and recycled wood, and Poppet Project Workshop (Friday, December 6) where kids aged 2-5 will participate in a collaborative art project, a large paper chandelier, which will be on display all weekend. Yes, the kids will go crazy for this.

THE RITZ-CARLTON WINE & OYSTER RESIDENCES, MIAMI PAIRINGS BEACH GETS INTO THE ART GAME

Even the real estate market has gotten into the art scene, albeit with a more intimate approach. The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Miami Beach features the world’s first residential art studio designed exclusively by the Piero Lissoni in collaboration with Miami-based artist Tatiana Blanco. The studio was created to showcase, and bring to the forefront that art can be as therapeutic (and accessible) as a fitness center workout or a relaxing afternoon at the residence pool. The creative concept came about pretty organically as well - Blanco has always kept a blank canvas at her home as an outlet for houseguests to express themselves. This exclusive amenity gives owners an opportunity to unwind through sculpture, painting, ceramics, beadwork, as well as structured art classes. There is also a wall of light that imitates north faced natural light, which is optimum for art, and a library filled with art books for inspiration.

Along with the main event, the city plays host to dozens of satellite fairs. Here’s our picks of what else to see when Basel makes its way to Miami. WORDS BY GINGER HARRIS

Art Basel is just one of the fairs that make Miami the art capital of the world the first week of December. Along with it come the satellite fairs that dub this time of year Miami Art Week. Some of those fairs are 30 years strong, too. While some take place in the sand in Miami Beach, others are in the heart of Miami’s art district: Wynwood. As you plan out your week of all things art, set a schedule that allows you to take in as much as you can in each corner of the 305. Art Miami At 30 years as one of the most important modern and contemporary art fairs in the U.S., Art Miami features works from more than 250 galleries around the world, from as close as Colombia and as far are Korea. This year more than 900 works will be on display, including works from Jackson Pollock, Jeff Koons, Andy Warhol and Keith Haring. December 3-8; One Miami Herald Plaza at Northeast 14th Street, Miami. Aqua It’s the fair at the South Beach hotel with exhibition rooms that lead to a courtyard where collections and art lovers gather to experience fresh, new talent. It’s also a sister fair to Art Miami.December 4-8; Aqua; Aqua Hotel, 1530 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach.

Right: Playful art by Tel Aviv artist Orit Fuchs and more can be found at this year’s Aqua fair; Glad You Came by Jackie Fuchs at Red Dot Miami. Context Art Miami A sister fair to Art Miami, Context focuses on the development and reinforcement of emerging and mid-career artists, like Mr. Brainwash, Pamela Smith Hudson and Jen Dwyer. Come see their take on the world through their art, while also experiencing the buzz of Miami Art Week in this tent. December 3-8; One Miami Herald Plaza at Northeast 14th Street, Miami. Design Miami Now in its 15th year, feast your eyes on all the wonders of design. Twentieth and 21 Century furniture, lighting and objects at this satellite fair will inspire you to do a little

THEARTOFEATING The definitive guide to dining during Miami Art Week. WORDS BY ERIC BARTON

Miami Art Week is a time when meals often become affairs of their own. In the right spots, you’ll be surrounded by the world’s foremost dealers and artists and the monied buyers who make the whole thing possible. It’s a scene like no other. But where to go during Art Week changes yearly (in Miami, the scene is more like day to day). And so before tackling the city in 2019, here is your neighborhood guide to dining during Miami’s art-filled days and nights.

THE BEACH Azabu Miami Beach Azabu in New York earned a Michelin star before arriving in Miami Beach, with a creative cocktail bar, stylish dining room and a “secret” omakase counter in the back called The Den. That’s where the real magic happens, with a multi-course meal of the finest sushi flown in from Japan and headlined with melts-like-butter seared toro. azabuglobal.com.

Papi Steak David Grutman and David “Papi” Einhorn combined a sleek and modern floral wallpaperdominated dining room with a kosher-friendly menu, with PB&J uni toast, Wagyu pastrami and the namesake Papi Steak, a 32-ounce kosher ribeye. papisteak.com.

The Surf Club Restaurant Miami had its share of celebrity chefs, but never Thomas Keller — until he opened The Surf Club this year. The restaurant evokes the pageantry of restaurants of yesteryear, with the Caesar salad and beef Wellington served tableside, followed by an ice cream sundae. surfclubrestaurant.com.

AMAZEOFMURALS Some old, some new — but all incredibly important. Take in the colorful views at these public wall works in Wynwood that should be part of every ‘extravaganza of art’ experience in December. WORDS BY ERIN MICHELLE NEWBERG

Exploration is the best way to discover. Led by Jordan Betten (a local Wynwood resident, artist and Alan Faena-favorite), and tipped off by Primary Projects founders Books Bischof and Christina Gonzalez, we navigated through the heart of Miami’s creative community, Wynwood, to get a peek at the murals you should not miss during Art Week 2019.

Retna — The Tribute Wall This massive scale work on the front of Wynwood Lofts represents a lot more than a collectible piece of art; the meaning behind its red paint is deep. It is considered to be Wynwood’s tombstone — listing, by name, figures who were instrumental in developing the community including Retna, Hox, Books, Typoe and Evils. 23rd Street and Northwest 2nd Avenue.

EL MAC – THE MAC DADDY OF MURALISTS Straight from Los Angeles, El Mac — a brand-new father to a 10-month boy named Max — has been spending the past seven months in Miami painting his next great piece. The artist spent time in the Magic City back in 2007, when Primary Flight (now Primary Projects) was instrumental in bringing artists to Miami to paint in and around a then-just-burgeoning Wynwood. More recently, when Jorge Pérez of Related Group decided to build Wynwood 25, El Mac was commissioned for a special project for the space, which called for the help of some Miami muses. For the past seven months, he has worked diligently with the locals he chose to star in his artwork. “I chose the three subjects, starting with the girl on the far left. Her name is Mandolina, and she helps run a community garden.” Set to be completed right before Miami Art Week 2019, the mural required intensive labor and the ability to remain true to his artistic vision come what may. El Mac says it’s all part of the process. “I have a strong sense of social responsibility, and an obligation to make something as beautiful as I can since I am imposing on the public. I have a responsibility to put as much love as possible into it.” @mac_art. Wynwood 25 is located at 240 NW 25th St.

Nice’n Eazy — Rear Window Miami-based husband and wife duo Nice’n Easy completed their project in the early days of 2019. Step back and take in the series of vignettes: silhouetted windows that are painted onto one side of Cube. Ten stories tall, the main mural took three months to complete. 222 Northwest 24th Street.

INDULGE | DECEMBER 2019 / JANUARY 2020 | miamiindulge.com

TYPOE — untitled Commissioned by Related Group’s Jean Paul Perez and East End Capital, local artist TYPOE has just completed his neon mural, located in the driveway of Wynwood 25, one of the newest and most buzzed about properties in the area. Taking the born-and-raised-in-Miami artist just three and a half weeks to complete, his inspiration stemmed from everything this city represented. “I wanted it just to be Miami!” he says. “As everything changes in this city, this is a constant reminder that — hello people! Miami is amazing.” 240 Northwest 25th Street.

(Right) Maria Tallchief and McSuicide — two examples of Native American artist Bunky Echo-Hawk’s moving artwork; (below) Emotional Puzzle by Jean-Charles de Castlebajac.

Jean-Charles de Castelbajac — Emotional Puzzle at Ralph Pucci Inside the famous Wynwood Walls space and presented by Ralph Pucci, this mural which launches in conjunction with Art Basel 2019 is a bright amalgam of Ralph Pucci’s past 40-years in fashion. Castelbajac is currently the artistic director of Benetton and has worked on collaborations with Keith Haring and Robert Mappelthorpe, among others. 343 Nortwest 25th Street.

Inside of the Wynwod Walls In Goldman Properties annual tradition, CEO Jessica Goldman Srebnick has selected a roster of global artists, both up-and-coming and established, to create new murals at the Wynwood Walls in time for the international art community to descend on Miami.

Bunky Echo–Hawk — Miccosukee mural Known for his acrylic paintings about Native American topics and hip-hop culture, prolific artist Bunky Echo-Hawk highlights the connection between the The Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida and the city of Miami. Shedding light on real issues we are facing in 2019, it will certainly spark people’s curiosity to learn more about the tribe’s heritage, clean water movement, conservation initiatives, political activism, and their knowledge about the Everglades and South Florida in general. 2600 North Miami Avenue.

ESCAPE THE ART BASEL MADNESS AT THESE BROWARD HOTSPOTS

WORDS BY KATHY BUCCIO

Art Basel mayhem will soon descend upon the Magic City and if you’re not into stop and go traffic, street closures, and ridiculously long lines at your favorite restaurant or night club, it might be best to bid adieu to Miami and hit these trending hotspots in Broward instead. Trust me, you’ll be so busy people-watching, you’ll hardly miss the art. SEMINOLE HARD ROCK HOTEL AND CASINO With its unmissable guitar-shaped building, the newly reopened Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood is a pleasure emporium of million-dollar slots, five-star restaurants, and a plethora of pool bungalows that resemble the islands of Bora Bora. The 1.5-billiondollar expansion includes a state-of-the-art Hard Rock Live concert venue, swim-up suites, and Daer, the hotel’s indoor/outdoor day club and nightclub boasting worldrenowned DJs and performers like Tiesto and The Chainsmokers. 1 Seminole Way, Hollywood.

EL VEZ The Stephen Starr eatery made its way to the W Fort Lauderdale last year. Expect an eclectic and fun vibe at this vibrant Mexican-themed spot. Grab a seat and a mezcal margarita at the outdoor bar or opt for a booth under the Frida Kahlo wall art. Make sure to order up some regional favorites like tacos al carbon, guacamole, and crispy mahi mahi tacos. It’s a bustling scene so come for happy hour and maybe stay for the night. 401 North Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd, Fort Lauderdale.

YOT BAR AND KITCHEN YOT, the new kid on the waterfront, is opening just in time for Art Basel and both foodies and “yachties” are eager to check it out. Guests can arrive by both land and sea and enjoy the seafood-driven menu, which includes dishes like Miso Salmon. Cocktails are front and center, with such hits like the Jack Sparrow (Plantation pineapple rum, Bacardi Superior rum, coconut water, Natalie’s Orange Juice and fresh lime). Yacht-watching is free of charge. 2015 Southwest 20th Street, Fort Lauderdale.

MUSEUMSTOPS TOYIELDFOR Make time to visit these museums and galleries during the Basel whirlwind. WORDS BY JOSIE GULLIKSEN

The first weekend in December signals more than just the obvious — the beginning of the month — it’s when the art world descends on Miami for the premier event of the year, Art Basel. Here, we’ve rounded up the museums and galleries to visit during the whirlwind four-day weekend art extravaganza. While a majority of them are in Miami, we did include one in Fort Lauderdale that shouldn’t be missed. Frost Art Museum at FIU Located far from the madness of Miami Beach and Wynwood where a majority of events take place is this stellar museum located on the Florida International University Main Campus. Still up during Art Basel will be their groundbreaking exhibit Art after Stonewall, 1969-1989, which commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots of 1969. The more than 200 works featured — including film, video art, photography, sculpture, painting and music — tell the story of the LGBTQ liberation movement on visual culture. Also, check out South Beach, 1977-1986: Photographs by Gary Monroe, a photo exhibit highlighting the aging Jewish community of South Beach. frost. fiu.edu. Emerson Dorsch Gallery The visionary gallery owned by Tyler Emerson Dorsch and Brook Dorsch, some of the first to set their sights and move to Little Haiti from Wynwood, is where you’ll see Mette Tommerup’s Love, Ur; a complex installation of creative zones of dyed canvases undulating like tectonic plates. The installation’s title refers to Ur, originally the name of an ancient Sumerian City, Ur which in Tommerup’s native Denmark is used to refer to the pre-Christian Nordic world and its essential connection to nature. In the installation, Mette makes use of this particular association. emersondorsch.com.

very line is the actual experience with its own unique story,” said American artist Cy Twombly, describing the lyrical childlike scrawls which animate his minimalist canvases. Twombly’s art has an ephemeral quality with loops and lines, the spontaneous gesture of the artist that enlivens each piece. Among his many admirers is Laurence Graff, a foremost collector of modern art. His appreciation of Twombly’s work led to a new high jewelry collection for the House of Graff, echoing the free-flowing lines and exuberant creativity of Twombly’s calligraphic strokes. Abstract doodles are reimagined with gleaming gemstones set so that the metal is hidden from view, forming an endless loop of radiance and rich color. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, these extravagant doodles are modern masterpieces, which like fine art, inspire awe and a touch of reverence.
