Cultural Hotspots Miami's cultural scene gains momentum with new art spaces By Rebecca McBane
EACH YEAR IN DECEMBER, art collectors and cultural connoisseurs descend upon Miami for Art Basel—the world’s largest art gathering—and Miami Art Week. Beyond these must-attend events, Miami is also home to a variety of art museums showcasing established and emerging artists, as well as the Wynwood Art District, a renowned destination for street art. When you visit this year, there’s more than art fairs to see. Two of Miami’s art museums recently completed expansions and in the case of the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami, a much anticipated permanent home. ICA MIAMI The idea of promoting Miami as a place that not only exhibits great art, but also produces it, is what drives Ellen Salpeter, arts leader and director of the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami (ICA Miami). “I feel like Miami needs to stake its claim as a site of cultural production,” explains Salpeter. “We have a lot of artists here and the museums are making culture happen. It was really important for us to open up with a strong commitment to cultural production and to tell stories about how artists work in their studios and how that either responds to, or more often, predicts trends in larger society,” says Salpeter. Since 2014, the museum has operated out of the Miami Design District’s Moore Building on Second Avenue, while its new facility was in construction. About the Design District Salpeter says, it's an "evolving neighborhood where art and style and design and fashion all come together.” A vibe the museum cherishes and plans on maintaining given that its new facility opening December 1, will be located next door to the Moore Building at 61 NE 41st St. With The de la Cruz Collection also on 41st Street, together these institutions will anchor the area with contemporary art. Designed by Madrid-based firm Aranguren & Gallegos Arquitectos, the 37,500-square-foot building, features three floors of exhibition space and a 15,000-foot sculpture garden. An impressive lineup of exhibitions will debut with the opening. "The Everywhere Studio" (Dec. 1-Feb. 26, 2018) presents a one-of-a-kind survey of 100 works in painting, sculpture, video and installation, from the great masters—Pablo Picasso, Yves
Klein and Andy Warhol, among others— as well as artists from the post-war period and present day. The museum's ground-floor and rotating exhibitions include selections from its permanent collections and commissions. Six new large-scale sculptures in the museum's outdoor sculpture garden will feature the work of Pop artist George Segal, on long-term loan from the Martin Z. Margulies Collection, Miami-based artist Mark Handforth, and other post-war and contemporary artists.
THE BASS Across Biscayne Bay and in Miami Beach, The Bass, a contemporary art museum housed in a 1930s Art Deco building, has reopened after a two-year renovation period. The expansion which includes the addition of four galleries, museum shop, café and dedicated education facility, allows the museum the opportunity to display items beyond its permanent collection and to increase the "capacity to bring more artists and projects," according to Leilani Lynch, assistant curator at The Bass. While ICA Miami is known for featuring emerging artists, The Bass focuses on established, mid-career talent. The museum's opening season will include solo shows by Ugo Rondinone ("good evening beautiful blue"), Pascale Marthine Tayou ("Beautiful") and Mika Rottenberg's self-titled exhibition. The artists were carefully selected to "reflect The Bass’ commitment to presenting international contemporary art by established and mid-career artists," says Silvia Karman Cubiñá, executive director and chief curator at The Bass.

Miami-native Chrissie Fit reprises her role in "Pitch Perfect 3."

WHE RE I N OV E M B E R / D E C E M B E R 2017
CHRISSIE FIT, who reprises her role onscreen as Florencia “Flo” Fuentes in “Pitch Perfect 3” when it hits theaters Dec. 22, has described her character as brave and hardworking, characteristics that certainly apply to the Miami native. As a little girl growing up in Hialeah, Chrissie watched her mom and aunts sing harmonies at family gatherings and parties with her grandfather, a guitarist who played in different bands and clubs in Cuba before emigrating to the United States. “I would see them and want to be a part of the group, too—pre-Destiny’s Child,” Chrissie says with a laugh. In the fifth grade, she yearned to try out for a play, "La Gitana" (the Gypsy) but when asked to be included, she was denied. Rather than taking “no” for an answer, she went home and read the script. “I realized there wasn’t a bad girl (in the script). Watching all those telenovelas (soap operas) with my mom, I knew there had to be a bad girl,” Chrissie recalls. “I went to Mrs. Sanchez (the teacher), and said, ‘There isn’t a bad girl; can I be the bad girl?’ “She put me in the show! I basically created and wrote this character, and that was my first taste of acting,” she adds. “I thought, ‘Oh my God! This is great.’ And I was hooked.” Chrissie, who describes Miami as a city with “a culture that is so rich with people from all over the world,” says that her family was very supportive from the beginning, and that she had a very good environment in which to grow and learn. “I think that being in Miami where the population is mostly Latino, I got to play so many roles I may not have been able to in other places —Juliet in ‘Romeo and Juliet,’ Serena in ‘Fame.’ Maybe I wouldn’t have been able to (play these roles) if I was someplace else. I thought that’s how it was —whoever was best for the job got it. “I’m grateful that I got to learn and explore this craft in a place that didn’t look at your exterior, but gave you an opportunity [to] play any role, regardless of the way you look,” she adds. Now based in Los Angeles, Calif., Chrissie comes home to Miami as often as she can.
Her entire family lives in Miami. "I have two nephews there—they’re at that age where everything they do is hilarious. I need to go to Miami to get my Cuban food fix every so often,” she explains. Though she has yet to show her “Pitch Perfect 3” cast mates around her hometown, she relishes the thought of her friends experiencing the city “the way that I do it." "We would of course, do all the fun South Beach stuff, but I would like to take them beyond the beach. Hang out in Hialeah with my family, bar hop at The Grove, get some pastelitos (Cuban pastries) at Vicky's Bakery, play some dominos at Maximo Gomez Park in Little Havana. Oh man, I would love to see Rebel Wilson in Little Havana,” she says. So what's next for Chrissie Fit? She says she's taking a break to develop some of the projects she’s been writing and wants to produce. “The best way to influence this industry is to get behind the scenes and create more stories that resonate with women, and Latinas specifically.”
MAKIING IT BIG
Along with the Pitch Perfect franchise, Chrissie is also known for her role as CheeChee in Disney Channel's Original Movie franchise "Teen Beach Movie” and has appeared in such television series as "General Hospital," "Southland," "House M.D.," “The Middleman” and MTV's “Mary + Jane.” Make-up provided by Chechel Joson.

Prohibition, Miami's past and killer cocktails By Michelle Khouri

GangsterĘźs (Tropical) Paradise
THE WAVES CRASHING on the shore could have been made of rum. Residents of the newly incorporated City of Miami voted to enact Prohibition in 1913, seven years before it became a national constitutional ban. Almost immediately, South Florida’s coastline became a catwalk for rum-runners. Today, talk of prohibition has a far-reaching allure perhaps triggered by the mystery of shadowy figures in basement bars and the glorified danger of illicit dealings.

RUM-RUNNING PAST Prohibition era doesn’t typically conjure images of swamplands and palm trees. Rather, countless TV shows and films frame this Golden Age of Bootlegging as a time when pinstriped gangsters clutching Tommy guns showered cosmopolitan streets with bullets and blood. Including, of course, Al Capone. Al Capone in fact moved to Miami in 1927, enamored by the thriving (rum-running) industry, warm climate and distance from the rising risks he faced back home. He lived in his Palm Island mansion for six years before being imprisoned in 1932. Once released, Capone spent the last few years of his life back in South Florida. "To locals, Al Capone was a celebrity of sorts. There was almost a sense of pride in Capone calling Miami home," says Dr. Paul George, resident historian at HistoryMiami Museum and a revered Miami expert. “By and large, you had a place where you really could hide out, especially in the ‘20s, out of the watchful eye of the kind of big-city newspapers and spotlight of a place like Chicago, for example,” says Emmy and Peabody Award-winning filmmaker Billy Corben, who is a Miami native and lifelong resident. “Out in the swamp, you could get away with literally anything,” Corben says. And yet, Miami's history as a booming rum-running capital, has somehow remained largely washed out to sea. The moment Miamians sought to outlaw spirits, they unknowingly flaunted the region's natural potential as a bootlegger’s paradise. "We have thousands of miles of seemingly endless shoreline because we're a peninsula. Not to mention all the hundreds of islands and keys immediately offshore, so you can get in and out real quick by boat,” explains Corben. Over a century later, Prohibition’s influ-
ence is making itself known in the most appropriate of places—behind the bar. Randy Perez is the beverage and events director for Bar Lab, a hospitality consulting group that owns some of Miami’s hottest restaurants and bars, including Broken Shaker, 27 Restaurant and The Anderson. Perez explains why Prohibition-inspired cocktails took over drink menus to begin with: “Prohibition-style cocktails came into Miami right when cocktails started to become relevant. Like in life, you have to know where you've been before you can go anywhere. It's the same when you develop cocktails.” But how do you draw inspiration from cocktail recipes of a time when spirits were banned? Especially when that ban left a terrible taste in imbibers’ mouths ... literally. When Prohibition became law, alcohol aficionados turned to making their own booze, and so “bathtub gin” was born. “When they made this gin, it wasn’t refined. It wasn’t anything like it used to be,” says Perez, who is a skilled mixologist. Simply put, this gin was no joy to drink. According to Perez, cocktails came into favor when the need arose to mask the taste of the spirits. Thus, the sudden rise of mixers, bitters and garnishes. To sample how bartenders are reimagining Prohibition cocktails in the modern world, belly up to the bar and ask for a variation of an Old Fashioned, Sidecar or Gin Rickey. In addition to Bar Lab’s three properties, Perez recommends making stops at Sweet Liberty, Repour Bar, The Matador Room and Upland. “Miami doesn’t really have that underground bar with the hidden entrance,” says Perez, bearing sad news for anyone in search of a modern-day speakeasy. “I think that's the only thing Miami's really missing—that tucked-away spot that takes you like 30 minutes to find.”
OAK BARREL-AGED SAZERAC RECIPE INGREDIENTS 2oz Rye whiskey .25oz Fermented black cherry reduction Absinthe rinse 3 dashes of Peychaud's Bitters Bar Lab shares its recipe for oak barrel-aged Sazerac, which is a modern twist on the classic Prohibition cocktail. The process starts by barrel aging fermented black cherry Sazerac for six months in recycled Sherry oak barrels. Then, the Sazerac is sealed in a plexiglass container and surrounded with salt, rich soil and seasonal spices. This helps to recreate the aging process of Islay Scotch whiskey. It's the way they use what they’ve learned from Prohibition "to revitalize and push the boundaries to recreate the past," says Randy Perez.
