Vizcaya Museum and Gardens
3251 South Miami Avenue
Miami, FL 33129
Visitors are invited to explore the Main House with Ernesto Oroza’s map from 6 – 7 pm.
Miami is a city in constant flux, whose landscape is redefined every few years. In the context of Archetype Vizcaya, this roundtable invites several
artists to present and discuss with the public their current projects on Miami and its shifting geographies.
Participants include Kevin Arrow, Adler Guerrier, Nicolas Lobo, Gean Moreno, Ernesto Oroza, Dinorah de Jesús Rodriguez, Lara Stein Pardo and Cesar Trasobares. Moderator: Flamina Gennari-Santori, Vizcaya’s Deputy Director for Collections and Curatorial Affairs
Tickets $5; free for Members, Seniors and Students with ID.
Archetype Vizcaya explores what happens when things are taken from their original context and given new purpose and meaning. Ernesto Oroza has created a “map” that invites visitors to discover things generally unseen. Through a provisional gallery on plexiglass, he challenges us to question what is original or authentic. And, in a compilation of amateur videos from the Web, Oroza shows how Vizcaya is “used” or appropriated by its visitors.
Archetype Vizcaya is on view through May 29, 2011.
For more information, please call 305-860-8423 or 305-250-9133.

Vivian Maier
Vivian Maier – Her Discovered Work. The Kickstater project is raising funds for a film.
I purchased a giant lot of negatives from a small auction house here in Chicago. It is the work of Vivian Maier, a French born photographer who recently past away in April of 2009 in Chicago, where she resided. I opened a blogspot blog with her work here; www.vivianmaier.com.
I have a ton of her work (about 30-40,000 negatives) which ranges in dates from the 1950’s-1970’s.
