Yvonne Pfeiffer's 'Calacas Reinvented' Exhibit at Brisky Gallery

Artist Yvonne Pfeiffer's exhibit 'Calacas Reinvented' at the Brisky Gallery was a lovely evening of art with an introspective into the female emotion. The viewer received a window into the Day of the Dead celebration, which features skeletons garnished with flowers and bright colors. This celebration derives it's origins from pre-Columbian America - the Aztecs revered Mictecacihuatl, a goddess watching over the dead, while the Mayan Lords ruled over Xibalba, the underworld. Their clash with Spanish Catholicism evolved into hybrid traditions, where these skeletons, 'Calacas', adorn alters and the painted faces of women. This skull imagery is an attempt to humor death and yet, in it's absence, life's worth would be profoundly curved. Oddly enough, a "celebration of death" is but a celebration of life; this compendium of emotions validated by the great equalizer. Second to the stunning Calacas artwork was the Frida Kahlo contest and we loved the Mariachi performance too - it was a spectacular evening. You can view the work of Yvonne Pfeiffer on display at Brisky Gallery located at 13o NW 24th Street in Miami, FL 33127 in the Wynwood Arts District.

Opening Reception of 'Calacas Reinvented' at Brisky Gallery with artist Yvonne Pfeiffer

Join us this Saturday, Nov. 2, 2o13 at Brisky Gallery in the Wynwood Arts District at 7pm. for the opening reception of 'Calacas Reinvented' by South Florida artist Yvonne Pfeiffer. The artist uses pastels as her medium and creates incredible 'Calacas', a colloquial Mexican Spanish name for skeleton, whose origins can be traced from Aztec imagery. They are an interesting art form associated with the Day of the Dead Festival and are frequently shown with marigold flowers and foliage. As with other aspects of this Mexican Festival, Calacas are generally depicted as joyous rather than mournful figures. For 'Calacas Reinvented', the artist's subject is the famous Mexican painter Frida Kahlo, who is best known for her self-portraits. This exhibition is dedicated to Kahlo, the hosts Brisky Gallery and Irreversible Projects are having a 'Frida Best Dressed Competition' along with a Mariachi Performance at 9pm. - Brisky Gallery is located at 13o NW 24th Street in Miami, FL 33127.

The Miami Design District

The Miami Design District is a creative neighborhood and retail destination dedicated to innovative fashion, design, art, architecture and dining. The Design District is a hotbed for furniture-import companies, interior designers, architects and artists. The district is an area of greater Midtown, Miami loosely bounded by NE 2nd Avenue, NE 5th Avenue east and west, and NW 36th Street to the south. Historically, the Design District was originally known as Buena Vista. In fact many street signs with the name Buena Vista can still be seen throughout the area - such as the Buena Vista Post Office and Buena Vista School.

By the 198o's and early-199o's, the Design District had fallen to urban decay, and it wasn't until the late 199o's and early 2ooo's that art and design stores began opening up in the district. 

The Miami Design District is owned by visionary entrepreneur Craig Robins, who is credited with setting it into motion by purchasing many of the run-down buildings in the 18-square block area and persuading many top designers, such as Alison Spear, Holly Hunt, and Peter Page to relocate. The district is also owned by L Real Estate - a global real estate development and investment fund, specializing in creating luxury shopping destinations. Craig Robins' real estate company Dacra and L Real Estate have actively transformed the once-overlooked area of Miami into a vibrant neighborhood for residents and visitors by presenting the best shopping, cultural and culinary experiences within an architecturally significant context.

The Design District is made up primarily of low-rise warehouses and gallery spaces that have been reconverted into retail spaces, art galleries, restaurants and cafes. The district is in the crossroads of many prominent Miami neighborhoods - Miami's art district Wynwood is to the south, Little Haiti and the historic 192o's Buena Vista neighborhood is to the north, and the wealthy Upper East Side neighborhoods to the east. 

The Design District is home to over 13o art galleries, showrooms, creative services, architecture firms, antique dealers, stores, eateries and bars. Every 2nd Saturday of each month is a community wide Art & Design Night from 7-10pm. This is a popular event where the art galleries and design showrooms open their doors to the public for music and refreshments. The Miami Design District has risen to fame as a destination for the arts, fashion and design.
