Al Mal Tiempo, Buena Cara

Product/81 is in a unique position in Wynwood. We’re a creative lab, not a gallery. Therefore, nothing is for sale. Since we’re not worried about selling art, we can do unconventional things like covering our walls in rainbow colored vinyl skulls offset by black typhoons.

Al Mal Tiempo, Buena Cara roughly translates to “show your best face in bad times.” The collaboration between Pedro Varela of Brazil and Maria Isabel Rueda of Colombia was our humble contribution to Art Basel. This video show’s just a fraction of the hard work, thought and soul put into the exhibition.

Don’t Call it Wynwood South

Art by @Patrick_Martinez_Studio

An underlying theme of Art Basel is competition. The thousands of stalls within the cavernous convention center. The fairs on the beach versus Midtown and Wynwood. The local street artists versus the out of towners. They compete for positioning, for space, for walls, for attention. Now it seems Miami neighborhoods are in competition with each other.

Miami Invaded

Miami Herald image – Space Invader on North Miami Ave & 23rd street.

It’s rare to see street art featured in The Herald outside of Basel season, let alone above the fold on the front page. Today’s piece about the infamous Space Invader was a thorough introduction for the uninitiated to the French mosaic menace. And we use the word menace with the utmost admiration.

Neighborhood Profile: Native Films

Wynwood’s long been wowing the world with its art, be it on the street or in the gallery, but what many folks don’t know is the ‘hood also houses some of the most enterprising creatives in other fields as well. Take, for instance, Native Films. The 15 year-old outfit began life on South Beach when that particular stretch of sand still could stand feisty upstarts; a year ago though company kingpin Craig Whitaker saw that the new and now was goin’ down on the Mainland and quickly picked up and moved shop. If the onslaught of heavy-hitting accounts he’s since landed is any indication, it was the right move indeed.

Britto Makes a Brilliant Comeback

By now you’ve undoubtedly heard word of last week’s graffiti bombing of Britto’s Wynwood headquarters, after all, everyone from Beached Miami (who had it first) to WSVN (who had it in first-person) has covered the damn thing.

At Beached the question arose about whether or not such an act was deserved, let alone warranted, with most folks claiming it was wrong to mar the man’s building, no matter what one feels about his art. (Since this attack seemed personal, it seemed superfluous to note that nearly every Wynwood building gets bombed at one time or another.)

Memorial Day Mystery

Seems the Miami Zombie isn’t the only mystery to arise over Memorial Day Weekend, for while a naked madman was eating the face off someone near the MacArthur Causeway, an enterprising art op was affixing a series of sculptures to a few choice utility poles around Wynwood.

Gibson Six Strings it in Wynwood

The building is as iconic as the brand it now houses. That said edifice happens to be one of the most iconic in a neighborhood full of iconic edifices only compounds the supreme suitability of it all. We’re speaking of the gloriously modern Dorissa Building, that sublime blue-and-white striped two-plex across from The Electric Pickle which since last March has been the Miami home for none other than Gibson.
