...Until the end of April, a rented downtown space holds a month-long
exhibition hosted by a gallery of no fixed address. Called Douz and
Mille, the gallery exists, in a manner of speaking, online and in the
rented booths of the global art fairs. Its only permanent home is an
Internet site.
With "Tomás Rivas: Left to My Own Devices,"
gallery owner Rody Douzoglou (hence the "Douz") has made a rare effort
to mount an exhibition that runs the length of most traditional shows
-- in this case, the month of April -- and holds regular public open
hours...
...Another major attraction of the restaurant is its design by Venezuelan architect, Antonio Ochoa-Piccardo, who also designed and owns Garden of Delights, a Latin-American restaurant with fine inner decor. The public area is decorated with red and golden colors. Bright yellow lamps, a variation of Chinese lantern, are visually pleasing and striking. The red chairs are comfortable to sit in...
After helping make the Los Angeles Philharmonic one of the world's most
adventurous and versatile orchestras, Esa-Pekka Salonen has decided to
step down as music director at the end of the 2008-09 season. His
successor, the Philharmonic will announce Monday, will be Gustavo
Dudamel, a charismatic 26-year-old conductor from Venezuela...
...Dancing burns up to 10 calories per minute.
So says Marlon Silva, professional Salsa dance instructor, who will be bringing his caliente moves to The Se-wickley School of Performing Arts for a six-week adult program beginning April 20.
Born in Venezuela, Silva came from a family of dancers and began dancing at the age of two.
At age 25, he moved to Pittsburgh to study accounting, but never gave up his passion for dancing...
Bueno, como ven, hoy lanzamos VenExpat como dicen por ahí "contra viento y marea"... A pesar de todos los inconvenientes, prevaleció la emoción de hacerles llegar el producto de muchos meses de trabajo. VenExpat.com está al aire y estamos eufóricos, esperando que les complazca el resultado, esperando oir sus opiniones y críticas, y por supuesto, cruzando los dedos que las cosas que faltan, vayan cayendo en su sitio.
...“Beyond” is filled with the magic & mystery of vibrant, almost
alive canvases of Chicago pop artist, Isz. Whose paintings provide a
counterpart of philosophical thoughts and ideas of a never ending
process, explored by the sculptures and installations of well known
Venezuelan artist, Aisen Chacin. Here we ponder questions about the end
of life as we know it. “Beyond” promises to captivate the hearts and
minds of an audience looking for answers or in search of the answer to
the real question, “who are we”? ...
Three Perspectives: CIFO 2007 Commissions Program Artists
...Miami-based Venezuelan artist Eugenio Espinoza is the recipient of the 2007 CIFO Achievement Commission, a special honor recognizing the significant contributions of an artist from Latin America that have an extensive career track by providing them with broader exposure. "The Achievement Commission is especially significant, as it offers an international platform for artists with an important trajectory - an exchange that enriches both artist and audience alike," noted Fajardo-Hill...
..Alto saxophonist David Binney and Venezuelan-born pianist Edward Simon
have collaborated since 1989. "Oceanos" is an international effort made
more memorable by Brazilian singer Luciana Souza's wordless vocals.
(Souza appears April 14 at Stewart Theatre.) Binney and Simon work with
bassist Scott Colley and drummer Brian Blade throughout the album and
add Souza, guitarist Adam Rogers, trumpeters Shane Endsley and Jesse
Newman, trombonist Alan Ferber and percussionist Pernell Saturnino on
most tracks...
...He will perform songs from his new album Así and his unforgettable classics.
Ilan Chester is one of the most devoted worshippers of Latin ballad.
The Venezuelan performer continues creating music and, this weekend, he
will show his most recent compositions, as well as established hits, at
the exclusive Boleros, in Miami...
..The best sources were Spanish-language media, but these weren't
accesible to much of the largely English-speaking world of freediving.
After a number of days news finally started to trickle out from the
event organizers, the now-defunct IAFD (International Association of
FreeDivers). One voice in particular stood in the line of fire, that of
the IAFD President, Venezuelan-born Carlos Serra. He stood shoulder to
shoulder with a grieving Pipin and asked for time to figure out what
had gone wrong...
