  • Miami Office Space Can Be Found by Those Who Search February 7, 2017 By: Carla Vianna
    Miami Office Space Can Be Found by Those Who Search February 7, 2017 By: Carla Vianna Businesses searching for space in Miami's urban core have more options than they might think. While vacancy rates are down across the board, significant chunks of space are available in several Class A buildings in downtown and the Brickell Avenue financial district. "There are more alternatives available for those companies that take the time to appropriately investigate the market," said Chris Lovell, a senior managing director with Savills Studley in Miami. Leasing space on an upper floor with a view may be difficult since only six buildings on Brickell have a full floor above the 20th story available for lease. For tenants that can live without the view, there is plenty of open space to choose from. Four downtown Class A buildings have at least 75,000 square feet of contiguous space available, one Class A building on Brickell has a 65,000- square-foot block — "and we don't have tenants of that size standing in line to the claim the space," Lovell said. Savills Studley has found many of the large available blocks are in older downtown buildings. "You're always going to have buildings that are going to have certain pockets available," said Tere Blanca, founder of Miami-based Blanca Commercial Real Estate Inc. She said the market is responding well to the new Miami Central project, which is under construction with 60 percent of its office component pre- leased. The mixed-use development will serve as Brightline's downtown train station and will add 286,000 square feet of office space in two buildings.

    © Journal of Higher Education Outreach and Engagement, Volume 17, Number 3, p. 69, (2013) Copyright © 2013 by the University of Georgia. All rights reserved. ISSN 1534-6104 Miami Dade College and the Engaging Power of the Arts Eduardo J. Padrón Abstract In this essay, the president of Miami Dade College describes the anchoring role that the institution plays in the Miami met- ropolitan region, with a particular emphasis on the many arts and cultural contributions. These efforts, combined with the economic and workforce development endeavors, make Miami Dade College a model anchor institution. he Cuban revolution unfolded throughout the 1950s, cul- minating on January 1, 1959, when Fidel Castro’s forces rolled into Havana and took control of the island nation. TIn the 2 years that followed, more than 200,000 Cubans landed in Miami, beginning a dramatic demographic change for South Florida (United States Census Bureau, 2012). In the ensuing years, additional waves of Cuban, Haitian, and other immigrants from Central and South America forever changed the landscape of South Florida. Another event occurred in 1959, in Miami, that would prove essential in providing a pathway to economic and social integra- tion for this enormous influx of new residents. The State of Florida gave formal approval to launch a new junior college in Miami. Classes opened in 1960 with 1,428 students. By 1967, Dade Junior College had become the largest institution of higher education in the state of Florida, enrolling more than 23,000 students. It was also the fastest growing junior college in the nation. It enrolled more freshmen than the University of Florida, Florida State University, and the University of South Florida combined.

Known as The City Beautiful, Coral Gables stands out as a planned community that blends color, details, and the Mediterranean Revival architectural style.

As early as 1925, City Founder George Merrick predicted Coral Gables would serve as "a gateway to Latin America." To further establish international ties, the City has forged relationships with six Sister Cities: Aix-en Provence, France; Cartagena, Colombia; Granada, Spain; La Antigua, Guatemala; Province of Pisa, Italy; and Quito, Ecuador (emeritus). 3 Our Neighborhood University of Miami: The University of Miami is located in Coral Gables Shopping: Coral Gables attracts national and regional retailers along with an abundance of boutiques and retail shops.

  • LILIANA PORTER the Armory Show 2019 / New York City MARCH 7-10 PIER 90 BOOTH F18 Liliana Porter the Armory Show 2019
    LILIANA PORTER The Armory Show 2019 / New York City MARCH 7-10 PIER 90 BOOTH F18 Liliana Porter The Armory Show 2019 Carrie Secrist Gallery is pleased to present a selection of artwork by Liliana Porter at The Armory Show 2019. On view will be a special selection of artwork spanning the years 1973 to 2019. Our booth is a part of the 2019 Focus section curated by Lauren Haynes, which ‘seeks to explore identity through figuration of both real and imagined forms’. Born in Argentina in 1941, Porter is a member of a pioneering wave of Latinx artists who have mined identity socio-politics using then-new strands of contemporary art making to forge engaging methods of aesthetic engagement. Currently being recognized for her contribution to art history, Porter has recently been highlighted in notable exhibitions including: a career spanning survey at the Museo Tamayo de Arte Contemporáneo (2009), inclusion in the 57th Venice Biennale (2017) and Radical Women: Latin American Art, 1960–1985 (2018). Carrie Secrist Gallery’s booth in New York City will showcase highlights from Liliana Porter’s celebrated and dedicated artistic career of giving voice to the Everyperson. Through the use of self-portraits and found inanimate objects rendered in a variety of media, Porter posits the human condition as fragile and curious, yet full of wonder. Activated by the viewer, these characters are cast in vignettes that theatricalize the trials and tribulations of society depicted through an almost incomprehensible range of human emotion. On view will be a selection of Porter’s well known object-based works in a variety of mediums including photography, drawing, sculpture and installations.
