SCOPE Miami Beach 2015 | VH1 + The Breaks

Yup, The Breaks Lounge definitely is on my SCOPE Miami Beach must-see list especially since The Breaks star Mack Wilds will be doing a live DJ set during Tuesday evening’s opening reception in the SCOPE Atrium, hosted by VH1.

As the recent SCOPE Miami Beach update says:

ONCE UPON A RHYME… Hip hop changed culture as we know it, and the early 90s in New York City was one of its most groundbreaking eras. Were celebrating the artists and the music that defined the times and changed the game forever.

Thats why were bringing this innovative era of music to SCOPE Miami Beach to celebrate VH1s new original movie, The Breaks, premiering on Monday, January 4th.

The “Breaks Lounge” will capture the spirit of that time and place with a playlist curated by Q-Tip and rare hip hop memorabilia. Check out original A Tribe Called Quest lyric sheets and rare authentic ’90s hip hop apparel on loan from DJ Ross One, author of Rap Tees: A Collection of Hip-Hop T-Shirts 1980-1999.

Dont just take a selfie, make a GIF in the #PHHHOTO booth, and go home with a customized beat from Monster DNA!

Miami Design District Site-Specific Performance Series

The season finale of Site-Specific Performance Series at the Miami Design District happens this Saturday, November 21^st at 5:30pm.

Instituted by Craig Robins in 2014, the roving series brings performance out of the traditional theater and invites guests to explore the neighborhood via ephemeral original works of dance, music, theatre, art, and poetry, which often engage the permanent public art installations in the neighborhood.

The finale event will include four performances featuring artists Paul Tei and Mad Cat Theatre Company, Das SaD, Fernando Calzadilla of Miami Theater Center, and Alma Dance Theater.

Please add this amazing event to your weekend must-see calendar! More details after the jump. (more…)

MoMA Design Store Pop-Up at the Delano

The MoMA Design Store announced today that they will be launching their first installation and pop-up store during the week of Art Basel Miami Beach!!!

The Skateroom will be displayed at the Delano , a Morgans Hotel Group property celebrating its 20th anniversary.

This immersive installation will feature limited edition skate decks with artwork by Andy Warhol made in collaboration with The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.

Above: Limited Edition set of 32 decks each featuring a different flavor soup from Warhol’s 32 Campbell’s Soup Cans.

These exclusive skate decks will be available for purchase, in very limited quantities, with percentage of proceeds from the sales being donated to The Skateroom’s non-profit partner, Skateistan, an international NGO initiative that empowers children in third-world countries through skateboarding and education.

I am super-excited because this a trifecta of happiness for me as the MoMA Design Store always has the coolest stuff, the Delano is one of the coolest places on earth and skate decks with Andy Warhol artwork are the coolest decks ever!
