Over the past few years the Miami music and arts scenes have truly flourished. The Wynwood Art District area is flush with art galleries that are bustling during the monthly “Art Walk” festivities. It also helps to have a resurgence in creativity every Spring and Winter with Art Basel and the Winter Music Conference. While Miami is known for their established art and music staples such as Romero Britto, the MSG Cartel, Rick Ross, and DJ Craze, a ‘New Miami’ is surfacing with fresh talent and perspective. We’ve discussed some of the members previously in our “New Found Hype” article.
I want to shift your focus to a duo of directors,Luc “UnkleLuc” Alexandre and Andres “Personal” Antonio, whose moving portrait entitled “Goodnight Goodbye: A Beautiful Evening In A Closed Mind” takes you on “a journey through a dreamers mind.” This abstract video, left open to your imaginative interpretation, has a haunting narrative voice that guides you through the various stages of the subject’s world, accompanied by an apt soundtrack keeps your mind on edge. Watch this video twice. Not for the sake of views, but to attain a clear cognizance and understanding of what you just processed. It is definitely not what you initially thought it to be. Have fun with this rabbit hole, Alice.
