#20 - Uber Talented Pamela Salem And Mitchell Berkman of Miami Radio Players by Alette Simmons-Jimenez

The leading ladies of alternative spaces in Miami chat with Art & Company. Lorie Mertes of Locust Projects and Beth Boone of Miami Light Projects share the stories of their own struggles and successes and the inspiration that got them where they are today.

This episode's artist couple will inspire your life. They go from teaching and making art to breeding bunnies and shaping bonsai, from making music with sewing machines and bicycles to driving cattle. They've gone from Wyoming, Montana, and Missouri, to London and finally Miami. This is not your everyday life.

We're talking about facing and fighting irrelevance in today’s art systems and the big market, that strange parallel universe of the art market. Arts writers Elisa Turner and Anne Tschida discuss the creative writing process that parallels the practice of artists of any discipline today.

From placing cutting-edge art in affluent suburban communities to coffee shops to planting seeds to German spies, we covered it all. Listen to these two phenomenal and focused Miami-based women artists, curators, and activists here to initiate change.

Musical talent "Haute Tension" (High Voltage)a Miami band with the trio Alexandre Merbouti, Monica McGivern, and Nabedi Osorio, delivers a highly charged new sound. Get the scoop on their debut album and the details of the band's unique heritage. We have some sample tracks to perk up your ears and wake up your senses.

Living and working in Miami since 1992, today's guest is the founder and creative director of 305 Creative Group, a boutique creative agency in Wynwood specializing in Branding, Social Media, Photography and Marketing. Kerry delivers the whole story on the origins of the Miami Art Scene. An "idea" person, she's always been inspired to do outstanding work collaborating with our city's creative people. She personifies Miami with a wildly mixed-media heritage: Irish - German - Spanish - Haitian.

In this Couples Series, an artist and a furniture designer/woodworker tell us about their separate journeys from opposite corners of the globe heading straight to Florida and the art community here. It's all about the smell of soil and fresh cut wood and mulberries. Oh - and yes cats - the must-have studio cats.

Guests today comment on beauty, domestic violence, ghosts, and monsters. Artists, Cat del Buono and Yeon Jin Kim, discuss working in new media and film, and their most recent projects. We spoke about what led their studio practice in this direction and other thoughts on why a great percentage of women dominate the world of film and video art.
