FROM THE CEO
A Warm
Welcome
It’s so wonderful to meet you, art&culture readers! My name is Dave Lawrence, and I’m excited to join you as the new president and CEO of the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County. It’s been just two months since I’ve made the long trek from my former home in Indianapolis, and already I’m impressed with the passion this community has for its arts and culture. In fact, that’s exactly why I decided to take this position. I do have a bit of a confession to make: This issue of art&culture magazine is my “cheat sheet” for the upcoming season—and I am so, so thankful for it. To have a full calendar of cultural things to do, in-depth interviews to read, and stunning photography to enjoy is an invaluable resource as I learn more and more about this incredible community. In this issue, readers can learn more about the importance of public funding for the arts, see some of our county’s amazing public art through the eyes of fashion bloggers, explore the beauty of dance with photographer and dancer Steve Caras, and, for dessert, view iconic cultural institutions transformed into a decadent set of pastries. This magazine is an amalgamation of many strong efforts from every sector of this cultural community. I’d like to thank our staff, our donors, our board of directors, our members—and you, art&culture readers— for being a part of it and, especially, for welcoming me into it. Thank you,
Dave Lawrence President and CEO Cultural Council of Palm Beach County

1 STATE OF THE ART If Florida could talk, it would describe a vast history and rich, textured stories about how it came UNTITLED, 1950S, to be. A new exhibit is BRUCE MOZART putting all these details together, utilizing more than 200 works of high-caliber art from public and private collections to depict the history and mythology of the state through the eyes of some of the most celebrated artists of the period. Imagining Florida: History and Myth in the Sunshine State is a major anthology of art made in and inspired by Florida and its people, places, flora, and fauna. Boca Raton Museum of Art, Boca Raton, November 13 to March 24, $12 (free for members), bocamuseum.org, 561.392.2500
CULTURAL CONCIERGE The Cultural Concierge is a complimentary service provided by the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County that offers customized recommendations and enhanced access to local events and venues based on individual interests. Visit culturalconcierge.com or call 833.PBC.ARTS (833.722.2787).
CLASSIC GOLD The term “genius” should be reserved for remarkable individuals, and Jeremy Denk is one of the few who deserve the title. A 2013 MacArthur Fellow—winner of a “genius” grant—the American classical pianist will perform an impressive oeuvre of pieces by Beethoven, John Adams, Bizet, Mendelssohn, and Schumann at the Kravis Center in December for one night only. Concertgoers looking for a deeper understanding of the lauded musician and his program should arrive early to sit in on the “Beyond the Stage” discussion before the concert. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts, West Palm Beach, December 6, tickets start at $160 (for the eight-part Regional Arts Classical Concert Series), kravis.org, 561.832.7469

CELEBRATING AN ICON In Palm Beach County, the name Addison Mizner is synonymous with iconic architecture. The area’s abundance of Mediterranean-inspired design is owed to Mizner, and his legend is on full display in a new exhibit in downtown West Palm Beach. Building Paradise: Addison Mizner’s Legacy showcases the drastic changes Mizner introduced to the Palm Beaches through the display of materials long hidden from public view and gems from the Historical Society of Palm Beach County’s collection. With 2018 marking the 100th anniversary of Mizner’s first major Florida commission—the Everglades Club—this is an exhibit you won’t want to miss.

First the women of Truvy’s beauty salon reveal their strengths as individuals and friends as the threat of tragedy begins to wilt their delicate Louisiana charm in Steel Magnolias.

Actor/director John Tartaglia (of Avenue Q fame) aims to please with spectacular costumes and effects. Maltz Jupiter Theatre, Jupiter, tickets start at $50, jupitertheatre.org, 561.575.2223

X FACTOR Graffiti has been around for thousands of years, from ancient Egypt to today. Once viewed as a form of vandalism, graffiti art is revered for its bold artists and strong messages. A new show at the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County—X Marks the Spot—celebrates the many styles and the maturation of graffiti and mural art. No longer labeled “misguided youth,” artists like Shepard Fairey and Banksy have made names for themselves creating some of the most sought-after art, and this exhibit puts the spotlight on local talent.

ARTS WAREHOUSE
TCROBISON
ARTISTS FROM AROUND THE WORLD HAVE A NEW PLACE TO CALL HOME IN PALM BEACH COUNTY. JILL BROWN, MANAGER OF THE ARTS WAREHOUSE, DISCUSSES WHAT’S IN STORE. Delray Beach’s new Arts Warehouse was created to help fledgling artists’ dreams come true—and manager Jill Brown is like the incubator’s mother hen. “We want this building to shine and for the artists here to shine,” says Brown, who joined Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Agency in June 2017 after launching many education-based arts programs in North Carolina. The 15,000-square-foot complex, which opened in February, includes a gallery
and studio space for 26 painters, collage-makers, photographers, sculptors, and filmmakers. It also offers workshops to help the artists hone skills like budgeting, self-branding, and marketing. Here, Brown talks about the new cultural hub. What is the primary goal of the Arts Warehouse in Delray Beach? JB: We want to help emerging to mid-level artists acquire the business skills they will need for long, successful careers doing the job they love, without being starving artists. We bring in experts to help our artists—and the public—learn

grant writing, self-branding, budgeting, marketing, and social media. And we offer hands-on workshops in areas like spray painting, figure drawing, and other skills they may want to learn. But we’re not handing them everything; they work toward their goals. When artists “graduate” in three or four years, we’ll bring in new ones. How will it involve the community? JB: Pineapple Grove has long been an “artist’s alley,” but some artists have moved away due to redevelopments. The Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Agency spent more than $2 million to create the Arts Warehouse, seeing it as an opportunity to draw visitors while supporting the cultural community. We go to bat for each other. Our artists open their studios to visitors and do demos during the CRA-sponsored Art Walk on the first Friday of each month.
apply, and I conceal their names so the board can review their artwork and needs blindly. Then we bring in finalists to be interviewed, and we are tough because we want the right people with the right mind-set who want to work hard and aren’t already established. If they’re looking for a second storefront, they’re overqualified. Who are some of the current artists? JB: Project Runway fashion designer Amanda Perna, who wants to launch a couture line and her own textiles; mixed-media artist Vicki Siegel; sculptor Cherie Saleeby; collage artist Missy DON’T MISS! Miami-based Puerto Rican
artist Luis Garcia Nerey and his site-specific solo exhibit. The gallery-wide installation runs through November 10.
The warehouse building itself is a work of art. What’s its history? JB: In 1962, Winnie Hayden built the warehouse for her moving and storage business. In the ’80s, she let her granddaughter Kim Fay, a budding artist and college student, sneak inside and paint 6-foot murals. When the CRA bought the building, it took it down to its studs to create a 20-foot-high gallery with moving walls and 15 studios to house 26 artists. Small world that it is, Kim and I found each other on the Arts Warehouse Facebook page. She was overwhelmed with joy to see what we had done with the space. It’s what she had always envisioned. ‡ Arts Warehouse, 313 NE 3rd St., Delray Beach, artswarehouse.org, 561.330.9614
What types of artists are accepted as artistsin-residence and how are they selected? JB: We’d like to have a variety and are really open to any art form, including digital artists and jewelry makers. The only genre we’re excluding, for now, are ceramicists because we haven’t met fire codes for a kiln yet. Artists

Supporting the Arts
A
t first glance, $2.6 million is a solid chunk of change—and then the confetti settles. This is the statewide budget proposed by the State of Florida for the nearly 500 arts and cultural organizations recommended for funding by the Division of Cultural Affairs. A supposed lifeline for many of these organizations, the sum offers few options beyond canceling free programs for children and the underserved, cutting jobs, and, in some cases, even closing permanently. “For anyone to say they don’t value [art and culture] is to say you don’t value Mom and apple pie,” says Bill Parmelee, CFO at Oxbow and vice-chair of the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County. So the question naturally lends itself: Does Florida value art and culture? Of its $88.7 billion state budget for 2019, only $2.6 million is allocated to the category, which subsequently moves Florida from tenth to forty-eighth in per capita appropriations for the arts. Over the years, there has been a steep and steady decrease in cultural funding in our state: $43 million in 2015, $24 million in 2018, and now just $2.6 million in 2019. That’s an 89 percent cut between 2018 and 2019. Yet during that time, Florida reaped the cultural benefits, which included a $4.7 billion economic impact, $492.3 million in state and local government revenues, and 132,366 full-time jobs. “Payback from the arts is well documented as far as economic development

and community attraction of relocation,” explains Mike Bracci, president of Northern Trust and chair of the board at the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts. “There is a clear indicator that there is a good return on public dollars that are invested in the arts.” In Palm Beach County alone, the cultural sector generates $633 million and provides 14,212 full-time jobs. The arts play a huge role not only in business recruiting—bringing new jobs and companies to the area—but also in being able to recruit quality talent. “If a company is hiring somewhere in a cultural wasteland, then [candidates are] less likely to come work for you if they have other relocation options,” says Parmelee. “This extends to colleges and universities that are hiring quality staff and faculty and to the medical profession.... There’s also diversity in thoughts and ideas that comes with a vibrant cultural scene.” “Art and culture” itself may be subjective, but the value consensus is clear: It’s great for the economy and positively impacts the quality of life in Palm Beach County. Yet certainly there is work to be done to prevent a similar budgetary decision in 2020. “My experience is not that people feel like art and culture are not important,” says Parmelee. “It’s more that [these programs] should get paid for some other way. We need more creative thinking by councils and businesses.” Adds Bracci: “We have to get through the rhetoric. The challenge is making sure budgets are fair.” ‡

West Palm Beach’s monthly Sunday on the Waterfront series is always a big draw—but its most popular concert of the year comes with a yuletide twist. The Aloha Islanders return to the Meyer Amphitheater December 16 to stage their annual Tropical Holiday Spectacular. Packed with Polynesian entertainment, this family-friendly production stars traditional hula dancers, Samoan fire-knife performers, and plenty of percussion.

Gift of a Lifetime WITH MORE THAN 100 WORKS FROM THEIR PRIVATE COLLECTION SET TO GO TO THE NEW NORTON MUSEUM, HOWARD AND JUDIE GANEK OFFER A SNEAK PEEK AT WHAT’S IN STORE By Susie Stanton Staikos Photography by Jerry Rabinowitz
Howard and Judie Ganek shot into the limelight in Palm Beach County last spring with the announcement that they would donate 125 works of art from their private collection to the Norton Museum of Art. Described by the Norton as “transformative,” the unexpected gift will enhance the Norton’s permanent contemporary art collection with works by artists not TOWARDS THE MIRROR (1998), JUAN MUÑOZ; JUDIE AND HOWARD GANEK (ABOVE)

subject, and they spent Saturday afternoons wandering through Soho and talking to gallery owners. When they were ready to get their feet wet as nascent collectors, they reached out for help. Howard’s friend (and fellow partner at Neuberger Berman) Arthur Goldberg would accompany the Ganeks on their gallery visits. And Mike Danoff, director of the art program at Neuberger Berman, also shared his expertise. The more the Ganeks saw, the more they developed an eye for what was to become important work. Although Judie says Howard was more knowledgeable, Howard credits Judie with a more astute and daring eye. They took to heart something Goldberg had told them: “Whatever you don’t like at first, go back and take another look.” The couple’s very first acquisition was Kitchener (1979) by British artists Gilbert & George. At the time, the Ganeks lived in an older apartment in Manhattan with beautiful molding around the walls, thus collecting art meant difficult decisions had to be made to accommodate the large canvases. In other words, the molding would have to go. Judie closed her eyes and, without hesitation, told the contractor, “Go ahead, remove it.” Explains Judie: “You can’t collect contemporary art unless you have big wall space.” So that was that. As Howard has mentioned, he wasn’t always as confident in certain decisions—which became evident at photographer Cindy Sherman’s first gallery show at the Metro Picture Gallery in 1980. Some of her still film was going for $100 a box. Howard wasn’t convinced this

was of any value. Judie, on the other hand, had more than a hunch that this was a big deal—but was unable
28 art&culture
026_COLLECTOR_AC1018.indd 28
9/18/18 10:43 AM
to convince Howard. “It turns out, that $100 purchase would have been worth millions today,” says Howard. “This is my greatest regret.” A happier story tells of their visit to Londonbased gallerist Anthony d’Offay’s booth at Art Basel in Switzerland, where Howard fell for Ed Ruscha’s Swollen Tune (1997). He was prepared to buy it on the spot, but the gallery owner told the Ganeks it was going to a museum in Germany. Howard continues the story: “Six months later, we were in London and visited the d’Offay gallery. Lo and behold, the painting was still there. I asked what happened and was told that the German museum was unable to raise the money. So I bought it right then and there.” The piece is still Howard’s favorite. The graphic Cibachrome print Heaven and Hell (1984) by photographer Andres Serrano was one of Judie’s more daring choices. Religious attitudes toward women is a theme that runs through Serrano’s work, and this particular piece depicts a bound nude woman next to a cardinal of the Catholic Church. The painting hung above their bed, and when the apartment went on the market, the real estate agent asked if they would mind taking it down so as not to deter potential buyers. Today the Ganeks’ collection is divided between apartments in West Palm Beach and New York City. Stepping out of the elevator into the foyer of their Florida apartment, a sculpture of a man stands in front of a mirror on the wall. If you look closer at the work by Juan Muñoz, Towards the Mirror (1998), you notice his eyes are closed. The message: Most people go through life looking but not really seeing. The tantalizing image of Cindy Sherman’s Untitled #305 (1994), seen through the grill gate to the entrance hall, is a close-up of two seemingly human faces about to kiss. On closer inspection, they are strange doll-like faces. Opposite is one of Damien Hirst’s untitled signature butterfly mandalas (2007). Once again, Judie took action to fit a piece into the space, this time by removing the original frame. Crouched on the floor is Antony Gormley’s Hold II (1989), a cast-iron figure with his arms clasping his head between his knees. Embedded into the entrance archway to the living room is Anish Kapoor’s Untitled (1997). The small, polished stainless steel concave sphere reflects and distorts the viewer’s image. Inside the

Whether in New York or Palm Beach, Howard and Judie say they feel lucky to live surrounded by their art. “When I wake up every day and look around at all our pieces of art, I get as much enjoyment as I did when I saw them for the first time,” Howard says. Unlike Muñoz’s foolish man in front of the mirror, the Ganeks have spent their lives with their eyes wide open. ‡

STYLE WONDER TWINS BREN AND PIP PARKINS COMBINE THEIR LOVE OF FASHION AND ART TO CREATE UNIQUE LOOKS AROUND SOME OF LAKE WORTH’S POWERFUL STREET ART
Wings of Unity (2017) by Jennifer Chaparro, mural at Mr. Shoe Repair, 612 Lucerne Avenue
If you haven’t yet heard of them, just wait.... Born and raised in South Florida, 27-year-old Bren and Pip Parkins are quickly becoming new-age fashion icons with their uncanny knack for combining modern, edgy streetwear with throwback pieces to create stylish looks that are all their own. Both graduates of Southern New Hampshire University with bachelor’s degrees in English, the sisters—identical twins, in fact—grew up immersed in culture and the arts. “Our childhood was steeped in travel and a love for art,” says Bren. “Our grandparents would take us on many of their excursions to places like Paris and Northern France, which fueled our creativity and heightened our obsession with all things whimsical and historical. Claude Monet was one of our child-

Pip: “Bren and I both have natural auburn hair, so I was immediately drawn to the rust color of this sculpture. I decided to play on the warm, inviting orange and red hues but soften them with a floral print. The flowing sleeves of my top and the trousers contrast the blunt lines of the airplane, creating something visually pleasing and interesting. The lightweight fabric is also a nod to the weightlessness of a paper airplane.”

A dancer’s expression in movement is a thing of beauty and raw power. Who better to capture it in images than a dancer? Steve Caras, who danced for New York City Ballet under the direction of George Balanchine for 14 years, picked up a camera while waiting in the wings and cultivated his talent between performances. Since he first clicked a shutter 41 years ago, Caras has amassed more than 120,000 images of dancers on stage and backstage. His archive, which includes photos of legendary dancers like Mikhail Baryshnikov and Rudolf Nureyev, has become one of ballet’s most significant resources and is often used for research and education. Caras’s career was documented in an Emmy Award–winning documentary Steven Caras: See Them Dance, which aired on PBS stations in 2012 and

In Palm Beach County, he is involved with the Kravis Center’s educational programs, teaches at Florida Atlantic University’s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, and supports local ballet companies Ballet Palm Beach, Boca Ballet Theatre, and The Harid Conservatory.

BITES TASTE OF SPAIN TAPEO
Galician native Juan Carlos Mendez and Ecuadorean-born Chef Giovanni Savinovich have combined their five decades of restaurant experience and passion for Iberian cuisine to take Palm Beachers on an epicurean journey through Spain. Indulge in tasty tapas like gambas ajilio (shrimp sautéed in garlic), imported cheeses and jamón Ibérico, and the tortilla Española (potato omelet with onions). The more than 30 shared plates, plus classic meat and seafood entrées and seven specialty paellas, are all accompanied by a well-chosen selection of wines from Spain and California. Overlooking the Intracoastal, you might easily mistake your surroundings for the La Barceloneta. 118 Clematis St., West Palm Beach, tapeotapas.com, 561.514.0811 —Mark Spivak

FINALE
NATURAL WONDER In 2009, ten years after graduating from the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale, Kim Seng—a.k.a Captain Kimo—started a fishing blog. It turned out, visitors to the site were far more taken by the accompanying photographs than the fishing musings. So Seng focused his site on photography. These days, the Florida-based photographer spends most of his time documenting the raw beauty surrounding him, like this gorgeous sunset snapped in the Juno Dunes Natural Area in 2015. captainkimo.com 72 art&culture
