Weekend Videos Feb 6-7: 131 Projects, Afrobeta, OT Postcard, and Deathface at White Room

#1: 131 Projects - The Orange Arena   I first saw 131 Projects video pieces during the 2008 Borscht Film Festival and instantly loved just about every art piece they've done.  Often times abstract and set to a wide variety of beats and ambient sounds, there's just something about them that brings out my internal art... »

¡MAYDAY! with closing acts Nas and Goodie Mob

Ok, so maybe that order isn't quite correct. How fitting that this show is happening at the Adrienne Arsht Center, because this is as close as a hip-hop concert can get to art as possible.  And that is my completely unqualified opinion,... »
