Vizcaya Lunch & Learn Series presents the Les Standiford and Last Train to Paradise -- Vizcaya Museum
Start: Feb 15 2012 1:30 pm

The Vizcaya Lunch and Learn Series presents the Centennial Edition of Last Train to Paradise by Les Standiford.

In an age where e-publishing has created profound changes in the industry, the commemorative edition of Last Train to Paradise (B&B Press, $60) is a reminder that there are some books that can only be fully experienced and appreciated in physical form.

As artistic director for the Commemorative Edition, published by B&B Press in conjunction with the Flagler Museum of Palm Beach, Petra Mason culled through more than 1,000 photographs in archives up and down the East Coast, including the Library of Congress, Cooper-Hewitt Museum, the Miami-Dade and Monroe County Libraries and others, finally selecting 154 to illustrate and augment the original text.  She then had the unenviable task of choosing just the right formats and placement of the images, many of which have not been published in book form before, to properly support and enhance the reading experience.

Please call 305-856-4866, Ext 111 to RSVP. Seating is limited.

William Gonzalez -- Recuerdos intimos de Cuba -- Gables
Start: Feb 24 2012 8:00 pm

After many years of seeing his extraordinary Cuban slide shows, Mr. William Gonzalez is now bringing a truly unique treasure trove of his latest acquisitions. Images of a long gone 1940's telephone, a rare seen "dos centavos" coin. Did you ever see the "tranvias" cemetery? Did you ever cross in Miramar the all steel "Puente de Pote"? Or for that matter saw a real Cuban "bodega"? Bet you bought "Guarina" ice-cream from a horse drawn vendor, didn't you? How about a picture of the world famous Cuban sailboat yacht "El Criollo" during the St. Petersburg to Havana race? These and many more of his gems will make this list too extensive. Do not miss this Very Cuban Presentation…shown in his own peculiar way via one of the last Kodak slide projectors, for a real "nostalgia" night with "boleros" music and all.

Letra Urbana -- Dr. Cristina Bulacio -- Gables
Start: Feb 28 2012 6:30 pm

Note: This event is in Spanish. Alentando el encuentro desde múltiples perspectivas, para explorar cómo los cambios del último milenio, dan forma al hombre y la realidad contemporánea, Letra Urbana junto al Centro Cultural Argentino presenta: ¿Y para qué el arte? con la Dra. Cristina Bulacio. La condición humana conlleva tres factores que marcan su perfil: la caducidad de la existencia, sólo un margen de libertad y, también una poderosa imaginación; a ellos se debe la imperiosa necesidad de trascender más allá de sus propios límites. En ese movimiento de salir de sí mismo los hombres han buscado sostén, tradicionalmente, en los sentidos que albergan el arte y la religión, más que el saber que da la ciencia. Sin arte y sin religión una sociedad languidece y muere. Nos preguntamos por qué. No hablamos de los mercados actuales de arte ni de obras de arte como mercancías; hablamos de la obra de arte como autorreferente y del verdadero hacedor, el artista anónimo y creativo, que se juega el sentido de la vida en cada obra. En tiempos de violencia y exclusión, de tecnología y utilitarismo, donde la eficiencia es un valor supremo, nos preguntamos ¿por qué el hombre sigue haciendo arte?

Ace Abbott -- The Rogue Aviator: In the Back Alleys of Aviation-- Gables
Start: Mar 5 2012 8:00 pm

Ace Abbott's book, the recently released 3rd edition of The Rogue Aviator, will put you in the cockpit of the F-4 Phantom for exhilarating Mach 2 test flights and pulse-racing, treetop-level formation flights. Ace's Learjet charter stories will take you to five-star hotels and restaurants in Paris, jails in Venezuela, and greasy, noisy, air cargo ramps. The final journey encompasses a 22-year adventure as a Boeing 727 Captain with nearly a dozen different airlines during the unstable years of airline post-deregulation (1978 to present).

This insider's perspective of a professional pilot's exposure to the "back alleys" of commercial aviation will reveal a roller-coaster-like ride that is both entertaining and informative. Ace's unstable career results in numerous oscillations between the aviation penthouse and the aviation outhouse. The myth of under-worked and over-paid pilots will be debunked. Spiced with humor, The Rogue Aviator is complemented with occasional sketches of pathos and poignancy. Captain Abbott's story also contains a smattering of decadence and debauchery.
Fasten your seat belt and hang on!
