Not only do I love reading cookbooks for fun, I just love fun, new stuff for the kitchen and the home.

KREL DECORATES THE GUSMAN THEATER STAGE WITH UV-ACTIVATED NATURE AT CHROMATICS AND PRINCE RAMA CONCERT DECEMBER 7, AT 8PM, DURING ART BASEL MIAMI BEACH WEEK

KARELLE LEVY, the acclaimed knitwear designer and artist, has been invited to create the set design for the CHROMATICS SHOW during Miami’s ART BASEL WEEK. This artistic intervention with nature will feature glowing oversized flowers and dangling vines hanging from the rafters.

This installation is sponsored by LUREX and will use UV reactive yarns to transform the stage into a luminous extra-terrestrial jungle. The piece features massive petal and oversized outgrowths, which point to the uneasy and often, tense relationship between man and genetically modified food. We are in the realm of weird science, an altered future, where man’s interference and meddling has dramatic consequences. KARELLE creates strange and splendid forms in a dazzling array of colors, glowing with an unearthly beauty and an oddly futuristic aesthetic.

One can experience Chromatics’ dark, sexy, electronic pop-rock sound at the gorgeous Olympia Theater. Their music incorporates elements of Italo disco, lo-fi rock, and noir pop, using a palette of analog synths, hypnotizing female vocals, and rhythmic patterns. Their music was featured prominently in the hit film ‘Drive’, they were the live sound track for Chanel’s S/S 2013 show, and their most recent album ‘Kill For Love’ was awarded “Best New Music” by Pitchfork.

The opening act are ‘Prince Rama’ (Paw Tracks), a two-piece psychedelic art- rock band originally from Florida and now based in Brooklyn.

Since 1926, The OLYMPIA THEATER at the GUSMAN CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS has been Miami’s beloved cultural center. Tucked into Miami’s contemporary skyline is an enchanting Mediterranean courtyard with shimmering stars and golden balconies. Majestic turrets and towers suggest another era when performances were events, and grand theaters provided a dreamlike escape from the modern world. The Gusman Theater is not just a “venue” – is the jewel of South Florida arts and entertainment facilities, affording South Florida’s diverse community and its international guests a unique cultural experience that defies comparison.

Doors open at 7pm with a VIP cocktail reception, show at 8pm and ends at 11pm

This show is presented by SWEAT RECORDS and M.O., with generous support from HEINEKEN, ZIGNUM MEZCAL, FLAVORPILL, LUREX and FRIENDS OF THE GUSMAN.
