Flagler Street Miami Florida 33130 305-375-2665 During the 1960s and 1970s, the region of Almeria in Spain, was host to dozens of filmmakers who constructed elaborate movie sets, invoking locations from the American Southwest to Bedouin Arabia.

Artomatic 2012

Apart from what one thinks of the quality of the art, I’m not aware of another all volunteer art show on this scale anywhere else. I participated this year by showing a single large-scale photographic print titled La Chanca (shown above). The neighborhood of La Chanca is a historically impoverished zone made up […]
