This is an 18 + event.

“Bad as I Wanna Be” A Solo Exhibit of NEW Works from JESSY NITE.
Opening Reception, Saturday, February 11, 2012 7 – 11 PM
Private Collectors Preview Friday, February 10, 2012 6 – 9 PM rsvp@primaryprojectspace.com
As the opening exhibition of the 2012 season, Primary PROJECTS presents Jessy Nite’s first Miami-based solo exhibition ‘Bad As I Wanna Be’, an outspoken series of multimedia works evoking the spirit of rebellion, determination, success, luxury and gender identity from a pointedly feminine perspective.
Wielding brash confidence and overt sexuality as her metaphoric weaponry, Nite’s practice follows a lineage of groundbreaking female artists who have relayed their personal experiences within patriarchal paradigms (both within and outside the realm of contemporary art-making) loudly and not without explicit, often scandalous terminology. Nite relays her observations through a gritty, street-inspired lens revealing the aspirations and inherent limitations of the drive to win and win big. Holding fast to the live fast, die young’ spirit of punk rock and clandestine urban culture, Nite’s typographic work and multimedia installations are made for those who throw caution to the wind and fearlessly, publicly flaunt their creative (sometimes self-destructive) powers. Phrases and words reflecting Nite’s own brash, shameless confidence and street-wise swagger act as both a draw and defense: they are warning signs to those who fail to meet Nite’s own ruthless work ethic, but also a battle cry for all those who measure up.
A highlight of Nite’s prolific series of sculptures, print works and installations include a series of words, associated with Nite’s brash aesthetic: Paid (spelled out with hot pink jewels), Waster (pushing out of the wall in mirrored splinters) and Disappear Here (threaded through with boldly colored string). The exhibition’s centerpiece will feature a full-size bed, where visitors are invited to lie down and see the words ‘Bad As I Wanna Be’ hover over them in wild cursive letters. Customized jewelry pieces (ready-to-wear),
Jessy Nite is a multidisciplinary artist and graphic designer who has studied shoe design at the Fashion Institute in New York and Art Direction at the Miami Ad School.

ROW, ROW, ROW YOUR BOAT – DOWN FT. LAUDERDALE’S NEW RIVER FOR RED BULL CANDOLA
Red Bull now accepting applications for teams to sail their own can-inspired gondolas
Press Release — Thousands of downtown Fort Lauderdale residents and visitors are expected to line the riverfront when the Red Bull Candola (can-doh-la) returns to the “Venice of America” for the second year on April 14, 2012. The city, known for its scenic canals, sense of fun and the beautiful Intracoastal Waterway, will host the event that offers home-grown ‘gondoliers’ the chance to race and showcase manmade, human-powered gondolas down the New River. Teams of three – two mates and a captain – will take on the task of task of designing, building and rowing these creative crafts down a .33 mile course between Huizenga Plaza and Esplanade Park in downtown Fort Lauderdale.
Interested gondoliers can apply online at www.redbullusa.com/candola now through January 31, 2012. Registration is free, but only 30 teams will be chosen to participate, so entrants should make sure their gondola stands out. The craft’s design and creativity key criteria for selection. Teams will score some extra wings if they include a certain 8.4-oz. can in the watercraft’s design.
Entrants need not worry about mastering the skill of making the fastest gondola. Time is just one of the factors the judges take into consideration. Creativity and showmanship play a big part into which group gets crowned with the title, “Big Bambino.” To win over the amoré and support of the crowd and the judges, each team will perform a 30-second skit before race time. There will also be a “people’s choice” vote for teams to compete for another prize at the end.
While all boats must actually float, there are a few other water safety regulations required before castoff. All boats must be entirely human-powered – no motors or stored energy permitted – and cannot exceed 100 pounds (without passengers). Boats must be between six and twelve feet long and at least two feet above water, with a maximum of six feet tall. Vessels should also be made using lightweight and environmentally safe materials, since while gondolas are intended to stay afloat, it’s not likely all will do so and the water must be kept safe for its inhabitants. Strong swimming skills are also required by all aboard…in case they go overboard.
So come on, float a few ideas with your friends and get involved! For more information on how to apply and to find a full list of rules about Red Bull Candola, visit www.redbullusa.com/candola.

As you may have heard by now Jay-Z and Beyonce have welcomed to the world a healthy little girl. Jay-Z has vowed to never use the word B*TCH again. Having a kid changes peoples perspective…
via VTM
In a gift to his newborn daughter Jay penned a poem explaining to her why he would never use the word again, declaring “degradation has passed.” He also changed the lyrics to his hit single “I Got 99 problems, but a b*tch ain’t one,” to “lady.”
Read the full poem:
“Before I got in the game, made a change, and got rich,/ I didn’t think hard about using the word B—-./ I rapped, I flipped it, I sold it, I lived it/now with my daughter in this world/ I curse those that give it./ I never realized while on the fast track/ that I’d give riddance to the word bitch, to leave her innocence in tact./ No man will degrade her, or call her out her name/ the women won’t despise her and call her the same./ I know it’s gonna miss me/ cuz we been together like Nike Airs and crisp tees/ when we all used to hang out front/ singing 99 problems but a lady ain’t one./ Excuse me miss, can I be your mister/ cuz I can tell the difference from a little girl and a sister,/ She never grew up, her father left her alone/ I promise not to talk like we used to/ until Kingdom Come./ I’m so focused on your future,/ The degradation has passed/ I wish you wealth, health, and insight/ forever young you may pass./ Blue Ivy Carter, my angel.”
