BOOKS / MURDER AND THE DOG
Marc Schmidt uses the simplest of tools — his iPhone camera and transportation by bicycle — to create photographs composing a poignant visual essay of Miami’s inner city and its denizens, reflecting the zeitgeist of the postmodern world. He was born in Chicago and raised in Hamburg, Germany. A physician by training, his love affair with photography started in his teen years when he began documenting street scenes in Hamburg.
ARCHITECTURE / RENE GONZALEZ
Rene Gonzalez is a leading force in architecture today. The New York Times affirms: "Mr. Gonzalez, who has lately emerged as one of Miami's most influential young architects, is known for the modernist rigor and simpliciy of his work but also for his imaginative use of materials."
Born in Cuba and raised in Miami, Mr. Gonzalez studied architecture at the University of California, LOs Angeles. Hw worked under Richard Meier in the Gety Museum. Art is an integral part of hs work. He say: Architecture is not an art, but it has poetic resonance.
