I can do without most of the WMC stuff, like the big rave-style shit, which is why I never went even though I went to college in Florida. Buuuut… the “Let the Singers Be Heard” night might make a trip to Miami worth it (bolded for personal emphasis): 

11th Annual And Let The Singer Be Heard @ Ocean’s 10
10 Ocean Drive
12pm-10pm

• $15 / Free with WMC Badge
• Robin S., Ce Ce Rogers, Michael Procter, Kenny Bobien, Darryl D Bonneau, Amrick, Dawn Tallman, Marc Evans, Charlotte Small, Sheila Ford, Yoli, Shannon Renee, David Walker, Melonie Daniels, Rodney Biblical Jones, DJ Spen, Terry Hunter, Todd Terry, DJ Tony

I have wanted to see Marc Evans perform for years. Can I get off work? Do I want to spend all this money when I’m already headed to Florida a different time in March for a wedding shower? Ahh, gotta think it through.

We want to wish a HUGE happy birthday to Jackson Pollock, who was born 100 years ago today.

Jackson Pollock was one of the first American artists to achieve a worldwide reputation, and he became an icon of the abstract expressionist movement. He spent his childhood moving between farming communities in Arizona and Southern California. At 18, he moved to New York, where he studied art and painted for the Works Progress Administration. In 1939, Pollock entered psychoanalysis as treatment for his lifelong alcoholism, and his work of this period was heavily influenced by C.G. Jung’s theory of archetypal collective symbols.

During the late 1940s, Pollock developed a groundbreaking abstract painting technique. He laid his large canvases on the floor and moved around them; rather than brushing on his paint, he poured it directly from the can or flung it in drips and spatters with a brush or stick. The resulting “all-over” paintings were an unmediated trace of his physical actions; they also did away with the artistic conventions of illusionistic depth and distinct figure and ground. Within a few years, however, and perhaps in rebellion against his tremendous critical success, Pollock began to re-introduce symbolic figures into his paintings. His life was perpetually marked by self-destructive behavior; he was killed in a car crash at the age of 44.
