Restless HeartA local Argentine artist assembles a smashing display at Dot Fiftyone.BazaarBY CARLOS SUAREZ DE JESUS Pancho Luna is no stranger to yanking perfection from the jaws of chaos. The artist often tinkers on multiple series of works at the same time, allowing his cranial crankshaft to intuitively fire the connective rods linking disparate elements of his art.

"I am very restless," the 51-year-old Argentine says. "I usually work on three pieces of art at a time. I have a concept for my works in progress, but sometimes I have to stop because another idea crops up and becomes another dimension I want to pursue.
"Even though sometimes I might seem disorganized or chaotic, I am also a perfectionist."
The result of his cerebral shenanigans is on display in "Bazaar" at Dot Fiftyone Gallery, where Luna's pristine installations and pieces combine to reveal a witty and inventive mind.

Moan at the Moonbecause howling is so not sexy. Popular legend would have you believe people go loony-toons once the full moon rolls around. Truth is, dog bite occurrences do double, but as long as you keep your mitts out of the Alpo, you should be safe. A better way to spend this astrological holiday is at Miami's newest Full Moon Party at the DiLido Beach Club, the only oceanfront restaurant and lounge on South Beach. Surround yourself with the sultry South Beach sky and enter a state of moonlight merriment, sip specially priced cocktails, and dine on a mouthwatering menu of Mediterranean delights prepared by Chef Jeff McInnis, from Top Chef, while a DJ spinning world lounge music captivates you from 6 to 11 p.m.
