The Stranger

(ART/BOOK) While Independent Curator Jess Van Nostrand's show at the Aqua Hotel in Miami this week represents members of SOIL Gallery during the art fair/megalopolis Art Basel Miami Beach, her last 20 exhibitions are being celebrated in a cozier way, at Joe Bar, over crepes and wine. Since 2004 at Joe Bar, Van Nostrand has done the hardest job in curating: nosing out talent without a stamp already on it. A tour of her choices—like Alice Tippit, Diem Chau, and Maija Fiebig—is on the walls, and there's even a full-color book out for the occasion. (Joe Bar, 810 E Roy St, 324-0407, free.) by Jen Graves
