As the local art scene continues its DIY evolution, yet another big-dollar “cultural tourism” project opens, this time in Loch Haven Park. Coming on the heels of the almost-unknown Guitartown project (still stringing out its cultural mission to the tune of Jim Faherty), large-scale metal sculptures by world-renowned sculptor John Raymond Henry take their place in Loch Haven Park this weekend through May. That’s according to plans for the The Peninsula Project, which will see Henry’s monstrous urban installations positioned in seven cities around the state (Miami, Boca Raton, Naples, Sarasota, Tampa, Orlando and Tallahassee). Come on by the park, city dwellers, to take a look at our part of the statewide “tour,” established to attract visitors to the Sunshine State. For an added bonus, Loch Haven gets two pieces by Henry: one in the park, and a smaller piece outside the Orlando Museum of Art. As Henry’s PR agent wrote: “The multi-venue show brings together his colorful, monumental works in such a way that they conceptually interact with one another in a continuum, existing beyond their physicality with a conceptual presence.” An indoor exhibition, Five Decades of Sculpture: A Retrospective, opens Dec. 13 at OMA.

Bruce Bruce (born Bruce Church) is fat, black and Southern, so you’ve heard his jokes before. The former host of BET Comic View so owns his clichés that he was made the spokesperson for Popeyes Chicken. Yet his combination of good timing, wild-eyed delivery and general charm keep his act funny, if not fresh. What was fresh was when we read that he was working “family-friendly material” now. It’s nothing new for an African-American who rose to stardom on a filthy mouth to tone it down as he ages – Eddie Murphy, Martin Lawrence, Ice Cube? This, fortunately, is a mature show, and we hope we’ll still be treated to two of his greatest pieces of wisdom: “Ladies, it is mandatory that you suck dick,” and “Beat your kids.” (with Redbone, Bryan Stone, Shawn Banks, Chello; 8:30 p.m. at Bob Carr Performing Arts Centre; $25-$60; 407-849-2020: www.orlandovenues.net) [more]
