These gardens, though only mock-ups, are hanging on around town. I will look for them, during my travels; looks like Brickell area.

These hanging vertical elements, designed with plant-artist Patrick Blanc, …, and horticulturalists Michael Davenport from Fairchild Tropical Garden and Jeff Shimonski …, will contribute significantly to the identity of the museum.

A.D. Barnes Park

A.D. Barnes Park is a 65-acre park nestled in the heart of one of Miami’s busiest areas. The park is dedicated to and named after the first Director of the Parks and Recreation Department, who strongly believed recreation was important to the lives of every citizen in Miami-Dade County. Since its opening in 1977, the park has integrated activities that serve people with disabilities into its programming.

The park is home to The Sense of Wonder Nature Center and Trail set within one of the few remaining Pine Rocklands in Miami-Dade County. As a result, it has become an “oasis” for migrating birds and, according to the National Audubon Society, is one of the best places to see birds in Miami. The Nature Center is also home to the Miami-Dade Fire Department’s Anti-Venom unit’s reptile collection. Whether it is snakes, birds, swimming, or just a day enjoying a sun drenched picnic, A.D. Barnes Park offers something for everyone!

Artists Mapping Miami – A Roundtable Discussion

Wednesday, March 30, 2011 at 7 pm

Vizcaya Museum and Gardens
3251 South Miami Avenue

Miami, FL  33129

 

Visitors are invited to explore the Main House with Ernesto Oroza’s map from 6 – 7 pm.

 

Miami is a city in constant flux, whose landscape is redefined every few years. In the context of Archetype Vizcaya, this roundtable invites several
artists to present and discuss with the public their current projects on Miami and its shifting geographies.

 

Participants include Kevin Arrow, Adler Guerrier, Nicolas Lobo, Gean Moreno, Ernesto Oroza, Dinorah de Jesús Rodriguez, Lara Stein Pardo and Cesar Trasobares.  Moderator: Flamina Gennari-Santori, Vizcaya’s Deputy Director for Collections and Curatorial Affairs

Tickets $5; free for Members, Seniors and Students with ID.

Archetype Vizcaya explores what happens when things are taken from their original context and given new purpose and meaning. Ernesto Oroza has created a “map” that invites visitors to discover things generally unseen. Through a provisional gallery on plexiglass, he challenges us to question what is original or authentic. And, in a compilation of amateur videos from the Web, Oroza shows how Vizcaya is “used” or appropriated by its visitors.

Archetype Vizcaya is on view through May 29, 2011.
