Natural Intersections by Patricia Van Dalen, The Kampong Botanical Garden, Miami 2014
The latest art installation by Patricia Van Dalen, conceived especially for The Kampong and based on the travels made by David Fairchild in search of edible, medicinal and ornamental plants.
Natural Intersections is a work of art that I have conceived especially for The Kampong. It is based on the travels made by David Fairchild in search of edible, medicinal and ornamental plants, which would be useful for the inhabitants of the United States. These travels had diverse destinations, to different continents, and were conducted at various times of his life. Over 100,000 botanical introductions resulted from these explorations. I want to present in a visual way, the complex network of trajectories that these trips involved and evidentiate the multiplicity of these directions. Orange, pink and green are the chosen colors for the composition. Vinyl and plastic are the materials. Wind and light produce the movement and the sparkle. By using contemporary man-made elements, designed for marking, I wish to point out that many of Fairchild's horticultural introductions became part of the industrial world. Immersed in the relationship between organic and industrial, this drawing on grass intends to add meanings to this exotic place. It has been a privilege for me to create this site-specific installation in the same garden of the house he built for his family in 1928. Through my installation, I hope to make the visitors aware of the amazing task this scientist engaged in on behalf of his country. Patricia Van Dalen, 2014

Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden in Miami - must visit!
Fairchild gets its name from one of the most famous plant explorers in history, David Fairchild (1869-1954). Dr. Fairchild was known for traveling the world in search of useful plants, but he was also an educator and a renowned scientist. At the age of 22, he created the Section of Foreign Seed and Plant Introduction of the United States Department of Agriculture, and for the next 37 years, he traveled the world in search of plants of potential use to the American people. Fairchild visited every continent in the world (except Antarctica) and brought back hundreds of important plants, including mangos, alfalfa, nectarines, dates, cotton, soybeans, bamboos and the flowering cherry trees that grace Washington D.C.
Thomas Bayrle - Institute of Contemporary Art Miami
ICA Miami for Miami Art Week, celebrated the first U.S. museum presentation dedicated to renowned German artist Thomas Bayrle. The exhibition, “One Day on Success Street,” traced Bayrle’s profound observations of human civilization–particularly through developments in technology and our environments–over the course of his nearly 50-year career and across a range of mediums, including a monumental site-specific installation in ICA’s Atrium Gallery.
Miami - Sightseeing: City Loop
Visit Miami / Miami Beach (Pictures and Videos):
(where you can find all information, vídeos, pics, ...)
Miami City Sights
The City Loop departs from Central Station and takes you to see all the most alluring districts of mainland Miami: Coconut Grove, Coral Gables, Little Havana and the grandeur of Downtown Miami.
Millionaires' Row, Venetian Pool, the Biltmore Hotel, Freedom Tower, the County Courthouse and Vizcaya Museum... all this and more awaits you as you as you explore the City Loop.
Downtown
As you pass through Downtown Miami, look down from the bus and you will see the smaller Cuban-owned businesses -- evidence of Miami's status as the capital city of US Latin culture; look up and you'll see the great American metropolis -- Miami at its most 'Anglo'. The contrasting mix of the two epitomizes the dual function of this unique city.
Bicentennial Park stretches out towards the bay; the American Airlines arena -- home to the Miami Heat NBA team -- stands proud beside it; marvel at the Freedom Tower then cast your eye out across the vast marina.
Little Havana
Situated immediately to the West of downtown Miami, Little Havana has been home to a significant proportion of Miami's vibrant community of Cuban immigrants since the 1960s.
You may be lucky enough to catch one of the Viernes Culturales -- a festival of arts, culture and entertainment held on the last Friday of each month. Otherwise just soak up the atmosphere on the famous Calle Ocho or take a stroll down the Walkway of the Stars, where Latin personalities such as Gloria Estefan, Willy Chirino and Celia Cruz are all honoured and commemorated.
Little Havana - La Pequeña Habana to the Spanish-speakers - is famous for its colourful stores, superb restaurants and exclusive art galleries.
Coconut Grove
The first wave of immigration to the area saw the establishment of Coconut Grove as a settlement in 1825, even before Miami -- the city that has now absorbed it -- existed; and something of the pioneer spirit still remains in the arty, eccentric and gently rebellious elements within the area.
Large parts of Coconut Grove have streets filled with lush greenery as the name suggests, but there are also two sizeable shopping centres in the central area.
The magnificent Kampong botanical garden is well worth a visit, as is the Villa Vizcaya, James Deering's grandiose recreation of a sixteenth-century Italian villa.
Coral Gables
Coral Gables, the self-styled 'City Beautiful', occupies an area to the south-west of downtown Miami, which was developed during the Florida land boom of the 1920s and is home to the University of Miami. Many of the original landmarks of the area still survive: the Merrick House, City Hall, the Miracle Mile and others.
The Biltmore Hotel, a famous TV and movie location, was once the tallest building in Florida and now designated as a National Historic Landmark; and the Venetian Pool, created in 1923 from a disused coral rock quarry, is the largest freshwater swimming pool in the United States.
Freedom Tower
Originally built in 1925 to house the Miami Times newspaper, Freedom Tower was designed by the same architects that laid the plans for New York's Grand Central Station.
As a replica of the Giralda bell tower in Seville, the tower's shape does not lend itself well to occupation as office space; however, during the period from 1961 to 1974 it served as a processing post for over 360,000 Cuban refugees, and also as a community centre for those same immigrants, for which reason it retains an important place in local affections.
Vizcaya Museum and Gardens
You cannot adequately prepare yourself for the extravagant opulence of the Villa Vizcaya. In 1914, Farm Machinery mogul James Deering began a two-year, $22 million project to recreate a sixteenth-century Italian villa, and this is the result.
One thousand workers were involved in the construction of Villa Vizcaya -- one tenth of the then population of Miami!
Thirty permanent staff took care of Deering and his guests during the four-month winter period that he would spend in Miami, away from his home city of Chicago. Each room is filled with classical, Renaissance and Rococo antiques, yet mod cons such as elevators, fire sprinklers and a telephone switchboard were all installed, as well as en suite bathrooms for each of the many bedrooms.
Venetian Pool
Venetian Pool was once a quarry pit from which coral rock was extracted for the local buildings, but was transformed in 1924 from an eyesore to an elegant ornamental swimming pool, said to be the largest on the US mainland.

Acara ini untuk memeriahkan pameran lukisan tunggal oleh pelukis/seniwati asal Indonesia yang bernama Ratu Adil. Pameran ini adalah pameran tunggal pertama Ratu Adil di Amerika Serikat.

Pameran ini berjudul Places I called Home, menggambarkan beberapa tempat-tempat yang pernah ditinggali oleh Ratu Adil baik di Indonesia maupun di Amerika Serikat.

Palmetto Bay, Florida - Deering Estate (2019)
Charles Deering Estate (also known as Deering Estate at Cutler) was the Florida home of Charles Deering until 1927 when he died at the estate.
Deering lived on the 444 acres (1.80 km2) property for five years, from 1922 to 1927. The property consists of a three-story wooden house built in 1900, known as the Richmond Cottage, and a three-story stone mansion. Other buildings were also built on the property to serve as auxiliary buildings to the estate. Charles Deering Estate is located in the Cutler neighborhood of Palmetto Bay, Florida.
The grounds include what is thought to be the largest virgin coastal tropical hardwood hammock in the continental United States. The estate was acquired by the state of Florida in 1985.
The house and grounds were featured several times in the 1980s TV series Miami Vice and it was the starting line for The Amazing Race All-Stars in 2007.
Florida Travel: Welcome to The Barnacle Historic State Park, Coconut Grove
Just 15 minutes from South Beach and 10 minutes from Downtown Miami, Coconut Grove is known as one of the hippest, most energetic, most inviting corners of South Florida, but it also hides a secret from the past. Follow a narrow path through the hardwood hammocks and you'll come across The Barnacle Historic State Park located on the shores of Biscayne Bay. The historic state park was once home to Ralph Middleton Munroe, who preserved the forest on his land and, as a result, the property contains many large, old trees. Learn more here:
