UNDERGROUNDING
POWERLINES
A Special Taxing District may be created to provide a public improvement
or special service in your neighborhood. Improvements or services include
an extension of the potable water system, installation of street lighting, infrastructure
improvements such as burying powerlines, and security guard houses. The
process is administered by Miami-Dade County and requires a signed
petition by 10% of the property owners desiring the improvement or service.
Upon receipt of the petition, the county verifies the signatures and proceeds
to prepare cost estimates. A public hearing and vote of the affected property
owners is then scheduled. If the majority vote in favor, then the district is established.
The special assessment appears on the property owners’ annual tax bill.
For additional information, please contact the Public Works Department at
305.669.6916 or publicworks@pinecrest-fl.gov.

HIBISCUS GALLERY XAVIER CORTADA
SUMMER SOLSTICE | LONGITUDINAL INSTALLATION PERFORMANCE
Thursday, June 21 from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m.
   Cortada created the Longitudinal Installation in the South Pole in 2007 and in the North Pole in 2008. During both visits, Cortada placed 24 shoes in a circle,
each aligned across 24 longitudes. He stopped in front of each of his longitudinal shoe markers and read a quote aloud that revealed a person’s experience with
climate change from that part of the world. His artistic ritual illustrated how everyone in the world has been profoundly impacted by climate change.
   The South Pole’s Longitudinal Installation has been replicated as a ceramic sculpture on permanent exhibit at Pinecrest Gardens. This participatory art installation
invites visitors to recite the 24 quotes, as Cortada did at both ends of the world.
   To perform the ritual, stand behind the show marked with zero degrees and face the red and white pole as you read the first quote. (You can find the quotes online
at www.longitudinalinstallation.org.) Then, move clockwise, stopping at each marked shoe to read its respective quote. Upon completion, stand just to the left of the
75 degree West shoe (if you live in Florida) and recite a 25th quote: Your own quote!

“LIFE FORMS” BY MICHAEL GRAY
Exhibit runs May 3 through August 3
  Michael Gray‘s Life Forms is a solo show comprised of new works that address the loss of living reef
tissues in Biscayne Bay. This series of monotype prints are a documentation of the current state of the reef
system, which is being threatened by bleaching, disease, destruction, and pollutants exiting through
urban waterways. Though the work depicts a threatened and disappearing environment, the prints are
better understood as documentations of the physical experience Gray had encountered in the particular
environment. Gray uses colorless abstracted form, gesture, repetition and intuitive marks to represent his
anxieties of habitat loss, the degradation of the natural beauty of his home, the disappearance of coral
and the uncertain future of our oceans.
    Gray has worked throughout South Florida documenting areas of refuge such as Everglades National
Park. Each location, as Gray sees it, can be a microcosmic representation of life all over the globe. Life,
death and regrowth are important to all natural cycles, however these unsaturated prints offer a view of a
colorless, dark and capricious world on the verge of extinction.

   Diatoms are water-bound, single-celled symmetrical organisms encapsulated in silica. They harness the power of the sun to convert carbon dioxide into oxygen
and are responsible for generating one-third of the air we breathe.
   Its shell, all that remains from the diatom that lived in the past, is used by scientists today to see what was, as they research crucial environmental issues in the
century to come. Scientists—and artists—can determine the past salinity of water by examining the glass shells of diatoms preserved in sedimentary core samples.
   Each diatom species has a different salinity preference, so changes in the mixture of fresh and sea water (driven by sea level and changes in water management)
can be inferred from past diatom remains.
   Xavier Cortada latest diatom-themed work, “Diatom Court” (2018), is outside the Hibiscus Gallery in
the garden. On Earth Day 2018, it was unveiled as a permanent, site-specific, ceramic installation on the
grounds of Pinecrest Gardens.

“80.15 W”
Exhibit runs August 8 through September 3
   Titled for Biscayne Bay’s longitude, “80.15 W” features the 17 threatened and endangered species
that call Biscayne National Park (in Miami, FL) home. In 2010, Cortada created the drawings on carbon
paper, a metaphor for the impact (or “carbon footprint”) that humans have had on that animal, even
across the boundaries of protected nature preserve. The carbon paper originals were premiered at the
national park’s gallery and are in the permanent collection of Nova Southeastern University Art Museum,
Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
