ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION FROM: SUBJECT: Adopt the Resolution. BACKGROUND In the fall of 2005, with direction from the City Administration, the Art in Public Places (AiPP) Committee embarked on commissioning an internationally recognized artist that would create an original work of art in conjunction with the re-design and renovation of South Pointe Park. The objective was to commission work that would be monumental in scale within the project budget of $500,000. AiPP had been advised by the Administration that they had a short timeline to select an artist for the Project, as design for the park project was being fast tracked in order to commence construction in 2006. The AiPP reviewed the various options in the City's AiPP Ordinance (as codified in Chapter 82, Articles VII, Divisions 1 through 4, Section 82-612) and unanimously voted to select an artist following "direct selection" procedures. The primary reason for "direct selection" was to meet the design and construction schedules set by the City. On November 4, 2005, the AiPP Committee met and short listed the following seven artists: Jonathan Borofsky, Teresita Fernandez, Sol LeWitt, Inigo Manglano-Ovalle, Jorge Pardo, Jaume Plensa, and Kiki Smith. Subsequently, the members of AiPP reviewed the resumes of the seven artists focusing on: solo exhibitions, group exhibitions, public collections and public commissions. The Committee also sought an artist with an international reputation, that had completed public art projects and that could work within the $500,000 project budget. Commission Memorandum - "Drift" Apri/11, 2006 Page 2 of6 At the December 8, 2005 meeting, George Hargreaves, Hargreaves Associates (the City's Architecture and Engineering consultant for the South Pointe Park Project) explained to the AiPP Committee his vision for the Park, and recommended artists from the shortlist he felt were best suited for the project. Also in attendance at the meeting was Nury Menicucci, Project Manager, Capital Improvement Projects Office. At the meeting the AiPP members reviewed all the pertinent information regarding the seven artists and unanimously recommended in favor of allowing two artists, Inigo Manglano-Ovalle and Jorge Pardo, to fully develop and present a complete proposal for South Pointe Park. These two artists were recommended based on the requirements established by the AiPP Committee that the artist have an international reputation, had completed public projects, could work within the $500,000 budget and would enter a competition to create an original work. (Teresita Fernandez was not available to work on a project during the proposed timetable. Jonathan Borofsky would not work with a budget of $500,000. Sol LeWitt would not create an original work of art, and Jaume Plensa and Kiki Smith would not enter a competition). The two finalists, Inigo Manglano-Ovalle and Jorge Pardo, entered into agreements with the City of Miami Beach to develop and submit a proposal for a work of art for South Pointe Park by February 17, 2006. The artists were paid a fixed fee of five thousand dollars ($5,000) and in exchange submitted the following to the City: . A Proposal Narrative describing the Artist's design intent and drawings, graphic or other visual representation of the Work, together with such other data and graphic material as is necessary to portray the Work, Site preparation, permit the City to assess its feasibility, and its compliance with applicable statutes and ordinances. . A Preliminary Budget outlining probable construction costs for the fabrication, delivery, Site preparation and installation of the Work. The Budget had to include applicable headings for all work to be performed by the Artist and any work to be subcontracted by the Artist, as well as any specialty items such as mock-up samples and models anticipated by the Artist to be part of the costs to fabricate and install the Work. . The City's allotted budget for the Work could not exceed $500,000, which total is all- inclusive of fees and expenses, including, but not limited to: (1) the Artist's fee and general overhead and operating costs, including any related travel expenses, from design through installation; (2) preparation of construction documents; (3) models, maquettes and/or material samples; (4) subcontracted professional design or engineering services; (5) subcontracted specialty manufacturing or trade services; (6) insurance; (7) permits; (8) surety bonds; (9) miscellaneous appurtenances (e.g. lighting enhancements for the Work); (10) taxes; and (11) a contingency allowance of no less than 2% of the total construction budget. The Art in Public Places (AiPP) Committee requested that the Artist's Proposal include, at a minimum the following: 1. A presentation of the conceptual aspect of the Work 2. Sketch/drawings from various perspectives in-site and to scale 3. Maquette of the proposed Work 4. Detailed description of the proposed materials to be used including their durability and maintenance Commission Memorandum - "Drift" Apri/11, 2006 Page 3 0'6 As part of the fixed fee, the Artists were required to travel to Miami Beach to give personal presentations of the proposed Work, at the meeting of the AiPP Committee on February 23, 2006. On February 23, 2006, artists Inigo Manglano-Ovalle and Jorge Pardo each gave a thirty minute presentation to AiPP and discussed their proposal for South Pointe Park. The presentations included the aforestated requirements. PROPOSALS li'iigo Manglano-Ovalle: "Drift" (The following description of the project is taken from Mr. Ifligo Manglano-Ovalle's proposal.) The "Drift" is a large-scale sculpture for the West Palm Lawns at South Point Park and is an elegant reproduction of an artic iceberg based on scientific data of an actual phenomenon, sculpted in gleaming white marble with steel interior structure. The topographical data on the iceberg was created by the Canadian Hydraulics Center, of the Canadian National Research Council. The Canadian Hydraulic Center is the only scientific group to scan iceberg topography both above and below the ocean surface. The size and scale of the proposed sculpture is determined by the site, large enough to be visible from a distance, but intimate enough to generate individual contemplation. The sheared wall of the sculpture faces southwest so that the light from the sunset over Biscayne Bay rakes its face. It is intended that the viewer understands the work as phenomena in its right. The viewer experiences the sculpture from the smooth backside first, the subtle waterline giving the optical illusion of the tilt. As the viewer tries to comprehend the sculpture and walks around it, they physically experience the sheared wall looming over them. The viewer can imagine the iceberg adrift in the currents of the Atlantic Ocean, being pushed by the wind into Government Cut and finally coming to rest on the shore of Biscayne Bay in South Pointe Park. The artwork is intended to coexist as architecture, art and landscape. Jorge Pardo: "Mosquito Arbor" (The following description of the project is taken from Mr. Jorge Pardo's proposal.) The "Mosquito Arbor" would be an arbor constructed of plywood for the West Palm Lawns at South Point Park in the obvious image of the mosquito, which is the carrier of pathogens that bring diseases. In this case, the mosquito is in cahoots with the structure of a trellis or an arbor. The size of the arbor would be 92 feet by 92 feet with an estimated height of approximately 11 feet. Historically, things that fly have been used to inspire buildings - an example being the TW A building at JFK designed by Saaranin. It is interesting to Jorge Pardo that within the tradition of abstraction one very regularly runs up against this antagonism directed to images of nature. Jorge Pardo is not, per se, interested in the natural as an idealized structuring element but rather how images of animals or insects and plants can be used to instrumentalize engagement in a more disorderly and direct way. In this application the image of the mosquito is arbitrary. It is Jorge Pardo's interest that this work defines through the circulation of the pastoral and recreational (park experience) how people consume, develop, and finally make a civic image of something as arbitrary as the pesky mosquito of South Florida. Commission Memorandum - "Drift" Apri/11, 2006 Page 4 of6 Following the presentations, AiPP Committee members were given an opportunity to ask the artists questions regarding their proposals. The committee ultimately voted 6-1 in favor of awarding the South Pointe Park public art commission to Inigo Manglano-Ovalle for the proposed work of art entitled "Drift". The Committee felt this project will visually enhance the community, and by using the latest scientific and industrial technology, capture these ephemeral and natural phenomena to become a symbol of the City's connection to the complex global climate, as well as become an iconic image of Miami Beach and the South Pointe community. The one dissenting vote was Diane Star Heller who was not in favor of either project and wanted to start a new competitive process. A projected time-line going forward on the project would be as follows: . City Commission (Referral to Neighborhoods/Community Affairs Committee) - March 8, 2006 . Neighborhoods/Community Affairs Committee - March 22, 2006 . City Commission approval for award - April 11, 2006 . Unveiling of project to the community - April 21,2006 . DRB - May 2, 2006 NEIGHBORHOODS/COMMUNITY AFFAIRS COMMITTEE On March 22, 2006 the Neighborhood/Community Affairs Committee met and unanimously passed a motion accepting the Art in Public Places Committee's recommendation selecting a public art commission for South Pointe Park entitled "Drift" and for award of a contract in the amount of $500,000 to Artist Inigo Manglano-Ovalle. The Committee did require that the artist Inigo Manglano-Ovalle provide the City of Miami Beach a sample of the treated marble in order to test for possible graffiti and maintenance concerns. The Artist and Colin Franzen the architect from Skidmore-Owens-Merrill, who is preparing the engineering component of the "Drift", were contacted and will send a sample to the City for testing.
