From Frida’s Garden to The Dali’s Garden
Inspired by the native plants and cultural elements of Frida Kahlo’s garden in Mexico City, Museum staff and volunteers created a colorful homage to Frida and her botanic sanctuary in our own backyard. In conjunction with the current exhibit, Frida Kahlo at The Dali, panelists discuss Frida’s celebrated garden at her life-long home at Casa Azul. Also they discuss the process of transforming part of The Dali Museum’s Avant-garden into a vibrant tribute to Frida’s garden, capturing her deep cultural connection with nature.
Panelists include Curator of Education Peter Tush, Director of Security Dave Portilia, Groundskeepers Gus Vargas and Nicole Matwijczyk and Joan Henniger from Log Cabin Garden Center.

The time for big brands to get strategic about marketing their apps is now. Mobile apps are no longer standalone entities for big brands. What we’re now seeing is brands integrating mobile apps into their business models and their overall marketing strategies -- to build closer customer relationships and drive business.
It’s no longer enough for brands to just have an app (or a suite of apps) and promote it through traditional channels. Now that brands recognize the impact mobile apps are having on business, their focus is shifting to employ a strategic marketing approach to their apps.
All this means that big brands are starting to treat their apps as more than just another channel – they’re treating them as a business. And they’re getting serious about marketing their apps, by putting the marketing resources behind them and incorporating apps as part of their ongoing strategy.
Top-tier brands like Coca Cola®, Sephora®, Wal-Mart®, and many more are all publically talking about the central role apps play in their marketing strategy. Here, we’ll describe what some of those brands are doing, how they’re doing it, and outline 10 strategic moves brands are employing to get more strategic about their mobile apps.
Twelve months of research, 1000+ cups of coffee, and probably an entire forest worth of Post-its (don’t worry—we recycle). That’s what it took for us to compile our Trends 2017 report, which offers an in-depth look at the eight most important developments we believe will influence and impact design and innovation for business, government and society in the coming year.

This booklet investigates the history and symbolism of orchids as connected to imperialism, sexuality, and the environment. The writing mixes history, theory, and memoir. In England during the 19th century emerged a mania for orchids called Orchidelirium linked to the need to possess the “other” taking from newly “discovered” countries. Drawing connections between the exoticism of the plant as related to colonialism, orientalism, the book addresses the current moment as related to yellow peril and climate change. This booklet is in connection to a solo live performance of the same title.
Gardening with native plants, especially for Oregon gardeners, with tips on why we garden with natives, some garden examples and approaches, and recommended plants for various kinds of gardens.

Coffee with a Curator - Father Robert Keffer: "Go to the Desert, Go to the Devil"
Coffee with a Curator is a focused, theme-oriented presentation on a variety of Dali-related topics. The talk is presented by one of The Dali Museum’s Curatorial/Education team or an invited speaker.
Go To the Desert; Go to the Devil:
The Temptation of St. Anthony and the Desert Experience in the Art of Salvador Dali
Father Robert Keffer discusses the “Desert Experience of Conversion.” Using three paintings by Salvador Dali as reference, he explores the connection between the classical definition of spiritual temptation as found in the writings of the Church fathers, and their relevancy to the Freudian visual self-analysis found in Dali’s early surrealist works. Fr. Keffer will compare the conversion experience to Dali’s own development as an artist in the painting The Temptation of St. Anthony, later expressed in the classical mystical work The Ascension. This Coffee with a Curator presentation will be of interest not only to artists, but to theology and psychology students as well.

Coffee with a Curator - Peter Tush: “Dali, Sculpture and the Surrealist Object”
June 7, 2017
Coffee with a Curator is a focused, theme-oriented presentation on a variety of Dali-related topics. The talk is presented by one of The Dali Museum’s Curatorial/Education team or an invited speaker.
Dali, Sculpture and the Surrealist Object
In response to the current Eduardo Chillida exhibition, this talk examines the Surrealist Object, Surrealism’s anti-sculptural project that preceded Chillida’s generation and its approach to sculpture. Curator of Education Peter Tush will explore the wildly inventive and symbolic approach the surrealists brought to their construction of three dimensional objects. The concept of the Surrealist Object was developed over time by various figures including Surrealist leader André Breton, Alberto Giacometti and Salvador Dali. The Surrealist Object was a new form of sculpture using assemblage to reconfigured mass-produced objects. They sought to create symbolic objects that could address the creator’s desires and enable access to the unconscious. Surrealist Objects were deliberately anti-aesthetic, poetic, and often designed to provoke the viewer. Artists discussed include Marcel Duchamp, Giacometti, Dali, Meret Oppenheim, Joan Miro and others.

51. Often wearing flowers and
using them in her paintings
as a celebration of her
national heritage, their
symbolism of fertility and
fecundity was also pertinent
to Kahlo who was unable to
have children herself as a
result of the accident in her
teenage years.

53. Long before it became
poinsettia, or Euphorbia
pulcherrima, the plant
with flaming red foliage
was called cuetlaxochitl
by the Aztecs. This is
Mexico’s plant.
The flowers in Frida’s
hair are Poinsettias.

84. grotto + the "living wall"
grotto – "a small
picturesque cave,
especially an artificial one
in a park or garden.”
A grotto is any type of
cave that is associated
with use by humans, often
a small cave near water.
85. With our museum, the
grotto is where you leave
the familiar everyday
world and enter the world
of dalí.
Ours is filled with
cavernous shade,
fabulous plants and
pooling water.

89. Bromeliads are a flowering
plant native to the tropics and
subtropics of America.
This species is so diverse it
ranges from desert succulents
to pine apples.
They represent the New World

93. In the 16th century,
Ponce de Leon sought
the legendary
Fountain of Youth
throughout Florida,
looking to the New
World to for
replenishment.
94. Inspired by the story,
St. Pete’s great
benefactor, Edwin H.
Tomlinson, built a pier
at Demen’s Landing in
1900. At the entrance
to the pier he dug an
artesian well and
called it the Fountain
of Youth. It became a
major tourist attraction
for many years.
95. Metaphorically, Dalí parallels
Ponce de Leon. Considering
himself an explorer and a
savior of modern art, he
sought to revitalize the World
of Art by restoring art’s vigor
through his dreamlike
images and realistic
representation.

113. succulent math
Not only are
succulents and
cactuses a common
icon in Kahlo’s work,
but they also express
the Fibonacci
Sequence.
115. phi + pi
Phi and Pi are ratios
defined by a geometric
construction.
Pi is the ratio of the
circumference of a circle to
its diameter.
Phi is the ratio of the line
segments that result when a
line is divided in one very
special and unique way.
116. The golden spiral
can be found in
the central pavers
of the courtyard

117. Another irrational number, Pi, can be
found in the south pavers.
The relation of the circumference to
the diameter of every circle is the
same, approximately 3.14 or as 22/7.
Pi is essential to descriptions of
motion and mechanics and has
applications in everyday life.

Mayor and the people of
Cadaques, Spain.
It is the centerpiece of the
East Garden.

121. dalí’s cap de creus
This stone represents the stony landscape seen in so many of Dalí’s work. The intense
identification that Dalí makes with the rocks of his homeland- using them as self portraits in many
works - goes beyond a mere fascination with their form. As the mayor of Cadaqués told us, we
now have the actual presence of Catalonia in our garden.
122. limestone vs. pigmatite
Limestone is a sedimentary rock, composed mainly of skeletal fragments of marine organisms. It
is extremely soft and will degrade over time; pegmatite is a holocrystalline, intrusive igneous rock
like granite composed of composed of quartz, feldspar and mica, and extremely hard to break.
123. dualities
Dalí spoke of the hard and the soft. Limestone is fragile and
breaks easily; pigmatite is incredibly hard and difficult to break
124. Catalonia and Florida are joined in the Avant-garden by the mined
limestone perimeter quarried from Lake Okeechobee and the shorey stone
of Dalí’s home.

127. Gialanella used CorTEN steel, a special alloy that forms a thin
oxidized patina that protects the material from corrosion.
He designed around the principle of parallax, featuring a series of
parallel profile plates, so that the appearance of the sculpture
changes, based on the vantage point of the viewer.
Tampa Steel & Supply sponsored this surreal installation, as part of
its service to the Tampa Bay region, which began in 1983.

134. unicursal
A labyrinth is a type of maze, distinct from other mazes because
it is “unicursal,” consisting of a curve that is closed and can be
drawn in a single movement (no wrong turns).
135. In days of old, intellectuals
would walk the labyrinth lost
in thought assured that they
would not get lost in its
logical layout.
Because the labyrinth has no
false turns, disillusions, or
trickery, it is a perfectly
formed trail articulated to
allow reflection and clear
thinking.

137. Crushed limestone leads
through the podocarpus
hedges. The path leads to the
center marked by the tallest
cypress tree on the ground.
The cypress tree is a symbol
of welcoming in
Mediterranean cultures as its
regular planning
demonstrates human intent.

143. Romanesco Cauliflower is the
ultimate math vegetable. Its
pattern is a natural representation
of the Fibonacci / Golden Spiral.
It has logarithmic spirals where
every quarter turn is farther from
the original by a factor of Phi - the
golden ratio.

150. Poinsettia
Long before it became
poinsettia, or Euphorbia
pulcherrima, the plant
with flaming red foliage
was called cuetlaxochitl
by the Aztecs. This is
Mexico’s plant. We’re just
very fortunate that we
get to enjoy it so much.
The flowers in Frida’s hair
are safely assumed as
Poinsettias.
151. Dionysus Introduces to the Avant Garden
The entrance to the museum is made up of elements that embrace chaos and
enable the spell-binding mindset embraced in Dalí’s World. A world of refined
chaos and splendor.
This part of the Garden is a reflection of Dionysus, the Greek God of chaos and
the irrational. Dionysus guides us into a world of wonder, helping us dance with
our emotions and instincts into the dream world of Dalí.
Elements of Mythology, legend, and actual living walls welcome us into Dionysus’
irrational divine.
152. Earth Friendly Inside the Building and Out!
· We reclaim all of the condensation from our air
handlers. It is stored in a holding tank on the first floor
and then re-pumped up to the cooling towers. This is
part of our cooling process for the building. It saves us
thousands of gallons of water every year in our cooling
needs.
153. Earth Friendly Inside the Building and Out!
· Rather than using a standard large scale
commercial ice maker we use a water cooled one. This
greatly reduces the amount of heat transmitted from the
machine which in turn reduces our needs of cooling that
area. When the ice machine is through using the cold
water supplied to it that water becomes waste. We have
reclaimed that water as well to be stored in the same
holding tank as the condensate water. It is also reused in
the cooling tower.
154. Earth Friendly Inside the Building and Out!
· The hot water for all of the public restrooms is
heated with a domestic solar water heater. Reduction in
the use of electricity or natural gas to heat water.
155. Earth Friendly Inside the Building and Out!
· · We utilize building automation to control
the use of HVAC needs and lighting by way of scheduling
the reduction of lighting and heating/cooling spaces not
needing it in the unused times of the museum.

· The concrete walls are 18" thick plus a mixture of
fiberglass and sprayed foam to insulate the building from
the harsh Florida heat.

· The enigma glass is 1-1/2" thick and has UV
coatings to reduce heat transmission while still allowing
a significant amount of light to pass through.

· We use low flow flush valves and faucets in the
restrooms. Reduction of wasted water.

Fun fact!
180. While Apollo and Dionysus are often understood as opposing
forces, they are always seen as complementary when
referencing Nature.
The Greeks did not consider the two gods to be opposites or
rivals, for the two deities were entwined by nature.

181. Frida and the Golden Ratio
• Gardens are a consistent theme throughout Frida Kahlo’s work. She valued
the beauty in the possibilities of the natural world, including mathematics.
In her portrait of Alicia Galant (Retrato de Alicia Galant), 1927, Frida
intentionally uses anatomical impossibilities in favor of phi and the golden
mean.
• Notice your eyes follow the sloping of the elongated arm that brings one
from the edges of the painting, inward to the center in a spiral path.
