CITY of MIAMI: Miami Commissioners should challenge city attorney’s selection of Gomez to do investigation on corruption, just google the man terrible choice for public and Miami taxpayers

ARGUS REPORT: Heard and SEEN ON THE STREET

>>> Eyeball to Eyeball in Ukraine who will blink first, as America seeks diplomatic resolution, with Putin

With the world holding its breath regarding what Russia will do regarding Ukraine and President  Putin’s tight relationship with Chinese Premiere XI, currently holding the Olympics and doing military flights over Taiwan and is considered a rouge province of the Middle Kingdom. If NATO holds firm the world hopes Russia will back down but with the massing of Russian troops on the Ukraine border diplomacy is hoping  to resolve the global problem with nuclear powers.

>>> Miami Commissioners should challenge city attorney’s selection of Gomez to do investigation on corruption, just google the man terrible choice for public and Miami taxpayers

 

The Miami commission needs to grill city attorney Victoria Mendez on  why she picked Ricardo “Ricky” Gomez as the investigative attorney to research the fired police chief’s accusations about commission interference with Miami police and targeting certain individuals. Gomez was the subject of state attorney investigation and ultimately dismissed but a knowledgeable source said what Gomez did was serious and state attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle, demurred charging him. The commission should review the state attorney’s investigation of Gomez and check out these past stories on the man. For there is no way he can investigate the three commissioners, Manolo Reyes, Joe Carollo, and Alex Diaz de la Portilla referenced in the chief’s 8-page memo on city corruption sent to the mayor and F.B.I. For more go to: Doral:https://miami.cbslocal.com/2011/07/16/doral-police-chief-under-corruption-probe/ 

What was Miami Atty. Victoria Menéndez thinking selecting Ricardo “Rickey” Gomez given his controversial history that he claims was politically motivated, but the commission needs to review the investigative file and reason for termination and the state attorney’s office not prosecuting the now defense attorney Gomez, but as one person familiar with the case. The man should have been prosecuted and not exonerated. This the man who is to lead the investigation is totally wrong. If the truth is being sought.

>>> Sham Miami commission investigator Gomez, picked controversial man donated $500. To Carollo campaign, claims no conflict of interest, to Atty.Mendez 

 

What about the City of Miami investigating commission corruption. Miami Attorney Victoria Mendez has selected Ricardo “Rickey” Gomez a fired Doral police chief to do the investigation of commissioner’s interfering  with police officers carrying out vendettas under orders of commissioners, fired police chief Art Acevedo’s asserts in a 8-page memo to the mayor and commission and FBI. 

 

The choice of Gomez a donor to Joe Carollo’s campaign and now a defense attorney, claims there is no conflict of interest and he disclosed it to Mendez who agreed no conflict since it was disclosed but the choice is raising eye-brows and it should and is unacceptable and suggests the attorney could be complicate in not wanting the truth about her employer activities  regardless of the city charter that all requests must be directed to manager Art Noriega.

>>> With the multiple hacks last year cyber security is said to be one of the greatest risks in 2022 from a variety of infrastructure intrusions. 

A senior IT maven and special agent of the F.B.I., years ago told the Greater Miami Chamber luncheon. If “you think you have not been hacked, you just don’t know about it yet,” he stressed. And the bureau has a cyber academy that a variety of organizations can apply too. Further, since this week is Hack Week, Miami. I hope companies are looking for gifted hackers to play defense as the adversaries are global in nature, and congress is debating creating a new academy specifically for IT defense and training and here is the webpage:Cyber Academy Focuses on Private Sector Partnerships — FBI

>>> Sayonara Supt.  Carvalho, after a tearful farewell at I-Prep where he taught, leaving for L.A., 

the other public healthcare at a system that was close to bankruptcy before there leadership. The public schools district had seven days of cash when Carvalho took  the reins after the Great Recession, and he cut underperforming principals and directed early money only to student and performing educators. Migoya working with the unions  collaborated to save the public health system(known as a place patients go to die) because of ageing medical system with an affiliation with the UM medical school since 1951. He also along with Carvalho was able to get county voters to approve a referendum for hundreds of millions in general obligation bonds to  improve the schools and the healthcare systems outdated facilities and Jackson West hospital is a superb example of the new facilities the bond money funded along with the half-cent sales tax dedicated to health system. Both men had earned the support of the community and confidence after years before of scandals that embarrassed local state lawmakers. But they survived the political interference at all  levels  and that is what is needed in their successor. 

 

In Migoya’s case his succession planning is naming his number two Don Steigman. The new president of Jackson Health System (JHS) and CEO Migoya will leave in June next year after county commissioner Sally Heyman negotiated a one-year extension of his contract for another year in June earlier this year. And hopefully the new leadership will continue the progress JHS has made since his appointment in 2009. After Migoya quite as Miami city manager and the banker was a long shot that paid off for the community especially with the pandemic that has 92 percent of  JHS patients presenting with COVID and now the more infectious variant OMICRON . And Baptist Health South Florida is also seeing a surge of patients to the tune of 30 percent of COVID admissions being reported in the media.

 

>>> Cyber-attacks continue against WDR, will History Miami become tech vault for many south Florida bloggers with  tons of internal info in digital form, historical shame if data is lost 

 

You did not get a WDR last week because I was again cyber attacked despite decent security and they wiped out some recent info though most from the past was back upped. After this I had an idea that should appeal to History Miami, though much is still on the web page www.watchdogreport.net . The museum should consider having a digital archive of many of the bloggers in South Florida. For many have a huge number of emails on a variety of topics on what internally is happening in many of the public institutions and can be used by historians in the future after many of the schemes tried or suggested by governments, have gone bad.

>>> The Watchdog Report is back, and readers should stay tuned as your government tries to spend your tax dollars efficiently, but taxpayers need to be vigilant for public dollars are precious and few and must be spent wisely. And on May 5th the Watchdog Report  celebrated its 22nd   Anniversary and consider financially helping me have another year of watching your public institutions. 

 

Further, I have a touch of the Delta virus, sniffles, low  grade fever, fatigue, and lack of taste and smell and getting vaccinated must be South Florida’s goal to end this terrible scourge that is hammering our healthcare systems. Further, young people who liken COVID-19 to getting the flu had better check out what long haulers go through may not resolve itself. I know because I am one of those people with long term impacts and it is not pleasant and while the vaccine mitigates the severity residents must get vaccinated if we are ever getting back to normal. Here are two links on the consequences of covid in the long run and it is not pleasant and more medical studies are ongoing.

COVID ‘Long Haulers’: Long-Term Effects of COVID-19 | Johns Hopkins Medicine

Further, I am doing an investigative story on my time in a nursing home and later an assisted living facility(that state legislators need to look into this before they become patients because it is a flip of the coin in some cases, and what I observed during the month-long time I lived at these two institutions will be written about including medical staff qualifications, that varied in a variety of ways and I am just glad to have left  them  before anything negative happened to me while I was there. Both places were for profit and that was very apparent. 

 

Update: During my month at  a nursing home in Kendall I noticed a number of things. One was a food receipt on the food tray but not the food, but probable still billed to Medicare. And at an assisted living facility in Broward. I was being treated by  people with unknown medical credentials. Further, since February when I had a mild case of COVID, I have rarely gotten a deep sound sleep, which was rare for me.

Miami–Currently on view through April 30, 2022, The Margulies Collection at the Warehouse presents Arta Povera / Postwar Italian Art from the Margulies Collection, a historically significant exhibition of Italy’s highly innovative twentieth-century art movement, as seen through the lens of one of its earliest and most significant American collectors. The exhibition features 18 major works spanning six decades, from the early 1960s through the 2000s by seven of the most prominent artists associated with the group of Italian artists jointly known as “i poveristi”: Alighiero Boetti, Pier Paolo Calzolari, Luciano Fabro, Jannis Kounellis, Giulio Paolini, Michelangelo Pistoletto, and Mario Merz.  
In addition to the powerful and iconic Arte Povera works on view, the exhibition includes didactic materials about the history of the dealers, collectors, gallerists and curators who supported these Italian artists at the critical early stages of their careers. A twenty-minute video plays on a loop, telling the story of the life and times of the influential dealer and collector Christian Stein whose seminal gallery in Turin and Milan nurtured and preserved the early activities and vision of the Arte Povera artists. Additionally, the exhibition includes an array of educational materials that give the viewer an overview of what was happening in Postwar Italian art, most notably the activities of the community of galleries in Turin and the dealer Gian Enzo Sperone, along with a tribute to the late Italian curator Germano Celant who is today considered one of the most influential curators of our times.  
“We wanted to give our audience the backdrop of the social reawakening that defined Italy in the 1960s when Italians began to embrace an identity characterized by industrialization which at the same time paid homage to the country’s rich cultural heritage. It was important to us to explain the context of how this disparate group of artists, living and working in isolation in different regions of Italy rejected the values of established culture and embraced new creative possibilities by confronting longstanding notions of how art could be made and exhibited,” says longtime curator Katherine Hinds who organized the exhibition. “Our mission with our exhibitions at the Warehouse is always educational and we think the Arte Povera exhibition fulfills our mission perfectly by bringing together these influential and important Postwar Italian artists who have never been seen before in this region of the United States.” 

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
Upon entering the Warehouse, visitors first encounter two marble sculptures with a combined weight of two tons by Luciano Fabro. The phase Il giorno mi pesa sulla notte (day weighs on my night in English) is written in lead on a marble fragment which sits on top of a broken marble column resting on glass marbles. The artist says, “These works are born of a kind of observation of the relationship between the cosmos and the image, or between order and image. What intrigues me is that the image of the cosmos is formless at first and gains form only through knowledge. I have often called the state of mind of this everyday sensation ‘Day weighs on my night’.” 
Overhead hangs a rare seminal work from 1960 by Jannis Kounellis. One of a series of mixed media on paper laid down on canvas works that the artist completed in the early 1960s, Kounellis himself considered this work to be the most beautiful in the series. This work along with several others by Kounellis, Mario Merz, Luciano Fabro, and Giulio Paolini were transported from the private collection to the Warehouse especially for the exhibition.
Nearby, a separate room lined in black cloth displays three works that incorporate neon light, electrical current and transformers with a forty-foot work by Mario Merz that includes the Fibonacci series in neon, a mathematical sequence in which every number is the sum of the proceeding two. The neon light marks what Merz described as an “ecstatic act of artistic production”. Adjacent to the Merz are two works by Pier Paolo Calzolari who in addition to neon script, uses a thin layer of ice in his work. Utilizing copper pipes and refrigerating units combined with lead, leather, and a mattress, the artist achieves a dreamlike visual landscape where the frost is “the purest form of white”.   
As Michelangelo Pistoletto puts it, “as far as I am concerned…all forms, materials, ideas and means are available and to be used.” The exhibition continues with two works by Pistoletto which incorporate mirrors. A two-panel work, Two Less One (2009) preceded the famous performance by Pistoletto at the 53rd Venice Biennale where the artist smashed a room lined with mirrors. Nearby a large-scale work by Jannis Kounellis is comprised of steel panels weighing 1,500lbs onto which the artist arranges vintage musical instruments such as a guitar, flute, trombone, trumpet, violin, cello and drum. Below, ten copper pots and pans hang from industrial steel hooks indicative of Kounellis’ artistic practice that incorporates performance, sound, and classical music.   
Additionally, included are works by Alighiero Boetti who explored systems of knowledge, classifications and sequences, including one of the artist’s well-known collaborations with Afghan women working in the Royal School of Needlework in Kabal. Other works by Giulio Paolini and Gilberto Zorio explore pictorial space culling equally from the banalities of everyday life and the rich expanses of art history.  

A STATEMENT FROM THE COLLECTOR
Everybody loves Italy, the most beautiful of all European countries. What makes Italy so interesting to me is the pursuit of the endearing simple pleasures of everyday life combined with a passion for excellence in design, architecture and the arts. Who can resist the lyrical lifestyle of the small villages where one can experience the fantastic cuisine of the trattorias and small cafés, the vibrant and friendly effervescence of day-to-day life of the Italian populous? At the same time there is a love of luxury, a love of the grandeur of high design, an electric atmosphere.   
This is the culture out of which the Arte Povera artists, who worked in isolation from each other, simultaneously developed similar ideas about rejecting the commercialization of luxury goods and rang in a new era of artistic practice that embraced industrialization and everyday materials while paying homage to the country’s rich cultural heritage. The materials used were burlap, plaster, wax, neon, glass, cotton, steel, iron ore, animals, branches, mirrors, common fabric and leather, musical instruments, pots and pans. When the influential Italian critic and curator Germano Celant introduced the term Arte Povera or “poor art” in 1967 he was talking about a group of young artists based in Milan, Genoa, Rome and in particular Turin.
The first gallerists like Christian Stein and Gian Enzo Sperone sold works sporadically to Italian collectors who were buying the works and probably didn’t really know why. The first Arte Povera work I added to the collection was a Kounellis I acquired in 1988 from Ileana Sonnabend. The work had a wonderful vibrancy to it and I began to sense that this was something of significance to pursue for the collection. A 1984 igloo by Mario Merz from the Collection of the late, great collector Gerald Elliot followed. The Merz igloo added such grit and substance to the collection with its neon Fibonacci numbers and drooping wires and wax and glass. In other words, anything goes. And that began a great pleasurable journey to collect Arte Povera which subsequently led me to explore the influence of some of the Italian artists that predated Arte Povera like Manzoni and Fontana. Today I continue my travels to Italy and elsewhere searching anywhere I can to find works from early Italian collections that were put together in the 1960s and 1970s. Today these works are very difficult to come by.
It is with great pleasure that we present this exhibition at my Warehouse in Miami this season. I wish to thank my longtime curator Katherine Hinds and her excellent staff for putting together such a momentous exhibition. Arte Povera has never been exhibited in this part of the United States before. It is our hope that our audience will become inspired to seek out other opportunities to study and visit Arte Povera Collections such as the superb Magazzino by Nancy Olnick & Giorgio Spanu in Cold Spring, just outside New York City, one of the finest collections of its kind and the Ingvild Goetz Collection in Munich Germany that was exhibited in the ground breaking Arte Povera show at Hauser & Wirth in 2017.

COMMENTS FROM THE ARTWORLD ON THE EXHIBITION
 “The Arte Povera installation, like everything else in your ‘Warehouse,’ was extraordinary to see.” 

-Max Hollein, Art Historian and Director of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, NYC
“The time we spent together talking about Jannis Kounellis and your relation (and love) with Arte Povera, is definitely one of the highlights of the whole week and more.” 

-Vincenzo de Bellis, Curator and Associate Director of Programs of Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, MN
“Your collection is an amazing achievement and it is wonderful that you share it with the art community.” 

-Jeffrey Deitch, Art dealer, Curator, and Founder of Deitch Projects, NYC
“I had the most wonderful visit to your collection. It was astonishing to see the Arte Povera exhibition. As always Katherine Hinds and your staff superbly curated and installed the exhibition and provided very informative texts and videos. The exhibition also provides an important context of your outstanding Kiefer collection. Presenting your collection of such historically significant works to the public is a real gift to South Florida as we rarely get to see these works in such depth and in such a monumental scale. I would also like to commend Jeanie Ambrosio on her curation of the New Objective photography exhibition. It’s another important historical exhibition and important contribution to the broader understanding of art in South Florida.” 

-Bonnie Clearwater, Director and Chief Curator of Nova Southeastern University’s Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale
“I wanted to congratulate you on this incredible installation of Arte Povera. To visit your foundation was really one of the highlights of my visit to Miami.”

-Thaddaeus Ropac, Thaddaeus Ropac Galerie, Paris, Salzburg, London
