  • Incorporating the Critical: Environmental Art's Vitality
    INCORPORATING THE CRITICAL: ENVIRONMENTAL ART’S VITALITY IN LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE by ALLEN PRATT (Under the Direction of Katherine Melcher) ABSTRACT The realms of art and landscape architecture are inherently in a state of overlap, juxtaposition, and reference of one another. This suggests art’s importance in the development and understanding of landscape architecture. This thesis examined environmental art’s potential to be used as an explorative design process to generate new ideas and perspectives. It used a series of environmental art case studies, including the author’s own installation in the Founders Memorial Garden, to investigate environmental art’s value to the study and practice of contemporary landscape architecture. This study revealed that the boundaries between the spatial disciplines of art, architecture, and landscape architecture are artificial and that these boundaries can be dissolved in practice. It concluded that environmental art possesses the ability to alter perceptions of space and place, generate new ideas and perspectives, and enhance the human condition to address issues of site, sight, and insight. INDEX WORDS: landscape architecture, environmental art, land art, contemporary art, site- specific art, Monet, El Lissitzky, The Garden of the Lost Steps, Mirror Lab, Tree Drawings, Red Ball Project, Founders Memorial Garden, adaptive design, integrative design, design research INCORPORATING THE CRITICAL: ENVIRONMENTAL ART’S VITALITY IN LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE by ALLEN PRATT Bachelor of Architecture, University

It is a 15-foot, in- flated sphere that weighs 250 pounds and is always cloaked in red PVC fabric. It is Redball, the world famous sculptural installation by New York based artist Kurt Perschke. Since 2001, RedBall has thrown caution to the wind and traveled across the globe, adopting cities as its canvas. Squeezed between buildings and underpasses, lifted up in town squares, and hoisted above bridges, RedBall explores the unique architectural landscape and history of each city it finds itself in. Examples include Toronto, Sydney, Barcelona, and St. Louis where RedBall’s expedition began following an urban site commission by the organization Arts in Transit. Perschke is also in the habit of documenting RedBall’s trips to every city with the most thrilling short films usually direct- ed by Tony Gaddis of the U.S.

  • Press Release for Immediate Diffusion
    Press release For immediate diffusion Les Escales Improbables de Montréal present RedBall Montréal From August 31 to September 6, 2014 Montreal, August 5, 2014 – RedBall Project comes to Montreal at last, after visiting 11 countries and 18 cities since 2001 such as Paris, London, Chicago, Toronto and Sydney. RedBall, by Kurt Perschke (New York), is the world’s longest-running street art work.1 RedBall Montréal will invade 7 different locations over 7 days exploring with insight and wit the unique qualities of Montreal’s architecture and urban space. Through its monumental yet playful presence, RedBall reinvents familiar spaces and sheds light in places that, owing to habit, the citygoer no longer perceives. This artistic experiment activates collective imagination through sensory and visual experimentation. Using the architectural, historical and cultural particularities of the city as an opportunity, RedBall Montréal moves through iconic, unlikely, busy and historic locations in Montreal to create a once-in-a-lifetime performance. RedBall Abu Dhabi RedBall Paris « Through the RedBall Project I utilize my opportunity as an artist to be a catalyst for new encounters within the everyday. Through the magnetic, playful, and charismatic nature of the RedBall the work is able to access the imagination embedded in all of us. On the surface, the experience seems to be about the ball itself as an object, but the true power of the project is what it can create for those who experience it. [...] That invitation to engage, to collectively imagine, is the true essence of the RedBall Project. The larger arc of the project is how each city responds to that invitation and, over time, what the developing story reveals about our individual and cultural imagination.
