In the meantime, just south of the park, the Art Institute of Chicago has unveiled its summer show, a probing study of the steps gingerly taken by Georges-Pierre Seurat as he assem- bled his masterpiece, A Sunday On La Grande Jatte, 1884.

Millennium Park, he observed, brings to Chicago “a new type of urban landscape -- a rooftop park, which is above a 4,000-car parking garage.” The Seurat exhibit, in Bryan’s words, reaffirms “the centrality of our collection in everything we do” -- which is another way of saying the Art Institute has rearranged its Monets, Renoirs and other crowd-pleas- ing Impressionist paintings into a new show, culminating in Seurat’s monumental pointillist achievement. John Bryan, chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Art Institute of Chicago and Millenium Park, addressed the press at the luncheon preview and told them, “Without you, we run the risk of talking only to ourselves.” The new show does justice to Seurat, an immense- ly talented and ambitious artist who died of diphtheria This is one of the many small studies done by Georges Seurat in at the age of 31. Much of his brief career was spent preparation for his largest painting, Sunday on La Grande Jatte. doing drawings and small paintings of people in the grand Parisian park, and the exhibit shows 40 of these pieces, borrowed from museums all over the world. La Grande Jatte was completed when he was just 25. The painting immediately caused a sensation, in part because its huge size (82 by 121 inches) marked a radical departure from the intimate, small-scale paint- ings of his Impressionist cohorts. Woman and Child at the Well, 1882, is another Pissarro painting of a picturesque country scene. A lone soldier stands on the banks of the River Seine, on a quiet morning in the 19th century Parisian park.

THE Page 4 July 15, 2004 Seurat Continued from Page 3 The new Millennium Park strongly asserts Chicago’s commitment to providing entertainment for the mul- titudes. The newly-designed Jay Pritzker Music Pavilion, between Michigan Boulevard and Columbus Drive, has fixed seating for 4,000 and a Great Lawn area to seat another 7,000. It replaces the Petrillo Music Shell, and is planned to accommodate rock and jazz festivals as well as the traditional symphony. This out- door space is defined by an elegantly arched trellis, which carries the sound equipment without obstruct- ing the view of the stage. The Harris Music and Dance Theatre stands at the north end of the development, on Randolph Street, where it was “shoe-horned into the space,” in the words of Ed Uhlir, city architect and project design director. The Ed Uhlir, city architect and project design director of Millennium Park, landscape plan for a portion of the park has been done stands on a balcony overlooking the Chicago park, following by Kathryn Gustafson, who also designed the Diana his presentation at the Cliffdwellers Club. Princess of Wales Memorial in London. A major gift from the Pritzker family jump-start- ed the project, a multi-million-dollar grant to be awarded “if we could get somebody like Frank Gehry, and at first we were not sure he was interested,” Uhlir explained. One problem to be overcome was the restriction against building permanent structures on the lake side, and another problem was winning the rights to extend the parking garage over the rail- road tracks. Frank Gehry, the acclaimed California-based archi- tect, became intrigued by the prospect of designing a pedestrian bridge, which was something he had not done before. The bridge crosses Columbus Drive and ends up at the music pavilion, which is topped by Gehry’s soaring sculpture of stainless steel panels resem- bling huge petals of flowers. The underground parking lot has been enlarged, and now it also includes a 400-space heated indoor bicy- cle parking facility, complete with lockers, showers, Frank Gehry’s monumental sculpture, with petal-like forms of curving bike repair, and all the amenities encouraging peo- stainless steel, soars above Chicago’s new Millennium Park. ple to ride bikes to work. “Cloud Gate,” a 30-foot-high stainless steel sculpture by Anish Kapoor, stands at the south end of Millennium The Prirzker Music Pavilion, consisting of the Gehry sculpture and a latticework enclosure, Park, on Madison Avenue. also has a stainless steel ribbon extending into a pedestrian bridge over Columbus Drive.

It was designed by British artist Anish Kapoor, and weighs over 100 tons. Also, in memory of Grant Park’s Beaux Arts origins, the Wrigley Square Peristyle was placed at the corner of Randolph and Michigan, replicating the curving row of Greek columns which stood near that spot in 1917. A three-day celebration, free to the public, will officially inaugurate the new city park. It opens on Friday, July 16, with music and dance events culmi- nating in a 7:30 p.m.

  • Masters Thesis
    WHERE IS THE PUBLIC IN PUBLIC ART? A CASE STUDY OF MILLENNIUM PARK A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Corrinn Conard, B.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2008 Masters Examination Committee: Approved by Dr. James Sanders III, Advisor Advisor Professor Malcolm Cochran Graduate Program in Art Education ABSTRACT For centuries, public art has been a popular tool used to celebrate heroes, commemorate historical events, decorate public spaces, inspire citizens, and attract tourists. Public art has been created by the most renowned artists and commissioned by powerful political leaders. But, where is the public in public art? What is the role of that group believed to be the primary client of such public endeavors? How much power does the public have? Should they have? Do they want? In this thesis, I address these and other related questions through a case study of Millennium Park in Chicago. In contrast to other studies on this topic, this thesis focuses on the perspectives and opinions of the public; a group which I have found to be scarcely represented in the literature about public participation in public art. To reveal public opinion, I have conducted a total of 165 surveys at Millennium Park with both Chicago residents and tourists. I have also collected the voices of Chicagoans as I found them in Chicago’s major media source, The Chicago Tribune . The collection of data from my research reveal a glimpse of the Chicago public’s opinion on public art, its value to them, and their rights and roles in the creation of such endeavors.

    October 31, 2019 BY ELECTRONIC MAIL Mark Kelly, Commissioner Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events 78 E. Washington St., 4th Floor Chicago, IL 60602 [email protected] Re: Unconstitutional Regulation of Millennium Park Dear Mr. Kelly: I write regarding the conduct of security personnel at Refuse Fascism’s October 26, 2019 protest in Millennium Park (the “Park”). Based on witness accounts, Park security made unconstitutional demands of protesters, some of which were based on unconstitutional provisions of the August 26, 2019 Millennium Park Rules (the “Rules”) promulgated by the Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE). 1 I ask for your assurances that such restrictions will not be imposed at future protests, including Refuse Fascism’s demonstrations planned for the next three Saturdays. Public parks are traditional public forums that “have immemorially been held in trust for the use of the public and, time out of mind, have been used for purposes of assembly, communicating thoughts between citizens, and discussing public questions.” Perry Ed. Assn. v. Perry Local Educators' Assn., 460 U.S. 37, 45 (1983) (quoting Hague v. Committee for Industrial Organization, 307 U.S. 496, 515 (1939)). In such places, the government’s authority to restrict speech is limited to “regulations of the time, place, and manner of expression which are content-neutral, are narrowly tailored to serve a significant government interest, and leave open ample alternative channels of communication.” Perry, 460 U.S. at 45. On October 26, Park security officers went well beyond the government’s constitutional authority to regulate speech in a public park.

Ciągła uwaga miast powinna dotyczyć przedsięwzięć zorientowanych na poprawę jakości przestrzeni miejskiej, również na zwiększenie jej atrakcyjności. Miasta atrakcyjne promują mieszkańcom nową jakość życia, kreują pozytywny wizerunek miasta, które to cechy mogą stać się motorem jego rozwoju. Przyspieszają również dopływ współczesnych czynników rozwoju : kapitału finansowego, innowacji, kreatywnych ludzi i technologii. Wprowadzenie nowych kreatywnych funkcji w przestrzeni miejskiej, powoduje nie tylko wzrost jej jakości, ale i wzrost wartości, które mają wpływ na człowieka użytkownika tej przestrzeni. Miejsca stają się atrakcyjne i unikatowe poprzez zwiększenie walorów użytkowych, spo- łecznych, kulturowych ekonomicznych. Jako przykład takiego miejsca może posłużyć Millenium Park w Chicago.

This research argues that the quality of urban life is based on the experience of urban open spaces. Such experience is what creates meanings and has not been given the necessary level of attention by many professionals in urban design. The outcome, therefore, may not always provide the user needs, which is the key factor for successful public places in the last couple of decades. This paper argues that the ambitions of designers should meet with the expectations of users to create meaningful public spaces. My interest in this study requires a phenomenological inquiry of necessary clarifications of terms. The research question, ‘Meaning for whom?’, needs to be answered by using empirical research method to identify what is conceived by outsiders as well as what is perceived by insiders.

  • New City Stage Players 2015-The
    Theater, Dance, Comedy and Performance in Chicago JAN 22 Players 2015: The Fifty People Who Really Perform for Chicago The steady expansion of the performing arts in Chicago continues its marvelous pace, with more and better theater, dance, comedy and opera gracing more and better stages each passing year. The upward progression is so steady that epic undertakings—a new campus at Steppenwolf, a bigger chunk of Navy Pier for Chicago Shakes—seem almost business as usual these days. And that is a marvelous thing. This year we again celebrat the lesser‐sung heroes offstage who deal with the less glamorous things like building those new stages, and paying those expanding payrolls withou which the stars would have nowhere to shine. Tragedy has been central to theater since the ancient Greeks first staged it, but the last year has brought a disproportionate volume of real‐ life tragedy to our community. No doubt, the expanding and maturing performing arts universe means that more members of its community will pass o each year, but the number of those struck down long before their expected hour was overwhelming these last twelve months and struck every corner of performing arts, from theater, to dance, to comedy, to opera. Molly Glynn, Jason Chin, Eric Eatherly, Bernie Yvon, Johan Engels, Julia Neary—and others we’ve unintentionally overlooked—we dim our collective marquee for you.
