I cannot say in a stronger way that she would be a phe- nomenal selection for you, and I say that not only because of Joy’s astounding talent as an artist; I say it because she is ex- traordinary in blending the needs of a city or institution with the hopes and desires of its citizens. That is a rare and much needed quality for an en- vironmental artist. I don’t know how else to say it -- Joy is a miracle-worker, in every important way.

Creating a dynamic gateway to the City of Stamford. Our Connecticut Light Wrangler team is excited to have the opportunity to present our ideas and ex- pertise with state of the art pubic artworks and spectacles rendered in light to the City of Stamford. Our work will transform the Train Station into a place of wonder, which will invite visitors to return time and again to experience the ever-changing light delineation. Our proposal includes permanent moving LED light delineation of the Stamford train station, a vibrant changing color-wash for the northern façade. The sparkle of light will be visible from I-95 and beyond. With our electrical team’s expertise software programs will be designed in collaboration with the City of Stamford to highlight events and seasons. Our installation team will respond with further explanation regarding design, electrical elements, systems, software, content generation, and / or production. The changing programs will invite people to return often to experience the ever-changing light spec- tacle that the station will become. The illuminated station will provide a dynamic gateway to the City of Stamford. Our team has accumulative experience in designing and installing permanent works of public art and illumination, design and installation of theatrical light spectacles, and special occasion signature light installations, Your project is a wonderful opportunity to share our expertise in placemaking with light to offer a public work of art that will engage all who pass through via all forms of transportation inviting travelers to ex- perience the City of Stamford as a dynamic and progressive city of growth. The light design we propose will offer a visual vocabulary for ‘setting a firm foundation’ for future exten- sion of light way-finding into the City of Stamford in the future. 7 • Brief listing of projects with shared experience Wulke and Burnett have worked together on over 20 light and sound spectacles 7 of which have been large scale multi-media performances in outdoor settings which have included not only light, laser, projection, but steam, fire, pyrotechnics. In the larger productions Steven Hamelin of Supertech has supplied and installed all high tech equipment. Major projects include: 2010 Branford Luminata – Branford town center 2005 Terra Mirabila – Stony Creek Quarry 2003 New Haven Symphony Orchestra – Holst’s The Planets – Yale 2001 Terra Luminata – Stony Creek Quarry 2000 Navigation through Time – University of Connecticut / Avery Point 1999 Terra Continuum – Stony Creek Quarry 1995 Visualization of Time – Stony Creek Quarry Burnett also designs stage sets and lighting for the following productions: Elm Shakespeare Educational Center for the Arts Burnett - Hamelin • Bushnell Center for the Performing Arts - Belding Theater, Hartford, CT • Basketball Hall of Fame, Springfield, MA • Mohegan Sun Casino, Montville, CT • Brown University, Providence, RI • State University of NY at New Paltz • U.S. Coast Guard Academy, New London, CT See http://www.supertech-inc.com for complete listing • Jacob Burns Film Center SECTION 2: TECHNICAL RESPONSE 3.3 TECHNICAL RESPONSE FORMAT 3.31 SUMMARY The Light Wrangler team understands and has experience to cover the expectations of the Stamford Lights project, which includes permitting, acceptance, installation, operating and maintenance for three years of a permanent Illumination-Based Mural Project that will transform the experience around the Stamford Transportation Center. The proposed project will provide: • An enhanced sense of place by transforming the STC into a vibrant ever changing illuminated environment. • The light installation will give travelers a unique interactive experience and attract new visitors to the City of Stamford. • Through this installation Stamford will be seen in a “new light” as an exciting city of change and growth. • The light vocabulary of interactive LED programs, architectural LED enhancements and projections will set a firm foundation for future additions to the light-based work. • Provide a living display of lifestyle enrichment while using the latest energy - efficient technologies The proposed project will be active on the exterior of the STC. • The programs to articulate the STC’s architecture and will be permanent while ever changing in their light patterns. • The projects on the front of the STC will be programmed to accommodate civic events, holidays and special features representing the City of Stamford. These changing images and light programs will be semi-permanent, as they will be ever changing. The proposed Stamford Lights project will enhance the STC building and will not encroach on adja- cent properties. The equipment used in the installation will be installed in a safe and prudent manner and will not interfere with operations of the railroad, traffic on I-95, or any other building in the sur- rounding area. The equipment will be installed in a secure and discrete manner protected from weather and human intervention while being easily accessed for maintenance. This equipment will be permanent with an expected service life of 20 years. It is understood that we will be responsible for performance of defects for all material and workman- ship for the first three years and will provide an operation and maintenance manual to include the three year warranty.

  • GLWD Cowparade
    NYC2021 The CowParade God’s Love We Deliver is excited to announce that the Cow Parade is coming back to New York City this summer with God’s Love as the exclusive charity partner! If you were in the city in 2000, you likely recall the CowParade public art event during the summer of that year, which culminated in a live auction that raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for New York City non-profits including God’s Love We Deliver. The Mayor’s oce estimated that some 45 million people came to see the cows during the three months of the exhibit. CowParade began in New York and has gone on to stage another 90+ public art exhibits in 34 countries with more than 6,000 life size Fiberglass cows painted and imaginatively transformed by many thousands of global artists and sculptors. God’s Love is thrilled to be staging the 100th global CowParade event this August. NYC2021 Why Moo? The cow is simply a unique, three-dimensional canvas to which artists can easily relate. There really is no other animal that could adequately substitute for the cow. The surface area and bone structures are just right, as well as the height and length. Even more importantly, the cow is an animal we all love. One of the first words we say in our infancy is moo. Cows provide many the milk that fosters our development, and milk is the basis of childhood treats like ice cream. The cow is whimsical, quirky and never threatening. That is why so much of the art in this show causes us to laugh, smile and just feel good, something that New York City is yearning for.

  • A Piece of Me:Annierose Seifert and the SLO Cowparade
    A Piece of Me: Annierose Seifert and the SLO CowParade A Senior Project By Annierose Seifert December 2017 Background CowParade is an international art movement brought to sunny San Luis Obispo, California during the summer of 2016. CowParade SLO showcased 101 painted fiberglass cows. Each cow has a different sponsor and artist. This event was created to give back to local charities, attract tourism and notoriety to hosting communities, and give local artists the chance to be on a global stage. CowParade is an international event hosted in more than 70 cities around the globe including Paris, France, Perth, Australia, China and Brazil. The event began in 1999 with the first parade being hosted in Chicago, Illinois (CowParade, 2017). Involvement California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo purchased five cows in total. The College of Agriculture, Food, and Environmental Sciences (CAFES) sponsored two of the cows and for one of them, selected a student to be the artist. Author and student, Annierose Seifert gladly took the opportunity and painted her very first life-size, fiberglass cow; a piece of art far different than any she had done before. CAFES was aware of the student’s artistic ability from her rodeo coach, Ben Londo. Being a student in the Agricultural Education and Communication Department, they thought it was the perfect opportunity to showcase the Learn by Doing motto of Cal Poly. Getting Started The Cal Poly student has considered herself an artist from the very beginning. She grew up drawing and painting anything she could get her hands on; however, that never included a fiberglass animal.

In Tompkins' impressionist paintings on photographic images, women from the 30's and 40's saucily act out in a frothy, leafy, grassy, effulgent playground, like nymphs in a naturalist boudoir. In contrasting colors, where the red next to green or fuchsia beside puce is as vibrant as a gift wrapped with the freshness of nature; Betty Tompkins' pin-ups from the past cavort in the outdoors. Like a flurry of covert caresses between viridian landscapes and scantily clad figures, tantalizing fleshy hues are discretely muted by the photographic gradations from white to black as they lay in the arms of pastel bushiness.

  • Cow in the Museum
    There’s a Cow in Our Museum by Mike O’Hara We have a very special cow in our Brighton-Allston Heritage Museum. Her name is “Moo-rathon Runner.” She is not, of course, a real marathon runner, or even a real cow. She is a fiberglass cow. Also, “Moo-rathon Runner” is only part of her name. Her full name is “Moo-rathon Runner on Cow- moo-nwealth Avenue,” which is the title given to her by her design artist, Laura Brooks Meyer, a Boston-based interior designer and artist who entered her in Boston’s Cow Parade back in 2006. Such whimsical names were common among the 117 cows that, like “Moo,” joined Boston’s version of the Cow Parade. For instance, down in the Financial District there was “Cash Cow”; the Waterfront area hosted “Cowtucket”; and in the Back Bay “A Street Cow Named Desire” and “Moom with a View.” So, just what is a Cow Parade? Well, first of all, it is not a real parade. Rather, it is a collection of life size fiberglass cow sculptures designed and painted by local artists featuring artwork specific to local culture, city life and other relevant themes and situated in public places all over the city to provide an enjoyable, unique, family-friendly art-viewing experience. The event also serves to energize the retail and commercial areas in which the cows appear, and at the end of the viewing period, typically three or four months, raises money for worthy causes (usually local children’s hospitals and other charitable organizations) through a public auction.
