  • 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.

  • LUCAS CULTURAL ARTS MUSEUM MAYOR’S TASK FORCE REPORT | CHICAGO May 16, 2014
    THE LUCAS CULTURAL ARTS MUSEUM MAYOR’S TASK FORCE REPORT | CHICAGO May 16, 2014 Mayor Rahm Emanuel City Hall - 121 N LaSalle St. Chicago, IL 60602 Dear Mayor Emanuel, As co-chairs of the Lucas Cultural Arts Museum Site Selection Task Force, we are delighted to provide you with our report and recommendation for a site for the Lucas Cultural Arts Museum. The response from Chicagoans to this opportunity has been tremendous. After considering more than 50 sites, discussing comments from our public forum and website, reviewing input from more than 300 students, and examining data from myriad sources, we are thrilled to recommend a site we believe not only meets the criteria you set out but also goes beyond to position the Museum as a new jewel in Chicago’s crown of iconic sites. Our recommendation offers to transform existing parking lots into a place where students, families, residents, and visitors from around our region and across the globe can learn together, enjoy nature, and be inspired. Speaking for all Task Force members, we were both honored to be asked to serve on this Task Force and a bit awed by your charge to us. The vision set forth by George Lucas is bold, and the stakes for Chicago are equally high. Chicago has a unique combination of attributes that sets it apart from other cities—a history of cultural vitality and groundbreaking arts, a tradition of achieving goals that once seemed impossible, a legacy of coming together around grand opportunities, and not least of all, a setting unrivaled in its natural and man-made beauty.

  • The Crown Fountain in Chicago's Millennium Park Is an Ingenious
    ACrowning Achievement The Crown Fountain in Chicago’s Millennium Park is an ingenious fusion of artistic vision and high-tech water effects in which sculptor Jaume Plensa’s creative concepts were brought to life by an interdisciplinary team that included the waterfeature designers at Crystal Fountains. Here, Larry O’Hearn describes how the firm met the challenge and helped give Chicago’s residents a defining landmark in glass, light, water and bright faces. 50 WATERsHAPES ⅐ APRIL 2005 ByLarry O’Hearn In July last year, the city of Chicago unveiled its newest civic landmark: Millennium Park, a world-class artistic and architec- tural extravaganza in the heart of downtown. At a cost of more than $475 million and in a process that took more than six years to complete, the park transformed a lakefront space once marked by unsightly railroad tracks and ugly parking lots into a civic showcase. The creation of the 24.5-acre park brought together an unprecedented collection of world-class artists, architects, urban planners, landscape architects and designers including Frank Gehry, Anish Kapoor and Kathryn Gustafson. Each con- tributed unique designs that make powerful statements about the ambition and energy that define Chicago. One of the key features of Millennium Park is the Crown Fountain. Designed by Jaume Plensa, the Spanish- born sculptor known for installations that focus on human experiences that link past, present and fu- ture and for a philosophy that says art should not simply decorate an area but rather should trans- form and regenerate it, the Crown Fountain began with the notion that watershapes such as this one need to be gathering places.

  • Dreams and Fury of a Visionary: Goya Francisco Goya
    Dreams and fury of a visionary: Goya Francisco Goya Unlike many of the leading figures of the art world, Francisco Goya cannot be really placed in any specific artistic movement or historical period. On the one hand he is close to the late Baroque and to Neoclassicism, on the other his opus shows themes typical of the Age of Enlightenment, anticipations of romantic philosophy and reflections on modernity. In a politically and socially backwards Spain, Goya is a witness (in Argan’s words) “of sharp mind and of moral and political dignity”, as well as a precursor of the anguish and reflections of the XIX and XX century. In the artistic journey of the Spanish master, engraving acts as a cultural and stylistic synthesis of his iconography, and Goya revolutionises its techniques too. A true etching virtuoso, the Spanish artist is equally versed in drypoint and burin and experiments successfully with aquatint. Goya’s work is a real turning point in the history of printmaking and his influence can be traced across the entire XIX century and even in the XX century, as far as into German Expressionism. The exhibition presented here follows in a remarkably complete fashion the entire span of Goya’s life. In the D’après Velazquez series (1778-82) the artist pays tribute to his master with eleven extraordinary etchings. The second series are the Caprichos, completed in 1798. Rooted in Enlightenment rationality, these exceptional plates nevertheless prefigure more modern anxieties and irrationalities. Goya’s satire uncovers the evils, prejudices and deceits of the Spain of his times, which are the same evils, prejudices and deceits of any society.
