ADJOURNMENT 3 Offer to Commission and Donate Artwork – Homing Recommendation That the Public Art Advisory Committee provide advice with respect to an offer from Dream Development to commission and donate a sculpture entitled “Homing” to the City of Saskatoon. Topic and Purpose Dream Unlimited Corporation is working with Heavy Industries, Fort Architecture and designer Landon Anholt to fabricate and donate a sculpture, entitled “Homing” to the City of Saskatoon for placement on a roundabout in the Brighton neighbourhood. The Administration is seeking input and advice the regarding this offer. Report Highlights 1. Dream Development has offered to fabricate and donate a sculpture entitled “Homing” to the City of Saskatoon. 2. The proposed sculpture is of unique design and conceptually intended to link the built and natural environment. Strategic Goal This report supports the Strategic Goal of Quality of Life and the long-term strategy of implementing the Municipal Culture Plan. Report Donation of Sculpture Private developer public art and donations of public art are encouraged in the Public Art Policy No. C10-025. The commission and donation of the sculpture “Homing” represents the largest investment in public art by a private developer in Saskatoon. The project is part of Dream Development’s Brighton Neighbourhood development. If approved, the sculpture will be placed on the gateway to the neighbourhood on the roundabout at the intersection of Brighton Boulevard and Brighton Common. Design and Concept For the Public Art Advisory Committees’ consideration, the Administration notes the following regarding the project’s design and concept (see Attachment 1): 1. Dream Development is partnering with Heavy Industries, Fort Architecture and Saskatoon born designer Landon Anholt to create this sculpture. 2. The artwork will be roughly 9.9 metres tall, 9.6 metres wide, and 14.7 metres deep. The lowest point of the piece will be approximately 2.7 metres above ground or just out of reach of an average adult with arms raised above their head. ROUTING: Community Services Department - PAAC April 12, 2019– File No. RCD 1870-13 Page 1 of 3 4 Offer to Commission and Donate Artwork – Homing 3. The most unique feature of the sculpture is perspective. From most vantage points, the piece will look like a cluster of homes or bird houses suspended in the air or a neighborhood in the sky. From the vantage point along the central axis of Brighton Common, the individual elements will come together to form the shape of a large bird flying in the sky with outstretched wings. 4. Conceptually, this piece is meant to be built to depict its natural environments while the story of the birdhouses is meant to specifically connect the neighbourhood to the nearby wetlands. The overall composition has a direct reference to the iconic Canadian architecture of Habitat 67 in Montreal, Quebec. The geometric arrangement of the birdhouses is derived from a similar concept of density and provides an inherent reference to the Habitat building. Options to the Recommendation Noted below are three options: 1) accept the donation based on the concept as presented; 2) accept the donation with suggested or recommended changes; or 3) not accept the donation. Public and/or Stakeholder Involvement Dream hosted an information session at the Brighton Information Centre on February 26, 2019 to promote the concept of a large scale piece of artwork as a signature gateway to the Brighton neighbourhood. Communication Plan Should the donation be accepted by both the Public Art Advisory Committee and City Council, the City of Saskatoon will issue a Public Service Announcement. Policy Implications The advice of the Public Art Advisory Committee is in compliance with Public Art Policy No. C10-025. Should the donation be accepted, a report will be prepared for the Standing Policy Committee on Planning, Development and Community Services recommending that they further recommend to City Council approval to accept the donation. Financial Implications The approximate cost of this project is $750,000. Dream Development will fully fund the fabrication and installation of the artwork. Dream has offered to maintain the sculpture under warranty for five years. After five years, the ongoing operating impact to the City is estimated at $1,500 per year. Environmental Implications The design of the sculpture was submitted to the Transportation and Utilities Department in December of 2018 to ensure sight distance compliance with roundabout guidelines. The proposed footprint was deemed acceptable with the only condition being that shrubs be limited to the high landscaping zone in the centre of the island. Page 2 of 3 5 Offer to Commission and Donate Artwork – Homing Safety/Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) If the donation of “Homing” is accepted, it will be presented at an upcoming CPTED meeting for review. Other Considerations/Implications There are no privacy considerations at this time. Due Date for Follow-up and/or Project Completion Should the Public Art Advisory Committee accept the donation, the Administration will prepare a report for the May 13, 2019 meeting of the Standing Policy Committee on Planning, Development and Community Services. Public Notice Public Notice pursuant to Section 3 of Policy No. C01-021, Public Notice Policy, is not required. Attachment 1. Homing Report Approval Written by: Kevin Kitchen, Community Development Manager, Community Services Department Approved by: Andrew Roberts, Acting Director, Recreation and Community Development SP/2019/PAAC/Offer to Commission and Donate Artwork – Homing/ac Page 3 of 3 6 Attachment 1 Homing The support structure will most likely be made of metal and each birdhouse will likely be a cast out of a light weight concrete. 1 7 Attachment 1 The bird houses are intended to be solid structures and will not have openings for birds or other debris to collect in. 2 8 Exhibition of Remai Modern Sculptures in Hyde Park Recommendation That the Public Art Advisory Committee provide advice with respect to the proposal to install and exhibit up to five Remai Modern sculptures in Hyde Park.

  • This Egg, He Then Asked Us to Cut It Into Two Pieces and Rejoin Them
    2 GRAHAM PEACOCK — A Retrospective Thoughts on Sculpture I !"#$%&' () S*+,-.+%& ")' P"().()/ at Goldsmiths College of Art, London University 1962 to 1966, and I continue to maintain a keen interest in sculpture. !e "rst recollection I have of making sculpture is of carving a female wooden torso at high school. At Goldsmiths College I studied head and "gure modeling under Ivor Roberts Jones (1913 - 1996), and made constructions in metal and wood under the instruction of sculptors Kenneth Martin (1905 - 1984) and William Tucker (1935 - ). Ivor Roberts Jones taught a Rodinesque, expressive approach to life modeling. Martin was an abstract structuralist and built his sculptures largely by regular proportional movements, whereas Tucker, also an abstract sculptor, was exploring di#ering spatial variations of the same shape, utilizing a $at, three-dimensional, sectional and/or volumetric interpretations. Tucker’s teaching approach challenged students to work by using their imagination. I recall him having us cover a newspaper ball- like shape with plaster, which he then asked us to shape to a perfect form. Having laboriously perfected this egg, he then asked us to cut it into two pieces and rejoin them. His thinking on the variables and interpretation of form had a profound in$uence on my development in my "rst year at art school. Tucker was part of the ‘New Generation,’ a group of British sculptors who were beginning to be widely exhibited at that time and made their debut in the U.S.A. in the early 1960s. He was also teaching at St. Martins School of Art with another ‘New Generation’ sculptor, Anthony Caro (1924 - ).

  • Getting 'Er Done: Cultural Planning and the Phantasmagoria of Public
    Getting ‘er Done: Cultural Planning and the Phantasmagoria of Public Art in Edmonton By Ariel MacDonald A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In Human Geography Earth and Atmospheric Sciences University of Alberta Ⓒ Ariel MacDonald, 2021 Abstract This research provides the first comprehensive account of Edmonton’s public art collection. It asks: How is public art understood and practiced, what landscapes do these understandings and practices give rise to, and what is the relationship between such landscapes and broader processes of urban development? Edmonton’s first public artwork was commissioned or purchased in 1957, and the collection has since grown to include over 260 artworks. Central to the collection’s growth was the adoption of a percent for art policy in 1991, whereby one percent of qualifying capital expenditure budgets have gone towards the creation of public artworks. Data were collected through site visits to public artworks, qualitative interviews with key informants working in the administration of public art in Edmonton and an examination of three key planning documents. The central data set, gathered from site visits to the artworks in the collection, was analyzed in three segments: (1) an overview of the collection noting its spatial and temporal growth; (2) the application and discussion of an interpretive tag system; and (3) the description of 12 exemplary artworks in the collection. In order to explore the relationship between the landscape of public art in Edmonton and broader processes of urban development, the theoretical lens of phantasmagoria was utilized. Popularized in early 19th century Paris, the phantasmagoria was a spooky lantern show where images were projected onto walls or screens but their source was obscured.

Page 1 of 728 09/25/2021 Edmonton Arts Council - Public Art (Map) Based on Edmonton Arts Council - Public Art MATERIAL INSTALLATION_ADDRESS DESCRIPTION mild steel Borden Art Park Mariposa is the Spanish word for butterfly and also refers to a particular stance adopted by a matador in the bullfight. As with many of Peter Hide’s sculptures, the image of the piece cannot be pinned down to one literal interpretation. Hide states, “Sculpture is, perhaps, the most literal of the arts, and for it to become a stimulus to imagination and feeling it has to overcome its literality. As an abstract sculptor one way I can achieve this is by using an ambiguous image or a succession of images that tend to cancel each other out.” Hand-carved bricks, glass tile 111 Street and 51 Avenue Immense Mode is an immediately recognizable work. Made from 42,000 pounds of brick and mortar, the sculpture is an expression of whimsy, which, at 20 feet tall, demands your attention.

Neil Clements Submitted for the degree of PhD The Glasgow School of Art School of Fine Art November 2017 © Neil Clements, 2017 Abstract This thesis addresses British art of the late 1950s and 1960s, and specifically traces how formalist aesthetics and broader cultural factors influenced abstract art being made at this time. As such it is concerned with defining how particular artworks, while not depicting the environment in which they were produced, can still be demonstrated to embody it through other means. Opposing a binary separation of pop figuration and formalist abstraction prevalent in other scholarship dealing with the period, this text instead outlines a scenario where formalist strategies of art-making were themselves ideologically predicated on a number of other societal factors.
