Arts-Hollypark Plan-Overviewfinal CITY OF INGLEWOOD Parks, Recreation and Community Services DATE: March 17, 2021 TO: Arts Commission FROM: Parks, Recreation and Library Services Department SUBJECT: Receive and File: Hollywood Park/ Sofi Stadium Art Program Process Documents RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Arts Commission Receive and File the Hollywood Park/Sofi Stadium Phase 1 Art Program Process Document, Compliance Report, and related documents submitted in 2020 and 2021 by Hollywood Park Management Company, LLC. BACKGROUND Inglewood’s Hollywood Park Racetrack closed in December 2013. It was sold to a development consortium and slated as a site for sports, entertainment, and commercial and residential projects. This multi-billion-dollar effort was approved in an all or nothing voter referendum in Spring 2015 that included a variance from the City’s traditional percent for art ordinance. The provision of public art for Hollywood Park/Sofi Stadium is outlined in the Project Development Agreement (PDA) between the developer and City. The PDA classifies architectural elements that are aesthetic or functional elements designed by a building or landscape architect that are not mass produced but designed to contribute to the architectural identify of the project as public art. The PDA also includes a commitment of $2 million for Inglewood artists. “…the art contributions can be aggregated and used to fund larger and more impactful art and art facilities such as a museum or iconic architectural feature of the Stadium creating a singular project identity, and a minimum of $2 million shall be dedicated to commission, acquire and/or display public art directly from local Inglewood artists. The selection of such local art shall be made in consultation with the Inglewood Arts Commission.” The unique aspects of the development are reflected in sequential plans and supporting documents. These documents define public art, public place, process, budget, cultural programming and public art plans, in ways unique to this project, and the field of public art. As such, the Arts Commission does not have its traditional authority over the developer’s public art plans, public art works, art sites, art budgets, art content, art definitions, or developers’ expenditures. However, the Commission has the responsibility to provide cultural witness on behalf of the City, as to the developers’ realization of their stated, mutable and ongoing goals, One W. Manchester Boulevard • Inglewood, CA • 90301 • Phone (310) 412-8750 • Fax (310) 330-5750 • www.cityofinglewood.org especially regarding Inglewood artists’ projects and youth education programs. The Commission’s discussion is vital to ensure recognition and support for local artists, cultural providers and the creative communities across the City of Inglewood. DISCUSSION With the percent for art ordinance variance, the developer is commended for the effort to enhance the City of Inglewood with public art and spaces. They have submitted separate public art plans for Hollywood Park; Sofi Stadium; and public and private commercial areas of the parks and performance venues. Demolition and construction has been ongoing for six years, and site improvements are anticipated to continue for another decade in diverse construction projects. The developer’s timeline has been impacted by months of national pandemic; their commitment to the next Superbowl, in February 2022, is firm. Several “public art” defined projects have been completed onsite as outlined in the attached Compliance Report. Currently, the commitment to fund $2M in Inglewood artists’ projects remains under development with Inglewood artists’ programming and project funding levels unknown to date as it relates to the developer’s full commitment to Inglewood artists, Inglewood youth education programs and overall community arts and culture. Consistent with the PDA, an annual Compliance Report is required to be submitted to the City. Staff recommends the Arts Commission Receive and File the 2020 Hollywood Park/Sofi Stadium Phase 1 Art Program Process Document, Compliance Report (covering March 31, 2015 – September 30, 2020), and related documents submitted in 2021 by Hollywood Park Management Company, LLC. Documents previously submitted by the developer in 2018 and 2019 are included for reference. FISCAL IMPACT: The developer’s project will not impact the Percent for Art Fund. All public art will be realized onsite. The attached Compliance Report reflects $28,929,830.20 expended on public art; $33,610 applies towards the $2 million aggregate amount.

The Public Art Plan contains a detailed description of the intent for the long-term Project, and should be referred to for further information about the overall vision and goals for the Project. However, the City has asked for details regarding the specific methods and practices employed by the Project staff and consultant teams to select the public art and designate the architectural features that will be completed during the first phase of the Project. Accordingly, this document provides an overview of the art located in Phase 1 of the Project and covers the period since the beginning of construction. All art and architectural projects that will be considered to be part of Phase 1 are expected to be completed by February 2022 when the Stadium is slated to host the 2022 NFL Super Bowl game. There is no specific phasing plan for how build-out will be accomplished. Hereafter, Art Plan compliance information will be submitted annually to the City in the compliance report prepared pursuant to the Figure 1: Rendering of SoFi Stadium and Performance Venue at Hollywood Park by architectural team HKS. Development Agreement. Hollywood Park / SoFi Stadium 3 Phase 1 Art Program Process Document Inspiration he first phase public art is comprised of a combination of artworks and architectural features Tselected to be engaging, innovative, and a cohesive part of the whole visitor experience. While guiding principles for the Project include a unified vision of design, a commitment to artistic excellence, intentional flexibility and integration of local artists, the artwork and architecture in Phase 1 will embody the vital identity and values of the Project, elevate the experience of the visitor, and bolster the Project’s and Inglewood’s distinctive sense of place. The public art and architectural features will contribute to the fundamental objective of attracting people to the public areas of the Project and give them a reason to stay and to return. As part of the development of the Phase 1 Art Program, the consultant team met with Project staff, the Project architect HKS and landscape architect Studio MLA to review the primary influences that informed the foundation of the design principles for the overall 300-acre site. Those meetings resulted in a series of documents that were created by the various design team disciplines. This information was provided to all artists who were asked to create preliminary design concepts or proposals for the public spaces. It was important for each artist to understand the unique architectural and landscape design principles that are part of the story of the site, although it was not intended that all artworks relate directly to these core design ideas. Some of these design principles include the following: • Global perspective, global audience. Figure 2: Rendering of River concept incorporated into pedestrian bridge in Lake Park by artist Alex Arrechea. • Regional attributes of Southern California. • Local history of Inglewood and the Hollywood Park/SoFi Stadium site. • Geography, light, and the moderate climate of the coastal and canyon areas. • Forward-thinking approach to design and use of outdoor space. • Some of the most diverse populations of people on the planet. • Embedded stadium with its transparent canopy. • Tectonic shift or “groundswell” that occurred as part of the natural evolution of the region.

  • Stone Sculpture Hand Carved Creations in Stone
    Zimbabwe Stone Sculpture HAND CARVED CREATIONS IN STONE • BRIEF BACKGROUND • THE STONE • MEDIA REVIEWS • FEATURED ARTISTS • THE SCULPTURE Gallery Handbook Zimbabwe Stone Sculpture A BRIEF BACKGROUND Born of an artistic environment free from the constraints of formal artistic ACKGROUND rules & boundaries, the Zimbabwe Sculpture Movement has become B known as the most compelling & evocative form of art to emerge from Africa in the 20th century. First appearing in the late 1950s, the art soon captured the attention of the west and has since been featured in many of the world’s finest museums, galleries & private collections. However, the significance of Zimbabwean stone sculpture lies not in the international recognition it has gained, but in its honest and emotional expression of the unique socio-cultural identity of the Zimbabwean community at large. The Zimbabwe Sculpture Movement reads as a testimony of time & place as the artists sculpt a cultural & spiritual induced depiction of the ever- changing Zimbabwean society. As their community changes, new styles emerge to document both the past, the present, and a vision for what’s to come. Zimbabwe Stone Sculpture A BRIEF BACKGROUND CONTINUED - In 1957, Frank McEwen was appointed as the first curator of the new ACKGROUND National Gallery in Salisbury, Rhodesia (now Harare, Zimbabwe). He had B previously been curator at the Musée Rodin, Paris and had links with various artists of the time, including Picasso (who was himself heavily influenced by African art) and Matisse. McEwen was impressed with the talent of some of the artists he met in Zimbabwe, and he encouraged them to paint and later to sculpt.
