PublicArtCommission | 2007-04-25 | 2 | Continued to Meeting of May 23, 2007 C. Alameda Towne Centre History Panels - Tad Savinar Mr. Savinar gave an update of the progress of the art installation at Alameda Towne Center. Mr. John Larson spoke about the panels being installed at Alameda Towne Centre. He described the panels and talked about the frustrating work behind them. Chair Huston expressed sympathy for his frustration. Commissioner Rosenberg spoke to the requirements and felt that the Commission could not impose "diversity' requirements for artwork. Commissioner Wolfe mentioned the economic disparity and that some people had cameras and could take pictures, some of which would end up in the pictorial record. Mr. Larson mentioned that the people with farms didn't have cameras and didn't take pictures therefore there is little or no record of the diversity of Alameda. Mr. Savinar asked what they were envisioning so he could respond to the request. Commissioner Wolfe responded by saying that a short description of the project and artist would be helpful. Mr. Chuck Millar expressed concern that the Commission was unfairly criticizing the panels. The Commission clarified that it is their job to ask questions of the artists to make sure they consider all possibilities when creating a public art project. 6. STAFF COMMUNICATIONS: 7. ADJOURNMENT: Meeting adjourned at 8:48 pm Respectfully submitted, Douglas Vu, Secretary Public Art Commission | PublicArtCommission/2007-04-25.pdf |
