PublicArtCommission/2022-06-27.pdf,2 | PublicArtCommission | 2022-06-27 | 2 | Minutes of the Public Art Commission Monday, June 27, 2022 Jen Krava, Director of Programming Mark Salinas, Senior Project Manager Yarlyn Rosario, Project Manager Mallory Rukhsana Nezam, Consultant Yolanda Cotton Turner, Local Artist Consultant Rukhsana Nezam explained the Group Agreements for the evening's facilitation process, and shared Forecast's Master Plan timeline and engagement plan. After defining Public Art in general, including common locations, sample funding models, and a presentation of the wide variety of existing public art, Forecast facilitated an exercise to gather input for the definition of Public Art specific to the process of developing the Public Art Master plan for the City of Alameda. Questions and a summary of responses are as follows: Where should Public Art be located (concentrated or spread out)? Throughout Alameda; very publicly accessible; the diversity of opportunities within a variety of neighborhoods; art is missing from shoreline and other high-traffic key destination areas: difficult to locate existing public art; continue to expand artwork beyond nautical-theme; historical challenges has been finding sites and working with City to get approval for public art sites; and the importance of equitable distribution. How long should Public Art be installed? Program should support both performance and temporary physical art (temporary) as well as permanent pieces like sculpture (permanent); allow artwork to be deaccessioned so that artwork can represent a diversity of artists instead of the historical precedent of white male artists; increased cost of maintaining long term art pieces takes funding away from new artwork; temporary art can be placed in more locations; set term limits for art which allows a living-gallery feel and fresh art; civic buildings and garages might be a good fit for murals or light installations; Alameda has had no audio installations; and keep art permanently, but move art from key places to allow new art. Should the aesthetics and content of public art be mor… | PublicArtCommission/2022-06-27.pdf |
PublicArtCommission/2022-06-27.pdf,3 | PublicArtCommission | 2022-06-27 | 3 | Minutes of the Public Art Commission Monday, June 27, 2022 To what extent should the public art be static or interactive? Important to have some art that can be experienced by all senses and allows people to be involved in the art; Alameda has too much static art; interactive art is more memorable, permanent interactive installations can have higher maintenance expenses depending on the material. Should the artwork be created by local or global artists? Currently preference is given to local artists, however certain sites would be best served by artists outside of the area; miss talent of regional/national/global artists if only supporting local artists; local cost of living prohibits many artists from living locally; the rich diversity of artists attempting to stay local should be supported; has been difficult to reach all local artists with RFP information as well as inform public about public art; private art galleries support regional/national/globa artist of notoriety - save Public Art funds for local artists, however preference to ex-local artists too; multiple factors (like artists availability, marketing of RFP/RFQ, cost of materials, site specific needs) contribute to which artist might best fit - so it's a balance of attracting artists from outside the area and supporting local artists. Staff member Toma opened the floor for public comment: Resident Pat Atkinson offered that location does not need to be either completely spread out or totally concentrated, temporary art allows more community involvement, a sculpture garden by the Seaplane Lagoon ferry terminal would welcome visitors, popup art installations could be placed throughout the city and in public parks, Rhythmix Cultural Works has been very successful at producing art experiences that are a combination of visual and performing arts, mapping existing public art would be helpful in driving the Public Art Master Plan. Tina Blaine, Executive Director of Rhythimix Cultural Works, made the suggestion to perform a survey of existing public art curate… | PublicArtCommission/2022-06-27.pdf |
