OUTDOOR SCULPTURE ENTHUSIASTS:
Hope all of you are doing great this week. I have been busy
moving into my new house and opening a show in Dallas. Here's
what has come in this weekend. Issues and concerns for sculptors
are in RED, and those directed more towards sculpture park and
museum administrators are in GREEN. I will be posting an article
later this week on funding ideas for outdoor sculpture projects.
Keep that dialogue running -- just hit REPLY to this message.
Take care,
RJ
Hello,
I am a sculptor from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. I have been
competing at international snow, ice and sand sculpture
competitions all
over the world for the past 7 years. I have never received any
funding
from arts organizations. Any suggestions? All members of my team
have to
pay for their plane tickets and there are no prize money in snow
sculpting, not much in ice either. Sand is the only medium where
the
prize money is very big. I have no idea why. This winter I'll be
competing in Sapporo and in Nayoro, Japan (snow).
Check www.icealaska.com for the world championships ice art in
Fairbanks
and www.harrisand.org for the World Sand Sculpture Championships
(all
professional sculptors can enter in both events).

Hello - I look forward to sharing and learning from this much
needed site.
I am Lisa Tremper Hanover, director of the Philip and Muriel
Berman Museum
of Art at Ursinus College, Pennsylvania (about 30 miles northwest
of
Philadelphia). We have a large (45 pieces) outdoor sculpture
collection
integrated throughout the campus; we also hold 135 works by Lynn
Chadwick
(many in maquette, small to medium scale, and 14 large scale
bronzes).
Hello, I am a Boston-based sculptor who has created public
sculpture in
many different media. Two recent commissions are on my website:
http://alienlanding.org/carolynwirth.html
I am presently working on mechanized pieces and a small fountain
which
will have water-activated moving parts. I am interested in issues
about
maintenance of public sculpture. Do other sculptors out there
make
provisions for ongoing maintenance in their initial commission
contracts, or do we all just hope that work will be kept in good
repair?

Just joining the site, good stuff so far. I'm interesting in
finding if
anyone out there is doing or knows of public art along greenways
and trails.
Whether it be as part of public art program or planned siting for
a piece.
I'm a wannabe sculptor (my next career) trained as a landscape
architect
currently focusing on bicycle and pedestrian planning. I'd like
give more
incite to my clients of how to create a unique trail facility my
integrating
art.
Many states have public arts programs as part of public transit,
rail and bus
stations, but I think this should go further to integrate
multi-modal
facilties such a greenways and trails.
Introducing myself... I am Rebecca Greenwood, an independent
public art
consultant based in Hobart, Australia. I work for local and state
government
on a project by project basis, assessing potential sites for
public art,
writing briefs, recruiting artists, and monitoring the projects.
I'm
currently developing a concept for a sculpture competition in the
parks of
Hobart, and am interested in hearing from anyone who has
administered a
similar project, who can share ideas about the best ways to
select artists,
fund prizes, assess city parks for sculpture placement, etc.

Michigan University Sculpture Tour.
Check out our web site: www.wmich.edu/art/exhibitions
We have had ongoing outdoor exhibitions on the campus since 1992.
This is a very interesting forum, and we look forward to further
communications.
I teach Ceramics at Springfield High School in Delaware County,
PA. We have
recently begun a sculpture club for students and are working on
the
transformation of our incredibly ugly courtyard into a sculpture
garden. We
are also looking for sculptors who would be interested in
spending a week in
the spring of 2001 creating two collaborative, site-specific
sculptures with
our students at the high school and at one of our elementary
schools......we
have funding for the materials and for a stipend. I am also
trying to set
up dialogues between my advanced ceramics students and ceramic
sculptors to
discuss technique, content and to participate in online
critiques. My
address is beltochr@ssd.k12.pa.us.
In late spring 2001, the Cape [Cod] Museum will open its new
Yasuna/Denny Sculpture Garden, which will coincide with the
completion
of our $1.5 addition and 20th anniversary.

Thank you for initiating this site - it's the most entertaining
reading I've
had in a long time! I am a sculptor who has just installed a
six-foot bronze
entrance figure for a Memorial Garden and it was such fun to do
that I hope
to pursue many more landscape enhancement projects. My name is
Barbara Budd,
I live in Colorado Springs, CO, and work in cast cement, bronze
or stainless
steel. My style is abstract/figurative (ala Henry Moore) and my
gift seems
to be expressing the relationship between people, or spirit of
place.
I can be reached at (719) 632-6050 or bmcbs@iex.net
I am a writer trying to track down some collectors of monumental
(outdoor) sculpture, figurative or abstract, for a brief
interview on
who they collect and why. Would you know any resource for such
information?
Thanks much,
Matthew Smotzer
HI, - from the Icelandic Lava,
with a short introduction.
My name is Einar Mar Gudvardarson, sculptor and videoartist and
in charge of LIGHTCLIFF, Sculpture and Environmental Art, in
Hafnarfjordur, Iceland.
Me and my wife,sculptor Susanne Christensen from Denmark, live,
have our studio and gallery space in a preserved lava area by the
North Atlantic. Beyond living and working here, mainly in
different types of stone and making videoart, we invite selected
artists during the summer months to come, work and exhibit her on
the terms that they work with and in relation to this preserved
lavaarea but of course without spoiling it in any way.The man
-nature relation as well as the inner-outer space relation is
important in this context. We started our summer programme as
part of the Reykjavik Cultural City of Europe 2000 programme by
inviting HalldÛr ¡sgeirsson, Icelandic multimedia artist,
Steina Vasulka videoartist, living in Santa Fe, Tadashi Endo
Butohperfomer, living in Germany, Robin Von Hoegen, multimedia
artist, living in Japan and finally Keizo Ushio, Stonesculptor
Japan.
In the summer of 2001 we are expecting Hreinn Fridfinnsson
(Iceland) and Paul-Armand Gette (France) conceptual artists and
Gary Hill, videoartist, together with Pauline Wallenberg,
performer, from the States. Lightcillf is not an Art Recidency,
but a private Art Project for selected and invited artists who
accept to come, work and exhibit in relation to this particular
lavaarea and using the facillities we have to offer.The project
is supported by official and private cultural funds.Some info and
links from last summer can be found on our homesite:
www.lightcliff-art@islandia.is The side is still under
construction and poor so far. Some basic info about me can be
found on the homesite www.umm.is , which is the homesiste for
Icelandic Visual Artists.
I make large and small sculptures and sculpture commissions in
stone and have been doing so professionally for seven years in
Iceland, Denmark, Finland and Italy. I work in basalt, marble and
granite and have also been teaching stone sculpture and
environmental art at Art Schools in Iceland and Finland. So if
you need an experienced highly professional Icelandic stone
sculptor, environmental and video artist, to work on stone
sculpture commisions, to participate in Symposiums, Environmental
or site-specific art projects, the making of sculptures and
environmental art in all possible contexts, the designing and
planing of sculptural gardens or parks or simply to lecture on
stone sculpture and/or environmental art, - I have the experience
in all those fields and I love the challange of new artistic
projects, contexts and situations. Travelling has been and is an
important part of my artwork. And I am one of those passionate
artists, who have to live their art all the way through. I give
myself totally too it. For me there is no other way!
Thank you for sharing this with me,
Kind Regards,
Einar Mar Gudvardarson,
