Digest 12
Are People Too Scared To Shop Online?
From: usa newyork
Sculptists. . . .
Hey. Sorry to have ignored you for a couple of weeks. Maybe your
mailboxes needed a break from these big emails? Anyway, my
grandmother died and I had to be out of town.
Enclosed please find the postings folks have been sending in. The
following is a reminder about the listserv, since we have so many
new members:
You are tuned in to the Outdoor Sculpture Projects Listserv
hosted by the International Sculpture Center. The list is around
400 persons from all over the world: sculptors, curators, museum
& sculpture park administrators, landscape architects, etc. I
moderate the list. People can ask questions of each other, or
make comments, and I post items I think would be of interest to
the group on a weekly basis. To post something to the list, send
email in REPLY to this message.
If you would like to join simply send an email to
<outdoor-art-request@sculpture.net> with the word
"subscribe" as the subject. If you would like to remove
yourself from the the list send an email to the same address with
the word "remove" as the subject. This happens
instantaneously. I cannot control list settings.
Take care,
RJ
SCHOOL INITIATED SCULPTURE PARK
Hi, I realize it is past Nov. 15. I just read your site and found
it
interesting because my partner teacher and I have just begun a
project to
turn an adjoining park at our school into an outdoor art project.
We have
just received permission from the city to complete our plan and
do the
student/community project. We are excited and would like any
information
you can provide. My partner is the art teacher and artist and I
am a
special ed. teacher working with high risk and emotionally
disturbed teens.
We think the project could be a way to link our kids and program
with the
community and city. Thanks for your time. Tim Garrett

CAMPUS SCULPTURE PARKS
Hello Randy, My name is Caroline Doll and I work for California's
fledgling university Ca. State Univ. Channel Islands. I am
particularly
interested in how sculpture gardens are typically set up on
campuses and
under what terms. Jumping around your web site I have spotted
several
institutions which quite likely would be able to provide useful
information but I thought I would start with you to see if you
have any
"gems of wisdom" to offer at the outset. Any advise you
have is
appreciated. Thank you. Caroline

NORTH TEXAS PROGRAM
Hello! As part of a Teaching with Technology grant from the
University of
North Texas, I have designed and implimented a sculpture course
that
includes working in the shop (in the more or less traditional
approach to
sculpture), but I've developed the curriculum to include a
distance learning
aspect. With this grant, I have purchased a pretty hefty Pentium
III and
loaded 3-D Studio Max, among other programs, on it. The course
will be
giving students the opportunity to utilize the design
capabilities of the
computer, the shop, and the sketchbook as a complete
thinking/making concept
and device. The idea is to digitally shoot work that the students
are making
in the shop and on the computer, and email them to sculptors from
around the
world in a scheduled format so my students can communicate
globally their
ideas, and receive back global critique and feedback. If you are
interested
in participating, please contact me at: katehunt@unt.edu. As
well, I have
been downloading the emails that Randy has been sending out, and
will have
them available to this same group of students so they can
individually
contact sites that are of interest to them personally, so you
just might
hear from us sometime this spring semester too! Thank you very
much, and we
look forward to hearing from you.

„Cleveland‚s Outdoor
Museum.‰ The 285-acre grounds are rich with significant art
and
architecture, as well as impressive offerings in horticulture,
geology, and
animal life. Modeled after the garden cemeteries of Victorian
England and
France, Lake View was developed in a rural arboretum setting. The
name was
selected because of the magnificent view of Lake Erie, one of the
Great
Lakes. The cemetery‚s history and heritage is filled with
the names of
those who made great contributions to Cleveland‚s and the
nation‚s,
industrial, civic, social, and cultural fabric. A few examples

D. Rockefeller, Garrett Morgan, Adella Prentiss Hughes, Eliot
Ness, Carl

Today, Lake View Cemetery is considered an urban oasis for
recreation and
contemplation and is neighbored by renowned cultural institutions

Hall (home of the Cleveland Orchestra). As an active cemetery,
Lake View
welcomes over 360,000 visitors each year for tours, hikes,
picnics, and
memorial purposes. For the purposes of this exhibition, the
grounds have a
variety of sites - wooded, open fields, areas surrounding small
lakes,
ravines, and more.

Site One
Mayfield Gate area
This is one of the two main entrances to Lake View Cemetery. The
potential
sites in this area include the two pieces of land just inside the
gates, the
large island inside the gate to the right (also located in front
of the
mausoleum), and the triangle of land that is directly across from
the
entrance gate. These prominent locations provide opportunities to
relate to
the striking architecture of the gates themselves, the
contemporary backdrop
of the mausoleum‚s architecture, as well as the surrounding
natural
landscape. This gate is located on Mayfield Road (a major
thoroughfare) and
these locations have visibility to passer-by traffic through the
iron fence.
There is access to electricity in this area.
Dimensions:
These are approximate dimensions
Areas are measured at the widest points
Area inside gate to left: 73‚ x 10‚

Large island in front of mausoleum: 90‚ x 99‚
Central triangle: 45‚ (measured area between two Japanese
Maples) x 60‚
Site Two
Wade Lake, Dempsey Lake and Wade Chapel areas

surrounded
by lush green fields, flowering trees, and wildlife. In addition
the Hubbel
and Benes designed Wade Chapel, with its magnificent Louis
Comfort Tiffany
designed interior, provides a point of reference for numerous
creative
opportunities. Artists are also invited to propose works that
would be
installed in the lake/s.

spring when
the daffodils are in bloom. The over 100,000 bulbs are planted
for a
staggered blooming schedule. The gently sloping hill provides a
varied
landscape throughout the seasons. The hill is located at a
prominent
intersection within the cemetery.

the gate
provides a backdrop of the historical main office building. The
site inside
to the left of the gate includes a row of tree lilacs which would
provide a
brilliant spring backdrop for a work. Both sites have visibility
to passing
traffic through the iron fence. Both areas are shaded by mature
trees.
