Sculptists. . . Thanks to all of you who took a moment to help keep the City of Melbourne on its toes. They responded to my note with a letter which gave pretty clear justification for their relocation of Tom Bills' piece. I thought this was interesting. Francoiseí publication is also an apropos resource for another querie submitted this week, which follows. Comments are welcome. Take care, Randy To: jeffrey.york@ncmail.net From: Maryrose Carroll <sculpt@skybest.com> Subject: Process of Public Art Jeffrey York and I were having a discussion on the way Public Art may be acquired. Having had 25 years of experience siting work in Chicago, San Diego, Springfield, IL, Durham, Fayetteville, Charlotte and most recently the Millennium Sculpture in Hickory, NC ... I was saying I can no longer afford the time, sometimes a day, to fill out all the requirements for each individual commission. He replied: "Most % for art programs, including the now defunct one in NC, are mandated by ordinance or legislature to maintain the most democratic selection process possible. It may be political correctness run rampant, but it is an important aspect of the "public" in public art. In a 1999 public art guidebook for artists published by Art Art Calendar, perhaps Francoise Yohalem summed it up by saying "The Process is set up to serve the client, not the artist."" He also wrote: " Well established public arts programs like those in Seattle, Oregon and a few others go the route of the artist registry, where by project artists are selected from a smaller pool of already screened applicants." I do participate in such a registry, with the Ohio Arts Council, The GSA and New York City's Cultural Affairs. These registries present artist's work to their public clients and inform the artists when their work is being considered. Artists may update their files annually. I realize North Carolina has no legislative mandate for public art, and hence no registry...what I am wondering is how other artists feel about these 2 types of selection process? Maryrose Carroll www.maryrose.net Hi Randy, I have a question for you, I am starting to do more public art commissions and with some competitions they pick the winners by slides, some have you do presentations etc... My question is with regard to the budget, if it is a fixed or set budget they ask for a break down, materials, equipment, transportation, installation and so on then they have the part that says Artist's Fee.... Is there an accepted percentage out there in the world of public art??? I was told by a friend that 30% to 40% was acceptable. What is the norm???? Is 30% to 40% acceptable or reasonable??

QUERIES Chicago Sculptors: Nicole Beck has been awarded a grant to build a sculpture and is presently without a studio to build it...please contact her directly @ NBeckarts@aol.com if you have any leads on a short term (or long term) lease in the Chicago area. SYMPOSIUM? This time next year the North Carolina Museum of Art will have an exhibitionof the work of Sculptor Augustus Saint Gaudens. From various Civil War memorials to the Adams Memorial in Washington, to The Puritan in Massachusetts and the Chicago World's Fair, St. Gaudens was probably America's foremost designer of art for public monuments. (He may be remembered as much for designing gold coins as anything else.) I wonder how much interest there might be in organizing a symposium on public art in the United States from Civil War monuments to today. I would suggest the event be designed for the general interested public rather than public art professionals. Any thoughts?

USUK is motivated by a desire for artists to investigate new ideas and venture into the process of casting iron away from the constraints of academic and industrial foundry settings. It is our mission to continually evolve from this foundation and to explore the sculptural qualities of the material in concept, process and object. We aim to provide, if only for a brief period, a platform where artists can pursue the impossible. During the ten day residency, originally set up between England and America in 1997, magical things can happen, inspiration is ignited, fresh dialogue is sparked and vital links are created. Artists have 24 hour access to studio facilities, technical assistance, and informative demonstrations, including, Sand, Clay, Ceramic Shell and Investment. Artists have also experimented with producing work by casting into wood, glass, clay and earth. Iron, bronze and copper are poured, sometimes simultaneously into the same mold. It is open for the artist to develop ideas and take risks which they are not able to undertake by themselves in their own studio. Each evening slides, videos and discussions are led by participating and guest artists this is followed by a delicious group meal cooked by a different team of artists each night. Founded in 1997 USUK is Directed by Sculptor Coral Lambert, born UK, resides USA and Sculptor Elijah Sproles, USA. British Sculptor Laurence Edwards is the UK Coordinator. USUK has been previously been hosted at Franconia Sculpture Park, MN, USA and Yew Tree Farm Studios, Suffolk, UK. 2002 APPLICATION GUIDELINES Places are limited to 16 artists who will be selected by a panel of five qualified art professionals, artists will be notified by July 1st 2002.

The workshop is designed to immerse non-Native scientists in the experience of reality and the natural world as it is perceived by Native cultures and by Native scientists whose roots lie in Native communities. The central metaphor for the conference is the significance of Story to Native science. In the words of Greg Cajete, "Native science is born of a lived and storied participation with the natural landscape....open to the roles of sensation, perception, imagination, emotions, and spirit...." Since art is an integral part of Native ways of knowing and learning about the natural world, workshop organizers are seeking Native artists whose work expresses the workshop theme, in any media or style. Entries will be chosen on the basis of relevance to the workshop's theme and space available in the gallery. Exhibit organizers plan a traveling museum exhibition of artwork selected, and some pieces may be selected to appear in a film and book about the workshop. Online entries at <AHREF="www. tapestryweb.org/naconference/exhibitentry.html"> www.tapestryweb.org/naconference/exhibitentry.html</A> or send inquiries and entry forms by surface mail to: Carol Francisco, Exhibition Coordinator, Tapestry: The Institute for Philosophy, Religion, and the Life Sciences, 100 North 6th St., Suite 702, Waco, TX 76701; 254-752-5590; FAX: 254-752-5956; email: <A HREF="mailto:carolfrancisco@tapestryweb org"> carolfrancisco@tapestryweb.org</A> Dear Randy, We have another new call for the Henry Lay Sculpture Park in Louisiana, Missouri. We would appreciate your help in getting the word out for us! Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. Thanks for all of your help, Janet L. Couch, Secretary Henry Lay Sculpture Park hlay@nemonet.com 573-754-6641 Louisiana, Missouri: Henry Lay Sculpture Park ("HLSP") announces a call for an "Early American " outdoor sculpture. HLSP is located in Pike County, Missouri, about five miles southwest of the Town of Louisiana. Located within the over 300 acre multi- use project operated by Saint Louis University, is a 10 acre man- made lake, with a peninsula on the west side of the lake that is approximately 50íx 100í. On the east side of the lake, directly opposite from the peninsula is a small island. The original plan for the layout of HLSP contemplated a sculpture on the island that would be representative of Eastern Civilization and a sculpture on the peninsula that would be representative of the new Western Civilization in North America. The peninsula is presently the site of "Three Sisters", a bronze sculpture by Bing Cheng. "Three Sisters" was designed to reflect a Miao ethnic group, located in the Southwest part of China. The piece depicts three Miao sisters in traditional costumes used to express their happiness in times of celebration. The Review Committee is searching for an outdoor sculpture piece, to be located on the peninsula, which would express something about the people of early America. Please note that the Review Committee is open to consider pieces depicting either Native Americans and/or early settlers of the country. Applicants should include artist resume and statement, 15-20 slides of past works and cost, project proposal and approximate cost for project. For returned materials include a SASE. Deadline for call is April 12, 2002. Send materials to: Janet Couch, Early American Review, Henry Lay Sculpture Park, 17405 Hwy UU, Louisiana, Missouri, 63353. Any questions can be sent to Nanette E. Boileau, Director of the Saint Louis University Museum of Art, boilean2@slu.edu, 314-977-3398 or Janet L. Couch, hlay@nemonet.com, 573-754-6641.
