Public Discussion of Any Item Not on the Agenda None. Consider minutes of the April 6, 2023 PAAC meeting. Seydell-Johnson moved and Dongilli seconded that the minutes from the April 6, 2023 meeting be approved. Motion passed (7-0). Discussion of City Council’s Strategic Plan, Megan Alter, Mayor Pro Tem gave a presentation about the Council’s Strategic Plan adopted in December. The plan will be used to guide decisions in different priority areas. It helps to keep elected officials and staff disciplined and focused. She went through the plan and singled out equity, one of our values, and that it should be considered in all decisions. She outlined Challenges and Opportunities which are numerous. She said the plan was formulated by looking at our values, what might it look like if we could live up to them and how to go about achieving that vision. She explained that it can be looked at as a pyramid with the Vision, the “Why,” at the top and being long-term and aspirational; the Strategy, the “What,” in the middle of the pyramid being long term and guiding; and the Action Steps, or the “How,” as being immediate and actionable. She related that Public Art lives in the plan in a number of places – such as neighborhood art that enhances neighborhoods in our housing and neighborhood impact area, bus stop art such as the South District Bus Stop Bench Art project that enhances our Mobility and Safety and Wellbeing impact areas, and projects that feature PAAC 6-8-23 meeting packet page 2 Preliminary, p.2 Public Art Advisory Committee Mtg, 5/4/2023 arts and culture such as those in the Matching Grant program that make Iowa City an attractive place to do business, supporting the Economy impact area. Consider moving uncommitted Matching Grant funds to Art Maintenance Ford recalled that at the last meeting there had been consensus to move the $7,790 that was not committed to Public Art Matching grants to the Art Maintenance line, but it was not an official agenda item at that meeting. Having it on today’s agenda covers that requirement. Ford showed several slides of Iowa City Public Art in need of repair including, the Literary Walk, the Sycamore Greenway Birds in Flight, the Benton Street Park entry sign, and the Kovalev sculptures. Jung moved and Dongilli seconded to move the remaining Matching Grant funds of $7,790 to the art maintenance line. Motion passed (7-0). Regarding the Literary Walk replacement costs cited for the Rita Dove plaque, Dongilli felt the University should be approached to cover that cost before we offer any cost splitting. The City of Literature is also interested in seeing the Dove plaque replaced. Costs ranged from $4,800 and $6,750 depending on construction method and size. Knoche said he would approach the University about the replacement. Dongilli said he would research maintenance plans in other communities. Ford said there was a plan in the Public Art strategic plan to revisit. Staff Updates Ford reported that we should see a concept for south district bus stop bench project at the June meeting. Ford also reported that we expect to see a final concept for the airport mural in the next few weeks. Adjournment Discussion ensued about moving the meeting to June 8 as many committee members were going to be out of town. The June 1 meeting will be moved to June 8. Knoche moved, Dongilli seconded that the meeting be adjourned. Motion passed (7-0).

Artists, including Pablo Picasso, pioneered this avant-garde art movement that incorporates geometric forms or "cubes" to create abstract art pieces. Window Dressing offers two different views of one face and as you look at the piece you likely can Adams - Window Dressing PAAC 6-8-23 meeting packet page 18 understand why the name of the piece seems appropriate. At first glance, the color, shape, and size of the piece stands out (like looking at a well-designed store front window) but upon further notice, you begin to see what lies beyond the facade. Reality is the inner struggle with how the world may see us and how we see ourselves - not always perfect, not always put together and not always ready for display.

Previous experience with outdoor installations? 7000.00 10000.00 Yes Yes Statement or explanation about the sculpture proposed for exhibit: The present visual art installation proposal is both interactive, multidisciplinary, and kinesthetic audio-visual sculpture. More concretely stated, it will be a multiphase comprehensive exposé on Mesoamerican lore and/or more specifically on a pre-Columbian notion of time. Here, there would be three simultaneous and concurrent installations that center on concrete poetry. All three will utilize plastic transparency films and acrylic or plexiglass. In the 1st will be as titled above (inserted images and/or dimensions above). While the second installation is called Cyclones in the DNA2: Double Helix/Haiku Transparencies in [Space] Time. While the 3rd, will be titled Dream Images: TransparenXcies Pyramid Shifts: 3D. In synthesis these sculptures are made with the two primary elements of plastic transparency films and acrylic/plexiglass in very specific sculptural proportions. Installation #1 will be two hollow cylinders on whose inside surface will be placed the transparencies. In the 2nd installation these same transparencies will make the shape of the X and Y chromosomes of the DNA double helix and the 3rd will be a plexiglass screen just as Installation #2 (i.e., 8 ft by 7 ft approx..) and in this case in the transparencies will be placed in the shape of a pyramid. My work is rooted in the original peoples and 1st nations so it’s original by default, therefore my visual art speaks for itself. The sculptures are a mirror and/or a mosaic of ideas in Maya - No Title PAAC 6-8-23 meeting packet page 48 hologram its thus you will see yourself when you view them, so its how far you are able to read this a multi-dimensional endeavor to keep. Describe materials and methods used in the fabrication of the sculpture proposed: Built from acrylic/plexiglass and plastic transparency films that will be sealed on the inside and will be encased. Will be fortified with metal plinth to secure sculpture.

Also, an added element can be a kinesthetic component where the sculptures are moveable or can rotate, as such. Your sculpture will be installed on a 4’ x 4’ cement base. Explain in detail how the sculpture would attach to the base. It will be bolted down on a plinth and secure to 4x4 cement base.

He maintains a robust studio practice exhibiting his artwork in museums and arts centers across the United States in over 50 group exhibitions as well as 10 solo shows. Notable venues include the Des Moines Art Center, Waterloo Center for the Arts, and the Spartanburg Art Museum. His work has been featured in national outdoor exhibitions across the country including the Chicago Sculpture Exhibit, SculptureWalk Sioux Falls, and Art on the Beltline in Atlanta. Dan has also completed 12 large-scale public sculpture commissions throughout the region most recently at the Clive Public Safety Building in Clive, Iowa. Dan works to educate the public on the importance of the arts and how communities can integrate arts in meaningful ways. He provides a unique perspective drawing from his experiences as a practicing professional public artist, an active member of public art committees and as a teacher. Dan also serves on several arts committees in the region. Currently, Dan teaches sculpture and is the Coordinator of the Public Art Incubator (PAI) at the University of Northern Iowa, a unique program where students can engage with professional artists in the production of their commissioned public art projects. Students are hired to assist in the fabrication of the artwork and work alongside of professional artists – providing a professional experience before they graduate. About the piece: Has the work already been fabricated? Existing Has the work been exhibited in an outdoor setting before? Yes Date of fabrication Width Height depth 8/5/2017 3 10.5 5 Retail price Insurance Valuation Over age 18? Previous experience with outdoor installations? 10000.00 8000.00 Yes Yes Statement or explanation about the sculpture proposed for exhibit: Architrave is a part of a series of artworks where I explore architectural details and composition. I take various architectural details and rescale and recontextualize them into sculptural artworks. i find that this challenges the viewer with elements that are familiar yet abstract enough to engage them in a visual dialogue. Describe materials and methods used in the fabrication of the sculpture proposed: Architrave is fabricated with 14g and 16g 304 stainless steel and 3/8" 5052 aluminum. All seams are full welded and finished. Perry - Architrave PAAC 6-8-23 meeting packet page 67 Describe what makes your sculpture suitable for outdoor display in adverse weather conditions such as high winds, rain, intense heat, snow and freezing temperatures Stainless steel and aluminum are very durable and able to withstand all weather conditions and public interaction. This sculpture has been exhibited in several outdoor sculpture exhibitions including Chicago, University of South Dakota, West Des Moines, and Sioux City and has proven to be very durable. Sculptures will be located in high traffic areas with unsupervised audiences of all ages. Describe any interactive components of your sculpture and any instructions or warnings that may be required: There aren't any intentional interactive elements. People do tend to take pictures or selfies through with some parts of the artwork. Your sculpture will be installed on a 4’ x 4’ cement base. Explain in detail how the sculpture would attach to the base. I would attach the artwork to the base with 4-6 3/8" x 4" tapcon style concrete anchors. Explain in detail needs for your installation including ladders, electricity, forklift, crane, lifting assistance, etc. I have all the tools necessary for installation. I would just need some assistance carrying the artworkAr. Typically can be carried by 2-3 people.
