As our resident artist, his creation will become part of Landmark Center’s permanent collection. Return to Landmark Center to experience his work. “Daybreak in Rice Park” Saint Paul artist Bill Hosko captured the first rays of sun on a wintry morning in Saint Paul’s historic Rice Park. Did you know that Rice Park pre-dates New York’s Central Park by one year? Artist Unknown 2nd Floor—South Stair “Lady of the Fountain” This French bronze, circa 1905, once graced the courtyard of Saint Paul’s City Hall Park. The artist and foundry are unknown, but her classically inspired beauty and gracefulness endure. Merry DeCourcy Philip Blackburn Philip is a public artist specializing in sound; a composer/environmental sound-artist who explores the use of sound in public art. Courtrooms 408 & 430 & 1st Floor—Cortile South Wall “Chief Justice Warren E. Burger” • “Justice Harry A. Blackmun” “The Honorable John B. Sanborn” • “Elizabeth Willet Musser” Merry’s original oil paintings have captured some of the most influential and prominent figures who have called Saint Paul home. Cecilia Schiller 1st Floor—5th St. Entrance “A Cultural Marketplace” Cecilia’s forté is engineering and crafting automata. She sculpts wood to create objects or scenes that come to life to tell a story and delight the viewer. Turn the hand-crank to set it in motion. www.forecastpublicart.org Exhibit Guide to Works of Art Within a ‘Work of Art’ Anna Metcalfe June 9 - August 31, 2016 1st Floor—Cortile South Stair “Letters to Landmark” Anna was Landmark Center’s 2015 Summer Arts Discovery resident artist and created, “Letters to Landmark.” Anna invited everyone to share their memories and stories about this beloved landmark in “letters” that were transferred onto handmade porcelain envelopes, which are suspended on a metal grid of Saint Paul. Her art recalls the building’s days as the Post Office for the area. Summer Arts Discovery is generously funded by the Mardag Foundation, the F.R. Bigelow Foundation, and the Saint Paul Cultural Star Program Located on the 1st Floor or visit: www.landmarkcenter.org Discover Art ... in a Work of Art Cecilia Schiller “Catch A Wave” North Gallery Angela Davis Central Stair - 1st Landing “Brothers” Perpetual Ping-Pong! This hands-on art is representative of “automata”: a machine designed to follow a predetermined sequence of operations. Turn the crank and ride the wave! Asia Ward North Gallery “Puddle and Grass” Chris Williams “Untitled: #1 #2 #3” North Gallery “Lost in Space” Man and myth come together in this prehistoric depiction of a horse long since gone...or did it ever exist? After reading the exhibit story...you decide! Keren Kroul Polygons and parallelograms are rigid, familiar, and conventional boundaries. Chris does not let those conventions of conformity constrain his freedom of expression. St. Paul Slim East Balcony “Cloud Violet” South Balcony “United Front #6” Lost in an electronic world of her own, this young lady is oblivious to us and the world around her. Texting, Snapchat, Instagram: it’s a whole new universe. Life influences art. Ann Klefstad Galleria North Balcony “Mesohippus Mirabilis” Angela captures the special bond between brothers, whether siblings, or ‘brothers’ in a greater community. Family is family. You’ll never look at a “mere” puddle the same way. It’s an eco-system unto itself, bursting with depth and life. Look deep into the topography of this puddle. Judd Nelson Michael Bahl Unity brings hope, progress, understanding, and peace. Slim’s work truly unites our community. Look closely: the entire background is comprised of the signatures, tags and messages of others. Is it a mosaic? An essay on geometry? Eight individual works of art? You are the beholder what do you see? Sharol Nau South Stair Landing “White Goldbach” Prime numbers. Geometry. Patterns. Goldbach’s Conjecture becomes art on canvas. Not good at math? Not to worry. Art doesn’t ask us to “know”… only to think and experience. North Lobby “Living Room” If the world is home to man and beast, then there can be no doubt that for many creatures the forest is, indeed, the best room in the house. *On exhibit after June 15.
