i am excited for a new era of public art projects. there is so much wonderful public art from the past (statue of liberty, rockefeller plaza, the arch at washington square park, etc) that unite people both physically and conceptually. America’s identity is a wonderful example of a diverse and collaborative community. this presidency, these wars, and this economic downturn are a chance for a renaissance of ideals, ideas, and symbols that will gravitate people together toward a better future and a better understanding of American values.

In Denver, CO It is unlawful to lend your vacuum cleaner to your next-door neighbor.
In Pueblo, CO It is illegal to let a dandelion grow within the city limits.

Public art is an important element of a city. In these dire times, it’s important to display on a mass scale the creative work of people. While I don’t think the Gates or the Waterfalls were that inspiring as pieces of art, the raw idea of a project that big is.

glad to hear the future isn’t bleak, and i’d love to see how the revised budgets for these projects affect the size and scale of them…
