COOL GLOBES PUBLIC ART PROJECT 2007 In 2007, I participated in the public art display for the city of Chicago, called COOL GLOBES: HOT IDEAS FOR A COOLER PLANET. Artists developed visual ideas for large fiberglass globes, five feet in diameter, that would focus on specific issues that deal with the environment. My globe, “Intelligent Earth”, depicts the oceans of the earth as a brain. The continents of the earth display environmental programs and projects that can and will provide solutions to our global problems. We must use our BRAINS, our INTELLIGENCE, as a problem-solving force to remedy the environmental issues that face our home, the earth. We must respect and cherish our planet by inhabiting it intelligently. After several months of preparation and work, my globe was put on display in the small park in front of Navy Pier on Chicago’s lakefront. At the end of the summer, many globes were auctioned off. My globe now resides on permanent loan from the City of Chicago to the Chicago Public School, Jackson Language Academy. During that spring and summer, I also worked with middle grade students at Finkl Community Academy, a Chicago Public School, on similar ideas to help create a globe of their own. Finkl’s team of artists were awarded the Grand Prize in a competition of Chicagoland schools for their papier mache rendition of the global issue: Feeding the peoples of the World in an environmentally responsible way. |
