The 2008 Sculpture Series includes: ? “Safety” by Brian Mita, is described by the artist as “a 6 foot tall fiberglass nightlight that is lit by a solar powered security light.” To bridge the gap between public art and public safety, the sculpture will be erected within the Parkview Gardens Neighborhood. The artist wants to add the subdued lighting in Clemens Gardens to support the idea that this is a safe garden, even after dark. This sculpture will be installed near the intersection of Clemens and Limit Avenues, 6270 Clemens Avenue, near the sites where many patrons of the Delmar Loop businesses often park. ? “The Rhythm Section” by Emily Silber is a public sculpture that resonates with the creative energy generated within the walls of the Center of Creative Arts and Washington University’s 560 (Trinity) Music Center. Silber has designed five flat dancing figures that stand on the ground in a cluster. Each figure is poised in a “moment of balance, feet in the air, as if they have just hit the accented beat in a song with a burst of movement.” This installation will be on the small island at the intersection of Trinity and Washington – between two centers that inspire our community in creativity, introspection, and collaboration.
