Council Member’s Report In the absence of our Council Member Liaison, Stefany Brot, a report was not presented to the Commission. Committee Reports Sculpture Show Robert Bernstein gave his report on the Sculpture Show. Everything was moving along quite well. Robert presented the concerns of the Commission to Ron and the students. In the case of Mound City, the issues of visibility and safety were addressed. In order to move the location of the exhibit the cost of the project would increase greatly as the site originally chosen is located near the materials to be used in the sculpture. In order to increase visibility, it was proposed to play a video of the sculpture at Centennial Commons and/or display the model of the work and a map of its location at Centennial Commons. It was suggested that the same could be done for other works as well in order to increase their visibility and impact. In regards to safety, Ron assured Robert that he would be present for each installation and that he would inspect the site himself for any problems. For the installation on Verbal Abuse, the student is looking into relocating her work to the median on Midland. This strip of land belongs to St. Louis County and she was seeking permission from the county to install her work on the site. It was suggested that the student contact Barb Fraser in order to help gain County approval. The Public/Private installation will include a sign provided by the Commission titling the performance. The student reported that during the performance, he will also be engaging the public and letting them know his purpose. st The awards reception will be held on Sunday, April 1, instead of the Sunday following the Photo Show event. This is due to Easter falling on Sunday, April th 8. The Sculpture Show awards reception will be at 2:30 PM in Centennial Commons. The commission will be responsible for providing desserts. The reception will include a presentation by Robert then Ron will speak followed by the students. The models of the works will be on display and all the works will be installed by that date. Tom announced that the Commission would be receiving $500 from a student who participated in the show last year. Part of his project included returning the $500 worth of pennies used in his sculpture. Tom also announced that Annie Losher, who was chosen to install her flower tiles in Jackson Park with the help of young students, was forced to withdraw her participation due to her removal from Washington University for personal reasons.
