One of the best company blogs in the world (Signal vs. Noise by 37signals) recently posted about Two very different takes on public sculpture and art.
The article explains the differences between public art and sculptures in Chicago and Seattle.
When reflecting on the public art in Seattle: “Nice landscaping, nice setting, nice sculpture, but the lasting impression wasn’t made by the art, it was made by a sign (actually, about 10 signs).”
The article continues: “Contrast this with Chicago’s Millennium Park. Public art and architecture that is entirely interactive.”
These two different takes on art in public is interesting, and is great creative motivation for this week.
In one city you have art that is only for viewing, in the other city you have art that is interactive. Which city do you think gets more tourism for their public art and sculptures alone?
When someone is allowed to interact physically with a work of art, does that impact their perception of that artwork?
