V. Discussion Item a. Site Design for the Sculpture Titled Buster Welch and Little Peppy, Recently Gifted by the

American Cutting Horse Association Foundation to be Installed at Gate 42 along Trail Drive in the Will Rogers Memorial Center, 3401 West Lancaster Avenue (76107)

i. Report of Staff – Jenny Conn Conn recounted that on December 9, 2019 the Art Commission approved the Ad Hoc Gifts and Loans Committee’s recommendation to accept a bronze sculpture titled, Buster Welch and Little Peppy, by Kelly Graham and site enhancements, pending final site plan review. Commissioners had expressed concerns that design of the pedestals was not fully complete and did not show dimensions for spaces between existing infrastructure. The Commission also express concern that the proximity of proposed improvements might compromise a nearby established tree. Staff was directed to work with the donor and stakeholders to develop a final site plan.

The new site plan presented tonight clearly shows that the existing sidewalks and ADA ramp will be accessible. While the public access space between the sculpture site and the support building will be slightly decreased. It is not an issue for City’s Public Events staff. The revised site plan shows additional details for the donor wall and additional plaques and the dimensional relationships between the sculpture and a planned bench and the tree.

ii. Presentation – David Stanford, Hahnfeld Hoffer & Stanford and Laura Wood,

National Cutting Horse Association Foundation Wood explained that the NCHA Foundation is the charitable arm of the National Cutting Horse Association and raises funds to preserve western heritage history, grant scholarships, and for education and promotion of the sport, as well as equine research.

Wood stated that the sculpture is appropriate for this location because Buster Welch, a cutting legend, is credited with bringing the rodeo and equine sports to the Will Rogers Memorial Center. The donors for this project include the King Ranch, James and Judy Clement, and Rex Tillerson.

Wood clarified there will only be one additional plaque with information about the King Ranch at the site and that the sculpture illustrated in tonight’s presented is a representation of the actual sculpture.

Stanford clarified the dimensional relationships and materials noting a preference for the style and location for the King Ranch plaque on a raised “pillow” plinth in the south landscaped bed.

iii. Discussion

Commissioner Casler Price and Talambus expressed concern that the donor wall may be too visually prominent in relationship to the sculpture and suggested alternative ways to commemorate the donors. Wood commented that the names would be etched into the pedestal and that she and Stanford would work together to consider a more organic approach.

Commissioner Lee stated that all previous concerns have been addressed. Conn stated that staff will continue to work with the donors as they prepare for site excavation.

[Commissioner Tucker joined the teleconference after experiencing technical difficulties.]

VI. Action Items a. Approval of Preliminary Design by Artist Laura Walters for the Rockwood Clubhouse,

Rockwood Municipal Golf Course, 1851 Jacksboro Hwy, Fort Worth, TX 76114 (Council District 2)

i. Report of Staff – Anne Allen Walter’s Preliminary Design Contract was executed on October 15, 2019.On November 13, 2019 Walters met with Project Core Team to gather input prior to beginning the Preliminary Design for the Rockwood Clubhouse Public Art Project.

Artist Presentation- Laura Walters Walters proposed a free-standing stainless-steel sculpture for the Rockwood Clubhouse. The design was influenced by elements of a golf swing combined with the spiral form of the ammonite fossils found in Rockwood Park. The upright form echoes the trunks and canopy of the heritage oak trees and stalks of flowers at the site. The artist’s design is a response to the Project Core Team’s suggestion that the artwork relate to elements of nature in Rockwood Park. The piece will be a painted a yellow-orange or “sunset” orange to contrast with the sky and the greens of the golf course. Walters proposed the sculpture be lit at night with cobalt blue light. Walters will get a bid from Ellen Fabrication to fabricate, transport and install the piece. The sculpture will be approximately 20 feet tall and weigh 1400-1600 pounds. The linearity of the form will allow for the casting of shadows on the ground, an important component of the work for Walters. The sculpture will be anchored to a pier that is 8-10 foot in the ground and secured by a rebar cage.

ii. Comments - Project Core Team Members

Council member Flores commented that he liked how the sculpture translates the motion of a golf swing and combines that with the natural world. When asked about maintenance, Walters noted that the paint she plans to use is an outdoor paint that can be touched up on site and does not anticipate other maintenance issues with the artwork.

Other members of the Project Core Team commented favorably about the design and color of the sculpture. They asked Walters to be mindful of the shadows cast from the sculpture to ensure they do not interfere with the greens or tee boxes and to consider how the elevation of the sculpture interacts with the site lines of the clubhouse.

iii. Citizens’ Presentation

None.

iv. Discussion – Fort Worth Art Commission Commissioners liked the idea of the golf swing motion and the overall design of the piece. Several Commissioners asked that Walters refine the color of the sculpture and add more texture and motion to the “golf swing strokes”. Other Commissioners liked the artist’s proposed color. Walters commented that the orange color presented in the PowerPoint is slightly different than what she envisions for the finished artwork.

A motion was made by Commissioner Campbell and seconded by Commissioner Thompson to approve the Preliminary Design by Artist Laura Walters for the Rockwood Clubhouse, Rockwood Municipal Golf Course, 1851 Jacksboro Hwy, Fort Worth, TX 76114 (Council District 2). The motion passed (8-0-1)

b. Approve Project Outline for a Mural Artist in Residence with the Graffiti Abatement Program, Park and Recreation Department (Citywide)

i. Report of Staff - Jenny Conn

Conn briefly overview of FWPA mural commissions and described how the program has partnered with the City’s Graffiti Abatement Program (GAP) in the past. GAP is a program of the Park and Recreation Department (PARD).

Funds were set aside by the Art Commission in 2012 for a partnership with GAP but the project was not implemented. Conn introduced GAP Coordinator Elizabeth O’Neill who presented GAP history and confirmed that a partnership with FWPA will help establish program goals for the next five years.

Local artists from the FWPA Pre-Qualified List, along with artists GAP nominates will be invited to submit qualifications. The selected artist will work with GAP staff to assess existing program structures, identify tactical imperatives, and develop strategies to support outcomes and long-term goals. The budget for this project is $15,000.

ii. Presentation – Elizabeth O’Neill, Gap Program Coordinator, PARD

GAP identifies areas in the city that have been chronically tagged and works with local volunteers to design and paint murals. This has been proven to lessen the amount of graffiti at those locations. O’Neill added that GAP is a volunteer-based program and does not pay the artists. The Artist in Residence Program goal is to enhance the level of artwork, be reflective of the community, and involve more professional artists.

iii. Citizens’ Presentations

None.

iv. Discussion – Fort Worth Art Commission Commissioners responded positively to this program and agreed that murals are a good way to prevent graffiti.

Commissioner Tucker urged staff to refrain from using phases such as “youth at risk” or “community at risk” in program materials. Instead he suggested inclusive language such as “youth of promise”.

Commissioner Pena asked how many murals are planned for this year. O’Neill reported that three murals are planned for 2021 each in different City Council Districts.

Commissioner Talambas asked for clarification on what the artist’s duties will be and this action item. Conn stated that, working with GAP staff, the artist will assess the rewards and challenges of the program and identify future program goals. The artist will also identify ways to build on the community engagement that GAP has established.

Peters added that staff could provide progress reports to the Art Commission throughout the project.

[Commissioner Hill joined the meeting after experiencing technical difficulties and Commissioner Hendrix

did not respond to the roll call vote for the following action item.]

A motion was made by Commissioner Tucker and seconded by Commissioner Casler Price to approve the Project Outline for a Mural Artist in Residence with the Graffiti Abatement Program, Park and Recreation Department (Citywide). The motion passed (8-0-1)

c. Make Recommendation to City Council to Commission Quayola to Create a Projection Mapping Video Based on his Proposal for the Pioneer Tower Iconic Public Art Project at the Will Rogers Memorial Center, 3401 West Lancaster Avenue, 76107 (Council District 7)

i. Report of Staff – Martha Peters Peters gave a brief overview of this project, the artist’s proposal, and the actions at the last Art Commission meeting. The Public Art staff recommends the Art Commission make a recommendation to City Council to authorize and Artwork Commission Agreement with Quayola to: (1) Create projection mapping videos based on “Chapter 1 – Trees Laser Scanning” and “Chapter 3 – Computational Animal Paintings”; and, (2) Amend the agreement to commission “Chapter 2” – Computational Landscape Paintings” if non-City funding is committed to the project in a timely manner.

The travel budget for Quayola is $14,000 however if travel is restricted due to COVID-19, the travel budget will be used to hire local artists to collect data for the artist under his direction.

Peters also reported that she worked with Matt Murry to customize the standard Artwork Commission Agreement to address new media artworks and changing technologies.

She announced that he National Endowment for the Arts approved a $10,000 ArtWorks grant for this project and the TCA Cultural District grant is pending.

ii. Comments - Project Core Team Members

None.

iii. Citizens’ Presentations None.

iv. Discussion – Fort Worth Art Commission

Commissioner Hill asked if there were already local artists in mind to help Quayola so the project does not fall behind schedule. Peters responded that she is developing a list of artists will reach out to Commissioner Talambas and the museums for suggestions. Also, Curator Choi, and Quayola are drafting a job description for the artists.

Commissioners agreed that Chapters 1 and 3 are the stronger chapters and are excited about this project.

A motion was made by Commissioner Casler Price and seconded by Commissioner Thompson to approve the recommendation to City Council to Commission Quayola to Create a Projection Mapping Video Based on his Proposal for the Pioneer Tower Iconic Public Art Project at the Will Rogers Memorial Center, 3401 West Lancaster Avenue, 76107 (Council District 7). The motion passed (9-0-0)

d. Make Recommendation to City Council to Commission Refik Anadol to Create a Projection Mapping Video Based on his Proposal for the Pioneer Tower Iconic Public Art

Project at the Will Rogers Memorial Center, 3401 West Lancaster Avenue, 76107 (Council District 7)

i. Report of Staff – Martha Peters Peters reviewed Anadol’s proposal. In order to create a piece that tells this story, archival data will be gathered from local libraries and museums, as well as city institutions and the community. Upon collecting this data, Anadol’s work will allow us to “explore Fort Worth through the mind a of a machine, deploying machine learning algorithms trained on data sets to visualize a consciousness of Fort Worth previously unseen. By projecting a final audio/visual performance onto the façade of Pioneer Tower, this project is a collective performance and journey into the imagination, memories and dreams of this unique and indeed pioneering town”. All four proposed chapters of this design fit within the proposed budget of $100,000. Anadol’s travel budget is $3,500.

ii. Comments - Project Core Team Members

None. iii. Citizens’ Presentations

None. iv. Discussion – Fort Worth Art Commission

Commissioner Hill asked there will be any travel issues for the artist. Peters responded that there should not be any issues, adding that Anadol has already contacted museums and other institutions to discuss using their collections as data.

Commissioner Campbell asked if the projections can be seen in bad weather. Peters responded that there will be tents to cover the projectors. If for some reason visibility is low on one night, they still have the whole weekend to present to show.

A motion was made by Commissioner Talambas and seconded by Commissioner Tucker to approve the recommendation to City Council to Commission Anadol to Create a Projection Mapping Video Based on his Proposal for the Pioneer Tower Iconic Public Art Project at the Will Rogers Memorial Center, 3401 West Lancaster Avenue, 76107 (Council District 7).

Peters reported that she had the opportunity through the City to meet with urban planners, architects, and historic preservationist from the Republic of Georgia. This was part of the Open World Leadership Program of the Library of Congress.

VIII. Announcements of Commissioners Commissioner Talambas stated that the philosophy of Public Art is the enhancement of our community’s well-being. He stated that every vote the Commission passes is a vote on whose voices will or will not be heard, and what conversation will or will not occur. When Commissioners make votes on public works, appoint Project Core Team members, when artists are chosen, they need to make sure that underserved voices are at the table.

“The Commission must stand against overfunded militarized police and their brutality as it stands in the way of what we do as Art Commissioners” and that the commission must be supportive of services for lower income earners, people of color, and underserved communities. Talambas asked Commissioners to “keep in mind the memory of George Floyd and Atatiana Jefferson, and the values of the Black Lives Matter movement”.

IX. Future Agenda Items Commissioner Tucker proposed three questions for discussion at the next Art Commission meeting:

1. What might we commission as an expression of art that contributes to a powerful diverse movement for racial equity in our city, our nation, and our world?

2. How might art be a catalyst for good in the midst of brazen disparities and brutal inequities

of systemic racism?

3. What can we best do as an Art Commission to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion at this moment?

PROJECT NAME: LAKE COMO PARK

REPORT: Design and Fabrication Update

PROJECT SUMMARY

Fabrication Underway

• Natural wood benches completed (to be attached to metal support on-site) • One of four panels engraved • All COR-TEN steel pieces cut to size

Design Update

• Engraving depths will be 1/32” and 1/8” • Text edit to Parade Panel: it was later discussed that this panel could refocus more on the community effort,

with less emphasis on the headline. • Text edit to Letter Panel: after a meeting with the Amon Carter Foundation, careful thought has been given to a

few text revisions at the recommendation of Commissioner Tucker. The changes (shown below) are considered to be more historically accurate and were received favorably by the Lake Como Leadership at their meeting on April 27, 2020. These changes were reviewed by PARD Interim Director David Creek and The Amon Carter Foundation.

TIMELINE Pending COVID-19 updates, it is possible the artwork may completed this calendar year.

PROJECT NAME: LAKE COMO PARK

REPORT: Design and Fabrication Update

Pictured Left: Original Letter Panel Text. Right: Revised Text (typed, to be in same font styles as original design)

After careful consideration, Commissioner Tucker recommended the text be adjusted to more accurately reflect the history of this gift of land. Therefore, the first excerpt from Mr. Carter’s letter has been omitted, and in its place:

In response to the City of Fort Worth’s request for the Lake Como property for use as a “Negro park,” Mr. Amon G. Carter, Sr. wrote the following:

Other changes include the park establishment date moved to the top of the panel, and present-day quote attributed.
