Reimagining Public Sculptures

Reimagining Public Sculptures is an in-class proposal for the reading room area at Chicago Cultural Center. The project is a reexamination and recreation of Alexander Calder's public sculpture Flamingo. Drawing from its original form, the artist is interested in how aspects like scale and material can affect ways of interaction between public sculptures and human bodies. 

 

Public sculptures are genuinely massive, exposed, and made of hard and durable materials such as metal and stone. By scaling down and altering its material, this soft installation transforms space in a completely different manner.
