The Duluth Public Art Committee has selected a piece of kinetic art for placement in the Parsons Alley Plaza. Developers of Parsons Alley have also indicated approval of the sculpture choice.
The Seattle, Washington-based artist, Andrew Carson, titles the 18-foot tall ‘wind sculpture’ Phoenix. According to his website, “I create my sculpture to interact with people and solve riddles of landscape both interior and exterior. Using a varied palette—electronics, illustration, the camera and mechanical systems I work very hard for elegant solutions for demanding problems of space.”
The $22,800 kinetic sculpture will be purchased through the Public Art Acquisition Funds. If approved by the city council, as expected, on Feb. 13, the art piece should be completed and installed within six months.
