AGENDA CAPTION:

Discuss And Consider A Resolution For Installation Of The "Lost In Wisconsin" Public Art Piece At The Southeast Corner of Beltway and Proton Drives.

BACKGROUND:

The 'Lost In Wisconsin' art piece was donated to the Addison Arbor Foundation by artist Nic Noblique. The art piece had been an outdoor installation and so the Arbor Foundation agreed to pay the cost to have the piece powder-coated in preparation for the installation. The piece was delivered to the Town of Addison on 8/27/2013 by the artist.

The placement of 'Lost in Wisconsin' was taken to Council on July 9th, 2013 (Item #R4) for approval along with two other pieces ('Cut One Plant One' by Nic Noblique and the 'untitled' plane sculpture for the Wright Brother and Wiley Post median). The approved location for the 'Lost In Wisconsin' was the southeast corner of Beltway and Proton Drives. Instead of being a stand-alone installation, the art piece was incorporated into the Beltway/Proton Pedestrian Connectivity Project as the central design feature. During a Council work session on 10/13/2015 (Recognition Garden at the corner of Beltway/Proton), the Council directed staff to delay installation of the art piece.

With the connectivity project now complete, Staff is seeking direction on how to proceed. Staff recommends installation of 'Lost in Wisconsin' at this location.

RECOMMENDATION:

Administration recommends approval.
