[Bittikoffer, Andrew] Rzeszów And Gainesville Installation Art

Written Concept

The goal of the artwork would be to represent some sort of bond between Gainesville and Rzeszow. I’m not sure what inspired me to make this, but it is supposed to look like a ceremonial item. When someone sees this artwork, I want them to understand the bond between sister cities, specifically Gainesville and Rzeszow.

It’s proportions would be (If stood up vertically, including the spheres) about 10 ft high and 2 feet wide for the handle, and the spheres at the ends would be about 4 feet wide. the spheres at the ends would probably be made of metal or a sort of non-transparent glass, the designs at the edge of the handle would be gold painted metal, and the handle in the middle would be red tinted glass, with two outlets on either side transferring energy to each other inside the red glass. If this were to be placed somewhere as a sculpture, it would be slanted diagonally.

I think it would go well outside the Cade museum next to Depot Park, with a little sign in front of the sculpture telling people about sister cities and stuff. I think it might also work inside the Cade museum. It could probably hang on the ceiling with the sign on one of the balconies on the upper floors pointing towards it.

btw, the image I’m talking about is the 4th image in the initial concepts batch assignment

Letter To Mayor Lauren Poe

Dear Mayor Lauren Poe,

My name is Andrew Bittikoffer. I’m a 6th grade student at P.K. Yonge, and I am designing a work of installation art to represent the friendship between Gainesville and Rzeszow.

The goal of the artwork is to represent the bond between Gainesville and Rzeszow. I didn’t really have a specific inspiration, but it’s supposed to look like a ceremonial piece, even though the legs make it look like a swing set. It’s supposed to make an archway, with the sculpture itself being the top part and the legs being the supports… okay I explained that poorly. But, when someone looks at it, I want them to understand how Gainesville and Rzeszow connect as sister cities.

The sculpture’s width (side to side) would be 10 feet, and about 7 feet off the ground, being lifted by the supports/legs. The spheres at both ends would be made of metal, one of them being painted blue, the other, white. The blue sphere would have a white cross on it, representing thr Rzeszow logo, and the white sphere would have a blue train on it, representing the Gainesville logo. There would be metal plates on the ends of the tube in the middle connecting to the spheres. They would be cut into 4 dome-like flat shapes surrounding the ends of the middle tube. They would then be painted gold. The tube in the middle will be transparent but also tinted red.

I can’t describe it’s location in Gainesville, but I think It is shown in the pictures i have provided, considering that you can access them. However, if it were to go in Rzeszow, it would go on a sidewalk (as an archway) leading to a fountain that has 3 lines of water streams extending from the middle.

I don’t intend for it to be built, I just thought it would look cool. But it would be cool if it was built. I’m not sure what purpose it would serve, just something for people to stop and look at. I’m not sure how it would affect the future, and I can’t draw trains.

Thank you for your consideration,

Andrew Bittikoffer

[Neiss, Jason] Mejdlaya Installation Art

Written Concept

Two trees. Oak and Cedar. Gainesville and Mejdlaya. Growing yet eternal. A lasting friendship.

Letter to the Mayor

Dear Mayor Lauren Poe,

My name is Jason Neiss. I’m an 8th grade student at P.K. Yonge, and I am designing a work of installation art to represent the friendship between Gainesville and Mejdlaya. 

I’d like to propose a large sculpture, approximately 7 feet high, 15 feet wide, and 3 feet deep – just taller than a human being to inspire awe while remaining approachable. This sculpture, in the form of a ball sliding (representing the way we and Mejdlaya connected) surrounding a miniature wetlands habitat (to represent Gainesville), would embody the relationship between Mejdlaya and Gainesville that began in 2006. Please see the attached drawings for more detail. The sculpture would be metal to be in line with most of the other sculptures around Gainesville, while also being strong and resistant to weather. 

Ideally, the sculpture would be installed prominently in Gainesville and in Mejdlaya. The Sister Cities Pavilion in a park would be a perfect location. Please see the attached visualizations.

I hope my artwork will inspire citizens of Gainesville to learn about Mejdlaya and Lebanon. I hope that it will be a physical reminder of our friends in other countries. When someone looks at it, I hope they think about how big the world is, and how we have friends on the other side of the world that want to meet us and share their culture with us. It will bring our cities closer together, it will celebrate our friendship, and it will make the world at once more wondrous and more accessible to the people of Mejdlaya and Gainesville.

Thank you for your consideration,

Jason Neiss

[Pardue, Aubrey] NJEIS Installation Art

Written Concept

An orange blossom chilling out with a plum blossom.

Letter to the Head of PKY

Dear Dr. Hayes, 

My name is Aubrey Pardue and i’m a student at P.K. Yonge. The goal of my artwork is to show our friendship with NJEIS. 

The inspiration of my artwork came from some other pieces of artwork I’ve seen. My artwork represents our bond with NJEIS and to represent that I thought that an orange blossom on a branch with a plum blossom would represent that very well. The size is the way it is because that’s how big i feel it should be. I chose the materials because I feel that will work the best. The shape is the way it is because my artwork is supposed to represent a plum blossom and an orange blossom on a branch. The reason why my statue has a plum blossom with an orange blossom on a branch is because Florida’s state flower is an orange blossom and China’s national flower is a plum blossom. 

The primary location is at PKY. I chose PKY to be my primary location because my artwork is supposed to represent the friendship of our school and NJEIS school. I would prefer my artwork to be located in the new building but if the new building isn’t a good place for it I am willing for it to go anywhere it works best.

What my art will do for PKY is that it will bring more awareness to our sister city. Some students might see it and want to get involved with the program. In the future people might see it and know more about the history. 

Please take my art into consideration. 

Thank you,

Aubrey

[Ho, Terrence] Mejdlaya Installation Art Template

Written Concept

Two trees. Oak and Cedar. Gainesville and Mejdlaya. Growing yet eternal. A lasting friendship.

Letter to the Mayor

Dear Mayor Lauren Poe,

My name is Terrence Ho. I’m an 8th grade student at P.K. Yonge, and I am designing a work of installation art to represent the friendship between Gainesville and Mejdlaya. 

I’d like to propose large twin sculptures, approximately seven feet high, seven feet wide, and two feet deep – just taller than a human being to inspire awe while remaining approachable. These wooden sculpture, in the form of a cedar tree (to represent Mejdlaya) and an oak tree (to represent Gainesville), would embody the growing relationship between Medjlaya and Gainesville that began in 2015. Please see the attached drawings for more detail. The sculpture would be fashioned from pressure treated live oak/pine or cedar to evoke the native flora of Gainesville/Mejdlaya while also being strong and resistant to weather. 

Ideally, the sculptures would be installed prominently in both Gainesville and Mejdlaya. The Sister Cities Pavilion in front of City Hall in Gainesville would be a perfect location. The proposed location in Mejdlaya is yet to be determined. Please see the attached visualizations.

I hope my artwork will inspire citizens of Gainesville to learn about Mejdlaya and Lebanon. I hope that it will be a physical reminder of our friends in other countries. When someone looks at it, I hope they think about how big the world is, and how we have friends on the other side of the world that want to meet us and share their culture with us. It will bring our cities closer together, it will celebrate our friendship, and it will make the world at once more wondrous and more accessible to the people of Mejdlaya and Gainesville.
