• AIPP Project: Palmer Events Center • Artist(s): Recommended Artist: Amy Landesberg; Alternate: Shan Shan Sheng • Phase: Selection Process Recommendation VOTE • Sponsoring Department: Austin Convention Center • Project Budget: $622,640 • Council District: 5 • Project Manager: Ryan Runcie ARTS COMMIS S ION ME E TING DATE : MO NDAY, MAY 20, 2024 Recommended Artist: Amy Landesberg Palmer Events Center "The artist has a unique take on use/reuse of materials and their relevance to the space's function, as well as an informed integration of technology with nature. For example the airport car rental installation using tail lights (left side, an excellent detail) to create a Swarm to reflect both nature and the nature of car use is brilliant. Visually her work is stunning both up close and at a distance. Her use of color with form is likely to create a pleasing balance with the architecture of the Palmer." "Amy's survey of submitted artwork showcased a timeless elegance mixed with contemporary edge that was both beautiful and impactful. Her repurposing of found material sends a visual environmental friendly message without being overbearing. Additionally I found that her use of more abstract design offers a versatility that would be perfect for the Palmer's multiple events." "Amy Landsberg is the correct choice that I chose originally as my recommendation for Palmer Events Center Artist. Their choice of patterns and colors drew me in as a spectator and found that their artistry would be engaging for the section of Palmers that it will be featured in. I look forward to seeing the final design that will be installed." Recommended Artist: Amy Landesberg Palmer Events Center "The artist has a unique take on use/reuse of materials and their relevance to the space's function, as well as an informed integration of technology with nature.
