SUMMARY Castilleja School has submitted the attached packet for Final Review by the Public Art Commission for public art in private development. The Public Art Commission is asked to give feedback on the planned public art for Castilleja School and approve their public art plan. DISCUSSION The scope of the construction makes this project subject to the Public Art for Private Development Ordinance. Castilleja School plans to modernize the existing site, replacing four older buildings with a new academic building, building a new swimming pool, and constructing an underground parking facility. The applicant began meeting with Public Art and Planning staff in 2019 to discuss the public art process. The applicant indicated their interest in commissioning art onsite rather than pay an in-lieu contribution to the Public Art Fund. The public art application submitted in March 2022 indicates a public art budget estimate of $850,000. The Public Art Commission had their initial review of the project April 18, 2022. The presentation was led by representatives of Castilleja School. While there was some support for having art at the Embarcadero Road corner, the PAC had a more in-depth conversation about art integrated into the site. Commissioners reviewed the submitted packet and provided initial recommendations to consider public accessibility when thinking about suitable locations for the placement of artwork(s), thematic approach to artworks, and community engagement during the design development process. Commissioners requested that the Castilleja School staff return to the PAC in Summer 2022 for an interim review when they have an art consultant on board and a better formulated art plan and theme in place. 1 Packet Pg. 6 Item No. 1.Page 2 of 2 In September 2022 the project returned to PAC for an interim review of the art plan. Art consultant Tessa Wilcox from Artsource presented the project background to the Commissioners, including information about the school’s artist selection, criteria, and process with a purpose of commissioning site-specific, original artwork for the site. The consultant provided details about the overall public art project budget and timeline, and shared images of some potential art placement locations. There was some discussion about considering public accessibility, as well as appropriate themes and types of artwork, methods of engagement with the students and local community. TIMELINE The project has received approval and is planning to begin construction this summer. Upon approval from the Public Art Commission, they will receive a notice that they have fulfilled this portion of the public art requirement and will be cleared by Public Art for a building permit.

Her works have a quiet monumentality, capable of transporting a viewer outside time and space far enough to offer an opportunity for contemplation of civilization from an objective point of view. Each sculpture depicts a different site in the landscape through which an active fault line cuts, and represents the displacement of the landscape due to the particular kind of tectonic movement associated with each site. When executed at scale, these sculptures mechanize the invisible geologic forces that generate our landscape. White lives and works in Brisbane, and earned her BFA from The Cooper Union College in New York. She has exhibited since 2012 with Moskowitz Bayse Gallery in Los Angeles, and has been included in group exhibitions in New York, Texas, and Germany.

For Castilleja,Kylie White proposes an equatorial sundial.Sundials mark places of cultural significance,especially those of science and learning.She feels it is befitting of a school like Castilleja which is dedicated to diversity,collaboration, and curiosity as well as being perfectly situated in Palo Alto,which is known for technological innovation.She believes a sundial will underscore that mission. Made for a given latitude,sundials are,by their nature,site specific,they belong to their location,and in many ways are formed by it.As such,the dial must face True North and be relatively unobstructed,so she has selected the corner of Bryant and Kellogg as the best potential site.In addition to anchoring the site as a space for reflection,the sculpture can serve as a measuring instrument and teaching device for students and the surrounding community. Community Feedback:Beautiful co-joining of history and science;sophisticated looking,beautiful object;wonderful addition to Palo Alto community,interesting and functional. Sundial for 37°25' 59.736'' N, 122°9' 1.98’’ W Bronze, basalt and steel Height 6’, Diameter 5’, dial: 48 1 Packet Pg. 19 Kylie White Sundial for 37°25' 59.736'' N, 122°9' 1.98’’ W, 2023 Bronze, basalt and steel Height 6’, Diameter 5’, dial: 48” Scale model Unlike any sundial you have ever seen,this one will indicate the time using an original marking system which is derived from the relative amounts of light and dark throughout the day,as opposed to numeral indices.Sundials are a means of relating one’s own position in space to that of the sun by indicating measurable intervals of changing light. Sundials are for reflecting on scale and the potentially infinite expanse of the cosmos. While you will be able to use this dial to deduce the hour,the overall intent is more meditative -drawing you into the liberated space of pure phenomenology. The dial itself will be a bronze disc,propped up by its gnomon,(the shadow-casting rod) at an angle parallel to the equatorial plane from the school’s latitude.It sits on top a hexagonal specimen of basalt,which has a large hole drilled in the center to reveal part of the steel structure below.The steel frame,which will hold the basalt in place,will be made of I-beams and steel plates that have been fabricated into pedestal legs and galvanized to add a corrosion resistant,crystalline finish to the base.The three-legged base shown is an example to be further refined in the final design process.It will create an elegant reveal and sense of lightness,without compromising stability.Including a circular concrete pad to be poured below grade,the entire construction stands just under 6 feet tall.Over many years outside,the bronze will patina and change from a bright copper color to a dark brown,and finally into the stable verdigris patina that all bronze sculptures are destined to become. 1 Packet Pg. 20 Kylie White –Proposed Location Location: Kellogg Avenue, near Bryant corner.

She has completed large-scale public artworks for the Miami Beach Convention Center, Metro- North’s Yankee Stadium station, New York’s Queen’s Plaza subway station, the Chicago’s Francisco station, Boston’s South Station, the San Francisco Airport, the Philadelphia International Airport, the Andover Internal Revenue Service Offices and the Flemish National Architect, among others. She is the author of New York Beautification Project, published by G. R. Miller & Co. in 2005 and recently reissued in paperback, and her work has both been included in and been the subject of numerous books including:Ellen Harvey: Mirror, published by the Pennsylvania Academy.

Places we love disappear. Places we have hoped to visit cease to exist. The forces of war, time, ideology, greed and natural disaster are constantly remaking places that we love but cannot control or save. The Disappointed Tourist is inspired by the urge to repair what has been broken. It makes symbolic restitution, literally remaking lost sites, at the same time that it acknowledges the inadequacy of such restitution. It is inspired both by old postcards and by the tradition of tourist painting –both the paintings produced for wealthy tourists to take home and the touring paintings that allowed pre-photographic viewers to experience far-off places. It attempts to honor the trauma underlying the nostalgia that results from our collective and individual losses, while celebrating the human attachment to places both real and aspirational. It tries to create a level playing field in which personal losses and larger cultural losses can meet and be recognized and create a new conversation about our love for our physical environment.” Ellen Harvey, 2021 1 Packet Pg. 28 Ellen Harvey Repeat, 2013 terrazzo A superfluous church in Bossuit, Belgium, originally built to replace a church destroyed in World War I, was made into an artificial ruin to create a new outdoor public space for a village. The new terrazzo floor represented both the elements that were removed during demolition (pillars, ceiling arches, altars etc.) and the shadow of the ruins of the church at the end of World War I. The title references the continuing cycle of destruction and reconstruction experienced by the church since the early Middle Ages. 1 Packet Pg. 29 Ellen Harvey–Proposed Sculpture Harvey proposes melding the Castilleja tradition of planting a tree or shrub on Founder’s Day with a larger exploration of Castilleja’s relationship to the fight for women’s education. Book Circle will consist of a bronze circular tree containing or supporting 118 books - one book for each year of the school’s existence to date at the time of the opening of the new campus and one for the future.The books will all be authored by women and will be selected by the students at the school,providing an opportunity for a robust and exciting celebration of women’s contributions to the arts and sciences. The goal is to inspire students to consider the ways in which they can contribute to the future.The 118h book will be untitled –a book symbolizing all that the students will contribute to the future.

Miki’s works are an explanation of the Shinto concept of the Tsukumogami yōkai—shapeshifters that take the form of commonplace objects and undefinable forms. By engaging with these ancient mythologies, Miki hopes to forge new collective narratives that express contemporary cultural values, echoing dichotomies of human identity and transformation. Miki’s characters embody the contrary characteristics of being both sacred and secular, animate and inanimate and reflect the nuances of nonbinary spaces across gender, biracial identities and her own experience as a Japanese immigrant woman living between two cultures. She has exhibited throughout the Bay Area at venues including Headlands Center for the Arts, Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, Kala Art Institute, and The Lab. She was a resident artist at The Wassaic Project (Wassaic, NY), Vermont Studio Center (Johnson, VT), Project 387 (Gualala, CA), Kamiyama Artists in Residency (Tokushima, Japan), Facebook Artist in Residence (Menlo Park, CA) and the de Young Museum with an accompanying solo exhibition in 2016. She received the 2018 Inga Maren Otto Fellowship from the Watermill Center in New York and 2017 Artist Fellow Award from Kala Art Institute in Berkeley. Her works are in the collections of the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, Facebook, The Byrd Hoffman Watermill Foundation, New York and private collections. Miki received her MFA from San Jose State University and has been on the adjunct faculty at University of California Berkeley, Davis, and Mills College.

She creates the semi-abstract, sculptural forms utilizing brilliant colors and sets them into a magical environment suggesting another reality.

The simple translation of Yōkai would be something like ghosts,deities,or preternatural creatures.Yōkai appear in different forms like humans,animals,natural objects,or man-made objects. Shapeshifters are inherently boundless in their nature as they continue shapeshifting throughout their existence.They do not conform to accepted identities,instead,they generate new identities.Miki sees these ancient yōkai characters as offering interesting narratives that are relative to our current society,especially to young adults.In our non-binary society where multiculturalism,gender fluidity,and biracial identity seem to be more the norm,our identities have become more complex than in the past. Community Feedback:Vivid,beautiful,joyful,whimsical;captures the youthful spirit of the school and students;shapeshifters reflect the adolescent journey;loves the organic shapes; likes the idea of shapeshifters as a metaphor for ever changing world of viewpoints,identities, etc. * 2 or 3 sculptures, depending on final contingency balance. 1 Packet Pg. 38 Masako Miki–Proposed Location Location: Bryant Street near all-school entrance. 1 Packet Pg. 39 Masako Miki Fabrication: The painted bronze sculptures will be manufactured by Artworks Foundry in Berkeley, California,and painted using an innovative bronze finish,which synthesizes traditional patina and modern automobile paint.

Wet cloths or sponges may be used to wash off stubborn bird droppings but take care not to rub through a coating or remove green or black patina. Rinse thoroughly from top to bottom. This washing should be done at least once a year. Frequency depends on rate of soiling accumulation, but washing can not be overdone. Always perform such a thorough washing before a wax maintenance renewal. Coating maintenance: Thoroughly wash bronze sculpture as described above before renewing a wax coating. Renew a wax coating at least once a year with additional paste wax. For previously coated or waxed bronze/copper sculpture, apply Butchers White Diamond clear paste wax in a manner similar to waxing a car. Apply sparingly from the can to the bronze using natural bristle brushes with the metal ferrule taped over to prevent banging the bronze, working the wax into the surface, spreading out excess, and allowing it to dry. Heavily textured surfaces will require extra diligence to thin out wax deposits in crevices. A traditional, soft shoe-shine brush is an excellent tool for buffing the surface and is still easy to find. Otherwise, buff-up lightly with soft cotton cloths. Graffiti: Only in cases where it is known for certain that no clear resin Incralac coatings are present can a safe attempt at removing graffiti be regularly attempted. If Incralac is present, solvents will greatly alter the appearance of the sculpture through dissolving this material. Wax coatings, on the other hand, can withstand careful and limited removal with solvents in an attempt at removing graffiti and then the wax can be easily replaced following the procedures for wax maintenance renewal as described above. Solvents such as mineral spirits and naphtha will affect the wax more than acetone and methyl ethyl ketone (MEK). Attempt the removal of paint graffiti with acetone and methyl ethyl ketone first using solvent soaked cloths. If a residue remains, use naphtha or mineral spirits to slightly dissolve the wax coating that is under the graffiti. Restore the wax coating after graffiti removal following the procedures for wax maintenance renewal described above. Maintenance Guidelines: 1 Packet Pg. 44 Public Art Commission 2023-2024 Workplan Staff Liaison: Elise DeMarzo, Public Art Program Director, Nadya Chuprina, Program Coordinator Lead Department: Kristen O’Kane, CSD Director About the Commission Public Art Commission is composed of five (5) members. The terms are three (3) years in length, and commence on April 1. Residency is not required. There are no vacancies as of April 1, 2023. The Public Art Commission oversees Palo Alto's temporary and permanent public art programs. The Commission's primary duties are: ● To advise the city in matters pertaining to the quality, quantity, scope, and style of art in public places ● To periodically review the capital improvement program with the staff for inclusion of works of art in various projects ● To devise methods of selecting and commissioning artists with respect to the design, execution, and placement of art in public places and to advise staff on the selection and commissioning of artists, and the amounts to be expended on art in public places ● To advise and assist staff in obtaining financial assistance for art in public places from private, corporate, and governmental sources ● To review plans for the installation of art in public places and review the inventory of art in public spaces Current Commissioners Hsinya Shen (Chair) Loren Gordon (Vice Chair) Ben Miyaji Nia Taylor Lisa Waltuch Mission Statement The Palo Alto Public Art Program promotes the highest caliber of artwork, commissioning memorable public artworks and experiences that stimulate discussion and thoughtful reflection, celebrating Palo Alto’s character and enhancing civic pride and sense of place. PAC’s 2023 Adopted Priorities are: Building Community Priority: Develop public art that encourages playing, belonging, community participation and that promotes shared experiences in and around Palo Alto Neighborhoods and commercial corridors. Social Justice Priority: Develop public art projects that will continue to advance ethnic and cultural inclu sion 4 Packet Pg. 45 and social, racial, and gender equity. Public Art Education Priority: Widen and strengthen education and advocacy for public art, including through the roll-out and implementation of the California Avenue District Master Plan and the Baylands Art Plan, and PAMP long-term goals, while responding to current issues and supporting a wider network of artists. Prior Year Accomplishments 1. Artlift Microgrants 2022: fulfilling the PAC’s first goal of 2022, ten microgrants of $4,000 each were given. The projects were selected and commissioned in the summer / fall of 2022. All projects were completed and removed. The projects created a sense of community and connection. Examples: Pets of Palo Alto A Family Portrait Project showcased community pets and their people, Small Gestures – postcards of artist Victoria Heilweil’s photographs and photos from the PA Camera Club. Community events asking the public to answer questions on the postcards, a third example is the Factronauts. Artists asking the public questions and providing answers by a “computer” created by the Factronauts. 2. King Artist Residency Pilot: artist Rayos Magos completed his community engagement and created a beautiful seven- foot tall yellow, three-sided structure titled I See You, I Hear You, I Honor You. 3. California Avenue Public Art Master Plan: activating the Cal Ave corridor with public art. Four temporary murals were installed on the construction fence of the Public Safety Building Site. Public art staff offered public tours of the murals. Artist designed banners and safety barricade covers Murals were installed along of Cal Ave. 4. Five sculptures by artist Susan Zoccola have been installed along the Charleston-Arastradero Corridor. Zoccola's colorful compositions are highlighting the pedestrian and bicycle traffic at key places along the corridor. 5.
