STAFF COMMENTS –Staff updated the PAC about ongoing application process for the Public Art Program summer internship position with the submission deadline on March 28. Staff also reported on the completion of restoration of two Greg Brown murals, including Garbage Collector and Boy Fishing in downtown Palo Alto and shared before and after images. ACTION: 1. King AIR – King Artist-in-Residence Alma Landeta joined the PAC meeting remotely to introduce their conceptual design for a temporary artwork to be exhibited on King Plaza. For their residency, Landeta focused on the lived experiences of the LGBTQAI+ community members residing and working in Palo Alto and beyond with the goal of sparking conversations about inclusion, equity, a sense of belonging while bringing Palo Alto’s diverse communities together through better understanding and compassion. The design, informed by months of research and community engagement, celebrates the Palo Alto LGBTQ+ communities, highlighting their life 1 Packet Pg. 4 experiences. Landeta shared digital renderings of the conceptual design: the sculpture will be made of rolled stainless steel with black contour drawings one the exterior. At the center of the installation there will be a bench with a payphone serving as a receiver for visitors to hear audio from anonymous messages from the Queeries Hotline. The proposed sculpture seeks to create a space where individual voices combine into a collective narrative. The reflective figures will invite visitors to see themselves as part of the ongoing conversation, showing how shared experiences build resilience and strengthening connection. The artist then played a sound clip as an example of media content integrated in the artwork. Commissioners asked clarifying questions about the timeline and maintenance plans for the installation. Motion: Commissioner Miyaji moved to approve the conceptual design for the temporary artwork by King artist-in-residence Alma Landeta. Second: Chair Smith All in Favor. 2. Allocation of Funds for Maintenance – Staff provided the history of preciously completed maintenance and repair treatments for Albuquerque, a permanently installed large-scale sculpture by Gale Wagner, located on Embarcadero Road. The sculpture, created in 1982 and last refurbished by a painting contractor in 2017, received a comprehensive condition report by Preservation Arts in 2025. The conservators’ report outlined its current condition, including visible areas of deterioration and failing painting system, due to exposure and damage from mechanical impact from lawn maintenance equipment, and provided recommendations for an overall repainting of the sculpture. The project would need to take place onsite with the area fenced off and canopied to protect the artwork from the elements and temperature fluctuations and performed by an experienced painting contractor under close supervision of the art conservators. The project will be funded out of the Public Art Maintenance budget and take place in early fall. Staff recommended the allocation of funds in the amount of up to $37,000 for the conservation treatment and repainting of Albuquerque by Gale Wagner. Moved: Commissioner Stern moved to approve the allocation of funds in the amount of $37,000 for the maintenance project. Second: Commissioner Smith. All in Favor. COMMISSIONER QUESTIONS, ANNOUNCEMENTS, OR FUTURE ITEMS: Staff made an announcement about the upcoming California Licensing Coalition hearing Assembly Bill 456 on April 7. CALENDAR: PAC Regular Meeting – April 17, 2025, at 7 pm. MEETING ADJOURNED: at 7:58 pm by Commissioner Gordon. 1 Packet Pg. 5 Public Art Commission Staff Report From: Elise DeMarzo, Manager Community Services Sr Programs Meeting Date: April 17, 2025 Report #: 2504-4490 TITLE Acceptance of Donation of Artwork RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Public Art Commission accept the donation of artwork by Cubberley artist Nina K Ekman into the City collection. BACKGROUND This generous gift is being offered by a CASP artist as part of the Cubberley Artist Studio Program (CASP) agreement. According to the CASP Guidelines, all CASP artists are expected to donate one of their artworks in their first (4-year) residency term to the City’s Public Art Program. The donation is subject to the approval of the Public Art Commission and, upon acceptance, will be deemed a gift made under terms and conditions established by the City.  DISCUSSION: Nina K. Ekman is originally from the north of Norway but has lived in seven different countries in Europe. She is currently residing in Palo Alto with her husband and two children. Ekman has studied art at Parsons School of Art and Design in Paris, product design at The Design Academy in the Netherlands, and was trained in copper etching and printing at Atelier Velasco & Meller in Paris. She furthermore has a Cand. Psych. from the University of Geneva, Switzerland. The artwork offered for donation by Nina K. Ekman is titled Where the Rivers Ran Dry I. Part of the series under the same title, the piece serves as a lament for landscapes ravaged by extreme climatic events – experiences the artist encountered firsthand upon relocating from Denmark to California. Ekman states: “the series specifically delves into the profound desiccation of once-vibrant ecosystems. It charts a journey from the initial stages of parched earth and withered flora to the stark, skeletal remnants left when life-sustaining waters recede. This work is not merely a depiction of drought; it's an exploration of the silence that follows when vitality 2 Packet Pg. 6 is stripped away, when the natural symphony of a thriving riverine environment is replaced by the brittle whisper of drought”.
