That looks amazing.

Re: Kaneko Museum
WOW! This will be cool addition to the OM. The project takes some unremarkable brick facades and creates a transition from the heart of the Old Market as you head south toward the Rows SoMa. This looks like a great project. Hopefully the City of Omaha will rebuild the brick streets in that area to tie things together.

The black and white granite sidewalks will be amazing. I wonder if they are going the whole block or just the front?

Re: Kaneko Museum
I hope they plan to replace or repair the street in front of that new addition. It is in very poor condition. I drove on it earlier this month.

Re: Kaneko Museum
A rezoning request is in front of the planning board for some land on the campus.
Re: Kaneko Museum
Rezoning moving forward here in front of the city council. Doc says 40 ft tall for the museum.

Re: Kaneko Museum
Kaneko exhibit celebrates sculpture artists;
featured piece soon moves to Gene Leahy Mall
The exhibit highlights the creative process of sculptors from first drafts to final products, with pieces of all shapes and sizes.

Re: Kaneko Museum
The featured piece being moved to Gene Leahy Mall isn’t all that impressive, but at least it’s not one of those big ugly ceramic heads they’re putting out there. Besides their massive size, I think most 2nd graders could make those. Maybe I’m just not cultured enough and don’t understand the art world. I recently visited the High Museum of Art in Atlanta and saw Ellsworth Kelly’s “Blue, Green, Red”. People were standing there oooing and ahing over it. Why? I know 2nd graders could duplicate most Ellsworth Kelly creations.
Re: Kaneko Museum
Maybe Ellsworth Kelly was on to something. A course in art history: Renaissance to the present day can be enlightening too.OmahaOmaha wrote: ↑Fri Feb 18, 2022 2:42 pm The featured piece being moved to Gene Leahy Mall isn’t all that impressive, but at least it’s not one of those big ugly ceramic heads they’re putting out there.

That piece going in the Gene Leahy mall is decoration. (It's debatable whether it achieves that purpose. But still debatable.) But it isn't art.
Art recreates reality according to the artist's value judgements.
If you see a beautiful woman with a blemish on her cheek, you'd think nothing of it. She's still a beautiful woman. But if an artist paints a beautiful woman with a blemish, s/he is saying something by doing so. The message might be "everyone is flawed" or "there are no ideals" or something else along those lines. (I would disagree with the message, but there would be a message, values, and a recreation of reality that reflects those values.)
This metal object might look nice to some people. But it says nothing. It reflects no values - good or bad. It recreates nothing to express those values. It isn't art.
Re: Kaneko Museum
To me, the metal sculpture headed for the new GLM kind of looks like a giant abstraction of the tiny sars-cov-2 virus. I don’t know if that was the artist’s intention, but it will remind of that, and the time’s we’ve lived through recently. If an artist says it’s art, it probably is. I’ll reserve my judgment until I see it in person.

Re: Kaneko Museum
Comparing a painting of a beautiful women to a sculpture is like dancing about architecture. Fortunately, for those who don't care for it , it will only be there for 3 years. Then you can complain about the next piece to take it's place.legato9 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 18, 2022 5:19 pmI think you have the opposite "problem."

It's fine if something isn't to one's taste, but ignorance doesn't pass for legitimate criticism.
