Resolution 21-22
To: Members of Dublin City Council From: Dana L. McDaniel, City Manager Date: May 3, 2022 Initiated By: Matt Earman, Director of Parks & Recreation Re: Resolution 21-22 – Authorizing the City Manager to Enter into a Contract with Artist Ilan Averbuch for the Design, Construction, and Installation of The “Boat in the Field” Located at M.L. “Red” Trabue Nature Preserve Background At the January 24, 2022 City Council meeting, Dr. David Guion, Executive Director of the Dublin Arts Council (DAC) presented the selection of artist Ilan Averbuch to complete the upcoming art installation project to be located at M.L. “Red” Trabue Nature Preserve. Per the Art in Public Places Master Plan, the attached Contract (Exhibit A) is required to be approved by Council by way of Resolution. Averbuch’s site-specific proposal for The Boat in the Field, a permanent artwork in Dublin’s M.L. “Red” Trabue Nature Reserve, consists of two intertwined images. One image is of a stone skeletal structure of a boat raised 11 to 15 feet in the air as if frozen in mid-flight. The other image is of a skeletal tower made of vertical steel beams covered with a sloping round roof. The massive petrified stone boat looks as if it floats weightlessly in mid-air, seeming to defy gravity and the laws of physics. Below, steel beams, some straight and some bent, appear in motion, possibly having walked out of the nearby Karrer Pond. The sculpture will be 25 feet tall, 18 feet wide, and 15 feet deep, created from recycled and Ohio industrial materials, such as stone and Cor-ten weathering steel. The sculpture will be long-lasting and will require very little maintenance. The sculpture site is proposed in proximity to, but out of sight of, the pond at the prominent juncture of two paths, one paved and one natural. The floating boat seems to prompt further questions about the surrounding natural environment of the preserve. A rendering of the art piece and location map are attached for reference (Exhibit B.) Recommendation At the March 21, 2022 meeting, Council approved an appropriation of $150,000 from the Hotel Motel Fund for this project. Staff recommends approval of Resolution 21-22 – Authorizing the City Manager to Enter into a Contract with Artist Ilan Averbuch for the Design, Construction, and Installation of the “Boat in the Field” Located in M.L. “Red” Trabue Nature Preserve.

AGENCY CITY OF DUBLIN, OHIO By: Dana L. Daniel Matthew C. Earman City Manager Director of Parks and Recreation Approved as to Form: By: Jennifer Readler, Law Director ARTIST Ilan Averbuch By: CERTIFICATION OF FUNDS I hereby certify that the funds required to meet the City’s obligation, payment, or expenditure under this Agreement have been lawfully appropriated or authorized for such purpose and are free from any obligation now outstanding. Director of Finance Date The Boat in the Field - Ilan Averbuch - Contract for the Commission of Public Artwork 17 The Boat in the Field Exhibit 1 Description of Artwork Overview of Public Art Concept M.L. “Red” Trabue Nature Reserve A proposal for a public art project. I would like to propose The Boat in the Field, a landmark sculpture for the Red Trabue Nature Reserve. This sculpture measures 25’ tall, 18’ wide, by 15 feet deep. It will stand in a clearing between the forking multi-use paths of paved park road and a grass foot trail leading to the back of the pond. The Boat in the Field consists of two intertwind images. One image is of a stone skeletal structure of a boat raised 11 to 15 feet up in the air as if frozen in mid flight. The other image is of a skeletal tower made of vertical steel beams covered with a sloping round roof. The mast of the boat, a long fin shaped piece of Corten steel tube rises from the boat, piercing through the roof spire and continues another 8 feet skyward. The massive, petrified stone boat looks as if it floats weightlessly in mid-air, seeming to defy gravity and the laws of physics. Below, the steel beams, some straight, some bent, appear in motion, possibly having walked out of the pond. The sculpture emerges out of a foundation covered with a circular carpet of stones. These symbolic intertwined images produce several questions and conceptual considerations. Which of the two images arrived first, the boat or the tower? Were these images at one time separate entities, or is each just a part of a singular greater organism? The roofed tower usually represents such common human aspirations as stability, shelter, and rootedness. Symbolically, the boat contradicts these representations. It illustrates a desire for transience, a journey to the unknown which lies beyond the horizon. In juxtaposition these images represent stasis and kinesis, to create an artwork, depicting two forces vital to the human condition. - Ilan Averbuch Conceptual Drawing 3D Illustrative Rendering The Boat in the Field - Ilan Averbuch - Contract for the Commission of Public Artwork 18 The Boat in the Field When one considers the sculpture’s proximity to the pond, which remains out of view, the floating boat seems to prompt further questions about the surrouding natural environment. Is the boat’s suspension away from the water in the middle of a field next to crossing paths, perceivale as a suggestive symbol or result of possible future climate impact? Does the work remind us of Noah’s Arc and the story of calamity and hope in the bible? However the work is interpreted, it’s striking appearance should stay very much alive in the mind of the viewer. It’s identity will be subject to unique interpretations, questions, and narrativizations from park viewers hopefully for generations to come. This sculpture should provide a space in one’s mind to connect or perhaps better articulate personal interpretations of this artwork based on their individual experiences with larger issues of culture, community, nature and the state of our planet earth. If they wish, each viewer will be invited to share their responses and thoughts in a mailbox-like container where one finds a book or a QR code linked to the M.L. “Red” Trabue Park/ Dublin Arts Council website. The QR code will also link to the description of the artwork, its materials and images of its making. The book and the website with viewers’ responses will be visible and accessible to all park visitors. Such a collection of responses allows the “Boat in the Field” to become a vessel for community Small Scale Model The Boat in the Field - Ilan Averbuch - Contract for the Commission of Public Artwork 19 Exhibit 2 Artwork Budget Artist Design Fee $25,000.00 Fabrication Fee $25,000.00 Cor-Ten Steel $15,000.00 Stone $7,000.00 Foundation $10,000.00 Hardware $2,000.00 Assistant $25,000.00 Administrative $1500.00 Studio $1500.00 Engineer $5000.00 Transportation $5000.00 Install Equipment $5000.00 Install Travel $5000.00 Insurance $2000.00 Plaque Box $1,000.00 Contingency $15,000.00 Total $150,000.00 The Boat in the Field - Ilan Averbuch - Contract for the Commission of Public Artwork 20 Exhibit 3 Payment and Completion Schedules and Waiver of Claims M.L. “Red” Trabue Nature Reserve Payment Schedule The Agency shall pay the Artist a fixed fee of $150,000 which shall constitute full and complete compensation for all the services performed and materials furnished by the Artist under this Agreement.
