This was actually from our March meeting that got canceled, so we're 227 00:14:37,660 --> 00:14:44,000 bringing it back to give a little context. At our March meeting we had been getting some 228 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:49,160 public requests for the Ascensioning of a Certain Artwork, so I just wanted you all 229 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,500 to be aware of the process in case you ever get anyone that 230 00:14:52,500 --> 00:14:54,880 comes up to you and you can point them in the right direction 231 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:56,860 because there is a way that it can happen. 232 00:14:59,100 --> 00:14:59,840 OK, go ahead. 233 00:15:00,340 --> 00:15:04,900 All right. There's a lot of information that comes with deaccessioning at work. 234 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:10,500 Essentially, deaccessioning and artwork is a formal process and it is a permanent removal 235 00:15:10,500 --> 00:15:15,380 from our public art collection. Would you mind advancing to the next slide? 236 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:24,580 The goal isn't just to get rid of an artwork. It's to maintain safety, high quality, relevant 237 00:15:24,580 --> 00:15:27,480 and a collection that's sustainable for maintenance, 238 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:29,980 which is a huge component for us. 239 00:15:31,300 --> 00:15:33,060 And to assure, of course, 240 00:15:33,180 --> 00:15:34,900 that the work reflects the community values, 241 00:15:35,060 --> 00:15:37,020 the space it's in, and the needs. 242 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,620 These might evolve over time, so we revisit. 243 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:43,620 And then protecting the collection, 244 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,060 integrity and public trust is another major thing. 245 00:15:47,460 --> 00:15:49,260 Something that's really important that I think 246 00:15:49,260 --> 00:15:50,960 that we'll circle back to 247 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:52,560 in a future commission meeting 248 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:58,720 would be our rights and our rights essentially covers the rights of the 249 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:06,360 artist so even though the city has essentially purchased the work the the 250 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:10,860 work belongs to the city but ownership does not erase the art the artist's 251 00:16:10,860 --> 00:16:16,000 legal rights so that's kind of the core of our rights there are four main 252 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:23,400 components of our rights and I'm just going to touch on them quickly for 253 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:27,320 revisit in the future but essentially the artist has the right to be recognized 254 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:33,080 as the creator of the work. If the work were ever to be altered in any way that 255 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,800 was not approved by the artist they have the right to not be recognized as 256 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:41,000 the creator of the work and then artists have the right to object to 257 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,820 modifications or distortions of the work so that's our responsibility to 258 00:16:44,820 --> 00:16:49,420 say if something's changing and artists have the right of protection against 259 00:16:49,420 --> 00:16:56,060 destruction. So when it's ever coming up to discussion we involve the artist in 260 00:16:56,060 --> 00:17:01,980 the discussion and we'll talk about next steps. So guiding principles are we 261 00:17:01,980 --> 00:17:06,780 want to take our time and be thoughtful of course with any of these processes 262 00:17:06,780 --> 00:17:12,540 especially a permanent removal from the collection. We want to respect 263 00:17:12,540 --> 00:17:18,740 intent. And this is important. There's this really unique debate in the art world 264 00:17:18,740 --> 00:17:25,120 about intent of the creator. And I find it interesting, so I'll say. But sometimes 265 00:17:25,120 --> 00:17:31,220 the question is who gets to decide what an artwork means. And in this case, we 266 00:17:31,220 --> 00:17:36,180 refer back to the artist. Of course, art's open for interpretation, but we 267 00:17:36,180 --> 00:17:42,200 refer back to the artist on this. And of course, checking that with all the 268 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:48,460 other pieces that come in. We do prioritize public benefit. That's what a public art 269 00:17:48,460 --> 00:17:54,080 collection is for. So we balance all of these things and consider legal, ethical, 270 00:17:54,660 --> 00:18:01,680 and contractual obligations. So legal is consulted throughout this process. Okay, 271 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:09,100 why would we deaccession a work? And these are the core reasons. Mainly 272 00:18:09,100 --> 00:18:15,940 irreparable damage or deterioration. Public art is hopefully made to 273 00:18:15,940 --> 00:18:21,560 stand the test of time but things happen and sometimes when we take assessment 274 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:29,260 it's maybe going to be more costly to maintain or restore than the work is 275 00:18:29,260 --> 00:18:34,920 valued at. Excessive maintenance or unsafe conditions specifically on 276 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:41,220 safety, if there is, it's looking like a risk. Again, looping in legal and risk 277 00:18:41,220 --> 00:18:45,720 departments with the city, that might be something that we consider. The site is 278 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:49,520 no longer appropriate or accessible. Our city changes all the time. The 279 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:54,920 landscape, the buildings that are there. A site might be out of the public 280 00:18:54,920 --> 00:19:00,580 area suddenly. Maybe it's behind a wall where it once wasn't, so that 281 00:19:00,580 --> 00:19:04,300 would be a case where we might want to look at something. Significant 282 00:19:04,300 --> 00:19:13,540 changes impacting integrity or relevance speaks for itself. Fraud, forgery or lack of authenticity. 283 00:19:14,380 --> 00:19:20,440 Artwork rarely displayed so if an artwork is not out in the public eye for a long period of time 284 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:29,540 we might want to call it a question and sustain public objection. We do hear sometimes of course 285 00:19:29,540 --> 00:19:36,720 Like Julie mentioned, feedback from the community for an artwork to be removed, it needs to be 286 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:44,340 sustained and there needs to be documented feedback from the community as well. These are things that 287 00:19:44,340 --> 00:19:49,500 we gather and we store no matter how many we receive. So everything that we hear, we file it 288 00:19:49,500 --> 00:19:54,460 away and we ask if it's verbal, you know, can you write this down, can you send this to us 289 00:19:54,460 --> 00:19:55,780 so that we can have that documented. 290 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:56,680 We do want it. 291 00:19:58,180 --> 00:20:01,440 And then over a period of time, 292 00:20:01,660 --> 00:20:04,680 if there's a large amount that we're hearing about it, 293 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,700 then we would absolutely want to take a look. 294 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,660 And the collection direction has evolved. 295 00:20:11,060 --> 00:20:14,480 So if there's a major shift in our identity as a city 296 00:20:15,100 --> 00:20:17,780 or what we want from public art, 297 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,740 yeah, that's kind of open for interpretation 298 00:20:21,740 --> 00:20:23,780 case by case, but there we go. 299 00:20:24,460 --> 00:20:25,780 Can I have a lot down there? 300 00:20:26,940 --> 00:20:30,780 Generally, we don't want to be in the business of commissioning our work. 301 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,400 We want our work to stay ground, even if it's not our favorite. 302 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,760 No one tells you something about place, history, time, in some way. 303 00:20:38,180 --> 00:20:43,040 So we definitely try and avoid this as much as possible in all cases. 304 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,700 So that's why there's this cumbersome process. 305 00:20:46,380 --> 00:20:46,840 Yes. 306 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:49,600 All right. 307 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:55,520 So essentially we review our collection every five years and this was recently 308 00:20:55,520 --> 00:21:02,560 done by RLA Conservation as well with the third party to look at all of our 309 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:09,180 collection and say here's how they stand and what maintenance is needed. This is 310 00:21:09,180 --> 00:21:13,260 helpful if there's something that we need to know in terms of like 311 00:21:13,260 --> 00:21:14,260 irreparable damage. 312 00:21:16,380 --> 00:21:23,140 On that line, we, there's the, stop, sorry. Can 313 00:21:26,780 --> 00:21:29,060 I have all my thoughts on that? 314 00:21:29,540 --> 00:21:35,720 And part of that review is also your input, so because I think you were all here when we reviewed 315 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:41,520 that, but her one wasn't. So we took their review and then we brought it to the commission, 316 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,640 and the commission rated the artworks in order, 317 00:21:44,780 --> 00:21:46,280 like, curatorial important. 318 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,040 So even if it was going to cost a lot to repair, 319 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,780 but it was really important, then we were like, 320 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:53,520 let's put it forward. 321 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,840 But if it was like, it's going to cost a lot 322 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:57,880 and it's not super important. 323 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,780 So there was many factors that the commission really 324 00:22:00,780 --> 00:22:02,180 weighed in on how it wasn't just like, 325 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:03,320 well, it's going to cost a lot by. 326 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:08,200 Yeah, so you all are part of that review as well. 327 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:09,000 All right. 328 00:22:11,250 --> 00:22:12,930 So the collection is reviewed. 329 00:22:13,550 --> 00:22:19,170 The artist is notified and we prepare a deaccession report internally. 330 00:22:20,070 --> 00:22:24,530 The reason we want to bring the artist into the discussion is so that they're aware if 331 00:22:24,530 --> 00:22:30,150 it were something along the lines of community complaint, they would have the opportunity 332 00:22:30,150 --> 00:22:35,190 again to talk more about intent and have agency in that conversation. 333 00:22:36,130 --> 00:22:38,830 And then a panel would come together. 334 00:22:38,830 --> 00:22:44,070 And this panel is very similar to the panels that we have for public art or other review 335 00:22:44,070 --> 00:22:44,530 processes. 336 00:22:44,990 --> 00:22:49,590 So one of you would be on the panel, the community, and then stakeholders. 337 00:22:51,250 --> 00:22:52,690 There would be a thorough review. 338 00:22:57,330 --> 00:23:03,910 The panel reviews, city attorney advises throughout, of course, and we are considering 339 00:23:03,910 --> 00:23:05,330 all the things we've already discussed. 340 00:23:06,370 --> 00:23:12,190 There's an approval or denial at the end of the day and that leads to a final action. 341 00:23:14,010 --> 00:23:18,510 And there's actually a few different avenues to pursue on this. 342 00:23:18,730 --> 00:23:22,990 We could sell, trade, donate, exchange, or destroy. 343 00:23:23,670 --> 00:23:28,170 That's the last case scenario. We really don't want to be in the business of destroying our work. 344 00:23:29,470 --> 00:23:34,750 And so there might be ways that we can first reach out to the artist 345 00:23:34,750 --> 00:23:41,430 and offer them to the artwork in a few different avenues. 346 00:23:42,010 --> 00:23:47,670 We could approach a donor or donor errors that might be interested in acquiring the work 347 00:23:47,670 --> 00:23:50,650 and purchasing it. 348 00:23:51,350 --> 00:23:59,150 We could sell or trade independently or professionally with other organizations or museums or programs 349 00:23:59,750 --> 00:24:01,890 and it could be donated. 350 00:24:03,290 --> 00:24:07,790 And then destruction is really reserved for work that is beyond repair. 351 00:24:08,390 --> 00:24:11,850 So, bottom line, we don't want to be destroying art. 352 00:24:12,090 --> 00:24:13,030 There is a home for it. 353 00:24:13,590 --> 00:24:16,590 It can be hard to find homes for art, so it's a long process. 354 00:24:18,450 --> 00:24:18,970 Like a mural. 355 00:24:19,570 --> 00:24:20,110 Like a mural. 356 00:24:20,330 --> 00:24:23,470 Really hard to, really hard to move a mural. 357 00:24:23,870 --> 00:24:27,690 Yes, it is mainly difficult on a mural. 358 00:24:27,690 --> 00:24:32,870 Are there any art that's being discussed right now for this? 359 00:24:34,130 --> 00:24:34,450 Yes. 360 00:24:35,910 --> 00:24:40,010 Will it be spoken about during the panel discussion? 361 00:24:41,070 --> 00:24:43,550 Is that what we'll hear about? 362 00:24:44,110 --> 00:24:48,170 So if there was a work to come forward for deaccession, 363 00:24:48,590 --> 00:24:51,770 it would have to come to the commission, 364 00:24:52,050 --> 00:24:53,910 whether it's a larger panel and one of you 365 00:24:53,910 --> 00:24:56,490 is a representative and then brings it back to everyone 366 00:24:56,490 --> 00:25:05,550 of like here's what was talked about um it still seems like commission input on it um what what would 367 00:25:05,550 --> 00:25:11,210 you all like if you were talking to a resident who didn't like an artwork how do you advise them of 368 00:25:11,210 --> 00:25:16,610 their next steps that's why I just want to make sure you guys know what to do you don't you have 369 00:25:16,610 --> 00:25:24,050 an answer to articulate in writing what the problem is for them yeah we have a complaint form 370 00:25:24,050 --> 00:25:30,110 that sounds so weird but we do have like a full process so if you if you do 371 00:25:30,110 --> 00:25:33,790 encounter someone that has an issue like please just direct them to Danica or 372 00:25:33,790 --> 00:25:38,490 myself and then we can help them prepare the documentation needed to bring it to 373 00:25:38,490 --> 00:25:42,530 you all.

So you can review their full write-ups in your packets 572 00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,000 And welcome to List, to those artists. 573 00:37:42,720 --> 00:37:45,860 So just a reminder, qualification lasts for two years. 574 00:37:47,620 --> 00:37:50,240 And I ran through all this stuff early. 575 00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,980 So it will open back up annually though. 576 00:37:54,300 --> 00:37:55,840 So even though it lasts for two years, 577 00:37:56,000 --> 00:38:00,160 we open it annually for more artists to apply. 578 00:38:00,780 --> 00:38:05,060 So out of all art we have, I mean, actually it's mirrorless. 579 00:38:05,060 --> 00:38:08,820 like how often or how many get booked, like every year. 580 00:38:09,240 --> 00:38:11,540 How many get selected? Yeah, selected, I'm sure. 581 00:38:11,660 --> 00:38:19,960 There's no number to it. So we could have, you know, we could have 20, 30 artists apply 582 00:38:20,740 --> 00:38:30,920 and really that's the, the panel needs to define what makes an artist pre-qualified based 583 00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:37,200 on the criteria that we provide. And so that is... I'm sorry, I got that part. 584 00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:42,880 I'm sorry, maybe I have a question on this. Yeah. So we have a pool of artists, like how many 585 00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:47,620 get selected for art. For our works throughout the year. Ah, thank you for clarifying. 586 00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:52,480 It depends on the how many artworks are up for jobs. And that's why we also want to, 587 00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:56,720 as a public resource, so that artists could have more opportunities that are without the city 588 00:38:56,720 --> 00:39:03,560 if it's like a slow year for murals. Yeah. And artists also might be selected for things 589 00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:11,220 that are not necessarily murals. Their skills qualify as like flat surfaces, right? Designers 590 00:39:11,220 --> 00:39:17,280 sometimes. So there are some other projects they might qualify for or be pre-qualified 591 00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:19,080 for because they are on this list. 592 00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:26,000 Is the police department, yeah, would that like be chosen from like a list of these 593 00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:29,840 guys or will we have like an open call? That's an open call. It's currently open. It closes 594 00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:36,340 the end of the month and that call is open nationwide. So this pre-qualified list is 595 00:39:36,340 --> 00:39:41,980 only eligible to Arizona-based artists. I'm saying from our last, from the existing 596 00:39:41,980 --> 00:39:47,020 list, there might only like two of them that didn't at least get some sort of 597 00:39:47,020 --> 00:39:51,620 commission because almost all of them are at least invited to make proposals 598 00:39:51,620 --> 00:39:58,640 proposals for things. So like the gym, the basketball court hero had three of them that 599 00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:03,840 made proposals. The gym wall that's going to get a new community center had three that 600 00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:10,140 made proposals. Oh, the library one that's going up here was an artist on that list. 601 00:40:10,720 --> 00:40:15,100 And then, Danica, do you have any things that are kind of in the pipeline that would 602 00:40:15,100 --> 00:40:23,120 pull-from list list? Yes, we have the Roots of Creation Festival 603 00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:28,380 upcoming. That's a designer flat surface type of work that pulls from these type 604 00:40:28,380 --> 00:40:35,420 of skill sets. So some of these artists would be qualified for that and will be 605 00:40:35,420 --> 00:40:42,980 pursuing other murals. I mean we have things on the horizon. I don't know 606 00:40:42,980 --> 00:40:49,940 that I want to call them out quite yet. But of course we have the mural that is being deaccessioned 607 00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:58,580 and so that will be a place that we're looking for a future mural. We have the artwork coming to 608 00:40:58,580 --> 00:41:05,420 the original town site community and that is kind of wide open for defining which areas 609 00:41:06,060 --> 00:41:09,900 are going to be activated with that project. So that's a potential for a mural. 610 00:41:09,900 --> 00:41:15,820 any of the projects there could be potential to explore a mural, but those 611 00:41:15,820 --> 00:41:22,900 are the main ones. Do I miss anything? Okay. Awesome. Well that's that's my 612 00:41:22,900 --> 00:41:23,360 updates. 613 00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:27,120 So, oh I forgot I have this. Let me, 614 00:41:30,290 --> 00:41:30,810 oh sorry. 615 00:41:31,230 --> 00:41:34,230 How's it going? You're good. Do you know what you're doing? 616 00:41:34,570 --> 00:41:36,310 Oh, is this it? We're done. We're done. 617 00:41:38,430 --> 00:41:40,950 Is it my only other question? Do you want to do some more? 618 00:41:41,350 --> 00:41:45,330 I mean, you're done.
