KANA TANAKAコミュの正式発表！new Lafayette Libraryのコンペ。

前回トピたてしましたが、　KANA TANAKAが、最終選考に残っていたカリフォルニア州は、ラファエット市のコンペの発表があり、KANA TANAKAの作品が選ばれました。　近い将来、彼女のパブリックアートが、新図書館の児童図書エリア専用デッキの一部として永久展示されます。

下記は、ローカル新聞にも載った記事が有るWEBサイトのリンクとコンペを競い合ったアーティスト達のプレゼンボードと共に一般公開された時のKANA TANAKAに寄せられたコメント集です。
辛口コメントも隠さず、市から公開されたものを全て載せて有ります。KANA TANAKAの作品が、一般の人にどう思われたのか解ります。

“unanimously chose”−“満場一致”でKANA TANAKAの作品が選ばれたそうです。
私が、他のアーティストの作品と比較したところKANA TANAKAの作品だけが、子供の目線、子供の気持ちを大切に考えてデザインされていたと思います。

“Kana Tanaka: Survey Commentary

- Creative and imaginative.

- Excellent use of the sunshine. Love the use of the periodic table. Won’t the dichroic glass quickly get dirty?

- I like to look through plexi-glass.

- Wow. This is GREAT! It encourages investigation in a beautiful manner.

- Relates to change in environment, gives us a fun reminder of how delightful & beneficial change can be.

- I think it is wonderful to provide a way for children to see the view. This Tanaka design lets children know that their point of view is important and is facilitated by the architect.

- Love the use of moving sunlight & color plus the optical glass windows.

- My favorite is Tanaka’s work because it’s bright and will change depending on lights outside-beautiful.

- I think Tanaka’s optical streams would engage children’s attention and provide more that a single visual experience!

- The periodic table doesn’t feel right for a children’s area. Perhaps if she just used letters and numerals instead of the periodic symbols.

- Like Tanaka the best.

- Love the tie ins/relations to Lafayette creeks and glens. Periodical table; can see kids exploring all the items and having fun.

- Prefer the Tanaka presentation. Suggest it have an added design element-the chemical model of Sg from the Topher Delaney presentation with a salutatory plaque honoring Glen Seaborg.

- I like Tanaka part 1. Incorporate Tanaka [part 1] in an adult area.

- Liked the idea of the colored discs but doubt that they will show up as colored discs on the deck unless their are some kind of lenses to direct the light.

- Deck to bleak.

- Tanaka needs more seating but I prefer it.”
