CALL TO ARTISTS – Request for Qualifications
$85,000 Public Art Design Commission, City of Cambridge, Massachusetts
RFQ Submission Deadline: August 21, 2013
The Cambridge Arts Council (CAC) in Cambridge, MA is seeking qualifications from artists and designers interested in creating a permanent street feature for the reconstruction of Fern Street, a one-block street between Concord Avenue and Field Street in Northwest Cambridge. From this RFQ, four finalists will be invited to submit proposals, one of which will be selected for the final commission. The $85,000 commission will cover all services from design through final installation, including artist fee, travel, community meetings, fabrication, insurance, transportation, installation, and coordination with City staff and contractor.
The Fern Street Streetscape Project is part of a larger sewer separation project that necessitates surface improvements on many streets. The City has identified Fern Street as key safe-route-to-school connector for students attending the Tobin School. The City has the opportunity to minimize automobile use of this street and construct features that will enhance the experience of youth traveling from one end to the other on foot, bicycle, wheelchair, skateboard, or any other means. Consistent with the City’s mission to construct more playful features for diverse ages and abilities in our built environment, we are looking for artists who would bring an interactive playful experience to Fern Street for all users.
The artist selection process will be as follows:
· Artists submit images of previous work and biographic information online
· Art Jury will select 4 finalists who will be paid $2,000 each to create a proposal
· 4 finalists visit Cambridge to view the site and meet with community members and City staff
· Finalists develop proposals
· Finalists present proposals to the Site Committee, which will select one artist to be awarded the $85,000 commission
Timeline:
August 21, 2013 All Electronic Submissions due (see below)
Early September 2013 Notifications of finalists sent
Late September 2013 Site walk and meeting with community and City staff
Mid-November 2013 Proposals due – artists present proposals to Site Committee
Late November 2013 Announcement of final selection
2014 Artwork Installation
How to Submit:
Submit images of past work and biographical information at http://cac.slideroom.com.
Registration is free and easy – upload digital files of work samples and complete a form of information and you will be considered for the Fern Street Project as well as all future public art commissions within the City of Cambridge.

Between the Material & the Immaterial, Works by Eduardo Terranova
EDUARDO TERRANOVA is a practicing artist and architect based in New York City. Born in Cali, Colombia, his childhood is filled with the iconography of the Catholic faith and the violence of civil conflict engendered by a sixty-year period of internecine war in his homeland. He is raised with his grandfather's stories of terror and recounting of the deaths and disappearance of hundreds of thousands of citizens. Subsequently, Terranova has his own personal encounters with the dark menace of political and military violence. At 19, he chooses to leave the country. The conflict continues.As a child, Eduardo stitches and builds kites and makes his own toys. Early ballet classes helped him develop a sense of space, of defying gravity and balance of bodies in motion. His passion for art expands. Soon, he feels the power and freedom of holding a pencil or brush; it is like dancing around the universe with his heart in his hands. His studies and travels bring a mature appreciation of dimensionality, textures and surfaces. He begins to draw on a magical realism created from the bringing together and rending apart of elements. The result is a unique aesthetic, bonded in the smelter of life experience and manifesting the enduring fountainhead of human dignity.
USC Architecture Grad Seeks Job / Internship
Hi, everyone --
My brother Daniel just graduated from the Masters School of Architecture at USC in May. He's looking for employment opportunities, and I was hoping the Harvardwood network might be able to provide him with some leads. He is seeking a full-time, part-time, or internship position in architecture, interior design, or engineering. A paid position is obviously preferable, but he'll consider unpaid internships as well.
I'm attaching his resume; references and his thesis (on underwater architecture!) are available on request. If you have any ideas/leads, please email me at: [email protected]
Thank you!
Mia
