The Cultural Affairs Division is pleased to announce the release of a new Podcast Series featuring artworks from the City’s current Rotating Public Art Program Exhibition!
This Podcast Series includes a self-guided tour of eight public artworks located throughout the City, accompanied by an interactive map and interview-style recordings from each artist or artist-team. We hope that by hearing the artists speak directly about their creative process, the community will gain a deeper appreciation and understanding of the artworks currently on view.
New for Series IV, the artist recordings have been transcribed and are available as text with each artwork description, making the content more accessible to those who prefer to read. Listeners can enjoy these podcasts at their own convenience—whether walking, biking or viewed remotely. The immersive audio recordings were crafted through technical support from artist Alan Nakagawa.
The public is invited to explore the Artist Podcasts by visiting: bit.ly/PodRotating4
A copy of the Series IV exhibition brochure is available for download on the Cultural Affairs webpage at: www.cityofpasadena.net/arts
About the Rotating Public Art Program:
Launched in 2011, the City’s Rotating Public Art Program focuses on community engagement, aims to provide opportunities to experience public art that enlivens the urban landscape, and to produce a dynamic visual experience for residents and visitors. The Program creates more venues for public art throughout the City, increases exposure and opportunities for artists new to public art, educates the public by stimulating discussion, and provides a cultural draw for tourists.
The Program places both existing loaned works as well as new commissioned works on public view in neighborhoods representing all City Council Districts with the intention to replace the artworks every few years. A unique element of the Rotating Program engages Neighborhood Art Associates in the artwork selection process. In this way, the Rotating Program asks the public to be directly involved in the development of a city-wide temporary public art collection.
