Nané Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Hyatt might get new art Commission recommends having famed artist add piece for downtown hotel. By Melanie Hicken Published: Last Updated Friday, September 18, 2009 8:17 PM PDT CITY HALL — A United Nations-sanctioned artist could bring a piece of his work to a downtown street corner under a public art proposal for the Hyatt Hotel slated for the corner of Wilson and Central avenues. The Arts & Culture Commission on Thursday recommended that the City Council approve Newport Beach-based Komar Investments’ estimated $400,000 plan to incorporate artwork by famed artist Yuri “Yuroz” Gevorgian into the design concept and architecture of the proposed 11-story Hyatt Place Glendale. “It’s a magnificent idea,” said Commissioner Arlette DerHovanessian. “The concept is beautiful.” The artwork is required under the Downtown Specific Plan, which requires a public art component valued at 1% of the cost of any project with a price tag of at least $500,000 in the downtown area. The proposal, which was the first to come to the commission as a result of the downtown plan’s art requirement, will now go to the City Council as part of the final design review process. The 172-room hotel received initial design approval last year. Approved by the City Council in 2006, the Downtown Specific Plan aims to guide growth in the city’s downtown area, and sets a number of requirements that new developments must meet. The public art component requires that the artwork be viewable from public right-of-ways. The art proposal, titled “Conversations,” plays off the idea of two people talking and will be incorporated throughout the hotel. The main piece would be a stainless-steel sculpture of two faces, which would form the corner wall of the hotel’s outdoor cafe and be visible to anyone walking or driving by the hotel. The faces would also be worked into a sculptural wall along the hotel’s pool, and on tiles throughout the hotel. “It’s always an integral part of the building,” said the hotel’s architect, Aram Alajajian. “It stays with the building.” Commissioners lauded the innovative proposal as an example of how the city is moving forward in its efforts to embrace the fine arts. Just this week, the city’s efforts to bring the Los Angeles-based Museum of Neon Art to the downtown area became public. “This doesn’t happen too often in Glendale, where art is at the front of things,” said arts commission Chairman Arman Keyvanian. Gevorgian, who has previously been commissioned by the United Nations, commended the city for encouraging the development of artwork downtown. “I hope this will be a great contribution for public art in Glendale,” he said. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright © 2009 - Glendale News Press Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
