No
matter
where
you
are
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
your
steps
away
from
experiencing
a
work
of
art,
public
art
is
a
distinguishing
part
of
our
home.
It
is
freely
accessible
and
enables
people
to
experience
art
in
their
daily
life
outside
of
museums
or
other
cultural
institutions.
It
reflects
our
history
and
our
evolving
culture.
B
It
helps
to
give
our
communities
a
stronger
sense
of
identity
and
place
public
art
matters
and
public
art
matters
to
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
Welcome
back
to
pittsburgh,
public
art,
I'm
liz,
Barrentine
and
we're
here
today
with
Morton
Brown,
the
city's
public
art
manager
and
today
we're
discussing
the
cube
tension.
Sculpture,
that's
located
in
bull
community
park.
Can
you
tell
us
the
story
behind
the
sculpture,
yeah.
C
It
was
commissioned
by
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
in
the
late
sixties,
1969.
It
was
designed
and
fabricated
by
a
local
architect.
/
artist
named
Sylvester,
Damiano
sirsilla
dominoes
he's
still
around
here
in
Pittsburgh.
It
was
a
sort
of
a
piece
of
its
time.
The
minimalist
abstract
sculpture
was
very
popular
at
that
time.
C
So
this
presented
a
lot
of
challenges
to
the
designer
and
to
the
commissioning
agent,
but
the
designer
really
pulled
it
off.
Well,
it
once
in
when
it
was
first
installed,
had
a
rectangular
reflecting
pool
underneath
it
and
it's
set
on
stilts,
so
it
sort
of
floated
or
hovered
above
this
sunken
reflecting
pool
over
time.
The
water
feature
just
fell
in
disrepair
was
not
ever
cost-effective
to
repair
it,
so
the
city
filled
it
in
with
mulch,
but
it
sort
of
still
kind
of
retained
a
little
bit
that
floating
nature.
C
It
was
painted
blue
at
one
time
it's
supposed
to
be
read
as
it
is
today.
We
have
recently
restored
it.
It
had
a
lot
of
pop
marks
over
the
years,
some
recent
graffiti,
but
the
city
I
worked
with
still
recently
to
fully
restore
it
back
to
its
red
color,
and
now
that
it's
red,
not
blue,
it's
no
longer
invisible.
C
It
does
go
back
to
its
original
intent,
being
bright,
red
and
signify
that
Plaza
that
it's
public
use
and
not
a
drive
way.
You
can
see
it
from
the
edges
of
the
circle
if
you're
driving
around
the
circle,
if
you're
coming
in
on
from
the
ridge
avenue
side
from
the
park
side
or
if
you're,
coming
from
the
other
direction
on
East
Ohio
Street,
you
can
see
straight
through
the
center
and
you
see
this
red
tube,
sculpture
and
now
it
makes
a
lot
more
sense
in
it's.
B
Great,
I'm
really
happy
to
hear
that
it's
been
restored
to
its
original
color,
because
very
eye-catching
piece.
So
now
we're
going
to
meet
with
sil
Damiano,
the
sculpture
artist,
who
created
this
piece
to
learn
more
about
his
take.
Well.
Thank
you
so
much
for
joining
us
today.
It's
really
nice
to
meet
you!
It's.
A
I
got
into
art.
First
of
all,
I
have
to
tell
you
that,
because
I
was
not
trained
as
an
artist,
I
was
trained
as
an
architect
but
Malloy.
My
wife
is
a
painter
and
when
I
was
in
the
Army,
I
decided
I
needed
to
do
something
with
my
spare
time
so
my
wife
became
my
teacher
and
I
got
involved.
Painting
we
had
met
in
a
ceramics
class
throwing
pots,
actually
it
kind
of
even
Carnegie
Tech
back
then
carnegie,
mellon
l
and
I
painted
Kate.
A
B
A
A
A
I
mean
they
were
interested.
You
know
they
were
trying
to
take
advantage
of
the
fact
that
there
were
a
lot
of
pretty
decent
artist
living
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
and
they
were
helping
to
promote
their
growth
and
they
have
because
right
now,
Pittsburgh
is
I.
Think
pretty
well
endowed
with
some
very
good
artists,
and
they
were
very
good
about
it.
Then
I
was
surprised.
He
meant
I
had
society.
A
I
had
no
history
or
or
no
previous
record
of
involvement
like
this,
and
so
I
was
excited
by
the
prospect
and
then
three
years
later,
when
I
had
a
chance
to
help
redesign
this
doping.
Here,
the
library
I
mean
in
a
feature
at
here
with
this
piece
of
sculpture,
was
incredible
back
when
the
photograph
was
taken.
That's
in
the
catalog
is
available
now
that
these
trees
weren't
here.
So
you
could
see
this
piece
in
context
with
the
with
library,
so.
A
A
Well,
you
have
to
recognize
that
this
was
done
at
the
time
when
minimal
art
was
really.
You
know
a
big
thing
today,
people
look
at
and
probably
saved
yeah.
My
kids
can
do
that.
You
know,
but
it
was
at
a
time
when
minimal
art
was
being
produced
nationally
and
internationally
and
I
always
had
a
sort
of
a
personal
challenge
to
prove
that
it
can
be
done
with
the
simplicity
in
craftsmanship.
This.
