My proffesor,Pat Steadman,came up to my studio this weekend.Although I have keept in touch over twenty years,we have not worked together sence we where in Cortona Italy in 85.We are collaborating on a monumental sculpture for the University of Georgia Southern's new phase 111 art department.He is retiring next year,over thirty years at same school,and I will be at twenty full time.We are totally different when it comes to are sculpture,and are styles are night and day.There is also a little thing called budget,which dictates what you can or can't do.We have 28 3"x20'x1/4'' stainless sguare tube.He wants to reresent structure,and I form.I think we will use the 3" to get us up in the air where my forms will be flying high.The sculpture will be 25to 30 tall.The largest sculpture I have built is only 14'x10' so this is new territory for me.I think the most stressfull part is getting the model right ,and approved,then probally actually installing this sculpture in sections on location.I a 1.5 years to do it,they have not broke ground yet.I also have a documentary film maker who wants to document it,but he wants full rights and ownership of the film?I figure at his cost why not,but proffes was not real keen on that.Anybody have this experience before,and how did you resolve it?
