TEMPE, Ariz. – “Mighty Manimal March,” the second of a two-part temporary,
shared-terrain public art exhibition was installed on Friday October 12
Friday on the ASU Gammage lawn, at the northeast corner of Mill Avenue and
Apache Boulevard.
Seattle artist Nicole Kistler, formerly of Tempe, will install a more than
160 commercially produced plastic, latex and fiberglass animal lawn
ornaments, such as deer, flamingoes and coyotes on the Gammage lawn. The
menagerie features 64 flamingoes, 30 penguins, five pelicans, seven iguanas
and lizards, two pythons, 10 chicks, a baby elephant named “Bessie,” 11 wild
boar, 20 rabbits, four squirrels, six reindeer and three bears. She intends
to arrange this “river” of animals so that they appear to be on a protest
march or leaving class together and chatting about the course material.
The installation will be on display through December (date pending).
Shared Terrain exhibitions are intended to explore the blurred territory and
shared history where the university meets the city. Pedestrians and
passengers of the thousands of vehicles that pass through this area can
receive a new perspective on the familiar territory and expand their
awareness of site-responsive artwork.
This exhibition furthers the arts district concept of Mill Avenue, which
begins at Gammage Auditorium and includes the Music Building, ASU Art Museum
and the Ceramics Research Center and several School of Art galleries.
