Abraham Lincoln: The Head of State

La Abraham Lincoln: The Head of State (denominata anche Seated Lincoln o Sitting Lincoln) è una statua bronzea alta 2,7 m raffigurante il presidente degli Stati Uniti d'America Abraham Lincoln, posizionata nel Grant Park (Chicago). Creata da Augustus Saint-Gaudens e completata dal suo laboratorio artistico nel 1908, fu intesa ad evocare la solitudine e il peso avvertito dal comandante in capo durante la presidenza di Abraham Lincoln. La scultura raffigura un Lincoln contemplativo seduto su una sedia mentre dirige lo sguardo in lontananza, verso l'orizzonte. L'opera è posta su un piedistallo e un'esedra larga 46 metri progettata dall'architetto Stanford White. Sebbene non così noto come la Abraham Lincoln: The Man dello stesso autore (nel Lincoln Park), il monumento dimostra gli anni di attenzione che lo scultore ha speso per riuscire a catturare il presidente in una luce molto cupa. Prima di essere installata nell'attuale ubicazione nel 1926, è stato esposto sia al Metropolitan Museum of Art di New York che all'esposiione internazionale del Golden Gate a San Francisco nel 1915. La sezione di Grant Park dove si trova questa statua di Lincoln è stata designata come la "Corte dei presidenti" nel piano per il parco, ma, a tutt'oggi, questo è l'unico monumento relativo che è stato innalzato.

Abraham Lincoln: The Man

La Abraham Lincoln: The Man (denominata anche Standing Lincoln) è una statua in bronzo raffigurante il 16° presidente degli Stati Uniti d'America Abraham Lincoln dalle dimensioni superiori ai 3,7 metri. L'opera originale si trova nel Lincoln Park (Chicago) e diverse repliche sono state nel tempo installate in altri luoghi in tutto il mondo; completata da Augustus Saint-Gaudens nel 1887 viene descritta per essere la scultura più importante di Lincoln dell'intero XIX secolo. All'epoca della realizzazione il New York Post la definì "il più importante traguardo che la scultura americana abbia mai raggiunto". Il giovane Abraham Lincoln II - l'unico nipote diretto dell'ex uomo di Stato (figlio di Robert Todd Lincoln) - era presente, tra una folla di oltre 10.000 persone, alla presentazione. L'artista in seguito creerà la parallela scultura Abraham Lincoln: The Head of State posizionata nel Grant Park (Chicago). Progettazione La scultura raffigura un contemplativo Lincoln appena alzatosi da una sedia, ed apparentemente in procinto di tenere un discorso. Si trova su un piedistallo e, a Chicago, l'esedra venne ideata e progettata dall'architetto Stanford White. L'uomo d'affari della città di Chicago Eli Bates (1806 - 1881) riservò 40000 $ nel suo testamento per poter far realizzare al meglio il lavoro. Saint-Gaudens venne selezionato appositamente per la commissione dopo che un concorso di progettazione non riuscì a produrre un vincitore che risultasse abbastanza convincente; l'artista, che riverirà per tutta la sua esistenza la figura ed il personaggio dello statista assassinato, ebbe la ventura di vedere di persona Lincoln al momento della sua 1° inaugurazione avvenuta il 4 marzo del 1861. In seguito vedrà anche il suo corpo senza vita giacente sul catafalco durante il funerale di Stato. Nello studio preparatorio farà anche affidamento sulla relativa maschera mortuaria fabbricata da Leonard Wells Volk subito dopo la sua scompparsa. Mentre progettava e lavorava sulla Standing Lincoln Saint-Gaudens fu inizialmente attratto da quella che sarebbe in seguito divenuta la sua casa e il suo studio, oltre che una colonia di artisti a lui associati. Difatti per convincerlo ad intraprendere per la prima volta una vacanza nei pressi di Cornish (New Hampshire) un amico di famiglia gli disse che la zona vantava "molti uomini con le forme e somiglianze di Lincoln".

Agora (sculpture)

Agora is an installation of 106 headless and armless iron sculptures at the south end of Grant Park in Chicago, Illinois. Designed by Polish artist Magdalena Abakanowicz, they were made in a foundry near Poznań between 2004 and 2006. In 2006, the Chicago Park District brought the work to Chicago as a permanent loan from the Polish Ministry of Culture. Similar installations have been constructed throughout the world, but Agora is among the largest. History and description Chicago, which has a large Polish American community, had hoped to add a major work by Abakanowicz for several years before Agora arrived. Among the plans which were not realized were a large hand to be placed at the end of BP Pedestrian Bridge and a set of animal sculptures to be placed near the Monroe Street harbor. One proposal called for a group of headless figures be placed in Chicago's Museum Campus. Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley eventually suggested placing an installation at the south end of Grant Park, near Roosevelt Road. By 2006, private donors, including actor Robin Williams, contributed over $700,000 to bring the work to Chicago. The figures are 9 ft (2.7 m) tall and weigh approximately 1,800 lb (820 kg). Each is made from a hollow, seamless piece of iron that has been allowed to rust, creating a reddish appearance and a bark-like texture. The figures appear to be milling about in a crowd; some face each other, while others look away. Visitors are meant to walk through the sculptures and contemplate the work. The name Agora refers to the urban meeting places of the Ancient Greek city-states. Abakanowicz, who grew up during World War II, has said that her art draws on her fear of crowds, which she once described as "brainless organisms acting on command, worshiping on command and hating on command". However, the work has inspired optimistic interpretations. Kevin Nance of the Chicago Sun-Times wrote, "If they had arms and hands (they don't), these would be clasped behind their backs as if in contemplation. They seem, somehow, to be thinking, not as a group but as individuals. [...] It's possible, in fact, to interpret the piece as a representation of democracy." Reception Agora received a mixed response from the people of Chicago. "I get e-mails from people loving it and people hating it. There's nothing in between," said Bob O'Neill. Mayor Daley lauded the work, saying, "You've got to go through it yourself to feel the spirit of the artist and each piece of artwork."

Агора (скульптура)

Агора (англ. Agora) — инсталляция из 106 безголовых и безруких железных скульптур в южной части Грант-парка в Чикаго. Создана польским скульптором Магдаленой Абаканович и изготовлена на литейном заводе недалеко от Познани в 2004—2006 годах. В 2006 году Управление парками Чикаго получило работу от Министерства культуры Польши и привезло её в Чикаго. Подобные инсталляции установлены во всём мире, среди них «Агора» является одной из крупнейших. История и описание Чикаго, где проживает большое польско-американское сообщество, планировал установить у себя крупную работу Магдалены Абаканович за несколько лет до Агоры. Рассматривали, но не реализовали, установку скульптуры «большой руки» в конце пешеходного моста British Petroleum и фигур животных около гавани улицы Монро. Агору предлагали разместить в Музейном кампусе Чикаго. Мэр Чикаго Ричард Дейли в конечном итоге выбрал местом инсталляции южную часть Грант-парка, недалеко от Рузвельт-роуд. К 2006 году частные спонсоры, в том числе актёр Робин Уильямс, пожертвовали более 700 000 $ на установку работы в Чикаго. Высота фигур составляет 2,7 м, вес — около 820 кг. Каждая сделана из полого бесшовного куска железа, фигурам дали проржаветь, что придало им красноватый цвет и текстуру, напоминающую кору. Фигуры, кажется, бродят в толпе; некоторые смотрят друг на друга, другие смотрят в сторону. По замыслу автора, посетители ходят среди скульптур и рассматривают работу. Название «Агора» означает место народных собраний в древнегреческих городах-государствах. Магдалена Абаканович, выросшая во время Второй мировой войны, сказала, что её искусство опирается на её страх перед толпами людей, которые она когда-то описала как «безмозглые организмы, действующие по команде, поклоняющиеся по команде и ненавидящие по команде». Тем не менее, работа вдохновила и оптимистические интерпретации. Кевин Нэнс (англ. Kevin Nance) из Chicago Sun-Times писал: Критика Агора получила полярные отзывы от жителей Чикаго. «Я получаю электронные письма от людей, одним она нравится, другие её ненавидят. Промежуточных мнений нет», — сказал Боб О’Нил, президент консультативного совета Грант-парка. Мэр Дейли похвалил работу, сказав: «Вы должны пройти через неё сами и почувствовать дух автора, каждой части этого произведения искусства».

Airtight Bridge

The Airtight Bridge is a steel bridge spanning the Embarras River in Coles County, Illinois, in the United States 8 miles (13 km) north of Charleston, Illinois. The bridge is a Pratt through truss bridge with a steel structure, a wooden deck, and concrete piers. The bridge was built in 1914 by the Decatur Bridge Company and designed by engineer Claude L. James. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1981. It reportedly got its name from the unnatural stillness encountered when crossing it. In 1980, a dismembered corpse was found on the east bank of the river 30 yards downstream from the bridge, leading to significant local press attention. Police investigated for years, but were unable to determine the identity of the victim until 1992, when DNA testing produced a match to a missing person from Kankakee, Illinois. Once a cold case investigated by the Illinois State Police, the victim's husband was charged with the murder on March 2, 2017.

Akiba-Schechter Jewish Day School

Akiba-Schechter Jewish Day School is a private Jewish day school in Hyde Park, Chicago. It is the only Jewish school on Chicago's South Side and attracts a wide range of students from across the Chicago metropolitan area. Tuition for the 2023-2024 school year is between $24,730 and $26,190 based on grade level. History The school came into existence in 1972 through the merger of an Orthodox-affiliated school, Akiba South Side Jewish Day School (founded in 1949), and a school affiliated with the Conservative movement, Solomon Schechter South Side School (founded in 1965). Since the merger, Akiba-Schechter has been run under the auspices of both the Associated Talmud Torahs (Orthodox), the Board of Jewish Education (Community), and now the Jewish United Fund of Chicago. In 1998, the School purchased from Congregation Rodfei Zedek two buildings in which it had operated since 1972: Hoffman House (home to the elementary school) and a 1965 building, used for the pre-school. In 2005, Hoffman House was replaced by a new elementary school building designed by John Ronan. Ronan has received numerous prestigious awards for the new building, including an award from the Chicago Architecture Foundation. During the summer of 2007, a major renovation of the original 1965 building was undertaken, including upgrades of the heating, cooling, plumbing, and electrical systems, and installation of modern exterior windows. The second phase of the renovation is planned and will include interior finishes, a renovated administrative office suite that features a new Teacher Resource Library and the renovation and expansion of the Pre-School playground. In 2012, a lawsuit was filed against Akiba-Schechter making allegations of racial discrimination against a Black former student. Akiba is under the leadership of Principal Miriam Kass. Over the past 15 years, Ms. Kass has worn many hats at Akiba-Schechter. She was the president of the Board of Directors, an award-winning 3rd/4th grade teacher, and most recently the Director of Teaching and Learning. In all her roles, she employs creative strategies and relishes opportunities to build community and strengthen characters. Pre-school The Pre-School was founded in 1982. The preschool is now led by Carla Goldberg, a Kohl McCormick Early Childhood Teaching Award winner in 2000. Akiba-Schechter's Pre-School and Kindergarten is a NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children) accredited program. The Preschool uses a play-based and Reggio Emilia-inspired curriculum. Unlike the Grade School, the preschool is open to non-Jews.
