Monument with Standing Beast

Monument with Standing Beast is a sculpture by Jean Dubuffet previously located in front of the James R. Thompson Center in the Loop community area of Chicago, Illinois. History and description It was across the street from Chicago City Hall to the South and diagonal across the street from the Daley Center to the southeast. Weighing 10 short tons (8.9 long tons; 9.1 t), the structure was made of fiberglass and was 29 feet (8.8 m) tall. It was unveiled on November 28, 1984. The state government announced plans to relocate the sculpture after Alphabet Inc. acquired the building in 2022. It was dismantled in the spring of 2024 and was bound for a state warehouse. This is one of Dubuffet's three monumental sculpture commissions in the United States. It has been taken to represent a standing animal, a tree, a portal and an architectural form. The sculpture is based on Dubuffet's 1960 painting series Hourloupe. The sculpture and the series of figural and landscape designs it is a part of reflects his thoughts of earliest monumental commission, for the One Chase Manhattan Plaza. The sculpture is one of 19 commissioned artworks funded under the State of Illinois Art-in-Architecture Program throughout the building. This was commissioned by the Capital Development Board of Illinois. The sculpture is affectionately known to many Chicagoans as "Snoopy in a blender".

Monument à la bête debout

Monument à la bête debout (Monument with Standing Beast) est une sculpture monumentale de l'artiste français Jean Dubuffet située juste en face du James R. Thompson Center dans le secteur financier du Loop à Chicago, dans l'État de l'Illinois, aux États-Unis. Réalisée en 1984, cette structure en polyépoxyde peint au polyuréthane fait 8,8 mètres de hauteur. Dubuffet a réalisé sa maquette en 1969, dans le cadre du projet pour la commande de la Chase Manhattan Bank, à New York, qui a finalement retenu le Groupe de quatre arbres. Conception Le Monument à la bête debout devait être la partie d'un ensemble de plusieurs sculptures monumentales, disposées selon un parcours, et reliées entre elles par des ouvertures amovibles, sortes de portes ou éléments « hourloupiens », selon le terme employé souvent par l'artiste lui-même. Outre le Groupe des quatre arbres, un Monument fantôme devait s'ajouter à l'ensemble. La commande passée par l'homme d'affaires et milliardaire américain David Rockefeller a été ensuite révisée. Le Monument à la bête debout a été installé à proximité immédiate de l'hôtel de ville de Chicago, juste devant l'entrée principale du James R. Thompson Center, où il porte le nom de Monument with Standing Beast. L'ensemble est composé d'un animal debout, d'un arbre, d'une arche et de divers éléments architecturaux. Il a été commandé à Dubuffet par le Capital Development Board de l'Illinois (Illinois Capital Development Board). La sculpture est faite d'un plastique à renfort de verre, il s'agit d'un matériau composite constitué d'une matrice polymère (appelée résine) renforcée par des fibres ou parfois par des microsphères de verre. Elle est l'une des 19 œuvres d'art commandées et financées dans le cadre du programme Art-in-Architecture de l'État de l'Illinois. Histoire Le Monument à la bête debout a été financé par la Fondation Leonard J. Horwich, la Fondation Graham et des anonymes. Dubuffet était particulièrement apprécié à Chicago où son travail trouvait de nombreux amateurs depuis de nombreuses années, comme l'Art Institute of Chicago, qui a acquis plusieurs œuvres de l'artiste dès les années 1950. Le monument pèse dix tonnes environ, et il est affectueusement surnommé par de nombreux Chicagoans « Snoopy in a Blender » (littéralement « Snoopy dans un mixeur ») pour une raison que l'on ignore.

Moraine Hills State Park

Moraine Hills State Park is an Illinois state park on 2,200 acres (890 ha) in McHenry County, Illinois, United States. History The McHenry dam was constructed in 1907 on the Fox River near McHenry, Illinois. The dam was donated to the state in 1924 and a new dam was built in 1934. McHenry Dam State Park was founded in 1939 with the purchase of 15 acres (6.1 ha) of land on the east bank of the river. Property on the west bank of the river was donated to the state Division of Water Resources in the early 1960s. In 1971, the state began to acquire land surrounding Lake Defiance, then constructed park facilities in 1975. Renamed Moraine Hills State Park, the park was opened to the public in October 1976.

Moraine View State Recreation Area

The Moraine View State Recreation Area is a state park operated by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) of the U.S. state of Illinois. The 1,687 acre (6.7 km2) recreation area is located near Le Roy, Illinois. The predecessor of Moraine View, the McLean County Conservation Area, traces its history to 1959. The park was renamed Moraine View State Park in 1975, then Moraine View State Recreation Area in 1995. It is managed for active recreation, including camping, hiking, swimming, boating, hunting and fishing. Camping available includes Class A sites with electricity and nearby modern toilet and shower facilities, to group camps and primitive backpacking sites. Hunters use the park for whitetail deer, pheasant, and wild turkey. Moraine View was one of eleven state parks slated to close indefinitely on November 1, 2008 due to budget cuts by former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich. It reopened to the public on February 26, 2009. Dawson Lake The centerpiece of Moraine View is the 158 acre (0.6 km2) Dawson Lake, an artificial reservoir built in 1962-1963. Fish stocked in the lake by the DNR include largemouth bass, bluegill (the state fish of Illinois), sunfish, bullhead, crappie, channel catfish, walleye, yellow perch and northern pike. Geology Moraine View State Recreation Area is located atop a moraine, a low, rolling ridge located where a vanished ice sheet dumped ground rock and till while melting. Moraines are common post-glacial geological features, and can be found throughout the U.S. Midwest. This moraine was produced by the Wisconsin glaciation, about 70,000 to 10,000 years before present. Moraine View SRA is the headwaters for Salt Creek, a major tributary of the Sangamon River, one of the largest rivers in central Illinois. The northeastern face of the same moraine, outside the state recreation area, is the headwaters of the main stem of the Sangamon. Although Salt Creek and the main stem of the Sangamon arise on opposite sides of this moraine, they flow more than 80 miles (130 km) west before they meet again. 2008 closing Moraine View State Recreation Area was one of eleven state parks slated to close indefinitely on November 1, 2008 due to budget cuts by former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich. After delay, which restored funding for some of the parks, a proposal to close seven state parks and a dozen state historic sites, including Moraine View, went ahead on November 30, 2008. After the Illinois Governor Blagojevich was impeached and removed from office, new governor Pat Quinn reopened the closed state parks in February. References External links State of Illinois
