"My work comes from the experience of crowds, injustice, and aggression... I feel an affinity for art when it was made a form of existence, like when shamans worked in the territory between men and unknown powers... I try to bewitch the crowd." "I feel overawed by quantity where counting no longer makes sense. By unrepeatability within such a quantity. By creatures of nature gathered in herds, droves, species, in which each individual, while subservient to the mass, retains some distinguishing features. A crowd of people, birds, insects, or leaves is a mysterious assemblage of variants of certain prototype. A riddle of nature's abhorrence of exact repetition or inability to produce it. Just as the human hand cannot repeat its own gesture, I invoke this disturbing law, switching my own immobile herds into that rhythm." www.abakanowicz.art.pl en.wikipedia.org music - Warszawa by David Bowie

Agora" is a art piece crafted by Polish artist Magdalena Abakanowicz. The work comprises 106 headless and armless cast iron figures. Each is over 9 feet tall and weighs nearly eleven hundred pounds. The figures sit at the south end of Grant Park, near the corner of Roosevelt Road and Michigan Avenue. They remind me of the bottoms of the Easter Island figures. The sculpture is among a number of public art pieces by major 20th Century artist that adorn downtown Chicago. How appropriate for a place known as the city of builders.

Nebojte se vzít na výstavu Magdaleny Abakanowicz i děti! Součástí expozice je i dětský koutek, kde děti můžou plnit úkoly z pracovních listů, kreslit si, anebo se podívat na dvě krátká videa. Tady je první z nich, inspirované animovaným seriálem "Minuta v muzeu". Z rozhovoru táty a dcerky se děti dozvědí (doufáme, že srozumitelnou a zároveň atraktivní formou) informace o životě a tvorbě Magdaleny Abakanowicz. Autorem scénáře David Hrbek, autorem animace Lukáš Uchytil... Komentář čtou Zuzanka Hrbková a Jakub Potůček. Film vznikl ve spolupráci s Audiovizuálním centrem Univerzity Palackého.

La musique: (Turn it up to get the full effect) This is "Engine Driver" by The Decemberists. Needless to say, I (as well as the picklettes) find it heartbreaking and beautiful and so true: I am a writer, writer of fictions ... and if you don't love me, let me go... Le film: (I really like film-making :) ) I meant this to seem surreal, ghastly, and jarring--like a nightmare and a dream at the same time. All the footage is from this morning in Chicago... mainly around the sculpture garden of Agora by Magdalena Abakanowicz which is by far my favorite piece of sculpture ever--it is gorgeous with its headless, armless gente... and the hazy bits are from the perspective of my antique Super Ricoh Flex camera which appears in some shots... my nose was running... the wind was crazy... Hope it's smashing and hope you like :) Love, J-tine brionoke - 2012

One hundred and six of them to be exact trying to walking across the far end of this lakefront park. That's part of the great thing about Grant Park is that you have such a mixture of the works of art. Less than a forty yards from this work is the hundred plus year old Rosenberg fountian which is as ornate a water fountian as you will find. The striking work in this video is by Magdalena Abakanowicz and is on permanent loan to Chicago from the polish government. For the whole story behind this work here is a link to the Wiki page. en.wikipedia.org One of a series of public art clips produced for ChiTownView by MindsiMedia we are an Internet broadcaster with a series of YouTube channels.
