Barth Avenue Bench was created as a seating area for visitors using the Pleasant Run Trail. It was constructed from elements of the old Barth Avenue car bridge, which was removed and reconstructed in 2015 as a pedestrian-only bridge to allow more people to safely access both sides of the Pleasant Run waterway.
Indianapolis-based artist Brian McCutcheon designed the sculptural bench; it was fabricated by Indianapolis Fabrications (iFab). McCutcheon works in video, photography, and sculpture. He has been the recipient of a number of artist grants, awards, and residencies, including a 2010-11 Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant and a summer 2009 residency at Sculpture Space in Utica, New York. Since 2006, his work has been featured in a wide range of exhibitions on a national and international scale. More about the artist can be found at http://brianmccutcheon.com/
Improving the area around the Barth Avenue Bridge is a project of Reconnecting To Our Waterways, a collective impact initiative to enrich the livability of Indianapolis and the well-being of residents by generating new and sustainable opportunities to learn about and experience art, nature, and beauty along targeted natural waterways and the neighborhoods around them.
