University of Illinois Art in Architecture at Natural History Building – Globe Sculpture Budget: $40,000 Deadline: 04/03/2023 Call Summary The School of Earth, Society and Environment (SESE), together with the School of Integrative Biology (SIB) do research on Earth and Earth processes, including the biosphere (the plants and animals), the geosphere (the solid earth, its continents, oceans and mountains), the atmosphere (weather, storms, and climate), and human society (social science, geography, and geographic information). The objective for this globe sculpture is to depict on it these four components: weather and storms, continents, mountains and oceans, human society (cities, farmland), and living things (rainforests, animals etc.). The vision is to be able to identify these components when admiring this interior globe sculpture for the Natural History Building at the University of Illinois in Champaign/Urbana. Project Description The Natural History Building, located at 1301 West Green Street, Urbana, was designed by the prominent architect, Nathan Ricker, and was constructed in three phases between 1892 and 1924. Its exterior facade of red brick has a Victorian look. The building is officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The NHB Renovation and Construction Project, which took 7 years and cost nearly $79 million, involved a complete gutting and reconstruction of the building’s interior. The 156,000 sq. ft. building now hosts state-of-the-art lecture halls, instructional labs, classrooms, research laboratories, and offices. These serve all components of the three academic departments of SESE, and the teaching components of SIB. Because of the nature of the academic activities that take place in the building, the committee is seeking to procure a sculpture of the earth which shall depict and communicate in a realistic, naturalistic, or even abstract way, an aspect of the geological and biologic history. Eligibility This RFA solicitation for public art is open to all professional artists, artisans, or artist-led teams currently residing and legally permitted to work in the United States. Faculty, instructors, and staff of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign as well as degree seeking fine art students are not eligible to apply.
