1
00:00:08.780 --> 00:00:16.300
I mean it's a, as if you know my work, but I always work in terms of common objects.

2
00:00:16.300 --> 00:00:18.300
You don't work here.

3
00:00:18.620 --> 00:00:19.660
You're as big as I am.

4
00:00:19.840 --> 00:00:20.100
Okay.

5
00:00:29.500 --> 00:00:36.120
He made a list of goals, things that he desired for American art.

6
00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:44.560
And I thought that it would be appropriate to be reminded of what his earlier ambitions were.

7
00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:47.800
Oldenburg Road.

8
00:00:51.500 --> 00:00:57.780
I am for an art that grows up not knowing it's art at all.

9
00:00:58.140 --> 00:01:03.620
An art given the chance of having started at the point of zero.

10
00:01:05.320 --> 00:01:11.840
I am for an art that imitates the human, that's comic, and that takes its form from life itself.

11
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:14.100
A little old slugger.

12
00:01:15.880 --> 00:01:19.840
I think he got it from the White Sox because they got holes in their bats too.

13
00:01:20.540 --> 00:01:21.320
They must have.

14
00:01:23.600 --> 00:01:32.100
I am for an art that tells you the time of day where such and such a street is.

15
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:39.740
And I am for an art that helps little old ladies and demonstrators across the street.

16
00:01:41.940 --> 00:01:44.020
Into the wagon.

17
00:01:44.780 --> 00:01:47.800
Few artists achieve their goals so completely.

18
00:01:49.100 --> 00:01:55.660
And few artists make art that is so close to the everyday lives of all.

19
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:08.140
Only that which it recognizes, loves, respects.

20
00:02:09.460 --> 00:02:12.040
No, this exists today.

21
00:02:12.780 --> 00:02:13.700
This is the White Forger.

22
00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:18.540
He sets out on that same journey to the uteria.

23
00:02:19.760 --> 00:02:21.480
Seeking the essentials.

24
00:02:23.180 --> 00:02:24.640
Bringing back his account.

25
00:02:26.460 --> 00:02:28.340
The account's different widely.

26
00:02:30.760 --> 00:02:32.140
The return of a familiar.

27
00:02:33.020 --> 00:02:34.260
Daily dread of life.

28
00:02:35.600 --> 00:02:39.740
I am for an art that imitates the human, he wrote.

29
00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:42.140
That is comic if necessary.

30
00:02:43.200 --> 00:02:43.760
Or violent.

31
00:02:44.660 --> 00:02:45.840
Whatever is necessary.

32
00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:52.180
I am for an art that takes its form from the lines of life.

33
00:02:53.220 --> 00:02:55.840
The twists and the extended toss of art.

34
00:02:56.440 --> 00:02:59.560
In the right place, at the right time.

35
00:03:04.260 --> 00:03:04.260


36
00:03:34.260 --> 00:03:41.180
Late in the 19th century without ceremony was launched what has become known as the Chicago School of Architecture.

37
00:03:41.780 --> 00:03:50.340
An original indigenous and organic architecture which has affected the design and construction of office buildings throughout the world.

38
00:03:51.660 --> 00:03:56.340
All around us are the works of the architectural giants of the time.

39
00:03:56.540 --> 00:03:59.200
William LaVar and Jenny, Daniel Burnham.

40
00:04:00.300 --> 00:04:03.740
Have received the same support as the people of Chicago.

41
00:04:04.160 --> 00:04:12.140
Meese Bandero, Harry Weese, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, Birdman, Perkins, Goldberg, Perkins & Will, and CF Perkins.

42
00:04:12.500 --> 00:04:16.240
Have all made significant contributions to the environment of the city.

43
00:04:17.400 --> 00:04:22.980
The buildings themselves are art forms of their time and can be classified as art and architecture.

44
00:04:22.980 --> 00:04:30.540
The art forms, within some, have been made included the sculptor, the painter, and the weaver to form a totality of design.

45
00:04:31.760 --> 00:04:40.000
On Dearborn Street starting with the City-County-Band, the history of civilizations through their surviving artworks we judge the achievements of their culture.

46
00:04:41.100 --> 00:04:46.440
Ours, especially in the 20th century, has produced a wide diversity of expression in its art forms.

47
00:04:46.440 --> 00:04:58.060
The ISPSA has commissioned, where it's recently constructed, a project that has been created in the culture of the early and late 20th century.

48
00:04:59.320 --> 00:05:07.220
They represent a period in time in our society of painting, literature, and design of a company that didn't exist before.

49
00:05:07.220 --> 00:05:12.840
It adds to our experience. Art and architecture give the human dimension.

50
00:05:13.340 --> 00:05:15.320
The visual interest today is streamlined.

51
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:17.640
The positive vision is building.

52
00:05:18.760 --> 00:05:20.840
This is what the Batcom does here.

53
00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:24.780
We're very pleased to have been a part of this project and to have permission to...
