TED: Janet Echelman, "Soft" Sculptures



Janet's really on to something, though she also brings up some big questions:


  • How does she win funding? How much is public, how much, private?
  • Why do cities "need" public art? What is the value of a "sense of place"?
  • What exactly is the appeal of "soft" sculpture? It seems to me that it looks futuristic. How does that factor into "sense of place"?
I imagine Janet has been thinking these things through, so she's worth keeping an eye on!
