Downtown Tacoma
Work continues on Theater District art installation
Posted online Mon., Nov. 2 Article By Todd Matthews, Editor Photos Courtesy Jonathan Clarren Work continues on a major art installation created by Seattle-based sculptor and painter Jonathan Clarren and slated for downtown Tacoma's Theater District. The art installation consists of a trio of three-dimensional metal, laser-cut half-spheres that range in diameter between three feet, five feet, and eight feet, and feature an intricate design pattern. The pieces will be bolted to a blank facade situated between the historic Kress Building, located at 934-936 Broadway, and the historic C. N. Gardner Building, located at 928-930 Broadway. Once installed, the art is expected to "cast unique shadow patterns on the wall enhancing the display and always changing," according to a proposal prepared by property owner and local commercial real estate broker Eric Cederstrand. The project is estimated to cost approximately $20,000 to $25,000. Tacoma's Landmarks Preservation Commission approved the proposal earlier this year (see "Art installation approved for downtown Tacoma Theater District facade," Tacoma Daily Index, May 29, 2015; and "Art installation proposed for downtown Tacoma Theater District facade," Tacoma Daily Index, May 11, 2015). The Tacoma Daily Index published a feature article and interview with Clarren in October (see "Art installation aims to illuminate Tacoma's Theater District, Tacoma Daily Index, Oct. 16, 2015). Last week, Clarren e-mailed the Tacoma Daily Index with the latest information and photographs related to the project. "I now have the three-foot sphere in the shop," wrote Clarren. "We are revising the process slightly for the [five-foot sphere], which will begin next week. I am also waiting on the light elements to come in so we can finalize that. We are getting there. The [eight-foot sphere] is going to be big. Anyway, It's all very exciting for me. Here are some images of the progress. The machine is up and running since we spoke. Things are moving along. The metal will look much nicer when it is coated and finalized."
