Percent-for-Art commissions are ongoing for four building projects.
Julian Charrière was selected as the artist for the Cecil and Ida Green Building (Building 54) and Earth and Environmental Pavilion (Building 55), and Spencer Finch was selected for the Stephen A. Schwarzman College of Computing (Building 45). Both of these works were installed in the Fall of 2023, which is technically in the next reporting period, but we couldn't wait to share the news! Opening celebration events with the artists will be held for Charrière and Finch in February 2024 and March 2024, respectively.
Looking ahead, Sanford Biggers was chosen as the artist for the new Music Building, W18 which is scheduled for completion in the fall 2024.
Commissions for the new School of Architecture and Planning at the Metropolitan Warehouse (an interior work) is still under consideration.
We joined over 200 cultural institutions from around the world on the Bloomberg Connects mobile application. This was a major project that has made information about our Public Art Collection and all recent exhibitions accessible to the global audiences who engage with this app. We introduced new content including audio guides for each of our exhibitions which are also accessible through the app.
