These artists provide interactive and experiential art, a wide variety of mediums ranging from glass to engaging-based sculptures and will create artworks unique to La Quinta. If approved, these artists will receive requests for proposals for future art installations. Applications for the City’s prequalified artist list is on a rolling basis and the fourth-round of artists will be presented at a later Commission meeting. ALTERNATIVES The alternative is to accept all, some, or no artists from this round. Prepared by: Jaime Torres, Community Resources Management Analyst Approved by: Chris Escobedo, Community Resources Director BUSINESS SESSION ITEM NO. 1 DAAS Based: Austin, Texas Web: www.artist-daas.com Instagram: @daas Email: iamdaas@gmail.com Phone: 727-307-6185 DAAS is an American contemporary artist, internationally recognized for his vibrant, colorful and engaging paintings and murals. Based in Austin, Texas, he began painting at an early age, eventually gaining a degree in commercial art and graphic design. DAAS' work is instantly recognizable for the combination of cubist and abstract elements which result in portraits of humans and animals. The angles and lines of the work are reminiscent of origami folds and utilize a distinguishable array of color combinations to convey emotion and put forward a positive narrative. “My art serves as a reﬂection of the community in which it resides. This could be in abstract representations or more literal interpretations of the community. I tend to lean towards using representational imagery to convey the message of the work. My goal is to create works of public art that are inspiring, uplifting and encouraging through use of positive imagery that is relatable to the widest variety of people, regardless of age, race or gender.” - DAAS His artwork and murals can be seen around the globe in countries such as: Japan, China, Portugal, Italy, Jordan, USA, Nepal and the Dominican Republic. ATTACHMENT 1 12/23/19 City of La Quinta Pre-Qualiﬁed Artist Program, CA Dear City of La Quinta Artist Program and Lebasse Projects, I am writing in response to the Call To Artists for the Pre-Qualiﬁed Artist Program. My experience working as a professional artist and muralist over the past 18 years has provided me with the necessary skills and logistical knowledge to fully understand the requirements needed to complete a wide range of projects in a timely and professional manner, staying on budget and installing the artwork within the contracted timeframe. Having painted murals in several different countries, such as China, Japan, Nepal, Jordan, Portugal, The Dominican Republic and The United States, ranging in sizes and up to as large as 40,000 sq. ft. Each experience has been a building block for knowledge which helps me to understand the best ways to incorporate ideas into the design which reﬂect the community and respect the people who will view the artwork on a daily basis. There is a fundamental theme for the work I create: each piece of public artwork aims to reﬂect an element of the community and/or the space in which it occupies. I achieve this through community engagement, outreach activities and research Thank you for taking the time to consider my application. Sincerely, Daas EDUCATION A.A.S.

There is frequent reference to the natural landscape in his studio work. His use of industrial and natural materials expresses a dialog of contradistinctive forces. This is an expression of his values and a longing for connection to the land externally and internally. While his studio work reflects his feelings about the natural landscape, his approach to public art is to celebrate the function, setting and context of the public site through sculptural means. He has completed public artworks for municipal, commercial, institutional, county and state clients in several states across the country and has exhibited in several galleries including one person shows at OK Harris in NY and Davis Dominguez in Tucson. John is co-organizer of an effort to establish a 21st century art park in New Mexico. This organization - Art Park 21 – champions an overarching theme of eco-centrism in works that can touch on our connection to our ecosphere as the primary aspect of their content. He has two installations among nine outdoor works in the AP21 exhibition “Out of Doors: Acts of Ecology in Albuquerque” on open space lands through September, 2020. Image List 1 Whitewater 2019 11’ x 25’ x 17’.Welded steel, fluoropolymer coating, LED lighting. The artwork functions as a gathering place on the plaza overlooking the rapids at the Poudre River Whitewater Park in Fort Collins, CO. The forms evoke the aerating motion of water over rapids which generates whitewater. 2,3 Liftoff 2017 17 x 11 x 7 ft. Fluoropolymer coated steel. The artwork uses the vocabulary of the circle and spiral in forming a colorful and gestural celebration of the essence of the disc golf park in Wylie, TX. 4 Sprouts 2017 16 x 16 x 12 ft. Painted stainless steel. The installation at the school campus in Warden, WA uses the imagery of sprouts to make a dual connection to the students at the elementary school and the farming environment of the community. Leaves have icon cut-outs referring to academics, athletics and agriculture. The wind vane makes reference to the weather, the many directions the students will take. 5 Furrow 2015 11 x 15 x 25 ft Corten steel, painted steel, 3form, rammed earth. At the Los Duranes Community Center in Albuquerque, NM. Celebrates the agricultural history of the neighborhood 6 High Ground 2013 12 x 12 x 10 ft. Painted Steel, axle bearing assembly. The piece celebrates the function of the Arroyo Chico Multi Use Project. The constructed basins, in essence, lift the adjoining neighborhoods above the threat of flood waters. The sculpture gives form to the gesture of this lifting to ‘high ground’. The kinetic component of the piece moves with the wind direction, making a connection to the weather.

We create dreamlike installations that feed visitors an excitement and beauty they can carry into their lives and the cities they call home. Drawing on a shared fascination with rainbows, eclipses, and the inner workings of human sight itself, we innovate elegant material systems to re-stage natural dynamics of light in iconic sites that are engaging to people of all ages. Our award-winning installations guide visitors into the universe of their senses and the joys of sharing place together. We have created sculptures that move in response to their viewer, lecture halls that playfully activate their participants, lamps that act like like clouds, and temporary buildings to kaleidoscopically transform their surroundings. Pneuhaus believes the cities we live in can more genuinely reflect the vibrancy of the lives we live in them and we have worked very hard to prove that vision. We work to create shared experiences of surprise and visual amazement that can contribute to a greater sensation of presence and engagement with place for our visitors. We have developed our practice across twenty-seven large scale commissions for cities, corporations, and arts institutions, including the city of Boston, Baltimore Light City, MIT, Spotify, Burning Man, and Bloomberg. Our collaborative has come a long way since our founding in 2014 by four friends bunk-bed living inside the studio while building a business from the ground up. In the last five years our collective has grown, and with degrees in architecture, engineering, textiles, and furniture design our members draw on a diverse array of strengths and knowledge to create singular works fit to realize the hopes of each client. Driven to innovation, we are constantly developing new material systems in the pursuit of unprecedented color and light effects customized to each site. By employing leading-edge technologies we are able to achieve rounded, complex forms that stand in contrast to the concrete canyons of yesterday and speak to the future. As a small dedicated team of makers we can ensure the utmost attention and care every step of the way.

I realized that, unlike much of the public art in the U.S., the majority of European public art was created by practicing studio artists, such as myself. Upon returning to the states I set about to develop an approach that better reflected my belief that it is essential that art in public places be of exceptionally high quality and that it speak deeply to the intellect and imagination of the public that it serves. Since then, Site Specific has partnered with public art commissioning agencies, architects, state agencies, universities and municipalities across the nation. We have been honored with the 2008/09 Federal Excellence in Design Award, as well as the Americans for the Arts’ Best of 2010 and 2014 Public Art Awards. My award-winning and longtime career as an artist has focused on creating conceptually rigorous and iconic artworks since the beginning. Creating highly visible, site-specific indoor and outdoor artworks that engage with the site’s community is the kind of task at which we excel. We believe that the best public art connects with the audiences that interact with it, which is why all our projects include site investigation, public outreach, and research components. I feel that my first step as artist is to listen and learn through research and engagement. I focus on this aspect so I can create artworks and experiences that form visceral and meaningful interactions for the viewer. As a team, Site Specific benefits from a wide spectrum of skills when conceptualizing, fabricating, and installing interior and exterior commissions. We draw on our experience with diverse materials and techniques to create an organic and flexible approach that is beneficial to the final work. Our reluctance to adhere to any specific set of materials or processes allows us to create truly site-specific installations for every project. 2516 NW 29th Ave. Bldg. #10 Portland, OR 97210 503-201-4559 joe@sitespecificwork.com www.sitespecificwork.com Public Art Commissions 2019 Milwaukie Ledding Library, City of Milwaukie Arts Commission.

The handmade shapes are designed toreﬂect the shape of living bodies moving through space. Though the building’sdesign focus is on bicycling, the artist found the general peloton shapes used to describe movement in the natural world (bird ﬂight formations, schools ofﬁsh) to relate closely to both the physical and psychological movement of the peloton in bicycle racing. The shapes represented in the carved woodelements are examples of various peloton designs found in the natural world.6 THE FUTURE STANDS STILL BUT WE MOVE IN INFINITE SPACELocation: 1320 building (former Oregonian building), Portland, ORMedium: Mirror, etched mirror, LED light panelsDimensions: 200’ x 6’ x 2’Budget: $210,000YYear completed: 2016"The Future Stands Still but We Move in Inﬁnite Space" was created toactivate a full block of the 6th Avenue bus mall in downtown Portland, Oregon.TThere is a total of 36 etched and illuminated mirror boxes integratedpermanently within the structure of the building.

We work between art and design—this interdisciplinary focus enables us to easily interface with arts and construction professionals. We work in an integrated manner, with both of us creating concepts, images, and production documents. Jeanine is a registered architect and visual artist; Russell is an artist with urban design work experience. Our collaboration has spanned twenty years now. The practice is located at the Brewery Arts Complex near downtown Los Angeles. UrbanRock Design is involved intermittently in the production process, and also works closely with local fabricators. This allows the studio to embrace an expanded palette of materials and processes with state-of-the-art equipment and technologies. Fabricators have included digital-makers, concrete tradespersons, glaziers, welders, electricians, sign installers, and general contractors. We typically interface with tradespeople, contractors, and consulting professionals alike. The studio has a successful track record of urban-sited and integrated public artworks in multiple cities with municipal, non-profit, and private clients. We have strong ability to manage budgets, and the fabrication / installation process in a professional manner. We have successfully participated on design teams with several professionals. Together, we have completed architecturally-integrated projects situated in pubic parks, transit stations, public building facades, and urban plaza spaces. Public art projects seek to sustain history, culture, and environment of place through the integration of imagery with building skins and other components. Current projects include artwork in two parks in Kirkland, WA, a gateway sculpture for Columbus State Community College, and an artwork for a neighborhood in Boise, ID. Projects have been awarded, published, and exhibited nationally. Continuing materials-based research informs our public art proposals and installations. Additionally, Jeanine directs a university architecture outreach program that explores tactical built interventions in various urban locations with her students. Jeanine is a licensed architect, whose work with UrbanRock Design and academia has been recognized with election into the American Institute of Architects College of Fellows.
