site. The developer's public art fee totaled $9,208, which would be applied to the
purchase and placement of the artwork. The Developer agreed to work with Staff to find
an artist and a location on his site that was mutually agreeable.
The 803 North Palm Canyon project has a zero lot line setback on the front and sides of

Tamarisk Road are located on the adjacent parcel at 787 North Palm Canyon. The
owner of the 787 property, James M. Casey, Trustee of Sweet Pea Trust, is willing to
enter into an Agreement for Placement of Artwork on Private Property and Grant of
Easement with the City. Under these terms the sculpture would be installed on the
northwest corner of the 787 property, adjacent to the 803 North Palm Canyon building.
On September 11, 2008 the artist Brian Biedul made a presentation to the Public Arts
Commission. A maquette of the artwork and computer images of the sculpture was
provided showing the piece at the proposed location adjacent to 803 North Palm
Canyon. The sculpture represents, a three dimensional line drawing of cubes
intersecting with a vertical element. "Intersecting Cubes" is designed to compliment the
architecture of the buildings it resides within the Uptown District. The sculpture is 4'
wide x 4' wide x 18' tall, constructed of zinc-aluminum metallized steel tubing and
finished with a clear powder-coat. The total cost of the sculpture is $58,000 and
includes engineering, fabrication, installation and lighting.

the artwork and recommended that payment of the sculpture be divided into two fiscal
years. A portion of the sculpture would be paid in the 2008-09 fiscal year and the
remainder be paid during the 2009-10 fiscal year. A motion was made to acquire the
sculpture "Intersecting Cubes` by Commissioner Kabler and seconded by
Commissioner Butler, the motion carried 5/1 in a roll call vote. Aye votes were
Commissioners Butler, Kabler, Mazure, Stern and Chair Stone; nay vote was
Commissioner Stearns.
The artist is ready to start fabrication and have the work completed for a early summer
installation date.
FISCAL IMPACT:

BRIAN BIEDUL Artist Biography
Born in Colorado Springs in 1955, Brian spent the better part of his adolescence in Europe
where his love of art began. While living in Paris he was enrolled in his first art class under the
instruction of Siegfried Hahn. After returning to
America he spent time in various cities across
the United States including New York, Chicago
and Los Angeles where he later settled. In 1984
he graduated with a BFA from Art Center Col-
loge of Design where he later taught Saturday
Sr
figure drawing classes.
,. Biedul's artistic development can be divided
into several periods. In his early years he began
..i " with figurative painting in oils influenced heavily
by the Moroger system. Later he began creat
e 1 ing works of abstract expressionism influenced
by the works of Mark Rothko and Franz Kline.
He followed that period with installations and earthworks in the desert where his idea of Theoreti-
cal Architecture was born. Through this experimentation he found the content that would define
his future work.
In 1992 he co-created the short film "Lazio! A Portrait of the Artist In White." The film is a critical
commentary on contemporary art where the fictitious artist Lazio discovered that the true mean-
ing of art is for the artist alone and once the work is completed and in its most perfect state, he
conceals it in a shroud of ordinary white house paint.
Following the completion of his film, Biedul discovered that almost his entire body of work had
been destroyed in an accident. That event resulted in a six-year break from creating art. It was the
death of a close personal friend that caused him to pick up where he left off.
Combining his passion for form with his explorations into Theoretical Architecture he began work
on Spaces, a series in three phases. The first phase is entitled Rectangles which are paintings
created to articulate a two-dimensional space. Using the human form the threshold of inside
space is defined by the boundaries of the canvas. Rectangle
1, the first in the series premiered in a group show in New
York's Viridian Gallery July 2006, juried by Robert Rosenblum,
past curator of The Guggenheim Museum. -
Brian Biedul currently resides in Santa Monica, California with
his wife Dawn Rosenquist.

Artist Statement
Over the last twenty-five years I have 7,';r'' -? ' -- 7'l
been experimenting with what I call %'�`, ,....g....,
theoretical architecture. The content
of my work is to define the threshold
between the inside and outside of
conceptually articulated space. The
spaces I create exist in the mind of
the viewer as a gestalt experience.
I :
This Is for me an exploration into the
definition —very n tion of art.
As a sculptor of gestalt space. I have
used fire, light, vegetation, water,
rope, steel, vinyl, wood and other
mediums.
In observing the art, it is important toMy r'
understand that the art is the de- t
fined space itself. There are no lines,
background, color fields or image to
77
extend beyond the boundaries of theaN
art. For Rectangles and Squares, the
art absolutely ends at the edge of the
canvas. `

Proposed new public art for Palm Springs
Intersecting Cubes, Brian Biedul, 2008
803 N. Palm Canyon Dr. Palm Springs, CA
Size: 48"x48"x 216"
Material: 3" square steel tubing
Finish: Zinc-Aluminum metallized and clear powder-coated
Foundation: Set in concrete and steel below-grade housing
Lighting: 8 Flush-mounted SistemaLux minizip LEDs
Overview:
This sculpture represents in steel, a three dimensional line drawing of cubes intersecting with a vertical ele-
ment. The mind of the viewer fills in the voids of these gestalt spaces. Intersecting Cubes is designed to
compliment the architecture of the building it resides with. The piece will also create a dramatic visual expe-
rience on North Palm Canyon Drive at night. Due to it's size and design it will have a great deal of presence
without dominating the corner.
Maintenance:
The piece in designed to be very low maintenance and low impact. The steel will be coated in a zinc alu-
minum process called metallizing and then will be powder-coated clear. This will make the piece rust-re-
sistant. The base foundation will be engineered by Concord Consulting, a firm that has worked on many
projects in and around Palm Springs. The lighting will be tied into the 803 N, Palm Canyon building.

5. Artist's Rights: City's Ownership Rights.
5.1 Alterations. The City, having expended considerable public funds to
commission the Artwork, and pursuant to its governmental and proprietary
responsibilities, intends to display the Artwork at the Site as originally created by
Artist and to maintain the Artwork in good condition. The City must preserve
complete flexibility to operate and manage City property in the public's interest.
Therefore, City retains the absolute right to alterthe Artwork in City's solejudgment.
For example, City may alter the Artwork to eliminate hazard, to comply with the
ADA, to otherwise aid City in the management of its property and affairs, orthrough
neglect or accident_ If, during or after the term of this Agreement, City finds the Site
to be inappropriate, City has the right to cause the Artwork to be installed at an
alternate location that City chooses in its sole reasonable discretion-
5-2 Waiver. With respect to the Artwork produced under this Agreement,
Artist waives any and all claims, arising at any time and under any circumstances,
against City, its officers, agents, employees, successors and assigns, arising under
the federal Visual Artists Rights Act (17 U.S.C. §§106A and 113(d)), the California
Art Preservation Act (Cal. Civil Code §§987 et seq.), and any other local, state,
federal or international laws that convey rights of the same nature as those
conveyed under 17 U.S.C. §106A, Cal. Civil Code §§987 et seq., or any other type
of moral right protecting the integrity of works of art. If the Artwork is incorporated
into a building orthe Site such that the Artwork cannot be removed from the building
or Site without alteration of the Artwork, Artist waives any and all such claims
against any future owners of the Site, and its agents, officers and employees, for
alteration of the Artwork.
5.3 Good Faith. Where time permits, prior to altering the Artwork, City
shall make reasonable good faith efforts to notify and consult with Artist, at the last
phone number or address provided by Artist to the City, and to come to a mutually
agreeable plan for disposition of the Artwork. Such consultation shall be without
charge by Artist unless otherwise specifically agreed in writing. If the Artwork is
3
� i
altered and City intends to maintain the Artwork on display, City shall make a
reasonable good faith effort to engage Artist in the restoration of the Artwork and to
compensate Artist for Artist's time and efforts at fair market value,which may be the
subject of a future agreement between Artist and City. However, City has no
obligation under this Agreement to restore the Artwork to its original condition or to
compensate Artist for any restoration work. If Artist fails or refuses to negotiate with
City in good faith with respect to any restoration, City may contract with any other
qualified art conservator or artist for such restoration.
5.4 Disclaimer. If City alters the Artwork without Artist's consent in a
manner that is prejudicial to Artist's reputation, Artist retains the right to disclaim
authorship of the Artwork in accordance with California Civil Code §987(d) and 17
U.S.C. §106A(a)(2).

11.6 Trademark. In the event that City's use of the Artwork creates
trademark, service mark, or trade dress rights in connection with the Artwork, City
shall have an exclusive and irrevocable right in such trademark, service mark, or
trade dress. Artist may not use the Artwork in any manner that would cause a
likelihood of confusion as to source or sponsorship by City, its agents or assigns, or

execute or authorize another to execute another work of the same or substantially

and if the resale value of the Artwork is not itemized separately from the value of the
real property, the Parties agree that the resale price of the Artwork shall be
presumed to be less than the purchase price paid by City under this Agreement.
Thus, City has no obligation to pay resale royalties pursuant to California Civil Code
§986 or any other law requiring the payment of resale royalties. If City sells the
Artwork as an individual piece, separate from or itemized as part of a real property
9
transaction, City shall pay to Artist a resale royalty to the extent required by law,
based upon the sale price of the Artwork.
12. Documentation. To the extent possible,Artist shall provide information on the
Artwork requested by the Commission for its registration files.

Commission of any change in his professional address.

Artist's name in a way which reflects discredit on the Artwork or on the name of

the Artwork or reproduce the Artwork or any portion thereof in a way which reflects
discredit on City or the Artwork.

creativity of Artist are essential elements of this Agreement. Therefore, Artist shall
not voluntarily or involuntarily assign, convey, subcontract, hypothecate, encumber
or otherwise transfer any portion of this Agreement or any of the services to be

may be withheld in City's sole and absolute discretion. In the event of such
unapproved transfer, including any"bankruptcy proceeding, this Agreement shall be
void.
15. Artist as Independent Contractor.
15.1 Neither City nor any of its employees shall have any control over
the manner, mode or means by which Artist, its agents or employees, perform the
services required herein, except as otherwise set forth herein. City shall have no
