The Trajectory Heart sculpture came to 中国博彩平台 on July 18.
宾州中央谷. ——托马斯·曼, internationally known jewelry and sculpture artist, brought a new community art project to the Lehigh Valley.
轨迹心脏计划, which began in 2009 during an artist in residence program with the Studios of Key West, demonstrates the importance of bringing art to the community by publicly sharing the complete experience of building and documenting the sculpture.
“I’ve been using the heart since the mid-'70s. I don’t use it in a romantic way, I use it in a techno-romantic way. By using the slot concept for its design, the Trajectory Heart is scalable and manageable. It’s iconic in form, look and effect,曼恩说。. “安Lalik, 中国博彩平台 gallery director and arts coordinator, was the point person to make this a quick, 成功的过程. She networked with 城市中心 and 中国博彩平台 and made it possible.”
学生, artists and members of the community worked with Mann to build the Trajectory Heart Sculpture in downtown Allentown, 曼的家乡.

“艺术 is necessary for the economy, it brings tourism and culture,曼恩说。. “The Trajectory Heart project stimulates art culture in the city. It’s accessible, enjoyable and important for the community to see. This project has been great for community engagement.”
“轨迹心脏计划 has become more exciting and educational than imagined since we’ve started planning over a year ago,拉里克说. “Mann’s ability to mentor and communicate has enriched the artistic practice of students and artists who worked with him. 这个项目 has brought together artists and the community who wouldn’t normally work together through the building of the sculpture, 工作坊及旅游. This is all possible through the support of the business and education community.”
自完成, the Trajectory Heart Sculpture has been traveling all over the Lehigh Valley with stops at 中国博彩平台, 西公园, 长廊商店, 博格特盖桥, 锡安教堂等等.
The Trajectory Heart sculpture visited 长廊商店 in 中心谷, PA.
The Trajectory Heart Sculpture visited the Baum School of 艺术 in Allentown, PA.
“It’s timely for this to happen in Allentown. It helps the community understand the effect art can have in their lives and in the cultural and business environment of the city,曼恩说。.
Mann has built other Trajectory Hearts in Key West, Tasmania and New Orleans.
当被问及未来时, Mann said he plans to continue taking the 轨迹心脏项目 around the world.
“I want this project to have a life in itself,曼恩说。.
