"Bird #4" - kinetic sculpture ©Bill Lieb
Bill Lieb, long-time Artisan Road Trip artist, recently had one of his public sculpture pieces juried into the Sculpt Siouxland exhibition in Sioux City. The exhibit is sponsored by an organization of community leaders in partnership with the Sioux City Art Center. The sculpture was installed June 8, 2017 at the corner of 4th Avenue and Pierce Street, about one block northwest of the Sioux City Art Center (shown in the distant background), and will remain in place there for one year.
The 10.5 foot tall abstract sculpture is titled "Bird #4" and is part of
a series of five large public sculptures fabricated by the artist in
the past two years. The triangular base is weathering steel, the two
wing features above the base are stainless steel and the top spinner is
aluminum. The piece is kinetic and is activated by the breeze to present
curious bewildering movements to engage the viewer in playful
conversation.
This is the sixth sculpture entered by Bill Lieb and accepted into the Sculpt Siouxland yearly exhibition over the exhibits thirteen year history. The building at the right is the Great Southern Bank.
