Millennium park : creating a Chicago landscape

Summary:
At its opening on July 16, 2004, Chicago’s Millennium Park was hailed as one of the most important millennium projects in the world. “Politicians come and go; business leaders come and go,” proclaimed mayor Richard M. Daley, “but artists really define a city.” Part park, part outdoor art museum, part cultural center, and part performance space, Millennium Park is now an unprecedented combination of distinctive architecture, monumental sculpture, and innovative landscaping. Including structures and works by Frank Gehry, Anish Kapoor, Jaume Plensa, and Kathryn Gustafson, the park represents the collaborative efforts of hundreds to turn an unused railroad yard in the heart of the city into a world-class civic space—and, in the process, to create an entirely new kind of cultural philanthropy. Timothy Gilfoyle here offers a biography of this phenomenal undertaking, beginning before 1850 when the site of the park, the “city’s front yard,” was part of Lake Michigan. Gilfoyle studied the history of downtown; spent years with the planners, artists, and public officials behind Millennium Park; documented it at every stage of its construction; and traced the skeins of financing through municipal government, global corporations, private foundations, and wealthy civic leaders. The result is an illustrated testament to the park, the city, and all those attempting to think and act on a monumental scale. And underlying Gilfoyle’s history is also a revealing study of the globalization of art, the use of culture as an engine of economic expansion, and the nature of political and philanthropic power. Born out of civic idealism, raised in political controversy, and maturing into a symbol of the new Chicago, Millennium Park is truly a twenty-first-century landmark, and it now has the history it deserves.

Soutenue et financée par le ministère de la Culture et la Ville de Paris, cette étude avait pour but de dessiner le Grand Paris du XXIe siècle à la fois créatif et durable, « la » priorité du protocole de Kyoto et du Grenelle de l'environnement. Une gare Europe à Aubervilliers, le bois de Vincennes transformé en Central Park, les toits de Paris couverts d'une forêt de panneaux solaires, un réseau de transports aussi performant que le métro de Fulgence Bienvenüe, des ministères en périphérie, Le Havre à l'horizon maritime de la métropole, voici un aperçu du Grand Paris 2030 tel qu'il se dessine en pointillés. Le propos de ce livre – fruit d'un travail d'investigation de neuf mois – est destiné à un large public qui appréciera la pertinence de chacune de ces propositions. Des jalons pour l'avenir.
