For Logan, the success of Town Enclosure was less in the physical form it took, but in the human interaction, it fostered. “It became this armature for exploration in performance,” he says. “It had this changing character about it that really activated the park.” Now, the installation is getting a second life in Story Mill Community Park, a recently opened 60-acre park in Bozeman, Montana, where CLB has a second office. “My hope is that the pavilion will be discovered and experienced by as many people in Bozeman as it was here,” says Logan. “I’m optimistic that local arts groups will use it as a performance venue so it can have the same kind of rich life that it had here in Jackson.” Ultimately, Town Enclosure continues CLB’s long history of contributing to public art projects in Jackson and beyond. “It helped cement my faith in contributing to our community, which is one of the core values of our firm,” says Logan. For JH Public Art’s Carrie Geraci, the benefit of the project continues to live on: “Public art is free and accessible to all. It contributes beauty and inspiration — a spark that generates more creativity.” b Photo Credit: Krafty Photos Photo Credit: Tuck Fauntleroy CONTINUED FROM PAGE 33
