Unplanned Sculptures in Olympic Park
(Seattle Post-Intelligencer, February 17, 2007)

The recently opened Seattle Art Museum Olympic Sculpture Park, which boasts a world-class selection of artworks, has a few uninvited guests who are there to stay. A few days after opening, Roxy Paine's Split, a 50-foot-tall tree fashioned from aluminum, was joined by Splinter, a miniature version of the piece. Similarly, Alexander Calder's Eagle "birthed" three Eaglets, bright red and nesting by their parent sculpture. While both of the new works were credited to local art team SuttonBeresCuller, the trio denied having any involvement with the creations. The eaglets were actually created by painter Jason Puccinelli, illustrator Jed Dunkerley, and Greg Lundgren, who signed the work to their fellow artists as a tribute. "They're not part of the museum's collection, but we're going to leave them where they are," said the museum's spokesperson Erika Lindsay. "This kind of engagement is positive and respectful to the art. We welcome it."
