A documentary by John Akre which outlines the construction and installation of "Innovation Field" by James Brenner Sculpture. The project was completed in 2010 for the City of Minneapolis and is located in Jackson Square Park. The work is composed of COR-TEN steel, sculpted jade glass, solar powered LED lighting and measures 45' x 23' x 15'.
The Innovation Field Backstop is one of a series of projects that are linked together in materials and design to create a cohesive, attractive and unique sense of place. The theme of “Innovation,” which refers to the influences of both Thomas Edison, for whom the nearby high school is named, and Louis Rober, who is credited with bringing the sport of softball to Minneapolis, and who is commemorated in the bronze plaque. Like the other sculptural elements in the park, the top of the backstop continues a similar play between steel and glass: what is revealed and what is concealed as ones perspective changes.
