In 1988, the city of Chicago declared three acres of public land
along Lake Michigan the future home of DuSable Park--a green refuge
dedicated to Chicago's first settler, Jean Baptiste Point DuSable.
The park has yet to emerge, however, and it is possible that these
three lakefront acres could be sold to developers. In 2001, Chicago
artist Laurie Palmer sent out an open request for proposals, and
the resulting artwork became an innovative exhibit.
This inspiring collaboration of Chicago's artists, architects, and
activists to bring the plight of DuSable Park to the public has now
been catalogued in "3 Acres on the Lake," This volume includes
fascinating and thought-provoking renderings of the imagined
DuSable Park, as well as commentary on the project and other public
space issues from many of its contributors. "3 Acres on the Lake"
will be insightful reading for anyone interested in urban planning,
landscape architecture, and the struggle to preserve public space
in American cities.
