Chicagos parks owe a lot to Jens Jensen, but so do the miles of picturesque lakeshore in Indiana. June 19, 2014
As the temperature rises, thousands will be flocking to the Indiana Dunes this summer. But if it werent for a little-known landscape architect, the miles of beaches along southern Lake Michigan might not exist today.
Jens Jensen first became known for his pioneering work on Chicagos park system a century ago. The new documentary Jens Jensen, the Living Green also shows his role in saving the Indiana Dunes from industrial destruction.
WBEZs Michael Puente recently sat down with the films director Carey Lundin. She began by talking about how the Danish-born Jensen first ended up in Chicago.

Carmen Salazar at work.
As a metalworker, glassblower, landscape architect and lighting designer, Carmen Salazars experiences as an artist span across varied terrain.
Describing her career path as circuitous, Salazars pursuit of many different art forms all seem relevant to her newest role on the Laguna Beach Arts Commission, which provides advisory recommendations over public art commissions to the City Council.
These recommendations frequently involve public arts projects, competitions often open only to local artists. The citys collection of public artworks now numbers over 65 pieces. Past projects include The Peoples Council sculpture by Linda Brunker near City Hall and Canyon Chess and Checkers by Marlo Bartels on Main Beach.
At the meeting to appoint new commissioners, the council considered but rejected reducing the number of arts commission members to seven from nine. The terms of four commissioners were expiring. Ultimately, three arts commissioners were re-elected, including architect Donna Olsen Ballard, artist and owner of a marketing company Suzi Chauvel, and retired marketing executive Mary Ferguson. The fourth seat was occupied by Nicholas Hernandez, who served four years on the commission but failed to turn in his application for reappointment on time. That provided the opportunity for a new appointment, hence Salazar.
Salazars selection comes a month after artist Jorg Dubin publicly criticized the arts commission for failing to compensate artists adequately, rushing installations and for aesthetic choices he deemed provincial and safe.
Salazars connections to an arts community in Santa Ana, her interest in boundary-breaking art and her young age perhaps reflect that Dubins concerns struck home.
Born in Washington, D.C. in 1975, Salazars frequent trips to the National Mall developed her interest in public art, she said in interview following the City Council appointment on June 3.

A Circuitous Path Leads to Arts Commission
The playground in Fitzgerald Park yesterday. Picture: Provision
Cork City Council plans to plough 300,000 into the development of the citys first all-inclusive playground for children of all abilities.
The council said yesterday it has advertised for landscape architect-led design and project management teams to design and oversee the development of the new amenity on the site of the existing play area in the revamped Fitzgerald Park.
They have been given a blank sheet to work with on condition the facility is open by June 2015. The aim is to develop an amenity that will enable children with disabilities to play alongside able-bodied children.
It is intended to become a national model in best practice for the provision of inclusive playgrounds in Ireland, said Stephen Scully, spokesman for the councilss recreation and sport directorate.
The development has been made possible thanks to joint funding from the Bon Secours Hospital in Cork, which has historic links to the park dating back to the last century when it occupied the present day museum for five years.
It is hoped that the playground will be open next year when Bon Secours celebrates its centenary.
The project could not proceed without such generous support, Mr Scully said.
Key partners including the National Disability Authority, and Cork Access, have also been working with City Hall for several months on the project.
The council has now published tenders on the Governments e-tenders website inviting applications from qualified landscape architect-led design and project management teams to bring the project to life.

As a metalworker, glassblower, landscape architect, lighting designer, and now Laguna Beachs newest arts commissioner, Carmen Salazars experiences as an artist have been incredibly varied.
Describing her path as circuitous, Salazars pursuit of many different art forms all seem relevant to the role to which she was appointed on Tuesday, June 3 by the City Council. Born in Washington, D.C., frequent trips to the National Mall helped her develop an interest in public art, Salazar said in an interview on Friday, June 6.
These trips and subsequent experiences with made her question the boundaries of what art is, Salazar remembers. By breaking these boundaries, public art, in particular, can make a person take unexpected pause in their day, Salazar wrote in her the application for commissioner.
Salazar pursued her interest in art at the prestigious Rhode Island School of Design, focusing in metalworking and glassblowing. After her graduation she went on become an environmental artists assistant in San Francisco.
She further developed her interest in arts relationship to the environment continued not long after her move to Southern California in 1999 when Salazar began her studies in landscape architecture at the Southern California Institute of Architecture. Combining her interests of environmental art, landscape architecture, and derelict post-industrial sites, she became a designer for the Orange County Great Park from 2006 to 2008, Salazar stated.
After gaining experience in designing for a municipal authority, Salazar turned her focus to functional art, primarily lighting fixtures. Joining her husband, Caleb Siemon, a master glassblower, they formed their studio, Siemon and Salazar in Santa Ana, in 2008. Salazar continues to dedicate most of her attention to her work there. Her main focus is lighting fixtures, inspired by Scandinavian design and living things, which are frequently included in her work.
As reflected by her background and her artwork, Salazar frequently draws inspiration from the natural environment. The waters and landscape first piqued Siemon and Salazars interest in Laguna Beach. As a child, Salazar took frequent trips to West Virginia and, referring to the hilly scenery, called Laguna Beach the mini-West Virginia of Orange County.
A 12-year resident of Laguna Beach, Salazar hoped to combine her interests in environmental art, public art, and architecture by becoming an arts commissioner. Her parents instilled in her the importance of civic involvement, Salazar said, and she saw it as a crucial time to become a part of city leadership. As a canyon resident, recently theres been a lot of potential for change, Salazar noted. She wanted to be a part of Laguna Beachs future and hoped to become more familiar with the local arts scene.
She did not yet have any specific objectives in mind for her role as commissioner and, though she may like to see more educational or interactive art pieces, said Salazar. Unexpected art that would cause a viewer to respond, I didnt know that was happening, is of particular interest to Salazar.
