Press Release about the installation over the summer of 2009: Caelum Moor Enhances Public Art and Culture in the Entertainment District

Five freestanding granite sculptures weighing a total of 540 tons will enhance the environmental landscape along Johnson Creek in Arlington’s Entertainment District.
Tuesday, June 30, Ark Contracting Services will begin installing the 22 pink granite stones that comprise the sculpture known as Caelum Moor. The installation will be in Richard Greene Linear Park located at 1601 E. Randol Mill Road adjacent to the Rangers Ballpark in Arlington and Cowboys Stadium. The stone monuments range in height from 8 to 30 feet.

The Latin name “Caelum” is derived from a constellation in the southern skies known as the sculptor’s tool or chisel. “Moor” refers to the windswept landscapes of Scotland. The celtic names of each of the five groupings reflect the ancestry of the sculptor’s patron.

Caelum Moor was commissioned in 1984 by Jane Mathes Kelton, CEO of the Kelton Mathes Development Corporation and heir of the Scottish-American television magnate, Curtis Mathes. According to the sculptor, Kelton wanted the artwork to serve as a centerpiece for a proposed business park development along I-20, reminiscent of the ancient sites of Scotland and England and reflecting of her family’s heritage. From 1986 to 1997, Caelum Moor was located at the headwaters of Johnson Creek along Interstate 20. In 1997, the sculpture was donated to the City and stored to make way for commercial development. Caelum Moor was once listed on the Smithsonian Institution’s National Registry of Art in Public Places.

Caelum Moor Facts and Information by Andy B on Monday, 26 October 2009
(User Info | Send a Message)

Norm Hines was a professor of art at Pomona College in Claremont, Calif., in 1984 when he was commissioned by Jane Mathes Kelton to create the environmental work of art that came to be known as Caelum Moor. Kelton was a resident of Arlington and the CEO of the Kelton Mathes Development Corporation.

The Caelum Moor commission took two years to complete and cost $1.5 million to construct. The completed work of art, which included a park that Hines also designed, was later appraised at more than $3 million. The sculpture is comprised of five individual groups of stones, each with its own Celtic name within a landscaped setting.

The stone monuments range in height from 8 to 30 feet, weigh a total of more than 540 tons and have no celestial connection.

From 1986 to 1997, Caelum Moor was located at the headwaters of Johnson Creek along Interstate 20 in south Arlington. In 1997, the land was acquired by a developer, and the stones were donated to the City of Arlington.

Caelum Moor in the Entertainment District
Caelum Moor will serve as an environmental centerpiece within the Entertainment District. The district is bound by Division Street on the south, 360 to the east, Collins Street to the west and I-30/Lamar Boulevard to the north. The district is home to the Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, Six Flags Over Texas, Hurricane Harbor, Arlington Convention Center, U.S. Bowling Congress and the Cowboys Stadium.

Caelum Moor will be located in Richard Greene Linear Park, adjacent to the Rangers Ballpark in Arlington and the Cowboys Stadium. The sculptures will be set along Johnson Creek, which flows parallel to Legends Way.

The height of the sculptures will make them a focal point from the scenic Randol Mill Bridge. They will be lit for night-time viewing, and the park will include landscaping and interpretive signage.
