Lonnie Hanzon (born September 1, 1959) is a Colorado-based installation artist and television personality, best known for designing the gateway sculpture ''Evolution of the Ball'' at Coors Field in Denver, Colorado. His work includes outdoor urban entertainment projects that extend across many acres, and immersive visual merchandising displays. ==Career== Hanzon was raised in Pine, Colorado.〔 Immediately after completing high school he performed as a singer, dancer and magician between 1974 and 1981. A largely self-educated artist, he made his own costumes and sets.〔 He later transitioned into design when other performers such as Paratakeori, Foan Family Circus, the Berg & Prince Mime Company, among others began requesting costumes. He started designing store interiors and window dressings in 1981, and high fashion jewelry in 1982. In 2010 he won first place in the Paper Fashion Show put on by the Art Directors Club of Denver (ADCD). Lanzon's window dressings garnered local, and then national attention, and led to commissions for increasingly larger and more complex interior and exterior commercial design projects and installations. His Christmas window display 12/25: A Holiday Store in Omaha in 1987 was the first for which retailers were compelled to charge admission to control crowds. He uses a variety of materials including "fabric, steel, glass, sugar, paint, foam, music, water, and electricity".〔 Hanzon went on to design major public works and commissioned displays throughout the 90s to the present, including installations in Hong Kong where he did the Christmas decorations for a mall that measured .〔 At the time it was the largest such holiday installation in Hong Kong's history.〔 He also did work in Houston, Dallas, Las Vegas, and, most frequently, in Colorado. In addition to his "Evolution of the Ball" display at Coors Field, Hanzon has produced other installations throughout Colorado including at the Red Rocks Community College, Kenneth King Performing Arts Center, Denver Botanic Gardens, and Olde Town Arvada. Hanzon directed and designed the revitalization and renovation of Denver's downtown holiday scene between 1998 and 2000. He installed displays on the mile-long Pedestrian Mall in historic Larimer Square and Union Station, and around Lower Downtown. He held the title of wizard in residence and creative director at the Museum of Outdoor Arts during which time he designed the Hudson Holiday display at the Hudson Gardens and Events Center in Littleton in 2009 and 2010.〔 Hanzon also rebuilt the annual Parade of Lights in Denver, giving new life to thirteen electrical floats and hundreds of costumed paraders. His projects emphasize storytelling through interactive art and multi-media. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lonnie Hanzon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
