Seven large steel and bronze sculptures by renowned modernist artist James Surls were installed on campus last weekend. Concentrated in the Central Quad and the West Quad, with an outlier at the Bioscience Research Collaborative, the sculptures were previously featured in an exhibit on Park Avenue in New York City sponsored by the New York City Parks Public Art Program. Check back with the Thresher after spring recess for a feature on the other-worldly structures.
