Sculpture. See It.
By Shelby Downs
Losing track of time marveling at a sculpture probably won’t earn you much sympathy from a professor if you’re late to class, but if you have a free afternoon, spend it roaming the central UT campus, which has been transformed into an outdoor museum with its Landmarks program. This public art installation includes 28 (and counting) mid-to late-20th century sculptures on long-term loan from the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, including Mark di Suvero’s bright red “Clock Knot” in front of the chemical engineering building, and Louise Bourgeois’ eerie “Eyes” in Bass Concert Hall.
