Commissioned and funded by Trustee Christopher Walker ’69, chair of CMC’s Public Art Subcommittee, the four sculptures by Carol Bove represent her largest public permanent installation and her first on a college campus.
Bove, who grew up in Berkeley, said her own introduction to art was through public art she encountered walking through that campus. “Unlike going to a museum, on a campus, it is not your intention to see art,” she said. “It’s incidental exposure. The repetition of that exposure speaks to your subconscious mind and makes for interesting conversations.
*Note: With the exception of the Chris Burden and Jeppe Hein benches visitors are asked to please not touch or climb the sculptures—help us preserve the art for all.
