Humanities Book Art Project: 'Big Red C' Reinstalled on Campus
Fresh from its exhibition in Manhattan's Chelsea gallery district, the Humanities Book Art Project was reinstalled on campus at the Hirshland Gallery, Kroch Library, on April 4 and will be on display until April 25.
Watch documentary film of construction. (8 minutes)
The sculpture of the letter "C," at right in a large-format Polaroid shot, is composed entirely of Cornell-authored books. Professor of art Buzz Spector and 15 students in his "From Inspiration to Exhibition" class first built the "C" in January at the College of Architecture, Art and Planning's West 17th Street loft.
