Landmarks

I love The University of Texas at Austin Landmarks program. It's our university's attempt at being all artsy. I guess enough fine arts people complained about the Godzillatron and now our tuition is paying for something more high brow.

This art is on loan from New York City. It's called "The West" by Donald Lipski. While it may look kind of cool up close (see my previous post), from the right angle it's just a giant phallus. I mean, honestly, you have to know someone planned that.

This piece is in front of the CPE is called "Clock Knot" by Mark di Suvero. I'm not sure how I feel about it. It's over 40 feet tall. It's so weird. And red. I liked it better all rustic and antiqued. It's a nice change from the drab scenery of the engineering buildings, but it's just so huge and red.

[okay so the photo of Clock Knot isn't uploading. Just take my word for it. Or look here.]

And from now on I'm going to take my photography more seriously. I'm almost done with that DSLR class and I need to actually show I know how to used the darn thing.
