On Thursday, May 14, a new 12-foot tall sculpture will be installed in Jackson Court on the University of Rochester\u2019s River Campus, as part of an effort to bring public art to campus. Artist Sabri Gokmen\u2019s CALYX<\/em> was selected from a pool of more than 120 submissions received from an international call for proposals.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur goal with this project was to identify an experienced artist, like Gokmen, who makes site-specific art that reflects the surrounding environment and its history,\u201d said Allen Topolski, professor of art and a member of the University\u2019s selection committee.<\/p>\n

The process began three years ago with a request for proposals for a permanent outdoor art installation to reflect the University\u2019s mission to \u201cLearn, Discover, Heal Create- and Make the World Ever Better.\u201d The committee then selected six finalists whose plans, including models of their concept, were exhibited in the Art Music Library Gallery in Rush Rhees Library and online<\/a> during Meliora Weekend 2013, to gather input from the community.<\/p>\n

According to the artist\u2019s statement \u201cCALYX<\/em> celebrates the coming of a new age where technology, nature, and knowledge become intertwined to inspire the creation of a new generation which will drive the University of Rochester forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

The sculpture will be installed at the intersection of several heavily trafficked walkways adjacent to Sage Art Center and is the final step in the completion of Jackson Court, a recently completed community gathering area near O\u2019Brien hall and Anderson and Wilder Towers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe the sculpture lends a signature to our campus and really represents an intersection between art and technology that our students are really excited about,\u201d said Topolski.<\/p>\n

Generated through the use of computer software, CALYX<\/em> is constructed out of steel sheets extracted through CNC milling and then welded and bolted into a final configuration. The artist, Gokmen, will be in Rochester on Thursday for the installation. He is currently pursuing a PhD degree in design computing at the Georgia Institute of Technology focusing on Goethean morphology and computational architecture. His research aims to bridge history, theory, and computation to develop new techniques for digital design.
