WOW! … Not forgotten…. "Deep Station" by Donna Dennis . . go underground with Dennis’s seminal work, which she describes as a subway station at the “bottom of the world.” Originally created in the ’80s—the last in the artist’s series of subway sculptures—Deep Station is at once familiar and uncanny. Inspired by New York’s MTA stations, Dennis likens these underground structures to “tectonic plates” in their subterranean power. The work eerily recalls how the world has changed so much, and yet, not at all. DETAILS
S. O. S.: Teco Murals at the University of Illinois Endangered!
An investigative report by the Champaign-Urbana News-Gazette revealed that the University of Illinois, across the next decade, but starting soon, is going to demolish a whole series of buildings on campus and that the first to go “on the chopping block” ― to borrow the report’s headline ― is the Vivarium Building (1915-16) (illus. 1), which is flanked on its east and west façades at the second-story level by two magnificent, near-identical Teco murals depicting roiling carp overtopped by a rolling wave, all glazed in sumptuous ‘Teco green’. PRESERVING THESE HISTORICALLY VALUABLE CERAMIC MURALS NEEDS YOUR ASSISTANCE! Full Information provided by Dr. Richard Mohr. CLICK For the FULL STORY . You can help to preserve these murals simply by writing a two or three sentence e-letter to the Chancellor of the University:
Robert J. Jones, Chancellor Email: chancellor@illinois.edu
Here is a LINK to the letter Tile Heritage wrote to the Chancellor
Further SPOTLIGHT ON CERAMIC SURFACES . .
