Arts on the Point Update
Several new developments in the creation of "Arts on the Point" have taken place over the last few weeks. Sculptor Richard Serra visited the campus Sept. 29 to designate a site for his sculpture, St. John's Rotary Arc which he is loaning to UMass Boston. It will be installed on the current site of the baseball diamond, close to the end of Harbor Point.
Prof. Paul Tucker, who has initiated and coordinated the Arts on the Point project, said that a number of other commitments have been made in recent weeks.
Sculptors Mark di Suvero, Luis Jimenez, Sol LeWitt, and Dennis Oppenheim have all agreed to add their work to the UMass Boston effort. Another sculptor, Jenny Holzer, will meet with Tucker at the end of November to discuss creating a piece for the planned arts park.
