Episodic, 1986
Josh Garber
2400 West Grand Avenue,
intersection at Grand and Western Avenues
This
23-foot powder-blue steel sculpture was a gift to the City of Chicago Public
Art Collection by West Loop Gate Community Organization. Garber welded utility
poles into a loop that twists like a Möbius strip. Born in Canada in 1963,
Garber studied at Banff Centre of Fine Arts, New York State College of Ceramics
at Alfred University and Camberwell School of Art in London. Other work in
Chicago includes Hope and Renewal at
the Chicago Transit Authority's Kimball Brown Line train station. What appears
to be part of the station's structure is actually architectural columns
hand-crafted from thousands of aluminum bars.
