As part of the Ulrich 50th anniversary celebration, the museum commissioned a new sculpture by Maine-based artist Bianca Beck, created specifically for the WSU campus as the 89th piece in the Martin H. Bush Outdoor Sculpture Collection.
In connection with the installation, Beck will give a talk at 6 p.m. Thursday, April 17 in 210 McKnight Art Center discussing their work, the cornerstone of which is the body, from the imagined internal spaces of veins and organs to the dynamics of identity and expression. Their brightly colored large-scale sculptures explore the expansion of the individual in relation to collectivity, creativity and partnership.
