"Mr. Gorbachev, Tear Down That Wall!"

Behold, The "Stanford Wall" (Josef Albers, 1980). This used to be by Engineering, but even they found it "the least interesting piece of sculpture ever created."*

So bad is this wall of "art", that Stanford found a place for it... in a field... with no real access... or where anyone might have to look at it. It's as if someone said, "Put it where no one can see it, but don't look like you're putting it where no one can see it."


Shiny side... I used to draw boxes like that when I was 8.
Why? Seriously, what's the point here?

Non-Shiny Side: makes you want to check out the shiny side again, doesn't it?

Alone... and far, far away
sadly not far enough away that I don't have to see it




*Actually, that's my review, but you know it's true.
