Possibly to settle a dispute about the ease with which one can install commando public sculpture in Philadelphia, Wilkes-Barre’s Paul Carson spent a week of free time building this giant 12 sided die. Last weekend we installed it on the vacant lot in Philadelphia where our Pink Tank resides.

The TE crew has one more sculpture planned for the lot. We aim to bring some levity to the neighborhood by creating a giant nerd sculpture garden. For giant nerds.

Eugene, OR based sculptor Jud Turner opens a statement explaining his art with the phrase “Quantum physics tells us that apparently solid objects are comprised of vast empty spaces…” For some, this may be a reason to navigate away from the website in a panic. For me, it brought back memories of mind-scrambling science/math hybrid problems, where letters meant numbers and my high school GPA took a violent beating. But Turner’s work isn’t about being afraid. It is about bringing together the past and the future; about viewing the whole as the work of many, many individuals. And in the end, that may look like a skeleton on a bicycle.
