A sculpture located in front of the Wells Theatre was vandalized
over Fall Break.
The damage was first
reported by director of theatre, Doug Rankin on Oct. 19. The
sculpture, titled "Outdoor 4-Swinger," was designed by artist
Bruce Stillman and given to the college in 2003. The sculpture
has four loops that rotate with the wind, creating different
effects of positive and negative space.
Now, however, that
is not possible because it has been pushed back so far that it
has been lifted out of its concrete base.
"The current damage
is so severe, I estimate it would have to be taken back to the
artist’s studio for major repairs," said Rankin. Rankin and
Associate Dean of Students Mohsin Masood, met with Monmouth
Police on Oct. 20 to report the incident. Students are asked to
report any further information to the Office of Student Affairs
