"Bronze People"
WesternU will host nine realistic bronze works by internationally renowned sculptor Seward Johnson beginning today, March 1, and running through May 31, 2010. The figures, which are life-sized and range in weight from 350 to 900 pounds, will be placed along the Campus Esplanade running east to west between Towne Avenue and Gibbs Street. The public is invited to walk the Esplanade and pay a visit to each work, discovering details and posing for photographs with the bronze "people." A 10th sculpture, by artist Bruce Lindsey, also will be part of the exhibit. http://www.westernu.edu/xp/edu/pharmacy/ray-symposium-about.xml.
