Book sculpture to be reinstalled on campus

Fresh from its display in Manhattan's Chelsea gallery district, the Humanities Book Art Project will be reinstalled on campus at the Hirshland Gallery, Kroch Library, on April 4 and will be on exhibit until April 25.

The sculpture of the letter "C," at right in a large-format Polaroid shot, is composed entirely of Cornell-authored books. Professor of art Buzz Spector and 15 students in his "From Inspiration to Exhibition" class first built the "C" in January at the College of Architecture, Art and Planning's West 17th Street loft. The entire project was filmed for a documentary, and an excerpt will be shown at the exhibit. An opening reception will be held April 4 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the Hirshland Gallery and is free and open to the public.
