Photo gallery Sculpture portrays confluence of ideas, diversity
The new sculpture at Library Mall, titled “Both/And – Tolerance/Innovation,” speaks to the confluence of ideas and cultural diversity coming together in Madison. The stainless steel and stone sculpture is by artists David Dahlquist and Matt Neibuhr of Des Moines, Iowa. Dahlquist is a 1980 alumnus of UW–Madison with a bachelor’s degree in art.
The sculpture is comprised of a large stone leaning in to a vertical stainless-steel sculpture, laser-cut with patterns that allow light to move between the plates. Photo by: Jeff Miller
A yellow cylinder cuts through the plates in such a way that on the vernal and autumnal equinox sunlight will stream through, illuminating the path below. Photo by: Jeff Miller
