Today's destination is a work of public art on the walking path between the Museum Campus and the Buckingham Fountain(actually, I believe you can walk straight on through to Navy Pier if you stay on the same path). Anyway, there are a bunch of these pieces of art along the path. However, the one we are going to focus on today is called "Expanding Universe" When you walk up to it, it looks like a lightbulb from the base, but then as you walk around it, it morphs into a very interesting shape that I'm not sure how to describe, other than at one point it looks like a tooth? The basic thing that I gathered from this was that it is an extremely abstract piece of art(much more so than the others on the pathway). One more word about this stretch of art. All of the works of art that are featured on the pathway are being exhibited as part of the Outdoor Sculpture Exhibition, a program of Chicago Sculpture International. Bear this in mind, because the very next entry will be featuring another entry into the Outdoor Sculpture Exhibition.
Remember, you can see pictures of this sculpure on the Chicago 365 Facebook Page. Just make sure to like it while you are there! :)
