About
Overview
Request for qualifications from artists and/or artist teams interested in creating site-specific artwork(s) for the Utah State University Animal Science Building. The historic building, now housing the Mathematics and Statistics department with a new Data Science and Artificial Intelligence lab, will undergo renovation and addition.
About the Project
The Art Selection Committee seeks interior artwork to be installed as part of the addition and renovation. Artwork should exemplify the importance of learning and collaboration, encouraging students to actively engage in their education. The faculty of Mathematics and Statistics believe strongly in both the science and beauty of mathematics and seek work exemplifying the foundational universality of mathematics—including mathematical rhythms and patterns found in nature and life—while creating a universally welcoming environment.
Possible Installation Areas
- 1st floor central corridor renovated area in the historic building portion (standard height ceilings, suitable for artwork installed on or integrated into walls)
- 3rd floor double-volume on the south side in the historic building portion (artwork could be suspended and visible through historic south-facing window)
