Lawrence Today magazine, Fall 2004
Two-Headed Trojan Ducky, a sculpture by Rob Neilson, assistant professor of art, occupied a prominent position on Chicago’s Navy Pier during this past summer’s Tenth Annual Navy Pier Walk, sponsored by 3D Chicago and on display through November 8. Known as the world’s largest outdoor sculpture exhibition, the event consisted of 28 sculptures by 15 regional and international artists, chosen by New Yorker magazine art critic Peter Schjeldahl.
Neilson’s
Ducky, measuring 56x48x82" and composed of polyurethane, EPS foam, and
wood, was funded in part by a faculty research grant from the Lawrence Dean
of the Faculty’s Office. Neilson was assisted in creation of the work
by students Andrew Quinlan, ’04, and Mary Markowitz, ’05.
