Barbara Kruger's 'Another' Piece for Stuart Collection on Price Center Atrium

Another Piece for Stuart Collection
(http://ucsdnews.ucsd.edu/thisweek/2008/05/05_stuart_collection.asp)

By Inga Kiderra for UCSD News | May 5, 2008

“The meaning of life is that it stops,” Franz Kafka once said. And artist Barbara Kruger will have him saying it over and over again for as long there is a floor to the atrium of the newly expanded Price Center at UCSD.

The Kafka quotation and 32 others from prominent thinkers are part of a wall-and-floor installation entitled “Another” — the seventeenth work in the university’s Stuart Collection.

The quotes, from Charlotte Bronte to Malcolm X, are embedded in colored terrazzo rectangles in the floor. On the wall will be a 40-by-80-foot mural of two clock faces, punctuated by rectangular units with two-word phrases starting with the word “another”: “Another day,” for example, and “another night,” “another sweater,” “another love,” “another life.”

Along the bottom and middle of the image will be two running LED texts showing live current news feed from Reuters.

Another was commissioned by the Stuart Collection, an ongoing program of site-specific sculpture by leading artists of our time. It will be sited at UCSD’s newly expanded Price Center — which was built to be a lively student hub and features an atrium with open architecture and a 350-seat dining space on the ground floor. The installation will be visible from all interior levels of the four-story structure.
