~Tom Eccles/Bard College/Mariko Mori
TOM ECCLES, long time Director of the Public Art Fund,
is leaving his post there to become the Executive Director
of the Center for Curatorial Studies at BARD COLLEGE, FALL 2005.
Tom is pictured above with MARIKO MORI, at the opening reception
for the Public Art Fund presentation of her WAVE UFO.
A huge, essentially lifesize, beautifully constructed & surfaced
spaceship, it was placed in the garden of the IBM atrium in May 2003.
It could seat 2, and visitors were allowed to enter it and experience a
brief simulated ride.
The entrance way is pictured above.
