A recent temporary installation by Kiyoto Koseki, a senior sculpture major in the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts, greeted drivers and pedestrians on Skinker Boulevard outside the College of Art’s Earl E. and Myrtle E. Walker Hall. The piece, constructed of plywood and paint and standing about 6 feet high, explored the connections between language and artistic form as well as the use of unconventional venues. “While the constructed word may just be a representation of itself, the various meanings it can assume — the concept of the word, any word, ‘The Word’ or mutual agreement — demonstrate a plasticity of language that challenges the authority and accuracy of academic nomenclature and definitions,” Koseki said.
