“We’re looking for a piece that will engage with the population walking in the area,” says Allen Topolski, associate professor of art. “We want a piece that’s engaging and bound to its environment.”
Images of all six proposals and more about each artist’s vision are displayed online at www.rochester.edu/news/photos/jackson-court. Viewers are encouraged to “like” one or more of their top choices.
The selection committee will incorpo-rate the public’s response into their final evaluation and will make a recommenda-tion to the campus art committee.
The chosen artist will receive up to $60,000 for fabrication and delivery of the final piece.
The artwork is the final step in the com-pletion of Jackson Court and O’Brien Hall, the University’s newest residential housing.
“Locating permanent outdoor artwork at the northern entrance to River Campus will be an ongoing reminder of the impor-tance of the arts at the University and in the city of Rochester overall,” says guest juror Steiner.
The new work, planned for installation by Meliora Weekend 2014, joins several other public art pieces on the University’s campuses. A handful of those works are noted on the map.
A new campus art committee formed last year with the goal of “integrating art and craft on campus” says commit-tee member Jose Fernandez, executive director of campus planning, design, and construction management. The commit-tee members’ plan is to utilize one-half of one percent of project costs for future construction for the addition of art in and around the building.
In addition to providing support for the Jackson Court gateway project, a small part of the budget for the construction of O’Brien Hall included adding student photographs to common areas inside the new residence hall. Genesee Ripples, a sculpture by Arch Miller, professor emeritus of art and art history, was also commissioned by the committee for An-derson Hall.
The committee has also brought two pieces that were previously exhibited at the Memorial Art Gallery to the LeChase Courtyard. Duayne Hatchett’s Go and Larry Mohr’s Ell II have been installed in the courtyard created by LeChase, Rettner, Morey, and Lattimore halls.
“It’s important for art to be part of everyone’s everyday,” says Topolski, a member of the campus art committee. “Art makes you think about the space around you and it makes you more respon-sible about the space.”

ArtworkContinued from page 1
Statue of Martin Anderson by UnknownThe statue of Martin Anderson, the university’s first president, was originally erected on the Prince Street campus in 1905. The figure now stands near Burton and Crosby halls on the River Campus residence quad.
George Eastman Statue by Marc MellonKodak founder and university benefactor George Eastman is hon-ored with a larger-than-life statue on the River Campus’s Eastman Quadrangle, between Lattimore and Morey halls. The bronze figure was unveiled in 2009 and was a gift from Trustee Laurence Block ’75 and his wife, Cindy.
Compound Angles by John GreeneThe painted steel piece in flo-rescue von Manstein Plaza is by artist John Greene, a Memorial Art Gallery Advisory Board member and husband of uni-versity Trustee Gwen Greene ’65. It was installed in 2011.
The Rochester Genome by Mark ChenA mosaic of historic and recent images chronicling health care at the Medical Center greets visitors who enter the Saunders Research Building. The Rochester Genome by Rochester artist Mark Chen depicts the university’s dedication to basic science, the focus on the patient, and the commitment to the community. The mural was supported by a gift from David Guzick, who served as dean of the School of Medicine and Dentistry during the building’s early construction phase, and his wife, Donna Giles.
Trilogy of Time by Dexter BenedictA clock sculpture titled Trilogy of Time was crafted by Dexter Benedict, professor emeritus of art at Keuka College. The piece stands outside the Elmwood Avenue entrance to the School of Medicine and Dentistry. The clock is a gift of life trustee Robert (Bud) frame and his wife, Peggy, in honor of Bud’s brother, Stuart (Skip) frame ’49M (MD).
Astronomy, Geography, Navigation, and Industry by UnknownCommissioned by Hiram Sibley in 1874, the statues that stand beside Meliora Hall origi-nally were placed on the university’s Prince Street campus. Representing Astronomy, Ge-ography, Navigation, and Industry, the works were created in Carrera, Italy, and shipped to Rochester by boat. for its 25th reunion, the Class of 1954 restored the sculptures, which were moved to their current location in 1980.
Genesee Ripples by Arch MillerThe Campus Art Committee commissioned the sculpture by Arch Miller, professor emeritus of art and art history, for Anderson Hall last year. The sculpture was dedicated in honor of the Class of 1962 on their 50th reunion.

‘Meliora Madam’ to return to her sistersBy JENNIfER ROACH
j.roach@rochester.edu
A sculpture that once stood on the University’s original campus will
soon make its return to the University.
Known as the “muses” or the “Meliora Madams,” a group of statues
that stand in the area between Meliora Hall and Rush Rhees Library
had their first home in niches on the exterior of the Sibley Library on
the prince Street Campus.
For the past 23 years, one of those statues, Commerce, was about
150 miles away—in the Toronto backyard of James Carley, a former
English professor at Rochester.
Carley explains that Frank Dowd, vice president and associate provost,
offered him one of the statues in 1977. The statues were to be destroyed,
Carley says, and he wanted to save them from being crushed, so he
agreed to take one. He admits that he thought it was something small that
he’d be able to display in his hallway. Instead, he had to arrange for the
larger-than-life sculpture of a woman holding three links of chain to be
moved to Toronto when he started a position at York University.
“It was much loved,” Carley said of Commerce during its time at his
home in Toronto’s Yorkville district, adding that people often admired
the 138-year-old statue as they walked past his house on the way to
the neighborhood art galleries.
Hiram Sibley, the founder of Sibley Hall—a library then being built
on the prince Street campus—originally commissioned eight statues
in 1875 with the intent of “enhancing the beauty” of the building.
Hailing from Carrera, Italy, two statues were believed to have been
damaged during the journey to Rochester—lost in the Hudson River
or Erie Canal. Two more, seriously deteriorated from nearly 100 years
of weathering, were reportedly lost when Sibley Hall was razed in
1968, according to documents from the University Archives.
The works were meant to symbolize various branches of knowledge.
The remaining pieces represent Navigation, holding a chart; Geogra-
phy, holding a large globe; Astronomy, holding a small globe; Science,
with three books in one hand and a magnifying glass in the other;
Commerce, holding three links of chain; and one unnamed statue, be-
lieved to be named Transportation, with her hand placed on a wheel.
The remaining statues, most of them significantly deteriorated, were
placed in storage when Sibley Hall was torn down.
In a campaign led by Arch Miller, former professor of fine arts
and now professor emeritus of art and art history, the Class of 1954
sponsored the restoration of the remaining four statues—Astronomy,
Geography, Navigation, and Industry—and their placement on the
River Campus in 1980. As reported by the Campus Times, the project
cost $18,000 to restore the remaining statues to their “original beauty.”
Miller thought that the sculptures would be an aesthetically
pleasing addition to the campus. The sculptures “add a softness to
the campus,” Miller said in the 1980 Campus Times story about the
restoration. “And maybe a bit of romance.”
Carley recently moved into a high-rise apartment building where
there was no space for such a large piece. That’s why he decided to
give Commerce back to the University.
“I wanted her to go back,” Carley says. “I thought she should be
with her sisters.”
The campus art committee is currently searching for an appropri-
ate spot for the statue, which will be installed next year.

Light Mantra by Michael TaylorRochester glass artist Michael Taylor created a 14-foot hanging glass sculpture for the Wilmot Cancer Center in 2008. The composition was created to evoke a meditative serenity and to inspire personal contem-plation and reflection. It was donated by Sandra Hawks Lloyd and Justin Hawks Lloyd in honor of Thomas and Marion Hawks.
Memorial Art GalleryCentennial Sculpture Park, a 10-acre showcase of public art and landscaped urban space was designed to celebrate the Memorial Art Gallery’s cultural leadership as well as to build stronger ties to the gallery’s surrounding neighborhoods. With installations by internationally recognized artists Wendell Castle, Jackie ferrara, Tom Otterness, and Albert Paley anchoring the grounds around the gallery, the new park features sculptures from the museum’s collections, interactive walkways, unique gathering places, and venues for public per-formances—all integrated with other arts and cultural efforts such as ARTWalk, an effort to transform the Neighborhood of the Arts into an outdoor museum. The gallery celebrated its 100th anniversary with a public birthday party on the grounds of the museum on Oct. 13. The featured installations are• Unicorn Family by Wendell Castle
The five pieces that make up the outdoor living room are a gift of the feinbloom family.
• Marking Crossways by Jackie ferrara The patterned and paved spaces were acquired through the Marion Stratton Gould fund.
• Creation Myth by Tom Otterness The sculptures, which tell the story of an artist attempting to bring an artwork to life, were acquired through the Maurice R. and Maxine B. forman fund.
• Soliloquy by Albert Paley The sculpture is a gift of the Cameros family and Ann Mowris Mulligan, with additional support from Bank of America Charitable foundation, fullMea5ure, the Herdle-Moore fund, the Rubens family foundation, the Estate of Susan Eisenhart Schilling, and the Clara Edwin Strasenburgh fund.

Blue and Gold Chandelier by Dale ChihulyA sculpture by renowned glass artist Dale Chihuly is a centerpiece of Wolk Atrium in Eastman School’s East Wing, completed in 2010. The chandelier was the gift of an anonymous donor in memory of architect Robert Macon, whose award-winning de-signs have left a lasting legacy throughout Rochester’s landscape.
Untitled by Arch MillerAn untitled sculpture by Arch Miller, professor emeritus of art and art history, sits beside Wilder Hall, facing Intercampus Drive. The work was initially installed outside Sage Art Center in the 1960s and moved in 2011 during the develop-ment of Jackson Court and O’Brien Hall. The sculpture was a gift of the Class of 1962.
