Get a behind-the-scenes view
into the making of two spectacular, site-specific works by the internationally
acclaimed artist Shahzia Sikander that were unveiled at Princeton in April
2017.
Soaring above the forum of the
Julis Romo Rabinowitz Building—the new home for the Department of Economics—is
the site of Quintuplet Effect, where layered images of flight, descent,
material economies, and spiritual transcendence invite contemplation and
conversation. Nearby, as one climbs the stairs in the Louis A. Simpson
International Building, a shimmering, sixty-six-foot-high glass and ceramic
scroll entitled Ecstasy as Sublime, Heart as Vector takes visitors on a
journey from the mortal bonds of humanity to the realm of abstraction.
