You may have seen some interesting art outside a new building and thought, "Why do so many building have these strange pieces of art?" Well, many states mandate that when public money is use to build a new building, 1% of the cost should go to art. So if you are in search of finding new art, usually large structures, find the newest building in your town.Take for example the art in this photograph. It commands a large presence outside the new business complex at the University of Oregon. At first glance, it appears to be a huge metal wall. But if you wait for a moment and if you're lucky enough for a slight breeze, you'll be surprised to see a ripple of a wave move from panel to panel as small metal squares blow gently in the wind. It's quite unexpected.
The next time you see something new being built, wander around it and you never know what art you might stumble across.
