Title: Grande Disco

Artist: Arnaldo Pomodoro

Commissioned by: Nathan Cummings

Location: 5812 S. Ellis--U of C Medical Center Surgery Brain Research Pavilion

Medium: Bronze

Commentary: This work shows nothing you can recognize except the great disk (Grande Disco) itself. Still it is fascinating to see the contrast between the sleek bronze outside and the dark and complicated inside which might remind you of a machine, even though there are no machine parts. Since the sculpture is outside a brain research center, perhaps it will make you think of the of the complex workings of the brain.
Try to see Pomodoro's Grande Radar when you visit Grande Disco. It is just two blocks away in the garden of the Smart Gallery.
