at the Madden Garden tonight
By Todd Andebson
StaffReporter
After months of being the center of
a hundred discussions, ‘Tom Note
bode” will make its way into the uni
versity and Lincoln community today.
Tonight at 6, Claes Oldenburg and
Coosje van Bruggen’s newest piece,
‘Tom Notebook,” will be unveiled and
the surrounding Madden Garden will
be dedicated at 12th and Q streets.
The creators of the newest addition
to the Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery
Sculpture Garden are an internation
ally known husband-and-wife team
who use everyday objects as their pri
mary source of inspiration.
Some of the couple’s other works
include “Batcolumn,” in front of the
Social Security Administration Build
ing in Chicago; “Clothespin,” at Cen
tre Square in Philadelphia;
“Spoonbridge and Cherry,” in the
sculpture garden at the Walker Art
Center in Minneapolis and “Shuttle
cocks” at the Nelson-Atkins Museum
of Art in Kansas City.
Biases aside, their newest piece has
been called one of their best works by
several local artists and experts.
Anne Pagel, director of the Haydon
Art Gallery in the Haymarket, said
“Tom Notebook” is among the artists’
strongest works.

It represents the university interacting
with the community
Daniel Siedell
chief curator for the Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery
“It’s an absolutely marvelous sculp
ture,” she said. She added that the piece
is very interesting because it incorpo
rates several forms and is in three parts,
including the shape of the spiral, and
the flatness of the pages.
“For Lincoln to have a piece is a
real asset to the community,” Pagel
said.
Daniel Siedell, chief curator for the
Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery, also
said the sculpture is aesthetically pleas
ing.
“Quite honestly, I think it’s one of
their best pieces because of the repre
sentational aspect of the piece; yet it’s
abstract enough to allow multiple view
points,” he said.
The artists drew their inspiration for
the piece from a visit to Lincoln. The
notebook’s spiral represents tornados
in Nebraska and the word “Roller
Skate” visible on one of the pages rep
resents the artists’ visit to Rock N’ Roll
Runza.
Anne Burkholder, who works with
the Burkholder Project in the
Haymarket, said she enjoyed the piece
because of its abstract qualities, but
also because it incorporates aspects of
Nebraska that people can relate to.
She also said the location of the
piece was important to the success of
the sculpture.
“It uses the Lied Center for a back
drop and feces the downtown area,”
she said.
Chris Payne, a local artist who
works with Gallery 9 in downtown Lin
coln, said the location of the piece was
important because of the number of
people who will see it.
“It’s next to the University where
everybody will be and lots of people
will see it just driving by,” Payne said.
Siedell said he agreed.
“Those who spend time downtown
will enjoy the piece,” Siedell said.
“You don’t need to be on campus to
run into it.”
