THE ARTS: AROUND TOWN
art all around us
Columbus is known for its collection of modern architecture. But the city is also home to some
world-class public art. Visitors will see a variety of interesting and eye-catching sculptures located
throughout the city. Below are some of the more than 40 pieces of art available for public viewing.
“Chaos I”
The Commons, 300 Washington St.
Sculptor Jean Tinguely is known for his kinetic
or moving sculptures. One of those is “Chaos I.”
Tinguely used locally obtained materials, and
under his supervision, local crafts people helped
to build the sculpture. The work represents one
of his main statements: “Life is movement.”
2 Arcs de 212.5˚ — “Red C”
300 Washington St.
Bernar Venet’s 2 Arcs de 212.5° — also known as
the “Red C” — is typical of his minimalist work in
steel. Seemingly precariously balanced, this work
reflects his love of mathematics and his habit of
investigating material, form, balance and spatial
perception.
“Ancestral Way”
Third Street between Jackson and Lindsey streets
Robert Pulley’s 11 organic forms appear to march
» in procession along the hillside as visitors exit
the city. The hand-built stoneware fired ceramic
sculptures combine references to the human
figure with organic and geologic forms.
Bartholomew County
Memorial for Veterans
Courthouse lawn
Twenty-five limestone pillars, each 40 feet high,
comprise the Bartholomew County Memorial for
Veterans. Engraved on the columns are the names
of those who gave their lives, along with excerpts
from selected correspondence. Though large, the
piece offers a meditative and intimate experience
from the letters to and from the soldiers. It was
designed by Thompson and Rose Architects and
received the 1996 Boston Society of Architects
Unbuilt Architecture Design Award.

» Cummins Irwin Office Building
To the casual observer, Columbus might seem an unlikely place for architec-
tural masterpieces. Situated in southern Indiana, divided by rivers and creeks,
the city rises from the prairie like corn in the surrounding fields.
The city’s architectural adventure began with First Christian Church,
which Eliel Saarinen, a Finnish architect, designed at the request of the
congregation. Completed in 1942, it anchors a city block.
Its tower, different from the traditional steeples of religious buildings, is
visible throughout downtown.
The notion that a small town could be home to architecturally signifi-
cant buildings was not lost on community leaders. Through the Cummins
Engine Foundation, and leadership of J. Irwin Miller, an offer was made topay the architectural fees for the design of Elementary School, Richard Meier (1982); in 1874, anchors the southern edge of
a much-needed public school. Later, the Columbus Regional Health building, downtown. Next to it is a limestone mon-

People Trail
Columbus, long known for its architecture, is
often referred to as the “Athens of the Prairie.”
Perhaps, thanks to its extensive People Trail sys-
tem, Columbus could also be called the “Athens
of the Trail System.”
Following a 1983 master plan update, a com-
mittee formed with the purpose of creating a trail
system for walkers, runners and bikers around
the community.
The first section, stretching from Lincoln
Park to Donner Park along 19th Street, opened
in 1987, and the system has grown slowly but
steadily over the years.

Bike, Walk Columbus
The city of Columbus has launched a new section of its website
called “Bike Walk Columbus.”
The site is intended as a resource for pedestrians and bicyclists in
Columbus and will serve as a primary source of information as the
city continues to improve and expand its network of bicycle and
pedestrian pathways and accommodations throughout the city.
“Bike Walk Columbus” features an online interactive map of existing
bicycle and pedestrian facilities that will be continually updated
to reflect the most current inventory of bicycle and pedestrian
infrastructure in Columbus and Bartholomew County.
The mobile-friendly tool can be used anywhere to assist bicyclists
and pedestrians with route planning.
The website also includes an interactive map of ongoing bicycle-
and pedestrian-related construction projects.
The map is intended to provide up-to-date information on the
various public infrastructure projects underway in the city of
Columbus and Bartholomew County, including sidewalks, bicycle
lanes, trails and similar infrastructure.
The website can be accessed at columbus.in.gov/bikewalk.
