A lot of the artwork in the UU seems out-of-date and not widely appealing – especially the metal wall-sculpture called “Web of Life” near the Chumash Auditorium entrance. I complained about it last year and I was then invited to join the UU Art Acquisition Committee to help update the UU’s artwork and “bring down the Web of Life.” It all sounded cool, but nothing really happened with this ASI-run committee in more than a year.
All I hear from ASI is “it takes time” and “one step at a time.” Well, the Web of Suck is still hanging and as far as I know, the committee doesn’t exist anymore.
