Hearst Memorial Mining Building’s Betty and Gordon Moore Lobby was transformed into a little galaxy by J. Ignacio Diaz de Rabago, UC Berkeley Arts Research Center’s 2005-06 artist in residence.
The Spanish-born sculptor and painter, whose award-winning work has been exhibited extensively in Europe, is known for his large-scale installations in public spaces.
For the Hearst exhibit, entitled “Round Room,” he used white foam balls and transparent line to create the floating effect. It was one of two installations he did at Berkeley, his first projects in the U.S. |
