One of the claims the sculpture people make is that tons of people will come to South Orange to see Tau. Of course, they have never presented any data to back this up. And I don't think there is a marketing plan ($) to make South Orange a tourist stop, is there?   jayjay Citizen Username: Jayjayp Post Number: 567 Registered: 6-2005 Posted on Thursday, April 6, 2006 - 10:58 pm:        Have any of the sculpture people or any of the BOT's spoken with anyone at Hunter College about what it takes to maintain a Tau, and whether they carry any special insurance and whether they are bound by terms similar to those in the contract the village signed. I guess if they bought it outright (and I don't know whether they did) they could do with it whatever they want. Anyone out there know?   Brett Weir Citizen Username: Brett_weir Post Number: 1436 Registered: 4-2004 Posted on Thursday, April 6, 2006 - 11:22 pm:        Saw it by accident in January- it's huge. I found it cold, formless and just ugly. As stated in other threads, I think it will look very out-of-place on Sloan Street. The Hunter College building it stands by is huge, so it doesn't dominate the landscape quite so much.   Just The Aunt Supporter Username: Auntof13 Post Number: 4623 Registered: 1-2004 Posted on Friday, April 7, 2006 - 12:09 am:        Didn't someone post a picture of someone standing next to it? I agree someone should call Hunter College and ask some questions. Think maybe I will tomorrow.   Jim McLaughlin Citizen Username: Jmclaugh Post Number: 78 Registered: 3-2005 Posted on Friday, April 7, 2006 - 7:29 am:        Here's a link to a photo of the Hunter Tau. http://artnet.com/Magazine/reviews/walrobinson/robinson8-2-16.asp Is it possible that the SO Tau will fabricated on a much smaller scale?   composerjohn Citizen Username: Composerjohn Post Number: 822 Registered: 8-2004 Posted on Friday, April 7, 2006 - 8:21 am:        Jim - the Tau is going to be 14' x 21'. I believe it's the same size as the Hunter Tau.
