1. UUML_190713_006.JPG: "In & Out - a personal experience of library in China 1970s" , Knowledge Exile, 2009 Knowledge Exile is the multi-part sculpture installation located throughout the interior and exterior plazas of the library created from bronze, resin, glass, stone and mixed media. This portion of the installation is based on the rare collection books of the Marriott Library, the less important books in our lives and artist created books to incorporate many media and forms. For Suikang Zhao, "a library has two complete opposite metaphors: one represents knowledge and freedom, the other is a rigid grid system and institutional enclosure." The artist explains these views were partially formed during his secretive and unauthorized visits to the library during the Cultural Revolution of the People's Republic of China. The artist realized, while creating this work, a complex set of emotions between gaining knowledge as part of free thought, his love of books and struggling with the structure of the institution that houses that knowledge. These experiences of his youth and this work made him confront his urges to deform, de-institutionalize, or simply run away with the books.
2. UUML_190713_022.JPG: "In & Out - a personal experience of library in China 1970s" , Rainbow of Wisdom is the sculpture created for the main atrium of the library. The medium is acrylic and stainless steel. Suikang Zhao has referenced a Baroque feel without any literal motif but in modern simplicity. Mr Zhao has created an up lifting arched space with a balance of symmetry. Every differently curved line addresses the issue of the vertical space by contrasting the vertical columns, yet in a manner, conforming to the vertical architecture. The Native American text embedded within the sculpture adds to the artist's view that this work is designed to be universal and not a fixed linear view point: The soul would have no rainbow if the eye had no tears. When you die, you will be spoken of as those in the sky, like the stars. We are from Mother Earth and we are going back to Mother Earth. To touch the earth is the have harmony with nature.

4. UUML_190713_090.JPG: Corrado Cagli From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Corrado Cagli ([1910–1976) was an Italian painter of Jewish heritage, who lived in the United States during World War II. Cagli was born in Ancona but he moved with his family to Rome in 1915 at the age of five. In 1927, he made his artistic debut, with a mural painted on a building in Via Sistina. The following year, he made another mural painting in a hall in Via Vantaggio. In 1932, he held his first personal exhibition at the Gallery of Art of Rome. Together with other artists such as Giuseppe Capogrossi and Emanuele Cavalli, he formed the group "New Roman School of Painting," better known as Scuola Romana. In 1937 and 1938, he exhibited works at the "Comet" gallery in New York City. In 1938, when Benito Mussolini stepped up the persecution of Jews, Cagli fled to Paris and later went to New York where he became a U.S. citizen. He enlisted in the U.S. Army and was involved in the 1944 Normandy landings, and fought in Belgium and Germany. He was with the forces that liberated the Buchenwald concentration camp, and made a series of dramatic drawings on that subject. In 1948, Cagli returned to Rome to take up permanent residence there. From that time forward, he experimented in various abstract and non-figurative techniques (neo-metaphysical, neo-cubist, informal). He was awarded the Guggenheim prize (1946) and the Marzotto prize (1954). Cagli died in Rome in 1976.

Wikipedia Description: J. Willard Marriott Library
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The J. Willard Marriott Library is the main academic library of the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, Utah. The university library has had multiple homes since the first University of Utah librarian was appointed in 1850. The current building was opened in 1968 and named for J. Willard Marriott, founder of Marriott International, in 1969. After two major renovations, the building is more than 500,000 square feet (46,000 m2) and houses more than 4.5 million volumes. The University of Utah Press and Red Butte Press are divisions of the Marriott Library.

History

The first University of Utah librarian was appointed in 1850, the same year the school was founded. University president John R. Park opened a library and reading room stocked with his personal collection of books on loan to the university in 1874. The library moved to the LeRoy Cowles Building in 1900 and the George Thomas Library Building in 1935, both on Presidents Circle. The current five-story building was opened in 1968 and was named for J. Willard Marriott in 1969 when he contributed $1 million for library collections, the largest single contribution ever received by the university at that time.

The library was expanded 210,000 square feet (20,000 m2) in 1996, which almost doubled the library's size, and was expanded again during a major renovation between 2005 and 2009. The purpose of this renovation was to improve the seismic stability of the building, provide clearer pathways through the building, improve environmental controls, and allow for more natural light. Several additions were also made to the building including an automated storage and retrieval system that can store up to 2 million items, a larger computer lab, additional classrooms and teaching labs, a new indoor caf�, a rooftop garden, and additional study areas including the George S. Eccles Grand Reading Room.
