Overview
In 2013 the Madison Public Library in Madison, WI added a new third floor and 25,000 square feet of space to the existing 95,000 square-foot building, originally constructed in 1965. The Central Library showcases art created by local, national and international artists including this commissioned work by R&R Studios, Question Mark. The two-story tall aluminum light sculpture contains 372 LED lights.
Goals
Question Mark is one of the first works of art to greet library patrons as they arrive. The sculpture is meant to provoke all kinds of questions that library patrons can search for the answers to within the library.
