TAILIEUCHUNG - SCUIPTURE INVASION

Special thanks are due to Rachel Dressler, who, early on, even before the sessions had taken place, raised the possibility of establishing an online journal in which the otherwise ephemeral presentations could be expanded and circulated beyond the conference audience and more rapidly than is usually now possible with print media. She has acquired the support of the University of Albany and promoted the endeavor with her own efforts and resources, assuming the responsibility for those time-consuming tasks necessary for publication in any venue including copyediting, page design, and image reproduction. . | Scu oture nvasion JULY 12 - AUGUST 30 2007 Koehnline Museum of Art Oakton Community College INTRODUCTION AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In the summer of 2007 47 sculptures invaded the Oakton Community College campus in Des Plaines joining forces with more than 20 existing works at the College s ever-expanding sculpture park.

In these early days the College also acquired the small but powerful bronze Serpentine Winged fig. 1 by world renowned Chicago sculptor Richard Hunt.
