Best Urban Arts for an Anxious Age

Table, Chairs and Hanging Ball

The best-kept secret of urban art is hidden away in the new housing complex at the UA. It is a large stone table surrounded by 11 large stone chairs. They're perfect for a picnic or a pre-game dinner, and you can avoid the crowds and hubbub on the mall. The kicker to this piece of art is the large and, one would think, dangerously heavy ball hanging over the table. It's impossible to keep your eyes off of it in case it suddenly drops and smashes your dinner party to bits. If you like living on the edge, check it out in the plaza area surrounded by the new housing north of Sixth Street and west of Highland Street.
