On October 8, from 4:00-5:30 PM, the MMAC will celebrate the unveiling of its newest outdoor sculpture, “Signal,” with a light reception. The piece, originally designed by famed UM Professor Rudy Audio in 1966, was built out of poured concrete and ceramic. After many years eroding in the elements on the campus, it had to be removed. However, it was recently re-created in core ten steel by UM grad Nick Chaussee with guidance and support from the Autio family and Autio’s assistant Hugh Warford. The new work to be permanently installed on the museum’s east lawn, is a metal recreation as Autio originally intended.
