Skull, Corridor, Building 3

Fri, 02 Mar 2007 22:26:02 +0000

I walk over this whenever I pass through Building 3 but have no idea of its story.It more likely than not has something to do with the Phi Kappa Sigma (Skullhouse) fraternity at MIT; the symbol in the lower-right corner of their logo matches the symbols in the eyes of this skull. Similar skulls can be found in a couple other places on campus, although none are coming to mind right now.

Figure Decoupee, Picasso - MIT, Cambridge, MA

Wed, 28 Mar 2007 02:08:28 +0000

This is a concrete sculture that was designed by Picasso in 1958. This version was executed by Carl Neiser in 1963. When I posted the picture on Flickr, someone from Amsterdam posted a picture of the same statue there. I've asked for him to send me the longitude and latitude and will add a Spot when I get am able. It would be great to find out if there are others out there.

This is a large red dollar sign that had (at least as of February) been located on the MIT campus. I noticed today that this is no longer there - no idea where it went or what happened to it. Enjoy the photo though.
