      You will find this marvelous multi-media work in front of CHI Health Center Arena. It is the work of team led by Matthew Placzek of Placzek Studios and was completed in 2007. There is metered street parking, commercial lots and garages available to park. And check this piece out.

      It consists of an illuminated 35-foot stainless steel clock, and features six larger than life bronze figures that are intended to symbolize arts and humanities. One figure is a mime, there is also a jazz musician, a juggler, a man on stilts. You will find Numerous multicolored spheres around the clock and in the hands of the sculptures that only add to its appeal.

      The piece continues inside of the building where you will find color balls that look like suspended balloons, that produces a state-of-the-art light show in the evenings. All in all, the piece is made up of more than 2,000 LED lights, 4,000 pounds of bronze, 28,000 pounds of stainless steel, and 360 tons of concrete and had a budget of $1.7 million.

      The sculptures are so very detailed. They almost look real. I was very impressed. This piece is groundbreaking and is a signature piece. The sad part is that this will be a secondary stop for most of its visitors, who are attending an event at the Arena.

      Either way, this is a must-see piece and I highly recommend checking it out. As with most sculptures that I have visited and reviewed, this is not a long stop. I was there less than 15 minutes. So, you may want to consider planning out additional stops at many of the other attractions in the area, or making this stop part of a larger itinerary to maximize your time and trip.
