Metamorphosis: James Kitchen

Saturday, June 7, 11:00 AM

Three historic girders were salvaged from the 1895 Springfield Armory shed after the 2011 tornado. Each 3,600-pound truss is a riveted relic from an era before welding and once stood where Civil War veterans marched. At the heart of the sculpture is a massive globe constructed from New England relics - tools, horsehoes, arrowheads, and other historic artifact - swilring in a celebration of innovation and heritage. 

Join us for the public reveal of the assembled base of what will become a monumental 42-foot-tall, recycled New England sculpture by artist James Kitchen. On view through 2026.
