Zonal Harmonic Constellation 170,000; Zonal Harmonic Constellation 220,000 by Tomás Saraceno (work of art)

Two spherical sculptures, one larger and one smaller, hang suspended from a ceiling by wires in front of a wall of windows. The sculptures are made up of thin wires connecting suspended metal rings and half-rings.

Through Line by Martha Clippinger (work of art)

An installation made up of geometric squares and rectangles in a variety of sizes. Five of the rectangles are three-dimensional shapes that stick out slightly from the wall. They are lined up in a row through the middle of the mural. They are evenly spaced, with the middle rectangle slightly wider than the other four. The shapes are different shades of red, blue, orange, pink, yellow, and green.
