Each entry features color photography and a biographical and descriptive overview, and the catalog includes a detailed fold-out map of the collection.One of the most distinguishing features on campus, the public art program shapes impressions of the university and offers a distinctive setting for memorable experiences. The collection not only enhances the beauty of the landscape but also supports scholarship and learning by demonstrating significant art historical trends from the past six decades.

Featuring a playful public work of art designed to interrupt and alter our perception of space.Few artists possess the ability to shape the ways we inhabit space as profoundly as Sarah Oppenheimer. Challenging the idea of sculptures as static objects, the artist animates inert materials, transforming them into vibrant apparatuses that interact with their surroundings. These manipulations defy the boundaries between sculpture and architecture, prompting us to reimagine our interactions with the spaces we navigate, inviting us to form new relationships with one another, and encouraging us to play. Landmarks, the public art program of the University of Texas at Austin, is pleased to present Oppenheimer’s C-010106, a commission designed with precise structural calculations that interrupt space and complicate our perceptions. Occupying the surface of the Peyton Family Bridge at the Cockrell School of Engineering, C-010106 invites us to pause and wonder. Each view tempts us to engage with the work’s complex geometry and spatial arrangements, as it yields surprising vistas that heighten our awareness of others.

Motherhood in Four Acts is a publication about the sculptures and sculptural installations of Mexico-based artist Adeline de Monseignat (b. 1987, Monaco). It is also a publication about the artist’s experiences of matrescence – the process of becoming a mother – and how these experiences are interwoven with her recent sculptural works. Inspired by a theatrical production or play, the publication is structured in four acts. The first, titled ‘Earth’ presents the work Seedscape, which takes the form of smooth, rounded ‘seeds’ carved from sand-coloured travertine, exploring themes of the seed and its potential for life, the earth and fertility, pregnancy and the womb. The publication features documentation of three presentations of the work, culminating on the rooftop terrace of the Museo MARCO in Monterrey, Mexico, in Monseignat’s exhibition Enceinte (Pregnant).The second act, entitled ‘Fire’, presents the sculpture Uketamo, which considers the experience of giving birth, the emptiness of the womb post-partum, and coming to terms with the newborn’s separation from the umbilical cord. Comprising an outdoor sculptural installation launched in 2024 at Casa Wabi Foundation’s Sabino site, the artist employs tezontle – a volcanic rock – to create mounds with empty spaces inside and mirrors at their bases, reflecting the sky. Seeming to emerge out of the gravel-covered ground, these mounds and cavities resemble volcanoes after an eruption, bringing fertile minerals out of the fires deep underground and into the air of the earth’s surface.The third act, ‘Air’, documents the body of work Skin to Skin, presented at Colector Gallery in Monterrey in 2023–24. The works evoke notions of a mother’s intimate first contacts with their baby, the proximity between them, the bringing together of their flesh, and breathing together. The sculptures that comprise this series juxtapose white travertine – a form of sedimentary rock – and polished bronze, as if mother and newborn are holding each other’s bodies close, almost wrapped around one another. The final act, ‘Water’, revolves around the work Aurum, representing breastfeeding and the sense of the mother’s body producing and releasing milk and other fluids. In the work, a mother’s breasts take the form of a fountain, both a vessel and provider. ‘I remember feeling like I was liquifying, no exaggeration. My body had transmuted into one big vessel’, explains the artist. A bronze version of the work, replete with basin and flowing water, was on show at MASA Galería in Mexico City in 2023.The four bodies of work are discussed in a thoughtful and thought-provoking essay by Andrée Bober, curator and founding director of Landmarks, the public art programme of the University of Texas at Austin. Along with a foreword by Adeline de Monseignat, each act features text entries providing background information to the works and contexts in which they have been shown. Edited by Katharine Jaensch and designed by Gabriela Bustillos, this hardback publication features texts in both English and Spanish, with translations by Jimena Lechuga. The publication was made possible with the support of Colector, Monterrey, Houston, Dallas.Adeline de Monseignat (b. 1987) is a sculptor based between London and Mexico City. Her work explores the life within inanimate objects through mythology, symbolism and anthropomorphism. Using natural and manufactured materials, she creates dialogue about the cycles of life. She has exhibited worldwide and holds degrees from UCL and City of Guilds.
