Source/ReSource
In 2010, the Festival of the Arts commissioned Boston-based artist Michael Dowling, the 2010 Ruth Ann and Nathan Perlmutter Artist in Residence, to create "Source/ReSource," a large-scale public artwork outside of the Rose Art Museum.
Dowling, known in Boston for Medicine Wheel, an annual 24-hour vigil in commemoration of World AIDS Day, developed the work in response to the Brandeis community, which he got to know by attending classes, researching the university archives, and talking with everyone from the chaplaincy to the International Center for Ethics, Justice, and Public Life.
