Description
Plaque for the sculpture

Weltzin Blix's Wind-Rain Song (1982) is installed outside the Hult Center for the Performing Arts. Previously, the abstract work was installed inside the Conference Center adjacent to Hult and the Hilton Hotel. It was moved to its current site, a pedestrian plaza, seven years later. According to the Smithsonian Institution, "The artist was very pleased, and constructed a piece to add to the bottom of shaft, making the sculpture the size that he had initially envisioned when he designed it."[1] It measures approximately 20 feet (6.1 m) x 22 feet (6.7 m), 8 inches (20 cm) x 1 foot (0.30 m), 1 inch (2.5 cm). A nearby plaque reads: WIND-RAIN SONG / WELTZIN BLIX / 1982. The sculpture was surveyed and deemed "treatment needed" by Smithsonian's "Save Outdoor Sculpture!" program in October 1993.[1]

gollark: But *persecuting* individuals instead of just being broken and failing them... well, there are probably examples, I just don't know how exactly to find them.
gollark: Well, "it starves people" is obvious and well-documented.
gollark: I have no idea where to look up specifically "people for whom communism has been bad".
gollark: Your meme is basically "rhetoric" too.
gollark: Ah yes, because that is always true and accurate and nobody has EVER been hurt by "communism"!
