Kankakee Community College [Meridian IX - by Ed McCullough]

Ed and wife Gale, sitting on Ed's latest installation, MERIDIAN IX, at Kankakee Community College. These images were taken on August 15, 2011, a beautiful summer day when the sculpture was installed.

MERIDIAN IX..
by Ed McCullough
Installation: August 15, 2011
Location: Kankakee Community College..
The latest in the Meridian Series by Ed. I've seen two of his earlier works from the Meridian series..

• MERIDIAN VIII [Dominican University, River Forest, IL]..
• MERIDIAN VII [at Chicago Police HQ Building, 35th Street and Michigan Ave]..

And if I am not mistaken the last of the Meridian Series, Meridian X is being fabricated at the Vector Fabicating Inc. Very soon I might have images of this piece.

If it's all about Location, Location, Location.. then Meridian IX is very well located.

Amigos [that's the term they like to use for themselves!] Barry Tinsely and Ed McCullough.. sweating it out with lots of laughter.

Ed surveying the installation..

Here's Ed with the Kaeb family [Jerry and Sara Kaeb and children, Anthony, Morgan and Samuel] All members of the Kaeb family, have their initials inscribed on the sculpture. For more, click here..

Anthony, Morgan and Samuel, were the best models to pose with the sculpture! Thank You!

One of my favourite images.. is of two stalwart sculptors, Barry Tinsley and Ed McCullough goofing around in the post-installation celebrations at "Blues" diner at Kankakee..
