Temple VI

Lecture Hall, nicknamed LE on campus maps, is located at 325 University Boulevard in Indianapolis, Indiana in the United States.

The metal work of public art has a base of four pieces made from the same steel material that is bolted to the concrete sidewalk.

A foundry mark just above the feet of the base on the proper fight side tells the title, artist, and location of creation for Temple VI.

Artist Austin Collins has been quoted as saying: "In my recent work, The Temple Series, I hope to invoke in the viewer a sense of sacred space, of retreating, of reflection.

[5] Austin Collins offered Temple VI as an object for loan after it was displayed in the White River State Park.

Temple VI was previously located on the Washington Street bridge in the White River State Park in downtown Indianapolis.

[8] Collins recently served as a visiting judge for Eastern Illinois University's 2009 Sculpture residency and Exhibition Program".

As of November 2009, Collins has pieces of his work on view at: A Museum Studies course at IUPUI recently undertook the project of researching and reporting on the condition of 40 outdoor sculptures on the university campus.
