October 2009
Brenda Terris, executive director of Sarasota Season of Sculpture, watches as "Oloid," by sculptor E. Calder Powel, is installed on the bayfront.
“Not to take away from previous seasons,” says Terris, “but this season is different. The sculptures are more subdued. The curation process, the whole feel is different. It’s not the bright-colored kitschy stuff people are used to seeing. The shock factor has been replaced with a quality factor.”
