RASHID JOHNSON
(American, b. 1970)
Broken Pavilion
Students from the Rochester City School District’s
neighboring School of the Arts (SOTA) inspired this
commissioned piece. When Johnson visited MAG to
explore ideas, he was drawn to the Black and Brown
SOTA students mingling on Prince Street. He designed
this piece to face the school yet welcome everyone—
from SOTA’s developing artists to community members
to museum visitors. The interior of this expansive
10-by-40-foot sculpture features non-gendered, non-
raced faces, and its overall curved form invites in and
embraces those who explore the pavilion.
The Rashid Johnson Community Pavilion is supported
NATHAN MABRY through a gift from Constellation Brands, the Sands
(American, b. 1978) Family Foundation, and Abby and Doug Bennett.

JUN KANEKO
(American, born in Japan, b. 1942)
Untitled, Dango
MAG’s Dango (Japanese for
“dumpling”) is one in a series of
monumental, glazed works created by
Kaneko. Of the sculpture, Ceramics
Monthly says, “In the unity of physical
form and surface pattern, the Dango
is like a Pyrenean boulder incised with
ancient petroglyphs.” Kaneko is drawn
to installations that promote civic
interactions and has completed more
than 60 public art commissions. Over
his career, Kaneko has also partnered
with industrial facilities to realize many
large-scale, handbuilt sculptures.
