"Change Things" Installation at UC Riverside

In front of the Fine Arts building on the University of California, Riverside campus (near where Canyon Crest Dr. intersects with University Ave.) is a thought-inducing art installation entitled, Change Things or Things Change.  As described in an InsideUCR article, "The piece by San Diego artist Roy McMakin is titled “a circular sculpture about usefulness amongst other things.” It features more than a dozen steel poles with aluminum signs on top that read either "Things" or "Change". The words are also affixed to a rotating turbine amid the Cottonwood trees, green and yellow plants, and concrete benches and seats." The message can be read as either Things Change or Change Things depending on one's perspective.
