Orange Curves
''Orange Curves'', a public sculpture by American artist Brent Gann, is located on the Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis campus, which is near downtown Indianapolis, Indiana. ''Orange Curves'' is an abstract metal sculpture consisting of three steel curves that have been welded together at angles creating a three-dimensional composition. The entire sculpture has been painted orange. It is located on the North side of the Lecture Hall which is located at 325 University Blv.〔"Lecture Hall (LE)."

==Description==
''Orange Curves'' consists of three cast steel curves welded together. When looking at the proper front of the sculpture the middle curve appears to be the link between the bottom and top curves. This middle curve resembles a backward "c" with the top curve looped through the top of the inverted "c" and the bottom curved looped through the bottom middle portion of the same middle curve. Both the bottom and the middle curves are attached to the base with additional pieces of steel which have been bolted into the concrete base. The composition does not appear to suggest anything representational. Each curve is similar in size in shape but are not identical. The entire sculpture, except the attaching bolts, has been painted orange. An image on the artist's website〔"Orange Curves," Gann, B, 220voltdesign.com, 2002. http://www.brentgann.com/old_site/default2.html〕 indicates that this sculpture was exhibited inside in another context sometime before it was installed in its present location.
Metal is often cast, welded or both to create a sculpture. Orange curves shows evidence of both. To cast metal it must be heated in a forge to a temperature above melting point, then it is taken from the forge and poured into a mold. This mold can be made of a variety of materials ranging from metal to ceramic, but the mold must be carefully reinforced to prevent it from breaking or leaking as the metal cools and hardens.〔Verhelst, W. ''Sculpture: Tools, Materials, and Techniques, 2nd ed.'' Englewood Cliffs: Prentice-Hall, Inc, 1988. Print.〕 Welding is a process that joins two pieces of metal in a strong joint by applying heat and sometimes pressure that cools to form the joint. After the joint cools there is a joint line consisting filler metal and the metal of the two pieces that have been joined. Steel is an alloy, that is, it is a composite of more than one metal. The specific proportions of the different types of metal in steel can make it a very challenging material to work with.〔"Welding-steel and steel weldability:SOLUTIONS with Effective, Powerful Advice," Levi, E.E., welding-advisers.com, n.d. http://www.welding-advisers.com/Welding-steel.html.
