Location Northwest corner of Second Street
and Marshall Way Description The Loloma Transit Station serves a dual purpose: as a beacon for transit users and as a gateway for downtown Scottsdale. The buildings are constructed in perspective, each narrowing towards a vanishing point. The optical effect is enhanced by concentric rings that radiate and overlap. The rings also appear on the sides and tops of the buildings, as if the ground has been folded to create them. Desert native palo brea trees provide shade throughout the site, and the landmark clock tower stands to the north. About the Artist Since the 1980s, Vito Acconci

the phrase public sense literally. As stated by the artist, space is public'
in the sense that: 1) it's usable by people; 2) it's accessible to people
and 3) it functions as a public forum. He endeavors to create a piece
of public art that includes the conventions everyone in the community
knows by heart,
but also shift them so that they may provoke thought, be questioned and
reconsidered.
