'The Alchemist', Jaume Plensa's sculpture on the MIT campus, represents a thinking man, comprised of numbers and maths functions.
Originally a loan for the duration of MIT's 150th anniversary celebrations, the sculpture is now permanently stationed between the student's center and Massachussets avenue.
Jaume Plensa is a contemporary Spanish artist, who has exhibited his work in many parts of the world. A large part of his work includes large scale sculptures in 'public' places, that have become landmarks due to their very poetic use of various forms and materials to represent the human form.
