This John Chamberlain sculpture is perched in a nook of the Capella tower. The cartoonish surface treatment and violence residual in the twisted metal clamors for attention in the buttoned-down spaces. But there is no one there to attend. If a sculpture shrieked in an empty skyway, did anything really happen?
