Welcome to Covergence 

The Public Art Program was created by the Utah State Legislature in 1985 with the passage of the Percent-for-Art-Act. This statute allows for 1% of construction costs for new or remodeled State facilities to be added to the project for the commissioning or acquisition of art that is site specific to the facility and community.

Douwe Blumberg’s 20-foot-tall work of cast aluminum, Convergence, was installed in October of 2017 at the State of Utah Unified State Lab in Taylorsville. Blumberg created it to give visual form to the work of various teams and labs in the building who aim to arrive at the truth in the many mysteries and challenges they work with every day.

The sculpture measures 20’ tall from the top of the concrete base to the top of the head.  It is fabricated from 2,500 cast aluminum rings of three different sizes.  The alloy used for the castings is an aluminumalloy known as “Almag 535” It has excellent corrosion resistance and machining characteristics.  The rings were each welded together using both the Mig and Tig welding.
