Foam
figures at Artsfest
Sculptor and Drury Students create wacky creatures.
Springfield News-Leader
May 3-5, 2002
Last week, sculptor Russ RuBert called to invite
me to see the wacky foam figures that peopled his
studio. They're for Artsfest, he said enticingly,
knowing I would likely be writing something up.
I tried to imagine what could be wackier than the
giant stuffed snakes and metal sculptures that usually

RuBert—Keyes Gallery Exhibit
Sculpture Magazine—International Sculpture
Center
Two interactive welded steel sculptures in Russ
RuBert's mega-exhibition of 160 works at the newly
reopened Keyes Gallery stand out. Hurricane Fran
(1999) twists upward toward its awkward leering
mobile head. Viewers may grab onto the red silk
ribbons of Fran's hair and run around the sculpture
to send her steel head spinning. This twisted form
activates the viewer; it was created using both
Mac and IBM CAD programs and center-of-balance calculations...
