What does a nerd do while his daughter is on the couch with strep throat?

Make a Wikipedia article about the best work of art by Jean Tinguely in the United States. Go have a look and fix and typos I’ve left behind, or add more knowledge …

Some nice photos by triciagilson from the Tinguely opening, including one of the girl who turned it on, and one of my wife & Oley.   

Jean Tinguely’s Chaos I in Columbus, Indiana was brought back to life this past Saturday (4 June 2011).  It had been inactive for over three years while the original building it was in was taken down & a new building built around it.  

Chaos I is an extraordinary work of art, and without question it is the most significant work by Tinguely in the United States.  Check out Richard McCoy’s art21 blog about the sculpture.
