Reviews of Motu Viget by Mark di Suvero, 1977
"If I had known about this tire swing a long time ago when I first came to grand rapids, I would have chosen it as my favorite spot. I get I'm 21 years old and should grow up a little more, but again, what's the problem with having a little fun on a tire swing. It's not like I had anywhere important to go that day. 30 minutes just spinning on the tire swing is a stress reliever big time for me."
"Another really unique sculpture that deserves some foot traffic and some sight gazing. It’s simplicity is almost sophisticated enough to keep you wondering how things could be so simple. Beautiful view at night during the spring, summer, and fall. Enough beauty to tell your friends about it. Go see it. Enjoy!"
"A sculpture named Motu Viget created by Mark di Suvero of essentially a large tire swing made of raw construction material. It’s pretty cool to see all the art installations around the city. It’s interesting and nice to see one like this that you can actually interact with and provides movement. I couldn’t help but smile as I swung back and forth in this large thing."
"Iconic sculpture to enjoy in urban parkland setting. Usually able to use and view without waiting on weekday evenings."
"Giant tire swing that is hidden behind the federal building and above the parking ramp. Kids loved it."
