Fuller

R. Buckminster Fuller was Artist in Residence at the Science Center of the University of Pennsylvania back in the 1970's. We worked on his last exhibit at the Cooper Hewett Museum at 91st and Fifth Avenues in NYC. For a guy who was expelled twice from Harvard, he sure went a long way into our future.

He was a friend of Eugene O'Neill, Isamu Noguchi, Constantin Brancusi, Pietro Pezzati and Janek Bochenek. He also designed the Buckminster Ball, which is the geodesic soccar ball we have all come to love, in 1970.

When he died, he left 80 meters (270 feet) of journals.
