New ZACH Modern Art Exhibit Just Cool Photos From Sponsor’s Oil Spill

Last week, the Chevron Corporation gifted the College of Engineering a new art exhibit consisting of cool-looking pictures of an oil spill. The photographs will be displayed within the atrium at ZACH and will stand next to the various boundary-pushing expressions of innovation already present in the building.

“We just wanted to show Texas A&M students how much they can accomplish with just a little bit of creativity and resilience,” Chevron recruiter Owen Patel said. “Things weren’t looking good for us when this story first broke, but, by applying the kind of critical thinking they teach here, we were able to spin this into a new environmental commitment and eventually make people completely forget about it. Plus, these photos [of animals floating dead in oil] look super metal.”

ZACH art curators are hopeful the addition will complement the thought-provoking math equation stones in the Engineering Quad and the awe-inspiring circuit boards near the Starbucks to show students the impact their degree can have. Engineering students are hoping the new exhibition will be unveiled during a grand opening event with free food. However, all groups have agreed that this artwork truly embodies the values and artistry of the College of Engineering.
