Contemplation ~ twisted chimney

Who?  What?  When?  Where?  Why?
How?
Best bricklayer ever?
Built using common core?
Nightmare for Santa?
To be or knot to be?

This unusual looking chimney, twisted into a knot, is actually an abstract sculpture called "Performance Piece" on the campus of Johnson County Community College in Overland Park, Kansas.  It's 24 feet high and made from "galvanized steel, epoxy, pigments, cement, bugles, fire brick, foam, and fiberglass" by the sculptor Dennis Oppenheim in the year 2000, according to this source.

Bugles?

Yeah!
