The industry of Hollywood is all about fantasy … so it’s appropriate for some of the art in Hollywood to be the same. Here’s a cool trompe-l’oeil just off Hollywood Blvd.

Found this in La Jolla, California last month. There’s a name hidden in this piece of memorial art.

Birdsong fills the entrance to the Museum of Contemporary Art in downtown Los Angeles.
A very appropriate sound as the space is dominated by a huge metallic sculpture in the shape of a bird.
My eyes followed my ears, searching for the source of the sweet, soothing chirping sounds. There were speakers, somewhere, no doubt.
Instead, I found swallows nesting about the structure, their song amplified by the art that serves as their home.
What a wonderful melding of urban art and nature.

The Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles is an architectural marvel. Thank you, Frank Gehry.

These windows at the San Diego Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla, California, showcase the living art that is the Pacific Ocean.
A security guard there said artists would prefer not to be displayed in this gallery because people spend more time staring out the window than at anything else in the room. (And as it happens, on this day, the other walls are bare.)

These are the horse sculptures outside Calgary city hall, looking over Olympic Plaza toward The Bow skyscraper and the twin towers of the Suncor Energy Centre.

Here is some Calgary public art I can happily support. This twisted tower of light is one of several going up at both ends of the 7 Ave. transit corridor, at City Hall and Downtown West stations. The whole installation is called Luminous Crossings; you can read more about it here.

There’s a cool statue outside the Bay store in downtown Calgary, showing two businessmen seemingly making a deal. Until this week, I hadn’t noticed what their hands were doing.
