City of Calgary public art called Luminous Crossings

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.

Dealmakers

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.

Here’s a cool art installation at Place des Arts in Montreal. Walking through the triangular structures causes them to play a series of xylophone-like tones.
