The Device to7. Root out Evil2008Body, Mind4. & Spirit Mural20095. RecollectionsSculpture2010as diverse as the Body,Mind & Spirit mural atthe Southland LeisureCentre to the whimsicalRecollections sculpture atthe McKnight/WestwindsLRT station.All of these projects are dependent on a foundationof science and engineering.While not under the auspices of the CalgaryPublic Art Board, the Peace Bridge, designed by prominentSpanish architect Santiago Calatrava, is anotherwonderful example of art meets engineering. The130-metre tubular structure is designed to be selfsupporting,at the city’s request, without pillars into theBow River or any vertical elements that could interferewith the nearby Eau Claire helipad. The Peace Bridgerepresents quite a departure for the architect, whosedistinctive designs are recognized for their soaring mastsand asymmetrical aesthetic. There’s no denying thatthe completed bridge will be a marvel of engineering.Calgary is about to attract the attention of theart world with a highly anticipated work by renownedBarcelona-born artist Jaume Plensa, commissionedby Encana and set for installation at the base of theBow Building in 2012. While the design has not yet beenrevealed, it is bound to beanother stunning exampleof Plensa’s artistic innovation.His magnificentsculptures and installationsThe Bow6. 2012Calgary is about to attract theattention of the art world witha highly anticipated work byrenowned Barcelona-bornartist Jaume Plensa...can be found in cities worldwide with arguably his bestknown work appearing in Chicago’s Millennium Park.The Crown Fountain incorporates two facing 15-metrehigh towers across a 70-metre pool. The faces of over100 Chicago residents are shown on the towers usingLED in glass block technology. The faces, shown inextreme close-up, blink, smile and eventually puckerto shoot a fountain of water into the reflecting poolevery 12 minutes.With all of the advances being made in the areasof art technology and design, nowhere is change moreapparent than in the areas of film and music production.Take the Giant Incandescent ResonatingAnimation Festival, known as GIRAF – one of onlytwo annual festivals of animation in Canada – hostedin Calgary by the Quickdraw Animation Society.The seventh annual festival in November presentedthe best of over 400 submissions from all over theworld.
