THE OBSERVATORY

Here are some pics of the piece at Edworthy Park.



THE OBSERVATORY



Current CAMPER artist José Luis Torres is beginning his final installation for the second installment of TRUCK’s collaboration with the City of Calgary’s Celebration of the Bow 2010. The architecture-inspired structures will be constructed in St. Patrick's Island near where the Elbow River and the Bow River meet. The final project for THE OBSERVATORY will also be the host site for the Reception this Friday, August 20th from noon to 5pm.

Until this site installation Torres has been building the elements of these installations in TRUCK's Main Space. These structures make you slow down and take in your surroundings and gently guide you to focus on the river. The locations of THE OBSERVATORY are mapped through TRUCK’s website, WWW.TRUCK.CA.
