2: cultural impact: █ █ █ █ ＿ Calgary’s all other giantbluering art
What is it and what does it mean?:
Better known by locals as the Giant Blue Ring, this blue hoop topped with street lights sits off the highway in the city’s northwest. The ring is meant to represent the wheel, what the city calls “the universal” transportation. The artists behind it also say it’s supposed to give a window to different views of the city — look through one side and you see downtown, look through the other and you see the countryside.
. Like a lot of public art on this list, it was called a waste of public money, but many Calgarians have grown to begrudgingly love the ring. Anytime I’m travelling back into the city from the north, it sparks a warm sense of coming home in me. Traffic passes a sculpture by New York artist Del Geist, which is called"Bowfort Towers" and is located near Canada Olympic Park in Calgary on Aug. 9, 2017.
