It's too cold to be outside right now, but back in the warmer weather I had the opportunity to walk around in downtown Calgary. Wonderland is a sculpture by Spanish artist Jaume Plensa helped unveil his sculpture on June 4, 2013

“Public spaces have been essential to my work for many years, because they have this tremendous capacity to connect people not only with art, but also with the great architecture that surrounds it, and with one another,” said Jaume Plensa. “When Stephen Ross asked me to create a new, large-scale sculpture for the lobby of 30 Hudson Yards, I said yes immediately. The eleven spheres that make up Voices are composed of letters from eight different alphabets, to inspire people with the idea that while we come from many places and many cultures, we are here as one community.”

...oder auf deutsch "wir" - so heißt die 5 m hohe, aus stählernen Buchstaben, Zahlen und Formelzeichen gefertigte, begehbare Skulptur des katalanischen Künstlers Jaume Plensa.
Sie war mein persönliches Highlight des Würth'schen Skulpturengartens.
Gerade mit den federleichten Wolken am wieder sonnigen Himmel ergab sich eine wundervolle Korrespondenz zwischen dem Kunstwerk und der umgebenden Natur.

Le Nomade de Jaume Plensa veille sur le port d’Antibes.
Ce géant d’une dizaine de mètres de haut dresse son armature sur le bastion Saint-Jaume, ancienne fortification Vauban qui protégeait l’entrée du port d’Antibes.
Constitué d’une dentelle de lettres majuscules en acier blanc, il se détache avec délicatesse sur le ciel généralement d’un bleu profond de la Côte d’Azur, évoquant une silhouette humaine aux formes courbes, assise devant la mer, une jambe repliée contre sa poitrine. Sa face est ouverte, les lettres s’y arrêtent soudainement, comme effacées par la beauté du paysage qu’il contemple.
This giant of a dozen feet tall erects its aerial reinforcement on the bastion Saint-Jaume, old fortification Vauban which protected the entrance of the port of Antibes.
Made up of a lace of uppercase letters in white steel, it stands out delicately on the sky generally deep blue of the Côte d'Azur, evoking a human figure with curved shapes, sitting in front of the sea, one leg folded against Her chest. His face is open, the letters stop there suddenly, as if erased by the beauty of the landscape he is contemplating.

The Bow is the most recognizable building in the Calgary skyline. You can see it from almost anywhere in Calgary and it is an impressive skyscraper. All pictures and postcards of the Calgary skyline had to be updated once the Bow was completed in 2012. It is that impressive.
Spanish artist Jaume Plensa created a giant sculpture called Wonderland at the base of The Bow. The wire mesh piece stands 39 feet high and resembles a young girl’s head. (It was actually inspired by a real girl in Spain.)

Source est installée à l’entrée principale du centre-ville, sur une terrasse aménagée à l’intersection du boulevard Robert-Bourassa et de la rue Wellington. La sculpture en acier inoxydable consiste en un entrelacement aléatoire de lettres tirées des alphabets latin, grec, chinois, arabe, cyrillique, hindi, hébreu et japonais, qui donne corps à un personnage monumental en position assise. L’œuvre est une allégorie de l’humanité : comme les cellules assemblées forment le corps humain, les lettres composent des mots, et les gens forment une communauté. Source représente ainsi la richesse des cultures que Montréal a accueillies au cours de ses presque quatre siècles d’existence. Symbole du passé, du présent et de l’avenir de la cité, la sculpture Source, vue à la lumière du jour ou sous son éclairage nocturne, invite les habitants à marcher, à rêver et à se rencontrer.
En créant Source pour le 375e anniversaire de la fondation de Montréal, l’artiste a voulu tenir compte de l’importance de l’eau dans l’histoire de la ville – tant pour le commerce que pour l’immigration et les communications –, mais aussi de l’importance de la place des peuples autochtones. Source, un mot identique en français et en anglais, fait référence à la naissance d’un cours d’eau, mais peut aussi représenter les racines de l’énergie et de la vitalité d’une ville : ses habitants et leurs origines, la fluidité et la créativité des idées, les cycles de mouvement et de renouvellement.

JAUME PLENSA: TOGETHER, VENICE BIENNALE
APRIL 14, 2015
BACK
Jaume Plensa
On occasion of the 56th International Art Exhibition of la Biennale di Venezia, one of Venice's most celebrated landmarks, the Basilica of San Giorgio Maggiore, will host Together, a major exhibition of new works by Spanish artist Jaume Plensa. The exhibition will run from May 7 through November 22.
For four hundred years the Basilica of San Giorgio Maggiore has been a place of worship, communication and meditation, where Palladio’s profound architecture creates a stilling and contemplative environment. Plensa’s response to this powerful space is Together; a conversation between two sculptures - hand, suspended beneath the cupola in the foreground of the altar, and head, sited in the nave. Placed on the dominant west-east axis of the building, the works set up a line of spiritual and intellectual discourse which evokes emotion and seeks to connect with his viewers on an intuitive level.

Calgary hosts two festivals around this time each winter in order to enliven the downtown core, as well as to echo the wonderful spirit that was generated during the 1988 Winter Olympics held here. More pics to come.

LE SILENCE DE LA PENSÉE is an amazing exhibition by a Spanish artist in a little town in the south of France, almost in Spain. Here I've used one of the gallery attendants in silent thought to add my own touch to his art. Handheld at 1/5th sec not recomended. This piece part of "Continents".
I was leaning on a wall with elbow and head acting as bipod and IS doing the rest..
