Description of work : A gift from Stalin built atop Warsaw center city ruins in the wake of World War II, the Palace of Culture and Science stands 230 meters tall and is visible throughout the city. It was completed in just three years and is a prime example of Socialist Realism, designed for large public gatherings as a place where ideology would be instilled. Soviet architects based the design on Stalinist architecture produced in Moscow during this same period, adding ornamental embellishments inspired by an official tour of nearby Polish cities and countryside. While Soviets thought the building light and airy, Varsovians generally viewed it as a bleak symbol of oppression. Today, “[a]mong the younger generation, the PKiN has shifted from being the most hated building in Poland to become a cult object, now that it is illuminated at night in changing colors and motifs” (Source: Jaeger, Falk. Next 3 Stadia: Warsaw, Bucharest, Kiev. Berlin: Jovis, 2012, p. 40). The building contains rentable office space, three theaters, a multi-room movie theater, as well as the Palace of Youth, the Museum of Technology, and the Council of Warsaw headquarters.

In Prague there is art wherever you go. You can stop by any grocery store and find sculptures. Walk down any street and you are most likely to see a band preforming traditional Czech music on accordions, basses, and saxophones. But there are only two places you can see the sculptures we are talking about today: David Cerny’s Giant Bronze Babies. And no, that is not the real name of the sculptures. It is, however, what they are.
Cerny is a Czech born sculptor and artist with over ten different sculptures located in and around Prague, my favorites being the giant babies which we will be taking about today, and Metamorphosis, which is said to be a self-portrait. To learn more about Metalmorphosis and it’s name click here.
His work is easy recognizable because of it’s offensive yet amusing humor, many people have called his art hooliganism and some states have even gone to the extent of banning his art to be shown. But even though Cerny got so much negativity towards his art, he remained driven and now has a museum dedicated to his unique style of sculpting located in Prague’s Kampa Park just a couple of steps away from the world renowned Charles Bridge.
Outside of his museum, in the green fields looking out onto the 658 year old stone bridge is where you will find some of his most known and talked about sculptures, the giant babies. Tourists come from all around the world to get a photograph of their babies sitting atop the babies backs. We know, it’s strange. The bronze babies are scattered around the side of the museum crawling on all fours. Their faces look as though they have been smushed with a barcode-like mechanical pattern stamped in the middle, which makes them all the more creepy. Read more: www.tresbohemes.com

EX SIBERIAN HUSKY 2016
Corporal Guillaume Lamarche, Royal New Brunswick Regiment (RNBR), preforms a pre-inspection on a LOSV (Land over Snow Vehicle) helmet on 6 Feburary 2016 prior to a trail ride to practice before deploying on an upcoming exercise in Labrador NL.
Soldiers from across Atlantic Canada trained in Grand Falls, NB, from 5-7 February 2016 as part of Exercise SIBERIAN HUSKY 2016 (Ex SH 16). Ex SH 16 is the Arctic Response Company Group (ARCG)’s annual Basic Winter Warfare (BWW) exercise to prepare soldiers from 36 Canadian Brigade Group (36 CBG), 5th Canadian Division (5 Cdn Div), to deploy and operate in some of Canada’s most austere and remote northern locations. Ex SH 16 acts as the precursor to Exercise STALWART GOOSE which will further develop and test the winter survival and warfare abilities of the ARCG in northern Labrador from 5-12 March 2016.
The North is a unique environment and operating conditions vary significantly from those in the South to which the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) is more accustomed. The establishment of four Arctic response Company Groups in the Canadian Army reflects the military component of the Government of Canada Arctic strategy. The annual presence of 5th Canadian Division units in Canada’s North further prepares the Canadian Army (CA) with the inherent skill sets to deploy and successfully achieve tasks in the North that range from domestic assistance of Other Government Departments to responding to a military threat.
