Wonderland Sculpture, Calgary.
An art installation by one of the world’s foremost sculptures now graces the plaza outside The Bow building and is creating quite a stir among those who pass by.
The 12 metre tall, bent-wire head of a young girl called “Wonderland” was created by Spanish sculptor Jaume Plensa and was commissioned by Encana in a joint program with Cenovus.
“We put together a panel of eight participants, representatives from the city, from the local arts community, from Encana and Cenovus, from the tenants, and we launched into a search for an artist that could create something of real interesting and lasting value in front of The Bow,” said Craig Reardon, VP of Administration for Encana.
