Mehmet Ali Uysal in the Park Chaudfontaine (Belgium). ‘The sculpture is part of the interaction between the nip of the upper layer of the lawn and lifting it by a clothespin to six meters high. The artist plays with scale and proportions: we travel the universe in Gulliver’s better to remind us that we walk on skin that is called planet Earth.’

I just love this concept.
Handstands In Europe by Nathan Hemming.
Then this one caught my eye.
That is at Schurenbachalde in Essen, Germany, and is a sculpture by Richard Serra called Bramme for the Ruhr-District, 1989. Serra’s work, while often monumental and commemorative and even radical, is usually funded by local steel industries. Located in the Ruhr Valley it sits in one of the largest and most ambitious land reclamation sites on the planet known as the EmscherPark project. This gave the world the fabulous Landschaftpark.
And then I found this kite camera site by Manfred.

And thanks to Pruned for posting the handstands.

Title of this sculpture of a very large table and chair in Hampstead Heath, London.
Now that would look real good in the middle of some abandoned rail yard.

Noticed last week that snow is being dumped in the west end of Turcot Yards and there is also this article in the Gazette to confirm.
“The Côte des Neiges/Notre Dame de Grâce borough made a deal with the Quebec Transport and Environment departments to use the Turcot Yards as an emergency snow dump, but only until Jan. 11.”
Why not all winter? I have noticed that there is excellent drainage at Turcot (well, it was a railyard) and although I suppose large snow mountains could be considered dangerous in themselves, they sure have the opportunity to spread it out at Turcot. Cross country, anyone?

Visited the National Gallery in Ottawa yesterday to see the Renoir exhibit which was great but I just couldn’t get it out of my head how cool it would be to have a copy of Maman hanging out at Turcot Yards, somewhere under the interchange, maybe a whole family of ‘em……
Photo from here.
Maman was created by the remakable and ageless Louise Bourgeois
