THE MUSEUM OF BOW

After three weeks of research, collecting, construction and installation in the CAMPER, Lewis and Taggart successfully completed THE MUSEUM OF BOW. The artists beautifully and poetically connected the stories, information and items they gathered with the sculptural works displayed inside and outside of the CAMPER. The artists Chloe Lewis and Andrew Taggart were on hand throughout the exhibition portion of the residency to give guided tours in the CAMPER, giving viewers one-on-one information and sharing narratives about the Bow. Here are some pictures of the site-specific installation.

Participant Photos from 'Calgary ArTours'

As part of Cat Schick's piece in 'Calgary ArTours', 2 photo walking tours were held in downtown Calgary on May 8th and 15th, 2010. Following no set route but going wherever the participants chose, the inner city was explored and documented. The aim was to get people to look at the downtown core differently as well as exchange information and experiences. Below are some of the images taken by participants.
