Name - Device to Root Out Evil
This piece was first shown at the Venice Biennial in 1997 and is now one of the most recognizable sculptures in the world. An upside-down church, now located in downtown Calgary, reaching 6.7 meters high. A very interesting piece of artwork
There are a few tables and chairs set up near the upside-down church in Calgary Alberta. With plenty to do in this area of downtown, it's nice if you're walking around and want a scenic rest stop
So Calgary is known around the world for its artwork. The good and the bad *cough*the blue ring*cough*
This piece is outstanding and I think Calgary is lucky to have it here as it's a wonderful addition to their already booming art scene.
It would be very easy to miss this little information sign about the Device to Root Out Evil. It's tucked off to the side and is small in size. Keep your eye out for it while visiting the upside-down church in Calgary Alberta
The church is very cool!
