No one entering Calgary will understand the explanation of what these are suppose to represent. All they will see is rocks supported by rusted steel. If they wanted a gateway, they should have used the one thing the city has any possible title to. Home of the Calgary Stampede. Would make far more sense, for a gateway. Governments should also stop trying to incorporate aboriginals, in every idea or event they have. Since in some cases, they just mess it up.
This is a good example of "modern art." IE, an unremarkable piece of shit that some lazy post-modern hipster produced instead of actual art (van gough, monet, Michelangelo) and he duped a bunch of dumb millennial city counsellors into paying for it. And yes, calgary and all of Alberta is in fact fucked right now, no jobs on the horizon. Perfect time for the cities to stop purchasing junk like this.
I heard someone on TV say that an installation celebrating the Calgary Stampede would be more appropriate. Guess that is too rational for city councillors.
