EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Giacometti in Calgary: A Surreal Encounter with Modern Sculpture, 1985". This evocative photograph captures a unique moment in Calgary's history when the modernist sculptures of Swiss artist Alberto Giacometti seemed to have magically appeared in the foreground of a typical urban block. Taken in 1985, this image offers a captivating juxtaposition of the mundane and the extraordinary. The photograph features a row of apartment buildings, their uniformity emphasized by the monochromatic palette and the linear quality of the architecture. The calm, orderly arrangement of the blocks is disrupted by the presence of Giacometti's sculptures, which appear as if they have been transported from the galleries of Europe and placed in the urban landscape. The sculptures, with their elongated, slender forms and abstracted human figures, add a sense of depth and dimension to the scene. Their organic shapes and textures contrast sharply with the rigid, geometric lines of the buildings, creating a surreal and intriguing tableau. The photograph invites viewers to ponder the relationship between art and the urban environment, and the role of public art in transforming the everyday into the extraordinary. It also serves as a testament to the enduring influence of Giacometti's work, which continues to inspire and challenge audiences around the world. This photograph, taken in 1985 in Calgary, Canada, offers a glimpse into a moment when the ordinary was transformed by the extraordinary presence of Giacometti's sculptures. It is a reminder of the power of art to transport us beyond the confines of our daily lives and to open our minds to new possibilities.
