CALGARY, Alberta, Canada - A sculpture has been removed from in front of a northeast
Calgary recreation centre because it has been deemed dangerous. A sculpture with stainless steel, sound device components, lighting device components has been removed from in front of a northeast Calgary recreation centre because it has been deemed dangerous.
The $559,000 sculpture called Wishing Well was set up in front of the Genesis Centre of Community Wellness two years ago.
The wishing well is
consisted of a mirror polished seed
split open, where visitors can text phone message to sculpture, in the form of
wishes. All wishes gets converted into a light and sound symphony shining out
of the sculpture.However, last spring the sun reflected off the mirror of the sculpture and burned a hole through a visitor's jacket.
Since that time, a fence has been placed around it so people could not walk up to the installation.
City officials moved the piece into storage this week as the artist tries to find a way to fix the problem.
