Marking by Jillian Holt at Fort Calgary
Location:
Calgary, Alberta
Where the walls of Fort Calgary once
stood is Marking, and interpretive art
exhibit by Jill Anholt as a reflection
of both Calgary’s past, present, and
future. Vertical wood boards carved
in the shape of 12 figures are placed
where the wall once stood are symbolic of the people who have and will
converge on this site. A place which
once did not permit the entry of the
aboriginal population is now open to
all users. At night, red lights light up the
wall representative of the red jackets
worn by the North-West Mounted Police
who first occupied the Fort.
