ARTWORK OF THE WEEK
Fish Cleaning Table, 2012
Maya Lin
Along the Columbia River, artist Maya Lin has created a functioning fish-cleaning table from a block of native basalt, replacing the previous table on site. Positioned just near the boat launch, where people return with their catch, the table is perched at the end of a platform extending out over the water. People fishing use it almost non-stop in season.

This visual blog presents images and projects related to the WATERSHED+ art program.
WATERSHED+ is a public art program hosted by City of Calgary's department of Utilities and Environment Protection.
WATERSHED+ aims to develop awareness and pleasure in the environment, not by changing water management practice, nor developing a uniform visual language, but rather by creating a climate of opportunity for water initiatives to build an emotional connection between people and the watershed.
WATERSHED+ presents a unique approach to public art by embedding artists and artistic practices within UEP core activities, participating as members on infrastructure design teams, contributing to project design, development of events, community education, etc.
You can visit us at:

This program was devised by Sans façon (Charles Blanc & Tristan Surtees) with a team composed of Matt Baker, Emlyn Firth, Yan Olivares of Yes Architectes, Eric Laurier and Bert van Duin.
