More details of @macewanu MacEwan University - (part 2) • Construction on City Centre Campus began in 1991 on the former site of the Canadian National rail yards on the northern fringe of the city's downtown core. The land was donated by CN. The main complex consists of a long grouping of structures stretching from east to west. Between each of these buildings is grouping of four concrete spires which gives the campus its distinctive look. Each of these groupings of towers forms a terminating vista both when viewed from the north or the south, interrupting the streets after which the buildings are named. The project was a joint venture between Barry Johns Architects, Wood O’Neill O’Neill Architects and Wensley Webster Fry Rodrigues Architects with BJ(A)L as Partner in Charge of Design.

Maundy • Clay Ellis • 1992 • welded Steel • @macewanu MacEwan University, northwest corner of 105 Street & 104 Avenue, Edmonton, Alberta. • collection of the Alberta Foundation for the Arts. From the ArtTour YEG website: “With works of art from Churchill Square to the Shaw Convention Centre, Medicine Hat-based Clay Ellis is one of Edmonton’s most notable artists. Although reviews of Ellis’ exhibitions reveal that his artwork is deeply influenced by his experience and visual memories of growing up on a family ranch in Alberta, Maundy was in response to a particular artististic residency. He writes: “A year or so prior to the completion of the sculpture ‘Maundy’ I was invited to attend an artists’ workshop in Botswana. Although access to supplies and equipment was limited, travel was not, and the images of homes and villages set into a vast landscape were more than one could absorb. On one outing I was shown a collection of immense handwoven baskets (used for storing grain), they were of a scale that I had not imagined possible . . .nor could I have imagined that a simple vessel would create such a lasting impression, and redirect my interests in sculpture. While I was never particularly interested in sculpture modeled for the grand or heroic gesture, from that point on, simple objects (vessels, tubs, and basins) would become one of the main sources for [my] inspiration. ‘Maundy’ was one of a series of sculptures influenced by that outing, which was both inspiring and humbling.”(Ellis, 2015) Maundy Thursday refers to the day Jesus washed the feet of his 12 disciples before the Last Supper.” MacEwan University, 105 Street Building, 10700 104 Avenue NW, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
