New art project to be officially unveiled on Thursday

By Blair Adams

Our past, present, and future is now on display in downtown Kitchener.

Waterloo Region's most recent public art installation is up at 20 Weber Street, where the old county courthouse was located.

“Past/Present/Future” by artist Ernest Daetwyler will be officially unveiled on Thursday afternoon.

Here's how the piece was described in a news release:

This thought provoking piece has seven spheres, relating to evolution and the passage of time. The project inspires reflection on our common cultural experience and history. The sphere shape stands for community and is associated with the beginning of life; science; microcosms; molecules; the sun and moon; stars and planets. It has an element of surprise and wonder – inviting us to look at the sky and imagine the future.

The region says it's also partnering with the Grand Valley Institution for Women who will landscape the surrounding area with indigenous plants as part of the prison's horticulture program.

The new art was featured as KitchenerToday's good morning photo last week.
