Artsy H2O
When Evian partnered with Christian Lacroix to launch its designer bottle collection in 2007, it brought a whole new meaning to high-end H20.
Tomorrow, artist Darcy Lundgren redefines recycling by bringing back the decorative bottles in his large-scale sculptural piece titled Evian: A collaborative sculptural piece. Inspired by the shape of a water drop, Lundgren created the 10-foot sculpture using empty Christian Lacroix Prêt-à-Porter 2008 Limited Edition bottles he collected from Calgary restaurants. As part of the First Thursdays at Art Central, the exhibit opens tomorrow at DaDe Art and Design Lab.
And since fashion has to stay au courant, water will be served from this year’s Jean Paul Gaultier Evian bottles.
Through March at DaDe Art and Design Lab, Upper level Art Central, 203-100 Seventh Ave. SW, Calgary, 403-815-4886, www.artcentral.ca
