The 39th annual Winnipeg Folk Fest Birds Hill Park, Manitoba
“The blue flag has a story invented by one of my daughters when she was young. It’s about a dog, named Pout Pout, the dog who stinks. He was sad. No one liked him because he smells bad. But one day he found he can blow bubbles out of his tail and everybody likes him since then.” Gérald L.
(The talented young girl originally drew Pout Pout, then Gérald retraced it onto the flag.)
Christel Lanthier and Lindsey Bond team up to present their sculptural work “Musical Gnomon” at The Winnipeg Folk Festival 2012 July 2-8th.
This sculpture is an abstracted sundial and transient musical composition. Upon the Gnomon resides movable music notes creating a play of shadows based on the direction of the sun. The sculpture has been made by hand from recycled metal from Fiola Farms. Anyone can approach the sculpture and play with the notes, moving them back and forth to create unique music shadow compositions.
