PARIS HAS A TOWER.
COPENHAGEN A MERMAID.
NOW WE sAVE SOMETHING
TO HARP ABOUT!

Most famous cities have a sight to behold. Now, the City
of North Vaacouver presents two monumental sculptures:
a woman with a harp, entitled "North Shore Rhapsody"
and "Joe Sustemente Trumpet.” These sculptures will be
installed at Rogers Plaza (beside the Keg Restaurant
above Esplanade Avenue) this week. They will play an
imporcant role in "Changing the Face of the City"

of North Vancouver in the near future.

PUTTING "ART IN PUBLIC PLACES."
hustalling the sculptures is one of the final steps in a year
long process . Last May, the North Shore Arts Commission
and the City of North Vancouver released a call for expres-
sions of interests and qualifications from professional
artists in anticipation of choosing a piece of public artwork
for Rogers Plaza. They were looking for a piece of artwork
that would provide a sense of place, a sense of encounter,
a sense of time and a sense of celebration tc the site. There
was an overwhelming response of twenty-three submis-
sions. Richard Wojceichowski won the competition with
his two part submission of harp and trumpet.

‘THE ARTIST AND HIS ART.

Polish born artist, Wojciechowski, is highly regarded in
the European community as a sculptor, muralist, painter,
teacher and conservator of historical monuments. His
original artwork is in national collections of France,
Poland, Germany, Italy and Japan. He and his family
moved to Canada in 1990. Richard prepared for the
Rogers Plaza competition by visiting the proposed site
and imagining what kind of sculpture would best reflect
the history and the future of the City Of North Vancouver.
He relates:

"I found the plaza an interesting space: an
_ intimate gathering place. What a great place
fora musical instrument! It was then I
visualized these compositions. In the centre
of the plaza I saw a woman with a harp
playing a timeless melody with musical
phrases narrating the past and
foretelling the future."

On the balcony of the plaza overlooking the street,

the second sculpture, a fifteen foot trumpet will be
installed. This instrument celebrates the legend of Joe
Bustemente, a one-armed Chilean seaman. He lived on the
North Shore, and played his instrument in foggy weather
to help assist captains in navigating their boats safely into
harbour. Once the trumpet is installed there are plans to
have it eventually play a melody everyday at noon.

DISCOVERY ART WALK.

The harp and trumpet are the City of North Vancouver's
first public artworks in a proposed discovery art walk.
The original plan calls for an installation of public art
from the waterfront up to central Lonsdale, at various
locations, in order to encourage tourism and business.

THE HARP WILL BE INSTALLED AT
ROGERS PLAZA ON APRIL 22ND, AND THE
TRUMPET ON APRIL 24TH. AN OFFICIAL
UNVEILING IS PLANNED FOR MAY 23RD
AT 11:30 AM.
