Winding along the waterfront parkland of Canada's southernmost urban centre, the Odette Sculpture Park locates itself as a point of physical, political and philosophical intersection. This is modern sculpture on the border. It is a meeting place for expression, an environment where work from Windsor and across the world combines and contrasts. The collection purposely does not conform to any one artistic vision. Instead, the Odette Sculpture Park is unified by its difference and the richness of its multi-textured variety. A visitor on this path is continually presented with the infinite complexity of our shared human experience. We see work from very different places and people: the naturalistic power of Pauta Saila's Dancing Bear meets the confused capitalist of William McElcheran's Business Man on a Horse; the fluid human form of Elisabeth Frink's Flying Men is juxtaposed with the abstracted and weighted geometric shapes of Windsor's own Joseph DeAngelis' Rinterzo. It is a strange balance, a sort of converging divergence that shows so much difference only to suggest that perhaps we are all, in some small way, connected. For general information, please call 311.
