About	the Gun Sculpture, by Sandra Bromley and Wallis Kendal, as seen this summer in Edmonton. The exhibition consists of a number of elements, the central one being a large installation the size and shape of a prison cell. The walls, ceiling and floor are constructed of deactivated weapons from around the world. A narrow entrance invites you to step inside and be surrounded by the immense power of the weapons, and to feel a loss of freedom. A shaft of light coming through the ceiling represents cease-fire, and the key message of this entire project: hope. When you spend time with The Gun Sculpture your mind is filled with questions. Where did these guns and other weapons come from? What violent situations were they used in? Who and how were the people affected? And what goes through the minds of the people who use them? To put a more personal face on the issue, Bromley and Kendal have created a multi-media component to their project. As you walk through the exhibition space, hidden sensors will trigger simple, understated narratives about individual victims of violence, inviting you to think about the impact these weapons have on society.

Great photograph, Hanna, and very good account of the installation. I wonder how did the artists manage to gather this collection? Any pictures from the inside? Very engaging, well done, Ina.

Sorry, I don't have pics from the inside. The exhibit was in a tent and the light was kindda bad. I don't usually rely on the camera flash, I don't like he yellow tinge and the spotlight. This one was taken on the side close to the entrance, so I managed to get a litle bit of daylight. The inside wasn't very spectacular though.
Most weapons were donated by the police, army, etc.

Interesting shot of this sculpture Hanna,
We are having a real problem with guns in Toronto lately. It's too bad more of them couldn't be included in this sculpture.

Ahhhh.... I see a helmet in there too... protection? And the stories can also be from the other viewpoint: How many lives did this weapon save? How many people did this weapon free? Guns are also used to defend freedom. I totally understand your point, I just thought I would toss in the otherside... just to stir things up a bit. Did I ever tell you I love short hair on women? (and... shhhh.... [come a bit closer] {whispers} you have a misspelled word on your bio... "entretainment")

From Jimmie.... just passing through and doing what I can to help.

The bio mistake was fixed:))) What a shame:) Hope nobody heard.
Thanks for passing by Jim. Always a pleasure to hear from old UF friends.
