Bring your binoculars!
One of the most significant but also discrete sculptures on the Lassonde Art Trail was just installed. "Roman Standard" by the internationally renowned artist can be spotted on the south side of the new Don River mouth. The sculpture features a small bird perching on a pole in Emin's reinterpretation of the Roman standard—an emblem mounted on a staff that once identified a military legion, serving as a rallying point in battle

"Roman Standard" is exhibited on the Art Trail through a special partnership with the Purchased by the Gallery in 2015, the work was previously exhibited inside the gallery in Ottawa. This is the first time the sculpture is exhibited outdoors as part of the Gallery’s National Engagement initiative, in an environment where it will be experienced by visitors to this destination park from across Canada and beyond.

N'oubliez pas vos jumelles!
L’une des sculptures les plus importantes, mais aussi les plus discrètes, du Sentier d’art Lassonde vient d’être installée. « Étendard romain », de l’artiste de renommée internationale Tracey Emin, se trouve du côté sud de la nouvelle embouchure de la rivière Don. La sculpture présente un petit oiseau perché sur un poteau, dans la réinterprétation qu'Emin fait de l’étendard romain — un emblème monté sur une hampe qui identifiait autrefois une légion militaire et servait de point de ralliement au combat.

« Étendard romain » est exposée sur le Sentier d’art grâce à un partenariat spécial avec le Musée des beaux-arts du Canada. Acquise par le Musée en 2015, l’œuvre était auparavant exposée à l’intérieur du musée à Ottawa. C’est la première fois que la sculpture est exposée en plein air dans le cadre de l’initiative de Rayonnement national du Musée, dans un environnement où elle peut être admirée par les visiteurs au parc venus de partout au Canada et d’ailleurs.

Artist Kara Hamilton spent a day last week with who are helping to make the plinths for her forthcoming Lassonde Art Trail sculpture. She is working with rammed earth—a natural wall building material, created by compressing a mix of gravel, sand, and a binder into a form. The busts that will emerge from these plinths were created last spring with support from students at during the Odette Sculpture in Residence program . The busts and plinths will come together soon and form part of the Art Trail's launch season this summer.
