Today I want to share the sculpture Salmones Salari because it is still there. Created by Andreas von Huene for installation in Lowell School Park in 2004, the art has survived more than two decades and will likely last for many more.
In contrast with the celebrated real-life Atlantic Salmon, who might only complete their own full lives in just one year, the two polished granite salmon persist within their pool. The sculpture seems stable, unlike the many exciting temporary artworks I prioritize for posting because they will be gone within a year. Yet this artwork also goes through changes every year.
