THE OBSERVATORY

José Luis Torres (Montmagny, PQ)
Runs from August 6, 2010 through to August 21, 2010
As part of Celebration of the Bow 2010

During his residency, José Luis Torres will build THE OBSERVATORY, a temporary network of lookouts in situ near the banks of the river. Participants are invited to discover the landscape, observe the fauna and the flora, to look from a higher vantage point with the lookouts facilitating a connection with the river.
