Public Art At New City Annex

'Social Mixer' by Mark Ashby

Public art to be unveiled Wednesday November 27 at 5:45pm in the lobby of the Service and Resource Centre (new city hall annex) 411 Dunsmuir Street.

The piece captures a modern definition of community. It is a kinetic sculpture created by local artist and architect, Mark Ashby, consisting of over 1,000 acrylic mirror pieces. Although subtle, the mirrors will shift due to changes in temperature resulting in a co-mingling of the reflections of visitors viewing the piece. Ashby’s vision is for viewers to see themselves reflected in the artwork creating the fabric of our community of Nanaimo.

A Close up


Note: This piece is made up of over 1,000 acrylic mirror pieces, and both of the people I saw view the piece were compelled to touch the glass. I am realllllyyyy reallllllyyy glad, I don't have to clean it!

    Now the big question - How much did it cost?
