WAYNE GLOWACKI / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS Waterfall and rain falls Thursday morning. A new public artwork was installed at the Millennium Library this week entitled Waterfall #2 made from outdoor sequins that has the appearance of shimmering water. It was created by Reykjavik-based Danish artist Theresa Himmer and is on the exterior corner wall of the Millennium Library at Smith and Graham. The art work is described in the news release as "Waterfall #2, is a full size, mirrored version of Waterfall #1 that was created in response to the cultural and political realities that led to the economic crash of 2008. Within that context, Waterfall #1 playfully investigated the relationship between natural and artificial landscapes, while reflecting critically on the increasing commodification of Icelandic nature. Waterfall #1 in Reykavik was dismantled in the fall of 2014." August 25 2016
