Calgary Scroll

The 8th Street SW underpass is a permanent reminder of when Canadian Pacific rail yards dominated and shaped the Calgary landscape. The artist thought of this remnant as a scar across Calgary, an embodiment of the city's history. "Calgary Scroll" serves as an archive of these memories by exhibiting various texts relating to the railway, the river, bits of advertising, and fragments of news reports that collectively tell the story of what life was like in Calgary 100 years ago.
