WordFest presents Art Installations
Building on the success of Word Projects in 2011, WordFest brings a new series of free, art installation projects to the city during the 17th annual Festival that runs October 9-14, 2012 in Calgary and Banff.
Together these projects take the audience on an eclectic tour of the various elements that make up literature, from the beauty of carefully typeset letters that hold together a single sentence, to the plot twists and poetic devices that guide a narrative from beginning to end. Whether visual or audio, each project unpacks and reinvents notions of form and content to interrupt the unsuspecting audience with the power of words and story.
