An interesting sculpture. Is it purely decorative or does it have a function? I have photographed underground car-park vents that were made into artworks.

There's a building at the University of Toronto, Phil, that has an air vent and a sculpture out front, and one is hard pressed to figure out which is which. Your car park vents seem to have been well thought-out.

I forgot to mention, Phil, that seems to be intended as decoration.

Ah, we have a local sculptor who has made works for some prominent places. I have trouble relating to his work - it appears to be an attempt at being either whimsical without the touch that would enliven the work - Klee gone dull - or just being a form there, like MacLeish's globed fruit, but it doesn't balance or flow. Your art, if it was meant to be art and or air vent, has some color and texture and geometry worth a glance. Can we assume that the clear 'X" is your commentary on it?

The tree behind it does have better form, but mostly in contrast to all those angles. And I won't mention the yellow whateveritis, since I don't know whatitis. or how it fits. But it makes one think.

I just happened to look at Wikipedia, and apparently today (December 18) is the 140th birthday of Paul Klee.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Klee

Actually, Bob, this work reminds me of Lawren Harris:

The yellow whateveritis is a salt bin. Is Minnesota able to get through its winters without rock salt or ice melter? I realize there are such places.

I can see why you were reminded of this Harris, but it lacks some of the Harris fluidity, and of course its attractive color scheme.

And I don't think I've ever seen a public salt container here. I buy something that really works, and claims to be pet and lawn "friendly" on my own for our front walk, and the city spreads something like black, gritty sand once in a while, but no supplies provided on any street, that I can recall.

So I guess there's no rust control industry for cars there.

As usual, I agree with Bob, though if it's an utilitarian thing, it's somewhat interesting (vs. a piece of art.) Color is nice though, especially the touch of yellow thingamajig.

As I mentioned to Bob, it reminds me of Lawren Harris:

The yellow thing is a salt bin. Ubiquitous here in winter.
