Occupy Sculpture Faces Uncertain Future After Eviction

[As reported in the Huffington Post]

On Monday morning, the last remnant of Occupy Calgary was lifted onto the back bed of a truck and moved to an undisclosed location. The Occupy sculpture, "Heart of the Beast," provided the Calgary Occupy protesters with a lasting symbol of hope, but after an eviction from Olympic Plaza last Friday, it was only a matter of time before the sculpture too, was dismissed from the space.

Created by an anonymous artist known only as "D.H.," the nearly ten-foot high sculpture was placed in Olympic Plaza in the middle of the night, hours before bylaw officers moved in to clear the encampment altogether. Now, the city is faced with what to do with the symbolic sculpture.
