About
Over a two-year period, Towles followed construction crews in Calgary as they repaired water and sewer pipes. He interviewed the workers and combined their stories with images to create a performance that explores the complexities and challenges of spending a career underground. Connecting viewers to the people behind our infrastructure, Stokley showcases the importance and intrigue of our often hidden city systems. Following the performance, join the artist in the gallery space to learn more about his experience within the project.
Surfing Underground is being presented as part of the DYNAMIC ENVIRONMENT exhibition, the culmination of The City of Calgary's WATERSHED+ Dynamic Environment Lab.
