Big Red O
Some friends of mine, Ryan and Gabriela Opaz, posted this photo on their website a few days ago, and I had to have it. I read the post that went with the photo and found out this sculpture is actually in Madrid.
The sculpture, a collaborative work by Andrés Casillas and Margarita GarcÃa of Mexico, is part of a collection of open-air sculptures from the 20th century at Parque Juan Carlos I near the airport. The park is one of the largest in Europe, home of IFEMA’s international and national fairgrounds, and an all-around great place to go for a relaxing afternoon in the sun. People come to walk, ride their bikes, fly kites, even fish. A water show with music draws a crowd to the auditorium on summer evenings (June to September, Thursday through Sunday, at 22.30).
