Pensacola officials unveiled the Chute Des Cubes art sculpture on Friday at Admiral Mason Park at 200 S. 9th Ave.

Designed by Quebec artist Marc Plamondon, Chute Des Cubes is an aluminum sculpture featuring three stone white cubes balanced to form one monolithic outdoor structure. Strongly influenced by American minimalist art, Plamondon’s playful, abstract sculptures explore positive and negative space. At night the sides of the cubes appear as free-floating diamonds. The Chute Des Cubes sculpture was donated to the city by resident Holly Benson."Pensacola has an impressive collection of public art and particularly of sculptures, and our support of the arts makes us special,” Benson said. Residents and visitors can explore and celebrate Pensacola's collection of public art using the city's story map website artventurepensacola.com.
