WATCH: We’re used to seeing old buildings coming down to make way for new ones, and as Gil Tucker shows us, some Calgarians are now using that time of transportation for a temporary installation.

Closed since last fall, the building is soon to be demolished to make way for redevelopment.
The artists are busy transforming the empty space for a temporary exhibit called “Demo Tape.”
They’re salvaging what they find on the site, and re-purposing things like soap tanks and the doors on the wash bays as materials for their art.
The exhibit opens June 19 and runs for 10 days.
