Marker 11, a work by John Zylstra and selected by the Coeur d'Alene Arts Commission for display until September 2020, supposedly comments on coal manufacturing. Each side of the cubed artwork features a frame of a symbol and it's native translation of the word "COAL." The American panel has a red X below "COAL;" it's Russian counterpart features a hammer and sickle. A local activist points to the Soviet symbol as evidence of a global conspiracy toward socialism.
