City of VancouverOlympic & Paralympic Public Art

It is with great pleasure that I invite residents and visitors to discover Vancouver’s newly commissioned Olympic and Paralympic public art, which has added yet another unique dimension to our city’s current collection.

Vancouver has long been blessed with a magnificent natural landscape. Now, this collection brings us many steps closer to redefining our built landscape with artworks that are transforming our cultural and physical backdrop.

The sculptures, installations and events in this city-wide collection reflect the spirit and values of Vancouver and the 2010 Winter Games, from their nod to our historical and social fabric to their innovative incorporation of sustainable materials. Bold and vibrant, they have been created by respected established and emerging artists from Vancouver and Canada. We’re also pleased to include in this collection exciting international artists working in contemporary art.

The diversity of Vancouver’s Olympic and Paralympic public art reflects the City’s vision to invest in the creative arts and culture of Vancouver during the next decade. As the world spotlight turns to Vancouver in 2010, I know these works will stand out as highlights of the City’s legacy of the 2010 Winter Games long after the Olympic Flame is extinguished.

Welcome

About the programThe City of Vancouver’s Olympic and Paralympic Public Art Program includes more than 20 new perma-nent and temporary public artworks commissioned for the 2010 Winter Games.

This diverse collection ranges from grand light-based works and sculptural installations at city landmarks to celebratory works in the heart of our communities. One commission, Bright Light, brings together the talent and imaginations of art organizations based in the Downtown Eastside, showcasing the cultural vitality of one of Vancouver’s most dynamic neighbourhoods. The City is also pleased to collaborate with the Vancouver 2010 Cultural Olympiad and the Vancouver Art Gallery on spectacular projects that bring the world to Vancouver, and Vancouver to the world.

For more than two decades, the City’s Public Art Program has invigorated civic spaces and private develop ments. The program aims to foster works of art that express the spirit, values, visions, and poetry of place that collectively define Vancouver.

The Olympic and Paralympic Public Art Program brings public art to new and familiar places. Look for these new commissions in parks, on streets and waterways, and in the skies above.

Aerodynamic Forms in SpaceRodney Graham

Georgia Street entrance to Stanley Park

A major figure in Canadian and international

contemporary art, Vancouver artist Rodney

Graham is well known for his conceptual and

often humourous sculptures. His piece for

the Georgia Street entrance to Stanley Park,

a spectacular 400-hectare evergreen oasis

in the downtown peninsula, plays with the

theme of flight—a whimsical reference to the

location’s nearby seaplanes.

Walk In/Here You AreChristian Kliegel & Cate Rimmer

Vancouver Central Library—North Plaza350 West Georgia Street January – December 2010

Vancouver artist Christian Kliegel’s architecturally-

inspired structure on the Vancouver Central

Library’s north plaza serves as an open-air theatre

for Here You Are, an outdoor exhibition of video,

still and performance works by local artists.

Curated by Cate Rimmer, curator for the Charles

H. Scott Gallery at Emily Carr University of Art and

Design, the installation will feature six different

exhibition programs over the year.

Walk In/Here You Are explores ideas of presentation

and location. It invites visitors to interact with the

installation’s physical components and to use it as

an outdoor social space while viewing works by

both established and emerging Vancouver artists.

Vancouver Central Library—South Plaza350 West Georgia Street

Vancouver artist Ron Terada’s light-based artwork

for the Central Library takes its cue from an era

when signs were seen as grand iconic landmarks.

The work is a reference to Vancouver’s neon past,

when the famous BOW-MAC sign and legendary

Woodward’s W reigned over the city’s skyline. Its

location by the library touches on, in a poetic way,

the use of words and language as boundless and

imaginative—a catalyst for multiple meanings.

BoulevardAdrian Göllner & Pierre Poussin

Cambie Street, from Broadway to King Edward Avenue

Hamilton & Mainland Streets, from Pacific Boulevard to West Georgia Street

As a way of brightening Vancouver’s dark winter

nights, Canadian artists Adrian Göllner and

Pierre Poussin have created three artistic lighting

schemes for the Cambie Street corridor and

Yaletown. Fireworks Boulevard, a series of LED

fireworks down Cambie Street, welcomes visitors

as they travel along one of Vancouver’s busiest

routes. Downtown, people can find their way

between LiveCity Vancouver celebration sites

by following Rain Barrels, a group of cool blue

animated light sequences, and Flames, a set of

flickering candle-like LED lights that bring a touch

of the Olympic Torch outdoors.

Surface is a live documentary of the rich under-

water life of False Creek, transmitted from a camera

mounted under the Aquabus (a small commuter

ferry) to screens located onshore. During the term

of its installation, Vancouver artist Fiona Bowie

hopes to track the health of False Creek’s marine

life as evidence of our collective footprint.

Viewers can also watch the footage live online

Garde-tempsTania Ruiz Gutiérrez

Under the Cambie Street Bridge at West 2nd Avenue (by Olympic Village Canada Line Station)

Paris-based artist Tania Ruiz Gutiérrez’s

imaginative open-space video art installations

and programmed digital works have gained her

worldwide recognition. Garde-temps, her light-

based sculptural work under the Cambie Street

Bridge, traces the geometric abstract forms of

weaving to the fabrication of modern film and

photographic images. Using a camera that

captures heat, movement on the walkway under

the bridge is revealed on a large colourful vase

located beside the pedestrian path.

Ice LightGunda Förster

Vancouver City HallWest 12th Avenue & Cambie Street

German artist Gunda Förster’s inventive light

installations can be found in major cities through-

out Europe. Ice Light, her work for Vancouver

City Hall and her first North American commission,

appears as ice gracing the edges of the heritage

building. Starting at dusk, as City Hall’s tower

clock marks the hour, the lights cascade over the

building’s external edges. In addition to its artistic

qualities, the installation’s use of LED lights will

reduce the power consumption of City Hall’s

exterior lighting by more than 70 per cent.

Sensory Maps of VancouverAnna Ruth

Various bus shelters throughout VancouverJanuary 25 – March 21, 2010

Sensory Maps of Vancouver is a series of drawings

that records the movement of city buses and,

at the same time, reflects the experience of public

transportation in the urban environment. Using

simple drawing tools, Finland-based artist Anna

Ruth let the vibrations of each vehicle dictate the

lines she translated to paper as she rode and

moved from bus to bus during a 24-hour period.

The end result—twenty bus routes, one train

line and one Seabus trip later—is a collection of

enlarged ‘maps’ that are displayed in bus shelter

advertising spaces around Vancouver. The

map legends include details about the bus, the

driver, the stops, times of travel and weather

conditions.

Monument for east VancouverKen Lum

Clark Drive & East 6th Avenue

Vancouver artist Ken Lum’s Monument for East

Vancouver is a large-scale version of a street

image that has circulated in East Vancouver for

decades: a crossword of VAN EAST using the

common “A”. With the entire cross-shaped text

outlined in white LED lights, the installation has

multiple associations, including religion and

irreverence, and is an assertion of eastside identity.

The work is located at the crest of East 6th

Avenue at Clark Drive, where it can be seen from

significant vantage points to the west.

Kingsway LuminairesDavid MacWilliam

Kingsway at Knight Street

Vancouver artist David MacWilliam’s six hand-cast

translucent forms stand as beacons on lamp

standards in the medians on Kingsway near Knight

Street. Inspired by combinations of historical

streetlights, Kingsway Luminaires features LED

lights that slowly change colour, beginning at dusk

and continuing through dawn. The artist’s intent

is to provide nearby residents and commuters

a multi-hued marker as part of their everyday

experience.

The BirdsMyfanwy MacLeod

Southeast False Creek Plaza (Olympic Village)1 Athletes Way

Vancouver artist Myfanwy MacLeod has always

been interested in the ability of art to convey

political and historical meaning. The Birds,

her work for Southeast False Creek Olympic

Plaza, has been shaped by this new community’s

focus on sustainability. The work highlights both

the lighter and graver sides of what can happen

when a non-native species is introduced to

an environment, how the beauty of birds can

sometimes mask their threat to biodiversity.

Watch for The Birds, which will be installed after

the 2010 Winter Games.

A Modest VeilMichael Lin

Vancouver Art Gallery—Georgia Street façade 750 Hornby StreetJanuary 23 – May 2, 2010

Well-known for his transformative site-specific

installations, Taipei-based artist Michael Lin has

been commissioned to create a massive mural for

the Vancouver Art Gallery’s Georgia Street façade.

The mural, which was hand-painted by local

artists, features patterns and exuberant colours

adapted from traditional Taiwanese designs.

The placement of Lin’s work on the Gallery’s

exterior—the first presentation of his work in

Canada—invites visitors to reconsider the building’s

history and neo-classical architecture in a new

light, while acknowledging the city’s diverse

cultural traditions.

Michael Lin: A Modest Veil is organized by the Vancouver Art Gallery and presented with Vancouver 2010 Cultural Olympiad and the City of Vancouver Public Art Program. The exhibition is sponsored by Omega and supported by the Council for Cultural Affairs (Chinese Taipei) in collabora- tion with the Taipei Cultural Center of TECO in New York.
