IN COLLABORATION WITH Centre A Gallery
Chinatown, Vancouver | Completed 2008
Showroom is a platform for addressing the relationship between art and public space through the framework of a condominium showroom/construction site. As a collaborative effort undertaken by artists, architects, curators, and the public, the project engages with urgent themes of contemporary culture, spatial practice, and artistic production through an installation, symposium, and series of public forums. Showroom facilitates discussion and analysis between cultural institutions, artists, interdisciplinary groups, and individuals involved in looking at the impact of urban redevelopment in Vancouver and beyond.
