Instant Coffee: Nothing Happens in Good Weather
Other Sights is pleased to announce the launch of Nothing Happens in Good Weather, a short-term public art project that activates a narrow empty lot on a busy section of South Fraser Street. With wide stripes and strident colour, what was once a gap in the streetscape has been transformed into an aesthetic and social space. Inspiring the community’s imagination, the space encourages impromptu events, performances, or a place to meet with friends.
Köbberling & Kaltwasser: The Games Are Open
As South East False Creek began its new life as Canada’s largest ‘green’ housing development, the Berlin-based artist team of Folke Köbberling and Martin Kaltwasser used materials recycled from the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games Athletes’ Village to create a situation of exchange and cooperation. On lands slated for future development, the artists created a 6 x 7 x 14m artwork that invited the participation of new neighbours to liberate the discarded, share excess, and contribute to the building of new forms and meanings.
