ARTIST TO WATCH | Rodney Graham
Rodney Graham pulls at the threads of cultural and intellectual history through photography, film, music, performance and painting. He presents cyclical narratives that pop with puns and references to literature and philosophy, from Lewis Carroll to Sigmund Freud to Kurt Cobain, with a sense of humour that betrays Graham’s footing in the post-punk scene of late 1970s Vancouver.
A Visionary’s Vision: The Evolution of a Growing Art Program
Our owners and developers, Westbank, have now installed 30 pieces of major public art and the evolution of their art practice has mounted from featuring good local artists, to now working with a dozen of the top artists in the world today. The art projects they do lead the design of the building, rather than follow and they get very involved with the artists. Their plan is to keep adding a number of pieces every year.
