Marble Infrastructure in Vancouver

Marble Infrastructure Project by Cameron Kerr

June 28 - September 12, 2006.

Other Sights for Artists¹ Projects is proud to make public Marble
Infrastructure Project, a series of marble sculptures by Cameron Kerr
inserted into public sites in and around Vancouver's main public library
precinct. Kerr's sculptures are life-size carved marble replicas of concrete
city infrastructure objects such as bicycle racks, curbs, roadside barriers,
and bull nose barriers. By shifting these objects' material from mass
produced concrete forms to highly finished marble sculptures, the
artist aesthetically transforms everyday objects to produce a new experience
and reading of public space.
Sculpture Locations:
Stack, Vancouver Public Library north plaza, 350 West Georgia Street
Bookends, Main Post Office drive-through median, corner of West Georgia and
Hamilton Streets
Highway Barriers, QE Theatre south plaza, West Georgia and Hamilton Streets
Other Sights for Artists¹ Projects is a non-profit society with a mandate to
develop public art projects and activities, secure sites for temporary art
projects in public spaces, build partnerships and collaborations with
like-minded organizations, and encourage interest in and support for public
art. 

Marble Infrastructure Project was co-curated by Patrik Andersson and Barbara
Cole.
