Artistic Olympic Picks: Vancouver Virtues
Daan Roosegaarde Dune 2006 Installation detail
Though the 2010 Winter Olympics don’t officially begin until this coming February, Vancouver’s cultural landscape is already transforming in anticipation of the games. From the Vancouver Organizing Committee (VANOC)’s series of temporary Cultural Olympiad festivals designed to showcase Canadian arts and popular culture, to the City’s ambitious series of permanent public art installations through the Olympic Public Art Program, the West Coast will be abuzz with artistic interventions throughout the winter. Here, in a special online supplement to the Newsfront section of our winter 2009 print issue, a slideshow of nine images highlights Olympic art projects by Canadian and international artists worth a second look.
