It looks cool now! "modern art" anyone?

officedweller · #**1403** Posted **Oct 11, 2016, 10:08 PM**

I was thinking the same thing!

Who is paying for all of this?

I assume the City of Vancouver?

The north plaza continues to be a big mess. Some visible changes/progress.

And the icing on the cake... a compelling new art installation. More pics here.

Thanks for the pics! If it weren't for the car I would've probably just assumed someone renting a nearby apartment had dumped their furniture after they moved...

They should be careful because in my neighbourhood if you don't clear this stuff right away, people just add their own shit to the dump.

...what people consider art is mind-boggling

What is the estimated date of completion for the north plaza?

Vin · #**1412** Posted **Nov 8, 2016, 7:24 PM**

Conversely, I guess we can also see a lot of "art displays" at many of our back alleys, and even major roads like East Hastings.

BobLoblawsLawBlog · #**1413** Posted **Nov 9, 2016, 1:44 AM**

Why don't they stop construction of the main plaza and call it art.

Save money

scryer · #**1414** Posted **Nov 9, 2016, 8:24 AM**

3 weeks until that statue gets torn down and divided among the homeless.

mcminsen · #**1415** Posted **Nov 9, 2016, 9:23 AM**

Maybe subdude can do something with one of my pictures again.

IMO this will be a nice, spacious, smart-looking plaza when done, not overloaded with gimmicks; reminiscent of of Europe or South America somewhere.
I really wish they had planned to add a touch of evergreen, though. Maybe just two or three Scotch pines at each corner, instead of entirely deciduous, to give it a little "winter life."

nickbeaulieu · #**1418** Posted **Nov 16, 2016, 11:06 PM**

When is the estimated completion date?

To make it more European or South American the plaza needs a statue of a man on a horse...Preferably somebody who locals see as a hero and everybody else as a genocidal maniac...

The steps on the south side seem to be getting closer to completion.
