Neighbours is a series of twenty posters displayed at various transit shelters throughout the City of Vancouver. Incorporating drawn images of birds of different species gathered together into one flock as notional surrogates for the varied population of peoples that make up the city, this assemblage of birds will be made up of a diverse polyglot group. Not unlike the "impossible bouquet" - a concept that emerged in Dutch still life painting in the 17th century, which was an artificial fantasy of flowers that could never bloom naturally in the same season and geographic region - the birds depicted at once mirror the cultural identities of the inhabitants of this city of Vancouver from different parts of the world while speaking to the democratic nature of the public transit system which brings together people from all walks of life. Produced by the Contemporary Art Gallery in partnership with the City of Vancouver Public Art Program.
