Platforms 2020: Public Works
Description of work

Platforms 2020: Public Works is a monthly series of temporary public art projects that presented from June 2020 until the end of December 2020.

These artworks were selected through an open call inviting Vancouver-based artists to share projects that they have been working on that respond to the circumstances of living during a pandemic and critical time of change.

The public art program was launched on transit shelters, billboards, and video screens throughout the city.

Artist statement

Cobwebs Scraped from the Guts of My Summer Vacation presented on twenty transit shelter posters throughout the city from July 6 to August 2, 2020. 

Cobwebs Scraped from the Guts of My Summer Vacation is a reproduction of an oil painting by Kenna presenting an arrangement of objects and oddities that could be found in a domestic living space such as a living room, bedroom, study, or garage. Their presentation elicits a narrative around a fictional person, which takes on new meaning during the pandemic as we reflect on what we choose to surround ourselves in our own homes.
