  • Investigating the Geographies of Community-Based Public Art and Gentrification in Downtown Eastside, Vancouver
    Investigating the Geographies of Community-based Public Art and Gentrification in Downtown Eastside, Vancouver By Teréz Szöke A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Geography Guelph, Ontario, Canada ©Teréz Szoke, September, 2015 ABSTRACT INVESTIGATION THE GEOGRAPHIES OF COMMUNITY-BASED PUBLUC ART AND GENTRIFICATION IN DOWNTOWN EASTSIDE, VANCOUVER Teréz Szöke Advisor: University of Guelph, 2014 Dr. Kate Parizeau Infamous as Canada’s poorest postal code, Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside (DTES) is considered a blank slate fertile for urban redevelopment. In response to this narrative, visually expressive demonstrations and community-based public art (CBPA) actively reclaim urban space for its inhabitants, and boldly resist gentrification. This thesis advances scholarly understandings of the impact of CBPA by exploring artists’ intended impacts of CBPA projects and how they are interpreted in the minds of the public. Through semi-structured interviews and two consecutive circle discussions, I identified three significant social functions of CBPA in the DTES. The 301 surveys completed by passersby at three CBPA sites revealed that CBPA projects act as both a barrier and a conduit for gentrification. Key concepts that emerged throughout this thesis include: therapeutic landscapes and visual democracy. This research seeks to challenge dominant discourses that construct the DTES as a passive community subject to externally-prescribed solutions to local issues. iii Land Acknowledgement It is with honour and gratitude that I acknowledge that this research has taken place on the traditional territories of the Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), selílwitulh (Tsliel-waututh, People of the Inlet), and xʷməθkʷəy̓ əm (Musqueam, People of the River Grass) Nations Figure 1: Indigenous Street Art in the DTES (Photos by Teréz Szöke.

  • Vancouver Public Art: 17 Pieces That Wouldn't Belong Anywhere Else
    iOS app Android app More Log in Create Account July 17, 2015 Vancouver Public Art: 17 Pieces That Wouldn't Belong Anywhere Else The Huffington Post B.C. | By Andree Lau and Rhianna Schmunk Posted: 05/29/2015 6:34 pm EDT Updated: 05/29/2015 6:59 pm EDT From spray­painted giants to a giant poodle, there's no question that Vancouver is home to a colourful collection of public art. It's debatable if the pieces are equally loved, but they certainly are eye­catching. The Guardian's readers certainly think so, anyway. Three Vancouver pieces made it onto the British newspaper's roundup of standout urban art from around the world. The city is in good company, making the list alongside other metropolises like Berlin, Chicago, and Istanbul. You may recognize the Vancouver installations, but perhaps wonder about their origins or symbolism. So, we put together a handy guide to some of our favourites: Granville Island Silos Vancouver Biennale/Roaming­The­Planet Six concrete silos were transformed into six, vibrant giants with spray paint. The artists are Brazilian twin brothers, and this project was their biggest to date. Installed: 2014 Location: Granville Island Artist: OSGEMEOS Trans­Am Totem HuffPost B.C.
