Temporary public art installation questionnaire to Vancouver residents (2014)
It will have a POSITIVE impact
People will still use the parks as they always do
It will have a NEGATIVE impact
Unsure/don’t know
Impact of art installations at proposed park or site
“My dream is that the young generation in the next years will be so exposed to public art and cultural activities around their communities that they expect that and they demand that to your politicians and they want more of that. But if you don’t know it you won’t ask for it. …The Vancouver Biennale’s mission is really about education.”
