Kristina Lee Podesva: Vehicle Talk
Vehicle: Thinking through the box
Located outside the main entrance to the college, retro-fitted with glass doors and interior fittings, Vehicle will provide a discursive refuge, and house a rotating program of reading rooms curated by the Artist in Residence and invited guests. In collaboration with Langara faculty and students, artworks will be sited in the new library building and its collections, creating a link to Vehicle, and making legible the concepts of spatial fixity, displacement, uprootedness, and circulation as components of the contemporary moment.
