Canstruction 2015
April 27 – Friday May 8, 2015
Artists at work : Canstruction 2014 : Pendulum Gallery
Can you imagine 10’ tall sculptures made out of canned food? We CAN! This
year’s theme is FACT or FICTION, and teams of Architects, Engineers,
Designers and Students are set to bring 19 giant sculptures to multiple downtown
venues for Canstruction Vancouver 2015. This year, the exhibition is split
between the Pendulum Gallery, the Pacific Centre Rotunda and the Four
Seasons Hotel; all within easy walking distance of each other.
Originally conceived in New York in 1992, Canstruction aims to serve those in
need while uniting the design and building community. Canstruction Vancouver
has contributed over 1.31 million cans of food in the last 13 years with 100% of
cans raised donated to the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society helping to
sustain our community. Now in its 13th year, Canstruction continues to operate
as both as an Art Exhibition and a critical 'food-raiser’, creating a sociallyconscious event that engages both audiences and participants.
