Published to commemorate the 15th anniversary of Offsitethe Vancouver Art Gallerys outdoor, public art spaceOffsite: The Anthology brings together commentary on twenty-six projects as well as extensive photographic documentation. From the beginning, Offsites mandate recognized the value in site specific, temporary public art projects that consider not only location but the social and cultural implications of the site itself. Over the past fifteen years the Gallery has presented the work of twenty-six artists and collectives in almost every medium imaginable, each presentation radically reconceiving the possibilities of the site and fashioning an entirely new encounter for the public. From O Zhangs monumental photographic installation to Polit-Sheer-Form Offices interactive exercise equipment to Asim Wakifs immersive, sonic architecture and Pedro Reyes anthropomorphic cars with legs, Offsite has delighted, challenged and engaged broad audiences of locals and visitors alike. This anthology marks the first significant publication on these engaging, sitespecific installations.
