Endlessly Traversed Landscapes is a public poster project curated by Natalie Doonan, featuring works by Canadian artists placed in various locations throughout Vancouver. Appropriating advertising spaces such as billboards and bus shelters, these images enter into a dialogue with their surroundings. Billboards are highly contested and competitive zones, displaying the drama of shifting social relations, and bus shelters are transitory sites – outposts that speak to the movement of people through a brief moment in time. Surprising and arresting, these images draw attention to the myriad functions of public space.
See Yukoners, Hannah Jickling and Valerie Salez billboard installations of their snow shoveling performances on transit shelter faces.
