Art Program
2013 Annual Report
Introduction
Public art contributes to the Council Term Goal to
build culturally rich public spaces across Richmond
through a commitment to strong urban design,
investment in public art and place making. Public
art plays an important role in achieving these goals
and advancing the strategic directions set out in the
Richmond Arts Strategy 2012–2017—to strengthen
and support the arts community, broaden the
diversity of arts experiences and opportunities, and
expand public awareness and understanding of the
arts.
The Richmond Public Art Program 2013 Annual
Report presents an impressive level of achievement
in supporting this important goal. In addition to
the nine permanent artworks installed in 2013, the
Program presented an exciting group of performance
and temporary public artworks through the Art in
Unexpected Places program. Many of these works
are documented through video and may be viewed
through the City’s YouTube channel.
Public art installed throughout Richmond in 2013
included four works at civic locations, Rainbow
Caihong Niji, affixed to the traffic safety railing
located on the No. 3 Road median at Aberdeen
Station, Back on Track at the Steveston Tram
Building, Current, incorporated on the façade
of the Alexandra District Energy Utility Building,
and Memento, at the entrance to the Richmond
Recycling Depot. Two private development works
were installed: Tugboat and made in china.
Following the success of the Public Art Program’s
inaugural Richmond PechaKucha Night presented
during Culture Days 2012, Richmond has become
an official PechaKucha City. PechaKucha Night,
now in over 700 cities, was devised in Tokyo in
February 2003 as an event for young designers

Public Art Program 2013 Annual Report
to meet, network, and show their work in public.
These events are informal and fun gatherings
where creative people get together and share
their ideas, works, and thoughts in a simple
presentation format where each presenter shows
20 images, each for 20 seconds and talks about
their work. Four successful PechaKucha events
were held in 2013.Themes explored included the
history of Richmond, identities, new worlds, and
transportation.
Four unusual and varied art projects were
completed in 2013 through the Community Public
Art Program’s Art in Unexpected Places initiative.
Artists were invited to suggest projects emphasizing
unusual or unconventional locations throughout
Richmond. Completed projects included Vivian
Chan’s Cabinet of Curiosities, The Gateway
Theatre’s PodPlay Etienne, Memento, by
Elizabeth Wellburn, and WELCOME: A Mobile
Sculptural Performance by Leah Weinstein.
Additionally, StoreFront: objects of desire, by
artist-in-residence Nicole Dextras, was presented in
partnership with the Lansdowne Shopping Centre.
As several of these projects were performance art,
a permanent record of each event is available for
viewing as a podcast, displayed on the City’s web
site.
Appraisal and Conservator reports were
commissioned by the City in 2012. As a
consequence of these reports, priorities have been
established for the care and maintenance of the
artworks. For 2013, cleaning of Portals to the
Future, Perigeal Raft, The River, Steveston’s
Legacy, Wind, Octopus’s Garden, House of
Roots, Interurban Map, and Span have been
completed. Repairs were made to Water Sky
Garden and Katsura Gate.
For 2013, public art has been installed throughout
the City in new and innovative ways. The inclusion
of the public artwork at City parks, on streets, and
at facilities and with new development and private
sector partners ensures Richmond’s continued
success in strengthening the integration of public
art in social infrastructure and assists in facilitating
strong and safe neighbourhoods.
2013 Public Art Projects
Civic Public Art Program
ICBC and City of Richmond No. 3 Road
Safety Improvement Project
Rainbow Caihong Niji, by Richmond artist Ted
Yadeta, was created to add an artistic element to
the traffic safety railing located on the No. 3 Road
median between Cambie Road and Browngate
Road. Using traffic sign materials and processes,
three hundred painted aluminum panels were
installed between the vertical pickets of the railing
by City Public Works crews. The name Rainbow
Caihong Niji was chosen by the artist to reflect the
community of Richmond, for Caihong is Traditional
Chinese for Rainbow, while Niji is Japanese for
Rainbow. Fully translated into English, the name of
the piece is Rainbow, Rainbow, Rainbow, the title is
reflective of the repetitive nature of the street signs.

Richmond Olympic Oval Precinct Public
Art Plan
Lulu Suite: 17 Films for 17 Islands, Deanne
Achong and Faith Moosang, 2013 is a series of
17films created by reworking 20
th
century archival
films and footage, texts, maps and photographs
that pertain to Richmond and are presented as a
video wall installation on the ground floor of the
Richmond Olympic Oval. Achong and Moosang
exploit the ephemeral quality of analogue film
and audio to draw parallels to the transitory and
imprecise nature of memory and history. In the
transfer from celluloid to data, film grain to pixel,
reel-to-reel to mp3, the original films are reborn
into the 21
st
century. The artists then alter the films,
opening up the visual, auditory and narrative space
for a new telling of the old stories. The title, Lulu
Suite, is both a pun on the name of the actress,
Lulu Sweet, after whom Lulu Island is ostensibly
named, and a nod to the compositional approach
of the artwork.
Lulu Suite: 17 Films for 17 Islands, Achong and Moosang, 2013
Steveston Tram Building
Back on Track, a representation of the Steveston
Interurban Tram Map by artist Mia Weinberg,
was installed on the entrance plaza for the new
Steveston Tram Building. This didactic artwork
highlights the route of the Interurban Tram
through Richmond, from Vancouver to Steveston.
On August10
th
, in conjunction with All Aboard!,
a family friendly all day event showcasing the
Steveston Interurban Tram, an artist talk was held
to inform the public about the creation of the
interurban map artwork.
Back on Track, Mia Weinberg, 2013
Alexandra District Energy Utility Building
Current, by artist Andrea Sirois, is a visual story
which echoes the theme of water as energy. The
artwork is installed on the Alexandra District Energy
Utility Building, Richmond’s first geothermal energy
facility. Photographic images depict water flowing
around the building’s exterior, symbolizing the
geothermal energy that is literally flowing below.

Public Art Program 2013 Annual Report
Community Public Art Program
Six unusual and varied art projects were completed
in 2013 through the Community Public Art
Program, including four projects through the Art
in Unexpected Places initiative where artists were
invited to suggest projects emphasizing unusual or
unconventional locations throughout Richmond.
Four of these works were temporary interactive
projects: Vivian Chan’s Cabinet of Curiosities,
Neworld Theatre’s Etienne, a PodPlay, WELCOME:
A Mobile Sculptural Performance by Leah
Weinstein, and StoreFront: objects of desire,
by Nicole Dextras, a temporary window display
and engaging performance work sponsored by
Lansdowne Shopping Centre. Films documenting
these projects are displayed on the City web
site and a series of postcards were produced to
promote these events. Memento, by Elizabeth
Wellburn, was installed in a permanent location
at the entrance to the Richmond Recycling Depot.
And, Transitions, completed in 2012, displayed
the artworks at the Richmond Cultural Centre for a
special exhibition and opening event.
Chan’s Cabinet of Curiosities, September 23–29,
Atrium, Richmond Cultural Centre. Vivian Chan is a
Vancouver based artist with an interest in creating
works to stage situations and inviting audience
participation and dialogue. Small ceramic objects
made by the artist were on display, but transformed
the every day when visitors were allowed to
exchange their own ceramic object with an object
in the “cabinet”.
Chan’s Cabinet of Curiosities, Vivian Chan, 2013
Etienne, a PodPlay, created by Neworld Theatre
and PTC, completed in late 2013 and showcased
in early 2014 for the performance of Art at the
Gateway Theatre. The PodPlay invites the public to
access an audio file and take an adventurous guided
walk from Richmond Brighouse Canada Line station
to the Gateway Theatre. Along the way, the listener
will receive directions and experience the City of
Richmond in a new light.
Etienne, a PodPlay, created by Neworld Theatre and PTC, 2013
StoreFront: objects of desire, by artist-in-
residence Nicole Dextras, consisted of a temporary
window display in the Lansdowne Shopping Centre
plus four public performances. Garments were
created from fresh and dried plant materials and
displayed in the storefront windows. The Mobile
Garden Dress was animated by an actor who
engaged shoppers in conversations about edible
plants, culminating in a salad making activity with
vegetables and herbs from her dress.

Memento is a new public artwork that has been
installed at the Richmond Recycling Depot. Victoria
based artist Elizabeth Wellburn created six glass-
on-glass mosaics working in collaboration with City
Works Yard staff, Lynh Huynh, Roger Keatley, Ken
Paterson, Tim Hyde and Marty Jameson. The mosaic
elements include slumped and/or tumbled recycled
glass from a range of sources, including glass that

Depot.
Memento, Elizabeth Wellburn, 2013
Transitions is a collaborative art collection of
seventeen digitally printed photographic images.
Some of the photos were taken by clients of
Transitions and the Anne Vogel Clinic. Four of the
photos were created by Tiana Kaczor based on
stories she heard from people during meetings
with the clients and staff. This artwork comprises
the physical images and the year long process of
collaboration between the artist, Tiana, and the
clients and staff of the two Vancouver Coastal
Health clinics. An opening reception was held on
June 7, 2013 at the Richmond Cultural Centre,
where the artwork remained on display for the
month of June 2013. Following the exhibition, the
photographs were returned to their permanent
display at the Transitions and Anne Vogel Clinics.

Tugboat by Sara Graham, was installed in
December 2013. The large bright yellow one-inch
thick aluminum sheet has been water-jet cut to
create a three dimensional image of a tugboat.
It is set adjacent to the East Richmond Dyke Trail,
overlooking the Fraser River and the actual tugboat
river traffic.

made in china, by Nancy Chew and Jacqueline
Metz is featured at the entrance to the Prado
residential tower. Set on each of the five low walls
and facing the walkway is a dragon, traditionally a
benevolent and auspicious symbol. These dragons
recall the magnificent stone and bronze sculptures
of old China, yet a more direct reference is to the
mass-produced ephemera of the modern era.

stillness & motion, was created by Nancy Chew
and Jacqueline Metz for the first phase of the
River Green development, west of the Richmond
Olympic Oval. The three part artwork is comprised
of translucent imagery on the glass facades of the
pedestrian bridge at the terminus of the east-west
promenade within the Village Green development.
City of Richmond 7
Public Art Program 2013 Annual Report
It is a graphic and dynamic artwork through which
you move. This artwork is informed by the local
landscape, by mythologies of landscape, by how
culture interprets the land and how the land shapes
culture. In the end, the work is about landscape and
culture, stillness and motion.
stillness & motion, Nancy Chew and Jacqueline Metz, 2013
Remy, 9388 Cambie Rd
Sponsor: Oris Development Corp.
The first phase of Rookery and Roost by Erick
James, was installed in 2013 over the entrance trellis
and along the fence for the new West Cambie
Children’s Centre at the Remy development. The
metal origami birds celebrate Richmond’s Asian
culture while focusing on its rich biodiversity of
birds. The artwork features the iconic origami
crane, both standing and nesting, mischievous
crows and small song birds perched throughout the
development. In the second phase, larger than life
cranes will flank either side of Stolberg Street at the
entrance from Cambie Street, drawing the eye into
the Alexandra Neighbourhood. Folded metal song
birds, crows and additional cranes sit on fences,
ledges and nestling amongst the landscaping of
Remy and Alexandra Gate (Phase 2), waiting to
surprise and delight passersby. The finished project
will recognize the continued avian occupation of
the developed area, in the form of real birds living
alongside my metal sculptures.
Rookery and Roost, Erick James, 2013
Public Art Plans
The Public Art Plan is the most important first step
in outlining the goals and framework for successful
public artworks for a specific development project
or a community area. For developers planning
to integrate a public artwork with their new
development, a plan is prepared at the earliest
possible stage and submitted for review by City
Public Art and Urban Development staff and the
Public Art Advisory Committee. The plan includes
information on site opportunities, themes, budget,
and method of artist selection.
In 2013, three Public Art Plans contributing a value of
$659,000 to public art projects were submitted and
endorsed by the Public Art Advisory Committee (see
chart below). Implementation of these projects, some
of which are multi-phased, will commence in 2014.
In 2014, there will be continued growth in the private
development program, with the presentation of
Public Art Plans for new developments in the Oval,
Capstan and Brighouse Villages in the City Centre.

Columns Exhibit 7, was installed in December 2013.
The exhibition features works by twelve Emily Carr
University of Art and Design students, selected by
faculty members Diyan Achjadi and Jane Sojin Kim.
The artworks respond to the fleeting nature of travel
and its impact on a sense of place. These works are
all hand-made and involve time-intensive processes.
They present a slowing down of movement, allowing
for a pause to connect with a window to another
community and another individual’s experience.

Summary
Public art animates the built and natural
environment with meaning, contributing to
a vibrant city in which to live and visit. The
Richmond Public Art Program 2013 Annual Report
demonstrates a high level of commitment by both
the City and private developers to quality public art
in Richmond. The Community Public Art Program,
funded by private development contributions has
supported artists to create a variety of new and
innovative projects to engage the community
through art.
Public art has been integral in advancing the
strategic directions set out in the Richmond
Arts Strategy 2012-2017. Artworks placed in
the public realm have the power to engage the
public, celebrate culture, broaden the diversity
of arts experiences and opportunities, serve
as an educational resource to expand public
awareness and understanding of the arts, stimulate
conversations, strengthen and support the arts
community and inspire creativity. The creation
of public art contributes to Placemaking and to
building culturally rich and meaningful public spaces
across Richmond.
