The Loose Affiliates presents Picnurbia
Opening Reception: Friday, Aug 11, 5-8pm
Location: Robson St between Howe and Hornby. BYO-Picnic!
Picnurbia. The Yellow Picnic Wave.
In the summer, Vancouverites leave their neighbourhoods and head to the beach, thereby inhabiting the edge of the city. PICNURBIA suggests an alternative to this exodus, creating an inland zone for people to gather and picnic in the heart of downtown.
At PICNURBIA, the summer act of picnicking is heightened by an 眉ber鈥損icnic-blanket. This undulating landscape provides spaces for people to hang out and play in alternative formations, providing a new experience of urban picnicking.
PICNURBIA offers space for people to come together, relax and watch. Inserted into the urban downtown neighbourhood, a community where people already live, work and visit, the site is intended to become an easily inhabited summer zone, where people may gather to enjoy the long summer days. PICNURBIA is designed to offer an 鈥榦n-the-block鈥� amenity where people can drop by on purpose or stumble upon more informally as they walk or bike home. This will establish PICNURBIA as a summer node, carried on mouth-to-mouth, 鈥�Let鈥檚 meet at PICNURBIA鈥�
Picnurbia is realised in collaboration with and is supported by , suppliers of PICNURBIA's vibrant yellow turf.
