Some cities are inviting because they have a unique relationship to nature, and offer a chance to be close to natural wonders that are hard to find anywhere else. Some are known for their distinctive urban centers, defining the contemporary city for the rest of the world. Still others are magnetic fields for artists and intellectuals, drawn to create new works in a community that is open to new ideas. Put together all of these, and one will discover Vancouver. Hotels here are known for their cosmopolitan sensibility, and they offer the chance to see a city that is on the rise.
With artists like Antonia Hirsch living and working here, it’s apparent that this is a place to test out new ideas and develop a strong body of work. Her conceptual constructions that reflect on the nature of time and systems of measurement are capable of moving the viewer into other arenas of thought.
Seeing art here is a lovely way to make a trip into a full experience. Restaurants and hotels are certainly part of the charm and allure, and the arts and culture make up another part. At some moments, reflections on the way people perceive in lens-based work can bring these together, and speak of a city that is many things at once, and still hard to define.
