'LightShed' by Liz Magor

The artwork is located on the downtown seawall near the Coal Harbour Community Centre and facing Stanley Park. It is based on the old boat sheds that used to line the shoreline. The artist cast a ½ scale model in aluminum and coated it with luminescent paint. It is perched on top of cast pilings. At night a soft glow emanates from inside.

Grosvenor, an international property group, commissioned this work by Liz Magor as a gift to the city. The artwork was cast in the Harman Foundry in Robert's Creek operated by Stephen Harmon, son of artist Jack Harman.
