If you’re from Vancouver or if you’ve visited Vancouver, i’m sure you’ve noticed the art installations all around the city from Vancouver Biennale.
I wanted to share one of the latest additions that i’ve noticed. It’s right here near the Cowie and Fox offices in Yaletown. Just down on Nelson street there’s a “concrete park” where this giant sculptural head rests.
It’s called Eros Bendato Scrippolato and is created by Igor Mitoraj from Poland/Italy.

If there’s one thing I love the most, it’s lounging in a park on a blanket, or spending a few minutes on my lunch break sitting on a bench in the sunshine. Each day I try my best to take a few minutes to have a peaceful moment somewhere away from the daily grind.
I discovered these amazing lawn installations in a park in the Netherlands. It really makes me wish Vancouver had unique things like this.
The playful chairs are designed by Lisette Spee in a collaboration with Tim Van Den Burg the seats are part of a series of lounge chairs made for public spaces in Valkenberg Park in Breda, Netherlands.

I’ve often wondered why lots sit empty for years downtown, with perfect grass that’s always groomed, the sun is always shinning on it, yet there’s one problem, it’s locked up for no one to use!
This is near Yaletown. Why can’t it be filled with benches and tables for all the people that work in Yaletown to gather and eat lunch.
The grass really is greener on the other side.
