One Hundred Days

Friday, August 27th, 2010

One Hundred Days is a bold 100 day long experience inspired by the unique collaboration of graffiti art and innovative cuisine. Using the stripped down dining room and exterior of the restaurant as his canvas, local artist Vince Dumoulin will be enhancing his work over time, making each visit unique.

The ever-changing space will serve as a backdrop to the raw, urban and industrial décor. The talented chefs at One Hundred Days will create a tantalizing menu where urban diner meets Mediterranean cuisine inspired by the art surrounding them. Located in the world renowned OPUS Hotel Vancouver, the pop up restaurant concept reinforces the brand’s reputation of being uniquely stylish and always fresh.

Vancouver Biennale

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

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.

Grass is greener on the other side

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

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.
