Welcome to the Vancouver Biennale video page!
These videos reflect the Biennale's innovating and seminal exposure of Vancouver. The Biennale aims to create an open-air museum that merges the natural beauty of our landscape and our love of the outdoor recreation with a world-class cultural experience, all contributing to our designation as one of the most liveable cities in the world.Creating "Loco-Foco-Motto"
May, 2010 - Aberdeen Centre, Richmond
Indian artist, Hema Upadhyay created 6 matchstick chandeliers at the Aberdeen Centre over a period of 3 weeks with the help of local volunteers. It took 750,000 matchsticks to make the art work and the chandeliers are currently on display at the Aberdeen Centre. Listen to Hema discuss the process of making these spectacular pieces and where the idea for this installation came from.

How do you pronounce "Biennale"?
November, 2010 - Denman and Davie, Vancouver
Erin Ireland engages Vancouver public art fans at the installation of Yue Minjun's "A-Maze-Ing Laughter" near English Bay. As people wander among the sculpture by the famous Chinese artist, Erin asks them to help her pronounce the word "Biennale". This is a fun and humorous way to learn something new about the Vancouver Biennale. Thanks, Erin for doing such a great job. This is so much fun.
