False Front Front, 2008; digital rendering; courtesy of the artist
The Western Front, one of Canada's longest running artist-run arts centres, is located in Vancouver’s Mount Pleasant neighbourhood. In an architectural intervention, artist Reece Terris constructs a temporary false front on top of the centre’s already existing false front. This work is in keeping with the idea of architecture as an expression of perceived wealth and culture, and it emphasizes Vancouver’s long-running upswing in the real-estate market and subsequent boom economy.
