Moosehat's Vancouver Moose-ings Part 115
Moose-ing uploaded by Right Antler.
Judging by the amount of pot consumed in the city this little spaceship does actually exist! It's parked on the banks of False Creek and is one of the more curious pieces of Vancouver Public Art. Created by Jerry Pethick is accompanied by a collection of sculptures which tell the Time Top's comic book story (William Ritt and Clarence Gray). Commissioned in 2001 a fuller description can be found here.I understand that one of the benefits of all the condo blocks going up is that the developers have to commission public art as part of their plans. If you look carefully around town you will be amazed at the amount of art that is present. This is a link to a picture showing the installation of the piece. I have to say I rather like it!Originally posted on The Moosehat Blog on November 3rd, 2007
