"NEXT: LWPAC"
2003-04-14 until 2003-09-28
Vancouver Art Gallery
Vancouver, BC, CA Canada

LWPAC (Lang Wilson Practice in Architecture Culture) have developed a design for a new exhibition space that is able to accommodate a wide variety of new media artworks. This unique space is distinguishable from the architecture that defines the other galleries and functions both as a new context for the presentation of contemporary art and as an independent installation.

This project demonstrates the Vancouver Art Gallery’s commitment not only to presenting new art but also to presenting new ideas in exhibition display and architecture.

Oliver Lang is a professor in the School of Architecture at the University of British Columbia and is a partner in LWPAC. He has worked widely in the field of experimental design and produced gallery projects in New York and Berlin.  NEXT: LWPAC was commissioned by the Vancouver Art Gallery and is the second installation in a new series titled NEXT: a series on emerging artists from the Pacific Rim. The NEXT space is a laboratory for new art and ideas in a wide array of media.
