LightShed
1199 W Cordova St, Vancouver, BC V6E 4R5, Canada
About
An art sculpture designed in 2004 by Liz Magor. The LightShed is cast from a half-scale studio model of an 1880s freight shed that used to sit at the foot of Carrall Street. The work visibly cites similar buildings that used to exist in proximity, and recalls the upscale neighbourhood’s former working-class culture. At night Lightshed glows, lit from within by a bright lens typically used in lighthouses.
