Rhonda Weppler/Trevor Mahovsky with Richard Winchell, includes four original poster artworks that will appear in 10 transit shelters on Commercial Drive, East Hastings and south Victoria Drive from April 11 to June 5, as one of 13 new public art projects commissioned by the City of Vancouver’s Public Art Program for Vancouver 125.

Not the usual wayfinding maps, these playful configurations are made up of objects found by exploring four distinct Vancouver neighbourhoods. While the association of life-sized objects may initially appear arbitrary, closer inspection reveals identifiable buildings and a community map with humorous local references.

Rhonda Weppler and Trevor Mahovsky are University of British Columbia MFA graduates (1998) with numerous solo and group exhibitions including recently at the National Gallery of Canada in It is what it is (2010-11). In 2008, they were celebrated as Emerging Visual Artists at the City of Vancouver Mayor’s Arts Awards. Richard Winchell is a freelance designer based in Vancouver.

Found and Lost (Vancouver) is commissioned by the City of Vancouver Public Art Program with support of Vancouver 125 and the participation of the Government of Canada.
