VANCOUVER -- A statue of a blue boy holding a shark atop a lighthouse-like pedestal is slated to be placed along Vancouver’s waterfront at Stamps Landing at the end of June, unless neighbours have something to do with it.
Condo owners who live on either side of the proposed site told CTV News Vancouver the art piece - called "Boy Holding A Shark" and designed by Chen Wenling - is too big, will obscure their views and will bring more foot and bicycle traffic into an already busy area. Neighbours have launched a petition in hopes of convincing City of Vancouver staff to reject the idea.“I think every installation that we’ve ever put up in the last 20 years has always been called 'ugly,' 'it’s destroying my space,' and 'I don’t want something to take away from the greenness,'" said curator Barrie Mowatt.
A placard describing "Boy Holding A Shark," certainly caught the attention of passers-by, and many said, “I like it.”
Maybe on top of the mountain, like Brazil dose it.
It’s British Canadians that have a cultural genocide against them , they have been wiped out of Vancouver and soon to be Canada , there is very little British or even Canadian once one and the same , about Canada today
Why can't Vancouver consider putting up statues that reflect our city and province- this deserves to be in a art gallery not someplace where you look at the statue instead of our beautiful city
