ABOUT THE ARTIST
Vancouver is a city consumed with urban planning, transit and the rebirth of cycling. Michel de Broin’s Deviations, a fanciful bike route coming off a popular bike path in Charleson Park, occurs within this setting. The “squiggly” path winds in on itself in an invitation to cyclists and passersby to amuse themselves with the impossible task of “following the path.” The emphasis on chance and unpredictability inspires and opens up new avenues for imagination and mobility. Deviations invites you to re-IMAGE-n bike lanes as an “artful” transformation of public space.
