The installation was designed in cooperation with members of the Surrey Arts Centre’s Architectural Consulting Team during the Centre’s redevelopment. Alan Storey has become widely known for “site-sensitive” public art projects. He uses new technologies and materials in innovative ways that depend to a great extent on the interactions of people passing by. His exhibition-based work has included a drawing machine that inscribed words as it navigated the walls of Vancouver’s Or Gallery (1984); a small vehicle dragging five pens across a stretched canvas at the Southern Alberta Art Gallery (1989); an early website through which visitors could guide a drawing machine in Indiana (1995); and publicly located works of art using objects like elevator cars, a pendulum, a boardwalk and a bicycle. One of the first recipients of the Artist-in-Residence in Research fellowship (a joint program of Canada Council of the Arts and the National Research Council), Storey is currently working on a number of public art projects including Bellevue’s City Hall, Richmond’s Francis Road Pump Station, North Vancouver’s Capilano Community Centre and is serving as a consultant for the Vancouver General Hospital’s boiler plant project.
