Vancouver School

The AFK Produced Art Show and Documentary

The Vancouver School project took place over a period of four months in the Winter of 2006. It involved the creation of an installation by Douglas Coupland, Anglea Grossmann, Attila Richard Lukacs, Graham Gillmore and Derek Root exploring the culture of school. The artists were given access to the abandoned Lonsdale school in North Vancouver and spent three months researching, appropriating and contructing a most amazing and somewhat "Dadaistic" installation environment.
