Unit 17 is thrilled to announce its second offsite event as part of Les Jardins: Three Sets by Colleen Brown. Three Sets takes place in Copley Community Orchard and Crows Point Community Garden where the artist has installed new sculptural works around these green spaces in East Vancouver. Each sculpture - or ‘set’ - is positioned amongst a select plant, including Dandelions, Buttercups and Tomatoes. The imagined flora theatres are inspired by significant Classic and Modernist theatre and rock concerts.
