Today marks 40 years since closing day of Vancouve Today marks 40 years since closing day of Vancouver's Expo 86 World's Fair. Expo is a period in our history that catalyzed a flurry of new ideas and explorations that have had a profound impact on our city's growth, urban identity, cultural landscape, and international stature. 54 participating countries, hundreds of artists, performers, and corporations created a spectacle showcasing innovations in transportation and communications, and left lasting memories for the over 22 million people who visited over the 5-month duration. Tonight, writer and curator Jordan Strom explores some of the incredible superdimensional art and architecture at Expo 86, through the lens of four projects: "The Spectral Image" by Michael Snow, "Highway 86" by SITE / James Wines, C.N. Pavilion by Peter Cardew, and Canada Pavilion's Great Hall.

Many of our cherished modernist architects were in Many of our cherished modernist architects were involved in the conception and design of Expo 86. One such architect was Peter Cardew who took on the Canadian National (C.N.) Pavilion. In essence, Peter flipped the script on the idea of an internalized exhibition. Turned inside-out, the C.N. Pavilion invited passerby and visitors to see and to participate in the animation of the exhibits. To shelter festival-goers and the outdoor exhibits, a steel framework, evocative of 19th century railway terminals, was suspended from a gantry structure and supported by three foundation points. Tomorrow, Jordan Strom explores the superdimensional art and architecture of Expo 86 through the lens of four projects including Peter Cardew's C.N. Pavilion.
