Two NextFab artists are building a boat sculpture at the Vancouver Biennale

Part sculpture, part projection, the Salish Sea Lab tells the story of the original inhabitants of British Columbia.

Two Philadelphia artists are in Vancouver creating a boat sculpture for a large-scale public art exhibit.

Chris Landau and Miguel Horn, who met at makerspace NextFab, are building an art installation that’s part sculpture, part projection. The goal is to tell the story of a group of people indigenous to Squamish, British Columbia.

It’s called the Salish Sea Lab and it’s part of the third Vancouver Biennale.

The pair is raising $3,000 to cover the costs of the project.

Support by June 30

While the team is in Vancouver now, Landau and Horn built many of their Kickstarter rewards — digitally fabricated and hand-printed woodcut prints — at NextFab, according to a blog post from the makerspace.

You might remember Landau from his Buckminster Fuller-inspired 3D mapping projections that were displayed on the University City Science Center. Also, don’t miss him at our Innovation in the Park event, where he’ll speak about his work, on July 17.
