Southern Steps


Just before breaking for the 7 a.m. news, CBC host Stephen Quinn gave listeners a preview of what to expect "when we come back" -- namely, "a new installation at the Vancouver Art Gallery."

As it turns out, Quinn was not referring to any of the VAG's current curated exhibitions but the momento mori on the gallery's south steps placed their by those who attended residential schools like the Kamloops Indian Residential School, their children and their children's children. 

This installation was described as "semi-permanent." One has to wonder what that means.
