I’ve just spent the last month in Philadelphia researching various sites of radical architecture for my residency in NY next year and I now find myself for the first time in Vancouver, BC – at the Burrard Marina Field House residency through Vancouver’s CAG (http://www.contemporaryartgallery.ca/).

I’m spending my visit here trying to get an introduction to the city through aspects of local food and spatial politics. It’s only been a day and with great hosts to introduce me to this place it is quickly revealing itself as a city with complex issues in regard to food, space and place.
