It's hot out there today. If you're in #NorthVan, you can always take a breather in Ray Sargent Park, by Wang Shugang's the Meeting. Picture by @districtlocal. #VanBiennale #YvrArt #vancouverart #yvr (at Ray Sargent Park)

#Squamish, be part of #VanBiennale artist Sumakshi Singh's breath symphony! Today at 1:10PM she will be at Start Up Squamish, and 6:00PM onwards at #QuestU. The artist says, "the intimate breath exhaled by one floats freely on air currents, to be received by another, oblivious of man-made borders; a series of inhales and exhales shared all the way from New Delhi to Vancouver" (at Squamish,BC)

#regram from @vikmuniz who's in #Squamish to start his #VanBiennale project. Isn't #BC beautiful? (at Squamish, BC)

Muniz's latest documentary #ThisisNotaBall explores the relationship between soccer ball, art, science and other fields. Muniz worked with 2 grandiose art projects involving 20,000 soccer balls. A creative man, he is also charitable. Look up #passtheball to see how you can help impoverished communities. Watch the doc with us on Wednesday at Rio Theatre.
