FLEET: Granville Island

Chain & Forge Plaza, 1425 Anderson St, Vancouver

January 6 - February 3, 2025

Public Artist Talk Thursday, January 30th at 6 PM.

We are excited to welcome Jordan Hill to FLEET: Granville Island for an artist residency as part of the Emerging Indigenous Artist Residency Series! During his visit to FLEET, Jordan will be experimenting with an interactive new-media installation, interrogating the purpose of facade imagery used around urban development projects. Over the course of his residency he will develop sculptural structures equipped with monitors and vinyl that the public will be invited to interact with. Through the FLEET studio on Granville Island, he hopes to further understand and recontextualize our relationship with public spaces and moments that otherwise discourage our critical attention.

Join us on Thursday, January 30th at 6 PM for an artist talk with Jordan Hill at FLEET: Granville Island.

Jordan Hill is a Coast Salish (T’Sou-ke Nation) new media artist from Vancouver Island whose work alludes to the blurred line between fact and fiction within contemporary culture. Hill questions how we navigate a spatially manipulated world where truth is incredibly difficult to locate both physically and virtually. He juxtaposes unexpected ideas and seemingly unrelated locales, uncovering the intersections between urban and rural facades in ways that transform how we think about both. Hill’s work utilizes our relationship with technology and virtual imagery in a way that helps us foster a deeper connection with the world away from it.
