Oversized Sweater


JANUARY 13TH, 2011

Oversized Sweater

Polarfleece is big in Vancouver, but it’s never been this big.

Literally—eighteen times human scale, measuring 26.5 metres sleeve to sleeve and made of 3,150 recycled pop bottles, the art-chitectural installation SweaterLodge is fit for King Kong. For the first time since its showing at the 2006 Venice Biennale of Architecture it will be displayed in Canada at the Museum of Vancouver.

And we're keeping an eye out for giant mittens, too.
