T+T False Creek – Book Publication

Posted by on Mar 11, 2012 in Publications | No Comments

The work of T&T (Tony Romano and Tyler Brett) reflects on ideas of sus­tain­abil­ity, green archi­tec­ture and tech­no­log­i­cal progress. Their art­works fre­quently include ele­ments of nat­ural sys­tems such as solar power and organic fil­ters in con­junc­tion with recy­cled and recon­fig­ured tech­nol­ogy. Over the course of their diverse artis­tic prac­tice, they have devel­oped a survivalist-informed aes­thetic, cre­at­ing whim­si­cal, yet crit­i­cally con­sid­ered art­works that pro­vide astute com­men­tary on our his­tor­i­cal moment.

T & T: False Creek

False Creek was com­mis­sioned by the Pen­du­lum Gallery to coin­cide with the 2010 Olympic and Par­a­lympic Win­ter Games and is a par­tic­i­pat­ing exhi­bi­tion in Other Sight’s three part series When the Hosts Come Home. Installed in HSBC’s main office build­ing in down­town Van­cou­ver, False Creek com­prises three sculp­tural assem­blages, a panoramic print and a children’s colour­ing cen­tre. Designed by Cana­dian artists T&T (Tyler Brett and Tony Romano), the exhi­bi­tion tem­porar­ily trans­forms the cor­po­rate envi­ron­ment of a bank and pub­lic atrium into an opti­mistic post-apocalyptic environment.
