Hide + See is a multi-day public art intervention at SFU鈥檚 Burnaby Campus from March 31 鈥 April 4th.
As a class assignment in the School for the Contemporary Arts鈥 course 1st year students will work with instructors Sabine Bitter, Alex Stursberg and TA Taryn Walker to realize 鈥渁namorphic鈥 public artworks at various locations around the Academic Quadrangle. Anamorphics are 鈥渄rawings in space鈥 鈥 shapes that you can only see from one specific point of view. This exercise intervenes into the everyday routines of how students and SFU鈥檚 community experience the architectural and social environment of the campus and invites passersby to playfully interact with their surroundings and 鈥渟eek鈥 out the hidden artworks. Hide + See offers unexpected perspectives of the campus and engages in the university as a space for communication, interaction, as well as a site of knowledge production.
