City Of Vancouver Backtracks On Relocation Of 'Iconic' Trans Am Rapture Art Piece

Swift News

The City of Vancouver is backtracking on its plans to relocate a large public art piece at the south end of the Granville Bridge.

The Trans Am Rapture, formerly known as Trans Am Totem, a towering sculpture made of crushed cars and an old-growth cedar trunk, was originally installed near Science World in 2015 as part of the Vancouver Biennale.

The city removed the installation in 2021 due to weathering and a pigeon infestation.It had planned to put the sculpture back up — but now says it won't.
