Douglas Coupland pops up in Gastown: West Vancouver writer, artist and designer’s new line for Roots is on display on Powell Street until the end of the month
Doug Coupland seems to be popping up everywhere. He’s part of a new show of modern artists reimagining Emily Carr at the Vancouver Art Gallery. He recently unveiled a very cool sculpture, Digital Orca, just west of the new convention centre. He was even invited to the Los Angeles premiere of the new Twilight movie, Eclipse.
“That was a blast,” he recounted from a taxi in Toronto on Friday afternoon.
“It was 6,000 people at Nokia Theatre, and 2,000 of them were teenage girls who won tickets on radio contests. Any time there was a kiss all the girls would scream. It was very Frankie Goes to Hollywood, it was really cool.”
Next up: Doug Coupland’s own “pop-up” Roots store.
