Greetings from the Urban Wilderness

Michael de Courcy, 1977

Greetings from the Urban wilderness, a 20 minute travelogue, is the continuation of my 1976 public art exhibition of the same name. The exhibition took place in the streets of Vancouver. The installation, on city sidewalks and utility poles, including maps, sidewalk information markers, photographs and printed texts, guided urban dwellers along three "nature" trails through the heart of downtown. The exhibition introduced participants to a new and heightened awareness of their everyday world.

Greetings from the Urban Wilderness the travelogue was first aired on Vancouver Community Television Cable 10 on April 9th, 1977
