Slated to open in early 2009\, Podes va's work-in-progress will use the shipping containers normally used to tra nsport goods across borders and re-purpose these modular symbols of globali sm as intimate and temporary architecture. Located outside the main entranc e to the college\, retro-fitted with glass doors and interior fittings\, Ve hicle will provide a discursive refuge\, and house a rotating program of re ading rooms curated by Podesva and invited guests. Podesva will collaborate with Langara faculty and students to develop artworks to be sited in the n ew library building and its collections\, creating a link to Vehicle\, and making legible the concepts of spatial fixity\, displacement\, uprootedness \, and circulation as components of the contemporary moment.
