The Mondo Spider is a 1500 pound rideable mechanical spider created by a team of artist-engineers who operate out of eatART, an emerging art space dedicated to “Energy Awareness through Art”. eatART is kicking off a new commissioning programme for art projects that “inspire better global citizenship”. The spider will be on view for the May 3rd event at eatART, so come check it out, become a member of eatART, meet and greet, and show your support for Gregor Robertson.

On May 3, 2008 Vancouver Mayoral candidate Gregor Robertson will be at eatART to meet with the arts community and to discuss how he plans to make Vancouver a centre for creative capital.

As MLA for Vancouver Fairview, Gregor has demonstrated commitment to issues of housing affordability, social and environmental sustainability, and support for the creative sector of Vancouver.

Located at Great Northern Way Campus, eatART is an emerging organization devoted to ³energy awareness through art². The organization is home to a three and a half tonne solar-powered tricycle and the 1500 pound robotic Mondo Spider.

Join us on May 3rd to share ideas with the arts community about how Vancouver can develop an economy that goes beyond reliance on natural resources.

Yes, that’s right….fabulous.

eatART is at 555 Great Northern Way on the Great Northern Way Campus. Just east of Main, 2nd avenue becomes Great Northern Way. Go along. At 555, you will notice a sudden abundance of mysterious signage relating to post-secondary institutions, turn left. The hangar, where eatART is located, is on the north-west corner of the site. Go through an unmanned guard booth. Get as near as you can to some train tracks. Hang left.
