18 Pairs of Blue and White Running Shoes

18 Pairs of Blue and White Running Shoes is a public art installation located in Vancouver, Canada, commissioned for a residential development by Washington Properties. Created by artist Gathie Falk, the bronze sculptures of running shoes reflect her keen observations of everyday objects and her exploration of gender, ritual, and status through clothing elements.

This unique artwork, consisting of a row of bronze shoes cast from ceramic originals, is part of a series of public artworks at the site, showcasing Falk's dedication to repetition and attention to detail. The installation adds a touch of artistic flair to the pedestrian mews between buildings on Cambie Street, offering a glimpse into the artist's six-decade-long practice of creating thought-provoking pieces inspired by the mundane.
