Sadly, a Javier Marin sculpture in Vancouver has been senselessly vandalized recently. Shame on those thimblebrains! The artwork was the Cabeza Vainilla, Cordoba and Chiapas by Mexican figurative artist Javier Marin. Three large stylized human heads made of tough polyresin in various juxtapositions made up the installation, located under the Canada Line just north of the Lansdowne station. Hopefully the guilty parties may be caught on surveillance tapes. That is not what Vancouverites want to be remembered for at all and we wish for a successful repair and resolution to this unfortunate incident.
