A new public art project along the Millstone River will allow visitors to immerse themselves in the progression and transformation of the river that courses through Bowen Park.
Curtis Grahauer’s art project, called Millstone, is an interactive media project that consists of six films that can be accessed through QR codes found on signs following the path of the river.
According to a release from the City of Nanaimo, the project aims to capture the life of the river and hopes to broaden dialogue about art in Nanaimo, welcome new audiences to film as an art form, and offer the park care and creative attention.

“I am interested in the perception of nature through the lens of human intervention. By making a film that compresses a year of Millstone River’s transformation, I hope to demonstrate what I refer to as the ‘super unnatural,’ to reveal the sometimes subtle influence of humans within the naturalized landscape,” said Grahauer in the release. “As a document of the Millstone River, ‘Millstone’ explores the idea of nature being inextricable from human intervention.”
The artist spent a year documenting the life of the river as it “ebbs and flows, in a constant state of transformation.”
An artist talk with Grahauer discussing the project will be at 2 p.m. on Dec. 2 in the attic of Black Rabbit Kitchen, as part of the Nanaimo Artwalk.
