Aerodynamic Forms in Space, Steel sculpture at Stanley Park entrance in Vancouver, Canada.

Aerodynamic Forms in Space is a 35 ft (11 m) stainless steel sculpture at the Georgia Street entrance to Stanley Park. It abstractly depicts a blue elastic band, a red propeller turned by the wind, and wheels that move up and down. Wing, fuselage and tail parts are painted to resemble balsa wood, and the base looks like a model-airplane stand with a sticker-like plaque.

Rodney Graham made Aerodynamic Forms in Space as his third permanent sculpture for Vancouver, commissioned through the Olympic and Paralympic Public Art Program for the 2010 Winter Olympics. Construction crews began preparing the site, a former planter, in December 2009, and the work was installed in January 2010. Its title comes from Graham's earlier exhibition of 1977 photographs of misassembled toy glider parts.

The title comes from Graham's 1977 photographic series of the same name, showing toy glider parts he had misassembled. He rearranged pieces from three model airplane sets into the sculpture, aiming for a look recalling Anthony Caro's metal works. The base carries a plaque styled like a sticker, and the red propeller turns in the wind.

The sculpture sits at the Georgia Street entrance of Stanley Park near the Coal Harbour Seawall and is easily reached by multiple public transportation options. The open-air location allows visits at any time without admission restrictions.

The artist employed specific paint techniques to make the metallic components resemble balsa wood, creating an intentional visual paradox. This illusion is subtle yet becomes a defining characteristic of the piece.
