May

The opening night of the Place and Placement Exhibit at the Reimagine Galleria, in the Galleria Mall in Toronto took place on Thursday, May 18th, 2017.  Following a blustery windstorm early in the evening, the skies cleared for a well-attended gathering of artists, friends, family, local residents and even the Ward 18 Toronto city councillor, Ana Bailao. The evening included introductions of the artist’s work, cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, music and a festive atmosphere.  Many thanks to Dyan Marie, the exhibit coordinator that brought the show together and coordinated the details and to all the artists involved in this exhibit.   How we live in Cities Presents:  Place and Placement  May 18 – July 15, 2017 Featured Exhibits West Room: Presence    by David Acheson Middle Gallery: Way Finding    by Catherine Beaudette, Edward Burtynsky, Eldon Garnet, Darren Leu, Heather Nicol, John Dickson, Noel Harding, Time and Desire, Reinhard Reitzenstein East Room: Earth Room Worm Hole     by Natalia Bakaeva and Mark Francis Outside / Overhead: Sun Lights    by Eric Anthony Charron Monitor:  Eden Archive   by Dyan Marie Work Room: Spot Gardens     by Botanicus Art Ensemble, Toronto Seed Library, Tool Exchange and HWLIC  

Place and Placement Exhibition On May 18th, 2017, upcycledXD will be participating in the Place and Placement Exhibition at the Reimagine Galleria located in the Galleria Mall in Toronto, at Dufferin and Dupont Streets.  The Exhibition will feature art works that will inspire and encourage a new series of art and garden corridors (spot gardens) that intend to connect local parks and recreation spaces, emanating from the upcoming re-development of the Galleria Mall site and Wallace-Emerson Community Centre/ Park. Works by notable artists will be featured including David Acheson, Catherine Beaudette, Edward Burtynsky, Eldon Garnet, Darren Leu, Heather Nicol, John Dickson, Noel Harding, Reinhard Reitzenstein, Time and Desire, Interspacial, Dyan Marie and Eric Charron (upcycledXD).  Eric will be installing a series of “Sun Lights” – a variation of the Blue Bottle Bubble series of reclaimed plastic bottle chandeliers that will be solar powered above the gallery and mall entrance. Please follow the link to the event website for full descriptions of the works and biographies of the artists taking part.  Hope to see you there, and stay posted for photos of the opening event! http://civicstudies.ca/place-and-placement/ ______________________________ How We Live In Cities PLACE & PLACEMENT Exhibition, workshops and discussions towards an […]
