OCAD’s Reading Club

Posted on January 16, 2012 by admin

OCAD U’s Dorothy H. Hoover library is launching a reading club. This is not the kind of book club where everyone reads the same best seller and gets together to debate its merits – instead, reading clubbers will help create a themed display in the library and will then get together to discuss that month’s subject with friends and fellow students. Materials include books, graphic novels, artwork, articles and the display itself. Continue reading →

The Toronto Now Series presents…

Posted on January 16, 2012 by admin

Relocated from the street, local Toronto artists Sean Martindale and Pascal Paquette come together in the gallery for a collaborative installation in the Toronto Now Series. Using convergent forms of street art, graffiti writing and activist interventions combined with contemporary painting, sculpture and design these artists eradicate traditional art classifications and work to expand the understanding of what artistic creativity can be. Taking inspiration from their daily environment, the gallery and the current socio-political and cultural climate of Toronto, this installation invites audiences to reconsider Toronto Now.

Opening Reception: Friday January 20, 2012 from 7pm to 9pm
Exhibition from: January 21 – April 1, 2012
