A Collection of Foreign Objects will be part of My Secret City Curated by Jessica RoseOur installations will be called: Island Hopping: Paradise in the City. You will be able to find us in and around the Yorkville area.
” If stuck amidst the asphalt and concrete for too long, the average urban dweller will ineveitably talk about escaping the city for a little while. When Torontonians think of escaping, they think of exotic places: a secluded beach, a hiking expedition, a tropical paradise - anything but pavement. For one night, at the intersection where cityscape meets dreamscape, the dreamy qualities of a vacation in paradise are brought to the city streets.”
A Collection of Foreign Objects Participating Artists: Steve Newberry + Rhya Tamasauskas, Jennifer Norman + Hitoko Okada, Aleksandra Rdest + Reiko Shimizu, Daisuke Takeya , Geoff Bland, Pay Katsuyuki, Angus MacPherson
