ASSEMBLY REQUIRED PRESENTS
OUT OF THE COLD: EXPLORING CANADIAN DESIGN
THURSDAY, April 10 at 6:30PM
XSPACE 56 Ossington

A panel discussion that explores the idea of Canadian design being more than romanticized notions of the northern landscape, and to examine Canadian material culture and what is being done at home and abroad.

With speakers Rachel Gotlieb, Shaun Moore, Julie Nicholson, and Patty Johnson. Moderated by Todd Falkowsky. Curated by Andrea Chin.


TINARS presents:
Toronto: A City Becoming

The full title of the painting which inspired our magazine title is Homo sapiens, Lepidium sativum and Calliphora vomitoria - a wise man, some cress, and a bluebottle. It is the work of British artist Stuart Pearson Wright.

"At the end of the first sitting, the Prince inspected the work and exclaimed 'godzooks' or 'godzounds', the artist was too alarmed to remember which."
