Open Studio at Gibraltar Point for 100th and 10th Anniversary Party


 

AGP Postcard 2 One Page

I’ll be holding an open studio on Friday September 25 (6-10PM) and Saturday September 26 (12-5PM) for the 100th and 1oth anniversary events at Artscape Gibraltar Point Arts Centre here on the Toronto Island where I’ve been camped out making art for September. Friday night promises to be a magical evening, with the Shadowland Puppet folks leading a procession from the Centre Island ferry to Gibraltar Point at 5:30PM. For all the details, check out Artscape’s site.  

I’ll be showing the in-process version of Respire, which will be installed shortly after at Nuit Blanche, October 3, 2009 here in Toronto! Come listen to the little radios breathing in the dark…. I’m in the portables out back of the Arts Centre at Gibraltar Point, so come on by and say hello!

Here’s a shot of radios hanging in my little studio:

I’m renting a studio at the Gibraltar Point Arts Centre on the Toronto Island for the month of September, where I’m preparing for a couple of upcoming Toronto installations: Respire at Nuit Blanche (October 3, 2009), and Domestic Wireless, Dust (as part of the Leona Drive Project, October 22-31, 2009). Glorious weather plus water and wind and  trees equals bliss! But little did I know that there are a series of AM radio transmitter towers down here. The business of broadcast never stops…..

…. and perhaps I ought to slap a warning on my little work shack out here:
