Past Exhibitions

Guided Distractions 2.0 (GD2.0) is an exhibition of student work from Daniels

Faculty of Architecture, Landscape and Design. It is a fourth year undergraduate

course led by Sessional Instructor Reza Nik. It was a course in which

experimental and critical thinking was applied to a specific site within Parkdale

with an emphasis on the existing community.

Project GUNK is named for "junk" and for "gomi" a Japanese word for "dust" and "garbage."  This exhibition explores and exposes our wasteful material culture by giving attention to the forgotten or dismissed.  The artists aim to develop an alternative to Toronto's current "continuum" within the landscape of the city.

The Akin X Collision Residency is a partnership with the Collision Gallery and Akin Collective.  As part of a year long studio space rental, selected Akin artists will be immersed within a community of peers and the broader public, with potential opportunities for engagement with a huge number of daily passers by. Studio members were encouraged to develop and expand their individual practices while engaging with the public in new ways.
