"Art house duo hope people will confess to TTC commuters"

















Gradually shifting out of "festival" mode and gearing up for our upcoming video-based intervention in Toronto's subway system (July 2 -15). So far, we've received a pretty warm response from the media on this one.

Here's the first interview to come out from writer Joanna Lavoie of Inside Toronto.

It's installation week on the Danforth!

Our curatorial commission (A Piece of a City) opens this Sunday in Toronto along Danforth Ave East, with 11 installations and roaming  performances.  I encourage you to check out all curatorial zones. The entire festival is a feast.

Here are some gorgeous work-in-progress shots of an installation in our zone called Movement => Balloons by Willy Chyr and Cara Spooner. (Photos by the very talented Andréa de Keijzer.) On display at 1811 Danforth Ave from May 20 - June 10th.
