Even Artists Have to Go Outside
For the last couple of weeks the Toronto-loving boys and girls at Spacing magazine have been blogging right here. They tipped us off on the Toronto Environmental Alliance’s Show Lakeside, a group show at Gallery 1313 looking at Toronto’s often ignored beaches.

But seeing how it’s summer we recommend you take the art crawling outside. Barring a garbage strike the Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition should take over Nathan Phillip’s Square this weekend. Be sure to drink plenty of liquids, the show, with its hundreds of artists (including some of this city’s more exciting new artists) is overwhelming and we wouldn’t want any of you to faint from exhaustion.
A garbage strike would only make the work of French art collective Atelier Wundershön Peplum (AWP) more interesting. Until the end of the month the artists will be based at Mercer Union and ‘trolling’ around the city. With activities such as night-time gardening, outdoor art and music interventions and explorations into urban space. The collective seeks to poke and prod at our relationship with the spaces we occupy everyday. Let’s see how they react to a stinking pile of garbage after a heatwave.
