ART: There are two cool art openings today. The first is StreetSpeaks, a new photo exhibition by May Karp, a 30-year advocate of expression through street art. The exhibit showcases the street art photographed by Karp while travelling through France, Portugal, Miami, New York, Spain, the Canary Islands, and Toronto. Until September 27 (The Moore Gallery at 404-80 Spadina Avenue, 2 p.m., FREE). The second is The Artillerist, an installation by Pixel Immersive Gallery, featuring many artists including Neil Collyer, Derrick Hodgson, Niko Stumpo, and Janis Kun, among others. The show boasts an interactive premise, with visitors using Nintendo Wii controllers aimed at digital canvases in order to output graphics previously created by the show's artists. Each visitor will be able to view their unique composition on the exhibit's Flickr gallery, and will also be able to purchase hi-res prints of their work. Until October 4 (Pixel Immersive Gallery at 156 Augusta Avenue, 7 p.m., $5).

Gallery openings are a common-enough occurrence in Hogtown, so it takes something special for Torontoist to sit up and take notice. Last night the alt-cult Japanophiles at Magic Pony christened their lovely new store and gallery space (just across the street from their old digs at 694 Queen West) with new works by Derrick Hodgson, Toronto’s own graffiti, doodles, and farm-hand influenced artist. His mix of adorable monsters and the horrors of the every day would find a lovely home in our apartment (and cheap too!), but it was the simultaneous launch of his new book, My Mania, that really caught our eye. Published by Magic Pony themselves, the book is as gorgeous as their new space, and the packed-house at the opening seemed to agree with long lines for a chance to meet-and-greet with Hodgson.
