The Ontario College of Art and Design’s two gallery spaces are intelligent by simple virtue of their physical locations. One, the OCAD Student Gallery, is located at street level in a store-front on Dundas Street West. This takes student work, typically contained within the walls of the university, out, around the corner, and right to the public. The OCAD Professional Gallery is the inverse. Housed on the second floor of the school, it brings the work of established artists into academia, and also invites the public into this realm with programming that seeks to engage a broad audience.

It's officially summer! Beer-swillers laze about on patios, hipsters remove their keffiyehs (well almost), and the Power Plant begins its All Summer, All Free program. Launching concurrently is their summer exhibition Not Quite How I Remember It, which features Canadian artists Diane Borsato and Nestor Krüger, as well as international artists Sharon Hayes, Gerard Byrne, and Kelley Walker, among many others. The show aims to navigate the roles memory and history play in our society and dissect how the past reasserts itself in the present. "In treating the past as a work in progress, artists in the exhibition throw light on timely issues of authorship, ownership, identification, influence, and collectivity," says Helena Reckitt, Senior Curator of Programs.
