Extra, Extra: A Gravy Boat in Paper, Toronto’s Skyline in Vinyl

- Clay and Paper Theatre‘s Night of Dread in Dufferin Grove Park on Saturday resulted in some striking visuals. Earlier today we shared photos of the morbid festivities, but wait till you see the finale. Each year, the event’s organizers choose the community’s “greatest fear of the year,” and this year’s was “the fear of selfish leadership.” And so they built a gravy boat with two large Ford heads at the bow, and, as you’ll see in this video, had a Marg Delahunty impersonator chase it around and set it afire.
- The Toronto Public Space Initiative is voicing concern over Fresh restaurant’s application to build a permanent enclosure around its open-air patio at Queen and Crawford streets. TPSI says the enclosure, which occupies part of a public right-of-way, would “remove an important open-air patio from the surrounding community” and approving the plan will encourage other restaurants to do the same. Transportation Services staff have requested that the Toronto-East York Community Council deny the application; the committee will consider it on November 2.
- Artists have represented Toronto’s skyline represented in a wide range of media, but Pavel Sidorenko’s “Toronto” Re Vinyl clock is the first time we’ve seen it in vinyl. The clock is part of a series of circular city skylines by the artist.
