I 've had a sneak preview of the WADE catalogue (since I wrote for it) and it's gorgeous. Come to the launch on Friday! - Sally
One weekend last summer, the wading pools of Toronto were filled with art. It was the second WADE event, an art and performance project in which downtown pools were transformed into surprising installations by artists and performers.
This summer brings you the first ever catalogue for WADE. In the spirit of WADE as a community event, bigger than the sum of its parts, we have invited audience members from each of the WADE installations to share their responses to the project. The catalogue's 56 pages offer full documentation of the event as well as essays by the curators, Christie Pearson and Sandra Rechico and by Artist/Curator/Writer Sally McKay.
Wade 2006 featured work by Atanas Bozdarov and Tomasz Smereka, Peter Chin Louis Laberge-Côté, Leah Decter and Michael Caines, Sandra Gregson, John Greyson and Margaret Moores, Marcia Huyer, Yam Lau, Hazel Meyer, Tony Stallard, Michele Stanley, Theodor Pelmus and Eugenio Salas, Chrysanne Stathacos, Fabian Winkler and Shannon McMullen, S.U.R.G.E. (Lorraine Oades, Ingrid Bachmann, Ana and Rewakowicz) and Nick Tobier.
Contributers are John Armstrong, Marcus Boon, Diane Borsato, Steve Chodoriwsky, Jon Davies, Hannah Evans, Tara Gonder, Sunny Kerr, Juliet Palmer, Kym Pruesse, Aubrey Reeves, Lisa D. Smith, Tegan Smith, Amy Stewart and Krys Verrall.
The WADE 2006 catalogue was designed by The Office of Gilbert Li.
WADE gratefully acknowledges the support of The Canada Council for the Arts, The Ontario Trillium Foundation, The Ontario Arts Council and The Toronto Arts Council.
The launch will be at YYZ artists Outlet, 401 Richmond Street West, Friday June 29 8-11 pm
