Part of Paradise Lost, Fly Gallery's final exhibition.
This just in from Fly...
After 12 years Fly Gallery is packing it in. Our mandate has been to keep art accessible and contribute to the cultural life of the street. Since 1999 the development of this stretch of Queen St. has changed the dynamic of that culture. One may call this development ‘Gentrification’. Often associated with negative connotations it is a reality of many urban neighbourhoods. Whether the development is a good or bad thing, it is a factor in why Fly is leaving Queen West. Is this Paradise Lost or a new beginning? The spirit of Fly will live on and we have invited artists to say goodbye with us. Paradise Lost June 24 - Aug. 13 Fly Gallery (a window for art) 1172 Queen St. W.

 Installation view of STOP.LOOK.LISTEN, 2011. Harbourfront Centre. Photography: Tom Bilenkey The second installment in my Report From the Academy series is now live at Art Fag City. For this episode I talked with Harbourfront Centre's Patrick Macaulay about the challenges of curating for broad audiences, his relationship with The Power Plant, and how a serious work injury has given him a new sense of curatorial purpose. |
