Visual Luminato Events

I am beyond excited to see one of my favorite artists, Geoffrey Farm er's work! His exhibit, Look in my face; my name is Might-have-been; I am also called No-more, Too-late, Farewell, is a "spontaneously generated, never-ending montage sequence, drawing upon tens-of-thousands of discarded images, creating a compelling visual and auditory experience, from Canadian artist GeoffreyFarmer, presented in collaboration with the AGO."-Luminato. Grab your loved-ones hand, grab a blanket and a picnic basket and enjoy an interactive visual collage at Trinity Bellwoods Park from Friday, June 19th, 12pm-Midnight to Sunday, June 28th at 12pm-Midnight.

Check out Art in Transit presented by CIBC. This exhibit will be shown through all TTC platform screens from open to close. Curator Magda Gonzalez-Mora asked 23 artists, each from different countries to showcase their portrayal of Toronto for her series, Stereotypes- The Eyes that Look at Us. "These artists have emphasized the often uninformed, yet sometimes accurate ways in which many perceive our country, and the stereotypes surrounding the Canadian identity," explains Magda.
