#22 Performance Art? 7a*11d Is The Place To Be

Just wanted to let everyone know about 7a*11d (7 across 11 down) festival, which is starting next Tuesday October 23rd. It is the International Festival of Performance Art. This is actually my first time finding about the festival, and I've decided to attend it.

#21 My experience at Nuit Blanche

Nuit Blanche is one of Toronto's major art event. The first Nuit Blanche began in Paris in 2002, as an all night contemporary art scene. It spread around the world, and four years after its birth in Paris, Toronto started its own. In fact, Toronto was the first North American city to fully reproduce the Paris prototype. Since 2006, Toronto attracts people from all over Canada and even gathers international crowds or so I hear.

#19 Follow the Ice Cream Truck for Miss Canadiana!

I was at Liss Gallery last Saturday for its grand opening party for the artist Brannan Robinson. Miss Canadiana was invited to attend its opening ceremony.

A black limo pulled up beside the gallery, and there she was, Miss Canadiana in her red dress, wearing the ribbon sash made by Camal Pirbhai.

#14 The Group of Seven vs. Group of Fashionality Artists

If you grew up in Canada, you are probably familiar with the Group of Seven. Maybe you can't name the seven members, but you might recall a couple from the group.

#12 The Group of Artist of Fashionality

It's almost August - which means that there is about a month left to catch the Fashtionality exhibition at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection! Make sure you see the show before it's over because the McMichael gallery not very often does shows as contemporary as this, and it is quite big and there's a lot to see. Based on the works of contemporary Canadian artists, the exhibition explores the use of clothing and fashion as means to reveal the artists' concerns, identities and personal visions. The show is very well put-together by a renowned Canadian curator Julia Pine. If you have been following my blog, you probably know that Camal Pirbhai of Studio La Beaute has two of his pieces on display at the show. They are located right in the centre of the main room, so you won't miss them. Make sure you go see it before it's over.
