Harbourfront Centre
All Over Town: Visual Arts Summer Exhibitions
June 25 – September 18 Free
By digging deep into the fabric of our city we discover the secrets
and differences that make it truly unique, even to longtime
residents. This group of exhibitions brings attention to Toronto’s
hidden gems from the far reaches of its arts community and
showcases up-and-coming artists. Over 30 Toronto-based artists
present work from craft and design to mixed media installation and
photography.
The Power Plant
Summer 2016 Exhibitions
June 25 – September 5 Free
This summer at The Power Plant, step into interactive worlds
created by contemporary visual artists working with living
sculpture, film, stage-set and performance.
Franz Erhard Walther: Call to Action
Franz Erhard Walther’s first major solo exhibition in Canada brings
together a body of work made between the 1950s and the present
and includes sculptures, drawings and videos. At the core of the
exhibition is an interest in Walther’s radical consideration of the
relationship between the object, the space and the human body.
Ulla von Brandenburg: It Has a Golden Red Sun and
an Elderly Green Moon
Ulla von Brandenburg explores states of unconsciousness and the
boundaries between past and present, reality and illusion, the
sacred and the secular. This exhibition features a new film shot in
the Théâtre des Amandiers, France, and a site-specific installation.
