This Week At Art MoCo
by sabine7 / February 5, 2010


This week we took a look at some of the art and installations seen during Toronto Design Week, including a felt display that invited audience participation. See the rest of the week at Art MoCo after the jump.

Like the familiar "take a penny, leave a penny" jars beside cash registers everywhere, Trade is an installation by Kathryn Walter that encourages viewers to play an active role in transforming a pile of felt disks by making a trade.

Annie Tung's clever napkins-as-neckwear also signals the value of provincial flora and fauna and how precarious their survival may be.


week_anderson.jpg
Embroidery for the digital age turns up in a series of cushions by Shana Anderson.


week_jackson.jpg
Lynn Jackson knits up a baby layette in fine copper wire to remind us of the delicate, and sometimes difficult, nature of childhood.


week_dykstra.jpg
Magdolene Dykstra provides us a new take on canopic jars dressed up as women who have seen or felt their fair share of the world. Without limbs, they seem like swimmers who must somehow bounce along the waves.
