What: LIFE in the Cemetery, group exhibition of paintings and photography
When: January 18 – February 20
Where: Sidespace Gallery, 1080 St Clair Avenue West
Prospect Cemetery is the largest greenspace in our neighbourhood. It is a stop along the flightway for migratory birds. It is an arboretum where trees mature uncrowded, and expand to their natural shape. Within it are gravestones with slowly fading inscriptions, fading silk and top-heavy plastic flowers inclining toward the grass, a beech grove, stilled artillery and candles fizzled in the rain. Enter its gates, and we are invited to consider life amidst the dead. What here is transitory and what permanent?
