Spacing Speaks at Fork York launches on Thursday, March 3rd as a new quarterly discussion forum for residents to talk and learn about Toronto at the site of the city’s birthplace – Fort York National Historic Site.
The first Spacing Speaks at Fork York event on March 3 will explore themes from the Spacing winter 2011 issue. The following contributors to the new issue will discuss their work:
• Peter MacCallum: Toronto-based industrial architecture photographer discusses his photo essay “The Tannery”
• Cindy Blazevic: Toronto-based visual artist who captured images of Igor Kenk’s bike bunker before his subsequent arrest
• Rick/Simon: Toronto artist discusses the isolating life on the island in the winter
• moderated by Shawn Micallef, Spacing Senior Editor
These quarterly gatherings will be a fun way for people to explore and talk about the themes in each issue of Spacing Magazine in a setting that’s partially a salon, partially a charrette, but mostly a place where ideas can be discussed and solutions proposed in a convivial, chatty atmosphere with refreshments.
These events will feature either Spacing writers or others involved in the latest magazine issue’s theme. After a short discussion a question will be proposed and those in attendance will break out into smaller groups, draft a quick proposal, and report back to the room. Conclusions and proposals will documented and posted on the Spacing Toronto blog at www.spacingtoronto.ca for further discussion.
