Each Monday, we bring you some of the popular posts from our sister blog, Spacing Montréal. We’ll keep an eye open for topics and discussions that are pertinent to current public space issues in Toronto.
• First up this week is an interview by special guest writer Alexandra Redgrave with the Montréal art collective Action Terroriste Socialement Acceptable about their 10 year anniversary, and their newest project “Change”.
• Recession, recession, recession, recession, recession. Tired of hearing that word yet? Well it doesn’t seem like it’s going to go away any time soon. Jacob Larson’s thoughts on the recession might seem a little familiar to Torontonians since the recent Toronto 2009 Capital Budget’s focus on infrastructure.
• Admittedly, the above photo isn’t from Montréal, but from my native Orangeville, On. After seeing this post on a tree sculpture artist in Griffintown, it immediately brought me back home where several years ago, instead of cutting down some of the big old trees along Broadway (the main drag of Orangeville) that were dying, artists came and carved sculptures such as the one above.
And for your moment of zen: am I the only one who sees this photo and automatically think it’s a metaphor for the Toronto Bike Plan?
