This weekend there are a number of excellent public space related events that are worth checking out.
1. Sorauren Park Summer Festival. Saturday. Spacing is test-running Stories In Toronto, where a number of people share their true tales of life in public space. We will begin our own event in August. Lots of things to do from 1-11pm. More on their website.
2. Art exhibit at King Station. Starts Saturday. For his exhibit Wednesday January 5, 2005, artist Michael Brown collected a total of 69 individual transfers on a 10-hour trip on the TTC that took him to every subway station on the system. Each transfer is accompanied by a pencil sketch of a subway rider at each station. Check it out at the Melinda Street exit.
