I only dug up this image as a segue into an announcement about a new public art show opening on Toronto’s streets this week, but, gazing at it a little longer, I start to wish we really did have walrus crossing signs here in Portugal Village.<\/p>\n

I guess I’ll leave that one to city council. (A field trip to the zoo to learn about more socially intelligent life forms seems like just what they need right now.) And rather than hitching a ride to the aquatic mammal house, I’ll just keep an eye out for Myself as Chevron<\/em>, a new installation work by York U MFA student Atom Deguire. For this decidedly traffic-identified project, Deguire is planning on planting chevrons (i.e. images of himself) around public spaces. There will also be an indoor component to his installation at MADE, 867 Dundas West. The reception — which will also be indoors, so don’t worry about wearing your black-tie earmuffs — officially happens tonight (Thursday the 8th) from 7 to 9pm at MADE.
