Unexpected encounters with art will take you by surprise, let you see the invisible and challenge your notion of inside and outside space.
Linked to a theme of contemporary communications that runs through this year’s Festival, these eye-opening installations by internationally exhibited artists will transform your perceptions of Toronto’s downtown core.
At the Allen Lambert Galleria, Brookfield Place, is long wave, a new commission from Toronto’s David Rokeby. Extending north along Bay Street is Binary Waves, an interactive piece by Belgian group LAb[au] that responds to urban presence and the unseen electromagnetic communications signals all around us. And at the Exchange Tower, you’ll discover Broken Arrow, an exciting new work by Canada’s Germaine Koh in collaboration with Ian verchere.
Also, visit Sam Pollock Square at Brookfield Place every day to check out the Luminato Box: a temporary experimental gallery where 10 artists each have a day to present their latest work. (To see the daily schedule, visit luminato.com.)
Meet the artists at a panel discussion. See Illuminations (pages 55-56).
