  • Collage Party results: Everyone’s a winner!

    all-collages_6322

    Last week’s Artscape Equinox event was a smashing success — 400 people walked through the front doors and explored the many open studios, workshops, and performances going on throughout the building’s four floors. On the topmost floor it was a quieter scene, but TYPOLOGY had a steady stream of visitors, including the intrepid subset who rose gamely to the collage challenge. Above, a shot of the evening’s art bounty, which impresses with its variety of images and approaches.

    First, the bad news: due to the guest curator’s inability to complete her project as scheduled, our March exhibition has been cancelled.

    However, we’ve got an even better reason for you to keep your March 20th date with us — Artscape Youngplace’s Equinox Open House! Everyone’s invited for a building-wide celebration of spring, featuring open studios, exhibitions, workshops, seasonal cocktails, tunes, and treats.

  • The Thank You speech I meant to make

    snowstill

    We’ve had an amazing first month at TYPOLOGY with our inaugural exhibition, ERRATIC ROOM | LYLA RYE, and last night’s holiday party was a wonderful way to celebrate everything we’ve achieved and experienced and learned in the process. Certainly I personally have many people to thank for their hard work, dedication, advice, enthusiasm, and support, and am remiss in not jumping upon the opportunity to express my gratitude at the height of festivities last evening.

  • Fantastic Opening! Next up: Film Screening and Artist’s Talk (bring the kids!)

    20131118shawstreetschool1

    We’re still in recovery mode from an amazing opening night at Artscape Youngplace. After more than a decade laying empty, what a thrill it was to see the hallways and former Shaw Street School classrooms filled once again with people, including and especially all the enthusiastic kids. Artscape launched Youngplace in style, with resident artist and curator Heather Nicol’s two building-wide exhibitions, Unarchive and Stairmasters, gracing the passageways, plus food, drink, and music galore.

    TYPOLOGY’s doors were open all day for tours by the kids from neighbouring Givins Shaw School, who unanimously loved the unpredictable projections of ERRATIC ROOM. Some even came back with their parents later in the day, joining the hundreds of visitors who attended the official ERRATIC ROOM opening and catalogue launch as part of the greater building’s festivities. The response was wonderful and we thank everyone who stopped by, introduced themselves, made comments, and/or signed up for the mailing list. Welcome to TYPOLOGY!
