Look in my face; my name is Might-have-been; I am also called No-more, Too-late, Farewell \/ Geoffrey Farmer<\/strong><\/p>\n

June 19 – 28, 2015 \/ 12\u00a0am – 12 am <\/strong>
\nTrinity Bellwoods Park<\/strong>
\n155 Crawford Street, Toronto<\/p>\n

A spontaneously generated, never-ending montage sequence, drawing upon tens-of-thousands of discarded images, creating a compelling visual and auditory experience, from Canadian artist Geoffrey Farmer, presented in collaboration with the AGO<\/p>\n

Known for his monumental cut-outs and collages, Geoffrey Farmer mines popular culture, combining film, theatre and literature to create his large scale immersive works. Playful and poetic, Farmer\u2019s projects are meticulously researched, and involve the transformation of found material. His most recent project is currently on display at the National Gallery of Canada, 22,000 images cut from Life magazine displayed chronologically in the form of shadow puppets. Presented in collaboration with the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO), Look in my face; my name is Might-have-been; I am also called No-more, Too-late, Farewell. is a computer generated algorithmic montage sequence that has been developed in collaboration with Brady Marks and with the support of The Barbican in London, Mercer Union in Toronto and Fondazione Morra Greco in Naples. The film\u2019s program organizes thousands of images creating both categorical groupings, and randomly associative narratives that arise out of the juxtaposition of picture with sound. The title refers to a dedication written on the back of a photograph given to Marcel Proust in 1893 \u2014 a synonym of love, memory and remembrance.<\/p>\n

Art in Transit<\/strong><\/p>\n

June 19 – 28, 2015<\/strong>
\nTTC subway station in Toronto<\/strong><\/p>\n

A partnership between Luminato Festival and PATTISON Onestop<\/p>\n

Artists from the Pan American countries \u2013 who have never been to the city \u2013 share snapshots of the Toronto they imagine in an art installation appearing throughout Toronto\u2019s transit system. Artists are paired with a TTC subway station and tasked to create a 10-second silent video\/stop frame postcard that encapsulates their vision of Toronto while reflecting the identity of their native land.<\/p>\n

After a successful debut in the 2014 Luminato Festival, Art in Transit poses a series of important questions for our daily commute: What impression has Toronto made on the rest of the continent? Is this a true reflection of the Toronto we know? And what would you put on your postcard to the city?<\/p>\n
