Completely agree with Ed Keenan’s article on Kensington Market in the Star today: www.thestar.com/opinion/star...
Edward Keenan: Preserving Kensington Market’s true ‘neighbourhood character’ means being open to change
The places we put desirable things in Toronto can't always be "somewhere else."

Nice to see this show up on Shawn Micallef's feed. I made it several years ago as a personal, random but meaningful picture of my coming-of-age Toronto (I was in high school from 1977-1982, the peak punk/zine/DIY years for me).
Toronto is rich. Friends have this big poster of Toronto art / culture timeline just for 14 years & it’s incredible. Probably just skimming. Good city.

My exhibition, Field Notes, opens tomorrow at the McMichael with a talk at 2pm with curator John Geoghegan. The show collects works produced through a long term study of a farmers field in King City Ontario that is home to Shift 1970 by Richard Serra, a colony of herons, and a wide range of plants.
