The Leona Drive Project: Site Specificity and Experimental Communities

Thursday, 2 December 2010, 7:00 pm
1113 Medical Education Building

The Leona Drive Project was a landmark collaboration in which more than 20 noted artists joined with students, developers and place-makers to create a site-specific exhibition on a street in one of Toronto’s oldest inner suburbs, Willowdale. The project, which ran for 10 days in October 2009, featured 18 original artist projects installed in a series of five vacant bungalows slated for demolition. The project was ranked “top art show of 2009” by Toronto’s Now Magazine.

Specifically designed to engage with the architecture and spatial design of the houses, the works spanned a variety of media, from audio, architectural installation and projection to photography, sculpture and performance. The project incorporated recorded audio interviews with new and longtime residents of Leona Drive, photographs of Willowdale past and present, and a documentary film about the project and the process behind it by Philip Hoffman.

Dr. Marchessault conceived The Leona Drive Project and co-curated it with Ontario College of Art & Design Professor Michael Prokopow. The artist works were commissioned through the Public Access Collective in association with the LOT: Experiments in Urban Research collective.
