Twinning Artists - Twinning Cities: Avalon

After four and a half years at its original location in 100 McCaul Street, Onsite [at] OCAD University will use this winter’s break to move to a new, much-expanded location at 230 Richmond Street West as part of this year’s on-going celebration of OCAD University’s 135th anniversary.

The inaugural exhibition in this new venue is the first in a series of partnerships between Canadian and foreign artists that is called “Twinning Artists—Twinning Cities,” and that was conceived of in collaboration with Partners in Art. Avalon (Bangalore and Toronto) is the first project in the “Twinning” series. To launch Avalon, Toronto’s Oliver Husain completed a residency in Bangalore this fall, during which he shot a new film titled Item Number — a backstage drama inspired by architect KM Heinz, which will premiere in Bangalore in late April.
