List of Ten: a student's guide to reading week

Hey Students!!

With Reading Week on the horizon, XPACE has compiled a List of Ten things to do. Since sleeping-in and procrastination are usually at the top of our to-do lists during this week, why not substitute essays & projects with some great events going on in our city. For exhibitions, films, shopping or skating, keep on reading....

Running With Concepts: Call For Submissions & Registration

The Blackwood Gallery presents
RUNNING WITH CONCEPTS
MAY 5 & 6, 2012
A TWO DAY HYBRID* EVENT
LED BY FOUR DISTINGUISHED GUESTS:

*Part-workshop, part-conference, part-crit session, part-masterclass, part pechakucha (but longer), part ignite (but longer still).

Michael Fernandes(artist, Nova Scotia College of Art & Design)Peggy Gale (independent curator, Toronto), Sheila Heti(writer, Toronto)and Mark Lanctôt (curator, Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal). Moderated bySuzanne Carte(independent curator, New York/Toronto).

How do ideas take form? How does one embark on the process of extracting, editing and distilling an idea into a presentable format? One half of this intensive two day event (May 5–6) will be led by four distinguished guests who will model the process by which they each move from the conceptual to the final stages of a project. They will present the successes and failures of both in progress and finished work in a series of engaging presentations.
