Pass It On

I'm excited to see the new exhibit, artEXCHANGE, at Brayham Contemporary Art gallery – a small gallery in Toronto's Leslieville that focuses on emerging artists. Based on the notion of loss of control, it is a collaboration of five different artists spanning installation, painting and mixed media. Each was asked to create the foundation for a piece, which was then passed on to each of the other artists to continue working on it. They had control over the piece as they worked on it, but not over how the final piece turned out. It's an interesting process that shows the whole can be greater than the sum of its parts. Plus, there some pretty cool pieces to check out and an opening reception tonight at 7 p.m.
