Pour sa grande exposition de l’été, le Centre d’art Diane-Dufresne présente, en exclusivité mondiale, du 20 juin au 29 septembre 2019, une sélection de peintures et dessins réalisés par Roger Taillibert, architecte du Stade olympique de Montréal, legs majeur de la modernité.

Cette exposition est présentée sous le commissariat d’Alain Stanké, auteur, éditeur, producteur et sculpteur et de Maxime-Alexis Frappier, architecte notamment du CADD.

Ce corpus d’œuvres, jamais dévoilé au public, a été réalisé par le célèbre architecte français tout au long de sa prolifique carrière. Alors qu’il réalisait de grands ensembles architecturaux dans les grandes capitales du globe, nous découvrons que son violon d’Ingres était la peinture. Ses tableaux, œuvres fortes et denses, laissent deviner, en filigrane, une figuration émergente et assumée, ayant pour thèmes de prédilection l’architecture, le sport et la nature.Ses tableaux sont une ode à la couleur dans son acception la plus haute.

L’exposition Volumes et lumière met en parallèle ses deux passions dont l’influence réciproque est mise en valeur par une scénographie en deux temps : ses œuvres architecturales et ses œuvres peintes se répondant, comme les deux faces d’une même médaille.

Un documentaire inédit d’Alain Stanké, réalisé avec M. Taillibert entre Paris et Saint-Sauveur, sera présenté au public. M. Taillibert s’y révèle sans artifices et nous fait partager souvenirs et anecdotes de son enfance à aujourd’hui.

Artist and architectural designer Adrian Blackwell’s two-part installation is part of the inaugural Toronto Biennial of Art. 

The ancient Greek term isonomia implies political equality. Blackwell’s two site-responsive, non-hierarchical structures at the Biennial function as gathering places for weekly programs, and spaces for contemplating isonomia in the face of colonial governance structures that have overtaken Indigenous ones.

At 259 Lake Shore Boulevard East (the biennial’s main exhibition space), Isonomia in Toronto? (harbour) is modelled after Toronto’s changing shoreline, illustrating the effects of encroaching privatization on the land. 

At the Small Arms Inspection Building in Mississauga, a 300 foot-long cushion-like structure with infinite configurations allows visitors to sit in curves, folds and knots. An image of the shoreline of Etobicoke Creek—also known as wadoopikaang (the place where the alders grow) in Anishinaabemowin—stretches along its length, connecting land- and human- based pedagogies.

In 1964, Toronto was a conservative administrative city.

In 1964, there was exactly one Japanese restaurant in Toronto.

In 1964, a derogatory term, “Made in Japan” referred to poorly-made, breakable objects.

And…

In 1964, the Japanese Canadian community opened a new cultural centre, the daring design alluding to a concrete Japanese temple.

The designer of the centre was a young, little known architect named Raymond Moriyama.

Join design talks (d.talks) in a discussion on the role of design in an often overlooked topic: waste.

In two generations, we’ve shifted from refillable glass bottles to single-use packaging. Serial replacement has become invisible. 

Our city has reduced tonnes of waste entering the landfill with recycling and composting options. If we envisioned a future of zero-waste, what’s left to be done?

To explore the subject, d.talks is bringing together a panel to talk about waste from different perspectives. The panel includes Lourdes Juan, founder of the Leftovers Foundation; Sharon Howland, leader of program management for waste and recycling at the City of Calgary; Adam Corneil, CEO & Founder of unbuilders;  and Sumer Singh, founder of MTHARU, a Calgary based design studio and research lab. Moderated by Jennifer Koole (Rocky View County and member of the Recycling Council of Alberta), together they will explore the possibilities of a waste-free future.

Public transportation success stories

In the minds of many, one of the most attractive features of a city is how easy it is to get from point A to point B. Public transit lies at the heart of this equation.

This Urbanism Lab event takes you behind the scenes of public transit expansion and modernization to learn about the pitfalls and triumphs you might not read about in the morning news.
