High up North, on the edge of what is still considered Toronto, lies York University. I’ve never had any reason to trek all the way up there (and neither has the subway system…) but this upcoming event looks very appealing:
Ambi-valent Objects Exhibition
The Art Gallery Meets The Science Fair
October 5-16, 2009Locations: Gales Gallery, 105 Accolade West and the Special Projects Gallery, Joan & Martin Goldfarb Centre for Fine Arts, main floor
Opening Reception (both locations): Thursday October 8, 2009, 4-6pmDon’t miss this unique exhibition! Over 20 participants have come together from Anthropology, Mathematics, Film, Physics & Astronomy, Dance, Environmental Studies, Visual Arts, Ecology, English, Engineering, and Social and Political Thought to create catalytic collaborations  mind-bending artworks, hybrid performances, interactive videos, holographic projections, cosmic ray visualizations and much much more.
I’ll be there! I hope John and Nadia want to come along, if only because I need help finding York…
Yeah, I definitely want to go to that; I might also check this out:

York’s easy to get to, it just takes forever (around an hour from downtown, if you’re near the University/Spadina subway line). Bring a book to read on the way!
