Featuring installations and video projections by Dean Baldwin, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Luis Jacob, and Noam Gonick, Morris/Trasov Archive, Pipilotti Rist, Kevin Schmidt, and Roman Signer explore the capacity of the imagination in the interstices of dreaming and waking, and its possibilities to conjure imaginary futures, ideals, and fantasies to transform the everyday.

Join us for the closing of Luis Jacob and Noam Gonick’s Wildflowers of Manitoba (2007) and Morris/Trasov Archive’s Light-On in Babyland (1970-1974) at Dean Baldwin’s Algonquin Tiki Tiki Hut at the Hart House Quad at midnight.

The Justina M. Barnicke presents two distinct exhibitions on the subject of alternative communities and collective lifestyle. Both set in a pastoral environment, Wildflowers of Manitoba finds its counterpart in the collaborative experimentations at Babyland (Sunshine Coast, British Columbia) originally started by Michael Morris, Vincent Trasov, and others in the early 1970s.
