Location

Relative Space storefront gallery 365 Dupont Street, Toronto, Ontario

OCAD is proud of its collaboration with Relative Space, an up-scale floor works and furniture store located on Dupont Street. Mr. Fraser Greenberg, Artistic Director of Relative Space has graciously proffered his storefront gallery wall space to the students enrolled in the 4th year course Painting in the Expanded Field.
Under the direction of Associate Professors George Boileau and Colette Laliberté students enrolled in the course were invited, as part of their final term project, to submit a proposal for the storefront gallery of Relative Space. Two of the 17 submitted proposals will be produced within the next 4 months.

Alexa Ponomareff and Daniela Pettinato collaborated to create a stunning wall painting. The artists based their
intervention Birds of Paradise on “the plant diagonal form and its natural embodiment of the brilliant red, orange blue and green colours echoing the vivid colours of the furniture and the environmental awareness shown by Relative Space in their choice of and variety of eco-friendly wool carpeting”.
OCAD is grateful to Relative Space for their generous support.
