Toronto Transformed by Harry Enchin juxtaposes spontaneous photographs from 2008-2011 with record images from the City of Toronto archives. Just as the ‘old’ images were originally captured with the photographed tools of the day, the current ‘new’ images were captured with a digital camera. The combined photographs retain perspective, with reference points of old and new structures, establishments and roads. Photographs include iconic images. Change is observed in both historic and rejuvenated neighbourhoods such as the emerging art district of Queen and Ossington.
TorontoTransformed is Twist Gallery’s 22nd art exhibit since opening its doors back in February of 2010. Aside from the art shows, the 5,000 square foot venue has also played host to a variety of different events ranging from concerts to fashion shows, weddings and corporate functions to fundraisers.
