The Canadian Romantic’s Window Display<\/strong>
\nby Robert Dayton<\/strong>
\nAs part of WNDW<\/strong>
\ncurated by Mark Laliberte<\/strong><\/p>\n

WNDW is a multi-site project that links a cross-section of Toronto\u2019s independent street-level window galleries for the first time, exploring how vacant windows in downtown cores are transformed into unquestionably accessible, 24-hour walk-by galleries.<\/p>\n

Taking place throughout June, artists Robert Dayton, Larry Eisenstein, Happy Sleepy (Marc Ngui and Magda Wojtyra), Eunice Luk and Magda Trzaski take on these playful and sometimes challenging spaces, presenting five new, solo artworks united under a common curatorial umbrella.<\/p>\n

Participating spaces include ROADSIDE ATTRACTIONS, WINDOW BOX G1313, FINE & DANDY, HOWARD PARK INSTITUTE and QUEENSPECIFIC.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Canadian Romantic is a larger-than-life character by artist and entertainer Robert Dayton that explores the grey area of impossibilities that intersect with Canada and romance. This window display will revolve around these notions and this persona.<\/p>\n
