Flip Books and Urban Story-telling Collide with Digital Media in Flip-Toronto<\/p>\n

Pattison Onestop, Art for Commuters (A4C)<\/strong> in collaboration with Circuit Gallery<\/strong> (Toronto) and Dar Onboz<\/strong> (Beirut, Lebanon) present Flip-Toronto, a fun new project that collides flip-books and digital media screens, bringing to life animated anecdotes that explore and capture the city\u2019s transformations, hidden histories and surprises. Animated flip-books created by eight Toronto-based artists will play on the network of Pattison Onestop\u2019s TTC subway platform screens throughout Toronto from August 4 to August 19, 2012 \u00a0and will appear every 10 minutes on TTC platform screens, in over 60 stations on more than 300 screens across the city.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very pleased to premiere Flip-Toronto in North America to more than one million daily commuters, so residents and visitors alike can enjoy these innovative narrative flip-books highlighting Toronto,\u201d states Sharon Switzer, Pattison Onestop Arts Programmer and Curator<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Artists took on the challenge to explore and tell a story about a Toronto neighbourhood or location in only 60 pages, without text or sound. Working in diverse media (drawing, photography, paper-cut) the artists have captured and illustrated everyday moments and childhood memories, revealed historic events, and showcase this ever changing and dynamic city.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe results are quite amazing! The range of subjects and approaches taken were unexpected. From the use of pen and ink to bring to life a rain soaked 1950s football game, to Google maps used as the source material for a series of encaustic paintings animating the changing urban landscape of The Junction,\u201d says Claire Sykes, Curator<\/em>.
\nFlip-Toronto reveals the energy and transformation of Parkdale, Chinatown and the Junction, depicts the morphing of City Hall, highlights the famous Mud-Bowl Grey Cup game of 1950 played at Varsity Stadium, portrays the dynamic performing Dufferin neighbourhood crossing-guard and conveys the harmonic tunes of musicians in the Museum subway station.<\/p>\n

Flip-Toronto features work by<\/strong>: David Grenier, Aubrey Reeves, Alec Dempster, Cortney Stephenson, Mary Porter, Tania Ursomarzo, Patrick Jenkins, and Lise Beaudry.<\/p>\n

Flip-Toronto is curated by<\/strong> Claire Sykes and Susana Reisman, Circuit Gallery (Toronto), Nadine Touma, Dar Onboz (Beirut, Lebanon) and Sharon Switzer, Art for Commuters.<\/p>\n

Flip-Toronto was inspired by Flip-Beirut, the successful flip-book project conceived and realized by the Lebanese publishing house Dar Onboz. Flip-Toronto is the second installation in what is hoped to become a multi-city initiative, under the umbrella title of Flip-City.<\/p>\n
