Her interest in this genre evolved from an early interest in Pop art and documentary photography. Working from her photographs of compelling interiors, people and objects, Tod finds a way to insert an element of social commentary and wit into every impeccably crafted painting.<\/p>\n<p>The title of Tod\u2019s new exhibition, University and Spadina, invokes the names of two wellknown Toronto streets. The implication of a fictitious intersection sets up a paradoxical comparison of two closely situated, but otherwise disparate landmarks in this city &#8211; 1 Spadina Crescent, the current home of the University of Toronto\u2019s Visual Studies Department and the Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art. The variance in their architectural style as well as function is highlighted in Tod\u2019s ability to convey the particular moods that permeate these historic and still-evolving buildings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>October 11 \u2013 November 3, 2012<\/strong><br \/>\nOpening: Thursday, October 11, 6\u20138 pm<\/p>\n<p><strong>NICOLAS METIVIER GALLERY<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>convey the particular moods that permeate these historic and still-evolving buildings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-p\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/?p=15399\">Read more &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":15398,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15399","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-listings_archive"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15399","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=15399"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15399\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16202,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15399\/revisions\/16202"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/15398"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=15399"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=15399"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=15399"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
