In his Exodus series Peter Barelkowski presents his work on the always relevant topic of displacement and migration.
Organized by Koffler Arts, the DECADE project celebrates 10 years since Youngplace at 180 Shaw St. opened as a vibrant hub for arts and culture in the west end of Toronto.
In 2023 Artscape went into receivership, leaving the fate of many cultural spaces at Youngplace unknown. From February through May 2024, Koffler Arts highlighted eight artists with studio space in the building, shining a spotlight on the importance of affordable spaces for artists to create work in Toronto. The second part of the exhibition Another DECADE (Nov 7 – Dec 15), curated by David Liss, focuses on the arts organizations who have called Youngplace home over the past decade. Stay tuned as we reveal the artists and organizations featured in the exhibition on Instagram (@kofflerarts) throughout the month of October!
The DECADE project comes at a time of economic challenges in Toronto that demand consideration of how artists and arts organizations can inhabit the city, contribute to its vitality, and achieve greater security for the future of Youngplace and other cultural spaces across Toronto.
