Group Exhibition What’s Your Revolution?

Curated by Sharon Switzer and
co-produced by Onestop Media Group
and Art for Commuters.

Within a climate of massive social
and political change, artists provoke,
stimulate and motivate Toronto commuters
with enlightened calls to action, and
artistic responses to the idea of inciting
revolt. What’s Your Revolution? presents
photographic imagery every 10 minutes
on a network of over 270 LCD screens in
the Toronto subway system – a platform
for the sharing of radical imaginings.

FASTWURMS’ project venerates
the Donkey Sanctuary of Canada and
the Cats Anonymous shelter of Orton,
Ontario. John Marriott’s Dandelionheart
takes commuters on a panoramic
journey through space and time to a
land wherein images of hope provide a
backdrop for hypothetical futures. Kisses
You, by Darren O’Donnell, radically
proposes that making out should occur
in public, and puts every TTC commuter
in the position of a lover. Carolyn Tripp’s
work is designed as a Public Service
Announcement for her ongoing “Gaming
and Tourism Commission” project,
which addresses the intersection of
zoological and municipal concerns.

Variously quiet, riotous, playful, radical,
personal and far-reaching, the visual
stories played out on the modern-day
soapbox of our subway platforms have
the power to evoke change.
