    Guide to the Leslie Street Spit

    Urbanspace Gallery
    As acclaimed Spanish artist Lara Almarcegui's first solo exhibition in Canada, this public art project serves as a guide to the Leslie Street Spit, an artificial peninsula formed by the dumping of waste deposits from Toronto’s construction industry into Lake Ontario. Accordingly, the project addresses a subject of vital interest—construction, development, and the use of the land and water.
