WILL ALSOPS
FIRST NORTH AMERICAN ART EXHIBIT PREMIERES AT
OLGA KORPER GALLERY JUNE 8 JULY 28
Toronto, 31 May 2007
Will Alsop the internationally renowned architect, artist and lecturer,
responsible for the provocative OCAD table top building will be unleashing
his equally expressive contemporary paintings in his first North American
Art Exhibit entitled Cultural Fog at the Olga Korper gallery June
8 July 28th.
Since the OCAD building, Will has become an integral part of Torontos
architectural renaissance. While many see the potential in areas such
as the Queen West triangle, Will Alsop has also found inspiration
in other city neighborhoods including Riverdale, Roncesvalles as well
as Kensington Market, the subject of Cultural Fog. In this exhibit,
Alsop questions the nature of urbanism and community. I paint
to learn, to exercise my brain and my imagination. Cultural Fog is
my musing on the possibilities for Kensington Market and the real
nature of community.
Alsops international experience and outsiders perspective
provide a unique view of the citys potential and how it can
be achieved. When speaking on community, he recognizes it all comes
back to a sense of civic pride and identity. By making a city
inspiring and inventive, says Alsop, it becomes different
from anywhere else in the world.
Alsops paintings have been exhibited alongside his architectural
projects and by several prestigious institutions, demonstrating how
art contributes to the built environment. Cultural Fog is Alsops
first art exhibit in North America.
Time: Opening 6-9pm
Date: Jun 7
Place: Olga Korper Gallery. 17 Morrow Ave. Exhibit continues from
Jun 8 to Jul 28.
