XPACE Cultural Centre

Several exhibitions were opening at Xpace’s new location at 303 Lansdowne Avenue. According to director Amber Landgraff the new space is about the same size as the former location on Ossington but all on one level.
The front window work, Façade by artist Janine Miedzik used colourful tape to create a wonderful installation. It was the perfect window work to draw attention to the new space. The Main Gallery Space had an exhibition The Archivists curated by Cameron Lee with works by Melissa Fisher, Zoe Solomon, and Felix Kalmenson.
