Our Grade 6 students are leading the way with an installation that include most Ogden students and will be seen and heard by the Nuit Blanche audience on this Saturday Night. Students, parents and teachers are involved in the installation in collaboration with local artists and the City of Toronto.
Between the earth and the sky, the possibility of everything will create a framework for artistic experimentation presented in a dynamic, engaging, surprising and fun way. Altering our basic assumptions about what we see, feel, and understand about our worlds and ourselves, the exhibition will invite audiences to re-think the social and sensorial possibilities of public spaces. The emphasis will be on artistic productions that make us reconsider the meanings of play and participation. The works will be unconventional and symbolic of their particular aesthetic. Projects will reflect poetically on the social and political issues affecting our present realities and possible futures.
Identity Play Ogden Junior Public School, TDSB Ogden Students, Staff and Parents Barry Prophet - Toronto, Canada James Buffin - Toronto, Canada.
Sound Art, Projection, Visual and Textual Media Pieces in the space between school and home. Playful projected imagery illuminates surfaces; reflecting memories, impressions and connections to identities of self and community. Multi-lingual verbal documents of schoolyard rhymes blend with the atmospheres and rhythms of our auditory world to inform the textures and patterns of sound art compositions. Images and sounds vibrate with a sense of self and resonate with a foundation of community. Collaboration with Sound Artist Barry Prophet & Video Artist James Buffin supported by Ontario Arts Council and funded by the TDSB Arts Department.
