Hi everyone! I'm dorsum on Canadian set down too excited to hold upward posting my laid about column from Toronto. This volition hold upward a regular thing, too I'm looking forrad to sharing about of the amazing fine art too pattern move that's created inwards this city.

Like many large cities, there's ever something happening inwards Toronto. New stores opening, gallery exhibitions, pattern shows too conferences. This past times weekend, inwards forepart of the Gladstone Hotel, iv 18-wheeler trucks were transformed into a site-specific installation called Special Delivery.

Special Delivery is a temporary exhibition which transforms truck interiors into immersive installations created past times local designers too artists. As an offshoot of IIDEX (Canada's National Design too Architecture Exposition too Conference), each artist/designer has responded to the mobile infinite of the exhibit truck. In an interesting inversion, the 18-wheeler, which, inwards the illustration of a large pattern show/conference is typically used to carry materials from exhibit to show, at 1 time becomes work of the exhibition. Paired amongst a truck sponsor, each installation considers, inspires and/or incorporates the materials, processes or products of the vehicles they inhabit.

It's ever interesting to encounter art/design deed exterior of its commons haunts, too it's this chemical constituent that made Special Delivery both playful too successful. See all the peachy truck interiors below.
