LUFF:

We are very excited to present, in conjunction with the Society of Homo Ludens, THE WEYBOURNE PROJECT

THE WEYBOURNE PROJECT is a one week residency in a north Toronto century home slated for demolition. An experiment without limits, 13 artists and architects will use the provisional spaces inside the home as ground for intervention; a laboratory for autonomous research, production, and spontaneous collaboration.

Working with architectural alteration, installation, kinetic sculpture, lighting, performance, and sound, the artists create interventions in the pre existing and manipulated spaces.

We invite you to come see the results in a two day exhibition.

LUFF art + dialogue is an independent art space committed to supporting and presenting experimental and emerging work across disciplines. Luff is producing this project as part of 2013: A Space Odyssey (a series on space)
