A celebration for a new multimedia exhibition Tower of the Sacred and Ordinary by Daniel Toretsky, created for FENTSTER and presented as part of the in-person 2021 KlezKanada programming.
Toretsky brings his architectural training to his artistic projects, creating imaginative built environments and urban landscapes that marry social justice issues and actual places with witty, invented scenarios and settings. Raised in the Yiddish revival scene, Toretsky’s work is often informed by probing Ashkenazi traditions, heritage and history with a humourous spatial lens. In this visually-driven session in conversation with curator Evelyn Tauben, he will share examples of his past work and the inspiration behind his multifaceted exhibition. Uncover his research process and wildly imaginative preparatory drawings together with appearances from other creatives sharing their crowdsourced contributions that inspired Toretsky’s whimsical drawings at the heart of his Tower of The Sacred and Ordinary.
The exhibition and event are presented together with KlezKanada
This online gathering is free but advanced registration is required.
