Nooks

Please join us on Friday September 14th at 8pm for the launch of our fall season with Instant Coffee: Nooks. The Toronto/Vancouver artist collective Instant Coffee take over the front and back galleries with a sculptural social environment based on a kitchen nook from one of their apartments, which the collective uses to engage audiences in event-based activities such as lectures and readings, meetings, a slide show, a magazine launch and a catered dinner.
