2014 Publications Launch

Every festival, many of our participating artists arrive with a treasure trove of publications, multiples, wearables or other items that come out of or are produced alongside their performance practice. They could be hot-off-the-press items or works that are difficult to circulate outside their own communities. This year we provide a public forum for the distribution and sale of those works by hosting the “official” Toronto publication launch of these rare commodities. Come join in a lively celebration and exchange of wares, including a special performance by Kurt Johannessen; there may even be a freebie or two!

Saturday Nov 1 4 pm
Artscape Youngplace

An event of the 10th 7a*11d International Festival of Performance Art
