The experience of moving places is central to contemporary life, particularly in Toronto. What then are the effects of this restless mobility in our lives, both physically and mentally, in relation to each other and to our environment?

This one-week mobile exhibition examines the ways in which movement, more specifically movement in the city, is tied to space and time—at once symbolically and materially. Installed inside and outside rented moving trucks, the selected works invite the audience to pay attention to the concept of mobility, not only in regard to social status, but also as inherent to our relationship with the urban landscape as co-producers to its development.

As we are always in motion, so is the city.
