Loosely based on the Butter Battle Book by Dr. Seuss, a bubble battle is an explosion of bubbles! Bring bubble guns, bubble generators, and bubble wands, wait for the signal, and start blowing millions and millions of bubbles!

OCAD University Students have constructed an dreamlike store complete with oversized fruit and packaged sandwiches. These products are not for sale, making our store a catalyst for conversation and participation. This immersive work takes it’s inspiration from Claes Oldenburgs’ 1961 piece “The Store” which used collage and sculpture to comment on consumerism. We have expanded on this idea to include the concept of gift giving and creating a personal experience for the viewer, allowing everyone to assume and share the role of artist.

Inner Child’s Play is an interactive performance piece where we ask children to give their parents permission to let their own Inner Child play.

Three brightly painted freestanding tripod-like structures, festooned with children's toys, metal water bottles, and other unexpected things that make great-sounding music. There will be strikers securely attached to the structures, and people of all heights and ages can play music together on the Junk Band.

How would you sum up your life and who you are in 140 characters? Technology has made our communications easier, faster, and more accesible but has it also distilled and dilluted how we communicate who we really are and our ability to connect at a deeper level. Given only 140 characters to communicate the sum of yourself and who you are, what will you say without the freedom of limitless adjectives, adverbs, and imagery?

Over the 2 day period, artist & the public will use pre-cut stencils & coloured sand to create a mandala on top of the grounds @ Figment. Using images borrowed from pop culture, participants will repeat the pattern out from the center. In time, the wind will blow the sand images away- representing the temporary & fragile nature of "life as we know it".

Kyle Killam believes that thoughts and feelings have the ability to possess the one who houses them and that these “entities” want to be acknowledged. Through Red Face, Kyle provides the canvas these entities require for externalization and acknowledgement. Red Face is a performance art piece where the artist silently wanders the grounds gifting beautiful stones to random individuals. You will know Red Face by its black cloak and adornments of gold and silver. Nothing is revealed to onlookers except the red face. Only during gifting may you more of Red Face: a single red hand that emerges out of the blackness and quietly returns once the gift is received and accepted.

Naiads turned to statues, frozen in time. Longing to escape their statuesque state. A musician comes and their frozen existence is lifted for a time. Free to indulge in movement, bask in the sun and delight in human contact.

I will be installing seemingly ordinary street "WARNING " signs that give the viewer pause because their content warn you of a contradictory situation or state of mind. Each sign is constructed to the exact material and dimensional specifications of actual street signs. Each sign will be situated to stand alone when seen by the viewer and could be situated near any part of a pedestrian walkway to appear as natural as possible. One sign will actually encourage participants to write comments on it and an erasable marker will be provided for this purpose.
