Visit MOCA and experience The Life of a Dead Tree by artist Mark Dion. Laid out at the heart of the exhibition is a magnificent dead ash. Explore the life a dead tree holds and learn about invasive insects killing off some of Toronto's most treasured trees. Dion states: "to build a culture of nature that features regeneration over destruction... it requires input from a diverse collation of thinkers, makers, and doers. Art is one of many areas which can be important to this constellation."
