  • Wychwood Park Wychwood Park Sits on a Height of Land That Was Once the Lake Iroquois Shore
    Wychwood Park Wychwood Park sits on a height of land that was once the Lake Iroquois shore. The source for Taddle Creek lies to the north and provides the water for the pond found in the centre of the Park. Today, Taddle Creek continues under Davenport Road at the base of the escarpment and flows like an underground snake towards the Gooderham and Worts site and into Lake Ontario. Access to this little known natural area of Toronto is by two entrances one at the south, where a gate prevents though traffic, and the other entrance at the north end, off Tyrell Avenue, which provides the regular vehicular entrance and exit. A pedestrian entrance is found between 77 and 81 Alcina Avenue. Wychwood Park was founded by Marmaduke Matthews and Alexander Jardine in the third quarter of the 19th century. In 1874, Matthews, a land- scape painter, built the first house in the Park (6 Wychwood Park) which he named “Wychwood,” after Wychwood Forest near his home in England. The second home in Wychwood Park, “Braemore,” was built by Jardine a few years later (No. 22). When the Park was formally established in 1891, the deed provided building standards and restrictions on use. For instance, no commercial activities were permitted, there were to be no row houses, and houses must cost not less than $3,000. By 1905, other artists were moving to the Park. Among the early occupants were the artist George A. Reid (Uplands Cottage at No. 81) and the architect Eden Smith (No. 5). Smith designed both 5 and 81, as well as a number of others, all in variations of the Arts and Crafts style promoted by C.F.A.

  • Disrupting Toronto's Urban Space Through the Creative (In)Terventions
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Institutional Repository of the Ibero-American Institute, Berlin Disrupting Toronto’s Urban Space through the Creative (In)terventions of Robert Houle Alterando el espacio urbano de Toronto a través de las (in)tervenciones creativas de Robert Houle Julie Nagam University of Winnipeg and Winnipeg Art Gallery, Canada [email protected] Abstract: is essay addresses the concealed geographies of Indigenous histories in the City of Toronto, Canada, through selected artworks that address history, space, and place. e research is grounded in the idea that the selected artworks narrate Indigenous stories of place to visually demonstrate an alternative cartography that challenges myths of settlement situated in the colonial narratives of archaeology and geography. Indigenous artist Robert Houle has created artworks that narrate Indigenous stories of place using the memories and wisdom of Indigenous people in areas of art, archaeology, and geography (land). is visual map is grounded in the premise that the history of the land is embodied in Indigenous knowledge of concealed geographies and oral histories. It relies upon concepts of Native space and place to demonstrate the signicance of the embodied knowledges of Indigenous people and highlights the importance of reading the land as a valuable archive of memory and history. Keywords: Indigenous; art; geographies; space; urban; Toronto; Canada; 20th-21st centuries. Resumen: Este ensayo aborda las geografías ocultas de las historias indígenas en la ciudad de Toronto, Canadá, a través de obras de arte seleccionadas que abordan la historia, el espacio y el lugar. La investigación se basa en la idea de que las obras seleccionadas narran historias de lugar indígenas para mostrar visualmente una cartografía alternativa que desafía los mitos de asentamiento situados en las narrativas coloniales de la arqueología y la geografía.

  • Christiane and Michael Pflug Fonds CA OTAG SC060
    Art Gallery of Ontario E. P. Taylor Research Library and Archives Description & Finding Aid: Christiane and Michael Pflug fonds CA OTAG SC060 Prepared by Meredith Ferguson, 2007 317 Dundas Street West, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5T 1G4 Reference Desk: 416-979-6642 www.ago.net/ago/library Christiane and Michael Pflug fonds Christiane and Michael Pflug fonds Dates of creation: 1930 - 2006 Extent: 455 cm of textual records and graphic material 2 audio cassettes 1 video cassette 3 artefacts Biographical sketch: Sybille Christiane Pflug (née Schütt) (1936-1972), German-Canadian realist painter, was born in Berlin, Germany and died of an intentional overdose at Hanlan’s Point, Toronto Islands. Upon the outbreak of the Second World War, Pflug was sent alone to live with family friends in the Austrian Tyrol town of Kitzbühl where she remained until her early teens. In 1953, Pflug left Germany for Paris to study fashion design. On a train to Paris in 1954, she met Michael Pflug (1929-,) a German medical student and aspiring artist. At his urging, and with the encouragement of artist friends Vieira da Silva and Arpad Szenès, Christiane, who had no formal art training, began to paint. The Pflugs married in 1956 and moved shortly afterwards to Tunis, Africa where Michael had accepted a medical internship. In early 1958, Christiane and Michael held the first joint exhibition of their work at l’Alliance Française in Tunis. Christiane and the couple’s two young daughters, Esther and Ursula, joined her mother in Toronto in 1959 while Michael remained in Africa.
