In/Future proved to be an incredible re-imagining and re-invigoration of Ontario Place, that neglected public land occupying a special place in our memories and on the shore of Lake Ontario. We were honoured to create our component sculpture Flotsam/Jetsam for the exhibition and witness it shift and evolve through the actions of waves, weather and visitors over the course of the ten day festival.
A recurring aspect in our work is water, its liquid and fluidity, its presence and absence. We were invited to speak about this in pechakucha format at the Open Eyes Toronto event Water: Tiny Talks on Big Issues. The evening featured talks by artists, scientists and activists on/about/and related to water and its many forms.

LeuWebb Projects will be presenting Cascadia, a sound-based installation at Grow Op: Exploring landscape and place, a four-day event that celebrates innovative ideas and conceptual responses to landscape and place across a broad range of creative practices.
Embedded into the Gladstone Hotel and its environs, from adventitious niches to feature rooms, Grow Op 2014 presents work that explores new territories. The projects symbiotically connect to tell stories about water, memory, urbanism, natural process, public space, everyday materiality, hunting, urbanism and rural food economies.
Opening reception is Friday, April 25, 2014, 7pm – 10pm. Be there and listen for Cascadia, washing down the hotel’s central staircase!
