Located at 911 Davenport Road in
Toronto, Canada, Roadside Attractions is a storefront window art
space created and maintained by WeSee Inc. The space is used for
monthly, site-specific installations and other visual art
projects.
Conceived in 2007 with its inaugural exhibit in July of that year,
Roadside Attractions has shown a diverse selection of artists
incorporating a wide range of media. Our on-going commitment is to
present exhibits that stimulate the promotion of contemporary art
and culture in a venue that allows for provocative interactions
with the populace at large.
Commencing in 2010 Roadside
Attractions will be exhibiting the art projects of international
artists while maintaining our commitment to Canadian artists in
order to promote and encourage a cultural link with the global
community.
Artists' works are selected by means of proposal
submissions and exhibits are scheduled on an
on-going basis.
We accept submissions for projects
in any media with the provision that it is suited to the confines
of the space (view our Submissions Outline
or contact us for more details or to be on our
mailing list).
Roadside Attractions is available free to the exhibiting
artist.

And
My House
by Ashley
Guindon
(videos,
artifacts, vinyl)
And My House
utilizes video, found
objects and familial artifacts to create a personal cabinet of
curiosities. Peepholes in the opaqued storefront window allow a
focused attention to objects elemental in their significance to the
artist's childhood with its religiose
upbringing.
And My
House allows the viewer a private look
into their own past precipitated by the rituals and iconography of
childhhood and offers consideration of what makes us who we become
as adults.
