Bomb Your Town…With Seeds!
Actions: What You Can Do With the City
Exhibition runs from November 26 2008 until April 19 2009
The Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA) is hosting an exhibition called Actions: What You Can Do With the City featuring 99 actions that instigate positive change in contemporary cities around the world. The projects were comprised by a large and diverse group of activists whose personal involvement has triggered radical change in today’s cities. These human motors of change include architects, engineers, university professors, students, children, pastors, artists, skateboarders, cyclists, root eaters, pedestrians, municipal employees, and many others who answer the question of what can be done to improve the urban experience with surprising and often playful actions. From nocturnal fruit foraging to DIY bike lanes, to seed bombs, there are some pretty sweet ideas packed into the show. Even if you aren’t lucky enough to live in Montreal and go see the exhibition in person (it runs through April 19), you can still scope out all 99 actions here. The artist’s experimental interactions with the urban environment show the potential influence personal involvement can have in shaping the city- now that’s a concept that Art in the Age can get behind!
