Finding a place in the city | OpenFile

"“I love maps, but that’s how a city is always transcribed,' professes Patrick Macaulay, the Head of Visual Arts for the Harbourfront Centre. Rather than offering a simplified picture of a place—an illustrative concept distilling what's otherwise complex, what we typically think a map would be—for the Centre's new exhibition, Macauley brought together eight projects that present a collective picture that is layered and engrossing. In Plotting a City, Toronto is not simplified, but complicated, with each project revealing a different way of seeing and experiencing this place."
