NARWHAL 

THE FUNERAL [THEIR COLLECTION]

MELISSA FISHER & CHRIS BONI

Narwhal is pleased to present a special installation and exhibition where parallel worlds exist in tandem. Acting as an on-location film shoot for Two Cares Due None, an independent feature film created in Iceland, Italy, and Canada by Melissa Fisher and Chris Boni, The Funeral is both here and there, existing on parallel planes within the same dimension.

From artists and filmmakers Melissa Fisher and Chris Boni:

Ecstatic enjoyment has been given to us from the vantage of an outsider. Through an installation of photography, altered found objects, sculptural installations, and framed frottage rubbings we hope to convey the unique characteristics of The Caretaker, one of the most significant burgeoning artists today who works in "a hybrid re-localized manner". This is not an embellishment, rather a spawn of defense to the subject of location – allowing for space and distance-given to trade upon our newfound axis of co-creation. 

The Funeral is on view August 23rd to 29th.  For more information please visit www.narwhalprojects.com

Come visit the camp site of Troop 171. Imagine yourself getting warm by the campfire in a plush art deco chair surrounded by Persian rugs. Roast some marshmallows by the fire. Camp under the lights of the design crawl with us Friday night. It'll be intense!

Night Flea!

The Junction Flea will be hosting a FREE Night Flea from 6-11PM, featuring craft and vintage dealers as well as food, drinks, BEER and in case you get lost, a Design Crawl info booth.

Pandemonium: installation by White Sphinx

Pandemonium Books & Discs presents a tribute to the cassette tape.

Design collective White Sphinx will install a giant cassette tape in Pandemonium in memory of all the mixtapes eaten by cassette machines over the years. Are you old enough to remember when, instead of illegally downloading MP3s, you had to tape things from the radio? That took took careful timing and a fast finger on the record button.

Many people think that vinyl records sound better than CDs and MP3s. Nobody thinks cassette tapes sound better. Record sleeves were big and had space for fantastic artwork. Cassettes? Well, no. They're even smaller than CD cases and the rectangular format often meant that the album cover would end up being a tiny square with a track listing underneath. And you always knew that eventually your tape would jam. Or stretch. Or be chewed up by your tape player. But for some of us, cassettes and the music we put onto them evoke a certain period in our lives and remain a potent symbol of those times.


Pandemonium Books and Discs is at 2920 Dundas St West. Exclaim magazine just named it one of Toronto's "must visit" record stores!

White Sphinx are a design collective consisting of Finn O'Donnell and Carol Gleason-Rechner (because it's cooler to be a design collective than just using your names). You probably know us from Finn's super cool tshirts, available only at Pandemonium. Clanky, Carol's car, still plays cassettes (but only on road trips).

Mjölk + MSDS

This year Mjölk is partnering up with local design studio MSDS. They are constructing a booth to be placed inside our shop, where we will be selling tasty treats until 11pm, or until it all runs out!

See you Friday!

The Burning Man Festival happens once a year in the middle of the Nevada desert. It's weird and whacky and full of mindblowing art. Photographs taken over three festivals on display Friday night.
