Milk and Cookies 2010 installation detail from his tower of chrome plated milk crates
I love big artist run site-specific projects. The quality isn't too uneven, a few duds, but more surprises than I expected. Heather Nicol's sound & light piece, In the Trenches, is exquisite and makes great use of a small arched opening that reads as a gravestone made out of negative space. (no photo will do it justice).
Paulette Philips' Bridge of Sighs is another jewel that can't be photographed well enough to post here. (I tried)
R.M. Vaughan previewed the exhibition for the Globe and Mail.
And if you like your art info sprinkled with adorably clueless doe-eyed wonder, check out VOCA's post for such treasues as

"... it seems that performance and related interdisciplinary works have replaced painting, sculpture and drawing – even ‘conceptual’ works – as the art form du jour."
"Curator Heather Nicol has decided to blend the three into a three-day installation and performance-dominated exhibition"
Re: "sprinkles of adorably clueless doe eyed wonder"
Q: Should VOCA be more critical?
A: No, VOCA should get a bong and some Listerine...
