From Earl Miller:
Already known for his Nuit Blanche night events and installations, this year O'Donnell has mounted four illuminated signs in nearby store windows displaying the official City of Toronto logo, each rendered with a small spelling mistake: the word "Toronto" spelled as "Tornoto," "Torotno," "Tonroto," and "Tortonto." The piece hilariously raises key critical questions concerning Toronto's identity. Is, for instance, Toronto's flaunting of its "world class" status a mistake?

Locations: Jeans West, 465 Queen St. West; Freshly Baked Tees, 550 Queen St. West; Outer Layer, 577 Queen St. West; West Camera, 514 Queen St. West
