The Textile Museum of Canada is pleased to launch reDesign 2011.

This summer, 36 leading Toronto artists, designers and architects were involved in a project to redesign and re-imagine Louis XVI-style armchairs, to be sold at silent auction. Proceeds from the sale will support the Textile Museum of Canada's exhibitions, collections and public programs. Please join us for this special gala evening.

Complimentary fine food from Chef Marc Breton, premium beer and wine.

INTERACTIVE. INTERCONNECTED. INTERDISCIPLINARY.

Enter OCAD presents the thesis work of the class of 2010, an eclectic mix of more than 500 graduating students working in twelve undergraduate programs ranging from drawing and painting, printmaking, photography, criticism and curatorial practice, integrated media and sculpture/installation in the Faculty of Art, to advertising, environmental, industrial and graphic design, illustration and material art and design (jewellery, fibre and ceramics) in the university's Faculty of Design. Enter OCAD will transform the university's main building and the acclaimed Sharp Centre for Design into the biggest exhibition of the year.

Neil Gershenfeld has been known to make some bold predictions about the future. But even by his standards, this one was a doozy.

"Twenty years from now," he told a 2006 conference in Berkeley, "we'll have Star Trek replicators that can make anything."

You remember the replicator -- the one that provided Captain Picard with his "cup of Earl Grey tea, hot," with a simple verbal prompt? It might sound like jet-age fantasy, but Gershenfeld was absolutely serious with his reference.

Robert Edmonds is nailing his memories to the wall.

The artist, designer and Main Street fixture hangs the last of the frames of his Fragments in RPM exhibition in Vancouver's Public Lounge Eatery then pours himself a beer. Dozens of moments in music look down on him. It's the first of his solo exhibits in a while, but he's quietly excited about it. He doesn't do solo stuff much.

Fragments in RPM is comprised of screenprinted impressions of vinyl, and in their centres, Edmonds has placed fragments of gig posters he's designed over the past few years. Gomez, Hot Hot Heat, Franz Ferdinand, Flaming Lips, REM, Queens of the Stone Age and Warren Zevon all jam among them.
