Mitchell Fenton presents: "BRING ON THE NEXT WAVE"

an outdoor art installation with red outdoor chairs in rings of rocks

Mitchell Fenton presents "Bring On The Next Wave" as part of Rogue Wave 2020, an exhibition of outdoor art installations on Wards Island.

Bring On The Next Wave:  This installation is a lighthearted rearrangement of park amenities reflecting on the year 2020. Park lawn chairs are Covid-19 spaced and high-water resistant with a ring of sandbags around them. Visitors are welcome to enjoy the view from the chairs and perhaps imagine they are flying in formation over Toronto like the Snowbirds!

Rogue Wave 2020: This Toronto Island outdoor exhibition of installation art will run online and on the ground, from September 28 to October 25, 2020. We acknowledge the land we are on is the traditional territory of the Mississauga of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and Wendat Peoples.

About Rogue Wave 2020: In the spirit of rogue waves – unpredictable, causing disruptions, affecting change, and with short notice – we asked artists to devise their own creative response to this theme. The exhibit involves 25-30 artists: professional, emerging and collectives. The works are site-specific, created or re-installed on the Island. Online on Facebook and Instagram there are daily posts featuring a different artist and their project each day.
