OISE D&A exhibit

An exhibition celebrating the design, art and architecture

As the Ontario Institute for the Studies in Education was celebrating its 100th anniversary, the Dominion Modern Museum curated an exhibit celebrating the mid-century brutalist building built to give OISE a permentant home on the Univeristy of Toronto campus. The exhibit examined both the history and how the building was now being used, creating a time capsule showing how the rooms and fixtures have held up (going into non-public areas).

The exhibit panel wall featured three sections: the introduction & history of art, design and architecture of mid-century Ontario; photos from the building's construction; and the time capsule panels, a photographic exploration of the current era OISE building highlighting how the building and fixtures have aged, as well as showing how the building use has evolved.

Each panel was digitially printed on an 11x17 sheet, cropped and mounted on foam core board (finished size of 10.5x16 inches). 56 panels in all were utilized to show the history and modern use, and measured approximately 3.5 feet tall by 19 feet long.
