Sargasso

The Luminato Festival 2011 was here in Toronto June 10th - 19th. It was a 'free creativity' thing for all of Toronto. Stages and theatres all over Toronto being for free and ticketed events.

I went to the Allen Lambert Gallery, I go there a lot, to find out about Sargasso. Philip Beesley, the architect, was commissioned by Luminato to install the 'vast, tangled masses of living matter and cast-out material that drifts at the centre' and blooms the in atrium of the glass and sky. "A visionary architectural pioneer creates a responsive landscape to infuse one of downtown's busiest spaces with astonishing new life".

And that's all I have to say... It is beautiful.
