About the exhibitions:
*inTENse: 10 years of Teens Behind the Scenes at the AGO*
inTENse: 10 years of teens behind the scenes at the AGO is a
retrospective exhibition featuring some of the great projects created by
the AGO Youth Council and their partners through the years: H.Y.P.E 1, 2
and 3; The Living Room Project, Sew What, The Sound of Art, and Carbon
Copy to name a few.
The show will also feature this year's Council's latest offering:
Underground Sasquatch Protection Network (USPN)
Many moons ago it was prophesized that the meeting place of Toronto on
Turtle Island would house the coming together of the 4 peoples. Today
the Urban Sasquatch Protection Network (USPN) is fulfilling this
prophecy through collaborative video, performance and animation art.
Tune into USPN (broadcasting to you from Planet Indigenous and the Art
Gallery of Ontario) for further updates!
The USPN is a collaboration between the One Nation Unity group at the
Native Canadian Centre of Toronto and the Art Gallery of Ontario's Youth
Council.
*INTENSION: a video residency reflecting on ten years of youth
programming*
Ten years after the official launch of the Teens Behind The Scenes
program at the Art Gallery of Ontario past participants have returned to
create 6 video projects inspired by the transformed AGO.
