An artist-led project space
420 Queen St E Toronto
Join us for a collaborative Open House with Akin Queen East (429 Queen St E) on Saturday October 12, 12-5 PM. Visitors are encouraged to visit both the gallery and Akin's studio spaces to enjoy the full experience.
A phone call bridges the gap between personal experiences and the grim realities that exist on the front lines of the global environmental crisis. A devastating forest fire comes to life. Melancholic melody and wistful lyricism weave into an unsettling crackle, forging together the layers of an uncomfortable and alarming soundscape. Audiences are invited to listen in on both sides of a phone conversation and hear how two extremes, ignorance and unobstructed, inescapable awareness, emerge.
On one end, an individual expresses their excitement and intent to be together with a partner who, amid the crisis, cannot respond. Additional phones surround the seemingly “one-sided” conversation, shedding light on the perspectives between them. A timeless tune cascades through the room, depicting a lover’s plea for connection. This familiar trope is recontextualized, prompting audiences to consider the unseen emotional tolls that hide behind statistics and reports. Explore how distance informs our sense of urgency and apathy towards the environmental crisis. Are you susceptible to disconnection?
Special thanks to Camilie Shiu, Alex Dobson, Nuit Blanche TO, and Nurielle Stern for helping bring this piece to life.
Supported by Toronto Arts Council with funding from the City of Toronto.

The Lost & Found
The Lost & Found is a new artist-led project space providing space for the arts in downtown Toronto, where space is at a premium. We aim to facilitate connections between artists and curators, create exhibition opportunities, and connect artists and communities. We support experimental, non-commercial, and under-represented artistic practices. The Lost & Found was founded by artist Nurielle Stern.
