trans/FORM

The current group exhibition trans/FORM: Matter as Subject > New Perspectives at MOCCA (Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art) is definitely one of the best shows I have seen in Toronto so far this year.  As indicated in the title and subtitle of the exhibition, this show focuses on materials with an open attitude of experimentation.  It's a proud showcase of the latest local artistic endeavours.
