Trading Floor 1.0

Installation

2021

A flexible, evolving, guilt-free space for young artists and creatives, Trading Floor 1.0 is the prototype for contemporary urban gathering and creative knowledge exchange.As part of my internship at SHEEEP, we worked with New Currency to create a mixed use studio/gallery space in the heart of Toronto's Financial District. Facilitating art shows, film screenings, listening sessions, and more, this first iteration brought together countless young individuals looking for a space of their own.Evolving from investigations into adaptive reuse and building vacancies, we sought to develop a model for the counter-programming of urban spaces and provision of ownership outside of the bounds of capital. This project was also included in Testing Ground journal's 3rd edition: Youthhood.
