Koffler Arts invites the community between August 13 - September 3 to contribute to an upcoming exhibition, INTERGALACTIC PLANETARY, by donating their second-hand items to create a brand new installation unique to Toronto, created by renowned contemporary artist, Tracey Snelling on view September 18 - December 14.

We're seeking the following items:

• sci-fi or space-themed posters, magazines, LPs and covers, books – any media in any language!

• small neon signs (hanging, outdoor signage, decorative, etc. of images, words, logos – anything!)  

• LED rope lights (indoor or outdoor as long as they light up!)  

• several mannequins (standing or sitting)

• colourful party wigs

• 1 bed frame

• 1 mattress

• 2 bedside tables

All contributors will receive an invitation to the opening reception of INTERGALATIC PLANETARY on September 18 (with one alcoholic or non-alcoholic drink ticket included), where they can view their contributions brought back to life as part of the exhibition. 

The community can bring their donations to Koffler Arts (180 Shaw St., #104 in Toronto) from August 13 to September 3, Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. or by appointment outside these hours by emailing admin@kofflerarts.org with your name and list of items.

INTERGALACTIC PLANETARY is a blend of different worlds, geographies, people, and perspectives, forming a kind of visual and sonic cacophony through the use of sculpture, photography, video, and installation. It’s a nod to global (or even galactic) unity, and to the idea that despite all the noise and division, we’re more alike than not. This is Snelling’s Canadian debut.
