David Liss, curator of Sybil Goldstein / URBAN MYTHS, leads a guided walkthrough of this unique legacy exhibition. He shares insights about his process of selecting specific artworks to hang from a collection of over a thousand artworks, and how the exhibition brings Goldstein’s previously unseen art to the public, celebrating her important contribution to Toronto’s cultural history as a co-founder of ChromaZone Collective (1981-1986) and a teacher.
