photographs of exhibits taken
from YYZ’s archives, art
writing, and art criticism,
as well as recent interviews
with major figures in the
Toronto art community of the
80s to give a more complete
history of YYZ and Toronto’s
art world at that time. As
art critic/curator Philip

Monk remarked in his
interview for the exhibit,
artist-run centres are places
where Canadian art history is
played out. In this sense,
Representations: YYZ in the
80s is not only an online
exhibit archiving the
exhibition history of YYZ,
but is also an important

contribution to Canadian art
history.
