Loss In Lansdowne was a community art project in the Bloor and Lansdowne neighbourhood. For ten days The (OMK) Cathy Gordon Collective took up residency at The Toronto Free Gallery and reached out to the community – asking them to lend items of personal significance around the theme of loss. Two weeks later the project culminated in a neighbourhood garage sale and multimedia exhibition.

The intention is to recreate versions of Loss In Lansdowne in other communities and to slowly build a network of artists and non-artists over time and space. We want to create a home for all the memories of lost people, places, and parts of ourselves, and the objects that represent them. We call this larger project: LOST AND FOUND.

Loss In Lansdowne was made possible with a grant from the Ontario Arts Council: Integrated Arts Program.

The (OMK) Cathy Gordon Collective included Megan Flynn and Jeremy Mimnagh as well as many part-time assistants and local participants.
