Toronto’s fifth annual Luminato festival (June 10 – 19) officially takes off Friday with a raft of intriguing performances but Canadian architect/designer Philip Beesley’s Sargasso is already wowing passersby in the Brookfield Place Allen Lambert Galleria. Commissioned by Luminato, Sargasso refers to the tangled floating masses of organic and inorganic matter that drift in the centre of the Atlantic Ocean. Suspended inside the Santiago Calatrava-designed atrium, Beesley’s vast, feathery canopy sports a variety of layers and materials and also emits sound.
Philip Beesley talks about his work at Chapters (142 John Street) Sunday (June 12) from 12 – 1 pm as part of Luminato’s free Lunchtime Conversations series.
