Project GUNK is named for "junk" and for "gomi" a Japanese word for "dust" and "garbage." This exhibition explores and exposes our wasteful material culture by giving attention to the forgotten or dismissed. The artists aim to develop an alternative to Toronto's current "continuum" within the landscape of the city. Click here to view the Project GUNK video.
