Toronto’s largest constructed breakwater is literally built of rubble from the demolished walls of its lost architectural heritage. To see this place as a burial ground provides a moment to mourn our losses. Yet to celebrate it as the material evidence of Toronto’s dramatic post-war urban reconstruction is an opportunity to rediscover the transformation of lake fill into a landscape.

Come see new work by artist & landscape architect Ben Watt-Meyer in collaboration with Friends of the Spit. The show is part of the inaugural Myseum Intersections festival launched by the Myseum of Toronto and coming to many locations around the city in March 2016.
