The boat left us off right at the old Power Plant, now an art gallery. We had a great time at an installation of interactive work by Franz Erhard Walter it was a little high concept for me. You walk into a room with a lot of folded canvas cloth in piles. The idea is that you open the piled fabric out and then interact with it, creating new shapes that change and occupy spce in different new ways. Four kids did a better job of letting go and enjoying it than the adults:
Next we headed West to the Toronto Music Garden, designed by Yo-Yo Ma and Julie Moir Messervy. It has six sections, each one a reflection of a movement in the Bach Cello Suite no. 1. A really lovely refuge. We sat for a while on a comfy bench and listened to the Suite on Linda's iPhone. Ah yes, vacation mode definitely kicking in now.....
