ABSTRACT

This article focuses on an exhibition entitled House/Home-an exhibition about Strachan House. The exhibition was mounted in the spring of 1999 in the Photo Passage at Harbourfront Centre in Toronto, and was part of the third annual Toronto’s Festival of Photography, known as Contact ’99, featuring more than 130 exhibitions and educational programs. Harbourfront Centre itself is a very high profile cultural, educational and recreational center in Toronto and presents hundreds of events and activities to the public annually. Latest attendance figures cited over 4 million visitors yearly. At the time of writing this chapter, arrangements were being made to have the exhibition tour several other galleries at design institutions, and the exhibition was to be donated to the collection of the City of Toronto Archives (Figure 11.1).
