The exhibition has been organized by the Toronto design firm Motherbrand in conjunction with the Gardiner Museum. Motherbrand is also sponsoring a lecture at the Gardiner Museum on January 24th by Cynthia Hathaway, a Canadian artist who often uses the strategies of copying and sampling in her work. The exhibition and lecture are both associated with the Toronto International Design Festival, which will take place from January 21 to 24, 2010.
