reflections in a pseudo-porsche
st james cathedral, toronto, reflected in the hood of an art exhibit fake porsche
In the Toronto Sculpture Garden (a tiny park on King St, that shows one outdoor contemporary exhibit per month by local artists), the current exhibit titled "Upgrade" consists of a used economy sports car (a 1998 Pontiac Sunfire) "converted" with red vinyl skin & imitation leather upholstery into a 2007 Porsche, "an absurdist and economical means of obtaining a desirable and renowned object". The artist, it said, is attempting to address "longing" as a governing force in a consumption-oriented culture. The Sunfire sold, in 1998, for $3,990. A real Porsche sells for $169,500 !
