Let’s Talk: Disposability
Saturday, January 28 – 11am to 1pm – Gladstone Ballroom
Since 2009, CUTMR has hosted a series of talks by artists and designers. Our first talk, The Origin of the Designer!, featured talks by participating artists and designers Andra Hayward, Andrew MacDonald, Jeremy Hatch, Studio Junction and Derrick Hodgson, as they tried to answer big questions about bringing themselves into designer “existence” and surviving in the field. In 2010, Thrive Design for 100%! explored how to bring design to 100% of the community, so that everyone can have access to good design. Last year, CUTMR Design Talks asked the organizer’s of Toronto Design Offsite (TO DO) shows: What to do? Representatives from MADE at HOME, Capacity, Tools and CUTMR reflect on this question, anticipating what’s next in Toronto design, design communities, exhibition making, collaboration, and more.
The theme of this year’s design talks, Let’s Talk, is DISPOSABILITY. Taken in its broadest, strictest, object-oriented or ephemeral sense, these talks explore disposable, ubiquitous objects and the reactionary repurposing of such objects, while also investigating abstracted notions of disposability.

CUTMR is a part of Toronto Design Offsite!
CUTMR is excited to be a part of the second year of Toronto Design Offsite (TO DO).
TO DO is a comprehensive guide to exhibitions and events happening across the city during Toronto Design Week. Formed by an association of several ‘offsite’ shows, all of our exhibitions and events feature and promote the best in new, Canadian practices – not only the art and design within each show, but also the ways they are organized, curated and produced – as well as contemporary international design.
