to a "PechaKuchaNight"....a series of presenters get 20 slides and 20 seconds on each slide to discuss, projects, current work, inspirations, objects etc. Last night a wide range of topics were presented from the Barcelona chair, traffic cones of the world, interior design and photography.....the organizers were expecting around 30....which was quickly doubled and then some as the evening got underway.....PechaKucha was devised in Tokyo in 2003 as a networking social meeting place for people in the cultural industries....as I witnessed last night it is more a celebration of ideas, people and culture........I'm looking forward to the next one....
I went to a similar thing in Singapore once...good to know Toronto is on its way! I like the elegance in the mundane.
