Awakenings    present   four   raw   and   unedited    urban locations as creative  works : public, multileveled,  formed without  conscious   aesthetic   concern,    accessible   to  everyone.   Each   Awakening  location  has  an  intensely pronounced   identity, composed  of exciting and  varied    chance     juxtapositions     of    order    and     provocative spontaneity.

Occurring  in   Toronto  from  1969  - 1971,   the   projects represent  archetypal  situations   present  in  most   large urban centers.  In  defining  and documenting  Awakening  locations  and  events,  nothing   is  adjusted,  installed  or programmed.   Change   is  the  defining   quality  of   the spaces,  which are altered   in   subtle   and  often   drastic ways  by  human  intervention   and  in  accordance  with   the  laws  of  time, chance, and nature.

Each  Awakening  is documented  with approximately:    15  8"x10"  silver prints,  25 colour  transparencies,  films, maps of locations.
