This Unique (And Free) Art Exhibit Is Toronto’s Most Instagrammable Spot

If you’ve been on Instagram lately, you’ve probably already seen a ton of stylish pictures taken in front of a mysterious construction in Toronto. The construction called “Unzipped Toronto” is located on King West and represents the neighborhood’s future.

This massive interactive installation was designed by the Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) as part of an annual architectural program at the Serpentine Galleries in London.  The structure has been made of 1,802 fibreglass ‘blocks’ that create a wall at the top, which undulates to the bottom.

“Unzipped” stands at 14 metres (46 feet) tall, 12 metres (39 feet) wide, and 27 metres (88.5 feet) long and represents large-scale models of 10 Westbank projects.

The temporary exhibit is free to the public and will stay open until November 2018. Book free tickets at unzippedtoronto.com and don’t forget to bring your camera.

“Unzipped” exhibit: “The temporary Pavilion made of 1802 stacked fibre glass boxes. The “unzipped wall” is a play on one of the most basic elements of architecture: the brick wall. Rather than clay bricks or stone blocks, the wall is constructed from extruded fibre glass frames stacked on top of each other.” . . . . . . . . . . . . #photooftheday #torontolife #instagood #citylife #6ix #torontophoto #architecture #blogto #tdot #instamood #toronto #canada #unzipped #unzippedtoronto
