The Art Collective

The Art Collective did several pieces at its Jan. 27, 2006, session that were an homage to The Perm Show which opened that day at the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art in Toronto.

The pieces, which explore issues of fashion, performance and celebrity, were inspired by the invitation card for the show, which can be viewed in our Photos gallery.
MOCCA's Perm Show is a selection of Beauties from the permanent collection of the museum. The exhibition, which is on from Jan. 27 to March 26, 2006, includes work by Montreal artist Holly King, an adviser to The Art Collective who curated part of the group's next show at a special curating session on Feb. 10, 2006.
