OVERLEA BRIDGE ART PROPOSAL

82 Overlea Blvd, East York, Toronto, ON M4H 1A4, Canada

MDI worked with José Andrés Mora is a Venezuelan-Canadian artist on his submission to the public art competition for the iconic Overlea Bridge in Toronto. José's design, which MDI helped realize in these renderings, are evocative of the Don River below.  A intricate paving pattern was proposed to span sidewalks on either side of the bridge.


Mora’s current text-based video installations reflect intimate politics of language told through animated text utterances. With a particular focus on experiences around displacement, cultural hybridity, and assimilation, Mora creates display mechanisms that affect the personal connotation of his texts.
