Time
7:00pm - 9:0

Art Metropole and YYZ presented a new publishing initiative at the launch of
deFILE Volume 1, Issue 1
edited by Ron Terada.
The Trading Places Issue will see the insertion of Terada’s deFILE advertisement within a host of national and international art magazines in exchange for an ad of their own design in deFILE – a process of trade, which results in the creation of a conversational loop as mediated through the magazine format.

Free copies are available at the launch only with a coupon available from YYZ or Art Metropole
(in person only, limit one per person).

$5.00 regular edition
$25.00 special signed edition of 50
