Preview and online shop will be released soon…

Running alongside the new works selected for PIN UP, Mercer Union will feature a special exhibition of Toronto gig posters drawn from guest curator Michael Parke-Taylor's extensive collection. This show provides a rare opportunity to peak into the former AGO Curator of Modern Art's personal archive of paste-up print design. The selection offers an eclectic index of posters for famous and not-so-famous musical acts who have performed in Toronto over the last fifteen years.
