Who: John Notten

Where: Arnell Plaza (Bay Adelaide Centre, 333 Bay)

Why: John Notten constructs what appears to be a condo presentation centre that promises great views and a hip lifestyle, but once inside you find yourself isolated under a head-sized tent, gazing out on a refugee-camp-like panorama of other tents. To recreate the experience of the 2002 evictions at Tent City, a homeless community on derelict waterfront land, the local high school teacher/installation artist/camping enthusiast forces you to move out of your tent every few minutes.
