滨水商业改善区

2004年成立的滨水商业改善区（WBIA）回应了商界的迫切需求。多伦多的WBIA是一个以社区为导向的组织，致力于促进和提高滨水区的经济和文化活力。WBIA每年欢迎1700万游客，服务区内有57121人，并持续迅速发展。该地区68％的居民年龄在45岁以下。与多数多伦多BIA相比，滨水商业改善区是一个全方位服务的住宅区和旅游胜地，致力于改善滨水区域和新建行人专用长廊。通过营销推广、特别活动、街景气氛、战略规划和宣传活动等宣传，WBIA保持着其作为多伦多首要目的地之一的地位。WBIA一直是2011年、2013年、2014年和2015年多伦多商业改善领域协会（TABIA）颁奖典礼的获奖者，以及2015年获得国际市区协会（IDA）的市区优异奖和2016年国民会议中的荣誉奖。欲了解更多信息，请访问www.waterfrontbia.com


海滨中心

在过去的40年里，海滨中心已成为加拿大最大的国际当代艺术发起人之一，也是世界领先的多学科艺术机构之一。在所有创意学科中展示当代加拿大艺术家，并把他们的工作放置在一个广阔的国际背景下，我们坚定地致力于卓越的艺术、当代艺术、新兴艺术家，培养学科间文化艺术的交流。我们还通过一系列户外和海滨相关的活动和产品，充分利用我们的优势。欲了解更多信息，请访问http://www.harbourfrontcentre.com/。


主题

第二届Ice Breaker的主题是“星座”。这可以从多方面解释，但我们希望看到有挑战性的工作，我们需要展现给公众的是，公共艺术也可以是有趣和具有参与性的。艺术家可以选择与北半球的冬季星座进行对话，探索占星学、神话、历史、恒星形态和地球表象等相关领域问题。

与往常一样，其目的是为了给滨水边缘带来色彩、气氛和活动，引导人们走出建筑，沿着海滨散步，欣赏独特的多伦多风景。


公共艺术机会

WinterStations有限公司正在邀请艺术家们为2018年的Ice Breakers创作临时公共艺术设施。有五个地点可供选择，代表五个公共艺术表现的机会。

这些地点已经与Waterfront BIA、多伦多公园、林业和娱乐，以及海滨中心选定合作，确定了具有可见度高、行人流通、有限的限制以及其他属性，如摄影条件和相对接近交通、居民和其他艺术品地点。


地点

位置1 -We Brew Cafe
安大略广场位于皇后区码头西部235号，是一个室外场地，也是海滨中心的一部分。广场以东是展览馆。具体的艺术品装置设置在北部边缘前面平坦的草坪上。

位置2 - Simcoe Wave Deck
皇后区码头西部243 号的Simcoe Wave甲板是一个城市景观，设置了一条2.6米高的曲线板。其西部部分为安装提供了相对平坦的区域。

位置3 - HTO 公园东面
位置3位于皇后区码头西部339号，在Peter Street Slip前，是Ice Breakers展览中心的地点。具体来说，这个地方是公园内沿着海岸线设立的三角沙滩。它坐落在靠近岛上的机场附近，几乎在水的边缘。公众将可以到达该地区，通过装置产生更好的视觉体验。

位置4 - Peter Street Basin/Maple Leaf Quay
枫叶码头位于皇后区码头西部370号。艺术品所在地位于桥梁跨越盆地的北侧，包括桥梁两侧的背面。

位置5 - HTO公园西面
位置5位于皇后区码头西部339号，Maple Leaf Quay的东部，是Ice Breakers展览的中心。具体来说，这个地方是公园内沿着海岸线在遮阳伞下的三角沙滩。它坐落在靠近岛上的机场附近，几乎在水的边缘。公众将可以到达该地区，通过装置产生更好的视觉体验。注意：海滩上的遮阳伞全年保留。

五个位置的照片可以在“资源”页面找到。

After a successful inaugural year, Ice Breakers is returning to Toronto’s Waterfront. The Waterfront BIA has again enlisted WinterStations Inc. to bring five temporary, public art installations to various sights between Bathurst St. and Yonge St. for five weeks, commencing February 03, 2018.

Project Sponsors
WinterStations Inc.
WinterStations Inc. is a not-for-profit organization, co-founded, in 2014, by Roland Rom Colthoff (RAW Design Inc. architects), Ted Merrick (Ferris + Associates landscape architects), and Justin Ridgeway (curio, public art consulting).

The Waterfront Business Improvement Area
The Waterfront Business Improvement Area (WBIA), established in 2004, is the voice of the business community. Toronto’s WBIA is a community-driven organization dedicated to promoting and enhancing the economic and cultural vitality of the Waterfront area. The WBIA welcomes 17 million visitors annually with a service area population of 57,121 and growing rapidly. 68% of the area’s residents are under the age of 45. Unlike most Toronto BIAs, the Waterfront is both a full-service residential area and a tourist destination, committed to improving the Waterfront area and new pedestrian-friendly promenade. Through marketing and promotion, special events, streetscape enhancement, strategic planning and advocacy initiatives, the WBIA continues to secure its position as one of Toronto’s premier destinations. The Waterfront BIA has been the proud recipient of the Toronto Association of Business Improvement Areas (TABIA) Awards in 2011, 2013, 2014 and 2015, as well as the 2015 Downtown Merit Award from the International Downtown Association (IDA) and the Award of Distinction from the 2016 BIA National Conference Awards. For more information, visit www.waterfrontbia.com

Harbourfront Centre
Over the past 40 years, Harbourfront Centre has emerged as one of the largest presenters of international contemporary arts in Canada, and one of the world’s leading multidisciplinary arts institutions. In showcasing contemporary Canadian artists in all creative disciplines, and placing their work within a broad international context, we maintain steadfast commitment to artistic excellence, contemporary arts, emerging Canadian artists, and fostering artistic exchange between disciplines and cultures. We also leverage our unique location through a range of outdoor and waterfront-related activities and offerings. For more information, visit http://www.harbourfrontcentre.com/.

Theme
For Ice Breaker’s second year the theme is “Constellation”. This can be interpreted in various ways, but we are hoping to see work that is challenging, while also accessible, reminding the public that public art can be fun and engaging. Artists may choose to converse with the winter constellations of the Northern Hemisphere, playing with astrology, mythology, history and with stellar form and earthly representation.
As always, the intention is to bring colour, warmth and activity to the water’s edge, inviting people out of their buildings to take a winter walk along the waterfront and appreciate the unique Toronto landscape at this time of year.

Public Art Opportunity
WinterStations Inc. is asking Artists to develop temporary public art installations for Ice Breakers 2018. Five locations are available, representing five public art opportunities.
These locations have been selected in collaboration with The Waterfront BIA, Toronto Parks, Forestry and Recreation and the Harbourfront Centre after identifying sites with high visibility, pedestrian traffic, limited constraints, as well as other attributes, such as photograph opportunities and relative proximity to transit, residents and the other artwork locations.

Locations
Location 1 – We Brew Cafe
Ontario Square, located at 235 Queens Quay West, is an outdoor venue and part of the Harbour Front Centre. To the east of the square is Exhibition Common. The specific artwork location is on the flat turf surface in front of the We Brew Cafe near the northern edge of the Common.

Location 2 – Simcoe Wave Deck
Located at 243 Queens Quay West, the Simcoe Wave deck is an urban landscape feature, including a 2.6 metre tall curve. Its western portion provides a relatively flat area for an installation.

Location 3 – HTO Park East
Site Three is located at 339 Queens Quay West, on the former Peter Street Slip, a location central to the Ice Breakers exhibition. Specifically, the site is the triangular sand beach under the umbrellas, within the park, along the shoreline. It lies in close visual proximity to the island airport and is almost on the water’s edge. The public will have access to the area, allowing for both visual and physical interaction with the installation.

Location 4 – Peter Street Basin/Maple Leaf Quay
Maple Leaf Quay is located at 370 Queens Quay West. The artwork site is the northern side of the bridge spanning the basin, and includes set-back promontories on either side of the bridge.

Location 5 – HTO Park West
Site Five is located at 339 Queens Quay West, the eastern portion of Maple Leaf Quay, a location central to the Ice Breakers exhibition. Specifically, the site is the triangular sand beach under the umbrellas, within the park, along the shoreline. It lies in close visual proximity to the island airport and is almost on the water’s edge. The public will have access to the area, allowing for both visual and physical interaction with the installation. Note: the umbrellas remain throughout the year.

Photos of the five locations may be found under the “Resources” page.
General Site Notes and Constraints
Toronto Parks, Forestry and Recreation has not identified any constraints at this time, but will be consulted throughout the design development process.
Snow will not be removed during the winter within this area.
There will be no Electricity, water or plumbing to the sites. Solar Power is not allowed due to possibility of vandalism. Fire cannot be part of the submission.
