Feature premiered its four-day fair on 23 October, as a somewhat smaller yet more sophisticated alternative to the Toronto International Art Fair (TIAF). The TD Bank sponsored event showcased no more than two dozen Canadian galleries, cherry picked by Montreal based AGAC (Association des Galeries d’Art Contemporain) to present some of the most forward thinking artists in the region. Inside the main rehearsal spaces of the Canadian Opera Company – a free-standing 10,000 square feet interior in a historic building of downtown Toronto – each exhibitor presented a maximum of three artists, laid out within wide-angled walls that blurred the threshold between the fair corridors and gallery booths. Feature’s limited selection did however reflect the country’s main cultural hubs by keeping to contemporary galleries from Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver, with the exception of Patrick Mikhail in Ottawa.
