GO O GLE ART S & C ULTURE

Launched in November 2019, this app allows digital access to a range of arts and cultural institutions, from London’s dramatic Mithraeum Bloomberg SPACE to The Frick Collection art museum in New York. Expect expert digital guides to the exhibits along with audiovisual commentary from artists and curators. You can even head outdoors virtually for an immersive tour of Manhattan’s Central Park buildings and monuments and learn about the early-19th-century residents who owned property at the park’s edge. Of special note at The Frick — “Cocktails with a Curator,” a themed series on Fridays with curators sharing insights on artworks while sipping a bevvy with the viewer — remotely, of course.

Free for smartphone (iOS only).

This fun and functional app has something for everyone, with its catalogue of 2,000+ museums, galleries and artworks in 80 countries, including The British Museum in London, the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam and the Ohara Museum of Art in Kurashiki, Japan. Locate a favourite piece of art and zoom in to get up close and personal or visit the augmented-reality gallery to project 3-D models into your own world. Test out the app’s other impressive tools — Art Projector (to display works, gallery-style, in your home), Art Transfer (to transform your personal photos into classic art pieces) and Art Selfie (to find your doppelgänger by browsing famous portrait paintings). Art Zoom, a user favourite, offers audiovisual tours with celebrities as your guides — say, FKA twigs, Matty Healy and Canadians Feist and Grimes.

Free for smartphone, tablet (iOS, Android).

MUSÉE DE BEAUX-ARTS SAN FRANC IS C O MUSEUM OF MODERN DE MONTRÉAL A RT (S FMO MA)

A virtual visit to this iconic art museum in Paris includes guided tours of its permanent collection as well as temporary exhibits such as the riotously coloured Observatory of Light (2016–17) by conceptual artist Daniel Buren and, more recently, a retrospective of photographer-filmmaker Cindy Sherman, known for her enigmatic social-critique self-portraits. Architecture buffs are invited to soar for the bird’s-eye view of the Frank Gehry–designed structure and listen to audio commentary from its builders. For those who prefer their feet on terra firma and their app Calm, the Getaway Tour promises a relaxing visit with a soothing voice to guide them through the permanent collection, explaining philosophical messages behind each work.

Free for smartphone (iOs, Android).

At 170,000 square feet, the SFMOMA is one of the largest art museums in the U.S., which makes an in-person visit overwhelming. Its new Audio app provides a pleasant, more manageable alternative. Opt for the 15-to-45-minute “immersive walks” with engaging commentary from a diverse range of voices that include not just artists and curators, but also dancers, musicians, TV personalities and even baseball players.

Free for smartphone, tablet (iOS, Android).

Almost like being there, the app designed for the Musée de beaux-arts de Montréal combines practical information related to live gallery visits with in-depth virtual tours of current exhibitions and the permanent collection. The virtual tour allows visitors to “walk” through the rooms self-guided, while the musical audio guide enhances a pop into the Hornstein Pavilion for Peace with its focus on international art. Explore the Jean-Paul Riopelle exhibition “The Call of Northern Landscapes and Indigenous Cultures,” which runs until May 2, 2021. Free for smartphone, tablet (iOS, Android).

SIMPLIFIED SKINCARE Beauty entrepreneur and avid traveller Susanne Langmuir reveals the places that have left lasting impressions. By Lesa Hannah

I

n November 2019, Susanne Langmuir launched her new skincare line, aN-hydra, from her 1,800-square-foot lab in Toronto’s west end. It was a return to the beauty scene after a two-year break since selling Bite Beauty, the lip-focused line she created in 2011, to Kendo, the beauty incubator division of LVMH. Her new concept (the product name is a play on “anhydrous,” meaning “free from water”) is centred around sustainability, beginning with a powder cleanser that’s waterless (no need for preservatives) and also refillable. It was “a bit of a test launch,” she recalls, since the idea was novel and required explaining to the consumer.

And then, a few months later, the pandemic hit.

“It was less than ideal, but I think it was an opportunity to slow down,” Langmuir says. “I have a business that is very flexible and because we were already online, that was something we embraced even more.” She cancelled some of her brand’s initiatives but continued to spend time formulating new products. Grounded from her usual six to ten trips a year, she started taking better care of her skin, stopped “worrying so much about dressing perfectly” and learned how to bake bread — “a soothing experience [and] gratifying in every way.”

Covid-19 has also affected the beauty industry, Langmuir notes, because the majority of women have toned down their makeup. “Even on Zoom calls, most people are looking comfortable in their own skin.” She predicts that this shift will continue, post-pandemic, and could even become permanent.

More people will be working from home and lives will be pared down. Women are opting to look “a little bit less done,” makeup-wise, she says, and the amount of beauty products they use have been edited down. “[The product] has to be really good and make you feel good for it to make the cut.”

Clean-beauty advocate Susanne Langmuir embraces WFA in west end Toronto, where she formulates her waterless aN-hydra product line.

01 AN-HYDRA In addition to a cleanser, Microbiome, Langmuir’s skincare line offers Hyaluronic Hydrator and Powder-C Brightener, both also activated by a few drops of water. The brand’s newest launch is The Lip Fix (in grapefruit, mint, lavender or chai tea), a lip balm that utilizes a formula Langmuir herself has been using for the longest time. “It’s unbelievably soothing, and right now is the time for daily indulgences that provide comfort and care.” The formula has lanolin and beeswax — ingredients currently being avoided by many brands eager to label their products as vegan.

“I’m going against the grain, but nothing works as well [as lanolin and beeswax].” For Langmuir, what matters is that her ingredients are cruelty-free and sourced sustainably. an-hydra.com

02 T H E DE TOX M A R K E T Langmuir is a fan of this clean-beauty retail destination for reasons beyond its commitment to sustainability and safe ingredients. “They support so many indie brands and have incredibly high standards,” she explains. “Their assortment is curated and hard to find elsewhere in Toronto.” Among her recent purchases is the Crystal Contour Gua Sha rose quartz beauty tool by California-based Odacité. “You don’t have to be an expert to use it,” she says of the facial massager.

03 IC H I R A N S H I N J U KU “It’s impossible not to be captivated by Tokyo,” says Langmuir. “Unlike most populous cities, Tokyo is unique because it is possible [here] to carve out a personal, quiet experience in a single day — enjoy bustling streets as well as peaceful gardens.

Everything is purposeful and carefully considered.” Her favourite place for a meal is Ichiran. The popular 24/7 ramen chain has vending machines at the entrance that let you order and pay, then take a seat in a booth that’s like a confessional box in a church. “It’s inexpensive, delicious and quite an experience!” 6F Peace Building, B1F, 3 Chome 34-11, Shinjuku, Tokyo; en.ichiran.com/index.php

Langmuir had the island of Corsica for awhile on her wish list of places to visit, so when a friend suggested travelling there, she jumped at the chance. “Rustic, sophisticated, uncomplicated — Corsica is remarkably beautiful,” she enthuses. “Food and scenery take centre stage over shopping here, as do the beaches. It’s one of those places [where] a glass of rosé with lunch makes perfect sense.” She dined several times at A Suliata in the town of Bonifacio on Corsica. “It has a beautiful view of Maora beach and the food was outstanding — a real gem!” Route de Sant’Amanza, Bonifacio, Corsica, France; +33 6 29 47 51 65

05 LE BON MARCHÉ Founded in 1852, Le Bon Marché was the first department store in the world. It has something for everyone from ready-to-wear by world-class designers to gourmet cheeses and wines at La Grande Épicerie. “I can get lost in there for an entire day finding new things from my favourite brands, like Celine and Givenchy, and discovering new ones I didn’t know about.” Langmuir always heads to the gigantic beauty hall. “It has the most incredible trademark escalators domed by [engineer-architect] Gustave Eiffel’s classic glass roof. I like to stock up on Diptyque Smoothing Body Polish, essentials from Annick Goutal, and a candle or two.”

WAKE UP CALL

Sustainability advocate Elizabeth Cabral makes a demand for change.

By Chris Taylor

C

anada-born, New York City–based Elizabeth Cabral has been a pioneering voice in conscious and sustainable fashion for more than 20 years. A former stylist and fashion director, Cabral is a founding partner in the fashion sector of advocacy groups sustainChain and the US Coalition on Sustainability where she advises consumer brands on minimizing their global corporate footprint while maximizing their efforts to promote sustainable fashion initiatives.

WHAT ARE THE BIGGEST OBSTACLES TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO SUSTAINABLY APPROACH FASHION?

Most of us live in urbanized habitats in which our day-to-day life is not immediately impacted by the effects of the climate crisis. As a result, we can’t see or feel the consequences of our unsustainable consumer choices. Most of us don’t live near rivers that have seen death by toxic waste, we don’t see the accumulative garbage brought in by the tide in coastal communities, and many of us are not witness to the extreme poverty and exploitation of the human beings making our fast-fashion clothes. We have been conditioned to prioritize commerce, convenience and consumption over the protection of our planet and its people.

HOW HAS COVID-19 CHANGED THE QUEST FOR SUSTAINABILITY

The pandemic has put immediate climate action on pause as we deal with other crises such as health and social justice issues. On the flip side, we have an opportunity for a massive reset in industries — such as fashion and similar consumer products — which have been forced to hit ‘pause.’ In some cases, systems and

infrastructures have now broken down and these brands are saying, “We need to do better, and since we are re-imagining our supply chains and distribution, we want to do it better in a way that is mindful of environmental and social issues.”

IS CANADA EMERGING AS A LEADER IN SUSTAINABILITY?

Canada still has a lot of work to do compared to advancements and initiatives in other countries in Europe. Canada has been slow to adopt lowcarbon energy, and globally it’s ranked pretty poorly in its contribution to greenhouse gases and emissions. What’s more, Canada is not currently on track to meet its 2030 climate goals of reducing emissions by 30 percent. There have been some encouraging targets set by the current administration, but it has not yet been translated to action.

WHAT ARE SOME CHANGES WE CAN DO TO BECOME MORE “SUSTAINABLE” CONSUMERS?

First, make informed choices — research the brands and companies you support — and if they’re not talking about their sustainability initiatives, they’re likely not doing anything about it. Second, leverage your consumer power carefully. If we support only sustainability-minded companies, we will see those succeed and the bad actors disappear.

Third, buy intentionally. Think before you buy something and be mindful about only accumulating things you really need or really love.

The rate at which we discard material goods is exponential compared to only a few decades ago. All that waste has to go somewhere and our planet literally can’t handle it.

Monsters are real.

They’re not always hiding under your bed or lurking in the closet.

Some monsters grab a hold of you, and never let go.

This monster is known as type 1 diabetes (T1D). And it stays with you, spoiling even the simplest moments in life. Unfortunately, the monster is always there. And it always will be until we find a cure.

The T1D monster affects everyone. That’s why JDRF has been working tirelessly on a bold and innovative plan to defeat the monster, once and for all.

And with your help, we’ll get there sooner than you think.

THE GREAT ESCAPE Real-estate brokers explain why the quest for more space has buyers heading to the suburbs. By John Crossingham

I

t’s 2021 and with the world still grappling with the Covid-19 pandemic, the suburbs are being seen as a haven from the city’s clamour and close quarters — value-laden, wide-open spaces with increasing appeal. A move out to the ’burbs has always been a personal choice, but with urban density reaching new heights, figuratively and literally, many residents in Canada’s largest cities are finding that trading in a busy city home for a quieter one is a decidedly smart decision.

VANCOUVER

The suburbs of Vancouver, among the most expensive cities in Canada for owning property, have become not a choice but, at times, actually the only option for homeowners coveting a larger footprint. Even then, the classic suburban dream can remain just that.

Instead of the traditional suburban house,

14

buyers are being offered an alternative. “We’re seeing a townhome development sprawl, which provides for more affordability, allowing everyday people to upsize from a condo to a more inviting home,” says Shazhil Karim, Senior Vice-President of Sales at Sotheby’s International Realty Canada. “Quite simply, affordability has broken away from the ‘big lawn, driveway and white picket fence’ cliché.”

Those seeking more interior and exterior space can expect standard four to five bedrooms, sizable mud rooms and basement entrances that lead into separate living quarters, plus plenty of space for outdoor toys like ATVs, Jet Skis and canoes.

And contrary to popular belief, going suburban isn’t about compromising one’s social calendar. “The general [thinking is] that amenities will be more spread out or will not be as upscale as urban living,” Karim points out. “But this gap is closing in suburban com-

munities such as Port Moody Centre, South Surrey–White Rock and Tsawwassen, which now offer what was once only found in urban centres. Craft breweries, coffee shops, gyms, restaurants, hair studios and nail salons are migrating and making it easier for consumers to relocate to a suburban environment.”

Neighbourhoods like North Vancouver, Port Moody and North Burnaby have standalone homes that average $1.5 million to $1.6 million, with townhouses going for $650,000 to $1 million. But, like so many big markets, patience, awareness and timing are key.

“It’s really about understanding a buyer’s budget, then narrowing desirable neighbourhoods based on the family’s needs, lifestyle and goals,” notes Karim. “The [worst] oversights are moving [the buyer] too far away from their loved ones in an effort to get more value or not knowing [the buyer’s] true budget.”

CITY LIMITS

CALGARY

Having gone through a period of transition over the past decade — moving from oil to tech and health care–based markets — Calgary remains chock full of cultural amenities and new developments, all surrounded by nature.

And while the city slowly recovers from its reliance on oil, the current economic uncertainty is a gold mine for home purchasers.

“The buying opportunities across all product types and geographic areas in Calgary are significant,” says Barb Richardson, Senior Vice President of Sales at Sotheby’s. “A typical two-bedroom, two-bath condo in a newer concrete build in Calgary would be in the $350,000 range. In Toronto or Vancouver, that would be at least double. The same applies for larger estate homes in suburbs like Springbank and Bearspaw.”

Calgary also offers buyers the expected suburban bonuses — large lots, two-to-threecar garages — and with upgrades over yesteryears. “The biggest difference is probably the amenities and, in some cases, almost ‘mini-town cores’ within the city,” notes Richardson. “McKenzie Towne is a great example and there are others — not just big-box shops but ‘small-town feel’ centres.”

The city’s range of available homes is broad, from new developments to older bungalows and established communities. The result is a variety of price points. Recently built attached homes in southwest communities like Killarney and Glamorgan go from $600,000 to $800,000.

Meanwhile, on Calgary’s west side, family homes are in the $650,000–$850,000 range. Moving up to new luxury builds in Aspen Woods and West Springs, expect prices to head upwards, to $1 million up to $1.5 million.

In addition to the transitioning economy, Richardson reports that many desirable neighbourhoods — such as Signal Hill, Springbank Hill, Crestmont, Valley Ridge, Cougar Ridge and Strathcona Park — have remained f lat in value for many years. “I believe these communities are well poised to appreciate with new transportation options, and the number of homes being renovated or rebuilt will allow buyers to take advantage of such fantastic locations.”

large driveways and urban sprawl. People want space and the suburbs are here for them.”

Some communities like Burlington and Oakville — which offer close proximity to both Toronto and the Niagara region, as well as lake access and countless nature trails — rank among the top places in Canada to live in, according to Quattrociocchi.

Not surprisingly, good value doesn’t remain a secret for long. “The recent trend to move out of the city has only pushed values higher here,” she says. “Milton and Halton Hills are now seeing this trend as well.” A typical detached home in coveted Oakville communities such as Bronte and River Oaks will cost around $1.3 million.

Quattrociocchi lauds the community vibe in the suburbs but recommends buyers to be cautious.

While a house may look grand on the outside, keep in mind that you should always be concerned with what’s inside. “Pay attention to the details of a listing,” she advises. “For example, you wouldn’t have to worry about a home in Toronto with a septic tank. But there are areas as close as Mississauga where homes are still on a septic system. Even if you have a city agent you trust, get a local agent’s perspective — they have the inside scoop on the communities and what is going on.”

MONTREAL

Not all trends are meant to be followed, of course, and Montreal is a city that moves to its own beat. According to Liza Kaufman, Certified Real Estate Broker and founding partner at Sotheby’s

International Realty Québec, buyers are digging in and investing in the city. This means popular neighbourhoods like Mount Royal and Westmount remain among the city’s most desirable.

And with a median value still less than half that in Toronto or Vancouver, market growth in the City of Saints is bound to increase.

Montreal’s geography as an island city also contributes to this desire to stay put, with its rivers creating a natural barrier against migration. There’s also the well-apportioned collection of renowned universities, hospitals and other amenities that make Montreal living so irreplaceable off-island.

But then, last August, the city witnessed the record sale of a Mount Royal Park home for $18 million and real estate exploded. “Montreal has become the new place internationally for people to invest in,” explains Kaufman. “Whether [they’re] escaping pressures economic or political, I’m fielding calls from America, across Europe and beyond.”

According to the Quebec Professional Association of Real Estate Brokers (QPAREB), Montreal’s new boom extends beyond the metropolitan area with home sales increasing 31 percent in suburban regions. Buyers are looking at these regions as alternatives, making a purchase of a larger or a second home outside the city core a foreseeably sound investment.

TORONTO

Perhaps no Canadian city exemplifies the suburban exodus like Toronto. Surrounded by a tumbling sprawl of communities that fringe Lake Ontario east and west (as well as to the north), this city offers nearly limitless options tailored to every budget.

CREATURE COMFORTS Amy Rosen — food writer, cookbook author and the brains behind Rosen’s Cinnamon Buns — takes us on an olfactory journey of contentment and memory.

A

few years back I interviewed three gifted “noses” — a chef, a perfumer and a sommelier — while researching the link between scent and memory.

The chef was Grant Achatz of Alinea, a three-Michelin-star restaurant in Chicago, who shared this particularly evocative memory from his childhood. He’s 12 years old and raking leaves on a warm day in September on the tree-lined street of his family’s home in Michigan. He collects the leaves into towering piles, jumps in and then reclines amid the multicoloured mess. Lying on his back, he takes in the azure sky and gentle breezes along with the rich aroma of earthy decay and of smoke from the leaves burning in neighbours’ yards.

Etched in memory, these smells are, for Achatz, the essence of autumn.

It’s a vivid recollection that chef Achatz has incorporated into his specialty — molecular gastronomy, which focuses on the sensory aspects of food. For one of his culinary offerings, he whittles down a 15-centimetre oak branch into a skewer, replete with dead leaves on one end, and threads it with sous-videcooked pheasant breast, roasted shallot and a cube of apple cider gelatinized with agar-agar

(a gelling agent made from seaweed). The food is tempura-fried, the leaves torched, then snuffed out, and when the dish arrives at table, the leaves are still smouldering. The scent of burning leaves elicits the nostalgic smell of raking leaves in the fall. “It’s a very powerful thing when you use aromas in cooking,” says Achatz.

“The sense of smell is a potent memory trigger.”

So is taste. It’s those fond memories of tastes and smells that define comfort foods — plus a little bit of culinary science (pyrotechnics not required). I launched Rosen’s Cinnamon Buns on that premise, banking on the fact that my version of the popular sweet pastry would tug on the heartstrings of people both young and old. My hunch paid off. New and repeat customers were lining up at the door of my one-item-bakery/café. I remember in particular the 82-year-old man who ordered coffee and a bun. He took one bite and, with a tear in his eye, said, “My God, I haven’t tasted a cinnamon bun like this since my grandmother passed.”

Memories that warm the heart… Mine is of a beloved smiling octogenarian in a floral muumuu circling our family’s Friday night dinner table covered with takeout containers of Chinese food, just like a master chef. My bubbe Fran was as proud of that food as if she had cooked it all herself (like the lemon fluff she’d made for dessert). “Eat, eat!” she’d insist, heaping more fried rice and chicken balls onto our already-full plates. And we would until we were almost bursting. “Sit down!” we’d shout at her. “Eat!” she’d shout back. Dinners at Bubbe Fran’s were always loud and chaotic and fun,

and her smile glowed as brightly as the Shabbat candles on her table. We felt loved and cared for beyond measure.

The origin of “comfort food” can be traced back to an article published in 1966 in The Palm Beach Post. Since then, food writers — including Phyllis Richman, renowned restaurant critic for The Washington Post — have used the term to imply food associated with the security of childhood. But according to a scholarly review in 2017 in the International Journal of Gastronomy and Food Science, it may, in fact, not be the food itself that gives us comfort but the memory we associate with it.

Comfort foods are dishes that are familiar to us and can be trusted to provide a sense of calm. And though the dishes themselves vary from family to family, as well as from culture to culture, the fundamentals are universal — precious comforting memories. It could be as simple as a beloved family recipe of the proverbial chicken soup to help cope with a cold on a wintry night. Or it could be the delicious down-home cooking of the Southern U.S. — fried chicken, cheese grits, gravy and collard greens — which, for generations, has been an essential part of local lore and a gastronomic connection for families in the region.

Perhaps, comfort food is simply all about the familiar — something to rely on in order to feel better. When I’m sick or heartbroken or in need of comfort, I put my faith in a slab of meatloaf and mashed potatoes with gravy (ideally served

by Bubbe Fran). And for that moment in time, I feel contented, the world makes sense, and everything is going to be okay.

BREWING FOR CHANGE

A recycled-water beer festival brings an elite class of drinks with serious eco cred — the ultimate stamp of luxury. By Charlene Rooke

T

he dark-amber-hued brew had a whiff of fresh peach and pear, plenty of carbonation and a deliciously citrus-inflected, slightly bitter finish. This beer named Americano — a clear and refreshing American pale ale from Walter Station Brewery in Phoenix — has sustainable origins that to some, may be shocking.

In November 2019, I got a taste of the goingson in a green-beer movement that has been brewing around worldwide. The city of Scottdale hosted a festival showcasing sustainable beers — the first global event of its kind — as part of Canal Convergence, the city’s popular art and light show along the Arizona Canal, a key piece of the infrastructure in the state’s water system.

The event featured 10 local craft breweries and presented only beers produced with recycled water from the tubs, taps and even the toilets of Arizona’s Scottsdale area. Water has long made habitable this desert oasis of luxury resorts, vacation homes and golf courses, and hip local craft beer could well turn out to be one way to make drinking recycled water more widely accepted.

The concept is not new. In bygone eras, ethanol, which is an antiseptic, was typically used to make mead, cider, beer, wine and spirits and also provided a means to make polluted water

drinkable. In the case of Scottsdale’s green-beer event, ultra-pure water initiated the process of producing beer. The bright pale ale I tasted, according to Jim Erickson, who owns Walter Station Brewery, “allows the base materials to shine through,” including the 1,000 gallons of recycled water donated by the cutting-edge Advanced Water Treatment (AWT) plant at the City of Scottsdale Water Campus. The ultrapure AWT water was the ultimate blank canvas and, Erickson noted, “cleaner than the [municipal] water you’d get on a daily basis.”

Other festival entries, which were also served as limited-edition taps at their home breweries last winter, showcased the ultra-pure water in beers and incorporated a slew of ingredients, ranging from the hemp seeds in North Mountain Brewing Company’s nutty, chocolatey New Water Hemp Ale to the exotic guava and strawberry in Mother Bunch Brewing’s Loved by the Sun IPA (India pale ale) to the bright hibiscus flower in Uncle Bear’s Brewery’s pink IPA, Pure Water Brut Rosé. The beer that judges voted the best — Fate Brewing Company’s Pueblo Vienna Lager — used corn instead of barley for its toasty, easy-drinking copper beer.

Increased sustainability through the use of recycled water is a smart idea in a water-intensive global industry like brewing, which utilizes up to 10 litres of water to produce a single litre of beer. Eco-conscious Sweden pioneered the practice with PU:REST, which was launched in 2018 with the backing of a state-of-the art industry and a government-run group that has been developing water-treatment technologies for 50

years. Produced under the Nya Carnegie Brewing label, the wildly popular beer was a joint endeavour of Carlsberg and U.S.-based Brooklyn Brewery and is sold at major food festivals and at government liquor stores. The wastewater used for PU:REST goes through half a dozen purification processes to meet the same rigorous standards for Swedish drinking water.

More recently, in 2019, Reuse Brew made its debut at IFA, Berlin’s international consumer technology fair. It was developed by U.S. water technology company Xylem Inc. in collaboration with two Berlin-based water-supply companies and Herforder brewery. Produced with water from a local facility that treats wastewater for 1.3 million Berliners, Reuse met the stringent 500-year-old “purity law” beer standards of Germany’s Reinheitsgebot and earned approvals from the federal health ministry and local universities that tested it. To further raise awareness of the need for water conservation and clean water, Xylem released the limited-edition Raining Champions beer for the Manchester City Football Club, using rainwater recycled from the rooftop of Etihad Stadium in Manchester.

Another global trend in sustainable beers is afoot — this time with recycled bread, which can replace some of the malted barley as a source of starch and sugar to ferment into alcohol — and is highlighting the issues around food shortage and distribution. Produced by the late celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain, Wasted!

The Story of Food Waste told the story of Toast, an English ale made with recycled bread. >

Bourdain’s 2017 documentary inspired Canadian versions — Been A Slice from Common Good Beer Co. in Scarborough, Ont., with proceeds benefitting the charity Second Harvest; and Our Daily Bread beer from Mt. Begbie Brewing Co. in Revelstoke, B.C., which collaborated with food-recovery organization Food Connect to source unsold bread, with proceeds shared with the Revelstoke Food Bank. Two “rye-cycle” beers made from dark bread have also been produced

by Bridge Brewing Company and Small Block Brewery, both in B.C. All these sustainable-beer ventures share a clever, modern approach to increasing public awareness of issues involving food and water scarcity and then proposing creative ways to resolve them. After all, beer offers a refreshing opportunity to make “grey water” more agreeable in more ways than one. “It’s a matter of helping to change public perceptions,” explains Nicole Sherbert, public information officer for the City of Scottsdale’s Water Resources department. It doesn’t matter how fine the quality of the AWT water is — it beats bottled water for purity by more than 70 measured

All these sustainable-beer ventures share a clever, modern approach to increasing public awareness of issues involving food and water scarcity. compounds, according to Sherbert. “I won’t be able to get 25,000 people out here by pouring [them] cups of water,” she says, laughing.

The goal of the 2019 eco-beer showcase was not to supply breweries with water long-term or even to introduce recycled water in Scottsdale’s drinking-water system, but simply to present to the public the idea of recycled water in a palatable, tasty way. “The more we can get people to work with recycled water, the more it will be accepted,” Sherbert points out. Each year, the City of Scottsdale will choose a beverage project to showcase its ultra-pure water, she says. “It could be kombucha, it could be craft spirits.”

Sherbert notes too that it was only in 2018 that state regulations changed to allow the ultra-pure AWT water to be used for “direct potable use” (read: human consumption), making Scottsdale only the third city in the U.S. to

obtain state approval and among a select few places in the world (including Singapore and Australia) to receive that distinction. The city’s wastewater is treated with ozonation, membrane ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis and, finally, ultraviolet photolysis — a process totalling approximately 12 hours. For the past two decades, 70 billion gallons of wastewater in the Scottsdale area has been used for “indirect potable reuse,” that is, to recharge a public aquifer [an underground layer of rock that holds groundwater], which Sherbert calls “our rainy day fund — or the opposite of one,” meaning water that could be used in the event of a drought or problem with the existing water system.

For its recycled-water-brewed Hydrolager, Wren House Brewing Company in Phoenix partnered with The Arizona Republic daily and used Sinagua malt barley. Grown by local farm-

ers in the less-water-intensive seasons of winter and spring, the crop has saved 324 million gallons of water in a state where three-quarters of the water used is allotted to agriculture.

It just goes to show that life’s little luxuries, like a refreshing local craft beer, can go a long way to achieving big global goals.

Sotheby’s International Realty Brokers reveal which neighbourhoods are emerging as the next housing hot spots. By Katherine Laidlaw

S

urburban neighbourhoods in the past have not been for everyone, especially those seeking to be at the centre of city life.

Usually, it is in major cities where bustling new restaurants and trendy art galleries emerging in otherwise overlooked historic areas signalled when buyers and developers should get excited about fresh opportunities.

But Covid-19 has brought a whole different set of homeowners’ priorities into sharp relief — time with family, room to roam and a lifestyle with a sense of community. “People want to love

26

where they live,” says Justin O’Connor of the Okanagan’s Justin O’Connor Group, who’s a Sotheby’s International Realty Canada Broker.

In today’s market, buyers are turning to regions that offer access to nature and amenities, dedicated spaces for remote work, and move-in-ready houses to call home. On the west coast, that includes the Okanagan in B.C. and Canmore in Alberta, both areas that have seen a boom over the past year. “Canmore has had an exceptionally good year for real estate,” notes Christopher Vincent, Senior Vice-President

of Sales at Sotheby’s International Realty Canada. “People have been looking for movein-ready homes and saying, ‘I need a home in the mountains and I need it now.’ ” Canmore has long been overlooked for its more renowned neighbour, Banff, but is coming into its own.

Neighbourhoods like Rundle View, which abuts the Canmore Nordic Centre originally built for the 1988 Winter Olympics, have mature trees, winding walking paths and stunning views, all just a 15-minute stroll from the city core and a short drive to Banff ’s ski resorts, shopping

RE C RE AT I O N RE P O RT

and nightlife. “Buyers who are looking for that privacy but still want access to downtown are taking the older homes there and giving them major facelifts,” Vincent says. “People are looking for that community lifestyle.”

In the Mont-Tremblant region, move-in-ready means properties designed for owners to withstand and — dare we say it — enjoy the minus-30 to plus-30 temperatures the area endures year-round. “Yin-yang is what’s interesting right now — indoor living space equal to outdoor living space,” says Herb Ratsch, a Sotheby’s International Realty Broker in MontTremblant. “The flow from indoor to outdoor is really important. It’s not [about] a little deck with a barbecue anymore. It’s an outdoor kitchen, living and dining spaces. Add heat lamps and that gives you April, May, October and November.”

Fleeing city homes for country ones has become a mental-health must, according to Ratsch. “People are asking, ‘How do I turn my house into a retreat?’ You’re seeing them put gyms, spas, workspaces within their homes.”

In Mont-Tremblant, an extra 10 minutes in the car — driving north to Labelle, La Macaza and on to Nominingue — will net you exceptional rewards. The landscape unfurls to reveal dozens of sapphiric lakes just off the highway, offering affordable waterfront properties on the beaches of Lac Lacoste, Lac Labelle and many others in what has become a year-round playground.

“We’re waterskiing and surfing from June through September. If skiing is more your style, follow the lifts,” says Ratsch. In 2022 the mountain plans to open a new lift at the base of Versant Soleil, which means even more ski-in ski-out possibilities. “The ski hill is like the beach,” he explains. “You want to be right on the beach. You want to be able to click, click and hand your skis to the valet.”

But regardless of whether you want to raft down the river or earn your turns, Ratsch believes that what’s critical now is a rock-solid Internet connection that rivals that at the office, so families can work and play in the same space.

ONE WATER STREET, KELOWNA, BC

Miranda Pearson, a Sotheby’s International Realty Canada Broker in Kelowna, points out that dedicated workspaces come in many forms.

One Water Street — a luxury condominium in Kelowna’s developing downtown — not only has a dedicated business centre in the tower, but an entire floor that offers resort-like amenities such as a pickleball court, two outdoor swimming pools, a pet friendly park, a health club and guest suites. “For those of us that might still work from home, it might mean a coffee house or a patio or a backyard. Here you can take your office outdoors — even on the lake!”

(Yes, Pearson confirms, you can still snag a WiFi signal on Kelowna’s Okanagan Lake, situated mere steps from the building’s front door.)

More and more, buyers want options — the privacy of quieter communities with the proximity of everything city life offers. Driving along the Niagara River showcases Ontario’s best, from vineyards and wineries to fruit stands spilling over with peaches, apples and plums. Tucked away in the rolling hills behind historic Queenston is St. Davids, a Niagara-onthe-Lake community that’s home to just 2,000 people and mere minutes from the landmarks of NOTL’s old town and Niagara Falls’ much newer one. “People are buying to live here,” reports Doug Widdicombe, a Sotheby’s International

Toronto is an hour and 15 minutes away and, when the world opens up again, the Buffalo airport is just 45 minutes from your own personal slice of heaven.

Canadian manufacturers are rethinking common materials to jaw-dropping esthetic results.

building wrapped in a coral-like metal skin. Kaleidoscopic recycled plastic that can take on any form. Wood inspired by a Chinook wind. What seems like fiction is, in fact, the new reality in Canadian building materials.

Companies are using advanced technology — from computational tools to 3-D printing — to reinvent common materials, including aluminum, plastic waste and timber into mesmerizing architectural and interior design products. These innovative materials cater to a growing demand for one-of-a-kind, earth-friendly alternatives to traditional building blocks (think: concrete, steel and marble).

“It’s in our DNA to explore more sustainable materials and manufacturing processes,” says Cindy Ianniciello, creative director and graphic designer at Montreal-based Studio SuperWise, referring to herself and colleague Xavier

Laurin, senior industrial designer. The duo recently tapped start-up Conext Innovation Inc. in Farnham, Que., which transforms residential plastic waste into custom design objects, to craft a terrazzo-inspired top for their prototype Much-Room table.

On a grander, international scale are the renowned architects turning to Great White North manufacturers to elevate marquee projects. Take Snøhetta’s revamp of the Calgary Central Library, with its poetic three-dimensional wood soffit in B.C. red cedar, or Guillermo Vásquez Consuegra’s arched CaixaForum Sevilla in Spain, clad in Ontario-made aluminum-foam panels that elicit double-takes.

Thanks to this forward-thinking approach to materials, manufacturing companies are pushing themselves to become the leaders of the design world, forcing design pros to keep up.

The advent of digital design and prefabrication enabled one of the biggest leaps in wood manufacturing since, well, wood. This technology allows ordinary timber to be transformed into geometrically complex forms while retaining the material’s natural warmth. StructureCraft — a structural-engineering and timber construction firm in Abbotsford, B.C. — is at the vanguard of this revolution.

The company employs 3-D modelling software to shape timber into hitherto gloriously unimaginable structures — to wit, the Calgary Central Library’s swooping cedar canopies reminiscent of cloud arcs formed by local Chinook winds.

FABULOUS FLAX Linen has been around for centuries. Now it’s undergoing a revival that’s taking it from the streets to the sheets. By Arren Williams

I

f the kitchen is considered the heart of the home, then the bedroom is easily the soul — a space where one unwinds, meditates and, of course, slumbers. In this sanctuary the star is the bed, and luxury and comfort are not dependent solely on it and the mattress, but also on what adorns it.

Crisp cotton sheets with a high thread count have, for a time, been thought to exemplify the epitome of luxury. But now it’s linen that embodies the new luxe — practical, sustainable and beautiful (bonus: it feels marvellous against the skin). You might step out wearing linen in the warmer months, but linen sheets feel and look good year-round. Thanks to its temperature-regulating abilities, linen naturally wicks away moisture from your skin, absorbing up to 20 percent of its weight in water before feeling

damp to the touch — ideal for avoiding a hot, clammy, restless night in bed.

And there’s nothing quite like rumpled linen sheets for conjuring the look of effortless chic.

“With each wear and wash, linen bedding gets softer and more comfortable,” explains Laura Nezri, founder of home-textiles retailer Maison Tess in Montreal. “The real trick is to put them on your bed when they’re fresh out of the dryer.

This is the best way to have sheets that fall perfectly on your bed and for the beautiful, natural wrinkles to appear and give them more depth.”

Linen’s wash-and-go vibe is very much on point with the season’s hot design trend, Japandi — a Japanese-cum-Scandinavian style and sensibility focused on natural materials and minimalist design. The Japandi palette embraces earth tones, like saffron yellow, terra cotta and khaki — colours that pair nicely with the sandy beige of undyed linen. But while basking in the spotlight right now, linen has had its share of being in and out as a popular fabric over the centuries.

Its somewhat dishevelled appearance belies a long, storied past. Linen, which is spun from the >

flax plant (genus Linum usitatissimum), was the material of choice for many a well-heeled Roman’s toga. Author and researcher of note Pliny the Elder gave top marks to Spanish linen for being the whitest and best in quality. Further afield the ancient Egyptians were among the first civilizations to grow flax and weave it into linen for clothing, bedding and even currency.

The Egyptians were also known for wrapping their mummies in linen strips, saving the finest for the pharaohs. The story goes that when Tutankhamen’s tomb was opened, his linen curtains were discovered in remarkably good condition.

Fast forward to 5,000 years. Linen took over the bedrooms of the French, specifically their sheets and pillowcases. Considered an important part of the trousseaus of young brides, fine bed linens were often embroidered with curlicued monograms and woven to last for generations. Many of these heirloom linens survived the past century or longer and are in near-perfect condition, the best of which can be found through dealers specializing in vintage textiles. Highly prized by collectors, some of this rare linen finery fetch hundreds and even thousands of dollars.

Linen also receives high marks for sustainability. All parts of the flax plant are used after

34

harvest, and time-honoured techniques are utilized to turn the flax into linen. The process begins with rippling, which removes the flax seeds from the stalks. Then, retting loosens the fibres, followed by the equally charmingsounding step called scutching to separate the fibres from the straw and woody stems. Finally, hackling smooths and cleans the fibres before they’re spun and woven into cloth.

When it comes to gauging the quality of linen, thread count is not the marker, which is the traditional standard for cotton sheets. With linen, it’s about the weight and feel, or — in textile parlance — the “hand” of the fabric. Anna Heyd, co-founder of Flax Sleep in Vancouver, recommends 160 to 175 grams per square metre as the perfect weight for linen bedclothes, found in her shop’s naturally-rumpled stonewashed French linen bedding. Flax Sleep also purveys premium linens beyond the bedroom, including waffle bath towels and robes, as well as napkins, aprons and kitchen towels.

For some Canadian bedding retailers, however, provenance is still key. “Do your homework,” recommends Julie Wu of Sömn Home in Vancouver, who prizes linen for its strength and washability. Last year Wu launched the online bed-and-bath boutique with her husband

and partner, Fredrik Örling, after closing the brick-and-mortar locations of their lifestyle shop, Örling & Wu, which they opened in 2009.

The couple transitioned in 2017 to become “pro sleepers,” according to Wu, in the quest for premium bedding. “Our linens are spun, dyed, woven, finished and sewn all at one facility in Europe — a rarity in the commercialized textile world.”

Indeed, European-woven fabrics have a stellar reputation, especially those from Portugal, Belgium, France and Italy. The “lived-in” linens at Vancouver-based LAST LIGHT, available in beach-inspired hues, are woven at a family-run factory in Portugal, as are the linen collections at Maison Tess in Montreal. Flax Planet in Toronto has a range of home linens made from French and Belgian flax — from bedding, towels and curtains to kitchen linens. The linen offerings at Flax Planet and Maison Tess are OEKO-TEX certified for eco-friendly textile manufacturing, as are those at Flax Sleep in Vancouver.

Sustainability, durability, comfort, au courant rumpled chic — no wonder linen continues to attract devotees. Still, it’s really all about the bottom line — a good night’s sleep.

“I love linen because it sleeps cool,” says Anna Heyd, who co-launched Flax Sleep in 2017. “[I’m] a hot sleeper, so the breathability has increased the quality of my sleep exponentially.”

Linen also receives high marks for sustainability. All parts of the flax plant are used after harvest, and time-honoured techniques are utilized to turn the flax into linen.

THINKING FORWARD

As one of the world’s leading tech hubs, Amsterdam leans into its AI ambitions. By Charmaine Noronha

W

alk along the cobbled streets in Amsterdam’s Jordaan neighbourhood and it’s easy to imagine you’re strolling through a Rembrandt. There are gabled merchant buildings and brooding cathedrals that harken back to the Reformation, and tall, narrow homes flanking historic canals. Picturesque bridges are festooned with flower boxes bursting with colour and bicycles upon bicycles, while numerous cafés beckon with charming patios and quiet corners to relax and recharge.

What might be less visually apparent than the city’s history is its future. Amsterdam is a burgeoning tech scene drawing coders and innovators from around the world, building itself into a city with a thriving artificial intelligence ecosystem. Its culture of diversity, openness, inclusivity and progressive attitudes has helped shape a climate ripe for forward thinkers pursuing new ideas. And the world is taking notice.

In 2019 the Global Innovation Index included the Netherlands in the top five international AI/ tech sector leaders. The index — a collaboration between Cornell University, graduate business school INSEAD and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) — ranked Amsterdam fourth after Switzerland, Sweden and the U.S. for capturing “the multi-dimensional facets of innovation.”

In the summer of 2019, in a city about an hour’s drive from Amsterdam, the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) launched what it hopes will become one of the top AI institutes in Europe in partnership with other universities as well as private companies and governments. The Eindhoven Artificial Intelligence Systems Institute (EAISI, pronounced “easy”) at TU/e caters to an increasing demand for AI courses focused on using smart algorithms in machines, like robots and autonomous cars. The university will spend some €100 million over five years on the institute.

“The culture of Amsterdam promotes this type of growth,” notes Leo le Duc, director of science and business at the Amsterdam Science Park (ASP), home to some of the city’s most successful start-ups. “The city takes in a lot of people from all over the world. They come here for adventure, to develop themselves. It’s easy to make connections here because Amsterdam isn’t very large — we’re 800,000 in the centre and 1.5 million in the region. It’s a real international city, and at the same time it’s the size of a town, so innovative thinkers actually get things done here.”

ASP is a research-based campus with more than 7,000 students, a dozen research institutes and almost 200 companies (multinationals as well as start-ups). It is a collaborative initiative of the University of Amsterdam, the municipality of Amsterdam and the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research. The city has already pledged €4 million in funding for this worldclass artificial intelligence hub devoted to tech research, education and entrepreneurship.

“AI is really the biggest core development at the Science Park,” le Duc points out. “The university is expanding their premises with a >

dedicated building for the Innovation Center for AI, [where] they work together with multinationals in innovation labs on basic research for the products and solutions of tomorrow.”

Currently, due to Covid-19, almost everyone is working from home, he notes.

Erik Boer, the founder of Venture Labs and former director of Amsterdam Center for Entrepreneurship (ACE Venture Lab), credits the city for creating this AI hotbed. “Since the early 1990s, Amsterdam has developed into a digital port. The city is attracting talent from all over the world because of its good living conditions, geographical location, liberal policies and common use of English. [Its] strong creative and service industries have proven to be a good breeding ground for many technology start-ups.

And the tax climate attracts many international tech giants to open up offices in Amsterdam.”

Over the last 10 years, the city has slowly but successfully built a community that fosters AI talent and growth, says Boer. “The creation of an Amsterdam Economic Board in 2011 and StartupAmsterdam in 2015 are good examples of how much attention has been given to the role of tech talent and applied AI.” The Amsterdam Economic Board is focused on strengthening the collaboration between industry, universities and government to further develop a smart, green and healthy Amsterdam Metropolitan Area (AMA). Meanwhile, StartupAmsterdam, which is run by the city, links public and private sectors to support local start-ups, scale-ups and entrepreneurs, as well as promote innovation and sustainability.

The ecosystem referenced by le Duc and Boer has fostered the growth of many start-ups and “unicorns” — companies valued at a billion dollars or more, such as Booking.com, data search and analytics company Elastic and location technology specialists TomTom. Even Netflix and Uber, among others, have built their European headquarters here.

Global leader Booking.com is one of its most notable golden children growing from a small Dutch start-up to one of the world’s largest e-commerce travel firms, employing more than 17,000 employees in 198 offices in 70 countries.

The company’s spacious headquarters reflect Amsterdam’s ethos and the brand itself. Its employees come from almost every part of the

world — a mix of hipster designer meets highly sought-after tech nerd — walking through the bike-lane painted corridors of the sprawling offices and chatting in accented voices. This diversity and inclusivity are viewed as vital to fostering a positive work culture and, consequently, prosperity.

To weather the current pandemic, the company switched gears from growth and expansion to survival. With international travel nearly coming to a halt, Booking.com acted quickly, conserving cash and freeing up funds in order to help it survive the current downturn.

No doubt Booking.com’s work culture, leadership and success, along with many other Dutchbased companies has inspired others to take the leap. In 2019, the third annual World Summit AI (WSAI) conference in Amsterdam took place where a handful of those delving into the startup world hawk their innovative ideas. Some of its attendees were senior leaders at the biggest names in the biz, such as Google, Amazon, Uber, Facebook, Samsung and Alibaba.com.

(The city must have made a lasting impression since it has been tapped to host WSAI for 2021).

The two-day WSAI, which bills itself as the

world’s leading and largest AI summit, is an aggregator of sorts for those peddling in what can be considered the most revolutionary part of technology that we’ve yet seen — the future of AI. Robert Iepsma is one such developer whose faith in AI and its future led him to create TRIPS, a program that provides teachers with data to help them become better educators.

In three years, his company has grown from two developers to 21 employees. He credits the strong Dutch tech scene to its growth.

“There is a strong mentality about AI here,” says Iepsma. “We have good education about technological development, which people are interested in right now. We have this education all the way from a philosophical level to a practical level. And we have a lot of start-up incubators these days, so if you want to do something and you have an idea, you get a lot of help, which is really nice.”

At the forefront of harnessing incubator culture are the University of Amsterdam and the city, which have partnered to create the Amsterdam Science Park.

The city itself is also seeing benefits of its AI investment. For example, the Urban Object

Detection Kit — a system that allows for the scanning of streets and for object recognition (say, trash bags and undesirable items) in real time — helps determine if litter needs to be collected in a particular area. It could be used for public safety as well. Amsterdam, along with Helsinki, is also creating AI registries to gather information on how the city is delivering services and allowing citizens to evaluate and examine government.

Meanwhile, as countries and cities worldwide adopt their own rules on how to deal with the pandemic, Amsterdam has an application in the works that can predict how busy certain streets will be and then issue warnings when people don’t maintain the required physical distancing.

AI is also proving to be essential in gathering and analyzing data-driven research on Covid-19.

“Some people feel that due to the vibrant economic climate and sharing culture, [Amsterdam] is moving towards a period of great global importance again,” says Boer.

And with more investment being earmarked into AI, as well as the potential economic, social and health benefits, there’s no doubt that it’s money and time in Amsterdam well spent.

REALITY BENT

Actor Catherine O’Hara doesn’t want to be just another mother. By Amber Dowling

T

he 67-year-old Canadian has always been candid in her love of playing unhinged characters, people with no sense of how their reality affects others but who are still grounded in humanity. It’s a tricky balance she toed for years on the improv scene, first as Gilda Radner’s understudy at Second City and later as one of the stars of SCTV. When you’re playing someone with a bent reality, whether that’s Moira Rose or over-the-top Lola Heatherton, it’s easier to accept whatever they say or do next.

These days O’Hara is known for her gutsy portrayals of nuanced women, and she confidently acknowledges that the landscape for women in the industry has improved a lot since then, both in terms of representation and in the material available.

In the 1970s, however, she was painfully shy, fumbling her way through auditions (she claims to be terrible at them, preferring the collaborative process) and making her mark with the work she was given, and people have often wondered why she wasn’t an even bigger star.

“You want to have a place in the story. You don’t want to just be there,” O’Hara says. “And believe me, I’ve read a tonne of roles over the years where it really is just a mother. There’s no point to her in the story. They could be the most easily edited scenes and not affect anything or anyone. She’s just there. I try not to do those [roles]. I try to stay away.”

40

Now, a new generation of fans are discovering the O’Hara effect. Shortly after she took home her 2020 Emmy for Schitt’s Creek, social media blew up, as younger fans realized she’d played “the mom” in Home Alone and “the singing mom” in Beetlejuice, a project during which she met her husband, production designer Bo Welch. (The pair have two sons now in their 20s.) However, as other fans quickly pointed out, her career spans so much more than that — from her legendary improv to her run of Christopher Guest movies, including Best in Show and For Your Consideration, to voicing Sally and Shock in the dark 1993 stop-motion fantasy film The Nightmare Before Christmas.

When O’Hara accepted the role of Moira Rose, she pivoted again. What the gig afforded her — other than another Emmy to complement her 1982 writing win with her SCTV co-stars — was a chance to prove that great roles can and should exist for women over 60. The series also reunited her with Eugene Levy. They had co-starred on SCTV, dated very briefly and reunited a handful of times on the big screen since.

Truth be told, O’Hara was nervous to play a part on a series for so long, and when the show wrapped after six seasons it was the longest she’d ever consistently played one single character. What truly convinced her was that from the start, Schitt’s Creek co-creators — Levy and his son, Dan Levy — allowed her to play with the character through her rich backstory as an

actor, not to mention her lavish wig collection (O’Hara’s idea). It allowed her to once again delve into a character whose altered perception of reality led to unexpected outcomes.

“What I loved playing in the series was that every relationship dynamic that people are generally familiar with was alien and new to these characters,” she explains. “It was so fun to play these scenes because everything about those dynamics was fresh to us. We had no expectations and no awareness of how profound some of these moments would be for these characters.”

While she has no clue what role she might tackle next, O’Hara has revealed she’d like to return to writing. She once sold a pilot about a married couple to HBO after a lunch with an exec, and while that show didn’t go anywhere — it wasn’t as close-ended as pilots needed to be back then — returning to that world is something she has considered. Whether that happens remains to be seen, but something the actor does know is that when she does pick up a new gig, it’s a lot more likely to be a real, memorable role than ever before.

“People just got away with not giving [female characters] that much attention for so many years. Now, we’re not letting each other get away with it,” she says. “Now it’s like, are you prepared to tell me more about them? Make me care about them — give me more.”

Here’s hoping O’Hara gives her fans, new and old, more in the very near future.

THINKING OUTSIDE THE SUIT

Toronto bespoke tailor Mike Paul Atelier is thriving in the era of #WFH. By Jeremy Freed Illustrations by Judith Rudd

I

f you’d asked Mike-Paul Neufville last January if he thought 2020 would be a good year to grow his bespoke tailoring business, he probably would have said yes. And he would have been right. Now, after a year in which offices were shuttered, weddings were postponed and sweatpants and hoodies became acceptable weekday attire for countless professionals working from home, tailors everywhere had good reason to worry. MikePaul Neufville, however, had seen this coming. >

“Traditional tailors don’t give customers what they want. They give them what they have and tell them it’s what they want.”

Neufville, an auto mechanic-turned-tailor and the founder of Toronto’s Mike Paul Atelier, hadn’t predicted the Covid-19 pandemic, but after spending a decade studying the business of tailored menswear from the ground up, he sensed big changes ahead. Pandemic or no, men’s fashion was in the midst of a major evolution, and the long-standing paradigm of button-down shirts, navy suits and leather-soled shoes was shifting quickly. Driven by loosening workplace dress codes, the rise of athleisure and changing attitudes about masculinity itself, a new generation of men was making new demands on the people who designed, produced and sold them their wardrobes long before the dawn of the #WFH era.

Neufville is not reinventing the wheel with Mike Paul Atelier, which combines services of a traditional bespoke tailor with workwear-and streetwear-influenced designs, and a digitalfirst customer experience. He is, however, offering men a new way to think about, shop for and wear their clothes that’s uniquely suited to life during these times. As major fashion retailers and traditional tailoring businesses face an unprecedented slump in demand for suits and ties, demand for Mike Paul Atelier’s bespoke bomber jackets, jeans and other luxurious basics has grown briskly in 2020.

“Traditional tailors don’t give customers what they want. They give them what they have and tell them it’s what they want,” says Neufville. “I find out what my customers like and I collaborate with them.” Unlike a traditional tailor, who usually produces suits and shirts on an ad hoc basis, the Mike Paul Atelier experience begins with a comprehensive wardrobe consult, where Neufville or a member of his team evaluates what prospective

44

customers already have, how they wear it and what gaps need to be filled. It’s this no-sizefits-all understanding of his clients’ needs — and a willingness to create unique pieces specifically tailored to their lives — that sets Mike Paul Atelier apart.

Mike-Paul Neufville launched his atelier in January 2019 after spending a decade working his way up the menswear retail ladder. For Neufville, a Floridian by birth, his menswear journey began when he arrived in Toronto in the oughts and landed a job at a major high-end menswear retailer. There he quickly worked his way from the stockroom to the made-tomeasure sales floor, a rise he attributes in part to his aptitude for fixing cars and motorcycles.

“I like to deconstruct things, understand the components and try to improve them on the rebuild,” he says.

While working the sales floor, Neufville took careful note of the areas that he believed needed improvement, from the way salesmen interacted with clients, to the store’s lagging digital

platform. He made similar observations at his next job, sizing up clients at a bespoke tailor in Toronto’s financial district. As he honed his skills with a measuring tape and chalk, he continued to observe the ways he felt existing menswear options were lacking, particularly when it came to using new technology to improve the customer experience. “All these brands struggle with digital and that’s really a problem,” he says of traditional men’s retailers.

“In the evenings, I would be taking on creative projects, building things to understand how they work, and I decided that if I’m going to be focused on building something from scratch, digital is going to be at the forefront.” >

This digital-first approach was essential when the pandemic made in-person consultations impossible. Instead of having a customer come to his studio to have their measurements taken, Neufville figured out how to do it over FaceTime and Zoom. “We build out a virtual lookbook for each client with clickable links, we deliver fabric samples by mail, and we have a really clever video survey that walks people through the measurement process,” he explains. “We built those tools to allow you to do everything from the comfort of your couch.”

He is also developing body-scan software that will streamline the remote fitting process even further.

Last summer Neufville expanded his offerings to include the Mike Paul Collection, a capsule of off-the-rack basics, including Pima cotton tees with streetwear-influenced details, Italian-made cashmere sweaters and highquality leather goods from the Paris workshop of Jean Rousseau. He also opened his first brick-and-mortar studio, a light-filled, loft-like space on Toronto’s waterfront, complete with an Aston Martin DBS Superleggera parked inside (which is also for sale, thanks to an ongoing partnership with the luxury automaker). In addition to pursuing other brand partnerships (he’s planning something big around the long-awaited release of the next James Bond film), Neufville has recently branched out into the hospitality and entertainment worlds, with commissions to design new uniforms for

Toronto’s Ritz-Carlton hotel and costumes for a Disney+ production filming in Toronto this past winter. In the midst of all of this, he’s also looking ahead to the post-pandemic era and anticipating the sartorial needs of his clients when the world reopens for business.

“The new way of dressing is comfort this year,” notes Neufville. “But I think there will be a resurgence of dressing up after that.” Pieces like soft-construction blazers made of sweaterlike jersey material, or a trucker jacket cut from a soft wide-wale corduroy, he says, combine comfort and refinement in just the right way.

“This is how I see the future of dressing. It’s about introducing formality back into your life — taking that cozy world and blending it back into the sartorial world.”

Whatever the next era brings, if 2020 was any indication, it’s a good bet that Mike Paul Atelier will be ready to meet it in style.

T

o “suck teeth’’ is to produce a sound by sucking in air through the teeth, while pressing the tongue against them, lips pursed. West African in origin, this non-verbal gesture is used to signify a wide range of negative affects — irritation, disapproval, disgust, disrespect, anger, frustration. Suck Teeth Compositions (After Rashaad Newsome) 2018 — a three-channel video installation by artist Michèle Pearson Clarke — depicts life-sized recordings of 17 members of the Canadian Afro-Caribbean community doing just that. Recently acquired by the National Gallery of Canada (NGC), Suck Teeth is not only a major milestone for Clarke, but also preserves the Black artist community represented in the video forever — a legacy for all Black artists and community members. NGC curator Josée Drouin-Brisebois has even called the acquisition a transformative contribution to the gallery’s collection.

Trinidad-born, Toronto-based Michèle Pearson Clarke has been creating photography, film and video installations for more than 14 years. In addition to her workload as a success-

50

ful artist, Clarke has also been serving as the current Toronto Photo Laureate, an accreditation bestowed on exceptional photographers whose work focuses on subjects relevant to Torontonians — the first of its kind in Canada.

“I feel lucky,” says Clarke. “With Suck Teeth there is an ongoing engagement, and this continued life and increased attention will allow for a longer unpacking of all the complex issues that are embedded in the work.” After a politically fraught summer, there has been increased attention and conversation on issues of race and culture in the U.S. and Canada. “I’m really curious to see what the response is to the work now that some people are thinking about things differently than they were before.” >

“My mum loved art and from an early age took me to art galleries in Trinidad, and her love of art was transferred to me.”

As part of the Afro-Caribbean diaspora, Clarke captures familiar cultural experiences and brings them into a contemporary art context.

“I’m not someone who grew up wanting to be an artist. My mum loved art and from an early age took me to art galleries in Trinidad, and her love of art was transferred to me. When I came out, I got involved with the Inside Out LGBT Film Festival in Toronto as a fun way to make community and it introduced me to video art.”

After the death of her mother in 2011, Clarke used art as a method of healing that allowed her to grapple with the loss. “I had such a traumatic grief experience that I had to give birth to something new to survive her death, so I went back to school and did my MFA at age 40 in 2013.” In

52

2015, Clarke created her work, Parade of Champions, a three-channel video installation that explores the grief experiences of three Black queer people after the death of their mothers. “I think that my work [in the beginning] was explicitly about making sense of my loss and finding a way to continue a relationship with someone who was no longer here. My practice is about a public conversation around grief and loss because we get so many messages about grief and loss and how to mourn, which are wrong and which emphasize staying at home and keeping it private, something that was difficult for me to do. As a Black person and a queer person, everything else about my experience and community is marginalized and our griefs are also marginalized.”

Though there has been much dialogue in recent months around how the art world is tackling conversations and issues of anti-Black racism, Clarke reminds us that there is still much work to be done. “The art world is a dominant mainstream institution that works like every other dominant and mainstream institution in Western culture in that its priority is preserving its power and propping up those who have usually benefited from the maintenance of that power.”

As Clarke sees it, while perceptions of the LGBT community have changed, no institution, including the art world, has done a good job at changing alongside it. The decision then is what contribution Clarke can make to dismantle these institutions. “I think about all the incremental

change that has allowed me to live my life. And now I work, so that one, two, even seven generations from now, young Black and queer people can live a life that’s freer than mine.”

As part of her involvement in the AfroCaribbean artistic community and her efforts to implement change, Clarke was instrumental in the Art Gallery of Ontario’s recent acquisition of the Montgomery Collection of Caribbean Photographs. One of the largest collections of Caribbean photography in the world, it consists of more than 3,500 historical images from 34 countries, including Jamaica, Barbados and Trinidad. AGO’s associate curator of photography, Julie Crooks, worked hard with 27 donors, including Clarke, to acquire the collection. “I sold some works that I wasn’t expecting to sell, and I was able to make a small contribution to the acquisition of this collection by the AGO,” says Clarke. “Toronto is such a Caribbean city and housing the collection here is very meaningful to our communities both here and beyond.”

What’s next? Ever community-focused, Clarke has a busy year ahead working on “Toronto Park Portraits,” a signature (and the most extensive) project of her 2019-2021 term as Photo Laureate.

In sync with the year-long ArtworxTO: Toronto’s Year of Public Art 2021, her project was conceived along the lines of a guerilla popup photo studio. She will be collaborating with 20 photographers across 20 parks in the city with the goal of providing free family portraits in public-park settings. “I’m interested in talking to Torontonians this summer about how they’re feeling and about their griefs and losses and finding out how they’re doing,” says Clarke.

There are also solo shows — at Mercer Union, a leading artist-run centre in Toronto, in June, and at the Art Gallery of Hamilton, slated for February 2022 — plus a curatorial project highlighting the work of the city’s emerging queer and trans photographers at Gallery TPW in Toronto’s west end this May. One of the main threads that Clarke weaves through her work, both as the city’s Photo Laureate and through her art, is depicting images of Black and queer experiences that feel honest and are representative of the people who live those experiences every day. For these communities, the cultural landscape keeps evolving, but one thing is for certain. Michèle Pearson Clarke will continue to champion their cause.

A new wave of Canadian curators is sparking change, throwing their support behind under-represented artists in an effort to educate — and challenge traditional attitudes.

By Yuki Hayashi

N

early 125 years after his death, Canadians will have the opportunity to view major works by noted Canadian landscape artist Edward Mitchell Bannister. Born in the town of St. Andrews, N.B., in 1828, Bannister, who died in 1901, should be a towering figure in Canadian art — a largerthan-life icon similar to Tom Thomson or Emily Carr, but as a black painter, he was not afforded the same accolades. And while many of

his oil paintings hang in prestigious American art institutions such as the Smithsonian, the Whitney Museum of American Art and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, he has never been the subject of a Canadian retrospective.

“Bannister was likely the first Canadian artist and the first artist of colour to win an important art prize in North America [the Centennial Exhibition Medal at Philadelphia’s World Fair in 1876],” says art curator David >

Woods, who is based in Dartmouth, N.S. “He was a prominent artist in Providence, Rhode Island. He was connected with The Providence Art Club, a group of artists who founded the famed Rhode Island School of Design.”

In addition to his art achievement, Bannister and his wife were abolitionists who raised funds to support African American regiments fighting in the Civil War, notes Woods, who is curating a retrospective of Bannister’s work, slated to run in spring 2023 at the Owens Art Gallery at Mount Allison University in Sackville, N.B. Their home in Boston served as an Underground Railroad safe house harbouring escaped enslaved Africans fleeing the South.

“Bannister died a Canadian. One would think that his artwork and his biography would have elevated him into a figure of national importance

56

in Canada, but this is not the case. Most Canadian curators know nothing of the man!” exclaims Woods. This is why the retrospective borrows heavily from the collections of the Smithsonian and the Whitney. None of Canada’s leading institutions included him in their collections.

Woods has been promoting Black artists of the Maritime provinces for four decades. His frustration is tangible as he discusses institutional indifference and apathy. He has been banging on this door for 40 years.

Finally, it’s starting to open.

As the tides change, pressure is growing on mainstream art galleries to recognize and redress the under-representation of work by BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Color), female and LGBTQ+ artists. Canadian art institutions are moving in this direction and

employing curators determined to educate gallery goers and lead the charge. Woods is part of a Canadian curatorial vanguard that has gained recognition and influence in recent years.

While Indigenous art is a staple at Canadian galleries, Wanda Nanibush, curator of Indigenous art at Toronto’s Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO), says that Indigenous-led exhibitions of Indigenous art benefit from the wealth of embodied knowledge that comes with having lived and learned as an Indigenous person. “It means we bring the experience of colonialism and the knowledge of Indigenous world views to the exhibition and interpretation of artworks.

It also means we bring a different value system to the table, often focusing on artists that may not be part of the current art system,” explains Nanibush who is Anishinaabe-kwe from Beausoleil First Nation, which is located on the southern tip of Georgian Bay. In 2018 Nanibush curated a major AGO retrospective of an Anishinaabe-kwe interdisciplinary artist in an exhibit titled “Rebecca Belmore: Facing the Monumental,” which included Belmore’s Wave Sound sculptures, photography and performance-based pieces, such as The Named and the Unnamed. According to Nanibush, this broader embrace of previously avantgarde art forms by big mainstream institutions has been largely driven by the artists amplified by this new wave of curators.

Curatorial change has been accompanied by changes in academia and beyond. “There are more Indigenous people teaching in universities, which means [that] more aspiring artists, curators and cultural workers are receiving Indigenous-specific training and mentorship,” explains Tarah Hogue, a former senior curatorial fellow of Indigenous art at the Vancouver Art Gallery.

“The critical mass of Indigenous presence in the art world is growing, which means more of our stories are being told by us, and in ways that centre our own experiences and perspectives rather than necessarily always having to translate these for a non-Indigenous audience.”

Hogue notes that in the same way that museums are opening their doors to Indigenous, >

“The critical mass of Indigenous presence in the art world is growing, which means more of our stories are being told by us.” ­— Tarah Hogue Black and POC artists, they have also accepted alternative mediums, such as installation, new media, performance and mixed media. Traditional art forms are up for re-examination.

“Many artists are making work that requires the active engagement of the viewer,” says Hogue. “This new thinking that focuses on audiences has also required museums to view exhibitions as a site for new discourse and education, even social change.”

At the Vancouver Art Gallery, this push towards greater community engagement has included moving beyond the gallery walls. In 2019 the gallery presented “Transits and Returns,” a group exhibition featuring the works of 21 Indigenous artists. “We extended the exhibition onto the street with Debra Sparrow’s vinyl mural at the Canada Line City Centre SkyTrain station. This was a continuation of Sparrow’s ongoing public art project called “Blanketing the

City,” which seeks to restore what Cree-Métis community planner and facilitator Kamala Todd describes as ‘a strong and visible Coast Salish sense of place,’ ” says Hogue.

Another curator seeking change is Suzanne Carte, a senior curator at the Art Gallery of Burlington (AGB). For Carte, who joined the AGB in 2018, one curatorial challenge has been finding the balance between the traditional mandate of the gallery — to promote local art and craft guilds, including weavers, spinners and woodcarvers — while also promoting a new generation of artists from diverse backgrounds and disciplines. “Shifting the lens changes everything,” notes Carte.

Both these mandates intersect in the AGB’s September 2021 exhibition, “VESSEL.” This show contextualizes the gallery’s ceramics collection within feminist anthropologist Elizabeth Fisher’s “carrier bag theory of human evolution,”

which posits that humankind’s first primary tool was the sling vessel/container for carrying food or a baby, not the spear, club or knife. “The AGB is an institution built on a collection of vessels.

Moreover, it is a collection of vessels [structures and people] built by women. That simple fact has been overlooked,” Carte points out.

At first, it may appear that this shift in the art world is focused on categories like race, gender, identity and other signifiers of difference among Canadians — such as modernity versus tradition, and experimental activation versus the big-name exhibition — but curatorial diversity is about elevating all art.

“A plurality of experiences means that we, as artists, activists and curators, can lead with our whole selves, so multiple truths can exist in the same space,” says Carte. “And after all, there is no unified, homogenous ‘general audience,’ just a constellation of communities.”

The Yasodhara Ashram’s Temple of Light, a yoga retreat and study centre, designed by Vancouverbased Patkau Architects, is made for tranquillity. Completed in 2017, three years after the previous temple was destroyed by fire, the refracteddome structure — which mimics an unfolding lotus flower — is a symbol for “peace, love and unity.” Erected in B.C.’s interior, an hour from Nelson city, the building reuses the site’s original foundation and incorporates recycled materials to honour the environment and reinforce the ashram’s commitment of sustainability to the planet and the people.

uring the global pandemic, countless industries have been impacted by the restrictions and protocols aimed at keeping the world’s citizens safe.

Perhaps, no other sector has been hit as hard as travel. From business trips to family visits and luxury vacations, travel has been restricted more than ever with closed borders and f light cancellations — keeping us all closer to home.

As the cold tempratures begin to break, now is the moment to step outside, hit the road and marvel at the wonders of design — in our own Canadian backyard.

Situated on the York University campus, an institution which has always been committed to innovative design, the Bergeron Centre was designed to look both like a rock rooted in the landscape and a cloud with multiple permutations and the ability to be anything the mind can imagine — ideal for an academic hub. The façade of glass and aluminum panels stand out against the university’s existing buildings and seem ever changing as they reflect the life and sky around it. This innovative thinking continues inside where, instead of traditional lecture halls, there are multiple sunlit social spaces and open layouts that promote a more interactive learning environment between teachers and students.

West of Thunder Bay, overlooking Wild Potato Lake, sits the Seine River First Nations 7,500-square-foot cultural centre. Completed in 2021, it functions as office space, crafting rooms, ceremonial venue and community hall. Designed to honour Indigenous craft and the natural surroundings, the materials used to build the centre are repurposed from an earlier structure that was never completed. Cultural references abound in the interiors — a highlight that includes a floor pattern that mimics traditional woven baskets and, in the ceremonial space, a floor composed of packed earth mixed in with medicinal plants. Form and function create a space where community can come together for generations. Photo: GF Inc.

Located in Montreal’s Griffintown is the newest addition to the city’s architectural landscape. Comprised of an indoor year-round park, student residences and a space for events and exhibitions, the cantilevered spaces extend to the exterior garden, joining industrial and natural elements. The atrium hearkens to the forests of Quebec with its wooden canopy and rock-shaped seating options. The building’s design was inspired by an icehouse that once stood on that same site, the countless windows reminiscent of the ice itself, creating an openness to student life inside.

FIT TO PRINT These masters of multiples are reinvigorating the old-fashioned medium of printmaking to lead a modern-day renaissance. By Lisa Mesbur

BE N J I E TO R R AD O C AB RE R A

L ATOYA HO B B S

SARAH AMOS

Master engraver Cabrera is a virtuoso of the form, with his intricate works merely hinting at the laborious process involved in their creation.

The emotionally evocative prints of this artist in the Philippines are engraved on acrylic, a medium used for industrial and commercial applications. In a recent series of drypoint etchings, Cabrera captures the global stress and alienation caused by Covid-19.

For Baltimore-based Hobbs, the process of creating her portraits of Black women is a symbolic and creative act. Using a wood or linoleum block, Hobbs “cuts away” negative stereotypes imposed on the bodies of Black women, revealing the multi-dimensional self beneath.

Hobbs is also part of Black Women of Print, a collective showcasing works from Black women printmakers throughout the African diaspora.

As a self-described printmaker working in diverse media, Amos creates art that is tough to classify. She uses collagraphy for her abstract large-scale “hybrid prints” to produce highly-textured collaged printing plates. After printing the collagraphs onto felt, Amos adds visual depth by building surface texture on multiple layers through hand-stitched and appliqué elements.

NICOLE PIETRANTONI

Working across woodcarving, printmaking, sculpture, installation, outdoor murals and even skateboard decks, American artist McNett produces colourful, ornate two- and threedimensional works that bring a punk sensibility to the sometimes-stodgy printmaking milieu.

He combines graphics inspired by tattoo and skateboarding cultures with motifs from mythology, spirituality, literature and fantasy.

Japanese artist Kiyono stretches the limitations of the form of printmaking. In Cultivation VI, exhibited in 2020 at 1010 Art Gallery in the city of Yokohama, woodcuts and etchings were printed on bright-hued circles of quilting cotton overlaid with dense hand-sewn geometrical patterns. Displayed in vibrant groupings, the circles project a harmonious mandala-like effect with no two pieces exactly alike.

Employing traditional and non-traditional printmaking techniques — and a whole lot of hand-folded accordion books — American artist Pietrantoni blurs the boundaries between print, sculpture and installation to create her thoughtful assemblages. A lapse, a fold, a field presents 33 vertically hung, digitally printed open accordion books reminiscent of bar graphs and pixels and superimposed on a desert scene.
