Urbanspace Gallery presents TOO FUN, a multimedia exhibition by Toronto-based artist Leala Hewak exploring the Ontario Science Centre (OSC), the doomed playhouse, brutalist masterpiece designed by Raymond Moriyama in 1969.

The potential destruction of the Ontario Science Centre, a building Hewak has been visiting for years, impelled her lens-based survey of the building and the people who use it.

“I heard the Ontario Science Centre was in danger, so I rushed to capture its joys — just in time”, The Toronto Star, June 29, 2024, Photography Feature by Leala Hewak

The book also features text excerpts from Moriyama’s own design notes anticipating the creation of the building in 1969.
