@fugitive_glue presents Avro Arrow. A modest wooden replica of the Canadian designed supersonic delta wing interceptor. Famously canceled on February 20, 1959, an event that became known as “BLACK FRIDAY” in the Canadian aviation industry. This decision subsequently led to the significant emigration of highly skilled engineers from Canada to other nations, particularly the United States and NASA.

222 SPADINA AVE.
2ND FLOOR, UNIT #246
excited to showcase some of my work in my first ever solo show in Toronto.
This exhibition examines our chronic need for recognition and how emotional validation has become bound to technological systems and material symbols. Through interactive sculptures, the exhibition exposes how we seek immaterial reassurance through physical, often digital, means.
This weekend is your last chance to check out the 7th Annual Aluminum Design Show.
As a paradoxical material, aluminum holds properties of a versatile and adaptable nature. The exhibition brings together the works of designers and artists that explore the practicality of aluminum, in the realm of home goods, furniture and objects. By reimagining its presence beyond industrialization, the collection speaks to the material in constant transformation; merging utility and sculpture into the intimate spaces of daily life.
Works by Bennett Alexander, Naomi Dodds, Mary Fisher, Jakob Hamann, Henry Rudman, Maxwell Sims, Sohyun Yoon
Show Dates: March 20th – 30th 2025
Hours: Thursdays-Sundays 12pm-4pm
Chinatown Centre

FINAL WEEKEND *** the 7th Annual Aluminum Design Show
Air Basket by Maxwell Sims @maxwellfsims
Material: Aluminum, Felt
Dimensions: variable
Year: 2024
A hanging basket has a nicely ambiguous context: a door knob, a coatrack, a closet… An aluminum rod is used in it’s full 36” length to create a hanger and hoop, in which a felt basket is suspended. The product was developed with the Toronto Center of Learning & Development and intended for fabrication with simple hand tools. Thus, the uncut rod was bent with a cheap hand bender, and the basket was designed to be easily sewn.

Redefining ‘odds and ends’ storage in the home. A set made to hold and display the fragments of life that tend to fall to the bottom of a drawer – the paraphernalia that is kept and not thrown away. The set can be rearranged in multiple orientations, the lid can be removed and utilized as a platform or as its own container. Various stands elevate and separate odds and ends from the surface they rest upon. The set can be stacked, condensed or sprawled.

Hangman by Jakob Hamann @_jakob0
Material: Aluminium
Dimensions: 20” x 15
Year: 2024
Inspired by peg boards, this desk organizer uses perforations in aluminum to create a storage solution that can be shipped flat, and easily bent in place. Minimal cuts in the material reduce waste while maximizing storage capability.

Sol LeWitt, Extended by Sohyun Yoon @hardtoberemembered
Material: Aluminum
Dimensions: 15 ⅛ ” x 15 ⅛” x 16
Year: 2025
This work explores the maximum potential within restrained forms. Sol LeWitt, Extended reinterprets Sol LeWitt’s conceptual cube, expanding it into a functional object. The aluminum structure adapts fluidly to different spaces and uses, emphasizing open-ended possibilities. Aligned with Jasper Morrison and Naoto Fukasawa’s Super Normal, my work investigates how fundamental geometries and ideal proportions reveal their latent potential through interaction and context.
