Learn more on the dedicated DesignTO event page. \n  \n3) The Quiet Between: Gestures of Absence\nLocation: Engel & Völkers\, 71 King St E\nFREE: Jan. 23 – Feb. 1. (Window installation viewable 24/7) \n‘The Quiet Between: Gestures of Absence’ presents a series of hand-blown glass vessels exploring softness\, imbalance\, and the quiet tension between stillness and motion. Each piece stands as a sculptural form\, curved and leaning\, shaped by gravity and intuition. The works of art pull meaning from the word lilt\, which is the rise and fall of movement\, of voice\, of something alive in stillness. These vessels are not made for function\, but for feeling. Learn more on the dedicated DesignTO event page. \n  \n4) The Sound Eater\nLocation: Toronto Sculpture Garden\, 115 King St E\nFREE: until Apr. 12\, 2026.

The Sound Eater is data visualization of the Toronto Sculpture Garden’s soundscape…continue reading on the dedicated DesignTO event page. \n  \n5) Contemporary Textile Art x Contemporary Design\nLocation: Minimal Toronto\, 260 Richmond St E\, #100\nFREE: Jan. 23 – Feb. 1.
