NO VACANCY
No Vacancy Projects, founded by David Yu, is a nomadic, experimental, and contemporary art project space that temporarily occupies vacant spaces – both commercial and domestic (storefronts, apartments, offices, houses, parking garages, warehouses, balconies etc.). Each mounted exhibition is site specific and context driven.
This project was first dreamed up through witnessing the amount of empty storefronts occupying the downtown core of the city of Toronto for months and years on end – a direct result from businesses being priced out via new and aggressive capitalistic ventures. A thought occurred (as is often inspired by the unobtainable): what if all these unused spaces that are just sitting vacant and collecting dust could be occupied and used for something more exciting, which can be experimental, in flux, challenging, and a reflection of our present?
