This year's Toronto series of the If I Can't Dance reading group is a double response to its itinerant activities and their Edition V, which explores the dynamic between appropriation/dedication. Initiated by Jacob Korczynski in association with Art Metropole, it will be hosted by various Toronto institutions, organizations, and initiatives, and moderated by members of each: Art Metropole, Gendai Mobile Unit, No Reading After the Internet, The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery, TPW R&D, and Whippersnapper Gallery. It is free and open to the public.
