Secret Swing
Secret Swing

Swingsite was an art installation that consisted of a playground swing hanging in the narrow space between two buildings in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The swing was accessed by way of the alley behind Queen Street West, which is known as one of Toronto's best graffiti galleries. Toronto artist Corwyn Lund erected the swing in September 2003 as part of a group show called 'Psychotopes' at YYZ Artists Outlet. As part of that show, Lund made and displayed a video about the installation.Nicknamed the Secret Swing, its location became more widely known when Toronto bloggers began posting pictures of it online and a number of articles appeared in local newspapers. It has since become a cult icon among street artists and the youth of Toronto. It was located in the alley behind the store fronts on the south side of Queen Street, about a block west of Spadina Avenue. In November 2005, the swing's seat and two feet of the swing's chains were removed. This was supposedly the work of vandals. Two people named Vince and Kai replaced it on December 13 of the same year. The new swing seat bore a date, signatures, and has writing on it: “The Secret Swing belongs to the people of Toronto.”The swing installation came to an end in March 2006 when both the swing and the bar holding it up were removed and a fence installed to block the entrance to the space where the swing was installed. This may have been done to thwart any future attempts to replace the swing, as well as deter homeless people from sleeping in the space between buildings.

23 Hop

23 Hop was a warehouse event space in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It was an early venue for electronic music and a venue for raves. It was located at 318 Richmond Street West in the city's former Garment District which had recently become re-zoned into the city's Entertainment District. Although the space was active in the late 80s, it would not come to be known as 23 Hop until 1990, when it was taken over by Wesley Thuro, a club and restaurant owner, who would showcase his lighting and sound equipment, and Chris Sheppard, a notable Canadian DJ who would occasionally perform.The unlicensed venue's second and third floors would often be rented out as an after-hours club for house music events. Eventually, it would hold regular events by Exodus Productions and many other similar production companies that would signal the birth of the rave movement in Canada.23 Hop closed in the summer of 1995. Following 23 Hop's closure, the 318 Richmond building's interior and exterior underwent significant renovation—including addition of rooftop patio as well as conversion of adjacent parking lot into street-side patio—as part of the launch of The Joker, a mega nightclub playing commercial dance music. By the end of the 1990s, the property was sold to a developer that promptly demolished it in anticipation of starting construction of a new condo building. After several years as a parking lot, a 39-floor, 402-unit condominium building known as Picasso on Richmond was built.In 2019, The Legend of 23 Hop, a documentary film was released citing the importance of the club on the city's electronic music cultural history.
