A giant jigsaw puzzle was unveiled at the Rotunda in City Hall last week. It wasn’t much of a head-scratcher, since it had already been solved, but what it lacked in convolution it made up in sheer optical awesomeness. Commissioned for the Manifesto Festival of Culture and Community (which just wrapped up this weekend), the puzzle—entitled Toronto Artmap 2009—was created by artists representing each of Toronto’s forty-four wards. Ranging from a variety of disciplines and backgrounds, each artist was given a slab of wood shaped like their particular ward, on which they were free to tinker as they so desired. Once the pieces were finalized, they were linked up Voltron-style to form a massive tessellated map of Toronto.
