Shari Kasman is a multidisciplinary artist and writer based in her hometown, Toronto, Canada.[1]
She had the idea for Bloordale Beach and created it along with an anonymous collaborator.
Education
Kasman has a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in music from York University[2] and a diploma in Music Performance in classical piano from McMaster University.
Career
Kasman has been teaching piano since 2001.[2]
In the 2010s, Kasman photographed and provided guided tours of Toronto's Galleria Mall.[3] She created two photo books about the mall. Her related exhibit Memories of Galleria Mall was featured as part of the Scotiabank CONTACT Photography Festival in 2019.[3]
Kasman co-created the large-scale guerilla art installation that became a community hub, Bloordale Beach,[4] which was described as a vision for reclaiming public space[5] and was the inspiration for music videos and other works of art.[6][7]
In 2022, after failing to persuade the City of Toronto to address flooding in a bicycle lane on Bloor Street, Kasman named the location "Bloordale Pond".[8] The same year, Kasman drew attention to the unused land on Brock Street, Toronto, by putting up unauthorised signs suggesting the location was "Parkdale Provincial Park".[9]
