A new exhi­bi­tion at the Cana­dian Centre for Archi­tec­ture, Actions: What You Can Do With The City, explores the thou­sands of exam­ples around the globe of people reclaim­ing urban space through Do-​It-​Yourself (DIY) actions in order to human­ize the failed urban real­i­ties around them. While urban action has become a hot sub­ject over the recent years, the CCA has approached the sub­ject from a broad cri­tique that mixes 99 Actions done by artists, archi­tects, design­ers, politi­cians, activists, ath­letes and most impor­tantly aver­age cit­i­zens. In many cases the actual museum arti­fact didn’t exist, thus giving the museum the chance to create the work.
