Spacing (magazine)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Spacing is a three-times-yearly magazine published in Toronto. Focusing on issues affecting Toronto's public realm, Spacing was originally published by the Toronto Public Space Committee in house until it was spun off as a wholly independent magazine after the first issue. (The two organizations support each other on occasion.)
Launched in December 2003, the magazine has been critically acclaimed by Now Magazine, the National Post and Utne Reader magazine, the latter of which awarded Spacing the best new title at its annual independent magazine awards. Two noteworthy Toronto photographers, Matt O'Sullivan and Sam Javanrouh, are known for the street-scene photos featured in all Spacing issues. Past Spacing issues have focused on pedestrians in public space, street postering, public art, and public transit.
The magazine has two daily online features: the Spacing Wire, a group blog that provides commentary, links and events for Toronto and worldwide urban topics, and Spacing Photos, a photoblog that highlights images based on a theme captured by a wide-range of Toronto photobloggers.
