I admit, it was the name 'Domestic Science' that made me want to see this multimedia show, on now at the Pentimento Fine Art Gallery in Leslieville.

Although it takes inspiration from many things, it's partly a tribute to Nikola Tesla, the Serbian-American inventor responsible for incandescent lightbulbs, AC power, and wireless (radio) technology. Today, partly because of Tesla, electricity is everywhere -- animating, communicating, and radiating in every part of our lives. This neat little show aims to illustrate that, in the words of Tesla himself, ""Whoever wishes to get a true appreciation of the greatness of our age should study the history of electrical development."

"What? They're MOVING?"

In just the few minutes I spent outside This Ain't The Rosedale Library, snapping the above photo, more than a dozen people walked by and stopped to exclaim over the sign. Yes, after the 22 years they've spent on Church Street, in the heart of The Village, the bookstore will be closing its doors as of May 31.

Keep reading for a bit about the current location, why they're leaving, and the plans for a new home (and focus) in Kensington Market.

Right here on blogTO we recently asked what's happening with all those zebra mussels in Lake Ontario?

Well, one thing that's happening with them is art.

The Power Plant's new (and first) commissioned art work is Simon Starling's Infestation Piece (Musselled Moore), a piece that combines those pesky zebra mussels with that pesky British artist, Henry Moore.

In a project that took almost two years, Starling made a steel replica of Moore's famous Warrior With Shield sculpture, and then submerged it in Lake Ontario so it would get covered with -- yes -- zebra mussels. When it came out of the water, the mollusks died, but their craggy shells still stick there.

It's a piece for Toronto, through and through. We've always had a bit of a thing for Henry Moore -- it's probably common knowledge that the AGO's collection of his sculptures is one of the largest in the world, and The Archer still sits outside City Hall. But in the beginning, Moore was considered an outsider, and was unwelcome by some. Much like the mollusks, which are thought to have only started showing up here about twenty years ago, on trade vessels. (Of course, the mollusks have taken over an entire body of water and threaten almost everything living in it and, to my knowledge, Henry Moore never did anything quite that bad.) Still, the pairing raises questions about the city's ecologies, about outsiders, about what we choose and what we don't get to choose.
