CROCKer, opened on February 22, 2007 at XEXE Gallery in Toronto and ran until March 24.

This show is about homes and homelessness. Street youth inhabit a world where modern condo advertising is merged with pages of a 1950's Betty Crocker cookbook - both equally unreal in their portrayal of the perfect life.

This show was produced with support from the Canada Council for the Arts.
