Description de l'exposition: "… individuals were invited to participate in what was billed as 'a prestigious showcase of art, architecture and design which will transform the roof-tops, grounds, and magnificent interiors of the R.C. Harris Water Filtration Plant into a unique museum of contemporary art.' Eighteen artists were invited to participate including John Baldessari, Jonathan Borogsky, Ludger Gerdes, Rebecca Horn, Komar and Melamid, Nancy Sperio, François Girard, Bruce Kuwabara, John Scott, Joanne Tod, Andreas Gehr, Morphosis, Aldo Rossi, Jacques Rousseau, Stacey Spiegel, Team Zoo and Krzyztof Wodiczko."

Jennifer Fisher and Beth Seaton,"Waterworks: Visual Arts Ontario", Parachute, nº 52, novembre 1988, p. 59-60.

Description du projet: "Parts of the site, …, have provided forms for casting concrete lawn chairs-like shapes - petrified recordings of the topography - fabricated of lake water, beach sand and pebbles, rods and wires."
