Co-chair of the event, Xandra Eden remarks, "The concept for Mercer Living comes from an evocative, albeit irrational, comparison between Martha Stewart Living magazine and Bruce Mau's Life Style. In looking at these two divergent attitudes towards life and living in the 00s, we began to wonder how the practical and theoretical considerations of urban living would come together through an exhibition in Toronto."
