BIG little fibre FIBRE
The Gladstone Hotel's 2nd Annual Juried Textile Exhibition

Exhibition Hours 12-5pm Daily
3rd and 4th Fl Exhibition
Friday October 12 2007 to Sunday November 25 2007

Sex, lies ' but no rock and roll (we're working on that one) ' inhabit the world of BIGlittle fibreFIBRE, the Gladstone Hotel's second annual show of textile art.

Inspired by a surprised 'Gee, it's so big!' overheard from a viewer looking at a piece in last year's show, the curators have brought together a group of works that explodes the perception that textile work is exclusively delicate, diminutive, fragile and decorous.

From Emily Hermant's breathtakingly huge Thumbpins to Andrea Vander Kooij's sly little fifteen fucks, the works in the show - like Alice's mushroom - bring the viewer to the VERY BIG and the very small, depending on which side they experience.

And, courtesy of Keith Bentley, there's a life-size horse.

Participating Artists:

Amy Bagshaw, Barbara Bailey, Keith Bentley, Louise Lemieux Bérubé, Kate Busby, Florencia Caligiuri, Suzanne Carlsen, Sarah Comfort, Gabriel Dawe, William Elsworthy & Deborah Wang, Misha Gingerich, Miriam Grenville, Jessica Harrod, Emily Hermant, Jane Lowbeer, Feliz Klassen, Amanda McCavour, Tammy Osler, Tania Ursomarzo, Lois Schklar, Andrea Vander Kooij, Lois Shklar, Barbara Wisnoski, and Ute Wolff.
