Admission is free and open to the public.
Perceptually speaking, when viewing something vertical a strange thing
happens to our vision. Objects tend to diminish in size in a unusual
manner. When we look at the moon on the horizon, it can appear
tremendously large.. As it travels upwards in the sky, it seems to get
smaller - even though it is the same distance away. Verticality could
imply hierarchy as one has to look up to see the top. It could also
indicate a journey upward, away from our earthy existence or up the
ladder of success.
Enriched Bread Artists (EBA) is a multivalent collective of diverse
Ottawa artists. The collective takes its name from the fact that the
cooperatively run studio group is located in a former bread factory.
Originally formed in 1992 by graduates of the University of Ottawa, the
member artists have changed over time, in an ongoing artistic ferment.
EBA is an art studio and an artistic laboratory. Today EBA is the
biggest artist studio co-op building in the Ottawa region. Artists in
the collective show their work locally, nationally and internationally.
ARTISTS: Joyce Westrop, Cindy
Stelmackovich, Amy Thompson, Carl Stewart, Barbara Brown, Sarah
Anderson, Uta Riccius, Jean Halstead, Daniel Sharp, Juliana McDonald,
Marika Jemma, Hedda Sidla, Svetlana Swinimer, Tavi Weisz, Kenneth Emig,
Dipna Horra, Karen Jordon, and Gayle Kells.
