Verticality
July 18 – August 23rd, 2008
OPENING RECEPTION: Friday, July 18 at 7:00pm

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.

Gallery 101 is located at 301 ½ Bank Street, 2nd Floor. Opening hours are Tuesday to Saturday, 10am-5pm
