Ottawa artist Cathy Busby and Halifax based
conceptual art star Garry Kennedy team up for an
exhibition at Halifax's newest and most talked about
art gallery, the Bathroom Gallery. An opening
reception will be held Friday, July 13th from 7-9pm.
Everyone is invited to attend. The exhibition continues
through to August 5th.
This month Cathy Busby and Garry Kennedy present
'With Apologies/Brushstrokes'. The exhibition will
feature towels embroidered with apologies from
political and religious leaders. Garry Kennedy went
shopping at the drug store for his contribution.
Kennedy will be displaying a wide array of bathroom
products featuring brush strokes as part of the
package design -"very abstract..very Pollock" says
Kennedy.
The gallery was established by residents and
curators Evan Quigley and Sarah Bennett who
decided they would offer the otherwise empty space
of their bathroom to innovative international artists.
The Bathroom Gallery is a fully functional bathroom
complete with all the traditional amenities. Artists are
invited to work around and with the sink, tub, and toilet
to produce works that would otherwise not be
exhibited in the white cube of traditional galleries.
The public is welcome to drop by Sundays from
2-4pm. Admission is free. The Bathroom Gallery is
now offering the unique opportunity to bathe with the
art on display, a nominal fee of $20 will allow for a 45
minute private bubble bath. You will leave feeling
relaxed, refreshed and cultured!
The Bathroom Gallery is located in Halifax, Nova
Scotia. The gallery is open to the public Sundays
from 2-4pm or call (902) 431-2099 to make a private
appointment.
