EBA: Shaken, but not stirred


A while ago, I wrote an article about some of the Enriched Bread Artists (EBA) taking part at the Moscow Biennale, see Link.

Now, the EBA artists invite all of us for a photo exhibition in the context of the CULTURE DAYS.

That's what they state on their web site – which makes me really curious about their show: “In the aftermath of the storm that blew the roof off EBA we are having a defiant "in your face weather!" photo-based exhibit. EBA is taking part in Culture Days again this year. We are playing host to an eclectic mix of local photographers from the well known to the should be known. Think “Wizard of Oz” meets “James Bond” and you get Shaken, but not stirred an irreverent take on weather with courage and danger and bears, oh my!”

They refer to the huge storm that hit the stage on Bluesfest and also damaged the roof of the EBA building, see on their facebook page.
Some artists' studios suffered from major water damage – but now it looks like they all recovered so far to brave the weather with this exciting exhibit.

Opening Night: Friday, September 30th, 2011, from 6 to 9 PM.
951 Gladstone Avenue, just off Preston Street.
The exhibition continues:
Saturday, October 1st, 11-5 PM.
Sunday, October 2nd, 11-5 PM.
Admission is free.

Participating Artists:
Marion Bordier, Erin Molly Fitzpatrick, Meaghan Haughian, Adrienne Herron, Marika Jemma, Karina Kraenzle, Claude Latour, Catherine Levasseur-Terrien, Gavin McLintock, Don Monet, Brad Snow, Rémi Thériault, Cara Tierney, Sharon Vanstarkenburg, David Westrop, Joyce Westrop, Ted Willis and Justin Wonnacott.

The Culture Days weekend (this weekend) includes – all over Canada – activities that celebrate the creative expression of the communities. Culture Days features free, hands-on, interactive activities and “behind the scenes” experiences. I true chance to discover a world of artists, creators, historians, architects, curators and designers.


And remember: End of October is the annual EBA OPEN STUDIO! Looking forward to it!
