NEXT ART CRAWL MARCH 12/2010
Loose Cannon Gallery – RevWear -Starting from Scratch
Designer Meet & Greet, Live Models & Refreshments
Curated by McMaster University Intern, Victoria Hayes
RevWear is an environmentally friendly fashion show, inspired by issues ranging from globalization, anticonsumerism, GLBTQ, women’s rights, poverty, animal rights and many more. Created by the loving raging rebels who are the RevWear Committee.Revolution Wear is an idea, an action, a lifestyle, a tool, a means to an ends, a starting point, a movement, a vehical, a message, part of something much bigger, the embodiment of love and passion, freedom and creativity. It is whatever you make of it and is as powerful as you allow it to be. It tares at definitions and replaces them with questions. Revolution Wear creates beauty from the abject using signfiers of consumer culture to deconstruct the machine.

SkyDragon – Teal Booth – No Grey Areas
Teal Booth is a local Hamiltonian human with a passion for art. That is right, a passion. Passion is way fun. Her current works involve an exploration of the seductive specificity of dark ink on a blank page, with all the accompanying philosophical riddles. Come on out and delve into an artistic rendering of the complexity of the human brain! Without space there is no object. Without light there is no dark. Without you there is no awesomeness to this art show. Because you are pretty cool, whether you believe it or not. (Also local musicians will be playing)
Hamilton Artists Inc – Jude Norris – Mooswa, Muskwa, PuskwaMoostoos
Jude Norris is a (Metis) Plains Cree multi-media artist from Alberta, Canada, currently based in Toronto and NY. The layers of material and meaning in her work mirror the particular dichotomy of living as an Indigenous person in a contemporary colonial environment, but they are also universally accessible and relevant in both aesthetic and metaphor. She uses a variety of media in creating idiosyncratic juxtapositions of the traditional with the technical, the organic with the manufactured. At times, Norris combines objects that are symbolically, directly, and/or stereotypically connected with Native American culture with elements of Euro-centric creative practice. http://www.judenorris.com
