Exhibition: Gallery 4 Annex

 
 
­­Thousands and thousands of ideas, topics, and sources of inspiration are stored on the shelves of your library. Walk into your closest library, go to the 5th book stack, 3rd shelf from the top, 8th book from the left, and see what that uncovers!
This July and August, the Hamilton Public Library (HPL) has generously offered a two month exhibition to our group in partnership with another group, RevWear.

Both our clubs rooted out of McMaster University but have since evolved, each in their own way. While we have differences in style, intent, and purpose, we have things in common too; Like channeling ideas, whether simple or complex, into a physical presence (i.e. art - wearable or otherwise).
If you are in the Hamilton, Ontario, area this July and August, take a stroll to the Hamilton Public Library central branch at Jackson Square, go up to the 4th floor, and take a look at our mishmash collection of art and fashion!

OPENING NIGHT
Friday, July 14

5-6pm

Hamilton Public Library
Fourth Floor - Gallery 4 Annex
To show our appreciation to the library for this opportunity, this exhibit is drawing inspiration from the Dewey Decimal Code; a group of numbers and letters designed to categorize and organize the legions of books in libraries based on topics and sub-topics. It’s a system used by all libraries (that I know of).
Each art piece displayed can guide you to a different place in the library where you can find your own ideas and interests. Each art piece is matched up to a topic, and each topic is matched up to the Dewey Decimal Code, and each code is matched up to a place in the library. If an art piece interests you, look at its tag and see what code or area of the library it is related to. Explore that area and see what new things you can learn about, read about, and find interest in!
The exhibition is called ‘Dewey it Yourself’.
RevWear is a group of people creating change, reusing everything and inspiring sustainability and social justice through wearable art and performance. RevWear held an exhibition at HPL last year and has more than 10 years running behind it!
Artists Anonymous is dedicated to the various forms of fine art and members are typically artists by passion not by profession. For more about us, explore this blog!
