11 December 2010 to 22 January 2011
Please join us for the opening on Saturday 11 December from 3 to 5 p.m.
Susan Hobbs is pleased to present Oliver Husainâs exhibition Cushy Number, his first at the gallery. Using a range of cinematic tropes, Husainâs films, installations and performances are exquisite and playful pursuits in the realm of expanded cinema. His encoded narratives, visual cues and site-specific interventions coalesce here to charm the viewer into a reversal of subject and object. In the main gallery, Husainâs black and white film sets up a conversation between the audience and the filmâs subject through an epistolary script. On the second floor, a display of his signature hand-painted silk scarves and related objects provides a multi-hued contrast that literally ties the two floors together.
For more information please contact the gallery or visit our website.
Please note that on the afternoon of the opening free parking is available west of Tecumseth Street at the lot for the Niagara Street Public School - on the north side of Adelaide Street between number 706 and 714. This offer does not apply on weekdays.
