Ottawa Wolves 2011 Calendar Launch
La Petite Mort Gallery Thursday, August 19, 20107 - 10 pm No Cover Calendar 20$Prints from the calendar sold at the event (Cash and Cheque Only)Calendar by Martyna Piechowski and Dan Ziemkiewicz (http://www.danziemkiewicz.com/) Starring the Ottawa Wolves(http://ottawawolves.ca/) Dirty ruggers bare it all for art Come and get it!Mingle with Ottawa’s only predominantly gay rugby team in the intimate environment of La Petite Mort Gallery. Expect plenty of laughs, naughtiness and skin in the calendar and at the launch. Giving ‘taking one for the team’ a whole new meaning, gay and straight ruggers played muse for the last 7 months to the creative duo of Dan Ziemkiewicz and Martyna Piechowski. Walking the fringe of fetishism, Martyna and Dan take the notion of the ‘sports calendar’ to a new level by giving it the black sheep treatment. The marriage of sport to sexuality is unapologetically explored through fetish, kink, sex and humour, crafting up social commentary bound to delight or offend. Piechowski and Ziemkiewicz had the boys suiting up in their Sunday best, getting their drag on in the bleachers, dropping their drawers for supper, howling at the moon, exposing their religions in jock straps, and cuddling up with their favourite teddy bear. The Wolves have a few tricks up their uniforms for this event. What’s lurking in their compression shorts isn’t enough for you? Fait Maison’s Mélanie Myers, Karina Pawlikowski and Maxime Huneault are bound to provoke you. **Fait Maison Founded in 2005, Fait Maison is dedicated to the exploration and development of performance and performance related art.
