Piece Work: Art Installation and Art Gallery

piece work: For decades, the work of their hands has gone, anonymously, into crafting high-end suits, the ultimate image of Western masculinity, according to CBC. Now the hands and labour and stories of those workers, in that monumental building, are at the heart of an art installation, Piece Work, on view at the Art Gallery of Hamilton. Wave after wave of new immigrants to Hamilton have worked there, their stories woven into the fabric of the city and the company. The Coppley Apparel stone building on York Boulevard always intrigued artist Sara Angelucci, whose mom worked there in the 1950s and 1960s. Her parents and extended family emigrated from Italy in the 1950s. Kelly Bennett/CBC The artist, Hamilton native Sara Angelucci, first learned of the work inside from her mom, who sewed clothes there in the 1950s and 1960s. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
