The Sweater Lodge

Canada's Entry for the 2006 Venice Biennale

"If Vancouver design team Pechet and Robb get their way, the polar fleece sweater may soon join Mounties, the maple leaf and the beaver in the hallowed hall of Canadian icons. Renowned for their cross-disciplinary work in art, design and architecture, Stephanie Robb and Bill Pechet are the creators of SweaterLodge, the Canadian selection at this year’s International Architecture Exhibition at the Venice Biennale, the most prestigious architecture and design show in the world."

You know Mat and I saw the Sweater Lodge before moving to Vancouver?

It was so, so weird. There was this weird voice on tape, saying 'sweeeeeeeeater looodge' is a very creepy voice, over and over.

It's sad, but our installation seemed so dry and amateur compared to the other countries presenting.
