Hang in There at Co-Prosperity Sphere, June 17 opening

I’ll be showing a new piece as part of this group show curated by Jason Lazarus, Hang in There. There are sooooo many great artists in the show, I’m excited! Come out and see the show and the new work, about which I’ll say this: I hope you like to dance.

More about the show:

Hang in There is an exhibition asking artists to make motivational artworks.  Cultural producers often face difficult roads to develop a sustainable practice.  This exhibition is an opportunity for artists to provide an alternative to the commodified and saturated market for motivation, transcending the usual glut of advice, adages, and worksheets to something more singular, incisive, heartfelt, and critically-minded.

Opening June 17, 2011 / 7 – 10 PM at The Co-Prosperity Sphere in Chicago, IL.
