Juxtaposition Arena


A combination of combinations

 

 

 

Experience an exhibit unlike any other gallery show for one night only! Fourteen artists join curator and director Andrew Hicks for “Juxtaposition Arena”—a dismantling of gallery norms. Experience visual art on the walls, screens, and in space as projected images overlap, blur, and create a unified meta-piece. Sound artists and a live band will perform in addition.

This collection of artists and performers represent a rich sampling of Chicago talent. Students, teachers, curators, recent graduates, and programmers are coming together and sublimating their egos in order to try something new.


"I don't think this has been done before. Usually a piece is protected, isolated, and meant to stand apart from others around it. This is just the opposite."


"This group of artists is amazing. They have been totally open to having their work projected in combination with other's work who they've not even seen. 

I couldn't ask for a more open and talented group of people with whom to work."


"Every aspect of this show is meant to bring about new combinations. From the videos to the audio performances to the design of the space, it's all meant to provide a space for unexpected arrangements."
