My wife and I have been hosting art shows in our house for the past few years. We have an opening this weekend that should be very exciting. If you are in Chicago this Saturday (7/18), and near Hyde Park, come see us!
The Diorama Showwww.thelarch.orgA curated show of imagined spaces
PRESENTED BY: Home Gallery, 1407 E. 54th Place, Chicago, IL 60615
Opening reception: Saturday, July 18, 2009, 6-10 pm
ABOUT THE WORK:
The Diorama Show explores our fascination with three-dimensional, constructed spaces that depict an imaginary moment in time. For nearly 200 years, dioramas have tested artistic, cultural and historical assumptions about reality and the world around us. We invited artists working in very different mediums to explore the tensions created in the diorama and its impact on the imagination.
ABOUT THE GALLERY:
Home Gallery is an experimental exhibition space run by Andrew Nord and Laura Shaeffer out of their home in Chicago’s Hyde Park neighborhood. Their mission is to show emerging as well as established artists whose work fits their "inhabited" space in scale and aesthetic, with the intent to further understanding of contemporary art. It broadens the artistic community by creating an informal and welcoming social space in which to view art as an integral part of everyday life.
