Daniel Giles: Plan the Future Perfect
@ South of the Tracks
319 N. Albany Ave
Opening Sunday, March 9th, from 3PM - 7PM
On view through Sunday, April 6th
In his exhibition at South of the Tracks, Plan the Future Perfect, Daniel Giles presents objects and gestures that call to mind instruments and archetypes of political, economic and aesthetic paradigms. The works presented here are facsimiles, reflections, and fragments. They transpose relationships between bodies, objects and the landscapes they inhabit and point to the ways ideologies and identities are suggested, consumed and contested. In his first solo exhibition in Chicago, Giles offers meditations on the spatial and social conditions that shape encounters with transitional urban spaces in anticipation of impending flux.
