The collisions and ecstasy of 3, 2, 1 . . . and the 6,028th time it gets called. What happens in the limbs, in the gut, on the lips, when everyone in the room locks on synch? Learning To Inherit The Long Slog. In order to be ready we’re lining the windows with plants that thrive in tumult, turning on our TVs, and battening down to find a few kinds of time: 3, 2, 1. . . .

Reception: Saturday, July 11 // 8 PM
Gallery Hours: Tue, Wed, Thu 4-7 PM + Sat 12-3 PM

Please join us for havoc and tumbled, an installation featuring video, 16mm film, sound, and painting. Kera MacKenzie and Andrew Mausert-Mooney were selected for this exhibition from the 2014 ACRE Residency Program. The reception for havoc and tumbled is scheduled in conjunction with the opening of PRO BIAS at The Bike Room, featuring 2014 ACRE Resident artists Cudelice Brazelton, Zoe Berg, Tal Nisim, and Sanaz Sohrabi. The Bike Room (1109 West North Shore Avenue) will be open on Saturday, July 11 from 5-8 PM.
