Lise Haller Baggesen: HATORADE RETROGRADE
@ Rational Park,
2557 W. North Ave, Chicago, IL 60647
Opening Friday, May 6th, from 6PM - 9PM
On view through Saturday, June 11th
Join Threewalls on Friday May 6, 6:00-9:00 pm for an opening reception for Lise Heller Baggesen’s HATORADE RETROGRADE.
HATORADE RETROGADE features a selection of sartorial works set against a backdrop of revisionist “lipstick formalist” paintings to present a dystopian vision of the United States in the year 2033. In this glimmering post-capitalist burnout, we must learn to make-do-and-mend, to repurpose art for art’s sake, and perhaps to forgive –but not forget—certain moments in the past when we were all hitting the Hatorade a little too hard. Central to the exhibition is a motley crew of female protagonists, each imbued with a unique voice and delivered by an all-female cast.
