Nelson W. Armour: The Identity Project
@ Firecat Projects
2124 N Damen Ave, Chicago IL 60647
Opening Friday, August 30th, from 7PM - 10PM
On view through Saturday, September 21st
In leaving our house of 35 years, I tried detaching myself from my T-shirts, hats, and other apparel but was hampered by the memories. They contain so many of the stories and phases of my life. In these self-portraits, I feel like an “everyman,” an archetype of people everywhere.
The clothes we wear identify ourselves. The T-shirt goes further; it states and projects, either whimsically or seriously. Why has the tee and hat become so universal? Why do we directly advertise our egos and embrace our idols and causes? What are we trying to say?
