John Behnke: The Glass Carnival
@ Bridgeport Art Center
1200 W 35th St, 4th Fl, Chicago, IL 60609
Opening Friday, July 21st, from 6PM - 9PM
On view through Friday, August 11th
Enter The Glass Carnival, where reality and fantasy merge into stunning landscapes filled with moving lore. Ghost towns transform into playgrounds for the creatures of John Behnke’s imagination, and whimsical dramas unfold in vivid vignettes. In this universe, mythical sea creatures ascend from their depths, candy-colored cities lie half-forgotten, and a towering peacock struggles to find belonging. Behnke’s art moves between mediums, defying expectations with playful resistance, much like the captivating characters of his creation.
Don’t miss the chance to dive into this strange yet familiar realm firsthand! Join us at the opening reception on Friday, July 21st, from 6-9 pm, where the Behnke will share insights into the stories of these beautiful beasts and their remarkably human journeys in the absence of humanity.
