Opening Friday, May 3rd, from 5PM - 8PM
On view through Thursday, June 27th
Chicago Artists Coalition proudly presents Garden of Liminal Bodies, a two-person exhibition by 2023-24 HATCH Residents Molly Blumberg and Vince Phan, curated by Christian Gonzalez Ho.
Molly Blumberg’s sculptural practice sits in the spaces between our human bodies and the materiality of lived environments, imagining their potential permeabilities. Trained as a sculptor and a papermaker, her work is grounded in an extreme engagement with materiality. Through a playfully physical studio practice and a dedication to process based exploration, she explores how it feels to be a body.
Vince Phan’s works are systems-oriented investigations of chaos in nature and the nature in the chaos. They adopt furniture and compost organic materials to create a hybridized existence of humans and nature. These creations are then traded for soil in human-occupied territories in order to create a new terra of possibility. Hybridizing objects and materials, they re-naturalize the man-made back into a natural ecology that once was its birthplace but has now become foreign.
The opening reception will be on May 3 from 5-8pm.
