David Hauptschein & Allen Vandever: Lemonade Freak Show
@ Phygital Art Gallery
1432 W Irving Park Rd, Chicago, IL 60613
Opening Saturday, October 26th, from 5PM - 11PM
On view through Saturday, November 9th
Step into the unknown on Saturday, October 26th from 5 to 11 PM at the Phygital Art Gallery, for a mind-bending journey into the visionary worlds of David Hauptschein and Allen Vandever.
Come gather, spirits of the art world, to witness the fever dream
creations of two artists tangled in the webs of this modern chaos. Hauptschein, a traveler between the waking world and the landscapes of sleep, surrenders to the pulse of AI, bending the machine to craft the surreal visions of his dreams, each pixel a ghost of his unconscious mind. Vandever, always the alchemist, unveils a new series, this time lacing his trademark collages with whispers of AI, tiny digital fragments hiding like secrets within the layers—can you spot them?
In this raw release, Vandever and Hauptschein dive into the monstrous labyrinth of our pop culture psyche, peeling back the mask of mythology to expose the true beasts lurking not in folklore, but in flesh. The monsters we fear, they remind us, are not born of fangs or claws, but of our own twisted humanity. The real horrors wear no costume—they walk among us, haunting the halls of power and pretense. Come see for yourself, if you dare.
Prepare yourself for an evening of revelation, creation, and the
unraveling of myth. Don’t miss this chance to explore the intersection of art, technology, and the raw human condition.
