THIRST TRAP
@ Bridgeport Art Center
1200 W 35th St, Chicago, IL 60609
On view through Friday, January 3rd
Curated by Stacee Kalmanovsky
Thirst Trap is our collective deep dive into these questions:
What is the difference between a thirst trap and a visual oasis? Can attention seeking be transformative, ie: attention absorbing? How can the thirst trap reclaim power/reverse the objectifying gaze? Are we empowered to renegotiate the image of desire? What systems are in place that generate thirst? To what degree do we reveal our thirst? Can we impose our will on the collective media mind? What do we gain when we gain likes? What makes us thirstiest? This group of artists employ their artistic prowess to lean into these questions. In a pluralistic, media saturated, thirsty world we begin to make moves, choices and meaning.
