Copper Odyssey 2: Museum of Miracles
@ The Center for Mad Culture
410 S Michigan Ave, #419, Chicago, IL 60605
Opening Friday, April 4th, from 5PM - 9PM
On view through Saturday, May 31st
The Center for Mad Culture is proud to present Museum of Miracles, a solo exhibition by artist Cam Collins. The exhibition is a unique chance to dive into a world envisioned by the artist. Collins has created a PC game which can be played and viewed in the gallery space, taking place in a world governed by colors, powered by industrialization, and affected by conspiracy.
This project will focus on a singular space within this world where all of these facets come together: a museum. An entire museum cannot be placed within a room, but Collins’ has developed an interactive experience that not only acts as a ludonarrative gallery for the people in this world, but also as a display of Collins’ own anxieties catalyzed by Earth’s own qualities. Questions of humans as a physical artistic resource are answered by the Sun that shines inside of a museum, and it is a chaotic and violent answer that can harmlessly reside in both the head of Collins and in the museum itself. During this residency, Collins will be modifying this interactive gallery space to let viewers roam freely and unearth the paintings themselves.
Disability Access
The Center for Mad Culture is committed to accessibility. AI captioning services will be available at all events, and an Access Doula will be present at both the reception and workshop. The space is wheelchair accessible, and a low-stimulation environment will be available for attendees who need it.
This exhibition runs from April 4th to May 31st.
The Center for Mad Culture’s regular hours are Friday and Saturday from 11:00am to 5:00pm, or by appointment. Please email info@madculture.org to schedule a time.
