Eseosa Edebiri: Perhaps Blue is a Cool Color, After All
@ ACRE Projects
2439 S Oakley Ave, Chicago, IL 60608
Opening Thursday, April 6th, from 6PM - 9PM
On view through Friday, April 28th
ACRE Projects is pleased to present “Perhaps Blue is a Cool Color, After All,” a solo show by artist Eseosa Edebiri.
A few parts that make up the whole, Perhaps Blue is a Cool Color, After All, is an examination room, a doorway to neither here nor there, yet when or wherever you would like to come or go, and the remnants of the playroom in the children’s hospital.
Cold plastic is always present in a space where nothing is a given.
The words came as the artist lay in a hospital bed, the same room for 16 weeks straight, pondering the familiarity, or in this instance, the lack thereof. Something felt ajar. Consumed with looking, searching, wanting – until realizing what was missing: the sky panel. Though the patient is not drawn to meditation, this exception opened the door to focus on a space outside of the one within. This space felt timeless, it was the window to any space and time in any city or state. As we age, spaces age as well, losing their warmth and color, turning them into cold plastic.
In conjunction with the exhibit, ACRE will host an artist talk presented by Eseosa Edebiri at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, April 14th.
