Dennissa Young: Emotional Archivist: Performance
@ The Martin
2500 W Chicago Ave, Chicago, IL 60622
Opening Saturday, May 27th, from 4PM - 7PM
On May 27th from 4-7p the Emotional Archivist will be in. This performance by relational artist, Dennissa Young comes alongside her solo show titled An Emotional Archive. The artist will be inviting you, the audience to come and archive something of your own.
Bring a flat item no larger than 11 x 17 to the gallery that holds some kind of importance to you. She will walk you through the emotional documents needed to properly compile your item into the emotional database.
This experience is free and reservations can be made within 30 minute windows. Guests may have to wait to interact with Dennissa – but they are welcome to enjoy the gallery while they wait their turn.
The Martin has one step up into the gallery – if you are a guest who requires no steps, you may enter in through Split-Rail, the restaurant we are attached to and make your way into the gallery. Both The Martin & Split-Rail have ADA restrooms.
Want to dine at Split-Rail before or after your gallery visit? We recommend making a reservation.
