Samuel Schwindt: Revealed Armor: Leather and Light

@ Epiphany Center for The Arts

201 S Ashland Ave, Chicago, IL 60607

Opening Friday, May 31st, from 6 PM - 9 PM

On view through Friday, July 12th

Inspired by archival research in Chicago, Samuel Schwindt’s site-specific installations and sculptures explore stories both forgotten and willfully disappeared. He rebuilds and re-contextualizes Chicago Queer lineages, seeking to showcase the LGBTQ+ community’s fight to preserve their legacies and legends. Through leather and light, Schwindt manifests works that are ambiguous, amorphous, and abstract bodies.

Curated by independent curator and media producer Pia Cruzalegui, Revealed Armor: Leather and Light is an exhibition about untold tales and inconclusive archives. The work celebrates the humanity of LGBTQ+ persons, emphasizing light, boldness, discovery, and the impetus of an artist reconciling past and present.
