Opening Saturday, March 26th, from 7:30PM - 10:30PM
On view through Sunday, May 1st
Nobody to Have Any Fun With is an exhibition of works by three Chicago artists from inside and outside the academy: Mac Katter and Dylan Cale Jones (SAIC ‘10) and Vanya Schroeder, English professor (formerly at SAIC), snake handler, video-maker and raconteur.
The show includes examples of fake pre-Columbian clay figures by Ms. Schroeder, bewitching new photos of Mr. Katter’s and a portion of Mr. Jones’ precarious recent sculpture and painting. The egocentric sentiment expressed by many pieces in the show—“Nobody to have any fun with”—is the profundity of an adolescent, who (mis)construes the deeply felt as the heavily significant.
