Andrew Yang: Prismisms
@ Roman Susan
1224 W Loyola Ave, Chicago, IL 60626
Opening Saturday, April 14th, from 3PM - 6PM
On view through Saturday, May 5th
Walking into Roman Susan, it is hard not to look askance. The walls ask you oblique questions. The whole place is a wedge that you are wedged into: the corner of a building that is a large triangular prism interrupting the city’s block-logic. This geometry is only one -ism of “prism” – optical prismatics split light multi-colorfully, while “the prisms through which we perceive” bend our subjectivity. This installation project -isms the prism to see just how the colors, axioms, molecules, and categories scatter forth. Reflection on refractions of light and genealogy, music and materiality.
