GroupSOLO
@ Swimming Pool Project Space
2858 W Montrose, Chicago, IL 60618
Opening Saturday, September 19th, from 7PM - 11PM
Swimming Pool Project Space is proud to announce GroupSOLO, a rotating gallery performance of 4 solo shows taking place in a single evening. Artists Carol Jackson, Tom Long, Jeffrey Grauel and Diego Leclery will each have a 45 minute-long solo show during the hours of 7-11pm on Saturday, September 19th. Each exhibit will be installed on the hour by preparators/artists Aza Quinn-Brauner and Daniel Baird. They may paint, spackle, hang, build pedestals, install monitors, and do typical gallery tasks throughout the duration of the art work’s rotation.
The public performance exposes the behind-the-scenes gallery installation and prep work. The on-lookers will experience timely intervals of action allowing singular artists in a group show to be viewed more intimately and critically. Additionally, because of the truncated exhibition times, some guests may come and go with the intention of seeing a specific artist’s work (just as one would come to see a band play their set within a night’s line up) conveniently featuring more obvious social sub-groups within the art viewing and art making public.
By calling to attention some important yet less apparent parts of the gallery experience, the viewer can focus on these moments.
