Latham Zearfoss: I Feel the Earth Move
@ ACRE Projects
1913 W 17th St, Chicago, IL 60608
Opening Saturday, October 23rd, from 6PM - 9PM
On view through Sunday, October 24th
I Feel the Earth Move features new work by Latham Zearfoss. Zearfoss uses unconventional materials (watermelon, used underwear collected from friends) to create temporal, site specific installations. Sculpture and photographic work will also be presented.
In the artists’ words: The works in this show seek to map out the possibilities for flat representations of identity to claim mortality as their own process. Vying for melancholia and merriment, Simulacra rebel their own paradigms of mediocrity. Loaded objects dress in the drag of self-reflexive subjects. But the question remains: can a symbol, in time, make the arduous journey back to the privileged realm of the organic?
