Erik Peterson: SWWMYOSBL Hall of Fame
@ Happy Collaborationists' Exhibition Space
1254 N Noble St, Chicago, IL 60642
Opening Saturday, January 29th, from 6PM - 10PM
A non-league a non-championship and its stars.
Enshrining the storied tales of bats a-flame, balls made of liquid water, and fielders flying just faster than the zingers of one loud-speaking announcer, the SWWMYOSBL Hall of Fame recounts and pays tribute to the heroes of the South Western Wisconsin Make Your Own Soft Ball League. Though in existence only one season, within which only one game, the championship, was played between the only two teams in the league, the SWWMYOSBL remains a steadfast symbol of all that is great in this country: John Cougar Mellencamp, Chevy trucks, and artists playing sports. (Or is it players making art?) We have here whatever peaks your interest, be it a bat fashioned from a cow’s legbone or a ball hewn of sawdust stuffed dustmasks, for within these walls the derring-do of champions bubbles up, it truly is a Hall of Legends.
Work by Erik Peterson.
