Mara Baker: Blue Glue and Other Explorations
@ Happy Collaborationists' Exhibition Space
1254 N Noble St, Chicago, IL 60642
Opening Saturday, March 26th, from 6PM - 10PM
On view through Saturday, March 26th
Blue Glue and Other Explorations is a new body of work consisting of drawings, photographs and a site-specific installation that grew directly out of a residency this past summer with ACRE located in rural Southwest Wisconsin. The installation will feature a collection of piled drawings and sculptural constructions that morph and respond to the unique exhibition space at Happy Collaborationists. Materials crucial to the project include; Blue Glue (aka blue painters tape) as a means to draw, pile, adhere and bind and 6 years of accumulated studio detritus (precious, abandoned, minuscule and substantial). The work explores the mental and physical act of collection and how drawing can simultaneously reveal and bury a material history.
