@ The Renaissance Society
5811 S. Ellis Ave. 4th Floor, Chicago, IL 60642
Opening Sunday, January 22nd, from 4PM - 7PM
On view through Sunday, March 4th
The Renaissance Society invites you to join us on January 22, from 4 to 7pm, for the opening reception of “I Give You All My Money”, an installation by Irish artist, Cathy Wilkes. The opening reception will also include a conversation with the artist from 5 to 6pm in Kent Hall, Room 107 (directly northeast of Cobb Hall on the University of Chicago quadrangle).
Over the past five years, Irish artist Cathy Wilkes (b. 1966) has garnered international attention for her installations whose signature elements are set amongst, and outfitted with, accoutrements of an abject, quotidian nature. Wilkes’ highly subjective work consists of objects (strollers, soiled dishes, dolls, dried flower petals) that recur as symbolic leitmotifs. Her process of selection and arrangement of materials is measured and refined, drawing equally on a precise formal language and the most intimate of personal experiences to create a compelling autobiographical thread. The Renaissance Society will present “I Give You All My Money” whose title, like that of several other works, has a biblical reference regarding sacrifice.
This event is FREE and open to the public. For upcoming events presented in conjunction with this exhibition, see The Renaissance Society website – www.renaissancesociety.org
