Assaf Evron
@ Trunk Show
1330 W. Chicago Ave.
Opening Sunday, October 6th, from 1PM - 3PM
On view through Friday, November 1st
TRUNK SHOW is elated to announce its second solo exhibition: ASSAF EVRON.
Assaf Evron is an Israeli artist based in Chicago whose work plays on expanded notions of photography. Highly formal, his recent works focus on the hidden structures of photographic space in the digital realm and the play between photographic flatness and sculptural materiality. Though Evron has shown widely internationally (including at numerous Israeli museums and other august spaces), we are pleased to host his first solo show in Chicago: an op-art inspired piece made in response to this unique exhibition space. This, however, is not his first bumper sticker.
Join us October 6th from 1-3pm for coffee, celestial bagels, maybe even black-and-white cookies, and to witness the ritual affixing of the new sticker, the time-tested practice of selling art from a trunk and to chat with the artist. Following the opening, attendees are encouraged to caravan down to the Exhibition Reception for A Study in Midwestern Appropriation, which also features Evron’s work, at the the Hyde Park Art Center. You can even ask for a ride in our gallery.

TRUNK SHOW is a mobile exhibition space often located near Chicago’s Eckhart Park. Following in the rich tradition of Chicago’s apartment, alternative and creative exhibition spaces, Trunk Show is committed to challenging exhibition forms through its unique program. We feature monthly solo shows for which artists are commissioned to design a limited edition bumper sticker. The sticker lives, rides along with, and helps propel the medium beat up 1999 forest green Ford Taurus owned by Raven Falquez Munsell and Jesse Malmed. In addition to the month-long exhibitions, the editioned bumper stickers are sold (from the trunk) for a collector-friendly price and by annual subscription. Openings follow a nomadic, symbiotic logic and include a public affixing, radio jams, and road snacks.
