A man walks into a bar and has two options. He hits his head, or he ducks and gets a drink.
The three Chicago based artists featured in this show use this binary as a point of departure to moderate a dialogue throughout the exhibition. In an exploration of the power dynamics between art and the public’s preconceived notions of a masculine role within it, the work salutes universal ideals of good intentions while sticking its tongue out at the social norms of being a dude. A painting sags, a wall leans, a television lays on the floor, life goes on.
