Hope Esser & Daviel Shy: Take Aim

@ The Hills Esthetic Center

128 N. Campbell Ave. Chicago, IL 60612

Opening Friday, February 14th, from 7PM - 12AM

On view through Friday, March 21st

Take Aim is an exhibition by Chicago artists Hope Esser and Daviel Shy at The Hills Esthetic Center. Esser and Shy, who were lovers from 2005-2011, have had parallel practices, running often extremely close but never intersecting. In Take Aim, they negotiate the back and forth of collaboration, competition and cross-examination in a field of play. Drawing from the imagery of St. Valentine, the exhibition contains letter correspondence, interpretations of Man Ray’s Object to be Destroyed, and an altered game of badminton. The artists combine their tools of writing, film, sculpture, and performance into a Valentine’s Day jubilee of brokenheartedness. Ouch.
