HAIL SATIN: Laura Hart Newlon Solo Exhibition at Trunk Show
Trunk Show | Sunday, April 27, 2014, 2 – 4PM
Eckhart Park | N. Noble St and W. Chestnut St. (one block North of Chicago Ave)
TRUNK SHOW is pleased to announce its April exhibition, HAIL SATIN, work by Laura Hart Newlon.
For our April exhibition, we’re moving from Brandon Alvendia’s five acts to five points with a Laura Hart Newlon piece that brings infernal heat. Newlon’s parodic TRUNK SHOW piece, HAIL SATIN, dialogues beautifully with other work she has made. Seductively flitting between the hyperreal and the banal, Newlon works in an expanded photographic field. Newlon’s explorations of color, perspective, and texture, highlight the irresistibly tactile surfaces of ordinary objects.
Join us Sunday April 27th, just south of the abandoned church at Eckhart Park. We’ll be serving up bedevilling snacks, listening to brutally smooth music and premiering brand new work by an exciting young artist. Make way for the hottest new fair: ART BEELZEBUB.

ABOUT TRUNK SHOW
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 (SOLD OUT! Stickers still available à la carte). Openings follow a nomadic, symbiotic logic and include a public affixing, radio jams, and road snacks. Newcity named it The Best New Gallery on a Car Bumper.
Upcoming artists include Eric D. Watts, Stephanie Barber and Alex Chitty
