Benjamin Regozin & Brandon Seckler: Light Touch
@ HUME
3203 W North Avenue, Chicago, IL
Opening Friday, June 5th, from 7PM - 9PM
HUME presents: Light Touch
Benjamin Regozin and Brandon Seckler’s Light Touch aims to reveal nature as indistinguishable from the human ecosystem. By taking uniquely manmade objects – the plastic bag, a boxing ring – and recontextualizing them as something as organic as a flower, they ask us to see ourselves as intrinsically linked to the world we inhabit. The things we make and use aren’t unnatural inasmuch as humanity is unnatural; they can instead be treated and understood in the same way that we gently thumb the petal of a tulip.
Please join us for an opening reception to celebrate these works.
