Edra Soto: I In The Sky
@ Harold Washington College
30 E Lake St, Chicago, IL
Opening Wednesday, December 2nd, from 10am - 5PM
On view through Friday, February 12th
The President’s Gallery at Harold Washington College presents I IN THE SKY, a solo exhibition by Chicago-based artist Edra Soto. Edra Soto’s exhibition I IN THE SKY is a live experimental installation that departs from traditional, pre-planned gallery displays and structure. The exhibition and complementary visual and sonorous experiences will unfold live in front of the audience during the opening receptions as the show’s installation is created via Soto’s expressive gestures. With the live audience, Soto will create all new work that picks up and riffs on projects from her artistic history – for example, depicting a timeline that features mainstream cultural characters influential to her upbringing in Puerto Rico; creating overlapping sounds of laughter, instrumental sounds, and live actions; or covering the existing institutional furniture in colorfully patterned and adorned textiles. The artist’s goal for this show is to create a clashing, cacophonous space that embodies her I while projecting itself into the Sky. All events are free and open to the public.
