Peter Wächtler: Secrets of a Trumpet
@ The Renaissance Society
5811 S Ellis Ave, Chicago, IL
Opening Saturday, February 6th, from 4PM - 7PM
On view through Sunday, April 3rd
Join us to celebrate the opening of Peter Wächtler, Secrets of a Trumpet, with an artist talk at 5pm (location TBD).
A lounging bronze crocodile, an oversized leather bandage, an animated rat singing Bruce Springsteen: Peter Wächtler’s practice oscillates between the prosaic and the outlandish. His works are neither ironic nor sentimental: though composed of familiar elements and executed in earnest, they acknowledge a limit to their ability to communicate, often to comedic effect.
At the Renaissance Society, Wächtler presents a new body of work, including watercolors, wooden constructions, and large-scale bronze figures. Secrets of a Trumpet is the Brussels-based artist’s first solo museum exhibition in the United States.
[Please note: This event takes place on a Saturday, which is a departure from our usual Sunday openings.]
