Theo Chin: FUNGIBLES
@ 062 Gallery
1029 W 35th St, Chicago, IL 60609
Opening Friday, August 10th, from 6PM - 9PM
On view through Monday, August 13th
062 Gallery is pleased to present FUNGIBLES by Theo Chin, a show of drawings for 3 animations*.
Fungible – which derives from the Latin verb fungi, meaning “to perform” (no relation to the noun “fungus” and its plural “fungi”)- is a word that often shows up in legal contexts. Something fungible can be exchanged for something else of the same kind. For example, we could say “oil is a fungible commodity.”
– Mariam Webster
Trained in illustration, Theo mixes reportage with imagined form, which he obsessively duplicates into moving imagery with cameras and simulations.
This show considers the life of a drawing; once a static object, now performing as a fungible in the digital image economy.
*Observations

*Flagellation
An consideration of Cartesian image production through a painting by Piero Della Francesca.
*Images
