The Living Dead Art Show
@ Space Oddities
1007 N California Ave, Chicago IL 60622
Opening Friday, October 25th, from 6PM - 9PM
Join us for a celebration of the liminal, and with a nod to transitional states, we welcome the dark side of the year.
In between matter and spirit, we find form and decomposition. The soil, worms, and bacteria host the rest of the planet from the ground up. We find ourselves nourished by the dead, the viral creatures find their way through our bodies, the dead that feasts on the living. We find mushrooms that spring up from dead logs in the depths of the woods. We find that the hair and nails just keep on growing. The fog descends on the dew and whatever shadows are cast just mark the beginning of the process. As if that isn’t enough, the zombies, ghosts, and folklore will keep us running.
