You Will Die Too
@ Public Works
2141 W North Ave., Chicago, IL 60647
Opening Friday, March 24th, from 7PM - 11PM
On view through Saturday, May 27th
Public Works hosts “You Will Die Too,” a collaborative show featuring the work of prolific artists in and adjacent to the extreme metal genre.”
Like its 2019 forebear “You Will Die”, “You Will Die Too” is curated by Scott Shellhamer, an artist and former member of the Chicago metal band American Heritage. In putting together this show, Shellhamer sought artists who traverse the underground, unearth beauty in the decay and find enlightenment in the darkness.
The Chicago Reader said of the 2019 exhibition: “‘You Will Die’ does what it intended to do. It celebrates the icons of extreme metal art and features work by artists who those in the scene admire. Most importantly, it is a reminder to question our dismal existence and emphasize the reality that yes, we will all die.”
