Joel Kuennen: Planets Are Slore Animals

@ Chicago Manual Style

1927 W Superior St., Chicago IL 60622

Opening Thursday, May 25th, from 5PM - 8PM

Dear Chicago,

You taught me how to read and write about art which ultimately taught me how to make it. So it feels like a homecoming of sorts to be able to show work here at my dear friend @scristello’s @chicago_manual_style.

This work manifests my research into abiogenesis, exoplanets, and experiments with olivine—a magmatic mineral essential in geological carbon sequestration and tectonic stability that makes the climate of Earth hospitable to the forms of life we know.

“In a series of sculptures alongside a permanent architectural intervention, Kuennen transforms Chicago Manual Style into a poetic material meditation on how other worlds enter our imaginary.”
