You Will Die, Too: Closing Ceremony
@ Public Works
1539 N Damen Ave, 2nd Floor , Chicago, IL 60622
Opening Friday, May 26th, from 7PM - 11PM
Join us for the closing of You Will Die, Too, an exhibition confronting death head on. The stoics have a saying, “Memento Mori” or “Remember that you will die.” For some, this is no dread-inducing koan, it’s a call to action, a reminder of the precious and temporal nature of life.
Pairing artists from the extreme metal community and its adjacent territories, this exhibition explores death as an affirmation of life, unearthing beauty in the decay and finding enlightenment in the darkness.
A special performance from local legend Helen Money sunsets the exhibition. And in the spirit of the eternal, Someoddpilot Records is resurrected with an archival recording from Ariah, the 80’s highschool thrash metal group you’ve been dying to hear. A commemorative You Will Die, Too zine will also be available.

Helen Money stands as one of the most unique and versatile cellists working today.
