Ruby Que is a Chicago-based installation artist. In their work they open portals and create hauntings. Many of their projects grapple with absences: the missing person, the deserted homeland, the obsolete medium, the traumatic memory. They try and often fail to fill, embrace, or expand these gaps with videos, projections, stories, and sculptures. Human connection lies at the center of their practice and they enjoy engaging the audience as co-authors and documentarians.
Que writes: “I am offering Bird Show a new body of spoons made of cast bronze, aluminum, walnut, and poplar. The sculpting and polishing processes vary for each material, but the goal remains the same – to create space for holding.”
Que can be found on instagram @rubyq.ue
