Opening Friday, January 26th, from 6PM - 9PM
On view through Saturday, March 23rd
Attend the opening reception of Project Onward’s group exhibition Saints & Sinners on Friday, January 26 from 6 to 9 p.m. in the Chase Gallery.
What makes a saint today? Whether we possess a soul or are just an unruly bundle of synapses, how do we measure virtue and corruption? In a pluralistic society, clear-cut moral and spiritual signposts can get lost in the thickets. Do we look for guidance in age-old traditions? In contemporary culture? In our own imaginations? In Saints & Sinners, the artists of Project Onward, a Chicago studio for artists with disabilities and mental illnesses, offer their own thoughts. The visions are often more slippery than a clear dichotomy of good and evil might allow and often, the monstrous and angelic are inextricably bound together, both in the world and within ourselves.
