Leather and Fur: Uncommitted Crimes
@ Parlour and Ramp
2130 W 21st St, Chicago, IL 60608
Opening Friday, November 8th, from 6 PM - 9 PM
On view through Friday, December 6th
Parlour and Ramp in November presents “Leather and Fur: Uncommitted Crimes,” a duo show of sculptors Catie Burrill and Samuel Schwindt. In an epoch riddled with mixed signals of luxury and economic subterfuge, Fur-dom Catie Burrill and Leather-dom Samuel Schwindt provoke seductive aesthetics to skewer cultural normativity. The exhibition delves into the intricate relationship between materiality and message, and the artists utilize charged materials to remix stereotypical stories. Potential energy permeates the work in a state of “uncommitted crimes” as Theodore Adorno wrote in a rallying cry to artists who work against the status quo and celebrate the counter-cultural. The exhibit opens November 8, with a reception from 6-9 pm, and an after-party 9-close.
