Speculation and The Cloak
@ FPC Basement Gallery
6400 S Kimbark Ave, Chicago IL, 60637
On view through Friday, May 23rd
Propagate Cooperative and the arts program at Chicago First Church are pleased to present Speculation and The Cloak with Hugo Zelada (@_hugo_zelada), Eli Greene (@_blueingreen), and Florence Aurora Woolley(@rence_whooly).
Three installations of moving image works present three ways of looking towards the sacred and the absurd. Community, land (spirits), religion. Erasure, borders, the paranormal. How do external forces speculate and leverage the personal interactions with what is beyond ourselves, bigger than one another, for that which is not currently present. The cloak shrouds both the benevolent and the sinister as it arrives in the night, or, increasingly, broad daylight. When the tomb opens, and the shroud is all that remains, how might we work backward, piece together light, image, memory, to figure what “really” happened.
Æcumen, containing at once both Ecumen (from the greek Oikoumenikós) meaning the whole inhabited world, and used today to refer to efforts to find unity between religious sects, and Acumen, referring to a quickness of perception or discernment; penetration of mind; the faculty of nice discrimination. Æcumen is a site specific installation and exhibition series in the nooks and crannies of Chicago First Church.
