________________________________
More info about the exhibition:
All Houses Are Haunted explores themes found in Gothic literature and its obsession with interiors—closed rooms, decaying homes, and haunted objects that speak when their owners cannot. Inspired by Victorian narratives where class difference, wealth, and material excess isolate rather than unify, Iacoponi and Kennedy explore objects such as window bars and barriers to spaces where domestic objects become symbols of power, repression, and self-imposed exile.

Directions:
Purple Window Gallery is located inside MANA Contemporary Chicago, at 2233 S. Throop St. Room 845, Chicago, IL 60608. The entrance is on the East side of the building. It is accessible by the #21 #60 and #9 buses, or by walking from the Cermak-Chinatown Red Line stop (granted, it is a long walk).
Please note:
Sometimes Google Maps brings people to the wrong entrance. The entrance is next to the large parking lot entering at South Allport St. & W Cermak. (Look for shipping containers labeled MANA)
Ring the doorbell. The person who lets you in the building will be able to take you to the 8th floor on the freight elevator.
Sometimes it takes a few minutes for the workers to answer the doorbell if they are operating the elevator.
