Pleiades Series: Butt Mommy, Mrs. Hands
@ Elastic Arts
3429 W Diversey Ave, #208, Chicago, IL 60647
Opening Friday, June 6th, at 8PM
At this month’s Pleiades Series we’ll hear two solo sets from prolific Chicago artists. Experimental sound artist and musician Nicole Alonso is Mrs. Hands. Her work blends sampling, field recordings, electronic manipulation, and live performance to explore themes of space, memory, and identity.
Butt Mommy (Nat Strickland) uses performance art, noise, viola, found recordings, loops, synths, and field recordings to mirror the rich, darkly chaotic lives of the Filipino diaspora. They explore expressions of resistance, unity and escalation, veering back and forth between playfulness, grief, satire and rage.
After the solo sets we’ll have the classic open jam for all femme/trans/nonbinary artists. Bring an instrument, your body, your voice, and join in! Email pleiades@elasticarts.org to reserve a spot, or show up at the beginning of the night for sign-up.
$15 / $10 w/ Student ID – Tickets Available at the Door
Free for Open Jammers
