@ Watershed Art & Ecology
1821 S Racine Ave, Chicago, IL 60608
Opening Friday, October 10th, from 6PM - 9PM
On view through Sunday, October 12th
Speakers burble in different corners of the room. A tapestry-length score prompts audiences with graphics, musical notation, and text annotations. Various vessels and surfaces marked in multi-colored patterns, for one purpose or another. by-passing-upon invites you into a critical fascination with water infrastructure, playing with possibilities in property lines and watery flows. At the center, curb stops – metal circles in sidewalks and yards covering the shut off valve in a water pipe flowing to a building. Marking division between state- and privately-owned pipes, a physical manifestation of property lines. In noticing, reading, photographing, moving and music-making, curb stops have acted as reminders to ponder the ways water moves with and against real and imaginary boundaries created by humans.
