Catie Burrill & Aespyne Alix – Living Madness: Anguish, Joy, and the Terrors of Existence

@ Chicago Art Department

1926 S Halsted St, Chicago, IL 60608

Opening Friday, November 14th, from 6PM - 10PM

Living Madness reframes mental illness beyond stigma, exploring it as a raw, complex, and deeply human experience. Curated by CAD residents Catie Burrill and Aespyne Alix, the exhibition confronts systemic violence, societal expectations, and existential dread while celebrating resilience, humor, and connection. Through paintings, installations, and soft sculptures, the artists weave personal narratives that embrace both anguish and joy, challenging traditional psychiatric models.
