The Weatherproof Anniversarial
@ Weatherproof
3336 W Lawrence #303, Chicago, IL 60625
Opening Saturday, April 13th, from 4PM - 9PM
On view through Sunday, May 12th
Weatherproof will host a benefit auction masquerading as a group show, comprised of 30+ supporters and community members, opening during EXPO weekend and hosted by The Auction Collective. We are very excited to celebrate (nearly) 2 years of programming across both spaces, and to try to give the project a semblance of financial stability going forward.
WHY???? WHY???? Since 2022, Weatherproof has operated as an artist-first gallery/project space/whatever, showing challenging and non-commercial work from emerging and mid-career artists. We would like to keep doing this. While our overhead is small, largely taken up by rent and shipping costs, we aim to cover these costs and more to facilitate larger production budgets for shows, and fund off-site shows outside of Chicago to publicize and share the incredible work coming out of the city RIGHT NOW THIS VERY SECOND!
To take part in the bidding, register on the auction collective site!
‘O vile nights away from home under your blond rooves
The greasy plain vastly stretches closer
To the drop I step in for
O to be 16, mean, and belligerent as a servant
Of the people, driving the herd down
To Omaha to get unfed, and burnt like a mother again
O my brothers and your kids, faking it on inner tubes
You make me make it making you
Like a long cool glass a water, unlisted, unlimited!
O baby sticking out of your great great clothes
I found it particular in you to have pre-dawn
Dressed for school, as if such were the trips taken
To ready places. I comprehend a maplike cynicism
In the romance of certain offspring
Rushing to the vet on wet asphalt of a night
O holes in the sky like grease! You accept me
For leaving us out and out’
