Sparks in a Dark Room: Closing Reception

@ Leather Archives & Museum

6418 N Greenview Ave, Chicago, IL 60640

Opening Friday, July 19th, from 7PM - 9PM

Join us for a closing reception of Sparks in a Darkroom: Exchange, Pleasure and Play by Gabriel Martinez. The artist and curator Heather Raquel Phillips will present for one last night.

Gabriel Martinez transforms the photographic darkroom into a nightclub, a Queer church, a laser-lit dance floor dungeon that invites alchemy & the unexpected, exposing mystical evidence onto silver gelatin works. Searching and revealing various aspects of Queer dualities – trauma/futurity, sorrow/ecstasy, positive/negative, macro/micro, corporeal/celestial, destruction/regeneration – Martinez reimagines archival material into unexpected potentials.
