Day of Leisure
@ Leisure
Division & Western Avenues, Chicago
Opening Saturday, August 10th, from 4PM - 10PM
On view through Saturday, August 10th
Day of Leisure is a one-day group show of time-based art. Featuring six Chicago artists with adventurous practices in diverse media, Day of Leisure will unfold from afternoon into evening, presenting interspersed periods of contemplation, confrontation, and surprise. Across installations and performances spanning video, sound, technology, and bodies, artists will present new and existing works anchored in the tensions of our contemporary condition – labor and exploitation, faith and memory, ecologies both artificial and real.
Please RSVP in advance at the link. Day-of capacity will be highly limited. Admission is free with RSVP. Voluntary donations are greatly appreciated: any amount helps us fairly compensate artists for their labor. Refreshments and a light communal dinner will be available in our garden.
We invite you to join us in supporting forward-looking art, building local community, and having a bit of fun at the same time. ☺
