Summer is over. A chill is in the air. What better time to take a walk. See the future of artistic expression and experience some thoughtful reflection.
WHAT: "When we dwell, we seek refuge in the comforts allowed by shelter. Likewise, we may also dwell in the comforts of a protected recollection. We struggle to fabricate and penetrate these dwellings.
Columbia College Chicago presents Dwelling, an exhibition featuring the works of thirteen artists who explore the dual-conceptions of what it means to “dwell.”
This is only one of the exhibits you will experience on the walk.
The exhibition includes works which engage themes, imagery and processes often associated with the dwelling such as interior/exterior, access/entrance, shelter/escape, construction/reconstruction, etc., alongside works that use many of the same themes to address memory such as the fleeting and inaccessible nature of personal recollections or the reconstruction of past events and narratives.
This pairing occurs against the backdrop of the dwelling-place as it is often the stage for our most coveted and intimate memories. A variety of media is used to convey Dwelling including video, photography, sculpture and installation.
