LITTLE
UTOPIAS
ALTERATIONS OF EVERYDAY LIFE
A
Select Media Festival
3 Exhibition
OCTOBER 15 - OCTOBER -22 Heaven Gallery 1550 N. Milwaukee Ave. 2 fl
Opening 6pm, Oct 15
part of the SMF3 super show.
Select Media
Festival in conjunction with Heaven Gallery is pleased to present
a sampling of some of the best work from a cross section
of Chicago’s
most talented emerging and established artists and makers.
As
our hopes for social and political change are in flux, forms of resistance
come in the act of creation. The utopian in us all cannot
wait for a distant revolution, so instead we reinvent everyday
life here and now. The little utopias arise between our personal lives
and
the communities and networks that we live, work and drift in.
The Situationists use détournement to demonstrate the scandalous
poverty of everyday life despite the plentitude of commodities.
How do contemporary artists promote the spirit of a revolution,
the idea
of possible change, the allure of a better life? Little Utopias
is a potlatch of contributions by artists seeking to describe or
create
a version of the world they inhabit.
