A show of 40+ photographs opens Friday, June 13 at Medicine Park (Chicago Avenue at Washtenaw) and runs through July 9. Friday's opening reception begins at 8 with dj Lauri Apple spinning. Details and a sample below...
"The geography of Chicago night, forbidding and delicious as these streets might be to a runaway child. Things left behind. Escape routes. Mute facades. Fearful horizons. Landscapes both bright and dark. The creatures that populate threatening places and moments familiar to ghosts, insomniacs and those who fear sleep and dreams to come. A city that does not know you, glimpsed in shards and captured in telling tableaus. The images, large and small, capture specific moments, but also intimately specific moods. William S. Burroughs wrote, "The important fact about urban living: the continued stream of second attention awareness. Every license plate, street sign, passing strangers, are saying something to you." There are messages in "Enter Dream," if you were to recognize them, if you were there to decipher them."
I wish I was there to see the show! Let's meet up in October.
How did it go, Ray?
