Artist Talk and Reception: October 24, 2-4pm
Step into Dubhe Carreño Gallery in the West Loop for a virtual trip to Paris's Musée du Montparnasse, where the latest exhibition of Chicago artist Barbara Hashimoto's Junk Mail Experiment will stream live via video feed during the installation and opening events. Hashimotos ongoing environmental art project began in 2007 when she collected and shredded every piece of junk mail sent to her studio for a year. This labor-intensive yet intimate process inspired a series of small works, installations, performances, and international collaborations made possible through blogs, social networking, video- and photo-sharing sites, and web-based communities. See selected works from this project, and don't miss the Artist Talk, where the artist will discuss her practice.
