Emma Rozanski & Gonzalo Escobar Mora present new work at Elastic Arts Chicago →

Our Emma Rozanski and Gonzalo Escobar Mora have curated a group collaborative show with Liz Gomez and Elastic Arts Chicago for the North American premiere of 3-channel video ‘Walden [verb]’

Walden [verb] is a mixed-media show consisting of work made by members of the cast and crew of a 3-channel video installation called Walden [verb]. The 3-channel work will be the central piece of the show, and ten satellite pieces in different media will form a creative grouping to accompany. Each artwork will be connected to and inspired by the main work either by theme, underlying discussion, visual aesthetic, materials, or location/space.

Artists in show: Liz Gomez, Yoni Goldstein, Gonzalo Escobar Mora, Madigan Burke, Zach Barner, Hadley Austin, Ronen Goldstein, Guy Fixsen, Bobbie Meier, Steve Meier, and Daniele Wilmouth

When: July 12th - July 25th 2024

Where: Elastic Arts - 3429 W. Diversey #208, Chicago IL, 60647    -   https://elasticarts.org

About ‘Walden [verb]’, the 3-channel video installation: A twenty-two minute impressionistic adaptation of the book ‘Walden’, with playful abstractions relating to critiques of his life and work. We follow a young woman in the snowy woods as she undertakes various ritualistic procedures in nature and in symbolic spaces. The film links themes of environmentalism and human discord to weave fragments of dystopian narrative, the three channels linked by a single soundscape.

Notes: 

-The exhibition will also be on display in a limited capacity during the evenings of the regular performance schedule of Elastic Arts - video sound will be restricted.

-Appointments for private viewings can also be requested

-Live music tickets available directly through Elastic Arts (booking recommended): https://elasticarts.org/events
