Chris Larson: The Residue of Labor

Booth 107 + PROFILE Installation
EXPO Chicago Navy Pier
Booth 107 + PROFILE Installation
Rooted in the relationships between individual and architecture, body and machine, Chris Larson contemplates a history of human labor that has steadily faded from many rural communities. Suspended eight feet in the air on pedestals adorned with industrial sewing machines, 20 miles of thread from an abandoned American garment factory that used to sew for brands like Ralph Lauren fastens machine to architecture, interacting with the structural elements of Chicago’s Navy Pier. The public debut of his never-before-seen installation is situated over the cafe, directly in conversation with the thread paintings, video, and pattern drawings exhibited by ENGAGE Projects in Booth 107.

ENGAGE Projects is thrilled to announce THIS IS TEXT BASED ART, a solo show by Adam Daley Wilson. The gallery walls will be covered in towering large-format oil paintings that use semiotic concepts as a means of exploring ideas about the meaning of objective and subjective human theories, from evolution to psychiatry to social justice. In alignment with EXPO’s Art After Hours on April 14th from 6:00 - 9:00pm, join us at ENGAGE Projects for the opening and a performance by Daley Wilson at 7:30pm in which the artist will create a large-scale oil stick painting using his personal writing system from start to finish in the gallery.
