Good friend and amazing artist, Irena Knezevic, will embark on her solo show this Friday at the newly re-opened ThreeWalls Gallery. If you’ve never encountered Irena’s work, this will be a fine opportunity to do so. Prepare to be unprepared. Expect to be surprised. Along with a group or Chicago artists and musicians, I will be participating in Irena’s performance piece scheduled to begin promptly at 8pm. Find out more about the show here.

Knezevic’s work spans a variety of media to construct public events where scores, instructionals, and programs come together with sculptural objects to form a narrative inventory. Current areas of research include topics, such as: “secrets,” “involuntary movement,” “dream-wreck,” “liquidity,” “topical and tropical disasters,” “downward spirals,” “bright lights,” “vibratory inscription,” “hallucinogenic modernisms,” and “phantom continents.”
Recent projects and performances have occured at the Museum of Contemporary, Art Chicago; White Columns, New York; Harvard University, Cambridge and Galerie im Regierungsviertel, Berlin. Knezevic earned her MFA from the University of Illinois at Chicago in 2007.
