Opening reception: Liz Magor, BLOWOUT
From the event description:
Celebrate the opening of Liz Magor's solo exhibition, BLOWOUT. For more than four decades, Magor's practice has quietly dramatized the relationships that develop among objects. Manipulating found objects much in the way an author gathers fragments of stories, the Canadian artist brings them together into a newly commissioned body of work that she describes as "a collection of tiny intense narratives."
When: Saturday, April 27, 5-8 p.m.
Where: The Renaissance Society, 5811 S. Ellis Ave.
Admission: Free
