Death + Extinction: A Polaroid Exhibition
Somehow all images look more nostalgic on Polaroid instant film. Yet, with digital cameras and the age of live blogging, Polaroid's instant isn't quite up to snuff. Now that Polaroid is ceasing production on their instant film by the end of 2008, it’s time to commemorate this special kind of celluloid before it’s history in its own right. “Death + Extinction: A Polaroid Exhibition” is a collaboration between six Chicago artists and six New York artists who came together one weekend this past June to create a Polaroid project addressing “Death/Extinction.” The exhibition, which is to be held at the Chicago Art Department, opens August 2nd and runs through September 1st. Call KS Rives at 773-852-1717 for more information about the show.
