Who Needs Santa's Lap? Here's a Polar Bear
New Holiday Spirit: Sit on a Polar Bear's Lap, by Diego Leclery
Contemporary art and the holidays don't often mix, but Diego Leclery's New Holiday Spirit: Sit on a Polar Bear's Lap brings the two together this Saturday at The Suburban gallery, 125 N. Harvey Ave. in Oak Park.
From 2 to 4pm, visitors may sit on a life-size polar bear's lap and be hugged, pose for pictures, take a very brief nap -- anything but be mauled and eaten, which is what would normally happen in such circumstances. This is the fourth year Leclery has held polar bear lap hours at the gallery. Admission is free, and (well-behaved) kids are welcome.
