Annual Real St. Patrick's Day Parade @ The Whale
The Annual Real St. Patrick's Day Parade is today! It will kickoff between 3-5pm and go 'till 4am, or come at noon to help with floats (2025 S Halsted -- enter through back alley). All -- people, costumes, floats, music, intoxicants -- are welcome. So are kids, but if you bring them you are responsible for their safety at the Whale, in the Tetanus Garden, and on the street.
Looking For: New Works @ Salvage One
The Looking For: New Works project asks a simple question: What are you looking for? Mike Nourse and Marta Sasinowska ask people what they are looking for in life, and the answers point to the power of searching and how jobs can lead to a sense of self. Answers are also used to setup scenes that are digitally shot. Images from the photo shoot are mined and ultimately a large-scale portrait is gel-medium transferred onto a found window. With the finished works and exhibition Nourse and Sasinowska present a time and place to feature individuals who are searching, and a forum to discuss the larger questions behind employment. The opening reception for this show will be from 4 to 7 tonight at Salvage One: 1840 W Hubbard.
