Chicago, IL
Alex Chitty is currently conducting an ongoing study of the philosophy of object-oriented ontology, the history of trompe l'oeil and still life paintings, advertising photography, the production of Hollywood sets and props, and the evolution of Google image search and software programs like Photoshop and Rhino 3D. Their goal during the Bemis Center residency is to use the space and time to take risks and experiment with performance, video, and sound, incorporating sculpture and photography that is punchy, bold with color, and turns up the volume.
