Happy Collaborationists present: Jesus Mejia & Ruth: Acts Upon Us; a portrait of light and wind
Collaborators Jesus Mejia & Ruth catalogue the affinity between motion and stillness in their sculpture, Acts Upon Us; a portrait of light and wind. The artists find themselves between motions: a pile of sand transcribes the blowing wind, and a mirror reflects the waning light. Without permission, the individual is moved by all else; a beautiful inevitability.
Time: Sunset (approx. 5pm according to an online sunset estimator)
Location: Pulaski Park, Chicago, IL (near the corner of Potomac & Noble)
