The Mighty Bearcats and Object Design League present The Promise of This Moment
Posted in: Uncategorized
The Mighty Bearcats have teamed up with the newly formed Object Design League to present The Promise of This Moment, a collection of pieces from 14 Chicago designers that “augment the everyday”. Coincident with NeoCon, the show will open on June 15th in Wicker Park, Chicago.
This exhibition highlights the capacity of objects to transform banal and commonplace activities into moments of play, relief, beauty and delight. While the objects presented in this show fit squarely into the corners of the everyday — like buttoning up your shirt in the morning, switching an appliance on and off, or not making the bed–they also create new aesthetic and experiential opportunities within routine.
Participants include: Craighton Berman, Greg Bethel, Peter Bo, Jason Chernak, Bradley Duncan, Giffin’Termeer, Steve Haulenbeek, Materious, Bryan Metzdorf, Michael Savona, Garrett Smith, and Smith & Linder.
