Join Villa Albertine for the vernissage of the exhibition Opening Passages : Photographers Respond to Chicago and Paris at 6018North. Meet the artists and curators in person and gain insights into the creative processes behind the captivating works on display.
Part of a multi-site project produced by Villa Albertine and its City/Cité program, this exhibition showcases the works of five photographers: Jonathan Michael Castillo and Gilberto Güiza-Rojas focus on the notion of work, Rebecca Topakian and Marion Poussier question the border or margin, and Marzena Abrahamik takes an interest in the Polish community in Chicago. Each of them, in their own way, highlights multiple, fragmented, or superimposed life trajectories. These works find a particular echo in 6018North’s Edgewater neighborhood, which is characterized by the cohabitation of communities of very diverse origins.
Opening Passages is a city-wide photographic exhibition featuring recent works by ten American and French artists who are interested in the dynamic social landscapes of Chicago and Paris. Selections from all participating artists are on view together downtown at the Chicago Cultural Center, while site-specific installations like this one highlight intersections between artists whose work resonates with similar themes or particular areas within each city.
