Brainstorm Installation at the Chicago Cultural Center
Tuesday, March 20: Join us for the installation of Brainstorm,
Chicago Rooms of the Chicago Cultural Center, 10:30 am - 12:30 pm.
Created with artist Jim Elniski over a period of five weeks by the artists of Arts Of Life, Esperanza, and Project Onward, Brainstorm is “a sculpture and an event.” Meet the artists and watch Brainstorm come to life!
It will be made of flexible wood slats collaboratively woven by the artists onto a large tornado-shaped iron rod armature. All of the slat will be painted and/or collaged with printed images by the participating artists. The concept for this work reflects a four year creative process facilitated by the artist Jim Elniski with some of organizations that seeks to strengthen these artists’ identification of themselves as part of a larger community.
