Tara Strickstein : Bloodshed Event An installation of new work Opening Receptions: 7-10pm Friday July 13 11-3pm Sunday July 15 1900 W. Kinzie, 1st floor runs through July 21st by appointment only. www.bloodshedevent.com As a precursor to her upcoming artist residency in Mexico, this work investigates themes of illusion, and the sacred. By redefining shared concepts of space through perspective manipulation, imitated misfortune and forensic pattern reconstruction, this decadent installation requires one to be conscious of the work’s capacity to deceive. Tara Strickstein holds a master of fine art degree from the University of Chicago and currently teaches at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago
