FlipBooKit Show: Chicago
November 11-December 4, 2016
BYOB Opening Reception November 11, 7-10pm
Not content with one awesome exhibit in November, we've also got new works going up in our side gallery...something a little different...the Chicago edition of the FlipBooKit Show!
What's a FlipBooKit, you ask? FlipBooKit is a DIY hand-cranked movie-loop machine that displays your own video or animated art. It’s a great maker project and it makes for a great gift, easy for any creative aged 8+!
For the exhibit, FlipBooKit inventors Mark Arnon Rosen and Wendy Marvel have curated a selection of artist-designed FlipBooks, all of which will be on display with special motorized FlipBooks! This one will be a fun, lively exhibit that you don't want to miss, plus we'll have DIY FlipBooKits available and will also be hosting a workshop (details below) with Mark and Wendy if you want to jump in and make your own!
Featured Artists: Brandon Sines, Cassia Lupo, Chema SKandal!, Cindy Suen, Clem Stamation, Csaba Klement, Elaine Chen, Eric Fleischaeur, Heather Cardone, Jaime Giraldo, Jeremy Tinder, Julia Liu, Ken Keirns, Kim Lu, Laura Berger, Michael Hsiung, Nate Bear, Patrick Burnell, Rachel Koukal, Ramiro Davaro-Comas, Shawn Cheng, Tony Rabit, Travis Lampe and Victor Kerlow.
Join us for the opening reception on the evening of Friday, November 11, 7-10pm and you'll have a chance to chat with Mark and Wendy who will be in attendance, plus we'll have snacks and beverages (BYOB if you want beer or wine), not to mention awesome music courtesy of DJ Sean Doe.
