His first solo exhibition in Chicago, Brendan Fernandes continues his ongoing exploration into the physical act of falling through new works in glass sculpture, installation, photography and performance, offering an extended metaphor for contemporary queer politics.
Beginning with an opening night performance, Fernandes will take over the entire gallery, including a timely new installation piece as part of the gallery’s on the wall exhibition space: forty-nine handmade crystal coat hangers, symbolizing the forty-nine victims of the Orlando massacre. This project will continue inside the gallery, along with new blown glass sculptures evoking ghostly bodies, created during his recent residency at the Museum of Glass, Tacoma, WA.
