Gabe Galloway, Handlebar Chicago

Gabe Galloway: Velodrome
On Display Through Mid-September
Art@Handlebar
2311 W. North Avenue | Chicago

A series of portraits and candid images, Gabe Galloway’s Velodrome documents the members of the Chicago Cuttin Crew between races at a bike racing facility in Northbrook, Illinois during the summer of 2014. In Velodrome, the members of the Cuttin Crew are depicted in their racing kits and by their cycling gear, enjoying the time they spend together engaging in an activity at which they excel. Velodrome depicts professionals at play, and the project addresses the relationship between vocation and avocation, the phenomenon of human thriving, and the ways in which our identities are informed by the things that we enjoy together.

Gabe Galloway is a film photographer practicing in Chicago and in Cleveland. Dedicated to black and white film photography and to traditional darkroom practices, Galloway specializes in portraits and in candid images of people. Galloway has taught in the photography department at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago since 2011.

Disrupted Domestic Dream | Art@Cole’s #26

AnySquared’s Art@Cole’s #26:
Disrupted Domestic Dream

Reception: Sunday, September 7
from 4:30pm to 7:30pm

Cole’s Bar, 2338 N. Milwaukee

  • See some art
  • Grab a beer
  • After 6pm, enjoy some art-viewing music by Foz the Hook.

___

The work of Tararchy, Nathan Becka, and Jessica DeCoudres comes together to forge a “Disrupted Domestic Dream.” Using appropriated imagery and repurposed materials – some with pallets void of color, and some with vibrancy – all artists incite a dark deja vu. A blocked memory. A hazy recollection. A blacked out chunk of time. The feeling is very familiar, but something important is missing. Insert your consciousness into the absurd stream during the opening celebration on September 7. Make sense. Make merry. Make memories.

Reception followed by new Cole’s Chicago Cabaret.
Exhibit on display through November.
