DESCRIPTION:Ron Athey – Marquis Von Bayros – Rachael Bos – Jamie Fle
 tcher – Danny Frownfelter – Norbert Kox – Bill Lilly – Monika Plio
 plyte – Sun Ra – Philipp Schopke – Jon Serl – Bronislaw “Bruno
 ” Sowa – Maria Vanik – Jean Wilson – Albert Zahn\n  \nPray\, carv
 e\, bleed\, sing. Insist that to look death in the face\, ritually and rep
 eatedly\, is how one kisses life on the lips. This is magic understood pla
 inly: not sleight of hand\, but the discipline of transformation\, and rel
 igion in its most degraded form. \nThe sacred\, in this view\, is not piet
 y but rupture: sacrifice\, ecstasy\, laughter\, daemonic entities\, and th
 e corpse. Death here is not simply a subject but a method. Art becomes the
  site where the restricted economy of production and survival is deliberat
 ely breached\, where a sovereign act of wasting oneself – bleeding\, pra
 ying\, dancing\, carving toward no useful end – recovers a continuity be
 tween beings that ordinary\, bounded selfhood forecloses. The works gather
 ed here stage exactly this breach: each refuses the discreteness the self 
 is supposed to maintain\, offering itself instead as a willful expenditure
 \, a controlled burn of the prairie’s boundary – on the border where t
 he living meet the dead. \nBeneath that scorched wound runs a river. Death
  is not an event waiting at the end of a life but a force already coursing
  through it. A pure differentiation\, the self already a multiplicity bein
 g continuously undone and reassembled beneath its own name. This current t
 reats the human not as a form to be preserved but as a threshold to be lau
 ghed at\, dissolved\, desire and death fused into a single accelerant burn
 ing through identity toward what is on the other side. This exhibition’s
  icons are not meditations on mortality\, they are remnants of mortality
 ’s discharge\, operations and apparatuses built by hand\, and by body\, 
 to run the current of death through the self on purpose – not to master 
 it\, but to see\, however briefly\, who or what rears its head from beneat
 h the surface. \n  \nOpening reception:\nAugust 7\, 2026\n5-8pm \n  \nCX
 W hours with the guest curator:\nSeptember 17\, 2026\n5:00 – 8:00 pm \nT

 bodies of water in Chicago. \nIf The Sky Could Dream is supported\, in par
 t\, by a Foundation for Contemporary Arts Emergency Grant \nAbout Irene Hs

 ea ceremony\, or chanoyu (茶の湯)\, is a living practice shaped throu
 gh the preparation and sharing of a bowl of tea. Within this seemingly sim
 ple yet carefully considered act\, objects\, gestures\, movement\, attenti
 on\, hospitality\, and relationships come together. \nThe Way of Tea pres
 ents tea utensils and related materials from the collection of the Japanes
 e Culture Center of Chicago\, including objects from the collections of th
 e late Ikka Nakashima Sensei and Omar Francis Sensei\, as well as objects 
 acquired by the Center. Additional objects are drawn from the private coll
 ection of Mami Takahashi. Accompanied by video documentation\, the exhibit
 ion considers how cultural knowledge is carried through objects\, embodied
  practice\, and relationships between teacher and student\, host and guest
 . \nThe Way of Tea is a part of our Japan in Practice rotating exhibito
 n series. Japan in Practice is a rotating exhibition series presented in
  celebration of the International Museum of Surgical Science’s new Japan
  Room\, opening October 23\, 2026. Bringing together contemporary artists\
 , cultural practitioners\, and objects from the Japanese Culture Center co
 llection\, the series explores relationships among art\, the body\, materi
 al\, memory\, health\, and everyday life. \nChanging exhibitions consider 
 how artistic and cultural practices—from calligraphy\, tea\, and textile
 s to contemporary interdisciplinary art—carry knowledge through the body
  and across generations. Presented alongside the Museum’s collections an
 d its Anatomy in the Gallery program\, Japan in Practice expands conve
 rsations about health and the human experience through artistic and cultur
 al practices connected to Japan. \n\n\n\nRegister on Eventbrite
