Chicago,
IL—The HumanThread
Center in Pilsen’s Chicago Arts District is joined by artists Aaron
Wooten and CJ Hungerman this January for the next exhibition in its
thought-provoking series. Celebrating a culture of peace,
HumanThread expresses Chicago’s creative culture by curating
monthly exhibitions that discuss issues of cultural identity and
social importance.
2012:
Abundant Affliction,
which runs January 9-30, is a provocative collection of work by Aaron
Wooten and CJ Hungerman emphasizing the absurd but common practices
of governments and institutions that inflict rote discontent
throughout society. The exhibition juxtaposes the distinctively
divergent styles that Wooten and Hungerman employ to address the
issues afflicting society. Wooten’s political satire has a
nostalgic presence that criticizes current affairs while Hungerman’s
mechanical motifs express the tedious and unfulfilling roles we
assume that create stress and dissatisfaction in our individual
existences.
The
opening reception is January 13 from 6-10PM in association with The
Chicago Arts Districts 2nd
Friday Gallery Night. The exhibition is open by appointment January
9-30.
Aaron Wooten and CJ Hungerman are local Chicago
artists. After pursuing a film degree, Wooten discovered painting in
2002 and has since exhibited in many festivals and exhibitions in
Chicago. Hungerman earned a MFA in Painting and Design from Northern
Illinois University and currently works as an independent artist and
designer in a variety of media including drawing, printmaking, street
art and installation.
