FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
On Saturday, December 1, 2007, Center on Halsted, 3656 N. Halsted St., will host a visual arts installation,
After, image: a memorial for those lost to HIV/AIDS, by Cole Robertson. This collection of photographs is meant to serve as a memorial, in the most traditional sense—an aesthetically beautiful gesture commemorating the past. The images, donated by the family members of those lost to HIV/AIDS, are re-workings of photographs of those lost to AIDS. They are then digitally manipulated and printed on fine vellum. They hang as a testament, as a loving tribute, and as a call to action.
Cole Robertson, an MFA-photography graduate of Columbia College, has exhibited work internationally and nationally and chose Center on Halsted specifically to host the installation. “As I work on this, I feel some empty places in my life—spots that should be occupied by people . . . people who are gone.”
The event begins with a reception at 4:00pm and is followed by a talk back with the artist and others who contributed images to the exhibit. A donation of $10 is requested.
This project is supported by a Community Arts Assistance Program grant from the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Illinois Arts Council, a state agency.BRIDGE ART FAIR
