"Art Shine, Bring your bling" An Art event by Alta Buden

Dear Everyone,

You are all cordially invited to my latest art event, an evening of
glitter and absurdity. Please wear your shiniest outfit (or at least
one bright item, bright colors are ok too, but think about Elvis's
gold suit, or, the eighties, as best you can:)) to:

1900 W. Kinzie
Friday, October 5th from 6-9 (and beyond!)

Refreshments will be provided.

Cheers!
Alta Buden

Alta Buden, Chicago
The theory of evolution posits that in the struggle fore existence, only those capable of adapting to their environments will remain to successfully pass on their genes. In culture everything is evolving daily on a microscale, people make arbitrary choices, love and hate random things, some muffins sell faster than others. Things gain meaning through use and familiarity, objects collect historical residues. Images become icons or fade into obscurity. Love grows from day to day interactions, and from dramatic events. I don't have a real agenda or plan, I'm simply trying in my work to address the absurdity that I find around me, in biology, in textiles, in thriftstores, on the streets, at parties, on craigslist. I love it, I'm overwhelmed always, and I'm trying to focus.

Exhibition October 5th, 2007
