Liz Magor: Blowout

Liz Magor: Blowout opens Saturday, Apr 27, 5 – 8 pm at The Renaissance Society at the University of Chicago. 

For more than four decades, Liz Magor’s practice has quietly dramatized the relationships that develop among objects. Drawing on materials familiar from daily life, she carefully pairs elements of tenderness and exposure, often playing soft against hard, weak against strong, hand-made against mass-produced. Each artwork conjures broad social histories and is driven by intimate, contingent dynamics of power, desire, and vulnerability.
