Since early September, the Sculpture Center has been hosting a show of new work by Chicago-based “mixed-Reality artists” Bun Stout called The Dream Continues. It brings together fashion, poetry, drag and augmented reality in handmade costumes that “transform wearers, often nightlife personalities, into otherworldly storytellers,” containing what they call their “autobiographical poetry” embedded for the viewer to ferret out.
“These poems live secretly in their garment shells, like a soul, mostly unseen but loving each wearer through their various lives,” says the artist statement. “Dreamed up as fashion objects from an imaginary future, in our reality, they are garments for spaces where self-creation is a practice of self-preservation. The works in The Dream Continues reflect the experience of living through a transition of worlds, with one foot in fantasy and the other in decay.”
Now show is closing this weekend and it will end with a band, with a runway show that demonstrates Stout’s artwork in action and an afterparty with DJ Spacey Lacey, a cash bar and a pop-up photo booth where you can model some of Stout’s garments from their Costume Lending Library. It’s free and open to all.
