Francis Alÿs has a show opening this Sunday, Sep 28, 2008 at 4:00 pm at The Renaissance Society. He will be giving an artist talk from 5-6pm in University of Chicago’s Cobb Hall. Cobb Hall is located directly below the Ren in room 307.
I saw Alÿs’ show, Politics of Rehearsal at UCLA’s Hammer Museum in Los Angeles last year and really enjoyed it. This artist lecture should be worth checking out.
The Renaissance Society is located on University of Chicago’s campus at:
5811 S. Ellis Avenue
Bergman Gallery, Cobb Hall 418
Chicago, Illinois 60637
