West Chicago, Illinois: May 7, 2010 - People Made Visible, in collaboration with the West Chicago City Museum, will welcome the fourth artist-in-residence, Gitte Bog, as part of their continuing International Artist-in-Residency Program this month. Bog will set up her space at the Museum, located at 132 Main Street, beginning Friday, May 7, 2010 and she will be in West Chicago through Friday, May 28, 2010.
Bog, a Danish-born artist, currently resides in Mexico City, Mexico, and works with communities as she explores the poetic possibilities in everyday materials, activities, and places. Her work concentrates on identity, memory, history, cultural differences and similarities, and language.
Bog will be working with the community around the topics of food and cooking. Community members of all ages are invited to take part in this exciting venture.
Interested participants can stop by the City Museum during their open gallery hours of Tuesday-Friday, 10:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. and Saturday, 12:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. to view and interact with Bog’s project. For more information on the work of Gitte Bog, visit her website at www.gb09.com.
