A HISTORY, A FRAGMENT, A TERRITORY OPENING FEATURING:
Rebecca Tanda
Curated by Chris Grieshaber

EXTRA Projects is pleased to invite you to the opening of Project 007: A HISTORY, A FRAGMENT, A TERRITORY on Friday,
November 8th, 2019 | 7-10PM. A HISTORY, A FRAGEMENT, A TERRITORY is curated by Chris Grieshaber, as part of EXTRA’s 2019-2020 programming series showcasing local Chicago-based emerging and mid-career talent.

This November, EXTRA showcases the work of Rebecca Tanda, featuring mixed media and sculptural work paired with a site-specific installation in manufactured materials such as glass and plastics. Topics such as development, neighborhood change and technology are investigated by referencing the history of the exhibition space. Through layers of opacity and transparency rendered physical, Tanda invites us to consider how these concerns might influence our lives now.

In addition, please join us for a mold-making workshop and artist talk on Sunday, November 17, 2019 | 2-5PM where the artist will introduce the premise of mold-making as a conceptual premise to her work, and walk participants through the process through a hands-on demonstration.

A graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Rebecca has exhibited regionally and internationally. Rebecca’s work considers space, power and mythology through a materially driven sculptural practice.
