Jason Hanasik: He Opened Up Somewhere Along the Eastern Shore

@ iceberg projects

7714 N Sheridan Rd, Chicago, IL 60626

Opening Saturday, January 15th, from 6PM - 9PM

On view through Saturday, February 26th

He Opened Up Somewhere Along the Eastern Shore is a photography project which engages image-making as a platform to intervene inside Western culture’s traditions and expectations related to masculinity, class, and heroism. This project opens up a space for a counter-narrative to exist. This new narrative focuses on individual experience, vulnerability, and intimacy as opposed to that which is enforced by the State, an impenetrable unit of men.

“We, the men of these images and I, might not sit at an equal distance from the center, but we all have a complicated relationship to what is considered normal—to our benefit and our destruction.”
