Please keep in mind that we receive many booking requests for bookings, and as we are a small, mostly volunteer staff, we may not be able to respond to all inquiries. Feel free to follow up, but keep in mind that we book mostly experimental/creative/non-commercial acts that we like. Please send links to music, instead of whole files. Please send links and descriptions for the project you intend to perform with, and preferably not something that may be similar. Also, it often helps to request specific dates, as well as offering to book full evenings (2 or 3 acts) instead of only individual acts. Often we like your sounds but don't have an idea of who/what to pair it with.

Jordan Martins, "Strange Attractions"

Strange Attractions is a project based the Chicago-specific tradition of hand-painted, block-letter grocery signs which have come to be associated with Hispanic markets.   By exaggerating the expressive colors and gestural rhythms of the original signs,  Jordan aims to build patterns that simultaneously attract (fluorescent colors, bold shapes) and conceal (by undermining legibility). In this sense he sees them relating both to natural camouflage and bright plumage used by animals to attract mates, or broader notions of visual stimuli to affect or sculpt behaviour.

This project is partially supported by a Community Arts Assistance Program Grant from the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events, and the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency.

Elastic Vision Gallery exhibits work by Chicago-based 2-D artists at all levels in their careers.
