THE WINDOW SHOW PLAYFIELDS BY CHICAGO DUO ZOIZOI IS OPENING ON NOVEMBER 20TH

Playfields is a whimsical homage to spaces that fostered Chicago’s socio-sonic history. This exhibition features five distinctly significant venues of the city’s past as they might be commemorated on the playfield of a pinball machine, an entertainment icon in itself that enjoyed its heyday when Chicago was the machine’s manufacturing capital. View this arcade of panels as windows into moments of Chicago’s cultural history; playfields depicting spaces of play from our city’s vibrant past. 

In the context of a pandemic that gave way to an onslaught of beloved establishment closures, making a point to celebrate the memory of long-lost venues is beyond nostalgia — it’s a necessity.

Playfields is a part of the Co-Pro Peers series and will be on view from November 20th through January 15th. Join us for the opening party for Playfields and SLAYSIAN 2.0 - the 20+ artists group show inside Co-Pro - on November 20th from 6 to 9 pm.*

*You must wear a mask and be fully vaccinated. Let’s continue to keep each other and our communities safe. Proof of vaccination will be required.
