Artist Wesley Kimler, aka "The Shark," in conjunction
with the other members of the Sharkpack, will begin presenting art
exhibitions and events on a semi-regular basis within his vast studio
space, which will also soon have a radical expansion. Thus it is now
officially designated THE SHARKPIT.The first event is
an "apero and Vernissage" (to use European words), that is an opening
and display of smaller works by the EuroShark Mark Staff Brandl on THURSDAY OCTOBER 16 from 7:30 pm on (see below or here),
presented as an addendum to his Krannert Art Museum installation. A
preview of Kimler's huge recent paintings will also be visible. Infollowing months a complete exhibition of these works will occur. Stay
tuned!
International artist Mark Staff Brandl, a Chicago native now living in Zurich, will be showing in Chicago and, downstate, at the University of Illinois. These are great opportunities to see his work inspired by many ideas including comic books!
Try to fit one of these shows into your jam-packed month, OK?
