Beginning April 7, acclaimed exhibition Skin in the Game will showcase Troyli’s work alongside more than 40 local and international artists. Curated by Zoe Lukov and produced by Abby Pucker, Skin in the Game is a vibrant public program, “exploring touch, transmission, and skin…as a boundary to protect from danger or as a porous border to receive.” The Chicago iteration is being held at 400 N. Peoria Street in the Fulton Market District through April 24.
Celebrate the opening of the exhibition by joining artists and curators at Blind Barber cocktail lounge for a Skin in the Game afterparty on Thursday, April 7 at 10:00 p.m.. The lounge will showcase one of Troyli pieces that’s been reimagined as a vinyl. The event is RSVP-only. Click here for ticket details.
Additionally, from April 7-10, you can find Troyli’s work at the Monique Meloche booth in Navy Pier’s Festival Hall, the official location of the EXPO. Single-day tickets for the EXPO start at $30.
TRiiBE publisher Morgan Elise Johnson spoke with Troyli earlier this week. They talked about his move to Chicago, his current showcase at Monique Meloche gallery and the role of self criticism in his art.
